But Song Shanchuan didn't pay attention to anyone's thoughts and was immersed in cooking.

Seeing her slender fingers flexibly turning the knife handle, the pink ham and white bamboo shoots soon became delicate little flowers. When the chicken was stewed until cooked, she boiled and shelled the pigeon and quail eggs, and carved various shapes on the eggs, such as bird heads and wings, to make them look like hundreds of birds.

The cooking lasted for more than an hour. By the time the chef from Beijing North was done, Song Shanchuan was still stirring the soup in the pot slowly.

Even Xie Yunshu, who was watching TV, broke into a cold sweat for 놛...

Li Chuchu glanced at her and said, "But even if she loses, it's still impressive. She's in the top five in the country. The reporters will definitely compete to report on her when she returns."

Chen Jingxue curled her lips and said, "It's not the end yet, maybe I can win. I think this young chef from Yunshu Hotel seems to be very talented."

Su Qinglian firmly supported the daughter-in-law she had pursued. She raised her chin slightly and said, "Cooking is a matter of personal opinion. If you don't choose Chef Song, it means you don't have good taste!"

The three of them spoke one by one, and Xie Yunshu was not so nervous: "Shanchuan is only in his early twenties this year, he has already won."

At this age, competing with these chefs who can be regarded as elders and making it to the finals, the result is not important. What is important is that the chef competition recognizes Song Shanchuan's cooking skills.

But no matter what, without exception, even Xie Yunshu himself did not think that Song Shanchuan could win the championship.

Except Lin Cuiping...

She sat alone in the waiting area outside, staring at the TV with her fellow candidates, muttering, "Yamakawa must win, must win!"

A young man of similar age nearby heard her and said unconvincedly: "My master must have won!"

Lin Cuiping glared: "Our chef wins!"

"The national leaders praised the dish made by my chef, Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix. And your chef doesn't look even older than me. I don't think he can even cook this dish!" The young man didn't show any weakness and pointed at the TV screen: "You actually put ham in it. How can you put ham in a royal dish?"

Lin Cuiping didn't care about that. She always helped her relatives without doing anything. She immediately raised her eyebrows and started arguing with 놛: "What's wrong with putting ham in? Do you know how expensive ham is? This is called innovation. Do you understand innovation? The national leader also said that young people should be innovative. Do you know what it means to be pushed forward by the waves behind and there is always a mountain higher than the other?!"

"Let me tell you, our chef Song is called Shanchuan, which means the highest mountain!"

She was a great quarreler, speaking fast and steadily. The young man was so anxious that his face turned red, and he couldn't say a word of rebuttal. Finally, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "You, you wait and see who wins!"

Anyone with eyes and knowledge of cooking would know that Song Shanchuan made a mistake in making this dish!

How can you win if you cook the wrong dish!

Lin Cuiping rolled her eyes and said, "Don't cry if you lose. I won't pity you!"

"You!" The young man was so angry that he kept talking for a long time, then turned his head away and said, "A good man doesn't fight with a woman!"

Lin Cuiping snorted: "If you can't win, what are you fighting for?"

When the two people were arguing, they had already reached the stage of tasting the dishes and dividing the food.

A total of ten judges were invited, all of whom were relatively authoritative people. Among them were respected veteran chefs who had many apprentices, directors who specialized in food programs, and several chefs who had obtained national special certificates.

The finals used a 100-point system, with the highest and lowest scores of the ten judges removed and the average score used to rank the contestants.

After Chef Jingbei's dish was served, all ten judges showed satisfied expressions on their faces. He was indeed a chef praised by the leaders. This dish could be described as perfect, with no faults in color, aroma or taste.

Song Shanchuan was the last one in line. When his dish was brought to the judges, everyone had a subtle expression. After all, they had just tasted the same dish prepared by the chef from Beijing North, so it was easy to tell whose dish was of a higher standard.

If it was a different dish, I could use the difference in taste of the ingredients to excuse it, but if it was the same dish, there was no possibility of explanation.

Although everyone had tasted the Dragon and Phoenix dish made by Song Shanchuan before and had a good impression of this young chef who was not easily affected by fame or criticism, everyone was almost certain in their hearts that 놛 would definitely lose.

But after several people tasted it, the expressions on their faces gradually changed from subtle to shocked. They looked at each other and unanimously took a second bite of the chopsticks, and then a third one...

The judges tasted one portion of each chef's dish, but when it came to Song Shanchuan, he ate three portions in a row and still felt unsatisfied!

Lin Cuiping held her breath and stared at the TV nervously. The boy next to her looked at her and couldn't help but say, "She ate two more pieces, so she must have felt that the taste was not right..."

"Shut up!" Lin Cuiping glared at him fiercely: "If you continue talking, I'll pull your hair out!"

Young man: “…”

The host on TV had already received the scores of each chef and began to announce the scores according to the vote numbers. When she said that Chef Jingbei scored 90, everyone showed an expression of "as expected".

There is no suspense about the result. Ninety points is close to the full score!

In the last chef competition, the first place winner only scored 96 points, so you must be the champion!

As for Song Shanchuan, perhaps the dish he made earlier did taste a bit strange, so the referee tasted it twice more.

The young man who was speechless after being scolded by Lin Cuiping became proud: "I said our master would definitely win! It's useless no matter how fierce you are!"

Lin Cuiping bit her lips tightly and didn't say a word this time. She took a deep breath and told herself in her heart that no matter what the result was, in her eyes, Song Shanchuan was the champion!

A second later, the host on TV picked up the microphone and said, "The last candidate is Song Shanchuan, the chef from Haicheng Hai'an Hotel, and his score is 99 points!"

What? !

As soon as she finished speaking, there was an uproar inside and outside the TV!

The young man stood up suddenly and said, "Impossible, this is impossible! How can I get such a high score when I even made the wrong dish?"

Cheating!

But I couldn't say these two words. What does 99 mean? Excluding the highest and lowest, that is to say, the scores given by the ten judges were almost all between 90 and 100. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get this average score!

How could Song Shanchuan, a young man with no background, have the ability to bribe ten referees at the same time?

But why?!
