The first round of the competition ended successfully amid the cheers of the audience.

With their outstanding performance, Yi and another contestant named Bob successfully advanced to the next round and will compete in the next Chef King Contest!

After the game, Lester invited Bai Ming and his party to his private cooking room to rest for a while.

“I know the next game will be extremely difficult.”

As he made tea, he said, "That Bob is not a simple character."

"Really?" Bai Ming nodded thoughtfully.

"You seem to know him well?"

Lester sighed and pushed the teacup in front of everyone.

"More than understanding. After all, he is my junior fellow apprentice."

"What?!" everyone exclaimed in unison.

"Bob is your junior fellow apprentice?!" Amy asked in disbelief.

Lester smiled bitterly, his eyes looking somewhat melancholy.

"That's right. We were from the same school and studied together. We had a very good relationship, but I don't know when Bob's mind changed..."

He took a sip of tea, his brows furrowed.

"Bob became obsessed with all kinds of tricks and pursued the so-called 'ultimate delicacy' by any means necessary. Gradually, he began to deviate from the right path and became obsessed with the so-called 'perfect dish'." Lester sighed, his eyes full of regret.

"In his opinion, the only way is to maximize the potential of the ingredients, even if it means using extraordinary means. Over time, although his cooking skills have become more and more perfect, his heart has become more and more twisted..."

After listening to this, Bai Ming couldn't help but frown.

It's a pity that someone who is so obsessed with food would go astray.

"And how did you persuade him?" Amy asked curiously.

Lester smiled bitterly: "It's more than persuading him. It's simply impossible to persuade him. We had a big quarrel over this, and the brothers became enemies. In the end, he left without looking back and never came back..."

When everyone heard this, they all sighed.

"What a pity." Ah Yi curled his lips.

"We were originally partners pursuing our dream of culinary creation, but we parted ways due to differences in our philosophies."

Lester patted the little dragon's head lovingly.

“So, the most important thing about food is never the ultimate taste, but the mood of enjoying the food. Only with a grateful and joyful heart can you experience the purest beauty of food.”

"That's right!" Bai Ming nodded in agreement.

“No matter how good your cooking skills are, if you lose the original joy of cooking, it will be nothing.”

Lester smiled with relief.

He was sincerely delighted to meet like-minded juniors.

"I hope you can remember what I said. No matter where you go in the future, don't forget your original intention."

Everyone nodded solemnly and kept the old man's teachings in mind.

After a moment, a clear prompt tone was heard on the radio.

"Contestants from Channel 1 and Channel 2, please get ready. The Chef Contest is about to begin!"

"It's time." Lester stood up and patted Hajime on the head.

"Come on, little guy. I believe that with your strength, you will definitely be able to defeat Bob and take the crown of the God of Gourmet!"

Hajime raised his little head confidently.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Lester! I won't let you down!"

It turned and looked at Bai Ming and Amy.

"Dad, Sister Amy, let's go!"

The two smiled at each other, and simultaneously stretched out their fists and bumped them with Hajime's.

"charge!"

......

In the conference hall, lights were shining and voices were bustling.

The host's passionate voice echoed in the air.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Let us welcome two outstanding chefs to the center of the ring!"

Following a round of warm applause, Yi and Bob slowly approached from both sides.

Bob was a tall and sturdy man, dressed in standard chef's attire, with a stern expression.

In comparison, Yi seems a little "petite".

A silly little dragon, standing next to his opponent, looks like a toy doll.

But no one dares to underestimate it.

This seemingly weak little guy actually has amazing talent and an almost obsessive love for food!

"Hey, little one." Bob suddenly spoke with a disdainful tone.

"You think you can challenge me with your limited skills? You really overestimate your own abilities."

Ah Yi puffed up his cheeks and fought back without showing any weakness: "You are the little one! My cooking skills are not exaggerated! Don't cry during the competition later~"

"You!" Bob was so angry that he was shaking all over and his beard was about to stand up.

"Okay, very good! Today I will show you what perfect cooking is!"

Seeing that the two were on edge, the host quickly came out to smooth things over.

"Alright, both contestants, please save your strength! We can compete again later!"

He turned to the audience and announced loudly: "Now, let's reveal the title of this cooking competition! It is..."

The whole audience was silent, with everyone paying attention.

“Creative fish dishes!”

"Wow!" There was an exclamation from the audience.

"This is a very difficult question! Fish is an ingredient that requires freshness and tenderness, and improper handling can easily ruin the taste."

"That's right. And it's even more difficult to show creativity. I wonder what surprises the two contestants can come up with?"

When Hajime heard the question, his eyes lit up.

Fish? That's its specialty!

Well, it’s a delicious dish that I love!

Bob was also confident.

As a seafood chef, isn't it easy to catch a fish?

"The game begins!" With the sound of a gong, the two men immediately took action.

I saw Bob first skillfully processed the fish body with sharp and nimble knife skills, and removed the internal organs and scales in a short while.

Then he opened the kitchen utensil box he carried with him, took out all kinds of strange tools, and started tinkering with something.

In comparison, Ayi seemed much more calm and composed.

It first carefully selected the type of fish, and finally chose a plump dragon stew fish.

Then it began to process the fish. Although its movements were not as smooth as Bob's, they were still quite capable without any unnecessary movements.

"It seems that this little dragon is really capable."

"Yes, these basic skills look solid."

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye an hour had passed.

At this moment, there was a commotion from Bob's side.

"Look! It looks like Bob is about to make a move!"

He took out a plate of tempting fish from the steamer, poured a special sauce on it, and sprinkled various spices on it.

The whole process was smooth and flowing, showing the style of a great chef.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

"Yeah, just smelling it makes me salivate!"

Ayi took a look at his opponent's work and snorted disdainfully.

That's nothing, just a fancy gimmick.

Where is the most precious thing about fish?

Of course it’s the original flavor!

Thinking of this, Hajime became more determined.
