That's what they say, but this morning at the Kyoto University cafeteria, it was a completely different story.
At that time, it seemed as if they weren't there to judge, but rather to eat, each one eating more than the last.
In particular, Wang Dequan, who was in charge, ate three portions and even snatched Zhang Weiguo's and Ma Jiang's portions, forcing them to get more food later.
However, the leaders of Tsinghua University were unaware of this matter.
If they knew, they'd probably be furious.
This is a clear case of differential treatment.
So they just couldn't understand why none of the judges seemed to want to eat.
What is the reason?
Or is there a new regulation that says we can't eat too much?
But he had no choice. Since everyone had already gotten their food, he could only continue to smile and say:
"Haha, now that everyone has gotten their food, come over to the table and try the food from our Tsinghua University cafeteria. I guarantee you'll be satisfied..."
In fact, he felt a little guilty when he came to the end.
How could someone like Wang Dequan, who is used to eating delicacies every day, possibly be satisfied with these ordinary meals?
All I can do is hope they won't have too many complaints.
Ideally, they would find that the food at Tsinghua University is better than that at Kyoto University.
He was still confident about that.
Then, he led everyone to a corner.
There are fewer students sitting here, which makes it convenient for the judging panel members to eat here, and it also makes communication much easier.
Before long, everyone sat down, but looking at the food on their plates, no one seemed inclined to eat it.
Zhang Qiang then looked at Wang Dequan and quickly introduced him:
"This is the food at Tsinghua University. Both the quality and taste are made to a high standard. It is one of the best among universities in the country. Professor Wang, you can try it."
Because Wang Dequan held the highest position, only when Wang Dequan spoke would others dare to act.
So Zhang Qiang was very clever; his first task was to persuade Wang Dequan to enter the cave.
However, what he didn't know was that Wang Dequan lost his appetite as soon as he saw the food there.
At this moment, Wang Dequan was thinking: It used to look pretty good, but without comparison there is no harm. Now that I look at it again, I can't even muster up any appetite.
Wang Dequan reluctantly picked up a piece of lean meat from the stir-fried mushrooms and pork and put it in his mouth.
The next second he realized that the meat was overcooked and the mushrooms hadn't brought out their flavor properly.
His brows furrowed involuntarily.
Because Wang Dequan's plate did not contain Peking duck.
Noticing Wang Dequan's unusual expression, Zhang Qiang didn't care about anything else and gestured to his assistant, who immediately understood.
Then a cafeteria worker hurriedly brought over a plate of Kyoto roast duck.
Zhang Qiang took the roast duck with a smile and said, "Teacher Wang, you haven't ordered your favorite Kyoto roast duck yet. We'll have the cafeteria staff bring it to you."
Upon seeing the arrival of the Peking duck, Wang Dequan's initially somewhat displeased expression softened, and his gaze shifted to the duck.
The roast duck has a golden-brown skin and tender meat.
It looks really good.
However, in terms of both appearance and taste, it is still quite different from that of Kyoto University.
Before even starting to eat, Wang Dequan had already made a pretty good judgment.
However, seeing that everyone was watching him, he couldn't remain silent.
I picked up a piece of roast duck and put it in my mouth.
It has a delicate flavor, and you'll find the skin quite chewy when you put it in your mouth.
But that's still far from enough.
That's pretty much what I guessed; this roast duck is indeed top-notch quality when sold elsewhere.
However, after eating Lu Rong's roast duck this morning, Wang Dequan felt that the roast duck was nothing special.
After all, the threshold has been raised by Lu Rong's roast duck.
I stopped chewing after only a couple of bites.
Pretending to vomit, he actually vomited up the meat along with it.
He mumbled nervously, "Not bad, not bad. The roast duck from Tsinghua University is pretty good. It's definitely much better than what you get outside. I'm very satisfied."
"Everyone, stop looking at me and try the food. After all, it's part of our job, so everyone should do their job and give fair scores."
Hearing Wang Dequan say that, everyone started eating, but they didn't seem to want to eat any other dishes.
I only eat roast duck occasionally.
After all, it seems that only the Peking duck at Tsinghua University is better than the food at Lu Rong's place; the rest is really just so-so.
Although it's much better than other schools, it's worlds apart from Kyoto University.
If they hadn't gone to Kyoto University this morning, they probably would have given it a perfect score right now, but they're hesitant.
People's palates are very discerning. If the food they usually eat is just so-so, that's fine.
However, if one has eaten something even more delicious, then one's desires will be continuously heightened.
This leads to a situation where one cannot eat when faced with unpalatable food.
At this moment, the members of the judging panel were like wealthy people who were used to eating delicacies, and found it difficult to swallow ordinary food.
If it weren't for their professional ethics, they wouldn't even eat.
They were clever; they all wanted to save their stomachs for Peking duck at Kyoto University.
Most of the jury members ate one or two pieces of roast duck and then stopped.
Then they took out the booklet in their hands and started scoring the papers quickly.
