Dare to cook

Chapter 215
The setting sun fell to the west, casting a wine-red afterglow on the sea.

Six o'clock in the evening.

In the main venue of Tangdao Bay, the atmosphere was quiet and warm.

The dishes prepared by Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu have been put on the judging table.

All the audience are looking forward to it, suppressing their excitement, waiting for the judges' tasting verdict.

After more than half a month of competition, at this moment, the huge celebrity chef selection competition is finally coming to an end.

Everyone is waiting for the answer to be revealed, wanting to know which one is more powerful, Yao Yu or Lu Chenyu.

On the field, Yao Yu stood with his hands behind his back, also looking forward to it.

After three years of dormant low tide, Yao Yu's mood is more tenacious than three years ago.

In this game, no matter whether he lost or won, Yao Yu could accept it calmly.

Because of this, he did not use [Clearness] to scan his and Lu Chenyu's dish scores in advance, but left the final suspense to the judges.

Since this game is the finals, the jury sent by the organizer is also very luxurious.

In this competition, Shen Yongrong, the master of the Hongmeng List, served as the main judge, and the organizer also invited the top five chefs on the Kirin List.

Its specifications are astonishingly high.

In the judging booth, the six judges began to taste the dishes of Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu under the multi-angle shooting of four or five cameras.

The judges at the moment all looked a little serious.

Every time they eat a dish, they will rinse their mouths with water, and wait until the aftertaste in their mouths has faded before tasting the next dish.

The reason for this is to avoid taste confusion between dishes.

Only in this way can they make the most fair and objective judgment possible.

If it is to comment on other chefs' competitions, the judges don't need to be so serious.

However, after they had tasted the dishes of Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu, even these veterans who had been famous for a long time did not dare to despise them anymore.

"These Sixi meatballs, the Lu cuisine chef at Yanjing Hotel is not bad."

"I really like Yao Yu's honey sauce roast pork. It's not easy to cook honey sauce barbecue pork in the oven within four hours!"

"Lu Chenyu's grilled dried fish with mushrooms and chicken with dates and chestnuts are also unmistakable."

"In comparison, the date and chestnut chicken made by Yao Yu is a bit spicy and heavy, which is more suitable for the tastes of young people."

"The moonlight in the lotus pond made by both of them is very good. The simpler the stir-fry, the more difficult it is to make it taste delicious."

"Today's young people rely too much on the use of condiments. They often like to make simple dishes more complicated, but neglect to cover up the original taste of the food. But Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu, in this lotus pond moonlight , did not make such a mistake.”

"Young people are awesome. When Lu Tao and Yao Yunjian first stepped into the culinary world, they made many seniors look sideways."

"Looking at Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu's performance over the years, it's even worse."

"Let's gossip less, let's think about how to score."

"If you use the standard for judging young people, at least eight of these twelve dishes can get super-order points."

"In a competition, it would not be appropriate if there are too many dishes with super-level scores..." Shen Yongrong heard this, pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, it is better to use the int scoring system to score."

"Do you want to use int for scoring? That is the scoring standard for judging chefs on the Kirin List!" The other five judges were shocked.

Shen Yongrong smiled and said:
"Don't you think that the strength demonstrated by Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu is not enough for the int scoring system?"

As soon as these words came out, the five Qilin List chefs fell silent.

Indeed, if you think about it carefully, the culinary skills shown by Yao Yu and the others can already compete with the twenty or so chefs at the bottom of the Qilin list.

Perhaps, in less than two years, Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu may have the strength to enter the Unicorn list.

"In this case, let's listen to Senior Shen and use the int system to score!" Fan Jingwen, the leader of the Kirin list, thought for a while and said.

Now that the two most powerful people on the jury have made their decision, the others no longer insist on it.

Therefore, the six judges used int standards to score Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu.

The int criteria are not intended to be much stricter than the normal scoring criteria.

Dishes that originally scored 9 points in the normal score can only score 6 points in the int standard.

After several judges deliberated, when they announced the final score, everyone including Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu was shocked.

The order of dish scoring in this competition is:

Sixi balls, chicken with dates and chestnuts, grilled dried fish with mushrooms, barbecued pork in honey sauce, hibiscus prawns and moonlight in the lotus pond.

And Yao Yu's final score in this game is:

Int7.12分、6.91分、6.93分、7.21分、7.0分以及7.01分，总计分数是42.18分！
After Yao Yu's score came out, Lu Chenyu's six-course score also came out.

They are:
Int7.15分、6.94分、6.99分、7.13分、7.0分以及6.97分，总计得分同样也是42.18分！
No one expected that in this competition, the judges temporarily decided to use the int scoring standard.

This decision is shocking.

As long as anyone who is knowledgeable can see it, this means that Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu already have the qualifications to compete with the chefs on the Qilin list in the eyes of the judges!
What was even more unexpected was that Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu would tie in the final!

The two are tied!

Such a result, let alone the players and audience did not expect it.Even Shen Yongrong and others who were in charge of scoring did not expect it.

Because before, they only focused on evaluating each dish, and no one even calculated whether the total scores of the two contestants would be the same.

After Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu tied, the host of the match immediately went on stage to explain to the audience:
"This is really surprising. I didn't expect that the two players, regardless of their appearance, are equally outstanding!"

"Then, according to the regulations of the Famous Selection Tournament, if the players are tied, they must play an extra match!"

"Next, please give the organizers some time to discuss and decide on the overtime game!"

As soon as the host said this, the audience became even more excited now.

Fans of Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu also shouted and waved banners, cheering for their idols.

It also happens occasionally in culinary competitions that the contestants are tied.

Let’s not talk about it, let’s just talk about the match between the top 64 and the top 32 not long ago. In the match between Shen Qiuming and Shen Linxuan, the two tied once, and then dragged into overtime to decide the winner.

But now, Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu also encountered the same situation.

Since this afternoon is the last game and the organizers have limited food preparations, random selection can no longer be used to determine the overtime questions.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to draw out the competition questions but not be able to provide ingredients.

A group of people from the competition committee quickly discussed for a while, and decided to make a list of all the ingredients that can be provided at present, and then hand it over to the chief judge, Shen Yongrong, to ask him to improvise a competition question based on the ingredients on the list.

After Shen Yongrong got the ingredients list, he browsed it carefully, pondered for a moment, and then showed a smile: "Bring paper and pen!"
