Although Wu Zhengchuan wasn't a judge, as the host and a longtime friend, it wouldn't hurt to give him a bowl of soup. Besides, the remaining judges already had plenty, so giving them an extra portion wouldn't be a problem.

At this point, the soup was divided into six portions, and several judges couldn't wait to drink it. Many people stopped using spoons and just poured the soup directly into their mouths.

There was none of the leisurely feeling one usually has when enjoying delicious food.

On the contrary, everyone was eager, as if afraid that someone else would snatch it from them.

Everyone on the scene was watching them intently, even the photographers were stunned.

Fortunately, the cameras were already in place; otherwise, viewers in front of their screens probably wouldn't have been able to see the scene.

Lu Rong's dish is undoubtedly one of the top dishes in the Manchu Han Imperial Feast menu.

After this period of understanding, although they are all Manchu Han Imperial Feast recipes with a total of more than 1,000 dishes, the dishes are also divided into different grades.

Some dishes, depending on their rarity and cooking difficulty, are clearly superior to ordinary Manchu Han Imperial Feast recipes, and this chicken and black-boned chicken soup with matsutake mushrooms is obviously such a dish.

That's why he chose this dish.

Seeing that several judges had drunk the soup, the others were extremely jealous, because they knew very well that they might never taste anything so delicious in their lives.

The aroma of the dish alone was enough to make them craving more; they couldn't even imagine how wonderful it would be to actually drink it.

The viewers in front of the screen were engaged in heated discussions.

The number of viewers in the live stream has exceeded 100 million, and comments are flying everywhere, making it impossible to keep up.

If the blocking mode isn't enabled, the entire screen will probably be filled with text.

You can't see any picture at all.

If the computer or mobile phone has low specifications, it will probably crash on the spot.

"I'm wondering if they'll all have their clothes ripped off again?"

"Does this even need to be said? They're all guaranteed to have their clothes ripped off. Although I've noticed these judges are quite clever these past few days, buttoning their clothes up very tightly and deliberately wearing clothes that aren't easy to tear, it seems that even after eating Lu Rong's dish, it's all useless."

"I've seen so many clothes-ripping videos these past few days that they don't seem so amazing anymore. When I first saw one a while ago, it seemed like it was fake, but now it just seems so ordinary."

"What do you mean by 'it's just so-so'? It's really just sour grapes. Blame it on Lu Rong being too amazing, which is why you're all tired of seeing him. In reality, 99.9% of chefs would never be able to achieve that 'clothes ripped off' state in their entire lives."

"I'm wondering if all the referees have their pants on properly. I'm worried that not only will their clothes rip, but their pants will rip too, which would be embarrassing. After all, hundreds of millions of people are watching the show at the same time. If something happens, it will be big news."

"Don't worry, judging from their appearance, they're wearing several pairs of pants, probably to avoid this kind of situation. Their clothes are also of very good quality and look very tight."

"It's funny to think that you have to pay attention to what you're wearing when you're eating, and you have to worry about accidentally exposing yourself."

"Fortunately, all the judges are men. If there were female judges, I can't even imagine what would have happened."

"Is there anything more serious than clothes ripping off? I've never heard of such a thing."

"I don't think so. I've heard that the most amazing thing in the food industry right now is clothes exploding. We've witnessed history now, witnessing clothes exploding so many times. This was something we wouldn't have dared to even think about before."

"I have a feeling that Lu Rong's dish is very likely to witness history today, because I think something even more amazing than clothes exploding might happen."

"What the person upstairs said makes sense. The 'clothing explosion' was only something that the most skilled chefs could do in the past. But if you surpass the dishes made by the chefs before you, then there is a possibility that something even more amazing than the 'clothing explosion' could happen."

"These judges have already had their soup. Look at their expressions right now, they're a bit strange."

"I really didn't notice until you pointed it out, but I don't think there was any indication that their clothes were going to rip off."

"No way, this dish is obviously better than the previous one, how come it didn't even have the clothes ripped off?"

"Could it be that everything about this dish was just a facade? In reality, the taste is nowhere near as good as the dishes Lu Rong made before. This dish is actually a failure."

"It's very possible that we've all been misled by appearances, and that the taste is actually not that great."

"That does happen. For example, some hotel dishes look delicious, but when you actually eat them, you find that they don't even taste as good as those from street food stalls."

"Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible. How could Lu Rong make such a mistake? After all, this is the final of the National Culinary Competition. He should be giving it his all."

"It's hard to say. I think that when it comes to cooking, if you're not sure how to get it right, you can't always make the most delicious dish."

"Look everyone, these judges seem a bit off."

Back at the scene, after seeing that several judges and Wu Zhengchuan had all drunk Lu Rong's bowl of black chicken and mushroom soup, everyone watched intently, curious about what would happen next.

Unlike before, there was no incident of clothing ripping off.

After the judges finished their drinks, they all seemed calm. None of them spoke; instead, they squinted their eyes as if sensing something.
