At this moment.

The committee's receiver in the background is receiving and counting the diners' votes in real-time.

Huang Tao's Delicious Restaurant booth is leading by a wide margin.

The popularity is unstoppable!

Directly crushing the second place by nearly five times the number of votes.

Regarding this, Huang Tao is naturally unaware.

Of course, he is somewhat confident, feeling that getting into the top three is no problem.

As for the gold award!

He can also compete for it!

The expert judges, after understanding the situation.

Have gained a clearer recognition of the various food stalls at the food festival.

Mi Zhuoqun smiled and said to the expert judges present: "Everyone has already understood the 88 stalls of this food festival, I believe everyone has their most satisfactory booth in mind."

After speaking.

He turned his head to look at the staff not far away, waved at him, and smiled, saying: "Please give each judge present a stall list and a pen."

"Oh, sure!"

The staff nodded and immediately complied.

They took the pre-printed stall lists and black pens and distributed them to each expert judge present.

Mi Zhuoqun smiled slightly: "As we discussed before, for the awarding list of this year's TOP10 restaurants, besides online voting, it also depends on the scores given by our expert judges. The method is anonymous, just score next to the stall number of your most satisfactory food stall, and we will tally them up."

"Adding the votes from online voting to the scores given by the expert judges, we will decide this year's TOP10 restaurants. If there is a tie, we will discuss it democratically together!"

"I have said everything I needed to, if anyone has anything to add, do it now while there's still time!"

Mi Zhuoqun's gaze fell on the expert judges, seeing them all shaking their heads, saying "No."

He smiled and said: "Since no one has anything to add, let's start writing, we'll be opening the votes soon to decide the list!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the black pen on the table and started scoring the most satisfactory food stall.

Wei Mingguo and the other judges also picked up their pens and scored their most satisfactory food stall.

After a moment.

All the expert judges put down their pens.

The staff collected and organized all their papers.

In front of all the judges present, they started announcing and tallying the votes on the spot.

At the same time.

Many diners, having bought their favorite food, moved towards the main stage while eating.

To join the excitement!

On stage.

Liu Qianqian and Ma Yong were still hosting energetically.

Ma Yong waved to the spectators below the stage, smiling: "Dear audience friends, our ten expert judges are now going through the final scoring step. After the online voting ends at 12 o'clock, the TOP10 restaurant award list will be announced. Are you all excited?"

The spectators below the stage were very supportive, all shouting in unison: "Excited..."

The echo stretched out, resonating in the air.

Liu Qianqian gave a charming smile: "To be honest, I am also very excited! Although this is not the first time our Wenling City has held a food festival, nor is it the first time we select the TOP10 restaurants, this year's selection is still eagerly anticipated to see which ten businesses will claim the spot."

Ma Yong smiled gentlemanly, adding: "It won't be long now, the TOP10 restaurants of this year will be revealed, but I still want to remind our audience friends not to forget your votes."

"Your votes, combined with the scores of the expert judges, will be the final vote count."

"The owner of the food stall with the highest vote count will be this year's TOP10 restaurant gold award winner."

"Dear audience, I emphasize once again, every participant in this interactive voting will have a chance to win exquisite gifts prepared by the committee."

"Don't miss it, voting ends at noon, 12 o'clock, there are 30 minutes left, please hurry up..."

Liu Qianqian's signature smile was still on her lips: "Besides the TOP10 restaurant selection, we will also be awarding the 'Most Popular Booth' and 'Packing King' awards, which will be determined daily by system data..."

The two of them were actively enlivening the atmosphere on stage.

Next.

They selected some spectators from below the stage to come up and answer questions related to food and cooking knowledge.

To interact.

Participants who could answer three food questions correctly on the spot would receive a delicate gift from the program group.

Of course, in this Q&A process, external help was not allowed, only independent answering.

For the exquisite gifts, many spectators were eager to try, enthusiastically raising their hands.

Invited by the two hosts with smiles.

Accompanied by a soothing background music, the uncles and aunts invited on stage took turns answering the hosts' questions.

For a moment, the stage was bustling.

The spectators were filled with enthusiasm.

After about 20 minutes, as 12 o'clock approached, the Q&A session was announced closed by Ma Yong.

At noon, 12 o'clock, the stage background music abruptly stopped.

Liu Qianqian held the cue card, smiled and said, "The awards ceremony for the closing of this food festival is about to begin. After extensive audience voting and scoring by our ten expert judges, the TOP10 restaurants of this year have been born. Now, the list of TOP10 restaurants is in my hands."

"That's right, the list of TOP10 restaurants is in my hands."

Saying this, Ma Yong showed the cue card in his hand to the audience below the stage.

"First, I will announce the winners from fourth to tenth place in the TOP10 restaurants."

"The tenth place goes to Maideng Hotel, the ninth place to Dongling Stone Hotel, the eighth place is..."

Upon hearing the news, the chefs at each booth quickly put down their work and all rushed towards the stage.

Then they were invited onto the stage by Liu Qianqian.

The awards were presented to them by Old Qin and Old Zhu one by one, with handshakes and congratulations.

The chefs from each awarded hotel and restaurant held their award certificates, smiling brightly as they looked at the audience below the stage.

The joy and excitement were beyond words.

Liu Qianqian smiled at the corner of her mouth, "Congratulations to these seven winners, thank you for cooking a variety of dishes for us during the food festival, thank you very much."

After Old Qin and Old Zhu took a commemorative photo with the seven award winners, they stepped off the stage.

The two hosts chatted with these seven winners a bit, asked them to make a brief acceptance speech, and then invited them to leave the stage.

Liu Qianqian looked at the cue card and said, "Next, I'm going to announce the recipient of the third-place bronze award, and that is... Taste Memory."

Old Qian, the chef of Taste Memory, was first taken aback when he heard this.

In previous years, he only made it to the top ten, and this year suddenly entered the top three, a bit of a surprise!

After being reminded by his subordinates, he happily walked out of his booth, passing by Huang Tao's booth, and said excitedly, "Boss Huang, my booth, my booth, won third place..."

"Congratulations! Then you'd better hurry up and go receive your award!"

Huang Tao smiled, also feeling happy for him.

Old Qian rushed to the stage, where he was presented with the bronze award and certificate by Master Wei Mingguo.

Afterwards, Liu Qianqian also announced the booth that won second place in the TOP10.

And that is... International Hotel.

Upon hearing this news, Ma Qingxiong and the others felt a bit disappointed.

After all, in the previous few years, they had always been first place.

It can only be said that this year they encountered strong competitors.

Before going on stage to receive the award, Ma Qingxiong glanced in the direction of the Delicious Restaurant booth.

Indeed!

The first place in his mind is Huang Tao's Delicious Restaurant.

And he admires it sincerely!

He went on stage, received the silver trophy and certificate from Ma Deqiang.

Posed for a photo with Ma Deqiang.

After completing the necessary procedures, he stepped off the stage.

Liu Qianqian picked up the cue card again, said a few official congratulatory phrases, and then deliberately raised her voice, saying, "Next, I will announce the recipient of the TOP10 gold award. Actually, I think everyone present will find this result somewhat surprising."

"Honestly, when I saw this result, I was quite surprised too. Come on, come on, let's have everyone guess who the recipient of the gold award might be?"

Saying this, Ma Yong pointed the microphone in his hand towards the audience below the stage.

The audience, eating melon seeds below the stage, shouted words like "Boss Huang," "So Delicious," "Booth 88."

Upon hearing this, Ma Yong deliberately showed a surprised expression, "Wow, everyone is so smart! You guessed it right away. Indeed, the winner of this gold award is..."

"Delicious Restaurant!" Liu Qianqian's voice suddenly raised by several decibels, and she said passionately, "The excellent performance of Delicious Restaurant at this food festival has been unanimously recognized by the judges and loved by the audience, winning the gold award of the TOP10 this year. Please Boss Huang from Delicious Restaurant come on stage to receive the award."

Huang Tao, upon hearing the news, under the urging of employees like Ding Suqin, hurriedly came to the stage and stepped onto it.

In an instant.

All eyes below the stage focused on Huang Tao.

Huang Tao smiled and waved to the audience below the stage, very composed.

The audience below the stage gave a warm applause.

Everyone felt that Huang Tao deserved the award.

Mi Zhuoqun smiled, holding the trophy certificate with both hands, handed it to Huang Tao and said, "Congratulations, Boss Huang!"

"Thank you!"

Huang Tao nodded with a smile, reached out to take it, and shook hands with Mi Zhuoqun.

Normally, after the gold award is presented, the winner should make a short acceptance speech, but Liu Qianqian and Ma Yong skipped this segment.

Only to see Liu Qianqian smile and say, "Our Boss Huang not only won the TOP10 gold award, but his booth also won the title of 'Most Popular Booth' for two consecutive days, and he won the title of 'Packing King' this year. Therefore, the organizing committee will continue to present him with certificates for 'Most Popular Booth' and 'Packing King' awards."

Mi Zhuoqun continued to present these two certificates and a prize of fifty thousand dollars to Huang Tao.

Mi Zhuoqun looked at Huang Tao with a gaze filled with admiration and respect, "Young man, truly remarkable! Congratulations."

"Thank you!"

Huang Tao thanked steadily and slowly.

At this moment.

An icy prompt sound suddenly echoed in Huang Tao's mind.
