"We're not exactly using the backdoor," Romance, feeling a bit awkward under Chen Yiyang's gaze, quickly explained, "Mayu's standard in making French puff pastry meat pies is already top-tier.
Getting the championship shouldn't be a problem for her, it's just that there are a few chefs in this competition whose French puff pastry meat pies are also quite decent.
When judged purely on quality, the result is really hard to predict."
"But for this kind of less significant French cuisine competition, if there's a Japanese contestant and their level isn't too poor, the judges will try to give the award to the Japanese," Romance hurried to add.
"Why," Chen Yiyang asked with curiosity.
"Because Japan is also an important part of modern French culinary culture," Romance stated matter-of-factly. "If you understand the history of French cuisine, you should know that Japan has made significant contributions to the modernization and international promotion of French cuisine."
