"The longer the time waits, the more the flavor of the cuisine is affected," Samson Zhekova said. "But you can't dictate the order in which the judges taste, and you can't ask them to taste yours first."
"So what you can do is, within your ability, try to maintain the freshness of the dishes and ensure they are still within their best tasting period when being tasted."
"Your ability is to try to time it as closely as possible to the end of a round of cooking, preferably until the very last second."
"What you'll face is not social experience, but competition experience. You may have a lot of social experience, but when it comes to competition experience, you are far behind Pingla's students."
"They experience such a competition every month, so they understand how crucial the control of cooking time is."
Samson Zhekova casually tossed his cutlery aside, with no intention of tasting Quentin Woodridge's dish any further.
