Wen Qi looked at Meng Ya approvingly, but clapped her hands.
"Well said. With your determination, I think you have a chance to make it to the end. I'll pass here."
Fu Shilang also spoke up, "I see a strength in you that refuses to give up. Can you tell me why you started cooking?"
Speaking of this, Mengya's face showed a hint of nostalgia.
"When I started having vision problems, everything I was familiar with was gone. My life was suddenly disrupted, and I was depressed for a long time."
"Food and cooking became the only familiar things I found after I lost my sight. To comfort me, my mother would always come up with new ways to cook. She loved playing a game with me where we'd have to guess how a dish was made and what sauces were in it. She'd also get me to bake cookies and cook with her. Gradually, I found the joy in it."
"Cooking is an interesting thing. As long as you do it, you will get results. Although I can't see, I can touch and smell the ingredients. When I make a dish, my family will be very happy to eat it together."
"I want to pass on my desire to cook."
Hearing Meng Ya's words, Fu Shilang laughed.
"What you said is the most important thing for a chef. We shouldn't let external factors stop anyone from pursuing their dreams. Come on, kid, this apron belongs to you."
He stood up and took the initiative to walk over and hand the apron to Mengya.
"Oh my god! Thank you so much."
Mengya touched the apron and was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
Aqiao outside the screen was even more excited than Mengya and burst into tears.
"Wow, this is so touching! The production team should choose more contestants like this! It's much more interesting than the contestants quarreling!"
Aqiao's mother also nodded in agreement. "It's more interesting than last season. Last season was full of arguments. It felt like the contestants had no real talent at all, and the winner was a dud."
Aqiao's father lamented, "Last season received a lot of negative reviews and had very poor ratings. Fortunately, things have changed this season. Cooking competitions shouldn't have melodramatic plots anyway."
It's rare for the family of three to reach a consensus on this matter, and the last season was considered the ugliest in the history of "MasterChef."
On the other side, Mingyue and the others were also watching the first episode of the show.
When seeing this part, the remaining contestants began to talk about it.
Lan Qingying frowned, "I didn't expect Yuwen Yi to say this at the beginning. This is too much!"
Kevin explained, "Maybe it's for the show's effect. Creating this kind of debate can attract attention."
"Don't be so generous to others." Lan Qingying rolled her eyes at Kevin, then patted Mengya's shoulder. "It's not easy for you either."
Meng Ya smiled and said, "It's nothing. Besides, I've come this far. There's no need to dwell on the little episodes of the past."
Although the show has just started airing, the recording of the "MasterChef" competition has reached the top six and is getting closer and closer to the finale.
After being admitted to the preliminaries, the contestants who get the aprons will enter "MasterChef" for closed competition and training.
There is a competition every week, and the rest of the time they need to follow various teachers to learn knife skills, plating, baking, etc.
Although only the competition is shown on the screen, the contestants actually have a lot of experiences behind them.
Mei Fei tried to smooth things over, "Now, most of us have already performed, isn't it Mingyue's turn next? Mingyue, what dish did you cook in the preliminaries?"
Mingyue kept it a secret, "You'll find out if you keep watching."
"Chef Fu Shilang remembered your dish for the entire season, and everyone is extremely curious." Di Hu also joined the conversation.
These are the current top six contestants of "MasterChef": Lan Qingying, Kevin, Meng Ya, Mei Fei, Ming Yue, and Di Hu.
The six of them happened to be in the common room, watching the first episode of the show together.
Lan Qingying sighed, "Alas, the show aired a little late, and now we're the only contestants left. Otherwise, it would be more lively if more people could watch it together."
"Sister Lan, this is a competition, not a game of house," Mei Fei reminded helplessly.
Kevin pointed at the screen, "Look! Di Hu is on stage!"
After Mengya got the apron, a few contestants flashed by, and the next one to come up was Di Hu.
Everyone laughed and teased him.
"There's definitely no need to guess what Di Hu is cooking, hahaha."
"Yes, it's obvious."
Di Hu touched the back of his head and asked blankly, "What? Why do you know? I don't remember me saying that."
Mengya also laughed, "Even I can guess it."
Di Hu's eyes widened, "Even Meng Ya could guess it!"
Everyone was amused by Di Hu's silly look and explained, "Because you are a dessert fanatic, you must be making desserts."
Di Hu, a big guy, showed a shy expression, "Hehe, you're right, I like sweet food."
On the screen, the lava cake served by Di Hu received rave reviews.
Next was Kevin's lamb braised in red wine, which received two votes and successfully won the apron.
The judges couldn't stop eating Mei Fei's twice-cooked pork, and he received three votes.
Finally, it was Mingyue's turn to appear, and she brought out a large bowl.
"This is what I prepared: noodles with screw peppers, sea sausage, and pork belly."
For a moment, everyone's attention was attracted by this bowl of noodles.
On top is the fried pork belly with screw peppers and sea intestines in a rich and oily sauce, and on the bottom is the slightly thicker hand-rolled noodles.
Wen Qi, who tasted it first, stirred the noodles with chopsticks. Soon the off-white noodles were covered with brown sauce, making them look more appetizing.
