490 Tasted Her Cooking
Twenty minutes later, the dishes were cooked.
Mo Rao, who was stewing tomato brisket, was slower than the others. She stared at the pot in front of her and raised her hand to look at her watch from time to time.
Qu Rou, who had already completed the task, kept glancing at Mo Rao to see what she was cooking.
She was very unhappy with Mo Rao’s actions. Everyone had found a chef to help them, but she and Xiao Yan insisted on doing it themselves.
Moreover, most of them knew about her relationship with Mo Rao and would definitely compare the two of them.
However, this way, Qu Rou had a chance of winning.
After all, she had found a chef to help her. No matter what, she should do better than Mo Rao, right?
She looked away triumphantly and waited for the judges to comment.
Other than Fu Ying and Gu Ci, there was also President Xu, the general manager of the Michelin restaurant, and Yu Ye, the senior young gourmet.
Yu Ye was a skilled chef himself. At the same time, he had tasted countless delicacies, so he became an influential gourmet.
In the previous episode, he had participated in this show and gained many fans with his superb culinary skills, humorous personality, and handsome appearance. His current popularity wasn’t inferior to that of some celebrities.
Mo Rao placed the stewed beef brisket with tomatoes into four small bowls and handed them to the judges in front of her.
“It looks delicious.” When she handed Fu Ying a bowl, he smiled. “I didn’t know you knew how to cook.”
Before Mo Rao could answer, Gu Ci, who was sitting at the side, chuckled and said in a low voice, “I was lucky enough to taste Mo Rao’s cooking. It was indeed delicious.”
Fu Ying’s hand froze and his expression turned extremely ugly. “What did you say?”
Mo Rao was afraid that the two of them would quarrel during the recording, so she quickly stopped them. “Calm down, calm down. We’re recording a show.”
Fu Ying didn’t want to embarrass Mo Rao on the show, so he could only swallow his anger. He felt that even these delicacies were no longer so tasty.
Mo Rao braced herself and handed Gu Ci the beef brisket with tomatoes she had made. Gu Ci took it with a smug smile.
She had expected this situation.
The reason why Gu Ci had eaten her food before was that when they were overseas, Gu Ci had come to look for her once and she happened to be cooking at home, so she politely invited him to eat.
However, she didn’t expect Gu Ci to still remember and “show off” in front of Fu Ying.
This gave her a headache.
The five celebrities distributed their delicacies to the four judges. Fu Ying and Gu Ci showed delighted expressions when they ate Mo Rao’s food. The rest of the time, they were expressionless.
When Qu Rou saw that two of the four judges were linked to Mo Rao, she was unhappy and said bluntly, “Director, this is unfair, right? Why are two of the judges Mo Rao’s lovers? Isn’t this unfair?!”
Upon hearing this, the director panicked. He wasn’t afraid of offending Qu Rou, but he was afraid of offending Fu Ying and Gu Ci.
“Miss Qu, President Fu and President Gu are the investors of our show!” The director hurriedly explained.
“Why? Miss Qu, you think we’re unfair?” Fu Ying put down the bowl and said coldly.
Gu Ci quickly echoed, “We’re businessmen after all. We don’t have to factor in our personal feelings on such an occasion, right? Besides, you’ve asked the chef to help you cook. Aren’t you afraid that we’ll publicize this?”
“That’s right. If this is exposed, the show will definitely be very popular. Don’t you think so, Director?” Fu Ying smiled at the director.
The director was terrified. Liu Xin and Chen Nan looked at Qu Rou in disdain.
Wasn’t she shooting herself in the foot? Everyone present understood that Fu Ying and Gu Ci were people they couldn’t afford to offend.
If they really wanted to publicize the fact that they were cheating, wouldn’t all these people who had found a chef to help be dragged into this mess?!
“Qu Rou, have you just entered the entertainment industry? You don’t know the rules at all!” Liu Xin was straightforward and glared at her angrily.
Qu Rou also realized that the situation was bad and revealed a flustered expression.
