Heavenly Gourmet

"Okay, now that everyone has received their own ingredients, let's take our positions and start the final cooking competition!"

The host saw that everyone was ready, so he picked up the microphone and announced after the atmosphere reached a certain level: "Now, I declare that this competition officially begins."

As these words fell, the chefs present suddenly lit the fire as if in tacit agreement.

The entire venue was brightly lit.

The heat waves from the stove instantly raised the temperature here by several levels.

Everyone was swept away by the heat wave, and soon, they were sweating profusely.

“I didn’t expect that this young chef competition would be so lively.”

"Yeah, it would be great if I could compete on this stage one day."

"Tsk, with your level, how can you possibly be on the stage?"

"..."

Many people were whispering and looking towards the competition stage with some envy.

After turning on the stove, Li Chen immediately began to prepare the ingredients.

The ingredients he selected are relatively precious, so they are relatively troublesome to handle.

However, looking at the way he operated, it seemed to be quite smooth.

You can tell at first glance that this kind of person has been training for who knows how long.

"I never thought that this guy is so good at processing food ingredients."

Frowning, Chen Cheng exhaled and spoke slowly.

"Yeah, the Dongchuan Li family is indeed worthy of its reputation. I wonder if those kids can beat this guy."

Wu Qingzhi looked at the graceful Li Chen with a serious expression and spoke.

"It's still a bit difficult to beat that guy. After all, he got full marks in the first two rounds. Even if there is only a one-point difference, I'm afraid there is a huge gap in the level."

Zhou Qing shook his head, a little worried.

"Now the only one with the same score as Li Chen is the owner of Baiweichu."

Liu Dongjin was not interested in who would win the Youth Chef Competition. He came here on behalf of the province to discover talents for the provincial food conference. No matter who won, it would not affect him at all.

"I hope the owner of Baiweichu can win."

Chen Cheng is different. He represents the Sihai City Food Association. If Li Chen wins, it means that the Dongchuan City Food Association has severely slapped the face of Sihai City. In the future, when he participates in provincial conferences, he will definitely be half a head shorter than the Dongchuan City Food Association.

At this time, Li Chen had finished processing all the ingredients, but Lin Hai had not moved yet.

He looked at the ingredients on the stove, seemingly thinking about something.

"What's wrong with that kid? Everyone else is already preparing to cook, but he hasn't even prepared the ingredients yet."

While Zhou Buyan was processing his own ingredients, he looked towards Lin Hai, wondering what the latter was up to.

"Yeah, what kind of dish does this guy want to make? He chooses the ingredients, it doesn't seem like he's cooking."

Xu Changqing also began to grumble in his heart, and finally couldn't help but speak to Zhou Buyan.

……

"Auntie, look at Lin Hai, what is he trying to do?"

Chu Qianqian looked at the table, then looked at Lin Xin and said slowly.

"Green dragon grass, mushrooms, shallots, flour... He wants to make pasta."

Lin Xin carefully looked at the ingredients on Lin Hai's stove, pondered for a moment, and guessed.

"It looks like this little fellow from Baiweichu is going to prepare some pasta."

Seeing that Lin Hai seemed to be about to take action, Liu Dongjin guessed what the other party wanted to cook.

"Flour, Qinglong grass, and shiitake mushrooms. I remember these ingredients. They seem to be a kind of pasta called Qinglong dumplings."

Chen Cheng stared at the ingredients on Lin Hai's stove. After a brief pause, he suddenly remembered.

"Qinglong dumplings?"

As soon as Chen Cheng finished speaking, everyone present widened their eyes, with a look of shock on their faces.

"Is it the Qinglong Dumpling created by the Southwest Dumpling King?"

Wu Qingzhi frowned and said with some disbelief.

"Yes, it is the Qinglong Dumpling created by the Southwest Dumpling King."

Chen Cheng nodded slightly.

"Chen Yu, the King of Southwestern Dumplings, is said to have won the National Noodle Contest with his Qinglong Dumplings. Even the head of state praised the dumplings. I never thought I could see Qinglong Dumplings here."

Liu Dongjin exclaimed in admiration. It seemed that the Qinglong dumplings left a deep impression on him.

"Chen Yu, his Qinglong dumplings are famous all over the world. With northern noodles being the main food, southwestern noodles have gained a place in the world."

Nodding slightly, Wu Qingzhi added.

“This game seems to be getting more and more interesting.”

Zhou Qing smiled with a hint of amusement on his face.

At this time, Li Chen had also reached the final stage of processing the ingredients.

The kitchen knife in his hand moved violently, and countless cold lights flashed. The food instantly split into countless pieces.

Each piece is just the right size.

"Seven-star sword technique?"

When everyone saw this, their faces suddenly changed.

Unexpectedly, this guy also knows the Seven Star Sword Technique.

This Seven Star Sword Technique is also the secret of the Dongchuan Li family.

It is said that this sword technique is extremely difficult to practice. It takes three years to get started, another three years to achieve minor success, and another four years to achieve major success.

Basically, to learn this set of sword techniques, you would have to be over 40 years old.

However, this guy in front of him had already learned the Seven Star Sword Technique when he was only in his twenties.

This shows that this guy is also quite talented in cooking.

Not only Li Chen, Zhou Buyan, and Wu Zheng also used the techniques they were most proud of to process the ingredients.

It's like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.

Lin Hai looked at the pile of ingredients in front of him, and the cooking method of Qinglong dumplings echoed in his mind.

Then, he began to knead the dough.

Qinglong dumplings not only have extremely high requirements on ingredients.

There is also a special sense of layering in terms of flavor.

The taste of the first bite is related to the dumpling skin.

The quality of the dumpling wrapper is the key to making Qinglong dumplings.

If the dumpling skin is not delicious, then the whole dumpling will not be delicious either.

Even if the filling is good.

To no avail.

Then, Lin Hai picked up the flour bag and poured some into the basin.

However, he did not start by kneading the flour into dough. Instead, he picked up the Green Dragon Grass and held it tightly.

Soon, the Qinglong grass began to ooze out juice.

The juice entered the flour, and the latter quickly turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This green color gives the flour a emerald green color, which looks delicious and tempting.

After the Qinglongcao juice and the dough were mixed together, in just a moment, the dough burst out with a strange fragrance.

This fragrance contains the aroma of wheat and green dragon grass, and quickly spreads around.

“This smells delicious.”

"Yeah, I've never smelled such a strong aroma of wheat."

“Not many people can enhance the taste of flour to such an extreme, right?”

Many people felt somewhat puzzled when they smelled this smell.

"The combination of Qinglong grass and flour can indeed produce an effect where one plus one is greater than two."

Not only the audience, but even the four judges on the jury panel were more amazed after smelling this unique wheat aroma.

It has to be said that Lin Hai's cooking skills have impressed the four judges.
