Ling Zhenfei had been observing very carefully just now; this male judge hadn't really eaten anything, just a piece of beef, while the female judge was watching very closely.

The female judge said, "I think we Michelin judges should judge properly and not tarnish the reputation of our Michelin panel. Regardless, I think this chicken fillet is the best I've ever had, the steak is nothing new."

The surrounding onlookers let out a gasp of surprise because saying it's the best chicken fillet is simply not easy; after all, Michelin judges have tasted so many delicacies.

Zheng Feng said from the side, "No matter, anyway, the voting is done, this time we won. Let's start judging the next dish."

Ling Zhenfei felt slightly frustrated; it seemed there were profit-driven people among the Michelin judges too, and with Zheng Feng's confidence, clearly, there must be issues among these people.

Take this male judge for instance, his conduct was not acceptable, not even pretending, it was too blatant.

But just as unexpectedly, the female judge was so straightforward; if everyone were as righteous as this female judge, that would be great.

At this moment, the female judge stood up and said to the people beside her, "I know this competition seems insignificant to you.

But we carry the halo of Michelin; without this halo, no one would invite you as judges. Therefore, I hope you won't disgrace the name of Michelin."

The female judge's words made many people lower their heads, obviously feeling guilty.

At this moment, Zheng Feng knew things weren't going well, and quickly said, "What's with all the talk? Let's start with the next dish; if we wait any longer, it won't taste as good."

Ma Long also said, "Yes, regardless of the result, let's begin the second dish now. Both sides have fish, so let's vote on these two fish dishes."

The judges had tasted both fish dishes already, one being Zheng Feng's Bluefin Tuna, the other Ling Zhenfei's Purple Spirit Carp.

Voting began at that moment, and Zheng Feng was very confident. With the world's best ingredient, the top-class Bluefin Tuna, both color and taste were of high grade.

The tuna was paired with caviar; it looked beautiful and tasted delicious, especially with the support of Master Gu Li, making this dish even more delightful.

However, the result was quite unexpected, the vote count was eight to two, with Ling Zhenfei winning by a considerable margin, leaving everyone stunned.

The crowd gasped; earlier, everyone was amazed at the sight of that Bluefin Tuna and the accompanying caviar, mouth-watering.

But who would have thought that the result would be so surprising? So how delicious must this Purple Spirit Carp be to make so many judges find it tastier?

Among the two votes for Zheng Feng was the male judge from before.

The male judge's expression wasn't good, yet he remained silent.

Then the female judge said, "The taste of this fish has surpassed our understanding of deliciousness; it's just too delightful.

The exterior is slightly grilled to lock in the flavor inside, paired with red sauce, it's incredibly tasty. This is the best dish I've tasted this year."

Everyone looked at the remaining pieces of fish on the table, all eager to know just how tasty this fish could be.

Zheng Feng found it hard to believe, first incredulous that his Bluefin Tuna with caviar could fail; it was the most assured dish he had.

Gu Li was also very surprised, unable to imagine how a carp could become something significant, but upon seeing the unremarkable-looking fish that Ling Zhenfei had made, he was very curious.

Ma Long said, "Alright, this round's winner is Mr. Ling. I also tasted Mr. Ling's fish earlier, and, what can I say, I had never had anything like it. Despite having tasted dishes from over sixty countries,

this was the best fish I've ever eaten; it's unfathomable how a Huaxia person could use a Western method to cook a fish so deliciously, overturning my perspective.

It seems in the realm of eating and cooking, we Huaxia people are still at the forefront of the world. Now the competition stands at one to one, let's proceed to this dish.

This dish is Zheng Feng's Rainbow Lobster and Mr. Ling's Crystal Lotus Root. They seem not to be on the same level; if you let ordinary people choose between the two, they would surely pick lobster.

But today we choose by taste, taste decides everything. We've tasted chicken fillet, beef, salmon, carp, let's now try lobster and lotus root."

Zheng Feng appeared very calm, just like Ma Long mentioned earlier; if you put the two dishes in front of anyone, they would choose the lobster.

If a lobster and a lotus root were placed together, anyone picking the lotus root must be a fool.

The judges are not fools, of course, they wouldn't choose lotus root and give up lobster.

Cao Xueyi was extremely nervous, not knowing when she held Ling Zhenfei's hand, even she was unaware, not knowing what the result would be.

Actually, when Ling Zhenfei was cooking, Cao Xueyi was also stunned, looking at what Zheng Feng made and then what Ling Zhenfei made, the two were simply not on the same level.

Zheng Feng used only the finest ingredients, while Ling Zhenfei's ingredients seemed rather humble.

Chicken, carp, and lotus root, it was almost incredible that it received the judges' praise, the chicken was called the best chicken fillet, and the fish was named the tastiest fish this year.

Now it comes down to the lotus root, wondering if this lotus root can continuously amaze people.

Ma Long said, "Let's start voting, between lobster and lotus root, how to choose?"

Everyone shouted out this time because nine people chose the lotus root slice, with the only vote for lobster coming from that male judge earlier.

After a collective gasp, silence descended; no one expected the lotus root slice to make a stunning comeback.

"Impossible, impossible, you must have been bribed by them, how can a lotus root slice defeat my lobster? What a joke, is there any comparison between lobster and lotus root?"

Zheng Feng found it hard to accept the fact, yelling directly.

And there was someone even more unable to accept it, that was Gu Li; he was very confident before, never imagining he would lose.

Although it was said that Zheng Feng made the dish, he was assisting, essentially cooking it himself, a Michelin two-star chef, losing in a cooking competition, it was simply unbelievable.

At this time, Gu Li suddenly stood up, went to the table, picked up a pair of unused chopsticks, and reached for the jade lotus root slice.

This lotus root of Ling Zhenfei's wasn't quite the same as others, possibly from soaking in Spirit Spring Water for too long, it had mutated, and there were only three holes on this lotus root.
