"My brother-in-law will definitely win. After all, didn't I say that people with good looks will not have bad luck!"

Geng Lele next to him blinked:

"Lao Tzu? Which Lao Tzu?"

Mr. Chen pointed at himself:

"Me!"

In the live broadcast room.

Netizens launched a heated debate on Lin Xu's choice.

"I won the last round by taking the wrong approach. Isn't it going to be the wrong one again this round?"

"In cooking competitions, cold dishes are a points deduction."

"Then how could the plain-cut chicken win last year? Isn't that also a cold dish?"

"You don't expect lotus roots to taste like boiled chicken, do you?"

"I just believe that Boss Lin can win the championship. It doesn't matter what dish he cooks."

"I also believe in him. With such a high level of cooking skills, even if he likes to have fun, he will still be able to cook according to the occasion."

"..."

Amidst such doubts and expectations.

Lin Xu calmly took the lotus root and started peeling it.

After peeling, put the lotus root into water with white vinegar and wash it twice to prevent oxidation and discoloration.

Then, he will pick up the kitchen knife and start slicing.

Lotus root is porous.

Cutting into even slices requires a lot of effort.

Because every time a hole is cut, an empty knife will appear, which can easily cause the kitchen knife's edge to deviate.

If it weren’t for the blessing of perfect techniques.

Lin Xu almost cut his hand several times just now.

At the judges' table.

Geng Lishan looked at Lin Xu who was cutting lotus roots with some confusion.

There are so many chicken, duck, fish and other ingredients to choose from, why did you choose lotus root?

Are you ready to beat the stir-fried meat dishes with cold ingredients?

I don’t quite understand this kid’s choice.

A judge next to him whispered:

"Throughout the entire history of modern cuisine, lotus root dishes were attracted by a cold lotus root dish when the Prime Minister of Japan visited China. He still remembered it after returning and wrote it in his memoirs..."

Geng Lishan was stunned by these words, and then he remembered this beautiful talk.

It seems that the dish was made by the chef of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

This kid doesn’t want to replicate that dish, does he?

Geng Lishan once listed several major regrets, including the legendary lotus root salad.

He doesn’t even know the name of the dish.

But after hearing about that beautiful story, I couldn’t forget it.

"I've also heard of that dish, called white jade lotus root. The leaders of several countries even wanted to eat this dish before they came. I heard it's a reserved dish in Building 2."

White jade lotus root?

Reserved dishes in Building 2?

Geng Lishan's breath froze.

Little friend Lin Xu is participating in the competition on behalf of Building 2.

Could it be that he...

Do you really want to make this white jade lotus root dish?

Over there with the advisory group.

I saw Lin Xu cutting the lotus root into thin slices with a knife.

The group of old masters gradually stopped smiling.

"Lao Gao, isn't this kid going to make white jade lotus root silk?"

"It should be, look at the pride in Lao Gao's eyebrows."

"Damn! What else is there to compare with? Back then, even I... no, not just me, we all seemed to have suffered from this dish..."

Offstage.

When Xie Baomin was watching his junior brother chopping vegetables, he realized that Guo Weidong had sat beside him at some point.

"Lao Xie, is your junior brother going to make white jade lotus root silk?"

Xie Baomin said with a smile:

"That's right. He chose these ingredients and seasonings and couldn't do anything else if he wanted to."

Guo Weidong asked without giving up:

"This dish requires so much knife skills, how can he learn it at such a young age?"

"Dongdong, cooking is not only about hard work, but also about talent. If you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it... What are you going to drink tonight? I'll prepare the wine in advance."

Guo Weidong sighed:

"You'd better tell me where to eat first..."

Xie Baomin pointed to the stage:

"What do you think about letting my junior brother cook for you in his shop?"

"Okay, I'll take Xinghai over tonight and have a good taste of the champion's craftsmanship."

Put aside other dishes.

The sweet and sour pork cooked by my nephew might really struggle.

But as soon as the white jade lotus root silk came out.

There is basically no possibility of a comeback.

After all, this dish is for entertaining distinguished guests. From the presentation to the taste to the texture, everything is impeccable.

Half an hour later.

When Lin Xu neatly placed the prepared white jade lotus root shreds on the plate, the system's beep sounded again:

"The host cooks Master Gao Peisheng's original dishes, triggering the master-disciple task [Passing on the Fire]: The host is asked to learn more than three perfect-level original dishes from Master Gao Peisheng within one year. After completion, the host will be rewarded with two draws of perfect-level lost dishes. Perfect

A lottery draw for top-level cooking techniques."

Lin Xu: "..."

It turns out that Master has more than one original dish.

So what are you waiting for?

Study, study, study!

While he was mentally giving himself a shot of blood, it was time for the game.

The staff delivered the dishes prepared by the contestants to the table.

The judges stood up one after another.

Start scoring!
