The audience off-stage was waiting for Hailey to mess up and embarrass herself.
They wondered how much of a joke Hailey would seem.
Willow, on the other hand, was very calm. Even if Hailey could not answer correctly, she would have tried at the very least. The most important thing was that she enjoyed the process.
While everyone waited for Hailey to respond with a confused look on her face, she began to speak into the microphone. "Rapeseed oil, edible salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, cooking wine, MSG, a mixture of thirteen spices, onion, and red pepper!"
The emcee was surprised when Hailey spoke up. It was as if he did not even expect Hailey to answer the question.
In fact, he was not even holding the list of ingredients.
After hearing Hailey's response, he quickly retrieved the list of ingredients and carefully checked it.
He was shocked!
Hailey actually did not even make a single mistake!
She even correctly guessed the name of the oil used!
The audience members below the stage were equally surprised.
"Hey, this kid is pretty good. She actually managed to name so many ingredients. Her parents taught her well."
"She's young, but she's very smart. She's very adorable too." Those who liked adorable children could not help but praise Hailey when they saw how plump and cute she was.
"Nobody is afraid of a brave child, but one should definitely be afraid of a cultured one," someone teased.
Just as everyone thought Hailey made it all up, the emcee excitedly announced, "Congratulations, you answered all of it correctly! You may proceed to taste the next dish!"
Willow was stunned. Did Hailey actually name all the ingredients correctly?
How did Hailey know of so many ingredients at such a young age? Was it because she was a gifted foodie?
