23 May one day
Once all the tastings have been made, the voting stage will begin.
Each of the 10 judges received 10 pearls, and they gave them to whoever they liked the dish. If you really like it, it's okay to give the same person ten pearls.
In order to ensure fairness, Long Lie and Long Xu are not eligible to vote. I could only look at the ten judges, holding the pearls tangled around.
Of these thirty graduates, only Zhong Xuanyang is a summoner, and the others are basically civilians, most of them are not from good backgrounds, and they are almost ready to engage in the chef industry in the future, so they have done their best in this graduation battle, and maybe they can change their fate in the next second.
They picked up the porcelain bowl that had been prepared from the stove, their palms couldn't help but sweat, and they looked at the pearls in the judges' hands with some eagerness, those pearls were all very valuable, and it was a huge amount of money for them to be lucky enough to get one.
This graduation ceremony, because of the special sponsorship of the wealthy Cheng family, Long Lie advocated that the cost of the prize should be lowered, just a pearl is worth 5,000 star coins, in the price level of Dragon City, this is already a few months of living expenses for ordinary families, not to mention these 100 pearls, it is enough to have 500,000 star coins.
This is Long Lie's last gift to the graduates, hoping that they will go further and further on the road of culinary arts.
Dean Jin, known as a "professional" gourmet, made the decision first, he divided the ten pearls into five equal parts, and gave them to Bei Tear, Zhong Xuanyang, Feng Gaoyi, Yao Ni, and An Xiang, which were the five most outstanding players.
This is not what Long Lie expected, Feng Gaoyi's charcoal-grilled steak, Yao Ni's mashed potato ice cream, and An Xiang's sauce pork knuckle are all dishes that are faintly in line with their temperament, so when competing on the same stage like this, it is easiest to play stably.
With the first person to eat crabs, others also chose good candidates one after another, most of them had key favorite players, such as Long Qingya gave Zhong Xuanyang five, Di Shengkai gave Feng Gaoyi four, Kang Xiao gave An Xiang three, and Long Yun gave Bei Tear and Yao Ni five each.
One of the most surprising was the young man in the golden mask, who directly gave all ten pearls to Bei Tear, and it seemed that the bowl of blue sea porridge was very much to his heart. And the mature royal sister seems to be a fraternity party, and gave ten pearls to ten people.
The rest of the judges also stepped forward one after another, in the face of such a positive vote, the audience was fascinated, the competitive culture of Dragon City is not strong, and occasionally there is such a competition, which really greatly refreshes the freshness of the audience.
And the dish with the highest demand from the audience is obviously Bihai porridge, after all, other dishes can be eaten in the restaurant, but Bei Tear, a new version that appeared for the first time, I am afraid that it will take a long time before it can be put on the table by the restaurant.
With the official end of voting, the graduates were finally relieved that each of them had received at least one pearl, which was already considered a full load, leaving a precious souvenir.
Long Lie and Long Xu stepped forward and stood in the center of the stage.
Long Yeol, who was originally about to announce the results neatly, suddenly had something to say, "Chef is a profession that brings happiness to everyone, I hope that no matter what situation you are, you can treat your chosen profession sincerely, treat every dish you do, and even if you can't become a summoner or contractor, you can shine with your cooking skills."
Long Lie curled the corners of his mouth, "When I was arrested to go to school, in order to have more time to learn cooking, I established a cooking class, all as a beautiful accident, I thought it would soon be dispersed, but it was your enthusiasm and persistence in cooking that brought me to this point, I am honored to know your group of people"
Long Xu couldn't help but say, "When you step out of the academy in the future, you will always go your own way and meet different fates, maybe there is no possibility of meeting again, but please remember this friendship in the cooking class, the cooking class will always watch over you behind your back."
"I hope that one day, I can hear about your fame and spread it all over the continent!"
The applause of the audience lasted for a long time, and the judges on the side showed a smile of relief, and the friendship will continue even after the competition.
......
1st place, 21 votes
Second place Zhong Xuanyang, 15 votes
Third place Feng Gaoyi, 12 votes
Fourth place Yao Ni, 9 votes
Fifth place An Xiang, 7 votes
Bei Tear, who heard the final result, really cried like a tearful person at this time, she waved her dry little hand, and constantly blocked the surging river, "Thank you... Thank you, Mentor Lie! I never thought about it... I can stand in such a position as an ordinary person."
Bei Tear'er spoke in a broken voice, seemingly trying her best to vent her emotions, her body was always full of the suffering of life, just like many poor households in this continent who still can't eat.
"My family... Very bad, I came to the cooking class just for that scholarship, I never thought of it...... It turns out that cooking can bring happiness and forget the pain" said that her voice was hoarse at the back, and every tear of her overflowed with piety and gratitude.
At this time, an unprecedented dazzling light burst out, which is the hope of life, and the eternal yearning for light.
This sadness of parting has infected everyone in the graduating class, and in the past five years, everyone has already become inseparable friends, but there will be an end to this day.
In this way, they went their separate ways, with confusion and ignorance, to find their own path.
"Thank you, Boss Lie, for your teaching in the past five years"
"Joining the cooking class was the happiest decision for me"
"Boss Lie, come back to see us often!"
In the past thirteen years, the boy who was called "incomplete soul", through imitation and observation, has been able to familiarize himself with various expressions such as smiling, angry, sad, and rolling his eyes according to the corresponding occasion.
But listening to these words at this moment, Long Lie's brain was rarely blank, and for the first time, he didn't know what kind of expression to make, and he returned to his expressionless appearance like a dead machine, this was an unprecedented strange occasion, he always felt that something was blocked in his heart, and he obviously wanted to call it out, but he was cut off by force.
In the end, only the various expressions of Fengyun were distorted on that face, Long Lie hurriedly lowered his head, at this moment he finally understood that he really had no emotion, even if he tried his best to imitate his demeanor, he couldn't empathize with him.
Those unfamiliar things that were blocked burned in his heart for a long time, full of unwillingness.
Long Lie finally raised his head and showed a big smile, when he didn't know what to do, as long as he laughed, there should be no problem......
This empty and lonely smile fell into the star screen and engraved in the hearts of all the audience.
It is so beautiful that it is desolate, and it captures the light of heaven and earth, which is enough to fade all things.
A ruthless teenager who is clumsily courting the world.
