1. Who is the winner of the cooking competition?
The Cooking Competition in Meteor Garden is a very intense one. It was the first time that Dao Ming Si and Hua Ze Lei faced each other in the kitchen and it was also the first time that Hua Ze Lei cooked for Shancai.
Shancai went to watch the Cooking Competition and she was asked by her classmates if they were going to win. She didn’t answer them but instead, she smiled at them. When Dao Ming Si saw Shancai, he waved at her and she waved back at him. After that, she sat down on a seat in front of the stage where they were cooking.
Dao Ming Si was cooking pork while Hua Ze Lei was making noodles. They both were really focused on their dishes and it seemed like they wanted to show their best dishes to Shancai.

Dao Ming Si cooked a dish called “wrath of the heavens” which was his grandmother’s recipe. It was a dish that represents her wrath for not being able to give birth to children. It was made with a lot of spices and hot chili peppers with some raw meat.
The other dish was cooked by Hua Ze Lei which was called “flowers in the mirror.” He said that it is his grandmother’s recipe as well but he admitted that he didn’t do it just like how his grandmother did it. Flowers in the mirror is made up of rainbow corns, cucumber flowers and slices of tomatoes on top of a bed of lettuce leaves.

When he finally made his fried rice for ShuYi, she said it was delicious, but it tasted different from the fried rice that Hua Ze Lei made. She thought that Hua Ze Lei made it for her.
After Dao Ming Si found out what happened, he wanted to win the competition even more. He went to ask Xiao You (a friend of ShuYi) for help. Xiao You gave him an idea about what ingredient Dao Ming Si should add in order to make his fried rice taste like the one made by Hua Ze Lei.
