Chapter 157 - 152: The Female Supporting Character of the Spiritual Spring Space
After messing with Lian Lan, Ye Qiu quickly pushed the incident to the back of her mind. Tomorrow is the preliminary round of the International Culinary Competition, and nearly one hundred amateur chefs will compete to secure three spots to challenge world-class chefs in the final. The most thrilling part for Ye Qiu was that the competition was held in City S, saving her the hassle of taking leaves and commuting.
The competition featured ten professional judges and one hundred public judges, each group’s scores accounting for fifty percent. With such a vast panel, chefs had to cater to every individual’s taste and prepare a significant quantity of food, making it an incredibly challenging task.
Given the large amounts required, each head chef was allowed the help of two sous chefs; therefore, Ye Qiu specifically asked Ye Fu to help.
With a multitude of participants, the first trial expanded over ten days. Each day ten people would compete, and one winner per day would proceed to the preliminary finals, eventually electing three to enter the grand International Culinary Competition.
Ye Qiu was scheduled for the first day. Among her nine competitors, she noticed an inheritor from a century-old restaurant featured in a food show, a net celebrity famous for food videos, and homemakers, among others. Due to her looks, Ye Qiu was the most attention-grabbing among them, and cameras consistently focused on her.
Cao Lu sat in the audience, vigorously waving to cheer on her friend, and said to He Qingfeng beside her, "You’re in for a treat today, Ye Zi’s cooking is really delicious."
"Lower your voice, what if someone realizes you’re cheating?" He Qingfeng pulled up his sleeve, feigning a scare.
Hearing this, Cao Lu really did lower her voice, leaning conspiratorially towards his ear: "But hey, you’re pretty daring, even risking tampering with a national broadcast."
