Regarding Lu Rong's actions.
Everyone at the scene exclaimed that they couldn't understand it.
"What?! He clearly got a perfect score, but the judges gave him a lower score."
"What kind of thought process is this? Forgive me for being blunt, but I really can't keep up."
"Isn't it... that you're unhappy about getting a perfect score? Why would you want it to be a little lower? I really don't understand."
"I don't know. If I got a perfect score, I'd be overjoyed. How could I possibly let the judges give me a lower score?"
"Has Lu Rong lost his mind? How could he make such an excessive request to the judges? If it were me, I would be happy to see the judges give me a low score."
"I don't understand it, but I'm deeply shocked. Let's see what Lu Rong has to say first."
Not only the audience at the scene, but even Su Tingyun and the others standing next to her couldn't understand why Lu Rong did this.
"Senior Lu Rong, what do you mean?" Su Tingyun asked softly from the side.
Of course, she didn't doubt Lu Rong's actions, because she knew that Lu Rong had his reasons for doing so. She just couldn't understand it and wanted to ask him why.
Upon hearing Su Tingyun's question, the others also looked over.
I want to know the real answer.
Lu Rong held the microphone, smiled slightly, brought it to his lips, and slowly said:
"What I really want to say is that this dish is just one of my countless masterpieces. If you give this dish a perfect score, then how do you rate my other, even better dishes?"
Upon hearing this, the audience and judges were immediately dumbfounded.
They would never have imagined that Lu Rong would say such a thing.
Does that mean Lu Rong will make many more exquisite dishes like this?
This is just one small dish among many, nothing to brag about.
At this moment, the eyes of the audience and judges lit up.
From this perspective, Lu Rong is a real treasure.
There is a possibility that even more amazing works will emerge from him.
Li Shangui stroked his beard, his mind racing with thoughts.
If it weren't for his identity and the fact that so many people were watching, he would have burst into laughter and danced around.
Because Lu Rong was the person I thought highly of, and I was the one who recommended him.
Lu Rong's performance has truly exceeded his expectations.
I thought I was going to create a rising star, but now it seems that this is not a rising star, but a world star.
"Are you really sure you want to do this?" Since it's the players' request, if it's reasonable, then the referees will naturally comply.
Although they are old, they are not old-fashioned.
Know how to respect the opinions of the players.
Lu Rong nodded firmly: "I think there is no limit to deliciousness. There is no most delicious dish, only the relentless pursuit of deliciousness."
"If you give me full marks for this dish, then when a dish that tastes better than mine comes out, how many marks should I give it? I can't give it more than 100 marks, since the highest score is only 100."
"So my suggestion is to lower my score a bit, leaving some room for improvement, otherwise I will become more complacent in the future."
After Lu Rong finished speaking, he handed the microphone to the staff member next to him and sat down amidst the attention of everyone.
Although the request sounds a bit strange, it seems to make some sense now that he's said it.
The referees and Wu Zhengchuan listened attentively.
Upon reflection, they realized that the dish had exceeded their expectations so much that they couldn't help but give it a perfect score.
But consider this: it doesn't mean there aren't other dishes in the world that taste better than this one.
They just haven't encountered it yet.
Moreover, judging from what Lu Rong said earlier, it seems that he can make even more delicious dishes than this one.
Thinking about it this way, his request is indeed reasonable.
Li Shangui looked at the four judges beside him, but none of them spoke.
They exchanged glances.
Then he typed the numbers back into the keyboard.
The large screen that had just displayed "perfect score" suddenly changed.
[Contestant No. 88, Lu Rong.]
[Score: 99, 99, 99, 99, 99]
Total Score: 495
The score was announced, and the entire stadium erupted in cheers once again.
Although it wasn't a perfect score, the cheers seemed even louder than the first time.
Not perfect, but better than perfect.
This demonstrates Lu Rong's confidence in food.
On the other hand, it also shows Lu Rong's respect for the culinary profession.
Instead of becoming arrogant and complacent because of temporary success, they remained humble and cautious, wholeheartedly dedicated to presenting the world with even more delicious dishes.
That's the kind of spirit that chefs need.
At this moment, Lu Rong seemed like a world-famous superstar, deeply loved and supported by everyone.
The entire audience couldn't help but stand up and shout Lu Rong's name loudly.
"Lu Rong! Lu Rong! Lu Rong!"
"Lu Rong! Lu Rong! Lu Rong!"
This scene is like a hat trick or a stunning comeback in a football match.
The atmosphere was extremely intense.
"I thought Lu Rong was up to something, but I didn't expect it was for this reason. If that's the case, I support him."
"I never expected that he would be so humble after making such high-class dishes. I admire his spirit."
