Chapter 52 - 52 The Taste of Love
52 The Taste of Love
With the failure of the first two groups, the next few groups were still full of ugliness.
Some were fried and some were not cooked. Some even cut the melon in half and called it a day, which made the netizens laugh their heads off.
Because in terms of quality, Chen Che and Li Wei’s works were the most eye-catching. In order to increase the anticipation, the production team deliberately placed these two groups as last to preview.
As Team 10 finished presenting, the highlight that everyone had been waiting for finally arrived.
Currently, none of the other eight groups had passed. Everyone knew that the winner would definitely be chosen between Chen Che and Li Wei.
“Alright, now let’s take a look at Team 5’s work. May I ask Mr. Li, what have you prepared today?”
Upon hearing the question, Li Wei said confidently, “I made fish-flavored shredded pork, but this is different from the usual ones. There are many nutritional ingredients added. While satisfying the taste buds, it also has additional health benefits.”
“I hope that Yuelin can always be healthy. I also hope that our love can be as spectacular as this dish!”
“What Mr. Li said is really amazing. It seems that this dish also contains your love for Ms. Luo!” the host praised.
“Of course.” Li Wei smiled and looked at Luo Yuelin. “Darling, quickly try it.”
“Okay.” Li Wei’s performance was outstanding. At this moment, Luo Yuelin smiled again, and her bad mood from before was swept away.
However, under everyone’s gaze, Luo Yuelin’s expression could not help but change when she took the first bite. Then, she hurriedly spat it out and rinsed her mouth with water.
Li Wei, who was originally confident, was shocked. “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?”
Upon hearing this question, Luo Yuelin said angrily, “Try it yourself!”
Li Wei hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and tasted it. Just like Luo Yuelin, he could not help but vomit the moment the food entered his mouth.
“Why is it so salty? It doesn’t make sense.”
[Haha, you make it sound so nice, but in the end, it’s nothing!]
[That’s right, that’s right. The slap in the face came so quickly!]
[He’s good-looking but useless. It all depends on Old Chen now!]
[Hurry up and introduce Old Scrooge Chen. I can’t wait!]
[If Old Scrooge’s fried rice is also good-looking but useless, then this competition can only be in the land of the blind one-eyed man is king, the best house in a bad neighborhood, to pick the best out of a bad group, haha!]
Looking at the screen full of ridicule, Luo Yuelin was so angry that she panted. Her mood plummeted again.
Li Wei’s expression was ugly and he did not dare to say another word.
The host did not dawdle and immediately panned the camera to Chen Che.
“Now, let’s take a look at Team 7. As the last group, the netizens are very expectant of your work. Mr. Chen, introduce it to everyone!”
Chen Che smiled and used Li Wei’s words as a reference to say, “Although this is only a normal fried rice, it looks easy but is difficult to cook.”
“This is like Lin Xi and I. It’s easy for us to be together, but no one acknowledged us at the beginning.”
“But as time passes, you will slowly realize that although we are ordinary, we are very sweet.”
“Just like this rice in front of me. It doesn’t look special on the surface, but in fact, it tastes superb.”
The host smiled and nodded. “After hearing what Mr. Chen said, this ordinary fried rice instantly sublimated. It’s really meaningful!”
“But it sounds nice. Whether it’s really delicious depends on Ms. Lin’s evaluation!”
“I’ll try it now.” Lin Xi immediately scooped a little with a small plate and couldn’t wait to taste it.
As soon as she took her first bite, Lin Xi couldn’t help but praise, “Wow, it’s so delicious. It’s a hundred times better than what I ate in a fast-food restaurant!”
Luo Yuelin, who couldn’t take it anymore, took over. “Don’t talk against your conscience. If it’s not delicious, who knows if you insist on saying it’s delicious?”
When Chen Che heard this, he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, “This is easy. Everyone, try it and we’ll know if it’s true.”
Luo Yuelin snorted, looking uninterested.
Chen Che ignored Luo Yuelin and took the initiative to take out a few small plates to give to the surrounding staff and the production team.
Just like Lin Xi, after everyone tasted it, they praised his cooking.
“This fried rice is really delicious. Chen Che’s culinary skills are good!”
“That’s right. The saltiness and flavors are very good! He can be said to be at the Master level!”
“If he open a fried rice stall, it will definitely become popular!”
Hearing these words, Chen Che smiled humbly. “Everyone, you’re flattering me. I’m just a little accomplished. I can’t be compared to a true Master!”
With that, Chen Che looked at the gloomy Luo Yuelin. “Has Miss Luo replied? It can’t be that everyone is lying, right?”
Luo Yuelin snorted and did not say anything else.
Chen Che smiled and turned to look at Lin Xi. “How is it? Are you very satisfied?”
“Yes, it’s really super delicious.” Lin Xi nodded repeatedly and ate heartily.
“Don’t you think there’s another smell in here?” Chen Che asked.
“What’s the taste? I can’t tell.” Lin Xi’s face was filled with curiosity.
Chen Che grinned. “Silly, of course it’s the taste of love.”
The sudden words of love made Lin Xi blush and she said shyly, “Then let’s taste this together.”
“Okay.” Chen Che hurriedly picked up the spoon and small plate. After scooping it up, he first fed Lin Xi.
Lin Xi did not delay and also fed Chen Che.
Just like that, the two of them went back and forth with blissful smiles on their faces. They actually showed off their love on the spot, as if everything around them had become air.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the contestants in the various groups changed. They suddenly felt that compared to Lin Xi and Chen Che, they did not look like a couple at all.
...
Luo Yuelin was even more furious. She did not expect that the limelight that she had carefully prepared for the entire afternoon would be snatched away by Chen Che again.
[Hey, hey, hey. There are so many viewers. Is this appropriate?]
[That’s right. This big bowl of dog food caught me off guard!]
[It’s so sweet. I want such a boyfriend too!]
[Old Scrooge really has some skills. He won this time and won three consecutive events!]
[This is what it means to succeed!]
…
At this moment, the live-stream was in an uproar. There were various opinions.
The host was also sweetened by their actions. It took him a while to come back to his senses.
“The ten sets of dishes have all been prepared and presented. I believe the final winner is already very obvious. Family members in the live-stream, let us congratulate Team 7!”
The live-stream was instantly filled with flowery expressions. The staff at the event venue also applauded.
...
After the applause stopped, the host spoke again. “Alright, today’s event is over. Thank you for coming to participate. We’ll see you next time!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yuelin left angrily, followed by Li Wei.
The other groups did not stay any longer. They were all a little disappointed that they did not win this time.
A minute later, Luo Yuelin and Li Wei returned to the car.
As soon as the car door was closed, Luo Yuelin could no longer hold it in. She widened her eyes in anger and said, “What’s going on? Isn’t it foolproof? Give me a reasonable explanation!”
