Fifth Update.
…
Afanti nodded in agreement. Then, this competition was considered official.
"Please announce it!"
Qin Fang immediately signaled to the host, who had been left hanging on the stage for a long time and had an awkward expression.
"Good, good, good … Now, I announce the start of the finals!
One round to determine the winner … "
The host was finally able to say something.
Ever since Qin Fang went on stage, the host had been standing there like a block of wood. He did not even dare to let out a fart.
This could not be helped. After all, he was acquainted with Qin Fang.
When Fang Feixue opened for business, he was dragged by a friend. He did not expect to encounter such a scene. He was really scared of Qin Fang.
To be able to do well in the entire underground world of Ninghai, the bosses of both sides gave him face. This was not something an ordinary person could do.
Not to mention, they were even more powerful on the legal side. The heads of the city bureau were all present. Later, people from the provincial government came as well. Even Secretary Tang was there. He couldn't afford to offend such people.
On the other side, Afanti was a minority. In a country like Long Province, there was a saying: First class foreigner, second class official, third class minority, fourth class Han.
People from minority ethnic groups were difficult to deal with. Even if they caused trouble, they would be dealt with in a low-key manner. These people even dared to openly stab people with knives.
At this time, seeing Afanti angrily looking at Qin Fang, as if there was a deep hatred, it would be strange if a small host like him dared to bare his teeth.
Not to mention him, even the few judges above did not dare to make a sound after getting the hint.
With the host's official announcement, the competition was officially announced.
Afanti represented himself. After leaving White Jade Lake, he had set up a barbecue stall. He was self-employed. However, such a self-employed person could not even set up an official stall here. He could only compete with his fellow countrymen. Naturally, it was impossible to set up a name like a hotel or restaurant.
Qin Fang represented Fang Feixue.
Relatively speaking, Fang Feixue was now quite famous. Even though it had not been open for long, its business had always been very good. This was especially true for the "Exquisite Seven Orifices", which was only sold for ten cents a day. It needed to be booked a long time in advance. If one wanted to eat it on the same day, one could only dream of it.
If you want to rely on your status as a high-ranking official, then I'm sorry, just get out of here, unless you're the Provincial Party Secretary of Jiangnan Province …
In short, after a few days of publicity, Fang Feixue was completely famous in Ninghai, especially with all kinds of exquisite specialties that made it even more famous.
There were even some star-rated hotels that had specially sent people over to learn from him or steal his skills. There were even some that had tried to poach him. However, they had no choice but to return in disappointment.
Back to the main topic.
Although this competition didn't represent anything, Qin Fang and Afandi didn't want to lose.
Afandi wanted to defeat Qin Fang. In addition to defending his title, as long as Qin Fang helped Fang Feixue win a championship, it would be a bonus in the following elite competition.
The competition began, and both contestants began to choose their ingredients.
Usually, in this kind of competition where the winner was determined in one round, both sides would choose what they were best at. For example, Afandi looked and immediately chose a lamb leg.
The lamb leg wasn't very thick, but it was much sturdier than the chicken leg and duck leg. It was very difficult to roast, so it tested the skills of the barbecue masters.
Of course, if it weren't for the time and venue constraints, perhaps Afandi would have chosen the more difficult roasted lamb. That was a skill that only true masters could play with.
Qin Fang looked and smiled indifferently. He was too lazy to choose. Seeing that Afandi had chosen the lamb leg, he also took a lamb leg.
His action immediately attracted the unanimous applause of the audience.
Not for anything else, but for the same ingredients, this kind of competition was the most fair. Good or bad, victory or defeat, could be easily judged. This also prevented the possibility of the judges manipulating the competition, even if the possibility was very small.
Qin Fang didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he seriously looked at Afandi for a while. He looked at Afandi's every movement, every time he added seasonings, the amount, the ratio, and the time he grasped when he flipped over. He looked at it very carefully and thoroughly.
However, this result made Qin Fang slightly disappointed. Afandi's memory of roasting was much better than the time when he was defeated by Qin Fang.
Moreover, these few months, he must have seriously practiced and carefully pondered, so his level had improved considerably.
If Afandi's roasting level was equivalent to Beginner Cooking at 90% +, then now it was equivalent to Intermediate Cooking at 20% +.
This was already a qualitative leap, so it was no wonder that Afandi was so confident.
When Qin Fang defeated him, he had just stepped into Intermediate Cooking, and Wen Yi had just stepped into Intermediate Cooking not long ago. Her current proficiency was only at 5%.
Thus, there was a very direct comparison. Without a doubt, in terms of roasting memory, Afandi completely won against Wen Yi.
However, compared to Qin Fang's Intermediate Cooking at 97%, the gap was huge. It was even bigger than the gap between Afandi and Wen Yi.
At this point in the competition, Qin Fang already knew the result. There was no need to continue the competition.
After thinking for a while, Qin Fang put the lamb leg on the charcoal fire to roast. The area wasn't very big, so much so that there was no way to flip it over. However, Qin Fang continued to roast it. When it was time to change the fire, when it was time to add seasonings, when it was time to add oil, when it was time to add oil …
After about three minutes, this piece of lamb meat was already emitting a faint aroma.
It had to be said that the organizers this time were really showy. They even specially prepared a small trophy for each individual champion, which was now placed on the rostrum.
At this point in the competition, the final champion was either Afandi or Qin Fang. The trophy would belong to whoever won.
Qin Fang was really quite domineering. After he finished roasting the lamb leg, he threw it on the plate. He didn't even look at Afandi and directly strode to the rostrum. Under the gaze of the host, judges, and hundreds of spectators, he picked up the trophy and directly walked to the exit of the competition.
As for Fang Feixue's people, they didn't hesitate. Under the leadership of the four beauties, Tang Feifei, Xiao Muxue, Wen Yan, and Wen Yi, they followed Qin Fang's footsteps and quickly disappeared.
Everyone was immediately dumbfounded. They had never seen such a domineering and powerful contestant. The results of the competition hadn't even come out yet, and he had already taken the trophy and left.
What was this?
A contestant snatched the trophy?
Everyone was dumbfounded. Strange thoughts popped up in their heads one after another because such a thing had never happened in any of the competitions.
"Damn, what the hell?"
"The trophy is gone before the competition is over. The organizers are eating sh * t!"
"…"
The first to make a fuss was not Afandi, but the spectators below. They were really waiting to see the most exciting part. They even wanted to try the barbecue products of the two contestants, so that they could have a more accurate benchmark in their hearts.
This was also to prevent underhanded manipulation and the like. They didn't expect that things would be completely out of their expectations. The competition had just begun and ended.
Even the process of the award ceremony was directly omitted.
Watching Qin Fang leave in such a domineering manner and taking away the trophy, Afandi's first reaction was surprise, followed by anger, but later he was a little confused.
He simply gave up on the lamb leg that was still being roasted and walked over to Qin Fang's barbecue stall.
He picked up the lamb leg that was still half-cooked. Only a part of it had just been roasted, and it wasn't even one-tenth of the whole leg.
However, when Afandi looked at this one-tenth, his whole person was stunned. He sniffed the aroma on it, then opened his mouth and gently took a bite.
Such a change immediately attracted the attention of many spectators. The judges and hosts on the stage also noticed. Everyone's eyes were focused on Afandi's face.
When the lamb leg entered his mouth, Afandi's expression didn't change much. He just chewed a few times, then swallowed the whole mouthful of lamb.
"I've lost …"
The former three-time barbecue champion, the barbecue expert of this competition, only tasted a mouthful of his opponent's barbecue product and calmly left such a sentence. Then, without hesitation, he walked to the exit and disappeared without a trace …
This time, the audience and judges were once again dumbfounded. They all looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
"Instant kill!
Instant kill in one move … "
Many people were surprised to find that the overbearing and arrogant young man had only used one move to instantly kill his opponent. He didn't even have the mood to compete with his opponent. He just took the trophy and left.
Previously, they had been cursing the organizers, cursing Qin Fang for being too arrogant. Now, they knew that this was not because Qin Fang was arrogant, but because Qin Fang had true strength. It was because Qin Fang felt that this was a very boring competition, a competition that was destined to end from the beginning.
Since this was the case, there was no suspense about the results of the competition. Why stay there and waste time? He might as well take the trophy and leave …
Perhaps the audience liked the feeling of putting themselves in Qin Fang's shoes. They immediately felt that this was a matter of course. If they were in his shoes, they would have done the same …
Therefore, Fang Feixue became famous. It wasn't just because they won the competition, but because they had great strength. Because of Qin Fang, Fang Feixue suddenly gained a lot of fans!
