Chapter 131 Argument
While the chefs were preparing the ingredients, Lei Hua approached Chef Long Hongze.

At this time, Hongze was drinking tea leisurely, feeling quite proud of his answer.

Just as Lei Hua expected, the questions in the re-examination indeed far exceeded the assessment scope of the top chef, but were set according to the assessment requirements for Chef Long.

If the assessment for top chefs is to select elite talents, then the assessment for dragon chefs is to select the strongest.

Every dragon chef has a unique skill that can be called the "best".

The purpose of the Dragon Chef Assessment is to allow the candidate to demonstrate his most unique qualities and show his most extraordinary and extraordinary qualities.

And "Juewei" just meets the requirements of Chef Long's assessment.

This was a deliberate challenge on his part, but it was not a bad thing for these chefs.

If they really try their best to climb towards "absolute taste", then in the process of climbing, they will more or less realize the level beyond the top chef, that is, the realm called "the best".

Maybe they can't pass the assessment for top chefs this time, but there will be another assessment for top chefs.

And after going through this ordeal, maybe one of them will be able to open the door to Chef Dragon.

However, this depends on their personal understanding and luck.

For chefs, especially talented chefs like these five, the most terrifying thing is not encountering hardships beyond their abilities, but not knowing which way to go ahead.

It is always better to climb towards a distant and established goal than to keep wandering in the fog and wasting time and life.

Chef Long is the pinnacle of the culinary world, where the most talented people from all over the country gather, but ahead of them lies such a deep fog.

Will there be a road ahead of the “most”?
If so, what would it be?
No one knows the answer to this question.

Hongze is old and no longer has the strength or energy to fight against this deep fog. The answer can only be found by young people.

He came here at Wu Cheng's invitation not only to clean up his mess, but also for his own selfish reasons.

Wu Cheng's praise of Xu Qing in the letter made him very curious, and after tasting the dishes made by Xu Qing, his heart couldn't help but beat faster.

He had never seen such a talented young man.

Perhaps he will be able to see through the deep fog.

But first, he has to take that road, the road that leads to the "best".

Failure is always unforgettable, slowly fermenting in people's hearts and becoming a deep obsession.

Hongze hopes to imprint the failure of this top chef assessment deeply in Xu Qing's heart, so that he will pursue that path unremittingly until he reaches the end of the road.

Everything went according to his plan.

Hongze was very satisfied.

"Master Long Chef!"

Lei Hua walked in quickly with a stern voice.

Hongze said casually: "Oh, it's Leihua, sit down, don't be shy. What can I do for you?"

Yao Ye, who was reading a book at the desk nearby, also looked up.

Seeing Lei Hua's expression at this moment, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Are you going to cause trouble again?
Didn't we compromise before?
How come the rules of the re-examination were changed again just after announcing them?
“Thunder Flower…”

Yao Ye quickly stood up and prepared to persuade.

"I have something to tell Chef Long. This is my business and has nothing to do with you."

Lei Hua glanced at Yao Ye coldly. She knew that Yao Ye always stopped her for her own good, but some things could not be judged simply as good or bad.

Whatever the consequences, this was what she had to do.

Therefore, she didn't want to implicate Yao Ye.

In this way, even if Chef Long is angry and wants to blame someone, he will only blame her.

Hongze nodded and said, "In that case, Yao Ye, you go out first."

Yao Ye hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "Master Chef Long, Lei Hua is young and hot-tempered, and she doesn't know the rules when she speaks. How about I stay here, in case she says something wrong or does something wrong and upsets you."

Hongze looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect that Yao Ye, who had always been cautious to the point of being fawning, would be so courageous when the time came.

Staying means that he has to stand on Lei Hua's side and stand by her side.

Lei Hua also looked at Yao Ye with gratitude, and her heart was even more excited.

Hongze said, "Okay, Leihua, just tell me what you want to say."

"Master Chef Long, let me be frank. The questions in the re-examination are not what a top-grade chef should be assessed for! No one can pass this kind of question. You are clearly deliberately making things difficult for me!"

Hearing such harsh words, Yao Ye subconsciously wanted to remind Lei Hua to be careful with his words, but then he closed his mouth, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Because these words were also held in his heart, words he dared not and was unwilling to say out loud.

He didn't have the courage to say it, so he might as well let Lei Hua say what she wanted to say.

Hearing Lei Hua's accusation, Hong Ze calmly replied: "You are right, I am deliberately making things difficult for them. I don't want them to pass the special chef assessment."

Lei Hua was immediately furious and said angrily: "Don't you think this is too unfair to them? I don't know what grudge you have against these candidates, but you are not worthy of being an examiner if you impose your personal emotions on the examination!"

This is almost like pointing at Hongze and scolding him.

Even though Hongze was well-mannered, he couldn't help but look frighteningly gloomy.

Yao Ye said quickly, "Master Chef Long, Lei Hua didn't mean that. She was angry and spoke without thinking. It's just that the questions in this exam are too different from the previous ones. It's really unfair to the candidates to give them questions that they can't solve at all."

Hong Ze said coldly: "What is fairness? Cancel the retest and let them all pass the assessment?"

"No." Lei Hua said subconsciously.

Yao Ye suggested, "Why not change the topic back to the previous one..."

Hong Ze said coldly: "The questions for the special chef examination have already been told to the candidates. If you change the order every day, how will the special chef examination maintain its reputation in the future?"

"This……"

What Hongze said is indeed very correct. Even if the question needs to be changed, it cannot be changed after informing the candidates.

Lei Hua was both angry and anxious. She was angry at herself for not having the courage to argue before, but now she couldn't change it even if she wanted to.

These candidates worked hard to demonstrate their potential, but in the end their efforts were not rewarded as they should have been. Even though their abilities had reached the requirements for the top chef assessment, they were still not recognized.

Is there really no way?
No, there is another way.

"Master Long, I have a request. I hope that the assessment can be based on a points system."

"Point system?" Hongze asked.

Lei Hua said: "Yes, it is not only determined by the final taste, but also scored based on the skills and creativity of the dishes."

In this way, perhaps the candidates will have a better chance of success.
