Chapter 1001 - A Disparity Surpassing One Yuan (2/2)

Not even the reporters could bear to continue watching.

“Their score is too low. This is probably the largest disparity ever in the history of cooking matches,” lamented a certain reporter while checking the information in his notebook.

“Yeah, what’s going on here exactly?”

“Are their dishes really that bad?”

“Or perhaps Head Chef Yuan is really that good?”

“I guess so? After all, he is the person who had defeated Tengyuan Jiayuan and the inheritor of cooked wheaten food. He is also the owner of Sichuan Cuisine’s exemplary restaurant.”

Upon realizing Yuan Zhou’s previous accomplishments, the reporter found this result acceptable. Subsequently, the reporter found this match dull as it was clear the seafood alliance would be defeated.

During the first dish, the four points they got put Chef Li in some sort of calm as he believed they would make a comeback.

During the second dish, Chef Li regretted his decision to let the head chef of Qianji Crab Restaurant to participate in this match. But the subsequent succession of two points per dish made him both curious and indignant.

“I refuse to believe that. That is not possible. How can our score be so low?” Chef Li muttered repeatedly.

“Yeah, that is completely unreasonable. I tried Chef Sun’s yellow croaker before, it’s very good. Chef Lin’s Salad Sea Snail is remarkable as well. How are those dishes worth zero points?” said Ao Pi indignantly.

“Indeed, he is not as simple as he looks,” said Head Chef Zuo with a helpless smile when he saw that his worries had came true.

Nevertheless, the grading for the sixth dish was still going to start.

This time, they started grading the seafood alliance’s Flaming Squid.

This time, the judges actually raised four signboards for their dish, causing Liu Jie who had already turned his head away to quickly focus on the judges again.

“Four points, seafood alliance’s Flaming Squid had obtained four points,” said the host, reassuring Liu Jie that he was not hallucinating.

Perhaps it was due to the consecutive two points they had obtained, but for some reason, Liu Jie felt like even four points was a high score.

But that was no misconception. Rather, that was the truth. Ever since the first dish, this was the second four points the seafood alliance had obtained.

As usual, Yuan Zhou obtained yet another full score. By this point, Chef Li was already gnashing his teeth with an unsightly expression on his face.

As for Ao Pi, he did not have the time to question the results as his dish was next.

The host announced the names of the two dishes and invited the judges to grade the dishes.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Four signboards were raised, causing Ao Pi and Head Chef Zuo to heave a sigh of relief.

“The final dish of the seafood alliance, Rolling Crab Dumpling has obtained four points,” said the host.

The seafood alliance people did not realize that rather than getting such a score against Yuan Zhou, the zero point something Yuan they were rated online was already a better score. The ratio of their points was already lower than the gap online.

Even so, Ao Pi and Head Chef Zuo were still rejoicing in the fact that they did not obtain two points.

Before they could even stop rejoicing, Yuan Zhou’s score was announced.

“Head Chef Yuan’s final dish, Big Crabs, has obtained the maximum score, 10 points. Thank you, judges. Now, we shall start calculating the final score and will be announcing it shortly,” said the host. At this point, he was already numb to Yuan Zhou’s victory.

After all, Yuan Zhou had never gotten anything other than 10 points.

Just as the host was about to take a five minutes break, Chef Li stepped forward and stood at the center of the room.

“I do not accept this! I do not accept this result!” Chef Li said as he glared at Yuan Zhou before looking at the judges resolutely.
