Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 595 Universe
The chef with the lowest score in the third round was Chef Fan Yixin, who made coconut beef tart.

Fan Yixin had obviously reached her limit. Her hands were shaking while she was cutting the vegetables. Also, because she forgot to add black pepper twice, the taste of black pepper in the final product overshadowed the coconut flakes on top.

In the end, he only got 3 points.

Upon learning that he was eliminated, Fan Yixin felt disappointed but also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

The audience also gave her warm applause.

Fan Yixin was relieved, but the remaining four people still had to continue fighting.

After the fourth round of the competition started, the first thing Luo Junkang did was not to cook, but to turn on the faucet and wash his face.

I tried to cool down my overloaded brain in this way, and then quickly thought about what dish to cook next.

To be honest, after making three coconut-themed dishes, he no longer wants to touch anything related to coconut.

But there was no other way. Since he was not eliminated, he had to keep going. Luo Junkang estimated that he would get coconut ptsd after the competition.

Although he was thinking this, his hands were already busy again.

However, he didn't have much time left.

His cooking speed was not slow, but he was not good at this kind of time-limited creation, and he took a lot of detours in the previous rounds.

There are only 33 minutes left, so he is only slightly better than Malu, and he is not like Sun Mei and Malu who have been preparing for the rest from the beginning.

He had a premonition that even though he survived the last round, he would be sent away this round as well.

But out of respect for the competition system, Luo Junkang still plans to struggle a little longer.

But it was obviously too late to cook a dish according to the normal process now.

Luo Junkang had no choice but to take an unconventional approach and shifted his attention to the pile of waste.

But before he could do anything, he saw the millipede opposite him had already set the timer.

So fast?
Luo Junkang took a breath of cold air. This round of competition had only started for less than 2 minutes, but the dish was already ready. Is he still a human being?
Sun Mei followed closely behind and took a photo of the timer after just six minutes.

Ten minutes later, Luo Junkang also finished cooking. The last one was Kawano Zhengming, who took a total of 10 minutes, just 19 minute later than Luo Junkang, which was actually the longest.

The audience at the scene could feel that everyone generally started to speed up in this round, but being fast was not enough, they also had to ensure that they did not fall behind.

Malu won first place for a rare occasion. The staff brought his dish to the judges' seats, and this time he even covered the plate with a lid.

It also made the judges more curious about what was inside.

Gaggan Anand couldn't wait to open the lid and saw an egg inside.

Eh? Where's the shape you agreed on?

Ever since Hajime Yoneyama saw that Malu intended to adopt a dual theme and incorporate the color, fragrance, taste, shape, meaning and nourishment of Chinese food into his creation, several judges have been secretly guessing what shape his next dish will take.

Is it to show off your knife skills by carving a Chinese dragon out of coconut? Or to turn the painting on the plate into a 3D real scene? Or some other unique shapes.

In short, with the experience of the previous rounds, the judges are ready to be shocked again.

It turns out that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. When the answer was revealed and everyone found out that it was just an ordinary egg, they felt like they were being scammed by a telecommunications scam.

…………

No one spoke for half a minute.

Half a minute later, Rocky Chen coughed twice. "Well... objectively speaking, the time is indeed a bit too tight. It's not realistic to expect Chef Malu to put too much effort into the appearance. Let's taste it first."

Olette Huppert also tried to smooth things over, saying, "The idea of ​​the dual theme was originally proposed by Chef Yoneda Hajime. Chef Malu has never acknowledged it, so we shouldn't put too much pressure on him."

That being said, disappointment is inevitable when expectations are dashed.

Just as Rocky Chen was about to reach out to grab the egg, he heard Malu suddenly say, "Wait a minute."

"Chef Malu, do you have anything else to say?"

"Wait a little longer." Malu looked at the time on the traveler's bracelet, "This dish has a time limit, and because the plate was brought up by the staff, I deliberately left a little extra.

“只要再等5、4、3、2、1秒，好了，请慢用吧。”

As Malu uttered the last word, the ordinary white egg on everyone's plate actually changed and a crack appeared.

The gap became bigger and bigger, and finally split into two.

The contents of the egg were revealed.

The contents of each egg are actually different.

Indian chef Gaggan Anand's egg "born" a sturdy monkey with six arms and roaring to the sky.

Olette Huppert's plate features a giant konjac with many faces.

Rocky Chen's is a mini ginseng.

However, the apple tree that Yoneyama Hajime had was one that looked like a block of lead.

The four of them were stunned, because the thing on the plate was so lifelike that for a moment they almost thought it was hatched from eggs.

But soon, the four of them realized that this was just food.

"ice cream?"

Gaggan Anand moved his face closer and felt the slight coolness coming from the big monkey with six arms.

"Interesting, no, it's breathtaking! Does this dish have a name, or are you going to keep calling it coconut?"

"No, this dish is called 'Universe'." said Malu.

"Oh, by the way, I remember the name of your restaurant seemed to be the Infinite Universe Canteen," Olette Huppert interrupted.

"It seems that you, Chef Malu, are also an astronomy enthusiast, but I don't understand what this dish has to do with the universe."

But Yoneyama Hajime was concerned about something else.

"How did the eggshell crack by itself?"

Malu replied with something irrelevant, "We are in Sanya now."

"That's obvious. Wait," Yoneda Hajime pondered for a moment, "Are you talking about the temperature?"

"Yes, the eggshell itself was cracked, otherwise I wouldn't be able to put the food in. Then I mixed some sauce of the same color as the eggshell, applied it on the cracks, and used freezing to seal the cracks. This way, if you don't look closely, you can't tell that the egg has been opened."

Malu shrugged, "As for why the eggshell cracked later, it's because we are in Sanya, where the temperature is high, and the eggshell is directly exposed to the outside.

"After taking it out of the refrigerator, it will warm up first. As long as you wait for a while, the ice at the joint will melt, and then the eggshell will naturally crack under the action of gravity."
