Little Taotie ate slowly and gracefully, looking elegant and luxurious, but the steak was disappearing quite fast.
By the time everyone realized what was happening, only a spotlessly clean bone remained, with not a shred of meat left on it.
At the other seven food critics’ tables, more than half of their steaks were still intact, which spoke volumes of Little Taotie’s elegant yet voracious eating ability.
Little Taotie held up her sign, a perfect score of 10!
The chef smiled happily and brought out two more plates of tomahawk steaks from under the table.
"Thank you, Zaizai, I’m your fan, I know you haven’t had enough, here, have some more!"
And thus, Little Taotie was fed again.
The chef was a fanboy of Little Taotie’s father, seeing Little Taotie eat with joy made him smile contentedly, much like any old father who feels happy seeing their child with a good appetite.
Although Little Taotie was given special treatment, the other seven food critics were not envious at all; in fact, they were struggling with the large tomahawk steak in front of them and had no desire for such preferential treatment.
What was seen as special treatment for Little Taotie was definitely a disaster for them.
Fortunately, the show didn’t require them to finish everything, Teacher Li put down their knife and fork and held up their sign—9 points.
Shortly after, Ji Guang also held up his sign—9.5 points.
One by one, the judges raised their signs, and after removing the highest and lowest scores, the final average was—9.6 points.
This was already a very high score, currently second only to the female chef who served lobster three ways.
The fanboy father was very satisfied, grinning at Little Taotie, "Zaizai, can I take a photo with you? Can I get an autograph with your Seal?"
The favored Little Taotie, of course, fulfilled his modest wish, curving her brows and forming shallow dimples as she made a heart with her fingers towards the camera.
The fanboy dad used an instant camera, and as soon as the photo was taken, it immediately started printing. Little Taotie used the exclusive Seal of Little Beast Bai Bai to leave an autograph on the photo.
She had already learned to sign her own name, but her brother had said that since she was using a seal, she should always use the seal in the future.
Little Taotie thought this was a good idea, too; after all, the Little Beast Bai Bai was so cute, and its Seal looked even better.
The scores for the dishes presented by the following chefs weren’t all that high, 8 points, 7 points—none were particularly outstanding.
Finally, contestant number 20.
That is, the original contestant number 44.
The tray was placed on the tables of the eight food critics, covered with a lid.
Teacher Li joked, "It’s not going to be egg fried rice again, is it?"
Contestant 20 scratched his head sheepishly, "I’ve already done it twice, if I do it for the third time, the Assistant Director might beat me up."
The Assistant Director felt slandered and shouted through the megaphone, "You’re slandering me, watch out or I’ll dock your points!"
Contestant 20 gave a sheepish smile and made a face at Teacher Li, eyes conveying, ’See? The Assistant Director is so petty!’
Teacher Li got the hint and laughed mischievously.
The frustrated Assistant Director stomped her foot, "I’m not giving Contestant 20 any special editing anymore!"
The Assistant Director tried to calm down, "Cool it, the editing is already done, if you cancel now, the editor will go mad."
The Assistant Director shuddered, remembering the hot-tempered editor, and resignedly said, "Alright, since it’s already edited, let it be."
The preview video for contestant 20 was released, showing the entire process of making egg fried rice.
Netizens expressed disdain: What’s so special about egg fried rice?
But they were soon proven wrong!
When they saw Little Taotie enjoying the dish, the netizens thought: It actually looks really good!
Someone followed contestant 20’s steps to make egg fried rice at home and was blown away by how amazing it turned out!
