Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 601 Winning
Several other judges also tasted Sun Mei’s custard buns and were all surprised.

Is it because of exhaustion that my inspiration has run out? Or is it because of fatigue that has caused my performance to decline?

In short, compared with her previous dishes, this coconut custard bun is indeed not outstanding.

Just... just be so-so.

At this time, Malu came up again and said, "Can you give me one?"

"Ah?" Rocky Chen was slightly stunned.

"Including the time for comments and scoring, the competition has already lasted for three and a half hours. I've been working from morning to noon and I'm hungry. These custard buns look delicious." Malu said.

"Well, it's ok. There's a lot on the plate anyway and we can't finish it." Rocky Chen said.

Malu then reached out and picked up a bunny-shaped one, took a bite, and felt the soft, cloud-like skin and the hot, liquid filling melting in his mouth.

"It's delicious." Malu praised sincerely, "It tastes like what I ate at home when I was a child. It's completely different from the frozen ones sold in the supermarket."

Rocky Chen's heart moved when he heard this, and he picked up another one and said the same thing after tasting it again.

“Indeed, if I were to say what the biggest feature of this custard bun is, it’s just everyday, nothing special about it, but it’s very comfortable to eat. At first I felt it lacked a little sweetness.

"But since we've already eaten so many strong-flavored foods today, this flavor is just right."

"Well, now that you mention it, I feel the same way." Gaggan Anand also said, "I ate two without realizing it, even though I had already tasted a lot of dishes before, and I'm not hungry at all."

“The images of these little animals are also very cute.” Yoneda Hajime said, “It reminds me of the toys my father made for me out of wood when I was a child. I really like this dish. I can feel the sincerity and simplicity in it.”

"I disagree," said Violette Huppert, "I think it's just a very ordinary home-cooked dish.

"I didn't see the originality that Chef Sun Mei had shown before in this dish. I don't deny the emotion that went into this dish, but as a contest entry, it's clearly not up to standard."

"Well, what you said, Editor-in-Chief Isabelle Huppert, makes sense." Rocky Chen said.

"Everyone has expressed their opinions sufficiently. So, Chef Sun Mei, do you have anything to say?" asked Gaggan Anand.

"No more." Sun Mei shook her head.

"Well, let's start grading."

The four judges wrote down their scores on pieces of paper and put them in a cardboard box with Sun Mei's name on it.

When Qiu Lele saw the staff start counting the votes, his heart couldn't help but hang in his arms.

At this moment, Sun He beside her stood up.

"Mr. Sun, where are you going? Don't you want to see the results?"

"The result is nothing to see. The champion is Chef Malu. Let's go and get ready. We have to go on stage to present the awards in a while."

"Oh oh oh." Qiu Lele quickly stood up and followed Sun He to the podium. As she walked, she stretched her head to look at the stage.

By the time the two of them came down to the stage, the results had already come out, and Malu once again got a full score of 5.

However, Sun Mei only got 3.25 points this time, which is the lowest score in six rounds.

The female host then said, "Let us congratulate the champion of this year's Master Chef Competition, the Asian champion - Chef Malu from the Universe Infinite Canteen!"

There was sparse applause at the scene.

Malu performed well in these six rounds, showing his superior strength that far surpassed other players.

But he was also very arrogant, always cooking with one hand, and wandering around chatting up people during the competition. He did not fit the image of a low-key and humble master in the mainstream society.

Moreover, compared to watching a big devil bullying a weak opponent, most viewers still prefer the classic plot of the weak defeating the strong and the Jedi counterattack.

Unfortunately, reality is not the passionate comics in Shonen Jump.

Even if Lao Wang only exerts 80% of his strength, he is still far superior to Sun Mei, Kawano Zhengming and others. No matter how much they struggle or burst out, they cannot change this.

After announcing the champion, the female host immediately announced the second and third place, and invited Luo Junkang to the podium.

As the president, Sun He personally stepped forward to present trophies and bonuses to the three people.

When it was Sun Mei's turn, Sun He's expression was a little complicated, but in the end he just shook hands with Sun Mei like he did with other contestants.

"Congratulations, Chef Sun Mei, you have won the second place in the Asian region of this year's MasterChef Competition with your outstanding performance.

"In addition to the trophy and prize money, you will also automatically be qualified to participate in the MasterChef World Championship according to the regulations. I hope you will perform well in the upcoming world championships."

Sun Mei said, "I lost."

"Ok?"

"I lost the agreement between us."

Sun He glanced at the cameras around him and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

"Nothing, just a few words, I can say them anywhere," Sun Mei said, "You're right, I don't hate cooking, so I will continue on this path."

A hint of surprise flashed in Sun He's eyes.

But then he heard Sun Mei say, "But I won't go back to take over Songxiangju as you expect. If I do that, I will at most become another you. I want to continue to hone myself and go further."

"How do you plan to go further?" Sun He frowned.

"I've decided to work for Chef Malu in the kitchen of the Universe Infinity Canteen."

Malu was happily asking the staff for champagne, but when he heard this, the champagne in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"what?"

Sun He's expression also changed. He didn't care that he was still on the live broadcast and blurted out, "No, that guy is not a good person."

After a pause, he added, "There's nothing wrong with his cooking skills, but I'm a little worried about him as a person."

Malu was unhappy when he heard this. He thought, "You old grandson, you say one thing in public and do another behind the scenes. You praised him so much in the beginning and tricked him into helping you teach your rebellious granddaughter a lesson."

As a result, now that the lesson has been taught, he immediately turned hostile and even escalated to personal attacks. It is so rude.

Sun He also knew that what he said was a bit inappropriate, but he was really anxious.

He has only one granddaughter. Although they have been living apart from each other for many years and their relationship is not very harmonious, his concern for this granddaughter has never changed.

Just now, in a moment of urgency, I spoke quickly and said out my true thoughts.

But even so, Sun Mei still just shook her head, "Grandpa, I have made up my mind and it will not change. Besides, I am only going to the Universe Infinity Canteen to study, not to have a relationship with Chef Malu."

"Well...I'd like to interrupt your warm conversation with your grandson," Malu finally found an opportunity and interrupted, "My restaurant has enough staff."
