Chapter 895: Chapter 895: You Should Go Buy a Lottery Ticket!
"You can’t force me to deliberately cater to others’ tastes, right?" Zhuang Mingyan said, "Is it that even something so subjective must be determined by the majority? Just because my opinion differs, does it have to be wrong?"
"Bullshit!"
"Stop defending yourself!"
"Shameless!"
"You can turn black into white!"
The audience was extremely angry.
As Zhuang Mingyan said, the appreciation of taste is indeed a very subjective matter.
If something is obviously delicious, but Zhuang Mingyan insists she doesn’t like it, then she just doesn’t like the taste.
Others can’t really say anything.
No one has evidence to prove that she’s lying.
This time, Tian Pengpo spoke up: "Mr. Shen, can I taste Ye Fei’s cooking?"
This reminded Ye Fei of the first round of competition.
It was Tian Pengpo and the others who tasted her cooking to prove Ye Fei’s skills.
Zhao Gushen nodded.
Tian Pengpo tasted only a small bite of each dish.
"Although the competition has been going on for a while, and the food has cooled down, Ye Fei’s cooking is definitely not at the level of two or three out of ten," Tian Pengpo said sarcastically, "I’m also one of the majority. My taste isn’t as unique as Judge Zhuang’s."
Zhou Junhao and the others also tasted Ye Fei’s cooking.
Yu Yingyan said: "We, as competitors with Ye Fei, all have to admit the excellence of Ye Fei’s cooking. I very much agree with the scores that other judges have given Ye Fei."
"If possible, I wonder if there are any audience members present who would be willing to taste it?" Hua Ciyue said.
Each person tasted a small bite.
But not much was left.
An Haiyin saw this situation and said, "Now that the food is a bit cold, if the audience doesn’t mind, they can have a taste."
"I’m willing!"
"I’m willing too!"
Even if it’s cold and the taste is reduced, they still want to try it.
Mostly out of curiosity to see what Ye Fei’s cooking truly tastes like.
Also to find out if Zhuang Mingyan’s scoring was biased.
Is Zhuang Mingyan just very demanding?
Or is Zhuang Mingyan just being malicious?
Actually, the audience also knows that Ye Fei’s cooking has been sitting for quite a long time and has cooled down.
In terms of taste, it’s certain to be much less flavorful than when it was freshly made.
But they can still discern its original flavor from the current taste.
If it tastes good even when cold, imagine how much better it was when freshly made.
Anyway, the audience is very curious.
"If no one objects, we will randomly select some audience members to come up on stage to taste." An Haiyin said.
"Let’s go by seat numbers." An Haiyin said.
When An Haiyin suggested allowing the audience to taste, Lu Chenghong hurried to make the arrangements.
Now, as An Haiyin suggests a method, the screen conveniently displays the full seating arrangement.
"Please wait a moment, I’ll inquire about the specifics for implementation." An Haiyin said.
At this time, Lu Chenghong also came on stage.
An Haiyin approached Zhao Gushen and Lu Chenghong.
"Mr. Shen, how many people should we choose to come up?" Lu Chenghong asked.
Zhao Gushen looked around.
There are six judges.
So each dish was prepared in six portions.
Each time, a judge takes only a small bite.
Even when Tian Pengpo and the others tasted earlier, it was just a small bite.
Everyone used new utensils, and each time before tasting a new dish, they would switch to new utensils.
Therefore, the dishes were clean, without cross-contamination.
"Let’s do 10," Zhao Gushen said, "I think 10 people should be enough. Too many people definitely won’t work, but too few might lack persuasive power. We need to get more opinions for the audience to see."
An Haiyin nodded and went back to announce, "We’ll randomly select 10 audience members to come up and taste the dishes."
An Haiyin turned her back to the screen and said, "Begin."
Just like a lottery draw, seat numbers on the screen lit up one by one.
Then went out one by one.
The speed of sequential lighting became faster and faster, spinning faster and faster.
An Haiyin was facing away from the screen, unable to see the seat selection happening on screen.
When she felt it was about right, she shouted, "Stop!"
The lights slowed down gradually and finally stopped.
In the end, 10 seat numbers were randomly selected.
"Will those ten audience members please come on stage," An Haiyin said.
Zhuang Mingyan was also quite nervous at this moment.
But just as she said, taste is a very subjective matter.
Even if those audience members say it’s delicious, so what?
She will stick to her statement, insisting that she found Ye Fei’s cooking unpalatable, so what?
The 10 audience members came up and tasted Ye Fei’s dishes, nodding continuously.
"Even when cold, it’s so delicious. If it were freshly made, it would surely be even tastier," one of the audience members on stage said.
Another person, who seemed about to burst into tears with excitement, turned to Ye Fei and said, "Miss Ye, do you remember me? I’m the person who first tasted your grilled skewer during the first round!"
At that time, no one was approaching Ye Fei’s stall. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
He was the first to taste at Ye Fei’s stall, and after being astounded by the deliciousness, eagerly recommended it to others.
Only then did others get wind of it and flock to taste Ye Fei’s grilled skewers.
"I remember," Ye Fei recalled quite well.
Especially since he was the first guest at the first competition she ever participated in.
"What a coincidence, getting chosen again," Ye Fei smiled.
The person said emotionally, "You don’t know, ever since tasting your grilled skewers, I’ve constantly been craving them!"
"I even visited several places to eat, but none could match your flavor," the person said, "I’ve really struggled."
"Didn’t expect, this time, how lucky I am to be chosen again."
This was out of a full house!
To only select 10 people among so many, and for him to be chosen.
This luck could surely win a lottery!
This audience member was overjoyed.
He rubbed his hands eagerly to taste.
The ten tasted Ye Fei’s dishes one after another.
That particular audience’s eyes lit up.
"Ye Fei, do you plan to open a restaurant?" the audience member asked.
"Why?" Ye Fei was curious about his intention.
The audience replied, "It’s really so delicious that if you open a restaurant, I’d definitely go! This way, I could often enjoy your cooking."
"Just watching the culinary competition without tasting is torture," the audience said, "But having never tasted, there’s no longing." free𝑤ebnovel.com
"But once tasted, knowing how good it is, thinking of possibly never eating it again is too painful," the audience said, "Even if you open a restaurant, it’s unlikely you’d personally cook often, but having the recipe for other chefs would be good too."
