As he spoke, Lei Yuhang opened the lid of the pot. This dish had stir-fried glutinous rice at the bottom, topped with red sturgeon, which is a fat and delicious mud crab.
"To serve a plate of glutinous rice in such a competition, but given how delicious this dish smells, I'll let it pass. I'll start tasting now."
Looking at the Eight Treasure Sturgeon Rice in front of him, the judge felt a surge of hunger, and a strange craving grew from the depths of his heart. A spoonful of glutinous rice paired with crab roe, and a rich umami flavor exploded in his mouth!
"Hmm!"
Suddenly, the judge stopped, his muscles bulging. He picked up the rice in front of him and ate it in large mouthfuls, shouting as he ate, "What delicious glutinous rice!"
"During the process of stir-frying the glutinous rice, I added crispy fried shallots, dried squid, finely shredded skinless pork belly, and also added dried scallop meat as an ingredient.
The pork belly is stir-fried until fragrant, then add shredded mushrooms, shredded squid, and dried scallops and stir-fry until fragrant. Then pour in the glutinous rice and stir-fry it from raw to cooked, adding delicious broth multiple times in between, stir-frying for half an hour.
After stir-frying, the glutinous rice is simply seasoned, then placed on a lotus leaf to enhance the lotus leaf aroma, and finally paired with plump red sturgeon and steamed for eight to nine minutes to cook this Eight Treasure Sturgeon Rice!"
Watching the judge eat with relish, Lei Yuhang explained the cooking process of the dish. For him, this was just a common dish and didn't require much skill.
"The deliciousness of the red sturgeon is fought for in the sea. They lurk at the bottom of the sea all day, battling the currents, and thus grew into their current sturdy and plump form. Not bad, this reminds me of my younger days."
A hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes. The events he experienced in his youth appeared before him like a revolving lantern.
As a chef, how could he not know about ingredients like red sturgeon? And wasn't he the same? Like the red sturgeon! Fighting in society, honing himself, and finally gaining a strong body!
"Kid, you've passed!"
Suddenly raising the gun in his hand, looking at Lei Yuhang, whose eyes showed no fluctuation, the old man shot out a piece of paper with the word "Passed" written on it, and Lei Yuhang left the examination room after receiving the paper.
As soon as he walked out of the examination room, his calves went weak and he squatted down directly. The old man pulling out the gun just now had scared him silly, and he only reacted with a delayed realization now.
"Damn, why don't I just go home? I really thought I was going to be killed just now. This BLUE isn't worth participating in!"
His heart was pounding, and for the first time, Lei Yuhang had the thought of retreating. Can a gun be used in public?! If he got shot and died, it would be a huge loss.
"You're so spineless, it's just a fake gun. Look how scared you are."
"Tsk, you're not the one being pointed at with a gun, of course you're talking trash here!"
A crisp voice came from not far away. Lei Yuhang looked up after hearing the voice, then saw a loli face, still biting a lollipop, looking like a contemptuous, childish imp.
"Useless brother, I told you to achieve something, otherwise you wouldn't have to struggle from the First Gate. As soon as I talk to you, you start playing bishojo games, it's disgusting."
Looking at Lei Yuhang squatting on the ground, Lei Lingling couldn't help but mock him, covering her mouth with her finger in a feigned gesture, but her smile couldn't be hidden at all.
"Tsk, as expected, a real sister isn't cute at all."
Looking at Lei Lingling's smug look, Lei Yuhang couldn't help but curl his lips, then, without getting up, he picked up his handheld game console and continued playing the bishojo game.
At the same time, to avoid hearing her voice, he deliberately put on headphones.
"Easy peasy. This level of test can only make things difficult for chefs with poor skills."
Looking at Lei Yuhang, who had easily passed the assessment, Hoshino Sora said mockingly to Saiba Asahi, then patted Erina Nakiri's shoulder: "We still have some things to do, so we won't keep you company here."
"Walk slowly, don't see us out."
Looking at Lei Yuhang, who was shining brightly on the screen, and Yukihira Soma, who had just started cooking, then turning his gaze to Hoshino Sora, who was embracing Erina Nakiri's waist and leaving, Saiba Asahi's eyes were filled with a hint of gloom, and he also turned and went back.
After that, powerful individuals successively passed the assessment. From the final results, not many people were eliminated in the First Gate, and not a single chef from China failed.
This is quite different from the original work.
"Come on, I believe in you."
Kissing Erina Nakiri's forehead, Hoshino Sora said softly, his eyes filled with love for her. A multi-person battle, this was also a good trial for her.
"Then you also have to pass the Second Gate smoothly. I don't want to see you in the loser's examination room."
Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, Erina Nakiri said softly, then resolutely walked into her own battlefield.
"Of course."
Looking at Erina Nakiri's determined back, Hoshino Sora softly uttered two words, then headed towards the direction of the Second Gate.
In this assessment, there were far more strong competitors than he had imagined. A full seventy percent of the people passed the First Gate. It seemed that winning the championship smoothly was not an easy task.
But, he must win!
