Chapter 1259: Chapter 1259: Family Matters

Sharuk secretly criticized in his heart; he didn’t believe Guo Wenbo didn’t know.

Guo Wenbo acted shamelessly, yet he wasn’t much better himself!

Sharuk and the others were brought back to the competition room.

Under the supervision’s certification, the results were revealed.

"White bowl 6 votes, black bowl 3 votes," the supervisor said, "The winning team is the Huaguo Team!"

"Through a draw, the Huaguo Team drew the white bowl, and the Indian Tri-Nation Team drew the black bowl," the supervisor said, "So the Huaguo Team ultimately won by 6:3."

The faces of the Indian Tri-Nation Team turned dark.

The three mentors led by Sharuk had even darker expressions and said nothing.

Who would’ve thought that each of them actually cast two votes for Huaguo!

Sharuk asked the other two: "Which three dishes did you vote for?"

The three exchanged their voting slips and found they had voted for the same dishes.

Apparently, their tastes were quite similar; after exchanging their voting opinions, they realized they were almost the same.

They had to admit that the dishes they voted for were indeed excellent.

"Just those two dishes alone are more than enough for the Defending Team," Li Tike couldn’t help but look towards Guo Wenbo, "Is Huaguo really that strong now? Such skilled chefs, so young, yet only staying in the Defending Team?"

Their Attacking Team comprised only the nation’s most prestigious top chefs, all staying in the Attacking Team.

Their Defending Team compared to the Attacking Team did have a bit of a gap.

This led to Huaguo consistently having a successful strike when challenging their side.

Whereas, their Indian Tri-Nation’s strike rate wasn’t always victorious.

This made Huaguo appear better.

The frictions between the two countries have never stopped.

Especially within Indian Tri-Nation; they’ve always believed Huaguo is inferior to them—whether in national development, city development, or other aspects.

They even felt that Huaguo’s magic city lags 50 years behind their Mumbai.

Thus, despite other aspects, at least within their own industry, frequently losing to Huaguo was quite frustrating.

Between each other’s Attacking Teams, they also had more losses than wins.

Even when their Attacking Team challenged the Defending Team, they lost several times.

They once thought perhaps Huaguo left one or two particularly strong competitors to ensure keeping their badges safe.

But they hadn’t forgotten, even so, Huaguo’s Attacking Team was particularly strong.

In such circumstances, having the capacity to divert two players of such strength was enough to demonstrate Huaguo’s overall strength.

Crucially, Sharuk remembered that previous years’ Huaguo Defending Teams weren’t this strong. ℯ

Though very strong, not to the point where they could crush them 6:3.

With fighters like Ye Fei and Tian Pengpo staying in the Defending Team, how strong must the Attacking Team be?

With the competition results out, Sharuk and the others didn’t dwell on the outcome.

Although both sides engaged in various intrigues during the process, the cooking was genuinely skill-based, with no cheating involved.

The judgment was based on their personal tasting and voting.

At this point, Sharuk and the others accepted the results.

And even if they didn’t, there was nothing they could do about it.

"The dishes we voted on were Huaguo Team’s Japanese-style chicken soup, sake-braised pork bone vegetable soup, and Indian Tri-Nation Team’s Japanese-style tofu soup," Sharuk said.

Even the Indian Tri-Nation team members didn’t expect that they had only one dish that received votes.

"The three of us made the same choices even without consultation," Li Tike said, "We each cast a vote for these three dishes."

"We want to know which competitors prepared these three dishes," Kadidal said.

Thus, Ye Fei and the others stepped forward.

The player from the Indian Tri-Nation who received their votes was their captain.

It seemed their captain’s level was indeed noteworthy.

Kadir asked with curiosity, "I recall that chicken soup was specifically chicken dumpling soup; there were chewy granules inside the bowl, yet unlike the toughness of meat, what exactly was added?"

"Chicken skin was added; when cooked and then thoroughly rinsed under cold water until no oils are contained in the washing water," this principle is akin to making pickled chicken claws, absorbing collagen sufficiently.

This creates springy chicken claws.

"The elasticity is in the chicken skin; diced it mixed into the chicken, giving you that texture," Ye Fei explained.

Upon hearing this, Sharuk and the others showed intriguing expressions.

Being a country which doesn’t consume chicken skin.

Their fried chicken, including well-known chains such as KFC and McDonald’s, had chicken skin removed before frying.

No wonder, the dumplings they praised were from chicken skin’s chewy texture.

Instantly, they felt unsettled.

Ye Fei naturally knew this but still said so.

After all, results were established; no fear they wouldn’t accept it.

At last, Sharuk and the competitors left with complex expressions.

Successfully keeping a badge, especially from an old rival.

Everyone felt especially thrilled.

They would celebrate, but Ye Fei needed to give a statement to the police, so they planned for tomorrow instead.

And with the little guy present, wasn’t convenient after all.

By chance, Qiu Xingwen also returned from completing his statement.

He also took Ye Fei and Xiao Mo to the police station.

Ye Fei explained the situation thoroughly, matching what Qiu Xingwen said.

Xiao Mo looked pitiful; the police officers familiar, seeing Xiao Mo polite, appeared adorable and liked him naturally.

Seeing his frightened pitiful look, they immediately felt sorry for him.

In their hearts resolved, determined who sent those people.

"Have you or your husband had any recent disagreements with anyone?" the officer asked.

Ye Fei, of course, couldn’t mention Zhao Guqing.

Not specifically protecting him due to the Zhao Family, but the conflict involving Zhao Family is complex and private.

It’s indeed their private affair.

Ye Fei thought Zhang Family issues she couldn’t decide to reveal.

But she could decide on the Ye Family matters.

Ye Fei said, "Actually... it’s an issue between my sister and me. I don’t understand why, but she seems to not want me to compete."

"In the morning on the way to compete, she falsely claimed my father met an accident and was hospitalized. But my husband checked personally, and my father was perfectly fine," Ye Fei said.
