Chapter 374 Winning Rewards
——Teyvat
Liyue Harbor, Yujing Terrace.
"So Iya was invited as a special guest."
Ying suddenly realized.
Jun Bai smiled helplessly and said, "It's the end."
"She volunteered to be the special guest, and when she left, she begged me to let her take care of Yiya."
[Guizhong: Are you not happy to help you take care of your children? ]
[If I can help Jun Bai take care of the children, I can even marry Keqing! ]
[It is forbidden to have both. 】
After introducing the judges on the jury, Ning Yao continued to introduce the scoring rules for this competition:
There are five judges and two special guests in total. When scoring each contestant's work, fifteen audience judges will also be selected from the audience.
The scores of special guests are for reference only and are not included in the score.
Of course, it can only be used as a reference. Otherwise, people with this kind of character who only help their relatives and not others will basically just cause trouble.
So a total of twenty judges will score the works, and the one with the highest score will be today's champion.
Ying, Paimon, Junbai and the audience applauded.
"Ms. Ning Yao is such a great host, she is worthy of being the former deputy manager of Fengdeng Tower."
Ying sighed as she looked at Ning Yao who was showing her grace on the field.
"Her skills are beyond your imagination, otherwise Chen Yuan would not let her sit in Lu Yueguifeng's position on the upper floor."
Jun Bai said.
"So it's not because they are related?"
"Don't say this in front of Chen Yuan. He's thin-skinned."
Paimeng was thinking about the judges: "Do you think it's possible that I will be picked?"
【Eat what's in your bowl, but think about what's in other people's pots. 】
[As expected of Paimon, he never loses his character at any time and always maintains his nature as a foodie. 】
"This is not a simple matter."
Jin Chen on the side said:
"Did you see the numbers on the seats? When the scoring starts later, Miss Ning Yao will turn the lottery mechanism on her hand."
"The lottery agency will only draw fifteen people from the tens of thousands of seats now. One round for each contestant, that's only sixty people."
"Compared to the current number of people, sixty is still a little insufficient."
"As long as there is a chance, you can't give up."
Paimon said with a firm look in her eyes. Isn't it just 60? She believed that she would have that kind of luck!
If there is no other choice, Paimeng also believes in Ying's luck.
If Ying's luck is bad, then we can only...
Paimeng stole a glance at Jun Bai, and then Jun Bai predicted his intention and decided to defend him alone:
"No, that's unfair to the other three contestants."
Jun Bai naturally had the ability to arrange for Paimeng to be the judge on the spot, and even allow her to be selected repeatedly.
Apart from anything else, the prototype of the lottery mechanism was created by Guizhong, and Guizhong and anyone who has seen the design drawings can tamper with it.
But Paimon accompanied Xiangling all the way and gave her guidance. Let alone asking her to rate the whole process, even if she were to rate once, it would be unfair to the other three.
[Paimeng is only good at eating, and the first thing she thought of was Jun Bai, who could help her cheat.]
[Jun Bai: The God of Contract is watching from above, don't even think about doing anything that violates the rules.]
[The scores of the special guests Yiya and Guizhong were not included in the score calculation, probably because of this consideration. 】
[Yiya accompanied Xiangling to eat all the way there. Xiangling's master Ping'er has a good relationship with Guizhong, so they really have to avoid suspicion.]
Finally, Ning Yao began to announce the prizes for the winners of this competition:
"In this year's Chef King Competition, the winner will receive a championship prize of 10 million Mora!"
Duo Shao? Ten million!
Ying Yuan noticed it and opened his eyes wide in shock.
No one told me about this! If they told me, wouldn't I just participate in the competition and compete with Xiangling in the finals?
Ying just felt filled with regret, having lost 10 million Mora!
"Ten million Mora? It's worthy of being jointly organized by three parties. It's really generous." Jin Chen's eyebrows jumped when he heard the amount.
It would take a long time of escort work to earn this much money!
"Eh? There are 10 million Moras?" Paimeng stomped his feet in anger, "Ah, if I had known earlier, I would have let you participate, Ying."
Jun Bai smiled and said, "Oh, if Ying participates in the competition, Xiangling will have a strong competitor for the championship."
[Boss Jun, you know how to rub salt into wounds. ]
[Don't even mention the game, I feel heartbroken outside of reality. My character is in urgent need of Mora! ]
Ning Yao continued:
"In addition, the final winner can also choose to study at the Guiliji headquarters in Fengdeng Tower for a month."
"Depending on your performance, you may even be hired directly~"
This was a common practice, so it did not cause any commotion in the audience.
The four players on the field simultaneously ignited their fighting spirit.
Xiangling and Yanxiao want to improve their cooking skills. After all, Xiangling's dream is Wanmin Hall, and Yanxiao will not betray Ningguang.
The other two wanted to go to work in Fengdeng Building.
It's a pure "bird chooses a good tree to sleep on" idea. The treatment in Fengdeng Tower is far better than that in Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion.
The thousand-year-old brand is trustworthy.
"If the contestant also represents a restaurant in Liyue, the winner can also represent the restaurant to win the right to sell mooncakes from Fengdenglou during the Moon Festival."
This is the compensation from Fengdenglou to the restaurant.
After all, sometimes, Fengdenglou would really abduct chefs who came here for further training.
If someone is kidnapped, then this is equivalent to compensation.
If the person wasn't kidnapped, then it will help relieve the sales pressure on Fengdeng Building.
Liuli Pavilion and Xinyuexuan came here for this reason. It doesn't matter who the chef is. The profit brought by the agency rights of Fengdenglou mooncakes is important to the two restaurants.
Just like the contestants representing the two families now are actually not from Liuliting and Xinyuexuan.
Instead, he found helpers in Qingce Village and Guiliji.
If we win the championship, people will come to Fengdenglou, and the fame and wealth will be taken by the two hotels, which is a win-win situation.
After announcing the winning rewards, Ning Yao began the final preparations before the start of the competition:
"Now, please enter the venue."
"Please follow me in making an oath: As a finalist in this year's Chef King Competition, I will do my best to complete the competition process fairly."
The four contestants took the oath one after another.
Different from Xiangling and Yanxiao's calm and confident appearance, the representatives from Liuliting and Xinyuexuan seemed very nervous from the beginning.
He stumbled when taking the oath and it was not smooth at all.
[These two have withdrawn from the competition early. ]
[This is really a tension that can be seen with the naked eye. ]
[It seems that the champion will be born between Xiangling and Yanxiao. ]
【Combined with the plot, Xiangling has a high chance of winning. 】
Jun Bai in the audience couldn't help but sigh at the powerful force of fate. Even though the plot of the Moon-Chasing Festival had collapsed to this extent, it still developed in the same way as the original plot.
The one who was nervous in the original plot was Yan Xiao, but now it became these two passers-by NPCs who didn't even appear in the game who were nervous.
What will happen next?
"Thank you all for coming to the finals of this year's Chef Championship. I am Tianquan Ningguang."
"On behalf of the organizers, I propose the keyword for this year's finals: Land and Water Ceremony."
"The rules are simple. The winner takes it all. The dishes can either please the judges or win the hearts of everyone on the field with their own skills."
Ningguang stood up from the judges' seat and made a domineering speech.
"Thank you for your speech, Master Ningguang. I declare that this year's Moon Festival Chef Championship has officially begun!"
