Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 587 Promotion
As the countdown on the big screen reached zero, the female host immediately announced the end of the second round of competition.

After this, even if you receive snack coupons again, they will not be counted. The staff then began to count the snack coupons that each chef received in this round of competition.

At this moment, Cui Junxian felt his mind go blank and stared at the remaining half plate of fried rice cakes in front of him.

He simply couldn't accept what was happening before his eyes.

He actually lost!
The most important thing is that he failed in the second round. You know, he participated in this chef competition with such honors as the youngest three-star chef in South Korea and the last disciple of Ferran Adria.

He also plans to take advantage of the popularity of winning the championship to open another branch restaurant in Shanghai.

It would have been fine if they just lost, but the loss was so ugly. Not only will the plan to open a new restaurant be shelved, but the business of the old restaurant Wing will also be affected.

The average customer spending per person at Wing is as high as 46 won, which is extremely expensive even in Myeongdong, where every inch of land is valuable.

The reason why Choi Jun-hyun dares to charge such a high price is not only because the food he makes is delicious, but also closely related to his personal experience and fame over the years.

Thinking of this, Cui Junxian couldn't help but punch the cooking table, scaring the staff who were counting the votes nearby.

However, the staff member finally counted the snack coupons in the basket conscientiously.

"There are 96 in total. Unfortunately, Chef Choi Jun-hyun, you didn't make it through this round."

The official simultaneous interpreter conveyed the news to Cui Junxian.

Cui Junxian wanted to slap himself right now. Why did he go looking for millipedes in the middle of the journey?

Because if he had not gone to find Malu, he would not have spent four snack coupons to buy four pork chop rice cakes from the latter in order to prove that his pork chop rice cakes were better than Malu's.

The irony is that he is now just four tickets away from advancing.

Ashley!
…………

Malu was the last person to qualify.

There was no other reason, it was simply because he had too many snack coupons, so the staff took the longest to count them.

He confirmed it twice before finally announcing that he had won a total of 317 snack coupons in this round.

After this result was revealed, the whole audience was in an uproar again.

The main reason is that these snack coupons were obtained in exchange for discounts. In the previous competitions, everyone has seen Malu's hand speed and his ability to operate multiple lines, and they also know that he has received a lot of snack coupons.

But it is only now that I have a more intuitive understanding of his hand speed.

In addition to Malu, another person who successfully advanced this time was Kawano Masaaki, who was making tempura from beginning to end. Thanks to his various kinds of tempura, he finally got 100 snack coupons.

In addition, after Luo Junkang's seafood lion head was copied by Malu, he quickly adjusted the menu. While selling the remaining seafood lion head, he developed new snacks and successfully advanced before the last ten minutes.

Sun Mei relied on the unique snacks of ethnic minorities. Although the flow of people was not as good as the most popular stalls, it had a stable customer base and no competitors, so it passed this round of competition smoothly.

Master Luang Pu Sen insisted on making vegetarian food this time, mainly vegetables and fruits. It seemed a little unattractive among the many snacks, but it sold surprisingly well.

This is mainly because the public judges had 5 snack coupons in their hands. After eating various combinations of carbohydrates and fats, many people were a little resistant to meat and fried food.

At this time, a vegetable bowl is very refreshing and nutritionally balanced. Therefore, in the second half, Master Luang Pu Sen's vegetable bowls sold better and better. However, as the oldest among all the contestants, Master Luang Pu Sen's physical strength is not as good as other chefs.

After making about fifty servings, he became a little tired and his speed slowed down. It is said that his restaurant has been open and closed over the years, and even when it was open, it received no more than twenty customers a day.

In the end, Master Luang Pu Sen still failed to make 100 vegetable bowls within the specified time and was unable to enter the next round.

He seemed very calm about this.

He clasped his hands together, thanked the staff and diners who patronized the snack stand, and then went back to his room to rest with the help of his disciples.

The biggest upset this time, apart from Choi Joon-hyun being eliminated, was the "Internet celebrity chef" Ki Sun-joo, who actually made it through all the way to the final round.

Thanks to her fried fish cakes, she had easily collected 100 snack coupons half an hour ago and was the first among all the chefs to advance.

In addition to the chefs and Malu mentioned above, two other chefs also passed this round of competition, one from Thailand and one from Singapore.

In the end, only 7 people entered the third round, which is the lowest number in all the previous MasterChef competitions.

After the game, Malu also prepared to go back to his room to rest.

David wanted to follow, but was stopped by Yu Yitong, "Forget it, there's nothing to film. Let him rest for a while, and we should rest for a while too, because there's another big battle tomorrow."

David was a little puzzled. "Boss, didn't you say that our job for the next three days is to follow Boss Ma closely? Wherever he goes, we go. Even if we are despised or driven away, we have to shamelessly continue to follow him?"

"Did I say that?" Yu Yitong was startled, "Well, but the filming should not affect the players' rest.

"After all, only if he wins the MasterChef competition can our filming and interviews be of the greatest value."

“Don’t mention it. I think Boss Ma has a pretty high chance of winning the title of Chef God,” David said excitedly.

“In the past 30 or so MasterChef competitions, most of the champions came from Europe and the United States, and only Japan has produced a MasterChef in Asia, although this has something to do with the judges’ preferences.

"Besides, chefs from our country have only participated in the last four competitions, but if Boss Ma can win, it should be able to shut some people up."

"Let's take it one step at a time. It's too far away to think about the World Championship now." Yu Yitong said.

Malu returned to the room, took off his chef's uniform, and placed Mini Lao Wang on the coffee table. His right hand was still shaking at this time.

Although this round of competition lasts only half as long as the previous round, the intensity is several times higher. Yesterday, Millipede was only busy for half an hour at most.

But today he worked intensively for the full 90 minutes. Even though Lao Wang was controlling him, his hands were still Malu's own.

Boss Ma used to slack off in the restaurant every day, and he had never used his hands so intensively, so he had a few cramps after the game.

This is also the reason why he didn't even bother to pretend and went straight back to his room.

Otherwise, no matter how busy he is, he will go to Cui Junxian and teach him how to make delicious pork chop rice cakes.

But it was worth it to send Choi Jun-hyun away in the second round. That guy will probably have nightmares for several nights after returning home.
