Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 575 Improvisation
After the competition started, Sun Mei was one of the first chefs to get started. When many contestants were still using pen and paper to list the ingredients they needed, she had already started selecting.

The dish that Sun Mei wanted to make this time required a total of 32 ingredients. Without any hesitation, it took her less than ten minutes to select all the ingredients and the side dishes.

Afterwards, she asked the staff for 11 more fruit and vegetable grinders. These 12 grinders were arranged in order on the cooking table, which immediately attracted many people's attention.

With the advancement of technology, chefs have more cooking equipment at their disposal. Since Jean Mantalet invented the fruit and vegetable grinder in 1932, it has gradually become an indispensable tool for chefs.

But it is quite rare to use so many fruit and vegetable grinders at one time.

Sun Mei ignored the looks and comments around him, and began to slaughter and clean the Wenchang chicken according to the procedure.

Put the processed Wenchang chicken into the pot and stew it, then quickly turn to wash other ingredients.

The female host also walked up to Sun Mei at this time and took this opportunity to introduce Sun Mei's identity to the audience in front of TV.

"Chef Sun Mei, who represented Song Xiang Ju, was born into a culinary family and is the granddaughter of the state banquet chef Sun He. She started learning cooking at the age of 6 and was qualified to be the chef at Song Xiang Ju at the age of 8.

“At the age of 10, I won the runner-up in the World Youth Chef Competition. I was extremely talented and was favored by many well-known chefs.

"Chef René Redzepi of Noma restaurant praised her as a new talent in the culinary world that appears once in 30 years.

"But even such a rising supernova did not participate in any competitions, nor did he continue to be active in the culinary world. Instead, he chose to study abroad and unexpectedly chose oil painting as his major."

"This choice also made many people feel regretful." The female host then interviewed a diner who had previously tasted Sun Mei's cooking.

He was an old man who was almost 70 years old. He praised Sun Mei's craftsmanship highly, but at the same time he also expressed a certain degree of concern about her performance in this competition.

After all, Sun Mei hasn't been a chef for a long time. This time she suddenly came back to participate in the competition, and I don't know how good she can still be in the same form as before.

At this time, Sun Mei was completely immersed in cooking and could no longer hear any sound from the outside world.

Even though she has been away from the kitchen for nearly ten years, her every move is still very skilled, whether it is cutting vegetables, peeling or cutting tendons, it is all done neatly and efficiently.

She poured the chopped ingredients into the fruit and vegetable grinder and crushed them quickly. After a while, the 12 fruit and vegetable grinders around her became colorful.

Sun Mei poured the fruit and vegetable paste into a piping bag, and then continued to grind other ingredients until all the ingredients were ground.

She then took out a twenty-inch blue and white moon disk and began her own creation.

She first used mango paste to draw a beach, and then used papaya paste to outline the palm trees on the beach.

"Oh, I see. You use the ingredients as paint and paint on the plate? This way you combine cooking skills with the oil painting techniques you learned while studying abroad."

Sun Mei felt that the voice behind her sounded familiar. She turned around and was startled.

"why you?"

"Why can't it be me?" asked Malu.

"Isn't there a game going on now?"

"That's right, but I asked the staff and as long as I don't disturb other contestants, I can go and watch other people's cooking process."

Hearing this, Sun Mei glanced at the timer on the table. At this time, less than thirty minutes had passed since the start of the game.

There was a look of disbelief on her face. "Are you done with the dishes?"

"No."

"Why don't you just go back and continue working on it instead of just hanging around here?"

“Well, although it’s not finished yet, there’s only the final fermentation and baking left. I’ve put it in the oven and set the timer, so there’s nothing to do next. I’m going to go around and see what everyone is doing.”???

Sun Mei suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, and subconsciously looked at Yu Yitong and David behind Malu, and saw Yu Yitong nodded slightly.

Although she didn't quite understand what Malu was trying to do, he did put his creation into the oven thirty minutes after the start, and then began to walk around the other cooking stations.

Just like an enthusiastic spectator who accidentally entered the stadium.

Moreover, this guy can chat with contestants from various countries in fluent Chinese, although in the eyes of Yu Yitong and David, it is just talking at cross purposes.

"What are you going to draw?" Malu came close to Sun Mei and asked curiously.

"The ends of the earth." Sun Mei did not hide it.

"Ah, stick to the competition area, smart!"

"You should also spend more time on your own dishes, so as not to be eliminated in the first round." Sun Mei advised.

"Well, okay." Malu said this, but walked towards another cooking table.

He first went to see Kawano Zhengming and found that this fake Odagiri Joe was standing in front of the cooking table with his eyes closed, motionless.

The ingredients he brought back were still placed on the table intact.

"Hey, you haven't started yet? Half an hour has passed." Malu said.

Kawano Zhengming opened his eyes and said, "I haven't decided what to do yet."

"Didn't you say you wanted to make the restaurant's signature dish - reef?"

“But I found that the ingredients here are not suitable for this dish.”

"Then you can try another dish on the menu."

"But the problem I mentioned before will still exist." Kawano Zhengming spread his hands, "This is also what I am most worried about, because even if it is the same ingredient, the taste will be different in different places of origin and different seasons."

"Well, is that so? Then what are you going to do?"

"I plan to redesign a dish based on the existing ingredients so that I can maximize the characteristics of these ingredients." Kawano Zhengming said.

"Hey, live creation? That's how you do it on the first day."

Malu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen someone in the group say that Kawano Masayoshi had a strong ability to improvise, and what dishes were served in his isolated island restaurant every day depended on what he could catch.

"Then you just do your best, I won't bother you anymore." Malu said.

"Haven't you figured out what to do yet?" Kawano Zhengming asked when he saw Malu was about to leave.

"No, I'm almost done."

"........."

Malu originally wanted to go to Qi Shanzhu to take a look, but when he thought that she was already nervous, he decided not to disturb her and just looked at her from a distance.

It seems that Qi Shanzhu is planning to make dessert. She is kneading the puff pastry with a serious expression.

Just as Malu was thinking about where to go next, a pillar of fire suddenly rose up in the center of the hall, triggering a series of exclamations.
