Man Qing and Xia Tian walked to the stage together. Man Qing first said, "Xia Tian, ??how do you feel about today's cooking competition?"
Xia Tian smiled slightly and said, "I feel that today's game is more exciting than the previous games. The Bajie Chinese Network contestants are also more dedicated. They face their opponents directly, which is also a big challenge for them. Several Each contestant performed very well and presented famous dishes in front of us. Although I did not taste the taste of these dishes, judging from the expressions of the experts, the taste should be quite outstanding!"
"I think so, but this competition is a knockout. Although we all hope that outstanding players can continue to stay on the stage, we have to make a choice." Manqing said.
"Yes, it is a difficult choice for our jury to make such a choice!" Xia Tian nodded.
Manqing continued, "Now, let's ask our contestants to enter their respective positions. In front of them is their star bucket. Whoever can collect more stars in the star bucket will advance to the next round. Before the judges, Before making a decision, let¡¯s first listen to the comments of several contestants from our panel of judges.¡±
The expert group has gathered their opinions together. Man Chengde is the leader of the expert review this time, so he will naturally announce the comments.
Man Chengde looked around the four contestants and nodded slightly, "First of all, I would like to thank the contestants for giving us a very wonderful cooking show. Each contestant tried their best and fully demonstrated their cooking skills. In front of the audience. They are all elites in the culinary world, and their level of cooking represents the level of Qiantang¡¯s culinary community to a certain extent. Each contestant takes this competition extremely seriously. Every member of our jury Every member faces an extremely difficult choice today because the gap between the players is so slim."
"Next, on behalf of the expert judging panel, I will comment on the cooking skills of several contestants. I will comment on the order in which we tasted the dishes. The first is contestant No. 8. This contestant once again gave us a huge surprise. He again Using his golden fingers to cook a seemingly ordinary dish to perfection, we understand that Qiantang's famous dishes, any dish tastes unimaginably delicious when it is cooked to perfection."
Man Chengde paused and continued, "This fish head soup looks very ordinary. The contestants did not show anything exciting during the cooking process, and the appearance of the dish is also very ordinary, but it is just such a dish. The dishes gave us an unparalleled taste feast. All the review experts expressed it in the simplest language, that is, it is really delicious!"
Man Chengde¡¯s comments about Jiangbian surprised the audience. No one expected that this least favored dish could get such a high evaluation. But the results haven't come out yet. Although I am a little confused about this evaluation, I continue to listen calmly to Man Chengde's comments.
"Next. Contestant No. 23's 'Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix'. The entire cooking process allowed all the audience to appreciate a wonderful cooking process. Contestant No. 23's cooking was like an artistic creation. He carefully portrayed a very special character. Exquisite works of art. It fully embodies the color, fragrance and quality of cooking. Every bird you see in this 'Hundred Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix' is lifelike. It is simply an art sculpture. From these aspects, we can see Show how superb Contestant No. 23¡¯s cooking skills are!¡±
Man Chengde took a sip of water, "In addition, let's look at the flavor, No. 23's 'Hundred Birds Chao Feng'. The meat of the chicken is tender and smooth, revealing a rich and refreshing aroma. It can be seen that this player is also very good at controlling the taste. Very well done.¡±
Man Chengde then commented on Wu Jianhua and Fang Junyi. Throughout the process, he only commented on the contestants¡¯ cooking itself without comparing any contestants at all, so as not to affect the final judgment of the jury members with his own opinions.
"Thanks to the review experts for their wonderful comments, now comes the most exciting time. Each member of our expert review team and each member of the public review team will give our contestants their own star. Their decision will be final. Players stay or leave!" Manqing said.
Xia Tian continued, "The first is the duel between contestant No. 8 and contestant No. 23. Please vote the stars in your hands into the stars in front of the contestant of your choice."
The members of the review team walked to the stage one by one. The first was a review expert. He voted the first star to Jiangbian, making Jiangbian take the lead.
"The first judge voted for Jiangbian, and Jiangbian temporarily led 1:0!" Manqing said.
"The next step is to throw it out of your hand."The stars are the members of the public jury. Let's see which one of the two players he will choose? " Man Qing said.
The public judge quickly ran to the riverside and whispered, "The food you cook tastes so wonderful. I didn't expect you to have such good cooking skills at such a young age. I'm optimistic about you, and you are my favorite." The winner!"
Cheng Feizhou was a little embarrassed. He threw stars at his opponent two times in a row, which made him feel ashamed.
"Contestant No. 8 is already 2 stars ahead! Does our contestant No. 23 want to tell our jury? Can you please vote!" Xia Tian said, after all, this is not a simple cooking show, but also an entertainment, so it is allowed Contestants canvass votes during the voting process.
Cheng Feizhou took the microphone, "My opponent is very young and has excellent cooking skills! But what I want to say is that I will try my best to show my strength. I attach great importance to this cooking competition, not In order to be able to win the championship in the end, but because I can make many friends who love cooking in the cooking competition. This time, even if I fail, I will not be discouraged, but I still hope that my friends can support me! Thank you !¡±
Cheng Feizhou¡¯s canvassing for votes was immediately effective. The jury¡¯s third and fourth votes all went to Cheng Feizhou, putting the two people on the same starting line again.
Xia Tian said to Jiangbian again, "The two parties are back on the same starting line. Does our No. 8 contestant also have something to say to the jury?"
Xia Tian wanted Jiangbian to canvass for votes, but Jiangbian shook his head. Rejected Xia Tian's kindness.
Xia Tian is a little puzzled. I thought Jiang Bian was a little reserved, but he didn't try to persuade her again, "It seems that our No. 8 contestant is full of confidence. Well, let's continue with the next round of voting."
I don¡¯t know if it was because of Jiang Bian¡¯s attitude of refusing to solicit votes that some members of the jury thought he was too arrogant or for other reasons. In short, four consecutive members of the jury cast stars into the stars in front of Cheng Feizhou.
"Contestant No. 23 came from behind, quickly overtook the score, and led with a 4-star advantage. However, contestant No. 8 still has no intention of canvassing votes. We will continue to see how the subsequent judges choose." Manqing said.
A girl who looked a little fat came out. She strode up to Jiang Bian, hugged Jiang Bian, and said loudly, "I support you! The fish head soup you made is the most delicious fish I have ever eaten. You should move on. Finally, Win the cooking competition!"
Jiang Bian was stunned this time and didn¡¯t know how to react for a long time. After the fat girl walked away, Jiang Bian regained his breath and thought to himself. "The people in the city are so fierce!"
It seems that the popularity this fat girl brought to Jiangbian, or perhaps her sympathy for the weak, Jiangbian won 5 votes in a row, not only recovering the score. Instead, they took the lead again with a slight advantage of one point.
This trend did not change the direction because of Jiangbian's lead. The following jury members continued to cast stars into the starry sky by the riverside one after another, and only a few stars were thrown into the starry sky that formed the flying boat.
The two hosts stood up at a critical moment, because it was the final moment. As long as Jiangbian got one more star, he would be able to surpass the score, making the subsequent voting without any suspense.
"There are still five votes left. Player No. 8 is already ahead by 4 votes. If the next vote continues to be cast for Player No. 8, it will mean that Player No. 8 wins this PK match. Take a look. Contestant No. 23, Master Cheng, does he have anything else to say to the judges who still have stars in their hands?" Xia Tian once again gave Cheng Feizhou a chance to canvass votes.
Jiangbian gave up canvassing votes in front of him, and Cheng Feizhou was naturally embarrassed to canvass votes again this time. Therefore, Cheng Feizhou hesitated for a while and shook his head firmly.
"Since everyone is not planning to canvass for votes, this reviewer will have to think carefully and think that your star will directly determine the final result of this cooking competition. Tell everyone, what is your choice?" Xia Tian will The microphone was pointed at the public judge who was about to appear. He was a university student.
He did not speak, but walked forward directly with the star in his hand, and stopped in front of the river. "My answer is that Master Jiang should be the winner of this cooking competition!" After saying that, he put the star in his hand. Entering the stars in front of the river.
The selection of the next four review members has nothing to do with the overall situation, so the last four review members went out together, but they still voted the last four stars for Jiangbian.
The judge member who cast the crucial vote was about to step down, but Manqing stopped him, "Can you tell me the reason why you just chose to give the most crucial vote to contestant No. 8?"
"This is nothing! As judges, we should be fair and consistent. The differences between the two contestantsThey are all very outstanding, but in terms of flavor, No. 8 has a very clear advantage. It can be said that his dish is unprecedented among the dishes I have ever tasted. To be honest, player No. 23 is really outstanding, but it is a pity that he met No. 8. This is why some people in the public review voted for No. 23, just to show their approval for him. That 'Hundred Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix' is really good too. But compared to ¡®fish head soup¡¯, it lacks that sense of surprise! "The public judge unabashedly admired Jiang Bian, and at the same time expressed his regret for Cheng Feizhou.
"Okay! Player No. 8 finally won this contest." Man Qing was about to announce the start of another PK, but an audience member shouted loudly in the audience.
"That's not fair!" An old man stood up. It was the same old man who questioned Jiangbian's cooking skills at the beginning.
Everyone was a little confused, surprised that this man would be so angry.
"Mr., do you have any questions?" Man Qing stepped forward and asked.
"I think this competition is unfair. We the audience can see clearly that Contestant No. 23's cooking skills are obviously better, while Contestant No. 8's skills are mediocre. Why did Contestant No. 8 win the competition in the end? I said you judges are Isn't it too biased? At the level of No. 8, it is already very surprising to be able to enter the finals. To be able to qualify first in the group and then immediately enter the top 16, I think this is simply a joke!" said the old man.
Man Chengde also walked over and said, "Old comrade, I think you have indeed misunderstood. Although our cooking competition also pays attention to the performance of the contestants in all aspects of cooking, the most important thing is to see what the contestants produce. The performance of the dishes in terms of color, aroma and quality. Although Contestant No. 8¡¯s performance is not eye-catching, the taste of the dishes he made is indeed unparalleled. On this point, all members of the jury have the same opinion.¡±
"I don't believe it. That's because you all came together to control the entire game process and manipulate the game!" the old man said.
Man Chengde was not in a hurry and said, "Then tell me, how can you be convinced?"
"I want to taste the food too!" the old man said.
The audience requested to come on stage to taste the food. This was obviously something that the judging panel did not expect during the preliminary selection. However, after a short discussion, Man Chengde agreed to the audience's request.
¡°One thing to note is that our review expert group and the public review experts all carry out the review work based on the principle of openness and fairness. We all come together because of interest. There is no reward for being a review expert, just because we like it. This." Man Chengde looked a little gloomy, paused, and then said, "Since the audience has misunderstandings, then we will increase the intensity of disclosure. The audience at the scene can participate. However, for the smooth progress of the competition, the number of participants must be limited. Not too much at a time.¡±
Fortunately, the temperature is relatively high, and those dishes have not cooled down yet. Although the flavor has been lost a lot, it basically remains the same.
Of course, what is controversial is the "fish head soup" by the river and the "hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix" in Cheng Feizhou. The staff brought out the two dishes again and provided the elderly man with two pairs of chopsticks.
The elderly man was not humble. He picked up his chopsticks, put a small piece of fish in the plate of fish head soup, and chewed it carefully in his mouth. Although the fish head soup has become a little colder, the taste is still mellow. The old man had just tasted the 'Fish Head Soup', but not the 'Hundred Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix', and the color of his food had already changed drastically.
He put the chopsticks in his hand weakly on the table, but did not try to taste the "Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" again.
"Old sir, do you want to taste the 'Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix'?" Man Chengde asked.
The elderly man blushed and shook his head in shame, "I'm so sorry, it seems I really misunderstood!"
"It doesn't matter, you have helped us a lot. Because all the audience friends can only see the cooking process and the appearance of the dishes, but know nothing about the most important elements such as aroma, taste, quality, etc., it is easy to The misunderstanding just now. With your participation, the transparency of the competition can be improved. The authority of the competition can be improved!" Man Chengde affirmed the old man's approach.
The old man walked to the riverside and said with a blushing face, "I'm so sorry! I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. I must go to your fish restaurant to try it out if I have the chance!"
