Unlike before, because most of the contestants were eliminated, leaving only Lu Rong, Chen Lanxin, and Yuan Hua, there was only one bus this time.
Of course, because it is the final day of the finals, the level of attention today is unprecedented.
Even before it started, tens of millions of people were already waiting in front of their screens, eagerly anticipating the official start of the competition.
Unlike previous competitions, the top three this year have a good relationship. Although the finals are today, they don't seem to care much and are chatting and laughing.
Having already experienced several days like this, Lu Rong and Su Tingyun were very familiar with the entire program's procedures.
Like a seasoned pro, I arrived at the bus just one or two minutes before nine o'clock. Since it was the last day of the competition, the filming started right from the bus.
As soon as they arrived, they saw two or three photographers snapping pictures of them. After several days of competition and getting used to it, they were no longer surprised by the cameras.
Meanwhile, Yuan Hua and Shen Lanxin had already arrived.
As for Shen Lanxin, that's not surprising, but for Yuan Hua, it's like the sun rising in the west.
In the past, he was always the last to arrive, but now that mobile games have stopped influencing him, he's like a normal person again.
After several days of filming, everyone has gotten to know the contestants better and better, and they are all excitedly discussing who will win the championship today.
"No need to think, it's definitely Lu Rong. He's been in first place every day. If he doesn't get it, who will?"
"To be honest, it's most likely Lu Rong, but not necessarily. There's always an exception. What if they didn't show their true strength before?"
"Indeed, and even with his strength, it doesn't mean Lu Rong won't make mistakes. In such a high-level competition, even the slightest mistake could have a significant impact on the outcome."
"Anyway, I'm on Lu Rong's side. Isn't his performance these past few days enough to show his consistency? He's had the highest score for several days in a row."
"That's undeniable, he's incredibly talented. His performance is consistently at its peak every day. I never imagined he could be this good. If I hadn't been watching TV every day, I wouldn't have believed it."
"Speaking of stability, Su Tingyun and Yuan Hua are also good, and they seem to be improving every day. Their scores were around 98 or 99 before, but now they are around 99.5. It is inevitable that they will surpass Lu Rong today."
"It felt like the three of them were evenly matched, and they were all improving. It was really exciting to watch. The most important thing is that the three of them have such a good relationship."
"Yes, the difference from previous competitions is huge. In the past, it was all about scheming and backstabbing, and everyone wanted to crush each other. But with Lu Rong and his team, not only is their skill level higher, but their interpersonal skills and morals are also much better than those of the previous contestants. Anyway, I'm a big fan of theirs now."
"Look, they're still chatting and laughing, you can't tell at all. We'll pick the top three from among them later. Even TV dramas wouldn't dare to film something like this."
"These people are really amazing. They have raised the bar for Chinese culinary techniques time and time again. Look, the judges have all gained a lot of weight recently."
"Not to mention the judges, even I, who watches in front of the screen every day, have gained a lot of weight. Every time I see them making such delicious food, I can't help but order takeout. Although it can't compare to what they make, it's still food."
"Yesterday I tried to cook saury using Lu Rong's method. I felt like I did everything right, but the taste was just so-so."
“Many times you can’t tell from watching videos. It seems like everyone does it similarly, but the differences in various details can make a big difference in the taste of the finished product.”
"Indeed, you can't learn someone's genius technique just by looking at them for a moment. Cooking itself requires a very high level of skill in controlling the heat and matching various seasonings. Even if you follow the same steps and use the same ingredients, the result and taste may be completely different."
"Absolutely! The same ingredients can taste vastly different when cooked by different chefs, so cooking itself is primarily about skill level."
"Anyway, I'll never be able to cook anything delicious in my life. I can only work hard to make money and try to have the chance to eat a meal made by these culinary geniuses."
…………
Because today is the last day of the competition, the finals, the audience's enthusiasm is extremely high.
Of course, Lu Rong and the others didn't really know all this, because they weren't watching the live stream and therefore didn't know what was going on in the live stream.
Upon entering the bus, they found Wu Zhengchuan and Li Shangui already waiting inside.
Li Shangui was overjoyed to see Lu Rong and the others.
After all, Lu Rong has now become their darling. In their eyes, Lu Rong is a key figure in the rise of Chinese culinary arts to the world's pinnacle.
At first, I had a little hope, but now it's completely certain that Lu Rong will have a major impact on the world of gastronomy.
The dishes he had prepared over the past few days had exceeded their expectations. As a referee, he had naturally eaten Lu Rong's cooking for several days in a row, and every dish was amazing, truly a masterpiece.
Even Wu Zhengchuan, the host, was no exception. Despite being a host, whenever it was Lu Rong's turn to taste the dishes, he would try to get some for himself. After all, Lu Rong's dishes were so delicious that even he, a nationally renowned chef, couldn't resist.
