Only those Spirit Chefs highly recognized by Fu Hang could be invited to the Beef Tasting Banquet at the Zhen Niu Pavilion.
This invitation, given in front of thousands of audience, sufficed to demonstrate Fu Hang’s level of approval for Qin Lang.
In the audience, Lei Ke, who had advanced to the second round of the elimination competition, had not yet left.
At the moment, he was looking at the younger figure in the field, his face grave.
Wen Si Tofu…
During the previous Food Recommenders’ tasting section, he was glued to the close-up on the big screen, thinking about a problem.
If he was the one to cut the tofu, could he cut it to such a degree?
Lei Ke, well aware of his own knife skills, had the answer in his heart.
No, he couldn’t.
Something he couldn’t do, yet this Spirit Chef younger than him could do.
This alone was enough for Lei Ke to take the other party seriously.
Moreover, he had previously asked someone to send a message to Fu Hang. He hasn’t gotten a reply yet, but Qin Lang had received the public invitation from Fu Hang to the Beef Tasting Banquet at the Zhen Niu Pavilion.
Lei Ke paid great attention to this banquet.
Because other Food Recommenders would also be present, and there was a good chance that Mr. Li Yuantu would appear too.
Having a good relationship with them would help a lot with Lei Ke’s entry to the next city to obtain a Second-Level Food Recommender Badge.
Now he hadn’t received an invitation yet, but Qin Lang had. The ever-competitive Lei Ke felt a surge of fighting spirit in his heart.
Qin Lang, I’m looking forward to meeting you in the third round of the rankings match.
In the field, as the three Food Recommenders who had awarded Qin Lang a Food Recommender Badge finished their comments in turn, the host, holding a microphone, spoke loudly.
“All dishes from both contestants have been tasted!”
“Now, let’s move on to the voting section!”
“Please let the eleven Food Recommenders in the field vote on the dishes of the two contestants!”
“The contestant with the highest number of votes will advance to the next round, and the one with the lowest number of votes will be eliminated!”
After introducing the voting process, the host signaled for the eleven Food Recommenders to vote in turn.
“I choose contestant Qin Lang.” The Food Recommender who was first on the left leaned into the microphone and made his choice without much hesitation.
Then came the second, the third…
All eleven Food Recommenders excelled in different types of dishes, posing different challenges to the Spirit Chefs, and had different principles and considerations for tasting dishes.
But at this moment, their voting results were surprisingly consistent.
“I also choose contestant Qin Lang.”
Ms. Zhang Ting, who was last on the right, spoke calmly, putting an end to the voting decision.
Qin Lang, eleven votes!
In the field, Zhang Chen, who was watching the Food Recommenders vote one by one, pressed his lips slightly, a look of disappointment on his face.
He had thought that Qin Lang’s participation in other competitions during the preparation period was due to underestimation.
But it turned out to be because he was too weak, not needing to go all out to prepare.
But he was not willing to accept this.
He wanted to taste, wanted to know how stunning that Wen Si Tofu really was.
“The Food Recommenders have completed the voting! Now, please let the two contestants taste each other’s dishes!”
Hearing this, Zhang Chen took out the last Seize Every Opportunity dish from his kitchen cabinet car and handed it to Qin Lang. “Seize Every Opportunity, please have a taste.”
“Wen Si Tofu, please have a taste.” Qin Lang courteously handed over the last Wen Si Tofu to Zhang Chen, then took the Seize Every Opportunity dish.
After cutting a piece and tasting it, an odd look appeared on his face.
So, that’s what “Seize Every Opportunity” means?
He could probably guess the other party’s approach.
The other side’s dishes faced off against Wen Si Tofu, it could be said that it was like hitting the muzzle of a gun.
Zhang Chen from the other side also put a bite of Wen Si Tofu in his mouth at this moment.
Then, his face appeared amazed, and this amazement quickly turned into an increasingly intense melancholy.
The gap… It’s so huge.
“Let’s congratulate contestant Qin Lang with the warmest applause for winning the final victory in the third elimination competition!”
“Gududu!”
Looking at the Star Power converging in mid-air, Dan Bao let out a cheer and started to absorb it.
The moment of the final outcome in the lvi competition segment and Food Fight, Star Power will appear.
After the two contestants absorbed the Star Power and exited the stage, the host quickly followed up, “Next, let’s invite the two contestants of the fourth elimination competition, contestant Tang Xie who came third in the Scoring Competition and contestant Bai Fang who came seventh, to enter the stage!”
The two contestants who had been waiting for the game walked slowly from the two sides of the player passage, ushering in another wave of applause and cheers.
Qin Lang, who had already returned to the audience, was surrounded by the trio.
“Oh my god! You actually made tofu sliced into hair strands!” Qi Xiaoyu couldn’t believe it till now, “This is just too amazing!”
“Just so so.” Qin Lang modestly replied.
“Congratulations on advancing.” Du Weiwei smiled and said.
“As my nemesis, victory is a matter of course.” Zhao Chen, who was standing aside with his arms crossed, had an “as it should be” expression.
Qin Lang gave a wry smile and watched the fourth elimination competition while chatting with the three.
The match between Tang Xie and Bai Fang didn’t offer much suspense either.
The competition item they drew was Limited Cuisine Theme, a common topic in Food Fights, and Tang Xie, a Food Fight veteran, had far more experience than Bai Fang.
In the end, with a score of 8:3, Tang Xie advanced to the Rankings Match with a five-point advantage.
The top four of the Scoring Competition all advanced, and the last four were all eliminated, a situation that often happened in past competitions, especially in this competition where the top four of the Scoring Competition all scored over 90 points.
“With the end of the four elimination competitions, let’s give a warm applause to welcome the four advancing players.”
“The first to advance, contestant Zhu Ming!”
“The second to advance, contestant Lei Ke!”
“The third to advance, contestant Qin Lang!”
“The fourth to advance, contestant Tang Xie!”
Every time the host read out a name, a spotlight would be cast into the player passage, following the corresponding advancing player who had been waiting for a long time to the center of the field.
“Now, let’s invite our two outstanding trainers to the stage to present the advancement reward for the elimination competition – the Starstone!”
Familiar figures walked out, bringing with them a heavily sealed metal box to the four contestants.
“Gudududu!”
Starstone!
Dan Bao’s eyes lit up in an instant.
The huge progress it had made after absorbing that Starstone when advancing in the Scoring Competition before finally made it completely fall in love with this dazzling gem like a star cloud. Now that it could absorb one more, it was too good!
Knowing that if Qin Lang could continue to advance next, it would be able to absorb even more, Dan Bao couldn’t help but cast a glance at Qin Lang.
His Spirit Chef, he definitely can do it!
Sensing Dan Bao’s thoughts, Qin Lang clenched his fists and waved in the air.
“Let’s work hard together!”
Dan Bao nodded heavily and then flew up to absorb the power of the Starstone.
After the four contestants returned the starstones, which had been completely absorbed, the host’s voice rang out again as the two outstanding trainers left the stage.
“Now, let’s draw lots for the Rankings Match!”
