On one side of the chef competition venue is a special judges' seat. Because there is only one judge for this final competition, there is only one seat on the judges' seat.
Originally, this seat was supposed to be occupied by Lian Hong, the judge of this event. However, after Mr. Han arrived, he sat down on that seat without any hesitation. Lian Hong could only stand aside obediently, without any complaint on his face. He bent down with a flattering smile and said something to Mr. Han.
Old Han had a cold attitude. This old man usually behaved like this, as if he was unhappy with everyone. However, when he saw Ye Chui sitting in the seat, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He ignored what Lian Hong said and turned to talk to Han Yuyan. Han Yuyan immediately ran over with a smile and said to Ye Chui, "Master, my grandfather asked you to come over."
"Uh?" Ye Chui was a little stunned, "This kind of occasion is not very good."
"What's the matter? Let's go." Han Yuyan said as he pulled Ye Chui's arm and dragged him up. Ye Chui had no choice but to say a few words to Lin Wei, Anjing, Wang Shiyu and Dong Youyou, then followed Han Yuyan to the judges' seat.
At this point he was calm enough - not to mention that everyone in the venue was looking at him. He had experienced countless similar situations in his previous life, so he was not at all nervous.
When he arrived in front of Mr. Han, Ye Chui greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Han, I didn't expect you to come here."
"Hehe, this kind of cooking competition is what I'm most interested in. Of course I have to join in the fun." Old Han said with a smile.
Lian Hong, who was standing next to him, thought a little unnaturally that Old Han did like to join in the fun, but his status was too high, and a five-star level competition would not be able to attract him. What interested him was at least seven-star level...
Then Lian Hong looked at Ye Chui in surprise, wondering who this young man was and why Old Han treated him like this and even called him to the judges' seat. Old Han's smiling face was completely different from his previous indifferent expression.
Ye Chui smiled and continued to ask: "Mr. Han, how are you doing recently?"
"Of course. I'm still waiting to eat the delicious food you cook again." Old Han said with a smile.
Hearing what Mr. Han said, Lian Hong began to speculate again: How could Mr. Han say such a thing? How could a young man like him cook such a good dish? This must be Mr. Han's polite words.
"Come, stand next to me." Old Han personally took Ye Chui's hand and pulled him to his other side - directly pushing Lian Hong away, "Ting Yuyan said that one of the contestants in this competition is your eldest disciple, and his dish is good because you taught him personally. I am looking forward to it."
Ye Chui didn't expect that Mr. Han would actually pull him to his side. He glanced at Lian Hong, who looked unhappy, and thought of something, and asked Mr. Han: "Mr. Han, could it be that the judges of this competition are..."
Just as I said this, the host of the chef competition spoke through the microphone: "Now I want to tell you a good news. We originally planned to have Mr. Lian Honglian as the judge of this chef competition, but two hours before the competition, a distinguished guest suddenly visited here. After negotiation, we decided to give the judging rights of this competition to this distinguished guest. This guest is Mr. Han Xi standing behind me. I believe everyone knows Mr. Han's name. Please welcome Mr. Han with warm applause."
After these words were spoken, the audience around them immediately applauded, and the atmosphere was very lively.
No matter what, Mr. Han is a world-renowned gourmet. In terms of fame, I don’t know how much greater he is than Lian Hong.
Frankly speaking, it was a blessing for Lian Hong to be the final judge of the five-star competition. And it was a blessing for this competition that Han Lao was the judge of this competition. In the past, Han Lao was the judge of competitions above seven stars.
It was also for this reason that when Mr. Han proposed to serve as a judge for this competition, the organizer agreed without hesitation. As for Lian Hong's opinion... no one paid any attention to it!
All eyes in the audience were focused on the judges' seats.
Old Han regained his unhappy expression and stood up, waving casually.
Ye Chui and Han Yuyan, who stood on the left and right of Han Lao, also received a lot of attention. Many people were speculating about their origins. Standing next to Han Lao, they looked like a perfect match. Their origins must be extraordinary...
An Jing and Wang Shiyu, who were sitting in the audience, looked extremely proud. Dong Youyou opened her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect that Ye Chui and Han Yuyan had such a powerful backing. As for Lin Wei, this girl was already puffing her mouth in displeasure. Her boyfriend was in the spotlight with another girl, and standing next to Old Han, they looked like a perfect match. How could she be happy
Amidst warm applause, the four contestants came out of the lounge.
The four of them were stunned when they heard the applause. Zhao Deguang subconsciously thought that the applause was for him. He even straightened the collar of his white chef's uniform, revealing a very proud expression. Then he realized that the applause was not for him at all, but for Mr. Han sitting on the judges' panel. The expression on his face changed instantly.
"Han... Mr. Han? Why is he here? Isn't Lian Hong the judge of this competition?"
A staff member nearby heard what Zhao Deguang said, so he smiled and said to him: "Originally, Teacher Lian was the judge, but not long ago, Mr. Han suddenly visited here for some reason and replaced Teacher Lian as the judge of this competition."
"This... this..." Zhao Deguang's previous pride disappeared in an instant, and he was stunned. However, this was not the biggest blow to him. The biggest blow was that he saw Ye Chui standing next to Old Han. Zhao Deguang's face twitched, and he continued to ask the staff member, "Why is that boy standing next to Old Han?"
The staff member looked puzzled: "I don't know either. It was Elder Han who personally called Ye Chui to the stage, and he seemed to be very familiar with this young man..."
Zhao Deguang: “…”
At this time, the conversation between Dong Qian and Tian Xiaodu reached Zhao Deguang's ears again -
"Hey, what's going on? Your master also knows Mr. Han?" Dong Qian asked Tian Xiaodu in a low voice with a look of surprise.
Tian Xiaodu smiled proudly: "More than knowing each other, Da Yu is actually Mr. Han's most precious granddaughter."
"What?" Dong Qian was even more surprised. "Dayu is actually Mr. Han's granddaughter?"
She was a little confused. When she first met Han Yuyan's sister, she only felt that she was a cold and aloof sister, giving her a very cold and beautiful feeling. But after getting to know her, she showed her funny temperament. It can be seen that she should be from a big family. But she didn't expect that her origin was so extraordinary. She was actually the granddaughter of Old Han...
Then Dong Qian thought of something else: "Wait a minute... If Da Yu is Mr. Han's granddaughter, how could she become Ye Chui's apprentice? If she wants to learn to be a chef, can't Mr. Han find a good chef for her?"
"This is because Old Han shamelessly begged the master to accept her as a disciple." Tian Xiaodu said complacently - when Old Han handed Han Yuyan over to Ye Chui, it did feel like he was taking advantage of his seniority and being shameless, so it was not an exaggeration for Tian Xiaodu to say so.
Dong Qian felt that her IQ was not enough, not to mention Zhao Deguang and Qin Yiyue who heard their conversation. How could a big shot like Han Lao beg Ye Chui? This... This is simply too crazy!
"Why?" Qin Yiyue asked in surprise. This young man, Ye Chui, had already given him many surprises, but now he was still surprised.
Tian Xiaodu glanced at Qin Yiyue, his expression even more proud: "Of course it's because Mr. Han likes Master's cooking. A few months ago, he ate the dishes Master made, and ended up being hospitalized because they were so delicious... You can check it online later, and you should be able to find relevant news. However, because Master was not famous at the time, the media wrote that I was the chef of that meal. In fact, it was all Master's credit."
Dong Qian: “…”
Qin Yiyue: “…”
Zhao Deguang: “…”
After being surprised, Zhao Deguang suddenly thought of something and his face turned grim. "How can this be, Master Tian? Your master has such a close relationship with Mr. Han, and your junior sister is Mr. Han's granddaughter. How can this competition be fair? No, I must question Mr. Han's role as a judge. How can he be a judge for this competition?"
Hearing what Zhao Deguang said, Tian Xiaodu and Dong Qian's faces turned very bad. They had long suspected that Zhao Deguang had secretly colluded with Lian Hong, but now he dared to talk about fairness in a righteous manner
Although Tian Xiaodu has a kind personality, he is not completely without temper. He snorted coldly and said, "Zhao Deguang, do you think everyone is like you? Even if I have this relationship with Mr. Han, do you think that given Mr. Han's reputation and character, he would be partial to me and commit fraud?"
Zhao Deguang said stubbornly: "It's hard to say..."
"Then if you have the guts, go and give Mr. Han your advice in person!" Tian Xiaodu sneered, "Just see if Mr. Han will pay attention to you."
"..." Zhao Deguang was speechless. Mr. Han was famous for his bad temper. No one could change what he had decided. Since he was going to be a judge of the chef this time, anyone who dared to say no would be slapped in the face.
Moreover, given Mr. Han's character, it is unlikely that he would do anything to benefit from personal gain or engage in corruption.
Zhao Deguang's expression changed, but he finally gave up the idea of raising an opinion. He thought to himself that colluding with the judges was just a precaution. He had indeed put in a lot of hard work for this braised fish bone dish, and his true level was not necessarily worse than the other three...
Although he thought so, when he stood in front of the stove, Zhao Deguang still showed great lack of confidence...
With the host's announcement, the chef competition officially began. (~^~)
