Dare to cook

Chapter 217 Tied for First Place
While Yao Yu was making Qingwen steamed buns, Lu Chenyu was also quickly making crab dumplings.

The preparation of crab dumplings is not much different from the preparation of ordinary dumplings.

The main thing is to steam the crab first, and then pick out the crab meat.

The cabbage used to make the filling should also be blanched in hot water, then cooled in cold water, then minced together with mushrooms and shrimp, and added to the pork filling.

Also, before putting the shrimp into the dumpling filling, the shrimp should be wrapped with starch to absorb excess water.

In addition, the biggest difference between crab dumplings and ordinary dumplings is that an additional pot of soup is boiled when cooking crab dumplings.

Wait until the dumplings are cooked, then mix the dumplings with the cooked soup and eat.

Whether it is Qingwen buns or crab dumplings, they are not too complicated dishes in essence.

As the overtime time ran out, Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu's dishes were also ready.

Red House dishes are famous for their exquisiteness.

When the judges saw the Qingwen steamed buns and crab dumplings served by the waiter, they couldn't help but nodded.

"Very good. Judging from the appearance, it has been restored very well."

"The fillings of this crab dumpling are evenly beaten. The umami flavors of crab meat and shrimp are all locked in the dumpling wrapper."

A reviewer took a half bite of the dumpling and commented:
"The stuffing is big and the skin is thin. To be able to make such a strong dumpling skin by hand, Lu Chenyu has worked hard."

Fan Jingwen tasted Yao Yu's Qingwen steamed buns and was also quite satisfied:

"The steamed buns made of tofu skin have a dry texture, but the fillings used by Yao Yu contain more water, which can neutralize the slightly dry texture of the tofu skin."

Shen Yongrong also tasted Yao Yu's and Lu Chenyu's dishes carefully, then nodded, and said, "These two dishes have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you have no doubts, let's start scoring."

After speaking, Shen Yongrong returned to his seat and wrote down the score.

The scoring rules for overtime games are different from those for official games.

During the official competition, the judges will exchange opinions to ensure a fair evaluation of each dish.

During overtime, the judges could not exchange opinions.

Because, there is only one dish in the overtime game.

In the case of one dish deciding the winner, the judges may change their own scores if they know in advance what other people think of the dish.

In order to ensure that the judges' thinking will not interfere with each other, they can only comment on each other during overtime.

After Shen Yongrong wrote down his scores for the two dishes, the other five judges also gave their scores one after another.

Afterwards, the six judges showed their scores.

In this overtime match, the scores given to Yao Yu by the six judges were:
Int6.67分、6.78分、6.81分、6.53分、6.54分、6.62分，总计得分39.95分！
Then, the judges gave Lu Chenyu the following scores:

Int6.71分、6.89分、6.54分、6.53分、6.67分、6.61分，总计得分也是39.95分！
"I'm going! Just kidding!"

"It's a tie again!"

"Could it be that the judges have discussed it and want them to continue the extra match!"

"It can be tied even in overtime. It's really insightful."

"It's a tiebreaker again. Will the organizer let them play an extra match?"

When the scores given by the judges were tallied up, the scene was in an uproar and there was endless discussion.

Originally, in the finals, it was rare for the two players to tie.

It is even more unheard of for Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu to go into overtime and continue to tie.

All of a sudden, Shen Yongrong, Fan Jingwen and the judges were also dumbfounded.

Especially Shen Yongrong, as the master of the Hongmeng List, has been in the cooking industry for more than 50 years. He has commented on tens of thousands of competitions, large and small, but this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.

Shen Yongrong looked at Fan Jingwen and others. Fan Jingwen and the others also looked at each other in confusion.

When they rated Qingwen Baozi and Crab Dumplings, they really didn't talk to each other.

However, the total points of Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu were tied again.

"What should we do? Let them play another game?" Li Zhongxuan, who was ranked fifth on the Kirin list, blinked his mung bean-sized eyes and asked.

The other judges rolled their eyes when they heard this.

Shu Wangjing, who ranked third on the Kylin list, said speechlessly:

"Still competing? Yao Yu and the others have been competing for five consecutive hours. If the competition continues, what if they run out of energy?"

Shen Yongrong also smiled bitterly and said:

"Whether Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu can be better than I don't know."

"But what is certain is that if we continue to play, the spectators will definitely not be able to bear it."

"You all look at the time. It's already 07:30 in the evening. If you continue the game, even if you have enough food, you will have to make trouble until nine o'clock."

"By that time, the audience at the scene must have left long ago. A good final battle of the famous contest will also become a joke."

"Then how about... let them compete tomorrow?" Li Zhongxuan suggested.

Shen Yongrong shook his head:
"That won't work either. There's no way the finals would be halfway through and then continue the next day. It's outrageous."

This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, Fan Jingwen and the others are in the same situation for a while.

Shu Wangjing thought for a while and said:

"Let's ask the competition committee's opinion first. See if we can call up their total points and scores, and use the total points to judge the outcome."

Shen Yongrong nodded after hearing this.

In fact, needless to say Shu Wangjing, Guan Shanyuan, who is in charge of the competition committee, came up with this solution of adjusting the total points to determine the outcome.

After all, the finals cannot be postponed anyway.

Otherwise, the influence will be bad, and others will think that the organizer of the famous contest is unreliable.

Ran goose ...

When the on-site host received the latest instructions from the organizer and was about to explain to the audience, all the staff were dumbfounded again.

"Fuck! Both of them have the same total points!"

In the auditorium, Yang Rui and Shen Qiuming looked at the total points displayed on the big screen, and almost jumped up in shock.

At this time, Zhu Xingchen silently sang a song "For You":
"It must be a special fate to be able to go all the way and become a person with the same amount of points..."

A tie in the finals!Overtime tie!In the end, Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu's final total points were also tied!

After the two tied three times in a row, everyone completely lost their temper.

In the auditorium, Lu Huaiwei, Lu Tao and his son watched the excitement with a smile.

At the judging table during the competition, Shen Yongrong was unable to hold his forehead.

In the meeting room next door to the game broadcast, a group of bosses from the competition committee twitched their mouths.

Guan Shanyuan shook his head dumbfounded, and said:

"It's been tied three times in a row. It seems that this is God's will. Tell the on-site host and announce that Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu are tied for first place!"

"Then let Wu Zhongliu be promoted to runner-up, and Ling Zhaochi, who won No.4, to be promoted to third runner-up."

"Tied for first place!?" The other bosses of the competition committee were stunned and shocked.

Guan Shanyuan glanced at them and said angrily, "Otherwise!"

"I don't need you to tell me. I know that there has never been a precedent for being tied for first place in the famous tournament."

"Let's not say that there are no famous contests, even in other heavyweight competitions at home and abroad, there has never been an example of a tie for first place."

"But that doesn't mean that the Masters Selection Competition can't set a precedent!"

"Of course, if you have a better solution, you can speak up."

As soon as Guan Shanyuan said these words, the rest of the competition committee members fell silent.

After a long time, someone spoke:
"Looking at the performances of Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu in so many games, I think they are indeed worth breaking the rules."

"Whether it's Yao Yu or Lu Chenyu, any of them has the qualifications and strength to win the championship."

"The matter has come to this point, and it is impossible for us to change the rules for extra matches. Perhaps, tied for first place is the best choice."

Some people agreed with it, and more bigwigs seconded it.

Soon, the competition committee reached an agreement.

At the main venue, when the on-site host received the latest decision from the competition committee, she was also stunned.

As the official competition host of the Kitchen Association, Ling Xiaoxue has hosted various culinary finals hundreds of times.

In those competitions, Ling Xiaoxue had seen all kinds of chefs and encountered many strange competition situations.

but……

Are you sure you're not joking about tying for the championship?
Ling Xiaoxue was stunned for several seconds. This time she came to her senses and took the microphone and said to the audience:
"Dear audience friends, and audience friends in the major live broadcast rooms, let everyone wait for a long time!"

"Next, Xiaoxue will announce the final result of this competition on behalf of the organizer of the contest."

"As you have seen before, contestant Yao Yu and contestant Lu Chenyu were tied twice in the official match and overtime of the finals. This is enough to show that their cooking skills are evenly matched. Indistinguishable."

"In such a rare situation, we can only call up the total points of the two players for the whole schedule when the final scores are tied in a row."

"What's surprising is that the two contestants have scored an astonishing total of 887.6 points in this tournament."

"Because the total points of the two players are also the same, our competition committee decided to award Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu the first place tied for first place after serious discussion!"

what? !
Oh no! !
After the results of the competition were announced, the whole audience went crazy.

The vast majority of neutral spectators were only surprised, and did not expect that the game would end up with such a result.

The fans of Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu were all cheering and celebrating.

Although these fans all have their own supporters, they don't hate the chefs they support.

After all, it is well known that Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu have a good relationship.

Fans of the two families also felt that maybe Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu would really become a family in the future.

Therefore, for the fans of Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu, being tied for first place is a happy thing.

In addition to neutral viewers and fans, there were many people at the scene who were wailing because of this.

These people are represented by Shen Qiuming and Chu Huangyou. They all have a common characteristic, that is, they have placed a lot of bets in this game.

Take Yao Yu himself as an example.

When the Famous Selection Tournament just started, he bet [-] on the Wanghai Building to bet that he would win the championship, and he also bet another [-] to bet that Lu Chenyu would be the runner-up.

And now, the two of them are tied for first place.

As a result, Yao Yu's 10 yuan betting on Lu Chenyu to win the runner-up was in vain.

As for whether he can win back the 10 yuan he bet on himself to win the championship, it is hard to say.

Because he is the joint champion, not the only champion.

If the banker uses this as an excuse, he is likely to be lazy and not pay Yao Yu the amount.

And Shen Qiuming, Chu Huangyou and the others bet no less than Yao Yu in this match.

Those people either bet on Yao Yu to take second place, or they bet on Lu Chenyu to take second place.

After the tied results were announced, they immediately realized that their bets were going to be in vain, so they cried and felt sad.

……

On the field, Yao Yu, who also did not expect this result, was also stunned.

But at the same time, the message popped up by the system made him breathe a sigh of relief:

[The fifth link of the mission "The Return of the Celebrity Chef": 5. Please win the championship of the celebrity competition (achieved)]

[At present, the total progress of the S-level mission {The Return of the Celebrity Chef} has been completed by 75%, and the details of the remaining missions can be folded/expanded...]

"Phew, even though they are tied for first place, the mission objective has been achieved."

"Next, as long as you defeat Shen Gongpei in tomorrow's challenge, you can completely complete the task of [The Return of the Famous Chef]."

Yao Yu looked at the system panel and thought to himself.

Yao Yu, who was relieved, burst into a smile.

He looked at the unbelievably beautiful Lu Chenyu beside him, and for a moment he only felt that the world was so beautiful.

Even though, he and Lu Chenyu did not decide the winner.

But does that matter?
unimportant.

Yao Yu suddenly felt that if he could be with Lu Chenyu, many things would become unimportant.

Of course Yao Yu's eyes couldn't hide from Lu Chenyu's perception.

At this moment, she was also very happy in her heart.

After being dazed, Lu Chenyu turned her head to look at Yao Yu, only to see that fellow looking at her with burning eyes.

Like, looking at a gem.

Lu Chenyu's ears couldn't help turning red.

At this time, Yao Yu suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Congratulations, you have won the championship!"

Lu Chenyu chuckled, patted Yao Yu's hand away, and said, "Then should I say we're both happy and happy?"

Anyway, no matter how startled the others might be.

The game has finally come to an end.

The finals are over, and then there will be a short awards ceremony.

In this session, Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu stood at the top of the podium at the same time, holding the championship trophy together.

The original third runner-up, Wu Zhongliu, was on the left side, holding the runner-up trophy in a vague way.

On the far right side of the podium, Ling Zhaochi, who was even more confused, also received the third place trophy with a doubtful look on his face.

The four stood on the podium and were frantically photographed by a group of photographers.

Afterwards, the on-site host and the representatives of the competition committee made some irrelevant speeches, and the award ceremony ended.

After the award ceremony, the audience began to leave the venue with unsatisfied feelings.

The last finals brought them a lot of highlights and topics.

At the same time, some people began to look forward to tomorrow's last game.

——That was not an official match, but it was a challenge that touched people's hearts even more.

Yao Yu VS Shen Gongpei.

With Yu's strength, is there really a chance to beat the veteran chef on the Qilin list?
