Chapter 195: First? Mo Qingyan did...
After Mo Qingyan finished making the dessert, she returned to the waiting room for the participating chefs and waited for the results of the competition with the other participating chefs.
Two hours of competition time is actually very sufficient.
Many participating chefs basically finished preparing the food for the competition in just one hour or even less.
So, when Mo Qingyan returned to the waiting room, basically all the participating chefs had returned.
He was the last one to return to the waiting room.
See he's finally back.
Chen Kang and others couldn't help but ask.
"Mo Qingyan, why did you come back so late? Wasn't things going well during the competition?" Chen Kang asked.
Zhou Ningren also frowned and asked, "Did the other participating chefs give you a hard time, or did other problems arise during the competition?"
Facing their concerned inquiries, Mo Qingyan smiled and shook her head, "You think too much, they didn't make things difficult for me, the competition went quite smoothly."
"Then why did you come back so late? I almost thought you gave up the competition just now." Lang Yueming was also very concerned about Mo Qingyan.
There's nothing we can do, they are all a team now.
If Mo Qingyan lost the game, it would actually be a huge blow to them.
After all, Mo Qingyan is the best cook among their group of level three chefs.
If even he lost the game. For them, the loss was huge.
Although, this competition is equivalent to an individual competition.
However, they all represent China.
Their goal is to win the championship in this international food festival.
Therefore, in fact, they all don’t want Mo Qingyan to lose the game.
"How could I give up the competition?" Mo Qingyan explained, "During the competition, I made a dessert that took a lot of time, so I was a little late."
"What dessert did you make?" Zhou Ningren asked curiously, "Is it cake or cookies?"
Mo Qingyan shook her head, "Neither, it's a very Chinese-style dessert."
"Dim sum? You're using dim sum to compete?" Zhou Ningren was extremely shocked. "Are you kidding me? How can you win?"
Zhou Ningren was not belittling the snacks of their own country, China.
The truth is, Chinese snacks really have no advantages in this kind of international competition.
After all, when it comes to Chinese snacks, the first thing that comes to mind is the traditional mooncake.
Otherwise, there are all kinds of cakes.
However, there are only a few kinds of so-called pastries.
The food they eat is ok for Chinese people, but it is totally not to the taste of Westerners.
The judges of Mo Qingyan's dessert group are all Western gourmet judges.
"It's over." When Lang Yueming heard that Mo Qingyan was actually making snacks, he immediately held his forehead with his hand, "I'm sure to lose this time."
Chen Kang also sighed deeply, "If I had known that you were making snacks, I might as well have taught you how to make cakes before the competition!"
The third-level state banquet chefs around also sighed.
They all looked dejected, as if they had already determined that Mo Qingyan would lose.
Faced with their attitude, Mo Qingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No, the result of the competition hasn't come out yet, why do you think I will lose?"
Zhou Ningren said: "Do we still need to wait for the results? Mo Qingyan, don't you know that our Chinese snacks don't suit the tastes of those foreigners?"
Mo Qingyan disagreed and said, "It doesn't matter whether it suits your taste or not, it only matters whether it tastes good or not."
"That's not right. Since you were making dim sum, why did I hear that you heated up the oil in a pan, and used lard?" When Zhou Ningren returned to the waiting room, he heard the chefs from the dessert group talking about Mo Qingyan.
They were all laughing at Mo Qingyan, and told the other chefs the joke about how Mo Qingyan used lard to heat the pan.
When Zhou Ningren heard it, he didn't believe it at all.
I thought it was those chefs spreading rumors.
"Yes, I heated up the oil in a pan and used lard." Mo Qingyan nodded.
Lard is essential for making lotus crisps.
“You use lard to make dessert?”
Zhou Ningren looked incredulous.
After hearing this, Chen Kang and others were also shocked.
"You put oil in the pan and added lard. Are you making snacks or cooking?"
"Oh my god, is this really a snack you made?"
“Can I eat that?”
They looked at Mo Qingyan with disbelief in their eyes.
They had never heard that to make dim sum, one needed to heat oil in a pan and add lard.
"Why can't we eat it? Who said that when making snacks, we can't heat oil in a pan or use lard?"
Mo Qingyan felt that the reason why there were no outstanding desserts or delicacies in China nowadays was because Chinese chefs were not innovative enough.
In other words, they are all trapped in tradition and do not have the courage to innovate.
Seeing Mo Qingyan so confident, Zhou Ningren was so angry that he laughed, "Okay, I hope you can still laugh after the results come out."
Zhou Ningren thought he was proud enough, but he didn't expect that Mo Qingyan was even more proud than him.
He was just waiting to see Mo Qingyan get slapped in the face.
The participating chefs from the Beautiful Country saw that Mo Qingyan was the last one to enter the waiting room.
The sarcasm mode started immediately.
"Look, the Chinese chef was the last one to come back. It seems that he really can't make desserts."
"I heard that Arus made a very complicated dessert, and it only took him a little over an hour. This Chinese chef actually took almost two hours. He must not know how to make desserts, which is why he took so long."
"I heard that he doesn't know how to make desserts. He even heated up the pan with oil, and he used lard. He made dessert as if it were a stir-fry."
"Heat up the pan? Add lard? Haha, that's ridiculous."
"When the results come out, we will go and laugh at him and make him too embarrassed to participate in the International Food Festival again."
…
These chefs from the beautiful country were laughing at Mo Qingyan with glee.
When the competition time came, all the gourmet judges gathered in the contestants' waiting room.
Then, the results of this competition will be announced.
In this competition, elimination is based on groups.
Only the top five chefs in each group will be able to enter the afternoon competition.
The results of the scoring for all groups were announced on the big screen.
The first thing everyone pays attention to, of course, is their own rating ranking.
Not only the chefs participating in the competition are paying attention to the scoring and ranking results, the judges are also very concerned.
Especially the judges of the dessert group.
They were really curious about the chef who made the lotus dessert.
When the results were announced, I was immediately filled with disbelief when I saw the name of the chef who took first place in the dessert category with a perfect score of 50 points.
"What? It's him?"
"How could it be him?"
"Oh my God, it's him?"
The person who got the highest score in the dessert group was Mo Qingyan from China.
Before they came, they guessed that the person who made the lotus dessert might be Ruth, Arus, or any of the other participating chefs.
But no one guessed it was Mo Qingyan.
After all, it is well known that Chinese chefs are not good at making desserts.
Therefore, when they saw that the person who made the lotus dessert was Mo Qingyan, a Chinese chef, they were so shocked that they couldn't believe it.
Others who were waiting to see Mo Qingyan's joke
The participating chefs were all surprised when they saw that the person who got the highest score in the dessert group was Mo Qingyan.
Some people even keep rubbing their eyes, thinking that there is something wrong with their eyes.
"Is there something wrong with my eyes? How come I saw that the first-placed person in the dessert group is that Chinese chef?"
"My eyes seem to be damaged too. I also saw the name of the Chinese chef at the first place."
"Is this a mistake?"
"There must be a mistake. How could he get a perfect score? Ruth came in second with only 45 points. Arus came in third with 44.5 points."
…
Those chefs from the beautiful country who were waiting to see Mo Qingyan make a fool of herself couldn't believe it at this moment.
After Zhou Ningren and others checked their own rankings and confirmed that they had successfully entered the second game, they immediately went to check Mo Qingyan's ranking.
They did not have high hopes for Mo Qingyan's ranking, and were even prepared for Mo Qingyan to be eliminated.
As a result, Mo Qingyan's name was seen ranked first in the dessert group.
"Mo Qingyan won first place? Are you sure?"
"50 points. Mo Qingyan actually got full marks."
"Good boy, I thought he was going to be eliminated, but unexpectedly, he actually got full marks."
"I thought Mo Qingyan only knew how to cook, but I didn't expect that Mo Qingyan could also make desserts?"
"His score was actually higher than Ruth and Arus. He received full marks from all five judges. What kind of dessert did he make?"
…
"Mo Qingyan, you are really good. You actually got full marks." Lang Yueming couldn't help but patted Mo Qingyan on the shoulder and praised: "You should have told us earlier that you could make desserts. We were worried about you all the time."
Mo Qingyan shrugged, her delicate face full of innocence, "I told you, I can make desserts, you just don't believe me."
Zhou Ningren said disdainfully: "Don't you even look at the process of making the dessert? You heat up the pan with oil, and add lard and lotus seeds. Who would make dessert like that?"
"Me!" Mo Qingyan said with a smile, "Who said that making desserts must follow the rules? Without bold ideas and methods, how can you make good food?"
Mo Qingyan's words made Zhou Ningren curl his lips.
But he did not refute Mo Qingyan's words.
Ruth and Arus are very confident in their desserts.
They didn't expect that they would lose to a Chinese. His face was full of disbelief.
But they will not doubt the fairness of the judges' scores.
I'm just very curious about what kind of dessert Mo Qingyan, a Chinese, made to get full marks from five judges.
The five judges of the dessert group were very surprised to find out that the person who made the lotus dessert was Mo Qingyan, a Chinese chef.
After the scores were announced and everyone left, James and the other five judges came to Mo Qingyan.
