Chapter 142 A decisive victory, making him famous throughout Heshun Town
The onlookers were in for a treat, and they never expected it to happen so quickly!
A steady stream of instant noodles was delivered to the audience, with a few lucky individuals who were nearby even getting priority access to taste the noodles.
When a heavy, full bucket of instant noodles was handed to them, the men couldn't believe it—it really was a whole bucket for each of them!
I thought I'd be lucky to get even a bite, but who knew that incredibly beautiful girl would be so generous, treating us ordinary folks like us to the same level as the tasting team.
What a noble young lady!
No wonder she's so beautiful, and it's also no wonder she cooks so quickly and well!
Such a beautiful, kind, and generous girl, if she doesn't get first place, who will?
You can't be indebted to someone who eats your food, especially when it's such a big bucket of incredibly delicious instant noodles.
"delicious!"
"too delicious!"
"I have never eaten such delicious noodles!"
"It's so spicy! But it's so delicious that I can't stop eating it!"
"So this is the legendary celestial food..."
……
Such endless praises filled the entire noodle-eating process. Everyone felt as if their souls had left their bodies, their thoughts wandering as they ate, and some even drifted off into a daze...
I couldn't stop thinking wildly in my mind, I definitely had to vote for this girl later!
People who haven't tasted instant noodles yet are getting impatient. The aroma of instant noodles is so strong that they've been smelling it for ages, and their mouths are practically watering!
Whenever a waiter brings over a bucket of noodles, shouts of "Give me some!", "Give me some first!", "Look at me!" and other similar cries of people vying for noodles erupt from the crowd.
The servant, with a cold face, looked around and gave the food to those who didn't make a fuss first. Only then did everyone quiet down and wait obediently.
However, they also noticed that the noodles were being delivered here non-stop, so it seemed that everyone had a share!
Well, I guess I'll just have to wait. When it's my turn to eat, I'll make those who've already finished drool!
Meanwhile, in the competition area, the chefs representing their restaurants in the front row were confidently and normally showcasing their signature dishes.
The chefs who were initially considered the favorites to win the championship all came from the major restaurants in Heshun Town.
Among the contestants, Wangyue Restaurant, Qingfeng Restaurant, and Lao Hu Ji Restaurant have the most renowned reputations and are the top three choices for guessing the winner. As for who will win the championship, it is still hard to say.
The chefs from the three restaurants also reached a private agreement not to follow the theme of the competition, but to bring out their signature dishes to compete.
In their eyes, the few scattered votes held by ordinary people are not important at all; what matters is who can attract more votes from the judging panel.
These three head chefs have all been cooking for decades, and they actually have a pretty good relationship in private, often exchanging culinary tips and tricks.
None of them were cunning or deceitful; they all relied on their true abilities.
So they agreed that each person would submit two signature dishes for the competition, and they would only compete for the votes of the professional judges. They would not prepare more for the general public, as this would be fairer to them.
Moreover, the competition only lasts for half an hour. Even experienced chefs like them can only cook a few dozen dishes within the time limit, so it's impossible for them to take care of so many onlookers.
Therefore, in their view, the so-called public participation in the vote was just a gimmick, and the final voting power would definitely be in the hands of the ten judges.
The competition began, and they confidently heated the oil in the wok, then added the prepared ingredients and started stir-frying...
This is only the first step, and other contestants have already started serving food?
All three of them sneered inwardly. Ha, I wonder which young punk is trying to take a shortcut, planning to use simple cold dishes to try and get ahead of the game?
It's laughable that they could make anything delicious in such a short time; it's just a waste of the tasting team's time.
When they glanced at the food being served to the tasting table and saw that it was nothing more than buckets of simple, unpretentious food, they paid even less attention to it.
The three remained completely unaffected by what they considered to be the behavior of clowns, and continued to cook their respective signature dishes at their own pace.
But before long, the three of them gradually realized that things seemed to be getting a little strange...
Why are all the people in the front row of tasting seats so engrossed in eating, not saying a word?
They were slurping away, eating until their noses were bubbling, and they still wouldn't stop.
If we eat any more, we'll all be full!
At this moment, the contestants below were completely focused on cooking on stage, occasionally looking up to see the tasting panel's reaction to eating the noodles.
Even after all ten buckets of noodles were emptied, the tasters on stage still looked like they wanted more...
What exactly is in these buckets?
How could they possibly keep all these worldly, grown men so full of food?
And that wasn't all; buckets of noodles were then taken to the onlookers.
The repeated "delicious!" from those who tasted it felt like needles pricking their ears...
The other contestants were so frustrated that their Daoist resolve completely collapsed!
How can they possibly concentrate on cooking? Everyone has already eaten a whole bucket of noodles and is almost full. By the time they finish cooking, who will be able to eat anything?
Sure enough, those dishes that were served a little faster were able to get the tasting team to take a few bites.
Those dishes that took a long time to cook were simply stared at by the tasting panel after they were served, without anyone touching them...
At most, they would dip their chopsticks in the soup, savor the taste, and then put the food down again.
When the chefs brought out those hearty platters of meat dishes to the front of the table, Liu Shangshan and the others frowned. Their stomachs were so full that they couldn't help but feel like vomiting at the sight of all that meat...
He had no choice but to suppress the acid reflux in his mouth and quickly ordered someone to bring the dishes down so that the people could taste them.
It's all my fault for not being able to resist and finishing the whole bucket of noodles. Now I can't eat anything at all. Sigh.
To the chefs' astonishment, these elaborate dishes, which were usually so popular that ordinary people couldn't get their hands on, were being offered for free today, yet they were met with indifference.
Many people are already quite full after finishing a bowl of instant noodles, and after trying a few other dishes, they are completely unable to eat anymore.
Some people, in order not to ruin the perfect taste after eating instant noodles, refuse to try any other dishes; they want to savor the aroma of the instant noodles slowly.
As a result, the dishes that were finally served were completely ignored...
The winner of this culinary competition undoubtedly fell to Bai Mengran, with seven out of ten judges voting for her.
Several others, having established personal relationships with restaurants, unscrupulously voted for other chefs.
Because of the manpower, the people got to eat a bucket of instant noodles. This time, the number of votes issued to the people was as high as 605, which means that everyone got a vote.
Without a doubt, almost all the votes went to Bai Mengran, and she ultimately won by a landslide with more than 600 votes!
The instant noodles from the food truck also became an instant hit!
