Because the blond man's voice was really loud.
It instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
Everyone looked closely.
It turned out that the person speaking was Yuan Hua, a troubled child.
That's not the point. The point is that his phone screen seems to be displaying a team battle interface.
This caused everyone present to burst into laughter.
Some viewers then realized that Yuan Hua had been sitting on a stool and playing on his phone ever since he started cooking.
At first, most of the audience thought he had given up, so he started playing on his phone on set.
It turns out that he's just a teenager addicted to the internet.
I couldn't resist playing on my phone while cooking, and ended up completely losing track of time.
Now, just as Li Shangui was about to announce the final results, he frantically remembered that he hadn't submitted his dishes yet.
Everyone present was completely taken aback; no one expected that someone would do something so ridiculous in such a large setting.
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! They were playing games during the competition and ended up missing the time limit."
"This guy actually called Old Man Li and the others 'old men,' I bet he's the only one who dared to call them that the whole time."
"Did you hear the pronunciation of 'defeat' in English? It sounds like they lost the fight."
"This guy's skill level is probably not that great, maybe he's not even as good as me, a Star Glory player."
"Have you heard? It seems to be Yuan Hua. He originally won first place on the first day of the Kyoto Food Festival, but he had to rush home to play games, so he gradually dropped to third place. I didn't expect to see him here today."
"No way, there really is such a person? I really thought it was just something in novels, I never thought it would actually appear in real life."
"It is said that he is a genius who has just returned from abroad. The only downside is that he picked up this bad habit of playing games after returning to China."
"What I'm more curious about is what he cooked, and he seemed to be looking at his phone the whole time. Is the food still edible?"
"It's hard to say. I reckon the food is all burnt. I wonder what kind of evaluation the judges will give. That makes me a little curious."
"He's the last one who hasn't been scored yet, and everyone's watching closely. If something funny happens, it'll be the biggest news tonight."
Many viewers have heard of Yuan Hua's genius, but nowadays it seems that they are more interested in seeing him make a fool of himself.
After all, given that Yuan Hua would make such a move in such a big competition, they assumed he had given up on the match.
I watched it purely for fun.
The angrier one was the fat chef who came with Yuan Hua.
The fat chef was Yuan Hua's assistant, and also sent by Yuan Hua's family to monitor him, so he could be considered Yuan Hua's guardian.
But Yuan Hua doesn't really listen to him.
There was nothing that could be done; although Yuan Hua was in his twenties, he still behaved like a primary school student, making him completely unpredictable.
He had just gone to the bathroom, but when he came back, he found Yuan Hua still playing games.
He hurriedly went up to remind him.
That's why the scene just now happened.
In the past few days, he has caused countless jokes. Although everyone is very annoyed, there is nothing they can do about him.
Of course, he might not be good at other things, but when it comes to cooking...
Yuan Hua is indeed a first-rate genius.
Even abroad, it has won the praise of countless foreigners.
Now that he has returned to China, his skills are among the best of all chefs.
Li Shangui originally wanted to announce the scores so he could go home and rest.
Now, because of Yuan Hua's appearance, he has decided to review his dishes before announcing the final rankings.
He waved to the staff, who immediately understood.
He went over to Yuan Hua and picked up the dark dish he had prepared.
Yes, Yuan Hua's dish looks completely black from a distance, as if it were burnt.
This made everyone present laugh.
"Look everyone, isn't he playing on his phone too much? He's burned the food."
"How are the judges supposed to eat this? I just want to know if he'll get beaten to death?"
"I'm dying of laughter. I can already imagine how angry Old Li and the others will be. I bet Yuan Hua will get a real dressing down."
"It must have been tough on Old Li and the others. They were all ready to finish, and now they have to eat such an unpalatable dish."
"I reckon after today, everyone will have a phobia of Yuan Hua."
Not only the audience, but even the judges, including Mr. Wu, frowned when they saw the dark, murky thing the staff member was holding.
As judges, they still had to taste the dish because of their job requirements.
No matter how bad it tastes, you have to eat it.
As a gourmet myself, I have tasted all sorts of delicacies.
They have extremely high requirements for food.
Ordinary food wouldn't even catch their eye, so it was really hard for them to accept eating something so dark and unappetizing.
At this moment, the expressions of the five judges on stage looked like a bitter meme, all wrinkled and miserable.
He had a wry smile on his face.
Soon, the staff brought Yuan Hua's dishes to the table.
After analyzing it for a while, the judges realized that it was a cola chicken wing dish.
But it seems to have been burned a bit, resulting in a dark, charred mess.
It looked terrible and made people lose all appetite.
The judges sat back down, but none of them seemed inclined to start.
