Touched by my Culinary Skills?

The audience watched on in shock. They felt speechless and somewhat confused.

All because Bu Fang's actions seemed dumb.

Throwing away the delicious flesh of the fish, but keeping a hideous fish head... What was there to eat in a fish head? It did not even look pleasant.

Would a fish's head ever appear more appealing than white, tender flesh of a fish? That would just be putting the cart before the horse. Could this chef have become dumb because he had cooked so much?

The chief judge was also confused, but he chose to keep quiet about it. All he did was watch Bu Fang and think. Since he earnestly wished that Bu Fang make a mistake, why would he share any of his concerns with the chef? To him, it would be best that this chef failed this round. When that happened, nothing untoward would happen in the later rounds.
