Someone chuckled, “You haven’t paid attention to these international events before, have you?”
“Not really.
I just started watching this year.” The person replied, “This year’s topic is quite riveting, so I started paying attention.”
“This year, you might as well pay attention to the International Culinary Competition to see if what I’m saying is true.”
Another person chimed in, “I’ve never watched before either, but I will this year.
Even though I haven’t watched before, I believe what you’re saying.
The Olympics, eSports competitions, various international events – there are plenty of instances of Hearth Nation’s competitors being treated unfairly.”
“It’s only our Hearth Nation that has the grace to ensure fairness and impartiality in every competition, without resorting to despicable tactics.”
“I still remember a short track speed skating competition where a competitor from Des Moines intentionally tripped one of our competitors, causing her to lose the competition.
I was so upset at the time.”
“That’s why Pingla needs to be cautious in this Cooking Competition.
The International Culinary Competition sent Jenny Kirk as a judge; who knows if she’s here to snoop around and cause trouble.
...
But Pingla can’t reject it either; it’s really infuriating.”
“Exactly!” an audience member said, “She doesn’t really understand anything.
She just sounds nice on stage.”
“I think Rosaline Parker is just annoyed by her remarks and indirectly insulted her.”
“Rosaline insulted her so well!
We would prefer a direct confrontation and we all support it.”
Jenny Kirk didn’t expect Rosaline Parker to confront her so directly!
She said before that she came because she was invited.
She thought Pingla wouldn’t mind such a small matter.
Who knew, Rosaline Parker would immediately bring it up. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
The audience at the scene would most likely believe Rosaline Parker’s words.
Rosaline Parker continued, “After all, Miss Kirk is not a professional.
It’s better for her to be cautious to avoid making wrong judgments and hurting the competitors.”
Jenny Kirk:”…”
Jenny Kirk gave an awkward laugh, covering up a few seconds of embarrassment.
She then said, “Chef Parker, I’m not done speaking yet.”
Rosaline Parker raised an eyebrow.
Was Jenny Kirk trying to confront her?
Rosaline Parker laughed scornfully with no attempt to hide it and said, “Go ahead.”
Rosaline Parker’s scoff was amplified through the microphone, and everyone heard it clearly.
The most authoritative Wesley Gordon pretended not to hear it, with no intention to prevent Rosaline Parker.
He also greatly disliked Jenny Kirk.
He didn’t want to be the peacemaker.
But he couldn’t let Rosaline Parker take all the heat.
They were standing on the side.
All the judges were a team, not only representing Pingla, but they also had a good relationship normally.
Rosaline Parker was actually a student from under Pingla Academy.
Wesley Gordon said, “Oh?
Miss Kirk just said that she’d wait for the final dishes to comment.
What more does she have to say now?”
Waiting for the final dishes before commenting was what Rosaline Parker had suggested.
If she wanted to criticize others now, she would be contradicting herself.
No matter what Rosaline Parker wanted to say, she wouldn’t be well received.
Finally, a look of annoyance appeared in Rosaline Parker’s eyes.
How could these judges have no respect in public at all?
Originally, Rosaline had relied on the fact that it was a public place, believing that no matter how unsatisfied they were, they would maintain a harmonious front.
Who knew that these few judges would be so disrespectful?
Rosaline didn’t even bother to smile anymore and said coldly, “Regarding the competitors’ food selection, I do want to wait until the final dishes come out.”
“Because right now, I can’t see what they intend to make with their chosen ingredients,” Jenny Kirk said.
The other judges hadn’t figured it out either, so her admitting she hadn’t wasn’t embarrassing or showing fear.
“However, for Cindy Clarke, I have some clues,” said Jenny Kirk.
“By seeing her using tomatoes and potatoes, she’s probably making a tomato and potato soup?
Because she didn’t take out the beef, it’s not the usual beef and tomato soup.
She also didn’t use any other types of meat or fish.”
“Only tomatoes and potatoes have appeared on the cooking station, so I thought she was making tomato and potato soup,” Jenny Kirk said.
The audience members nodded; what Jenny Kirk was saying made some sense.
Even a layperson could see that there were only these two ingredients on Cindy Clarke’s cooking station.
At the moment, Cindy hadn’t even gotten to the step of mashing the potatoes.
She was just slicing them to steam.
“This is a major competition!” Jenny Kirk said, “Isn’t Cindy Clarke’s choice too ordinary?”
“I cannot judge the others right now, which means they are unique in their own ways.”
“Only Cindy’s seems too plain.”
