His gaze shifted, sweeping over the Dean, Mrs Dean, Shopkeeper He, the master chef of Extreme Taste Restaurant, and Fan Jia. He locked eyes with each of them for a moment, his gaze profound.
"All right, let's taste Chef Niu's dish next," he announced.
Chef Niu had prepared a dish called "All Birds Return to the Nest," made primarily from shrimp and pork, shaped into little birds. Nine of these birds surrounded the central nest on the plate.
Everyone received half a bird. After tasting it, Yang Ye made a broad stroke with his pen, scoring it a nine on the paper.
The Dean, Mrs Dean, Shopkeeper He, the master chef of Extreme Taste Restaurant, and Fan Jia also gave it a nine.
The five people he chose gave it a nine.
The five people that Yang Wang chose gave it a ten.
He let out a sigh of relief.
Out of twenty people, eleven were leaning towards Qiao Xiaomai. Following this trend, Qiao Xiaomai was sure to win.
