Seeing that some people were preparing to give up because Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi had already taken action, the director gave them a timely reminder.

The other three groups also sprang into action.

Since there are four groups of guests, the production team naturally prepared four sets of kitchen utensils so that everyone could work together without disturbing each other.

But just as smoothly as Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi's group had it, the other three groups had it just as badly.

In previous seasons, everyone was an equal, noob-like player, so the problem wasn't too big.

This year, however, Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi have been helping each other out. Whenever Yan Keyi cooks a dish, she will naturally feed it to Jiang Ning so that she can have a taste first.

Then, by switching to other groups beforehand, one group would burn or another would char, creating a scene reminiscent of a kitchen explosion.

The contrast between the two makes it even funnier.

Two hours later, the process was successfully completed, and a table full of food was served.

"Okay, thank you all for your hard work, teachers. Let's see what delicious food you've prepared."

Delicious, ×; Poisonous, √

"Is this scrambled eggs with tomatoes and tomato egg soup made by Teacher Qu and Teacher Miao? It looks a bit like caramelized scrambled eggs."

[I'm dying of laughter! This is such a familiar scene. Director, you're as sharp-tongued as ever!]

During the evaluation segment, the production team zoomed in on the food on the table and began to evaluate the dishes.

The first dish to be sharply criticized was the caramelized scrambled eggs made by Qu Shuyu and Miao Fangcai.

Low emotional intelligence: Burnt the food; High emotional intelligence: Caramelized scrambled eggs.

Next up were Mu Xin and Ai Xuan's stir-fried greens and stir-fried cabbage.

[It's clear that the idol is quite strict with their figure management; they definitely eat a very vegetarian and healthy diet.]

This doesn't look very appetizing or flavorful, but it probably won't make you gain weight easily.

But when the camera turned to the dishes that Cheng Jin and Yin Rong were making, the production team fell into deep thought.

[Haha, Actor Cheng and Young Master Yin are quite clever; they managed to exploit a bug.]

"Smashed cucumber, sugar-coated tomato, Teacher Cheng and Teacher Yin seem to be breaking the rules a bit."

The director gave a helpless evaluation.

"Just tell me whether you've cooked the dish or not."

Yin Rong directly refuted the program's evaluation.

That's why the director couldn't say anything.

"Okay, let's see what Teacher Yan and Teacher Jiang did last."

After evaluating the first three groups, it's time for Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi's turn.

"Corn and pork rib soup, sweet and sour pork ribs, cola chicken wings, and omelet rice. Teacher Yan's group made quite a few dishes. And they all look pretty delicious."

Oh no, a group of people who actually know how to cook have snuck in!

Previously, all the groups had been racking their brains over their menus, and although they saw Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi taking action, they didn't really have high hopes. Now that they have some free time, they've realized that Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi are really good cooks.

"It smells delicious!"

Ai Xuan came closer and gave her approval.

Needless to say, it looks beautiful and smells wonderful.

Moreover, the fact that they were able to prepare so many dishes in such a short time already shows that they are truly skilled cooks.

"Want to try some?"

Yan Keyi had never cooked for anyone other than Jiang Ning before. Since this was already happening, she wanted to let everyone else try it too.

However, before that, the production team should try it out and give it a score.

In the end, the production team unanimously agreed that Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi successfully won first place.

After all, their group's food was delicious and visually appealing; it would have been really unreasonable if they hadn't won first place.

The second place went to Yin Rong and Cheng Jin. Because it was a cold dish, although their knife skills might be average, the taste was hard to go wrong with, especially compared to the other two groups, they still managed to stand out.

As a result, they successfully won second place.

The third place went to the group of Mu Xin and Ai Xuan.

Although the boiled vegetables had no flavor, at least they were edible.

As for Qu Shuyu and Miao Fangcai's group, the representatives sent by the production team were fully prepared before they started eating. The final taste was indeed indescribable.

After the production team finishes scoring, the guests can start enjoying their lunch.

Fortunately, although the production team asked them to cook for themselves, they did not require them to finish all the food they cooked.

In the end, Yan Keyi's cooking skills were unanimously recognized by everyone.

This first place is truly well-deserved.

Fortunately, Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi had estimated the number of people before making the meal; otherwise, with only one chopstick per person, there might not have been enough to go around.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the production crew reappeared.

The program crew members also appeared carrying an envelope.

"What I have in my hand is the teachers' food allowance for the next few weeks."

Before the cooking competition, the director had mentioned the food expenses, but he didn't specify how they would be used.

After all, this was something that hadn't appeared in previous seasons, and no one knew what the production team was planning, so everyone listened attentively to what the production team would say next.
