The judges are all top chefs from major hotels in Shanghai.
They have never really looked down on these grassroots, spontaneous cooking competitions.
Since the appearance fee is quite high, I'll just do it for show today.
They had already discussed it before they came.
The young chef at that potato pancake shop is pretty good. He won first place in the competition last year. This year, let's just go through the motions and let him retain his title.
Although that's what the judges thought, when Ye Zhongnan's stringy potato pancakes and okra potato pancakes were served, they were tempted by the magical aroma of these two potato pancakes.
The judges unanimously reached for both types of potato pancakes.
The lingering fragrance, like a beautiful melody that can resonate for three days, is so captivating that it seems to reach straight to the top of their heads.
My goodness, there is such delicious food in this world.
Many people suddenly shed tears, realizing they had been too naive, thinking that becoming a top chef at a hotel made them invincible.
It turns out that in this world, there are always mountains higher than mountains, and people more capable than people.
Moreover, these were the first potato pancakes this young man made. I originally thought his potato pancakes were already cold and would affect the taste.
But when it was served, the potato pancakes were still very hot. How did this young man manage to do that at such a young age?
The judges exchanged glances and had already made their decision.
Next up are Ye Zhongnan's two potato pancakes, which set a high bar for future generations.
All the other chefs' potato pancakes were inferior.
However, due to the tasting requirement, they had to taste every single entry, so they reluctantly tried a little of all the potato pancakes.
I held back my nausea and almost threw up.
Ye Zhongnan won the first round, Chen Xu ranked second, and the others who were in an uproar were naturally eliminated.
As they left, they all rushed toward Ye Zhongnan's control panel.
Who would have thought that this broken iron pot could cook such fresh and delicious potatoes? It's unbelievable; they underestimated their opponent after all.
Filled with resentment, they wanted to touch the iron pot.
Xu Yongfang stretched out her fried rice ladle and slapped the hands of these people hard, making them swollen. The people whose hands were slapped knew that they couldn't help but break the rules of the trade, and that the wok was so important to the chef.
Of course you can't just touch it randomly.
But they were unwilling to leave just yet and decided to stay outside and continue watching.
The second project has begun.
Make one of your best dishes.
Next comes the preparation stage.
After the judges tasted the potato pancakes, the audience was eager to try them themselves. They really wanted to eat those two varieties of potato pancakes, but unfortunately, there was no audience commentary segment.
If it really existed, so many people would want to eat it, how could they possibly get it?
Therefore, the organizers did not include any audience tasting and commentary.
At this moment, the audience was starving.
With a single gesture from Xiaoming, the neighbors on Guangda Street spontaneously began the promotional process.
Cold noodles, braised dishes, pot-boiled chicken, and various snacks were set up on small tables outside the audience area.
People in other shops were envious; what kind of crazy move is this?
Suddenly, the audience caught a whiff of something. Since the competition was in the preparation stage and there wasn't much to watch, they rushed towards the tables.
The residents of Guangda Street began to spread the word extensively.
"Come on, come on, these are the delicacies from our Guangda Street."
"You might feel cheated if you buy it, but you won't be fooled. Come and try it, or you can have it for free if you don't like it."
"Guangda Old Street products guarantee your satisfaction!"
