The live stream channel has already begun announcing the results. Over 10,000 people came to participate in the written test, but only about 400 passed.
Each round is an elimination process, with only 15 people ultimately being selected to sign employment contracts directly with Starry Sky Kindergarten.
The official competition starts tomorrow.
Viewers in the live stream couldn't help but comment:
"Wow, why is this competition schedule so brutal?"
"I heard there are even out-of-town chefs coming to challenge the locals."
"It's so professional."
"I've always loved watching chef competition shows. I watched that chef battle show from when I was a kid several times. I'm definitely following this one."
"I wish I could go taste the food."
As people were chattering away online, Shen Wei suddenly appeared on camera.
It had been a while since everyone had seen Shen Wei.
They couldn't help but feel excited.
Shen Wei's beauty was magnified infinitely on camera, giving them a sense of awe.
"I used to think Gu Qingyan was too much of a simp, but now I realize if I had a girlfriend like that, I'd be a simp too."
"That guy really lucked out."
"He must regret it now, saying before that she wasn't his fiancée."
"Please stop, or young Master Gu will cry himself unconscious in the bathroom again."
"Ah, the folly of youth."
"Just seeing Shen Wei makes me go 'sha sha' (infatuated sounds). She's going to be my wife from now on."
"Hey, you stole all my lines!"
Shen Wei suddenly appeared on the live stream to announce some good news: "I've noticed that many of our viewers in the live stream want to come and taste the food."
As soon as she finished speaking, the comment section became excited: "What does that mean? Could it be what I'm thinking?"
"My goodness, is this a dream come true?"
"Shen Wei, she really... I'm crying, she's too good to her fans."
"Pick me, please, I really want to eat."
"I'll pay! Can I buy a seat? I'm afraid I won't be chosen, I have such bad luck."
Shen Wei had only said one sentence, but the comment section had already guessed most of it.
Shen Wei continued: "You've all guessed correctly. We will select 10 people to be on-site judges, who will be able to score the dishes. And of course, they'll get to taste the food. There are 10 seats available. They will rotate daily. Just click on the upper right corner to enter the draw. The results will be announced in 10 minutes."
As soon as Shen Wei finished speaking, the comment section quieted down.
But when he saw the comment section praising the male host for being handsome, witty, and humorous, and the female host for being beautiful, sweet, and cute, he felt a bit uncomfortable.
He wanted to find fault, after all, he was a host from Miao Hong's TV station.
How could he be outdone by a mere wedding emcee?
With this critical mindset, he continued watching.
Soon came the introduction of the guests.
Professionals see the essence, while amateurs see the excitement.
Apart from those in the industry, many people didn't know how impressive these judges were.
But after the introductions, they discovered that many were masters who had participated in state banquets. Then there were masters who had been featured on "A Bite of China".
Some had even created dishes that were recognized as intangible cultural heritage in their province!
Some of their apprentices had opened restaurants that were always fully booked.
If these people were to enter culinary schools, they would all be at the professor level.
With this realization, everyone's perception of this online live stream's status suddenly elevated.
Initially, everyone was just watching for fun, not expecting it to be so professional.
Netizens laughed: "If you do it like this, it's going to be hard for TV stations in the future."
"Bring it on, I love watching shows with real talent."
"Setting an example for other niche variety shows."
"In the future, I see online shows dominating."
"400 people cooking at the same time. I've never seen such a spectacle."
After the introductions, the camera panned to the 10 tasting seats.
They were all young girls.
Sitting there, waving at the camera to greet everyone.
The live stream fans erupted again: "Are these the ones who beat us?"
"These people look like they can't eat much. Let me come, I can eat three buckets of rice."
"How come no male comrades won a spot? Don't tell me our single guys' hand speed can't beat theirs?"
"We can't compare. They've honed their skills through countless online shopping festivals."
Many people were following this live stream.
Jiang Xun's master, Si Jing, was originally busy with other matters.
But suddenly, he heard his apprentices say: "The senior apprentice is on the show!"
He immediately cast the phone's program to the TV screen, wanting to see what exactly was going on.
