Heavenly Gourmet

"If you want to beat me, you have to show your strength instead of just talking."

Lin Hai glanced at Li Chen. This guy was really annoying.

Don’t you see that I don’t want to pay attention to you?

"you!"

Li Chen was rebuked and the anger in his chest suddenly rose up.

This guy is simply looking for death!

"Hmph, in this third round, I will definitely let you know how powerful I am!"

Li Chen said coldly, his face becoming even gloomier.

"I hope you can do this."

Lin Hai shrugged and patiently selected the dishes he needed to cook.

Li Chen didn't say anything either and started to choose.

Lin Hai stood in the food area, looking at these precious dishes, thought of the recipe of Qinglong dumplings, and began to look for the ingredients for Qinglong dumplings.

But Li Chen obviously took a different path from Lin Hai. Most of the ingredients he selected were extremely precious.

It seems like he wants to make a precious delicacy.

"This Li Chen is quite good. He chooses relatively expensive things. The taste made by this is definitely much stronger than that made by ordinary ingredients."

On the judges' podium, Liu Dongjin said calmly.

"I don't really agree with this view. Although the ingredients are good and can better bring out the flavor of the ingredients themselves, those ordinary ingredients are the closest to us. Whether it is the taste or the shape, they are much easier to handle than those precious ingredients."

Chen Cheng shook his head and expressed his inner thoughts.

"That's right. Let's see which of these two people is better."

Liu Dongjin did not refute. Although he was also optimistic about Lin Hai, Li Chen was a young chef from the Dongchuan Li family, who was comparable to the three major gourmet families in Sihai City.

However, Wu Qingzhi and Chen Cheng seemed to be more confident about Lin Hai.

After Li Chen selected the ingredients, he stepped back into his competition area, waiting for the competition to begin.

After selecting the ingredients for cooking Qinglong dumplings, Lin Hai returned to his seat.

"The ingredients you chose are ridiculous. They are all cheap stuff. How can the dishes you make compare to mine?"

Pursing his lips, Li Chen started to mock again.

"A true chef can make the ingredients taste natural, regardless of whether they are good or bad. An amateur like you would never know that."

Naturally, Lin Hai would no longer tolerate Li Chen's ridicule, and directly retorted.

"you!"

Li Chen was choked again.

"It's hard to say who will win or lose in this round."

Lin Hai added another sentence.

Li Chen's face turned pale and he stopped talking.

After Lin Hai and Li Chen finished selecting their own ingredients, Zhou Buyan and others also finished their selections one after another.

By the last person, the originally full plate of ingredients was reduced to only a potato.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, but no one dared to laugh.

"Fuck, there's only one potato left?"

The last contestant's mouth twitched, and he looked a little unwell.

He never expected that in the end, only one potato was left of the entire ingredient.

Others also whispered, with some sympathetic eyes: "No way, this guy only got a potato."

"Haha, this is too miserable."

"One potato can only be made into one shredded potato."

"The shredded potatoes are good too, at least they taste good."

"..."

The last contestant was holding two potatoes in his hands, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching.

What the hell?

A potato?

"Fuck..."

After holding it in for a long time, the last contestant finally uttered these two sentences.

This is just terrible bad luck.

However, this last contestant had no intention of withdrawing from the competition.

Many of the audience members below are bosses from various catering industries. Since I have made it to the third round, I am qualified to catch the eyes of these bosses.

This will definitely bring huge benefits to these bosses.

Therefore, his purpose of coming here is not to compete for the first place, but to enter the third round and have a good future.

After all, a potato certainly can't get first place.

"This time, I will show you my true strength."

The more Li Chen thought about it, the angrier he became, and he once again threatened Lin Hai.

"It seems that the championship this time is not ours."

Zhou Buyan looked at Xu Changqing and Wu Zheng and said with a smile.

"I thought it was a dark horse, but I didn't expect this guy to be so thorough and leave us far behind."

Wu Zheng sighed, seeming to have accepted his fate.

"What's the big deal? We still have a chance!"

Xu Changqing hesitated for a moment. He was the most outstanding young chef in the Xu family. If he really lost here, it would be a huge blow to him.

What's more, his self-esteem would not allow him to lose.

Zhou Buyan and Wu Zheng didn't say anything about this. With Li Chen and Lin Hai around, they were afraid that the championship would not be decided by them.

As everyone got their ingredients, the host came out again: "Okay, now all the ingredients have been distributed, so let's announce the second rule."

After the host finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then continued, "Everyone has three hours to cook, but there is only one batch of ingredients, which means everyone only has one chance. The final dish will be given to the judges to taste and decide the final score, which is still a full score of 100."

Everyone nodded. Although they knew that each judge had different tastes, the scoring was generally fair and just.

“Does everyone else understand?”

The host looked at the contestants and they all nodded.

Lin Hai breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally the third round. His performance in the first two rounds was pretty good. This third round would determine whether he could become the champion of this year's Youth Chef Competition.

Li Chen looked at Lin Hai, and a bad feeling vaguely emerged in his heart, but he immediately suppressed this feeling.

He knew why he came to Sihai City this time.

There is no other purpose, just to get first place!

As long as he gets first place, he will be the most outstanding young chef contestant when he returns to Dongchuan City. He can even be recommended by the city to study in the Guangming Gourmet Class and become a subsequent member of the Guangming Gourmet Club.

I came here with the hope of Dongchuan City.

but……

If you lose, you have nothing.

If I return to Dongchuan City, I will only be second place for a thousand years!

"I've been the runner-up for too long. This time, I must take first place!"

Li Chen gritted his teeth and said secretly in his heart, and determination appeared in his pair of dark eyes again.

Chapter 226

Li Chen knew that if he really failed, he would be severely punished when he returned to Dongchuan City.

Therefore, this time, we must not lose!

Lin Hai glanced at Li Chen, knowing that the latter would also use his most powerful strength in this round.

"call."

Lin Hai heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. To be honest, he himself was also under some pressure in the third round.

Now he and Li Chen have the same score. Even if there is only one point difference in the third round, it will be quite fatal.

Therefore, he cannot afford to be careless in this competition.
