Chapter 582 Second Round

"They actually made 8 servings..." Malu said with a sigh as he looked at the row of plates on the table.

"Well, because replicating is more difficult than I thought," Sun Mei admitted, "I've been trying various methods this afternoon, but I haven't been able to complete it."

"But I remember you said before that as long as a chef sticks to his own path, it's fine. No matter how good other people's paths are, it has nothing to do with you... something like that."

"This has nothing to do with the road," Sun Mei said, "I just want to understand the skills involved."

"Give up, you can't do it." Malu said bluntly.

He had a good impression of Sun Mei, so he didn't want Sun Mei to get stuck in a dead end.

Lao Wang is not an ordinary chef. This not only means that his cooking skills are better than other chefs, but most importantly, he is not a human being.

Therefore, he can complete many operations that human chefs cannot do, and his control of precision has reached an astonishing level.

Take cutting potato shreds for example. The shreds cut by an ordinary housewife may vary in thickness, which can be seen at a glance.

The thickness of potato shreds cut by trained professional chefs is very different, and can basically be controlled within 0.5mm, which cannot be seen unless you look closely.

But Lao Wang can really cut the potato shreds into exactly the same thickness as long as he wants, or he can control the precision to the nanometer level.

The dish "Baked Steamed Buns" may seem simple, but it is actually the result of Lao Wang's perfect combination of control and calculation capabilities.

This is beyond the limits of human beings and cannot be achieved by just trying hard.

However, Sun Mei misunderstood and raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Is this a declaration of war?"

"This is not a declaration of war," Malu shook his head, "I am just stating a fact. If you don't believe me, I can demonstrate it to you. After watching it, you should understand the gap between us."

“No, I haven’t given up. It’s just that I have failed too many times today, and I can’t deal with the ruined dishes. If you give me some more time, I will definitely be able to replicate the success.” Sun Mei said.

"Well, if you insist," Malu shrugged, "I can also help you deal with these failed works."

"There are only three of us, we can't eat so much." Kawano Zhengming reminded.

"It doesn't matter. I've made a lot of new friends in the past two days. Some of them may not have had dinner yet."

"Thank you so much." Sun Mei said, "I have sent a message to Lele, and I can handle two copies myself."

"That leaves only six copies left. Leave them to me."

Millipede snapped his fingers.

In his opinion, dealing with bad dishes is just a simple matter. After all, for a chef of Sun Mei's level, the so-called failure refers more to failing to meet his expectations, but the taste is actually not too bad.

If Sun Mei hadn’t insisted that these failed works could not be sold to the public, Malu would even have considered making a blind dinner box and selling these baked buns to the public jury.

Bid it at 19.9 and it will be sold out in minutes.

After all, the food in a five-star hotel restaurant isn't any better than this, and the price is more than ten times more expensive.

But even if they don't sell it, it's easy to solve. Give one to Kawano Zhengming and one to Pevera, the Indonesian female chef who discussed the use of spices with him last night.

Afterwards, Malu took two copies and gave them to Yu Yitong and David, and received their thanks. He took the remaining two copies to find Qi Shanzhu.

Qi Shanzhu opened the door and was very touched to see Malu bringing her food. She also invited Malu to go into the room to eat together.

After passing the first round, unlike other contestants, Qi Shanzhu felt completely relaxed.

Because she knew that with her level, she would not be able to make it to the second round, so she didn't feel any pressure.

Just now, she was listening to music and editing videos in the room. She also asked David for the video footage shot in the swimming pool in the afternoon, and planned to post it on her Instagram after returning home. Because of the camera, Qi Shanzhu and Malu only talked about some interesting stories about opening a store and becoming an internet celebrity during dinner.

However, when Malu left after dinner, Qi Shanzhu winked at Malu when the camera couldn't capture her.

Malu understood what he meant and didn't hang around outside for too long. He went back to his room and went to sleep before nine o'clock.

Yu Yitong just thought that he was preparing for tomorrow's game, so she said good night to him and left with David.

As a result, at eleven o'clock, Malu heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Qi Shanzhu wearing pajamas and holding a glass of red wine.

Qi Shanzhu stayed in Malu's room until half past one before leaving.

The next morning, Kawano Zhengming saw Ma Lu breathing heavily while eating breakfast, and asked curiously, "Boss Ma, did you not sleep well last night?"

"Well, I forgot the time while playing games. Wait, why did you say that?"

"Because I just saw Sun Mei, she didn't sleep well either."

“Does she play games, too?”

"Probably not. It seems that he is still studying your dish 'Baked Buns' after he returned."

"Well, she is really persistent."

Malu had already finished a bowl of rice noodles and fried rice, and went to get a plate of fruit. "By the way, is there any news about what to compete for today?"

"No." Kawano Zhengming said, "But the second day of previous sessions is usually themed creation, and this year should be no exception."

"Theme creation?"

"It's just about setting a theme and letting the contestants come up with something new. Previously, there were themes like seafood, noodles, black truffles, etc. Oh, and there was also one session where we limited the cooking equipment and only gave them a soup pot."

"Well, wouldn't that be unfair to some people? For example, Master Luang Phor Sen only cooks vegetarian meals. What if he encounters a meat-related topic?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. Theme creation is like this. There will always be topics that some people are good at and some are not. Just like being a chef and running a restaurant, sometimes you will encounter all kinds of troubles. You may be lacking some ingredients, or even several ingredients, and you need to solve them yourself."

Sun Mei's voice came from behind Malu. At first, she sounded serious, but towards the end she couldn't help but yawn.

As a result, the millipede also yawned as if it was infected.

"Okay, let's go see what today's topic is."

After finishing their meal, the three of them came to the competition hall and found that the cooking tables from yesterday were still there, but more than half of them were missing, which meant that more than half of the people had been eliminated. The various kitchen utensils were no different from the first day.

It seems that this round of competition will not be about cooking equipment.

When all the contestants arrived, someone discovered that the podium was still empty and none of the previous thirteen experts showed up.

On the other hand, the audience seats at the back for the public jury were already full of people, all with eager expressions on their faces.

Some people with quick minds have already guessed something.

"So, is public judging used here?" Sun Mei pondered.

The female host didn't waste any time. After a brief opening statement, she revealed the theme of the event.

After hearing the content of the second round of competition, Malu couldn't help but laughed out loud on the spot.
