Chapter 599 Final Round

The four judges discussed for about five minutes, and there seemed to be some disputes during the period, but fortunately they reached a consensus in the end.

The final result was announced by the team leader Gaggan Anand.

"Congratulations to Chef Sun Mei, you can stay and continue to participate in the next competition."

After that, he looked at Luo Junkang again, "Chef Luo Junkang, after discussing, we feel that your loofah tea fritters are impeccable in taste, and the idea of ​​incorporating coconut shreds into the tea is also very interesting.

"It has achieved the effect of only smelling the coconut fragrance but not seeing the coconut meat, but similar ideas have been achieved by contestants before, so the surprise it brings us is not that strong.

"In addition, in terms of visual effects and originality, "A Night in a Foreign Land" is better than Luffa Tea, so after discussion, we decided to let Chef Sun Mei advance."

"Okay," Luo Junkang nodded without changing his expression, "I don't have time either. To be honest, I can only go to the next round to give myself away."

"Oh, and please don't leave the banquet hall for now. There will be an award ceremony for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place after the competition." The female host reminded.

As Luo Junkang walked down the cooking table, the competition finally reached the final stage.

Only two contestants, Sun Mei and Ma Lu, were left, and the remaining time on the timers of the two was 28 minutes and 12 seconds, and... 4 minutes and 43 seconds respectively.

The gap was huge.

Normally, Sun Mei should have won.

However, her opponent was the monster Ma Lu who got full marks for 5 consecutive rounds.

Not to mention 4 minutes and 43 seconds, even if there were only 60 seconds left, Sun Mei would not feel safe.

But for now, her strategy has indeed worked. She survived the fourth and fifth rounds without any danger. She has nearly half an hour to cook in the next final battle.

And she has already prepared for the final battle.

However, after the game started, Sun Mei suddenly stayed where she was, motionless.

"Hey, what's wrong with Xiao Mei?" Qiu Lele asked curiously.

"Why hasn't she started yet? I saw her put three pots on the fire in the second round, stewing something. Now she has only used one pot, and there are still two pots that have not been touched. She should have been confident about the last dish, right?"

"She wavered." Sun He said lightly.

Seeing that Qiu Lele was a little puzzled, Sun He explained, "I watched her grow up. She has been praised as a genius since she was a child. She has an amazing talent for cooking. She has been smooth sailing all the way and has hardly met any opponents who can match her.

"So she is more and more arrogant, and has absolute confidence in her cooking skills and the path she has chosen. This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

"After all, if a person cannot believe in his or her own choice, it will be difficult for him or her to persist and continue to improve, and he or she will fall into constant internal friction."

"But this confidence also prevents her from exploring more possibilities. The more games she wins and the more praise she gets, the narrower her vision will become."

"As a result, this time, she met a truly powerful opponent. The opponent's overwhelming skills and understanding of ingredients were obviously superior to hers, which had an unprecedented strong impact on her.

"This impact was so strong that she doubted the path she had chosen all along."

"In the current situation, she no longer believes that the dish she is going to make next can defeat her opponent," Sun He said, "so she is standing there now, in a dilemma. "

While the two were talking, Ma Lu had already tapped the timer and finished cooking.

He had prepared this dish a long time ago, and now he was just finishing it, so he was very fast.

After tapping the timer, Boss Ma was already thinking about how to spend the bonus. 3 million is not a lot for him now, especially since he still has to pay taxes, but no one would complain about money.

Well, some people may say that they don't care about money, but if you don't let them make money, they will definitely get angry with you.

Ma Lu plans to buy himself a TV after getting the championship bonus. He has been eyeing Samsung's 115-inch flagship Micro LED TV these days.

It's not expensive, only 1 million, and there will be 1.4 million left after buying it.

Just then he noticed Sun Mei, who was motionless on the opposite side.

It's been 5 minutes since the start of the game, and Sun Mei hasn't started cooking yet.

She just frowned and stood there, with a gloomy look on her face.

Ma Lu couldn't help but be curious. He turned around and asked the staff next to him, "Can the players talk during the game? "

"Ah?" The staff member never expected that someone would have such a weird request.

He thought to himself, "Brother, we are in the competition, and it's the final round, can you be a little more serious?"

But before he could answer, Malu said to himself, "It should be possible. I talked to other contestants on the first day and worked with your female host."

"Chef Malu, please wait a moment. I will ask the superiors." The staff member wiped the cold sweat from his head.

"Then hurry up, time is still running." Malu urged.

"Okay."

The staff member took out his mobile phone and replied half a minute later, "I asked, and there is indeed no restriction in this regard, but... hey."

Before he finished speaking, Malu had already walked towards Sun Mei opposite.

At this time, Sun Mei looked a little strange, without the previous pride and confidence, his eyes were scattered, his cheeks were slightly red, and sweat oozed from his forehead.

She was still mumbling, "No, it's not enough, it's not enough! There must be another way!"

Until her shoulder was tapped, Sun Mei finally broke free from her dazed state.

Then she saw a face close to her.

"Hey, we're in the game, cheer up!"

"Heh," Sun Mei exhaled slightly, "Why is it you?"

"I don't know how you see me, but after so many days of getting along, I already regard you as a friend. If a friend encounters difficulties, I will definitely come to see him." Ma Lu said.

"I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about why you can come to my place."

"I asked the staff and they said it's not a violation." Ma Lu said, "You know me. I like to wander around."

"Have you finished your dishes?"

"I'm done." Ma Lu said, and then asked, "What about yours?"

"I'm in a bit of trouble," Sun Mei didn't hide it, "I don't know what to do."

"Then do you want to hear my advice?"

"Go ahead."

"Just make your favorite food."

"Are you kidding? If I like fried chicken, would I make a portion of fried chicken and serve it?"

"Why not? Anyway, you can't beat me. Make something that makes you happy. You see, Master Luo is very happy when he makes chasa. He tried it all, and finally found that this thing is the best."
