Just as the championship trophy was about to be awarded, Wu Zhengchuan cleared his throat, coughed, and then said:
"Next, we will announce the winning team of this Kyoto Food Festival."
Although they had already guessed the outcome, everyone still held their breath and listened attentively upon hearing this.
The scene was noticeably quieter than before.
Wu Zhengchuan didn't look at the manuscript in his hand, and kept introducing it to himself:
"The champion booth achieved a staggering sales figure of RMB 100,000 in seven days, far surpassing last year's sales record."
"Their spicy and sour chicken feet and fish maw, shredded chicken and shark fin soup are very popular with customers and sell out every day."
"As the representative team of Kyoto University, their teachers and students worked hard together, rushing to the kitchen every day to bring everyone the most exquisite delicacies. Let's welcome Lu Rong from booth number 88, the representative team of Kyoto University, to the stage to receive the award."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause.
Everyone looked toward where Lu Rong and his group were.
"Senior Lu Rong, hurry up and go up." Su Tingyun was overjoyed; she was even happier to hear that Lu Rong had won an award than she was to have won one herself.
Of course, since they were all on the same team, Lu winning the award was also considered her winning the award.
Xu Fei clenched his fists, almost bursting with excitement: "I never thought that our Kyoto University would have such a day. Senior Lu Rong, hurry up and go up."
Zhang Weiguo grinned from ear to ear: "Haha, as expected of students from our Kyoto University, you are truly outstanding. This time you really got your revenge!"
Ma Jiang quickly praised, "The trophy looks shiny and nice. It would be a great souvenir to have one at home."
Lu Rong stood up, feeling very happy about everyone's blessings.
But it is also the result of their hard work.
Everyone has worked hard these past few days.
So busy I didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.
Now they have finally received the honor they deserve.
Faced with this situation, Lu Rong was filled with mixed emotions.
"Alright, I'm going up now. Thank you all for your hard work these past few days." Lu Rong thanked everyone.
After saying that, he walked towards the stage, head held high and chest out, exuding confidence.
Wu Zhengchuan was overjoyed to see Lu Rong come up.
Not only Wu Zhengchuan, but Li Shangui also couldn't take his eyes off Lu Rong for a moment.
Watching him walk from below the stage onto the stage felt like watching my beloved disciple.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Rong arrived on the stage and stood between Li Shangui and Wu Zhengchuan.
His tall stature, handsome face, and most importantly, the unique charisma he exudes.
Even between two big shots, he was in no way inferior.
There are even signs of surpassing it.
It's so eye-catching that it immediately catches your eye.
Everyone present was convinced that Lu Rong had won the championship.
After all, Lu Rong's sales far exceeded theirs, and many contestants from other stalls had secretly bought Lu Rong's products.
After they finished eating, they felt ashamed of themselves for not being as good as them.
The only thing they were unhappy about was that Lu Rong, a student at Kyoto University, was actually more skilled than them, who were professional chefs.
It made them feel so ashamed to face anyone.
Imagine the scale of the Kyoto Food Festival, such a grand event for the culinary world.
The winner was actually a student who was still studying and not a professional chef.
No one could accept that.
At this moment, Wu Zhengchuan and Li Shangui also had smiles on their faces. Unlike the runner-up and third place winners just now, their favor towards Lu Rong seemed to be the most special.
When I was giving awards to the other people, they all looked cold and unwilling.
But Lu Rong's situation is completely different.
Before the person even started coming up, they were already grinning from ear to ear. Now that the person was standing right next to them, the two of them unconsciously moved closer to Lu Rong.
Seeing that Lu Rong had come to his side, Wu Zhengchuan decided to take this opportunity to say something.
He didn't present the award immediately, but instead took the microphone and spoke loudly to the crowd:
"I am delighted that the competition at this Kyoto Food Festival was such a success, and it is also thanks to Lu Rong's outstanding performance."
"Here I would like to make a special announcement that I will take Lu Rong as my personal disciple and pass on all the knowledge I have acquired in my life to him."
Wu Zhengchuan's voice was clear and loud.
Everyone present heard it clearly.
After hearing what he said, the whole room erupted in uproar.
"Holy crap, did I hear that right? Old Master Wu is actually going to take Lu Rong as his personal disciple. This is an immense honor!"
"I'm so envious. I would never even dare to dream of it in my life. If I could become Master Wu's disciple, I would be willing to live 20 years less."
"He is not just a disciple, but a direct disciple. He said he would pass on all his skills to him. This is completely different from the treatment he gave to his two previous disciples. It shows how much Master Wu likes Lu Rong."
"I'm so envious, it's making me green with envy."
In fact, Wu Zhengchuan had been paying close attention to Lu Rong since the opening ceremony.
Through his detailed observation over the past few days, he discovered that Lu Rong excelled in cooking, character, and other psychological qualities.
They all perfectly met his criteria for accepting disciples, and even far exceeded his expectations.
Therefore, she grew to love Lu Rong more and more, wishing she could immediately take him as her personal disciple.
Now that he had this opportunity, he couldn't hold back any longer, so he announced it in front of so many people.
However, just as he was waiting for Lu Rong's reply.
Li Shangui quickly picked up the microphone and shouted angrily:
"Shameless old scoundrel, Lu Rong is clearly my personal disciple!"
