Chapter 588 Final Battle

After returning to his room, Malu ordered a massage service. In the evening, Qi Shanzhu came to give him another massage, which solved the problem of his right hand pain.

In addition, Qi Shanzhu also thanked Boss Ma for not copying this morning.

She had been concentrating on cooking before, and it was only after the competition that she heard from other contestants that Malu had made all the tricks, replicating three popular snacks at once and selling them at a discount, which led to the elimination of this year's popular contestant Cui Junxian.

It is said that Cui Junxian contacted several other chefs who were also eliminated by a few votes after the competition, and complained to the organizing committee that he was treated unfairly.

The God of Cooking Competition should be a place to compete in cooking skills, but Malu won by means of business, affecting the fairness of the competition, and also mobilized his fans to write a letter of protest to the World Culinary Federation, hoping to have a rematch.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cui Junxian was just making up for his elimination in the second round to avoid too much impact on Wing's business.

He actually knew that there was no hope for a rematch, because Malu's behavior did not violate any of the competition rules, so after protesting, he flew back to China directly, and did not even accept the post-match interview.

Qi Shanzhu's fried fish cakes were also selling well at the time, and Malu did not copy them, which was obviously a mercy.

Qi Shanzhu originally just had the mentality of getting through the first round and winning, but he did not expect to be able to get into the top seven, and he was very excited.

Before leaving, he also left his address and restaurant address to Malu.

Malu also gave Qi Shanzhu the address of the Universe Infinite Canteen and the new villa.

The two did not talk about the possibility of going further, because they knew that it was impossible for each other to give up their careers, friends and social circles and run to a strange country to start over.

So what happened here should be left here and become a beautiful memory. This is the tacit understanding of adults.

…………

On the third day, after a rest, Malu, who had regained his spirits, came to the banquet hall on the sixth floor of the hotel with two little tails.

As soon as I stepped into the door, I immediately felt that the atmosphere here had become different from the previous two days. The audience in the audience seats were more excited and active.

This is because nearly half of the seven finalists are Chinese chefs, which has never happened in previous chef competitions.

In addition, the competition venue was renovated overnight, and the extra cooking tables were removed, leaving only seven seats, forming a circle.

In this way, the contestants can observe the choices and progress of their opponents while cooking.

In addition, there are three camera positions next to each cooking table, so that the audience on site and in front of the TV can fully appreciate the heroic appearance of the contestants when cooking.

Malu received the warmest welcome when he entered the venue.

Although the Universe Infinity Canteen has only been open for less than half a year, due to several controversial incidents and the feud with Meiping.com, it has earned the popularity that many old restaurants have not accumulated for several years or even decades.

And Malu, the boss, came to Sanya to participate in the chef competition in person. Although many of the contestants who came this time also have their own restaurants, he is the only one who does not cook at ordinary times and has another chef in the restaurant.

Everyone was generally skeptical about Malu's ability at the beginning, but after two rounds of competition, the cooking skills shown by Boss Ma have completely conquered all doubters.

He can no longer be called a dark horse now, he has become a big devil-like figure, and he has a sense of oppression when he appears on the stage.

Malu also waved to the audience and thanked them, looking relaxed.

Before the competition began, the female host first interviewed the seven contestants briefly.

When it was Malu's turn, she asked a question that many people were curious about.

"Well, in the previous two days of competition, everyone noticed that Chef Malu seemed to have been cooking with your right hand, and your left hand rarely participated.

"Especially with the theme of street food yesterday, was your left hand injured?"

"No."

"Then why not?"

"Because no one is worthy of me using both hands. "Malu said into the microphone.

His arrogant answer immediately caused another round of exclamations from the crowd.

The fighting spirit in the eyes of Sun Mei and others was also ignited by this sentence, and even Qi Shanzhu showed an expression that he didn't want to admit defeat easily.

Being the chef of a restaurant, one would be more or less proud.

The reason why Malu said such a comic villain-like words, in addition to finding a rational excuse for his own behavior, was to give other contestants more strength.

He didn't forget Lao Wang's wish, hoping that everyone could go all out and show their style as much as possible in the last round of the competition.

However, it must be said that there were too many old friends and familiar faces in this round. Malu was also worried that everyone would be concerned about the relationship between each other and would not be able to let go, so he simply went down to add fuel to the fire.

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, he felt a little relieved in his heart.

Then the female host introduced the judges of the final.

Like the contestants, the judging panel of the final was also streamlined, leaving only 4 judges.

They were Gaggan, the Indian chef from the gaggan restaurant Anand, Hong Kong chef Rocky Chan, Violette Huppert, editor-in-chief of Food & Wine magazine, and Japanese chef Hajime Yoneda from HAJIME restaurant.

Sun He, president of the Asian branch of the World Culinary Federation, was also a judge, but in order to avoid suspicion, he temporarily decided to withdraw from the final judging seat and gave his position to Rocky Chan.

In this way, all the contestants and judges are here.

The female host then opened the envelope in her hand. She glanced at the card in the envelope and couldn't help showing a touch of surprise.

"Ah, the theme of this competition is so unique.

"It is a very common thing on the island. The seven chefs need to use this thing to cook, and then the four judges will score. The lowest score will be eliminated in each round.

"There will be a total of six rounds of duels to determine the final champion. The top three can get a corresponding amount of bonuses, and the champion and runner-up will also be qualified to participate in the world competition to compete for the final title of chef god."

The female host paused, "Have you all seen the timer on the table?"

Malu and others looked to the right after hearing her words, and there was indeed a special timer there.

"When the competition starts, the timer will automatically start counting. After cooking is completed, tap the timer to pause. After pausing, you can no longer touch any kitchen utensils.

"The total cooking time for this round is 2 hours, which must be completed within the specified time. If it exceeds, it will be automatically judged as a loser. ”

Although the time was shorter than the second game, most people still breathed a sigh of relief because they no longer had to cook food for 100 people.

Until one contestant asked, "2 hours, is it the cooking time for each round, or is it added together?"

"Yes, it is added together." The female host said, "That means if you aim to win the championship, you have to use these two hours to cook six dishes."
