Chapter 2444: I Truly Appreciate You
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Old Hunter was the first to finish the rib. He left the bare bone and took off the gloves. He wiped away the sweat on his forehead and grease on his mouth. He had an expression of longing for more.
“This is the best grilled mutton rib that I have had in my life. I could even say that it’s the best among all the grilled meats that I have ever had.” Old Hunter looked at Mag with appreciation. “Contestant, your potential is way better than I have imagined.”
“Thank you.” Mag smiled humbly.
David followed after him. After eating his rib, he looked at Nancy, who was still eating her rib gracefully. One had to know that she only ate a small bite of the previous seven dishes. Obviously, she was very satisfied with that mutton rib.
“First of all, I would like to apologize to Hades for my earlier rashness and recklessness. After the tasting, it’s obvious that he has found a perfect balance point between food safety and scrumptiousness.
!!
“He has shown us the real core of delicious food with an ancient cooking method. Extremely precise cooking equipment may not create absolutely scrumptious food. The charm of an experienced chef handling everything is more admirable.
“Just as Old Hunter said, this rib is also the best that I have ever had. Be it the control of the heat, or the seasoning, they were perfect. It’s astonishing.
“It’s foreseeable that this dish will create a grilled meat craze and bring new ideas to the world of grilled meat,” David looked at the camera and commented about the goat ribs.
All the judges looked at David strangely. Although this grilled mutton rib was delicious, given David’s prideful character, why would he admit his mistakes publicly? This matter was indeed weird.
Mag raised his brows slightly but he still nodded with a smile.
“It’s rare to hear such a great comment from David. Furthermore, he apologized first before he commented.”
“I’m asking again. Can we have the same charcoal-grilled mutton ribs somewhere in Tucker City? If there is somewhere, I’m going there right now!”
“I think that Brother Righteous has a great chance to advance today!”
“I did my calculations. According to the programming division’s rules, if Hades wants to advance, he has to get 96 points from the judges before he can advance into the top four with a minute1 advantage.”
The netizens refreshed the bullet chat crazily.
Mag had done his calculations inwardly too. According to the real-time PK value calculations that Xi told him telepathically, he did indeed need to receive 96 points from the judges to defeat the current fourth place.
Although he had a lot of traffic today, it was only one morning. Till now, his PK value was only three after conversion.
Of course, this was already better than the zero points that he had expected at first.
Currently, the contestant in fourth place, Denton, had a combined score of 88.5.
Looking at it now, his situation was still not bad on the surface.
Denton, who was at the side, could no longer remain calm now. He kept looking towards his manager below the stage. Although he knew that Mag’s online score was very low, he wondered if the judges’ great comments would cause the situation to change.
The contestants who didn’t take Mag seriously before, began to be concerned and wary of Mag.
After David finished commenting, Nancy also put down her cutlery.
She had eaten the entire rib clean with a fork and knife. Only a little tendon’s membrane was still stuck to the bone.
The other judges weren’t in a hurry to express their opinions. They seemed to turn their gaze to Nancy.
This show was still decided by Nancy, including the top four’s name list. They had received it before the competition.
However, this contestant who appeared suddenly, was too amazing. Miss Nancy, who usually didn’t eat much on the show, actually finished a whole mutton rib. This was an unexpected change that wasn’t in the script.
And when David, who was usually very glib, decided to praise Mag shamelessly, it made them decide to comment after Nancy made her decision.
Nancy wiped away the grease on her lips gracefully and looked at Mag with an unconcealed appreciative gaze.
She was rather disappointed in this year’s Top Chef Competition. None of the dishes had surprised her. She had decided that even the champion was not going to enter the McCarthy Manor’s kitchen.
However, she had changed her mind today.
She was going to have this man.
Just with these grilled mutton ribs, Nancy had already decided to let Hades enter the McCarthy Manor’s kitchen and be in charge of grills.
Even though she couldn’t eat grilled mutton ribs every day, it was still an extreme scrumptious experience for either a friends’ gathering or a snack.
Furthermore, it was difficult for the other chefs to replicate it, which meant that he was irreplaceable.
“This is the first dish that I have finished in this year’s Top Chef Competition.” Nancy looked at Mag and smilingly said, “Hades has made an astonishingly mesmerizing dish with a normal Haley Goat. Before that, I had never imagined that mutton could be so tender and juicy, and so deliciously mesmerizing.
“He used this method to let us see the charm of the traditional charcoal grilling, and has also proved on the Top Chef Competition’s stage that not only the expensive and precious ingredients can create delicious food.”
“I truly appreciate you.”
The last sentence was solely meant for Mag.
Mag was still as calm as ever. He nodded with a smile. “Thank you.”
The judges looked at each other with an ‘Aha!’ expression.
The previous contestant who had received Miss Nancy’s praises and appreciation was the champion of the second edition. He should be the head chef of the McCarthy Manor now.
Hence, all the judges after her were heaping praises on Mag. They weren’t stingy with their praises at all.
“Is this mutton rib really that scrumptious?” Johnny looked shocked. The script was in a mess now, but Miss Nancy was the one who changed the script, so he couldn’t be unhappy at all. He altered the script with a frown as he told his assistant, “Aren’t there still two ribs left? Go get them for me to try them out.”
“Sure.” The assistant quickly strode off. This was considered as one of the director’s team’s benefits. The dishes that were leftover by the judges were ‘processed’ by them.
“Pack the remaining two ribs for me. I’m bringing them home.” Right then, Nancy’s voice appeared in his ear telepathically.

Johnny’s expression froze, but he quickly nodded in agreement.
“Director.” The assistant swiftly returned with the plate and offered him the two ribs.
Johnny gulped when he looked at the ribs and tried his best to move his gaze away. “Pack them in the highest manner possible and put them in the warmer.”
“You are not tasting it now?” The assistant was perplexed.
“I want to, but the lady boss doesn’t allow me to.” Johnny was miserable as he covered his face and said, “How can we fool around during work time? Bring them away.”
