Chapter 571 Star

After picking up Sun Mei, the driver drove the three of them to the hotel.

This is where they will live and compete for the next three days.

The hotel is located by the beach with pleasant scenery. There are king palms more than ten meters high planted in front of the door, as well as large lawns and several swimming pools of different sizes. There is also a tropical fruit and vegetable garden.

Qiu Lele brought three people to the front desk to check in. While the waiter was entering information, two young girls came over.

They walked straight to Kawano Zhengming, and one of the girls said nervously in broken Japanese, "Excuse me...are you Chef Kawano of the Gudao Restaurant?"

Kawano Zhengming nodded, and the two girls suddenly became excited. They raised their mobile phones, took photos with Kawano Zhengming and asked for autographs.

Ma Lu asked Qiu Lele, "Didn't you say that the organizing committee has booked the hotel? Why are there other tourists here?"

"They are not tourists." Another voice answered him.

Malu turned around and saw a familiar figure.

"Ah, I can meet you anywhere."

“Meiping.com is a strategic partner of the World Culinary Federation and one of the sponsors of the MasterChef competition.

"The MasterChef Competition is a very important event for food lovers all over the world. Of course, the company must also send people to report it."

Yu Yitong said that she wore a gray-black high-waisted A-line skirt today and paired it with high heels, which made her look tall and elegant, attracting the attention of many people in the lobby.

"All right."

"We have assembled an interview team of 26 people this time. David and I are mainly responsible for tracking and filming your daily life."

Yu Yitong waved and called a tall and thin man over with a camera.

The visitor shook hands with Ma Lu warmly, "Hello, Boss Ma, I'm David, a big fan of Universe Infinite Canteen.

"I had eaten your Roujiamo when you and Chef Wang were still setting up a stall in Hangda. The taste was really amazing!!! I still reminisce about it to this day. It's a unique delicacy!

"I've eaten there twice since you opened the store. By the way, Boss Ma, do you have anything to say before the game starts?"

David pointed the camera on his shoulder at Malu.

"Uh... Good evening everyone. From now on, we will go to the Universe Infinite Canteen to eat more often. If you see someone hacking us online, remember to spray it back, okay?"

After Ma Lu finished speaking, he looked at David, who then asked again.

"Why is it that you, Boss Ma, are here for this Master of Chef Competition, and not Chef Wang?"

"It's not very convenient for Chef Wang."

"Are you sick?"

"Almost."

"But I heard that during the registration stage, it's you, Boss Ma."

"Well, because Chef Wang is actually an alien and it's not convenient for him to appear, I entered the competition in his place."

"Really?" David was surprised.

"Stop taking pictures." Yu Yitong said, "He is playing tricks on you. Go take some shots of other contestants. Maybe you can use them later."

"Copy that, head." David said and left with the camera in his hand.

"How do you know I'm lying?" Ma Lu asked Yu Yizhuo.

"Because you have been looking into David's eyes with a sincere expression. Usually, you are lying at this time." Yu Yizhuo said, "I have been fooled several times."

"Is that so?"

The fact is that Malu has evolved again. He can now look into the other person's eyes or not when he lies, and has reached the point where he can talk nonsense as he pleases. Moreover, Ma Lu knew that Yu Yizhu could understand his little moves, so he used a trick to make Yu Yizhu think he was lying, and used Yu Yizhu's words to stop the interview.

So it seemed that Yu Yizhuo won this round, but in fact he was the one who really had the last laugh. Thinking of this, the corners of Ma Lu's mouth turned up slightly.

"why are you laughing?"

"Nothing. By the way, you just said they were not tourists. What do they do?"

"The organizer has indeed booked the hotel, but not only the contestants live here, but also professional judges, translators, media, and public judges. They are the public judges."

"Public review?" Sun Mei raised his eyebrows, "I haven't heard of any public review in the past few years."

"This is an innovation of the competition system by the World Culinary Federation. They believe that the right to speak and evaluate food should not only be in the hands of a few people, so this competition also invited 500 food lovers to form Public Review.”

"Five hundred people?"

"That's right."

"We actually found so many people."

As the three of them were talking, another person came to Kawano Zhengming to ask for an autograph. This guy was quite popular.

Perhaps in addition to his delicious cooking, it also has a lot to do with his appearance and temperament. The first time Ma Lu saw him, he thought of the Japanese actor Joe Odagiri, who had a melancholic and decadent handsomeness.

But soon, a more eye-catching presence appeared.

As soon as the visitor got off the car, there was a commotion in the hall. Reporters and fans rushed to the door, and all kinds of guns and cannons were ready to go.

The organizer seemed to have anticipated this situation, and even assigned him two bodyguards to stop the crazy fans.

"It's Qi Shanzhu who's here." Yu Yizhuo said.

"Well, isn't it Seoul magician Cui Junxian? He should be the most famous among the contestants this time." Sun Mei said.

"No, if we talk about popularity, Qi Shanzhu, who is also from South Korea, is more popular. In addition to running her own restaurant, she is also a model, actress, and internet celebrity blogger. The number of fans on YouTube has almost exceeded 10 million."

After Yu Yitong finished speaking, Qi Shanzhu also walked in from the door. She was tall, wearing sunglasses, a slanted off-shoulder sweater on the upper body, and low-waist shorts on the lower body.

Ma Lu's eyes stayed on her long legs for a full half minute, and after a moment, he praised, "Generous."

Qi Shanzhu happened to pass in front of them, and seemed to hear something, and also looked over here curiously.

But soon she was surrounded by enthusiastic fans again. Qi Shanzhu was not as cold as she seemed. While the staff helped her check in, she took photos with many fans.

At this time, Qiu Lele also returned the room card, ID card, and passport to Ma Lu, Sun Mei, and Kawano Zhengming.

"Have a good rest, the competition will start tomorrow morning."

After Kawano Zhengming took the room card, he suddenly said in Japanese, "Can I go and see the venue and ingredients?"

"The ingredients may not be very good, but the venue is fine."

"Then I'll go too." Sun Mei said without even putting her travel bag into the guest room.

After that, she looked at Malu again.

Malu shook his head and said, "I won't go. I plan to chat with the contestants."

Sun Mei raised her eyebrows, "The other contestants are going to find Qi Shanzhu, right? But do you speak Korean?"

"No, but it doesn't matter. You see, I can communicate well with Kawano-kun even though I don't speak Japanese." Malu said.
