"Time's up! Put your hands down!"
After the judges announced that the time was up, all the contestants sighed.
Some people feel that after relaxing, their minds are cleared.
Some people looked at the unsatisfactory food in front of them with sad faces.
Others are confident about their final success and feel they will definitely get a chance to advance.
Fu Shilang announced, "Next, each group please bring up the dishes you have prepared in order."
"First, the first group."
The 10 members of the first group placed their dishes in front of the judges.
Wen Qi said, "Come on, introduce the dishes you prepared."
Chubby Mia stepped forward to introduce, "My main course is bacon fried eggs and pancakes with berry jam. The salad we prepared is roasted pumpkin salad with vinaigrette, and the dessert is lemon soufflé."
Wen Qi raised her eyebrows after hearing this. "Soufflé is a relatively difficult dessert. You actually chose to challenge it. Let's see how you do."
The three judges walked forward and looked at the presentation of the first set of dishes one by one before starting to taste them.
Wen Qi pressed the surface of the soufflé with a spoon and said, "It's quite fluffy. Let's take a look inside, okay?"
She dipped the spoon into the soufflé, scooped out a spoonful and put it into her mouth.
"Not bad, the moistness is also OK. Who made these soufflés?"
Three people in the team raised their hands, including the big man Di Hu.
“We baked it together.”
Wen Qi praised, "Well done! These soufflés can definitely be put in the restaurant and sold to the public."
She continued, "The berry jam tastes delicious too. Your group is really good at making desserts."
Mia smiled, "Thanks for the compliment, the berry jam is my grandmother's recipe."
The camera cuts and the judges call the next group forward.
In fact, during the filming, all three judges will taste and comment on the food, but due to editing time factors, sometimes only one judge's comments will be released.
Viewers like Aqiao, who follow the show every season, are already familiar with the program team's routine.
Ah Qiao took a sip of milk tea and thought to herself, "Looks like the first group should be a sure thing."
The second group came forward, placed their dishes on the table, and then took the initiative to introduce them:
"Hello judges, we have prepared preserved egg and lean pork congee, Chinese mixed vegetables, and yam and jujube paste cake."
Fu Shilang scooped the porridge with a spoon to see how thick it was and whether it was overcooked.
He picked up another pair of chopsticks to mix the vegetables, and finally broke off a small half piece of yam and jujube paste cake.
The final review was: "Overall, it's not bad, the jujube paste is delicious. But your plating is not very good. I suggest you think about it more in the future."
Ah Qiao listened to the judges and guessed, "This group's performance is average, so they should be safe. As long as someone performs worse than them, they won't be eliminated."
Next is the third group.
Their group's plating was very eye-catching. A piece of rice leaf was placed on a small wicker plate, with three rice balls on it.
To the left of the rice ball was a small portion of tofu salad in a wooden bowl, and to the right was a dorayaki halved on a small sukiyaki plate.
Yu Wenyi admired the group's plating and said, "Your plating is great. I hope the food tastes as good as the presentation."
He cut open a rice ball with his knife and fork, looked at the filling inside, took a small bite, scooped a spoonful of tofu salad, and finally picked up the Dorayaki and took a bite.
During the tasting, he remained expressionless, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Yu Wenyi wiped his mouth with a tissue, then raised his eyes and stared at the third group.
"Do you taste test the rice balls?"
A boy with single eyelids stood up and said, "I tasted it. I tasted it."
"Oh? Did you taste it?" Yuwen Yi picked up the remaining half of the rice ball and handed it over, "Try it again now."
The boy with single eyelids didn't understand what was going on, so he walked over and ate the rice ball.
Yuwen Yi asked him, "What do you think?"
The boy with single eyelids replied, "I think it's quite delicious."
Yuwen Yi snorted coldly, picked up another rice ball and asked him to taste it. After he ate it, he said, "Did you find any problem this time?"
After chewing, the boy with single eyelids suddenly turned pale and said, "There's something wrong with the food. The filling is too sweet. Sorry, chef, I didn't make this filling. I don't know."
Yuwen Yi interrupted him, "Whether you know it or not, your team had better pray that the person who mistook sugar for candy won't affect your entire team."
"And there's something wrong with the other rice balls, the seasoning is too bland!"
"The same thing happened with the Dorayaki. The crust was too dry, and the red bean paste was not very moist. I needed to drink three glasses of water after eating it."
"Of all these, only the salad is correct. The problem is, if you can make mistakes with something as basic as salad, your entire team might as well just go home."
After Yuwen Yi finished criticizing, he directly called the next team to come on stage.
Off-screen, Aqiao lamented, "This group is probably going to be gone."
The fourth group served their dishes, praying that the judges' anger would not affect them.
"Our group prepared Eggs Benedict, tomato burrata salad with balsamic vinegar sauce, and chocolate lava cake."
Fu Shilang looked at the food in front of him. "You actually made Eggs Benedict. That means when I cut into the poached egg, I'll see a runny yolk, right?"
"Yes, Chef."
"Okay, then let's see if that's the case."
Fu Shilang gently cut the egg with a knife, and instantly the yolk flowed out and dripped onto the bacon and spinach below.
