  Xiao Yu's victory in the second group was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, as they thought that the old brand 'Wu Fang Zhai' should have a bigger reputation.

  And the third group's results once again left many people stunned, the old man from 'Old Zhang's Cake Shop' made traditional snack 'Tiao Tou Gao', which won Cao Hong's praise and took the first place in the group.

  The second round of competition ended, and 'Tianlin Hot Pot City', 'Xiaoyu Spicy Noodle Shop' and 'Old Zhang's Cake Shop' qualified for the third round.

  Liu Bao Cai never expected that this 'Little Universe Spicy Noodle Shop' would also advance from the second group, which made him indignant and a little anxious. If this competition really allowed Xiao Dao's team to get first place, wouldn't he be ruining his own rice bowl?

  There was a fifteen-minute break before the third round of competition.

  Liu Baochai became more and more anxious, wanting to discuss with the boss, but found that Boss Yang was not around. After a careful search, he saw in the distance near the toilet, a quiet place, Boss Yang was pulling one of the judges, Wang Jianguo, talking about something.

  Liu Baochai's mind suddenly settled down. He knew some of Yang Boss's abilities, and as long as he played some small tricks behind his back, wouldn't the first place be his?

  After all, if they win first place, the biggest beneficiary will be 'Tianlin Food City', which is about to change its name and reopen. Even if Yang doesn't rush, he must come up with a foolproof plan to get this first prize for himself.

  Xiao Dao was delighted at this time, and Xiao Yu relied on the "extreme roasted chicken wings" to get online, giving him and Liu Bao Cai's betting a turning point. He still had an "extreme chicken noodle dish", although he didn't dare say that he would definitely win first place, at least he had hope to make a comeback.

  The third round of competition begins.

  The focus of the scene is concentrated on three workbenches.

  It's strange to say that 'Old Zhang's Cake Shop' still only has one old man on the scene, which makes people even more suspicious. Is it possible that his cake shop only has him alone?

  Xiao Yu also became interested in the old man, he had never been to 'Old Zhang's Cake Shop', and didn't know where it was located on Tianlin Road, but felt that this old man could make such exquisite local snacks, indicating that he must have had an extraordinary experience before.

  "After the game is over, I must find this old man and have a good chat with him." Xiao Yu secretly made up his mind.

  The production of "extreme chicken noodle" has been well-coordinated by Xiaoyu and his team for a long time. Xiaoyu is in charge of frying the chicken cutlet, Xiaodao is responsible for making the sauce and soup base, and Daniu still takes care of pulling noodles and cooking noodles.

  In the first round of the previous match, since ten teams played together, the spectators did not pay special attention to Xiao Yu's team.

  But now, since they have already passed two rounds and there are only three teams in the third round, many people's attention is focused on Xiaoyu and his team.

  Seeing the big cow pulling noodles, people are secretly guessing that this time Xiao Yu's snack is definitely noodles again. Is it possible that the noodles they made this time are even better than the super gold medal spicy sauce noodles?

  The big cow skillfully pulled the noodles on the noodle-making table, and interacted with the noodles every day. The big cow's noodle-pulling skills are now slightly better than Little Yu's, and due to his brute strength, the noodles he pulls out are both fast and good.

  This time, the development of 'extreme chicken noodle', Da Niu is in charge of noodles. Although it can't compare to Xiao Yu and Xiao Dao's importance, he still managed to come up with a trick for making excellent pulled noodles, the quality of which has improved compared to before.

  This is also one of the reasons why the previous bowl of 'Super Golden Spicy Noodle' was able to get a high rating.

  The big cow pulled out the noodles, which was no less impressive than Xiaoyu's. Due to his tall and sturdy build, he added a bit of momentum when pulling the noodles. The audience only saw the big cow's hands flying back and forth, and in just over a dozen pulls, the noodles had already taken shape, with each strand resembling a silver thread. His technique and strength were perfectly coordinated, truly breathtaking to behold.

  Xiao Yu was carefully frying the chicken breast, every now and then throwing a glance over to check its doneness.

  This fried chicken chop is quite a test of the chef's skills. If it's fried for too long, it becomes overcooked and the meat becomes tough, while if it's not fried enough, there will be blood streaks inside, affecting people's appetite. Therefore, whether this dish is done well or not depends on the chicken chop.

  But Xiao Dao was now more energetic than anyone else, as this concerned his and Xiao Mei's future. If they lost this match, he would have to pack up and leave Xiao Yu's restaurant with Xiao Mei.

  After drifting for so long, he finally settled down at Xiao Yu's place and didn't want to go back to his old ways. He himself was fine with it, but what about Xiao Mei?

  Almost everyone was working hard for this bowl of "extreme chicken noodle", until the small knife poured sauce on the chicken, completing the final step. The three people finally let out a sigh of relief, as if they had accomplished something major.

  Xiao Yu looked at the bowl of "extreme chicken noodle" in front of him, and a smile spread across his face that he couldn't suppress.

  "Top-grade chicken noodle soup, edible. Each serving of 100g reduces hunger by 35%, immediately restores 35% HP, increases joy by 60%, temporarily boosts stamina by 15, strength by 15, and spirit by 15, lasting for 10 minutes."

  This is a bowl of noodles with three surnames added! And the degree of pleasure is 60%, which can't be said to be a top-grade product.

  Liu Bao Cai and his team made the signature snack of Huo Guo Lou, "Roasted Mutton Skewers", while the old man made a traditional snack, "Osmanthus Sugar Lotus Root".

  At Miss Etiquette's words, "Time's up."

  The three judges taste again.

  As it was the last moment that decided victory or defeat, the three judges stayed a bit longer in front of each work.

  What's strange is that Wang Jian Guo highly praised the lamb skewers at Tian Lin Hot Pot, and without even trying the other two snacks, he declared that today's champion must be Tian Lin Hot Pot.

  Director Li and Cao Hong, however, remained unusually silent.

  Xiao Yu's heart couldn't help but secretly sneer, since he had jumped out, then let's see what was really on his mind.

  A mid-level mind reader threw it away.

  "Target - Wang Jianguo, Intermediate Mind-reading Result: This Yang boss is really generous, actually stuffed 5,000 yuan into my pocket as transportation fee. Everyone understands each other, this favor still needs to be done. It's strange, those two should have also received money, why didn't they help speak up?"

  Xiao Yu suddenly understood that he had encountered a dark horse, and this Yang boss was really wealthy and generous. He should have given each person 5,000 yuan in transportation fees. Was this championship really so important to him?

  Originally, when coming to the competition, Xiaoyu didn't have the intention of winning the championship, entering the top three was already very good. However, since Xiaodao and Liu Baochai made a bet, this championship must be fought for. If these judges dare to play tricks in the back, then I will also use tricks to deal with them!

  Three people came before Xiao Yu's workstation.

  As expected, Wang Jianguo took a bite and deliberately downplayed it, saying, "The fire control of the fried chicken steak is not good, the taste of the chicken steak is a bit dry, the sauce is a bit salty, I guess too much salt was added, and the soup is also too oily."

  "What?!?" Big Cow and Little Knife stared at Wang Jian Guo in disbelief. Wasn't he just talking nonsense with his eyes wide open? They had all tasted the chicken, sauce, and soup beforehand, and none of the problems he mentioned existed.

  Dà Niú and Xiǎo Dāo immediately wanted to reason with him on the spot, but were stopped by Xiǎo Yǔ.

  Xiao Yu shifted his gaze to the other two judges, unexpectedly, Cao Hong and Director Li still did not say a word.

  "Is that all the power of 5,000 yuan?" Xiaoyu sneered inwardly, looking down on these three people.

  The three of them also tasted the old man's ' Osmanthus sugar lotus root', Wang Jianguo still picked bones from eggs, saying that the old man put too much sugar in his sugar lotus root, the cooking time was not enough to reach the desired level, and the ingredients were not very fresh.

  Director Li and Cao Hong returned to the judges' table without saying a word as usual.

  The audience outside also saw that something was wrong and started whispering to each other, and the situation in this third round was clearly filled with a strange atmosphere.

  This time, the three judges discussed for a full five minutes. Although their conversation could not be heard, seeing Wang Jianguo's flushed face, it was clear how intense the discussion was.

  Finally, Wang Jianguo picked up the microphone and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are now entering the final voting procedure. Each of us judges has one vote, which will be cast for the store that we think is the most outstanding. The store that receives two or more votes can win first place. I'm casting my vote for 'Tianlin Hot Pot City'!"

  "Hurray!" The people on the side of Huo Guo City all applauded together, and many people had already rushed to congratulate Mr. Yang. In their opinion, it was a foregone conclusion that Huo Guo City would take first place.

  Xiao Yu snorted in disdain. This result was within his expectations, and he was also very disgusted with Wang Jian's behavior. For 5,000 yuan, was it worth it?

  The audience below quietly waited to see which of the other two judges would cast their votes.

  Director Li took the microphone, glanced at the three teams, and a faint, imperceptible smile spread across his face. He began to speak, "I'm casting my vote for 'Little Universe Spicy Noodle Shop'!"

  "!" Wang Jianguo was stunned, didn't they just agree on it earlier? Everyone was going to vote for 'Tianlin Hot Pot City', right? Director Li accepted the bribe but didn't follow through, this is really not right.

  Mr. Yang's expression was also very colorful, his face looked like it had been brutally trampled on, and he couldn't help but look ugly. Liu Baochai's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, showing that his mood was tense to the extreme.

  Xiao Yu's heart warmed up a bit, it seems that this Director Li is indeed someone who can be interacted with.

  Now, the right to decide lies in Cao Hong's hands.

  If she votes for either 'Tianlin Hot Pot City' or 'Xiaoyu Spicy Noodle Shop', that shop will win.

  Hundreds of eyes were focused on Cao Hong, everyone held their breath and listened to the results, each person wanting to know who would finally take first place after such an intense competition.

  Cao Hong took the microphone and bowed his head for a full ten seconds before speaking, "I cast this vote for 'Old Zhang's Cake Shop'!"

  BOOM!!!

  The scene below was as lively as a boiling pot, what's going on? The three judges each voted for a different store, so how can the first place be chosen?

  Xiao Yu was also confused, he had not expected this result. Cao Hong and Director Li were obviously not influenced by Boss Yang, but in that case, how could they determine the winner?
