A small bamboo plate was placed in front of the judges.
All the judges' eyes lit up.
A piece of rice dumpling leaf is placed on a bamboo plate, and a bamboo-shaped snack is placed on it.
This dessert looks just like real bamboo joints, with a light green skin and a beige interior.
The bamboo joint is filled with transparent jelly, and a piece of tea leaf is dotted on the jelly, making it look as if the bamboo joint is filled with tea.
"Wow, this really looks like a work of art."
While Yuwen Yi was sighing, Zheng Ling had already picked up a spoon and unceremoniously dug open the bamboo joints.
“Food has to be not only good-looking, but also delicious.”
As he spoke, Zheng Ling scooped up a full spoonful and put it into his mouth. Then, an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.
The crust is white chocolate with a pomelo scent, and inside you can eat soft white tea jelly and lychee jelly, fluffy Longjing cake, silky citrus mousse and rich cream cheese, and at the bottom there are crispy biscuits with a buttery aroma.
When you take a bite, the aroma of citrus is mixed with the sweetness of lychee, and the aroma of tea blends the two together better. The tea flavor can also relieve greasiness very well.
The other judges cut the bamboo desserts open and carefully observed the cross-sections. The layers inside were distinct and even, and the flavors blended well when eaten together. If tasted separately, each one was also delicious.
Fu Shilang praised, "It's a miracle that you can complete this in one hour. You have to bake the cake, prepare various cream mousses, and finally do the modeling. And you actually successfully completed this challenge and brought us a surprise."
Wen Qi was also very satisfied with this. "I like the flavor combination you chose. This is an excellent dessert. Both the appearance and the taste are perfect. If I see this in a restaurant, I will definitely order it to try."
Zhao Ruixiang also praised it highly, "This taste is very popular among old people like me. It is not too sweet, and the lychee and tea flavors blend well."
After the judges finished eating Mingyue’s dessert, it was time for the most crucial moment, which was to announce the results of the finals.
Who will be the champion this time?
The judges asked the three contestants to wait for a moment as they needed to discuss.
——
"What do you think of the performance of these three players?"
Zheng Ling said, "All three of us cooked excellent appetizers, equally good. For the main course, I like Mingyue's crispy pork liver; it's absolutely amazing, and the flavor will surprise you. As for dessert, Mingyue's is the most beautiful, but I personally prefer the yogurt rice dumplings because I love the sticky texture."
Other judges also spoke:
“The main course is definitely Ming Yue’s best.”
"Mengya's duck breast was a bit of a shame, and Dihu's roast pork rice noodles lacked innovation."
. . . . . .
Zhao Ruixiang also said, "I think it also depends on the connection between the three dishes. Mengya's dishes are innovative and combine Chinese and Western cuisine, Dihu's dishes bring out local characteristics, and Mingyue's focus is on promoting the style of Chinese cuisine. In this regard, I think she should be chosen as the champion."
"Well, in terms of difficulty, Mingyue's three dishes are also the most difficult. I agree."
"So if everyone agrees, shall we go out and announce the results?"
——
When the judges came out, the three contestants were standing next to each other holding hands.
Although Mingyue was sure that she could win the championship, at this moment, she began to feel a little nervous because of the atmosphere around her.
But soon, her nervousness disappeared in the judges' long and formal speeches. As the judges kept keeping her in suspense, Mingyue lost her patience and began to stare blankly.
She was just blanking out like this until she suddenly heard her own name.
"Let us congratulate the champion of the fifteenth season of MasterChef—Ming Yue!!!"
There was thunderous applause. Di Hu and Meng Ya happily hugged Mingyue and watched her walk forward to receive the trophy from the judges.
Fu Shilang asked with a smile, "Congratulations, Mingyue. As the champion, you will receive a prize of one million meters and a chance to realize your wish."
"You must have been looking forward to this for a long time. What is your wish?"
Mingyue smiled excitedly. "I didn't expect the competition to have lasted a year already. During this time, I've developed a close relationship with everyone, so I wanted to create something very memorable for me. I wanted to use the MasterChef filming location."
When Mingyue said this, everyone was stunned for a moment because they were too shocked.
(?o?)
Even the judges lost control of their expressions. "Huh? Here?"
"Yes." Mingyue nodded seriously, "Of course I don't want it for free. I will pay for it."
"We will discuss this matter slowly later. Now congratulations again on winning the championship! Come! Open the champagne for the champion!" Fu Shilang quickly passed over this matter and let the process continue. Buying land is such a big thing that it cannot be simply explained on the show.
Fu Shilang looked at Mingyue, who was surrounded by the contestants, with some emotion. Young people are full of vigor and ambition.
But it's a good thing to have ambition, so you can keep moving forward.
After the competition, Mingyue felt that nothing had changed from usual, except that she had a trophy in her arms and a bunch of business cards.
Zheng Ling invited her to participate in the filming of a documentary about finding food ingredients; Mr. Zhao Ruixiang also left his business card; Fu Shilang gave Mingyue a letter of recommendation, saying that with this, she could go to any school she wanted; Yuwen Yi invited Mingyue to come to his restaurant to study if she wanted to learn Western cuisine; Wen Qi hoped to cooperate with Mingyue to launch bamboo desserts.
Fu Shilang, Yuwen Yi and Wen Qi have become familiar with each other after spending a year together, and Mingyue has added each other's contact information.
After the photography was finished, the director came over and repeatedly confirmed with Mingyue whether she was serious about buying the land.
After seeing Mingyue nod, the director said that he would help her report to the group and would do his best to help her.
Mingyue originally thought that she would have to wait for a while, but unexpectedly she received a reply three days later. The group agreed and sold it to Mingyue at a 10% discount based on the original price. The condition was that if there was a chance of cooperation in the future, Mingyue would give them priority.
Mingyue raised her eyebrows, not expecting this matter to go so smoothly.
It seems that the title of champion is really useful.
It’s great that after I show my strength, everything in front of me makes way for me.
