After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1384 - 1383: Gourmet Festival Special Episode

In the blink of an eye, the food festival officially opened.

Before this, a small incident occurred.

The Korea delegation, upon returning to their hotel the day they requested a venue change, found that the Z country accommodations were better and lodged a protest again.

In response, the Z country team remained calm.

After all, the Korea delegation just couldn’t stand others doing well.

The United States, mindful of previous events, ignored the Korea delegation this ti.

Most importantly, Rayne had already learned about the morning incident, and William had taken so redial actions.

As a result, the Korea delegation’s second protest ended in vain.

Despite this little incident, though there was no significant conflict, a rift between the two delegations had indeed ford.

At the World Food Festival, in the Z country pavilion, photos of so Z country specialties, which also cater to Arican tastes, were posted, waiting for diners to choose from.

At first, the crowd wasn’t too large.

As ti went on.

"Is this the Z country pavilion? The one with ’magic’ in Z country?"

Gradually, so who knew WEI was a Z country restaurant started coming here, hoping to discover new "magic."

"Oh, the taste of this tofu and chicken is amazing!"

"Yeah, it’s an ingenious thod and a brilliant combination."

Among the dishes Xia Chuyi and the others prepared, Mapo Tofu and Kung Pao Chicken were the most popular.

Xia Chuyi had already anticipated this in her heart.

In the future, when the internet beca more developed, it was once noted that among foreign-recognized and favored dishes, these two ranked high.

Of course, other top dishes included things like Beijing Roast Duck, but the ingredients and process for roast duck were really hard to accomplish here.

So Xia Chuyi compromised, choosing dishes that were relatively easy to make and could be sourced locally as the main selections.

Thanks to WEI’s influence and the inherent appeal of Z country cuisine, the Z country pavilion gradually beca bustling, attracting more and more dia and diners.

In contrast, the Korea delegation’s side, with a slightly less attractive venue and no influence from WEI, saw moderate foot traffic, neither too much nor too little.

The Korea delegates were displeased with this situation, believing that the success of the Z country pavilion was purely due to their venue choice.

So, after sending soone from Korea to assess the situation at Z country’s pavilion, the Korea delegation decided to issue a challenge to the Z country pavilion on the second morning of the food festival.

The next day, they received a challenge from the Korea delegation.

It was both anticipated and unexpected by Xia Chuyi and the others.

They expected it because they had long known that the Korea side would challenge them.

But it was unexpected because the exhibition lasted seven days, and in the first three to four days, everyone typically allowed each pavilion plenty of ti for diners and dia to appreciate their cuisine. The remaining three days would be for the challenges.

This way, it could ensure that regardless of win or loss, each country would have a certain amount of display ti.

If the challenge ca so early, the losing country would essentially lose that opportunity—sotis interest in plastic countries arose too.

So, issuing an early challenge was essentially trying to deal the opponent a blow right from the start.

Moreover, since the Korea delegation initiated the challenge, they must have been well-prepared in advance, holding a significant advantage.

The Z country side was sowhat on the back foot.
