Chapter 159: Confused
After four hours, after finishing the last dish, Li Xiaoran and the others couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, the clothes behind them were already wet with sweat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
I concentrated on making the food for four hours in a row, and it was a very good thing to see, both physically and mentally exhausted.
And Yoshida Liang, who was opposite Li Xiaoran and them, had also finished cooking, but now he was showing the same fatigue as Li Xiaoran and them.
Unlike in a restaurant, this kind of restaurant challenge is too intense, and it is really a big challenge for the chef.
If a restaurant with only one or two people like Hinata and them were to hold an open restaurant competition, they would probably be exhausted before the food was finished.
"Can we win?" Sitting in the rest area, looking at the screen where people were constantly grabbing ballots to vote, Liu Quansheng rubbed his face with his hand and asked Li Xiaoran, and the two people on the side were also nervous.
"How do I know?" Li Xiaoran said with a blank look.
He is not a god, how do he know if he can win, although he has absolute confidence in himself, but at this moment, Li Xiaoran can't say such a thing as victory.
Yoshida Ryo, on the other side, was also staring at the big screen tightly, dragging his head with his hands crossed.
The public restaurant challenge is not just like a normal show, and there is still any suspense, and when it is confirmed that all the people who have the right to vote have voted, the staff of the cooking organization will also begin to announce the final results.
There are 150 votes in total, so once the number of 'l' votes is announced, you can almost know who wins and who loses.
Everyone present leaned forward and held their breath.
"'L': Sixty-one votes!"
His face changed suddenly, and after Li Xiaoran heard the result, his face changed drastically, and he was silent.
Could it be that Yoshidaya's cuisine is really that good?
"How, how can you lose!"
Seeing the number of votes, not only Li Xiaoran, but also Kohei Sojin and Erina Nagi in the stands all showed a look of surprise on their faces.
Yoshidaya, on the other hand, had a happy face, and Yoshida Liang clasped his hands tightly with excitement.
'Click, click! ’
Countless shutters sounded, and the reporters present were all excitedly taking photos of both sides.
Big news!
This is big news, and it's definitely headliner.
'l' only received sixty-one votes, doesn't that mean that Yoshidaya had a total of eighty-nine votes?
The reporters and spectators present were in an uproar, before everyone guessed that the score should be closer, but now it is a full lead of more than 20 votes, almost a crushing game.
Not only their knowledge in the industry, but also the ordinary people who watch TV and online live broadcasts are incredible.
Is Yoshidaya really that powerful?
"Yoshidaya: Fifty-nine votes."
However, before everyone's surprise was over, the cooking organization then announced the number of votes for Yoshidaya.
was stunned, the audience was stunned, including Li Xiaoran and the sad Misa Sato, including Yoshida Ryoshi who was excited, and the expressions on their faces suddenly froze.
What's going on?
Isn't the total number of votes one hundred and fifty?
"Impossible, how is it possible, how can we only have fifty-nine votes? Isn't the total number of votes one hundred and fifty? ”
Without waiting for the person from the cooking organization to explain the reason, Yoshida stood up abruptly and asked loudly.
Not only Yoshida Liang, but also Li Xiaoran, as well as Kojiro Shinomiya and Erina in the stands, they were all confused.
What's going on?
How did the number of votes count less than the total number of votes by 20?
Could it be that the statistics are wrong?
Although he was also surprised by the final result, the person in charge of the counting of votes shook his head and explained: "There is no statistical error, this is the final vote, as for why there are 20 fewer votes, because someone chose to abstain." ”
Abstention?
When they heard this, all those present came to their senses.
A full 20 abstentions?
"That's right, we abstained because we couldn't agree with Yoshidaya's cuisine, but we also didn't want Yoshidaya to lose, so we abstained." From the audience judge's seat on the side, an old man walked down, and some people followed behind him.
"Mr. Kaneda......" Yoshida Ryo was suddenly stunned when he saw the comer.
Most of these people are Yoshidaya's most loyal customers, and many of them have already come to taste the food when Yoshidaya first opened, and to a certain extent, they have witnessed the growth of Yoshidaya, just like Yoshidaya.
But the current group of people is ......
"Yoshi-kun, I have to say that I originally came with excitement, but now I am disappointed, because the current Yoshidaya is not the same as before, the cuisine has changed, and the taste is indeed more delicious, but the enthusiasm for the cuisine, the enthusiasm for traditional Japanese cuisine, I can no longer feel it." Kaneda looked at Yoshida Liang and said in a deep voice.
They are Yoshidaya's most loyal diners and lovers of traditional Japanese cuisine.
"The food you made today does taste even better, but all I feel is coldness, and your enthusiasm has been lost."
Listening to Kaneda's words, Yoshida Liang couldn't help but be stunned in place.
"It's delicious, but in terms of taste, your food is better, but it's not your food, it's always imprinted on someone else, and even if you win the game, you actually lose." Looking at Yoshida Liang, who was stunned in place, he slowly stepped forward Li Xiaoran spoke.
Even Yoshida Ryo challenged himself because of Nagi Thistle, but if he didn't have this thought, he wouldn't be convinced, so although there was nothing evil, Li Xiaoran didn't have any good feelings about it.
Fang just said that sentence, but it was just Kaneda's words, but Li Xiaoran understood one point, that is, maybe simple deliciousness is not something that the chef has to abandon everything to pursue.
Still recalling what Kaneda had just said in his mind, Yoshida Liang looked at Li Xiaoran, who was surrounded by the media, and couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face.
"Chef Yoshida." The person next to Yoshida Liang comforted with a worried face.
"I'm fine, it's because I'm too persistent, although I don't think I take it too seriously, but in fact, I haven't let go." Yoshida shook his head slightly.
Yoshidaya's reputation, along with this game, should have fallen to a low point.
"But it's not too late for me to understand." Looking at Kaneda Taki and the others who left the venue, Yoshida Liang took a deep breath.
In fact, when I rejected Yoshidaya's recipe and chose to use the recipe provided by Naginagi Thistle to participate in the competition, I had already lost.
Regarding Li Xiaoran's words, Yoshida Liang did not have any resentment or the like, after all, from the beginning of the challenge or anything, it was all caused by himself.
Even Yoshida Liang is very grateful to Li Xiaoran, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid he would still be on that deviated path now.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, I saw Yoshida Liang slowly walked in front of Li Xiaoran, and then bowed. (To be continued.) )
