After tasting all the dishes from other booths, Li Yicai returned to the Huaxia booth.

I have to say that although the strength of Chinese cuisine is overwhelming, the strength of other countries should not be underestimated.

The quality of each participating team is good, some are quite bold in seasoning, some are very the heat, and they all have their own special skills.

Among them, a smoked steak that has been slowly grilled for more than ten hours by the national team tastes quite good, and Li Yi can't help but eat a few more pieces.

After tasting it as a whole, Li Yi objectively judged that the overall strength of Chinese cuisine was indeed better than that of all the other countries present.

But in a separate category, the strength of other countries is not bad, and it has not been completely crushed.

Part of the reason why the Huaxia team is so popular here is also because it has participated again for decades, which has aroused the curiosity of the audience.

In addition, it is also related to the attention guidance formed after the early publicity creates a hot topic.

It's just that for Li Yi, although the dishes of these countries are not bad, they have not brought him any surprises in terms of techniques.

There are many masters of the participating teams from various countries present, but even the dishes of the national team are all at the level of ingredients and seasoning.

The so-called foie gras is actually no different from the method of filling duck fattening in China, and the method is only fried in butter, and there is no special skill.

Baked snails are a bit interesting, but there is no way to make snails in China in terms of method.

There is an ant sauce in Moxigo's cuisine, which tastes very interesting, and it is similar to the earthworm sauce displayed in the country.

However, these are still foods made with local special ingredients, and the preparation method is nothing more than adding these special ingredients to the original sauce.

In terms of technique, none of the participating teams showed anything that made Li Yi feel bright and worth learning.

This made Li Yi disappointed, but also felt a feeling of being alone and seeking defeat.

A competition that gathers the world's culinary masters, but no one is worthy of his shot?

But after thinking about it, he was also relieved.

After all, not everyone can be like him, who has hundreds of years of cooking experience and inherited the skills of countless top culinary masters.

If someone can make him feel amazed or even ashamed of his skills, it should be a horror story.

But since I've been here for all, it's not in vain to be able to experience the cuisine of so many countries in one place.

And in terms of ingredients and seasonings, the dishes of these countries are also unique.

From these tips, Li Yi has also gained something.

At the Huaxia booth, the chefs were already tired.

Although it was already afternoon, there was still an endless stream of diners in front of the booth.

It wasn't until five o'clock in the afternoon that the well-fed diners began to gradually leave, and the pressure on the Huaxia booth gradually decreased.

The program ended at 6 p.m., and staff were already on the radio reminding diners to vote.

In the center of the exhibition hall hangs a TV stand, above which four TVs are hung, showing the votes of each national team in four directions.

On the TV screen, the number of votes of the Huaxia team has been unique, like a rocket, leaving all the other teams far behind.

Seeing this scene, the national teams were not surprised, but took it for granted.

Just rushing to this day, the number of diners queuing up on the Huaxia team's side, the victory of the Huaxia team is also obvious.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the chairman of the competition judges came to the scene and announced the results of the competition.

There was no suspense, the Huaxia team won the first place in the buffet event of the team competition and won the first gold medal.

As the captain of the Huaxia team, Li Yi came to the podium on behalf of all the chefs and wore the gold medal of the Culinary Olympiad, which symbolizes the pinnacle of world culinary skills.

Reporters from various countries at the scene included this scene in the camera, and the flashes were connected.

In the CCTV live broadcast room, the audience who has been waiting until now is also swiping the screen with a barrage, and the screen is full of "deserved".

In the audience, all the chefs of the national teams were applauding and congratulating the results of the Chinese team.

The level of the dishes of the Huaxia team is obvious to all, and everyone present has tasted it.

To get this gold medal, all the teams have no opinion.

Looking at Li Yi on the stage, all the chefs of the Huaxia team were also applauding vigorously, very excited.

Although more than 20 years ago, the Chinese team also participated in the competition, but did not win a medal in the team competition buffet event.

This is the first time that the Chinese team has won the gold medal in the buffet event of the team competition, and this honor is won by their own hands.

Although they couldn't get on the podium with Li Yi, they didn't complain.

They know very well that although Li Yi did not personally participate in the production of dishes today, Li Yi's contribution to this honor is the greatest.

If Li Yi hadn't personally guided them in the previous two months and helped them conduct a series of special trainings, their cooking skills would definitely not have reached the current level.

And this gold medal will most likely not reach the hands of the Huaxia team.

Li Yi is the only core of the Huaxia team, and they know this all too well.

Although the dishes they presented today look relatively homely, they are full of countless details that are not visible to the layman, and the difficulty of making them is far higher than everyone thinks.

And these dishes are all from Li Yi's hands and designed by him himself.

The two-month training, to put it bluntly, is actually practicing the dishes taught to them by Li Yi repeatedly.

But even after two months of training, there is a certain gap between the level of the dishes they make and the level of Li Yi's hand-made dishes.

They all knew very well that if it weren't for Li Yi's lack of skills, one person would not be able to provide dishes for so many diners, otherwise Li Yi wouldn't need them at all, and he would be able to make these dishes by himself, and he would do it better than them.

In the entire team, the role they play is actually Li Yi's right-hand man.

All they did was to make the dishes that Li Yi needed according to Li Yi's requirements.

Therefore, when they saw Li Yi standing in the spotlight, they only felt honored and lucky.

Li Yi did not forget them, after receiving the medals, he pointed in the direction of the Huaxia team, returned to the team with the cameras of various national media, and shook hands and hugged each chef.

This glory does not belong to him alone, but to all the team members, and it belongs to all Chinese people.

The joy of winning diluted everyone's fatigue from the day, so much so that when they returned to the hotel, everyone was still excited, and there was no sleepiness at all.

On the way back to the hotel, the medal was already taken away by them.

Everyone took a photo wearing a medal, posted it on Moments and Weibo, and happily accepted the praise and encouragement of relatives, friends and netizens.

It wasn't until late at night, after the excitement had passed, that the tiredness of the day swept over again, and they hurriedly washed up and went to bed.

When I woke up, everyone regained their energy and was in full condition.

Yesterday's victory gave everyone a lot of confidence, and the tension before the game seemed to have dissipated.

The buffet event in the team competition is the toughest battle in the competition, and after this battle, they have nothing to fear.

Follow-up hot dish kitchen, chef's table and other projects, they are not stressful.

Because of these projects, Li Yi will personally take action!
