Gourmet Beast Tamer

Looking at the current player rating rankings displayed on another electronic screen next to the big screen, the gap between himself and all the players behind him, Zhu Ming's face showed a bit of pride.

As a new generation of a well-known family of Yuling chefs, she should be the best among the Yuling chefs at her level.

"Thank you, judges!"

After politely bowing to the thirty senior judges on the judging panel, Zhu Ming left the stage with a smile on her face and sat in the spectator seats specially prepared for the contestants.

The review had been completed before her, and other contestants sitting in the spectator seats cast fearful glances, but Zhu Ming ignored all these looks and raised her head like a proud swan.

After Zhu Ming, new players appeared one after another, but their scores were not enough to threaten Zhu Ming, which made Zhu Ming more and more calm.

"Ding--"

Another bell rang, and the kitchen door belonging to Tang Xie opened.

Tang Xie walked out with a sullen face and immediately turned his attention to the electronic screen recording the current player rankings.

Not seeing the name he wanted to see, disappointment flashed across Tang Xie's eyes.

Isn't Qin Lang finished yet?

In this case, let him take the lead this time!

Then, his eyes fell on Zhu Ming's name.

Not too familiar, my surname is Zhu...

Could it be from the Zhu family?

Forget it, it's not important.

Although the score of 91.2 is very high, Tang Xie is confident of getting a higher score when he thinks about the dish he prepared today.

Taking a deep breath, he quickly arrived at the judging table while pushing the kitchen cabinet cart.

"Hello fellow judges."

Tang Xie adjusted his expression and voice to the best state, and then slowly spoke in a slow and unhurried tone, "The dish I prepared today is called Acacia. Please allow me to present it to all the judges."

After saying that, he slowly opened the door of the kitchen cabinet cart and delivered each exquisite dish still shrouded in mist to the judges present.

In close-up shots, the audience in the arena saw all the details of the dish for the first time.

For a time, exclamations came one after another.

Acacia is a dish with extremely exquisite appearance.

It cuts various vegetables into extremely fine threads and weaves them into a beautiful bird's nest, and then carves two lifelike mandarin ducks, a male and a female, out of the vegetables in the bird's nest.

Silk is a homophonic word for thinking.

This dish not only has an exquisite appearance, but also has a beautiful meaning.

If the taste is good, then this dish will get high marks, which is almost certain.

Zhu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly in the players' spectator seats, and he couldn't help but sit up straight.

This dish made her feel threatened.

As the judges' tasting began, Tang Xie's introduction echoed throughout the Dongxia Arena.

He kept his tone soft and even, but his eyes shone with confidence.

This time's lovesickness is not like the last one.

Not only does it look amazing, it definitely tastes good too.

"Let us congratulate Tang Xie's players with warm applause!"

After the tasting session ended, the host's voice was somewhat passionate, taking over the dish introduction just finished by Shang Tang Xie, echoing over the Dongxia Arena.

"Removing the highest score and the lowest score, the final score of the Tang Xie players is..."

The host's voice was a bit longer as usual.

Tang Xie couldn't help but clenched his fists.

He wanted to know how he scored.

In the field, there were many equally nervous spectators.

This tense atmosphere lasted until the host stopped being pretentious and simply reported Tang Xie's score.

"92.4 points!"

Stable!

A look of joy quickly appeared on Tang Xie's face.

He didn't believe that Qin Lang could make dishes with a higher score than this!

Zhu Ming, who was in the audience seat, watched helplessly as the new name appeared on the electronic screen pressed over his head. His eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Tang Xie who was walking towards Shi Shiran, with fighting spirit rising in his eyes.

hateful!

Tang Xie didn't notice the resentment of a certain girl in the players' viewing area. He found an empty seat and sat down, looking intensely at the kitchen where Qin Lang was.

He was looking forward to Qin Lang's performance.

The game time passed by one minute and one second.

One contestant after another came out of the kitchen, but unfortunately no more scores than 90 points appeared.

In the end, only the two contestants Qin Lang and Reike were left with the kitchen door still closed.

"Hey, they are all vegetarian dishes. They are really..."

After submitting the scores of the twenty-fourth contestant, a fat man at the judging table couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

The microphone was never turned on, and his voice could only be heard by other judges sitting nearby.

The judge's name is Zhang Hua. It can be seen from his figure that he must like to eat meat.

And that's exactly what happened.

Judge Zhang Hua eats a lot of meat dishes every meal on weekdays, and he doesn't like vegetarian dishes.

But it was his duty, and now he had to eat.

Twenty-four vegetarian dishes were served in a row. Even though each dish was not too heavy, and two were quite amazing, overall it was still not a friendly experience.

If it weren't for the fear of being caught by the camera, his depression would almost be written on his face.

"Who says it isn't?"

The other judge sitting not far from Zhang Hua still had a warm expression, but the voice coming from the buzzing lips was just as depressed as Zhang Hua.

"Can you exclude the vegetarian theme from the judging competition next time?"

"That's it for the food fight and the 1v1 match. I just need to try a couple of them."

"It's really embarrassing to have such a subject in the scoring competition."

The reviewer’s complaint was echoed by many reviewers.

“I got ‘Sweet’ in the last scoring competition, and I felt like I was in jail the whole time.” A judge who doesn’t like sweets couldn’t help complaining.

"What are you talking about? There was an abstract theme of 'hot' in a scoring competition the year before last. I felt like I was being tortured!" Another judge couldn't help but have a hint of fear on his face.

This judge couldn't eat anything that was too spicy, and almost all the contestants in that scoring competition interpreted hot as high spiciness.

Well...there's only one female contestant who doesn't interpret hot to mean spicy.

She came on stage wearing a hot chef outfit, which drew boos from the audience.

"Cooking competitions in other cities seem to have already eliminated this type of subject in the scoring competition. We in Dongxia City must do the same as soon as possible." Another judge agreed.

"Ding--"

Another bell rang at this moment.

"Okay, there are new players coming out, focus on your work." The most prestigious senior judge in the field said in a deep voice.

So the other judges stopped discussing this issue and all looked at the twenty-fifth Yuling Chef who was pushing the cart.

In the spectator seats of the players, Zhu Ming, who had been paying attention to Tang Xie's rival from time to time, suddenly noticed that Tang Xie, who had been holding his head and was about to fall asleep, suddenly sat up straight at this moment and looked towards the field with a burning fighting spirit in his eyes. .

"The one walking out of the kitchen right now is our contestant Qin Lang!"

“Let’s look forward to the dishes he brings!”
