Chapter 50: Cooked Noodles Turned into Fried Noodles?
The two of them lived happily together. Time always passed quickly.
At six in the afternoon, the two of them arrived at the broadcast building early.
Before this, the two of them had secretly patronized the live-streams of the other contestants. As the saying went, only by knowing oneself and the enemy could one win a hundred battles.
!!
Compared to them, the other contestants began to sharpen their spears at the last minute.
There were those who read recipes, those who practice, and some even went straight to the chef to learn from him.
Seeing this scene, Chen Che also felt confident. Since no one knew how to do it, it was really hard to say who would win or lose!
As usual, Luo Yuelin was the last to arrive. The contestants of the various groups did not care.
After entering, Luo Yuelin deliberately glanced at Chen Che and the other woman, her eyes filled with hatred.
This instantaneous action was captured by Chen Che and Lin Xi.
Lin Xi frowned slightly and lowered her voice. “She doesn’t seem to like us very much. Is it because we always win and our votes are about to surpass hers that she’s dissatisfied?”
“But this is a fair competition. It’s not up to us to decide who the audience likes.”
“Do you think she was behind all of this?”
After hearing Lin Xi’s words, Chen Che also felt that it was very likely. Luo Yuelin was a rich second-generation heir. If she was the one behind the previous incident, it would be a piece of cake to her.
However, there was no evidence for this matter. He could not confront her face-to-face, right?
Moreover, Chen Che knew very well that he was not a tycoon yet and did not have the strength to compete with the other party. Therefore, it was better to avoid trouble.
If it was really done by Luo Yuelin, it would not be too late to take revenge in the future.
After making up his mind, Chen Che did not want Lin Xi to worry too much. He smiled and comforted her. “Don’t think too much. She might just be jealous.”
“Besides, everything is calm now. Let’s forget about what happened before.”
Lin Xi nodded. “Alright then.”
After a while, the host entered. Seeing that the contestants of the various groups had arrived, he greeted them with a smile, “Hello everybody, we meet again!”
“Tonight’s theme is ‘An Unforgettable Dinner’. I’m sure everyone has already guessed that it’s a boy making delicious food for a girl!”
“The winner will receive $1,000 in cash as a reward. The event reward will still be exclusively sponsored by Daxiang Jewelry!”
“Alright, now please follow me to the restaurant at the side!”
Hearing the prize of $1,000 cash, Chen Che’s eyes instantly lit up. He thought to himself that no matter what, he had to win it tonight!
Soon, everyone arrived at the dining room at the side. What greeted their eyes were ten stir-fried dishes. The ingredients on the surrounding shelves were also relatively luxurious.
At this moment, the host said, “Next, the male guests can choose what to cook according to the ingredients at the studio. The dishes have to be stir-fried, time limit is an hour!”
“The portion of the finished food must satisfy one person. If the female guest can finish it, it proves that the food is delicious. Then, according to the presentation and technique, we will decide who will win in the end!”
“Therefore, everyone’s partners are your best judges. Don’t disappoint them!”
In the first group, Wei Xiaochuan asked, “But if it’s clearly very disgusting, but they still insist on eating it. What should we do? Won’t this affect the final outcome?”
The host smiled. “If you can endure it and finish eating, it will be very difficult for the female guests to forget, right? It won’t go against the core of the theme!”
After hearing this, Wei Xiaochuan did not retort.
At this moment, Chen Che smiled and thought to himself, “Everyone here is pampered. If the food tastes bad, who can endure it and finish it?”
Therefore, the probability of them forcing themselves to finish it was extremely low.
Moreover, Chen Che discovered something interesting. All the seasoning spoons and stir-fry spoons were slightly larger than normal.
Obviously, the production team had also seen many contestants go to learn from their masters. They were afraid that some contestants would imitate them and affect fairness, so they did this.
Seeing that no one had any objections, the host spoke again. “Alright, the competition will begin next. The female guests can wait at their designated seats!”
The timer began. The male guests immediately took action and carefully chose the ingredients they needed.
At this moment, the netizens noticed that Chen Che did not move. Instead, he sat in his seat with Lin Xi.
[What the hell is Old Scrooge Chen doing? He doesn’t know how to cook and just gave up?]
[That’s not right. He clearly said that he had something he was good at during the day!]
[That’s right. I’m still waiting to see! It can’t be nonsense, right?]
While the netizens were discussing, Lin Xi also didn’t understand. She couldn’t help but ask, “When do you plan to start? What exactly is your so-called unique skill?”
Chen Che chuckled. “It’s to preserve the mystery. An hour is too long. It’s not too late for me to appear when they’re almost done.”
Lin Xi frowned and did not ask further.
These words filled the netizens with anticipation. The netizens started discussing fervently again.
Many people even boldly predicted that Chen Che was going to change the cooked noodles to fried noodles?
Only in this way would it not take too much time!
After their analysis and seeing that there were indeed noodles on the ingredients shelf, many people felt that it was possible, but they still had a trace of anticipation for the final outcome.
Seeing this, Luo Yuelin revealed a disdainful smile. She thought to herself that Chen Che was too naive to want to win just by stir-frying noodles!
Li Wei had been learning how to make a dish from the chef all afternoon. It could be said that he had taught him step by step, so precise that he knows how many drops of soy sauce to add.
Li Wei had already memorized the entire process and had done many tests on the spot.
Although the control of the fire was not passable, at least the dishes made were not bad.
Therefore, in Luo Yuelin’s opinion, with the difficulty of the dish and the finished product’s effect, today’s victory would definitely belong to them!
...
A few minutes later, the nine male guests all chose their ingredients and returned to the stove to chop them.
Following the camera, one could tell from the choice of ingredients that some people mainly chose meat, while others mainly chose vegetables. There were really all kinds of dishes.
Not only that, but as the contestants began to operate, it could be seen that their knife skills were not good. Their movements were very slow.
Seeing this, Chen Che felt more confident.
It was not until nearly half an hour later that the nine male guests finally finished processing the ingredients one after another and turned on the fire.
At this point, the scene became lively.
There was a saying that goes ‘what may look easy is difficult to do’.
In the beginning, some people were flustered, forgetting little steps or ingredients here and there.
Moreover, the unpleasant smell of burnt food quickly spread.
When their partners saw this, their faces darkened. They definitely thought to themselves, “You can eat this yourself!”
Compared to the panic of the others, Li Wei looked very experienced. He was the last to open fire. He methodically operated every step, and the production team always gave him close-ups.
...
Seeing this, Luo Yuelin’s face was filled with smugness.
However, her happiness did not last long. When there were only twenty minutes left, Chen Che stood up and entered the venue.
The netizens’ gazes were immediately attracted, and the camera began to follow Chen Che.
