Chapter 203： Three-color dumplings

Chapter 203 Three Colorful Dumplings

On the third day after Chen Mo completed the [left and right fight] entry challenge, all 10 qualifying games ended.

 In the end, Chen Mo’s score ranked 12th and Yu Tao’s score ranked 25th. Both of them advanced to the regional finals at the same time.

 At the same time, the specific rules of the finals were also announced.

 The moment he saw the final question, Chen Mo was happy.

 Because the title of the final question is - It’s hard to agree on.

This time the judges are no longer just spiritual chefs, gourmet connoisseurs or celebrity spiritual masters.

In addition to the 10 judges in the preliminaries, there are 10 more special "judges" in the finals, which are food spirits of different shapes!

Most of them are high-level food spirits, and there is also a monarch-level universe egg among them.

 You must know that the taste of each food spirit is very different. Some like spicy food, while others like it light. It is often related to their original food.

 It is an extremely difficult challenge for every Yuling chef to make delicious food that satisfies the tastes of multiple Food Spirit judges.

  But for Chen Mo, who has the entry of [Taste Blender], this is not a problem at all!

 It can make a dish have a variety of different flavors when divided into plates!

 In addition to the changes in the judges, the rules of this competition are also quite interesting.

Each Yuling Chef can get three ingredient packages with different ingredients, such as vegetable ingredient packets, beef ingredient packets, pastry ingredient packets, etc.

Among these three-point ingredient packages, one can be designated by the players themselves, while the other two can be selected through slot machines.

 Competitors need to use the ingredients in these three ingredient packs to make a gourmet meal within 4 hours.

 As for the scoring method, it is still the same as the preliminaries. Ingredient quality score + judges’ score = total score.

Time flies, like a white horse passing by, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

 The day of the finals soon came.

 The venue of the finals is located in the central square of Taoyuan Township.

 At this moment, 50 open kitchens with complete kitchen utensils have been installed in the square. Although the game has not started yet, there are already crowds of spectators all around.

 The actual number of viewers watching the game on TV stations and major live broadcast platforms exceeded 20 million!

  9:00

 Competitors enter.

 Chen Mo and Nuomi Tuanling slowly walked towards the kitchen of No. 9.

 Their number this time is number 9, which is also their lucky number.

“Welcome to the Southeast Division Finals of the 68th Young Chef Competition!”

 In front of the rostrum, there is the familiar figure of the neon cat.

“Let me introduce to you the specific rules of this competition”

 Behind the neon cat is an instrument similar to a slot machine, or in other words, it is a slot machine.

There are three rows of patterns on the slot machine, and the various patterns on them symbolize the food packages that the players will use in this competition.

 Contestants will draw their other two food packages by rotating the food package slot machine.

“Contestants please choose to draw the ingredient packs in turn~ The first person to appear is our first place in the qualifiers—player Liu Yang!”

Following the introduction of Neon Cat, a tall and thin Yuling Chef with a gray airplane head slowly walked towards the slot machine with his food spirit.

This young man who seems a bit unconventional is Liu Yang, the favorite to win the Soul Food Competition.

Liu Yang first locked onto the fish and shrimp ingredient package, and his initial food spirit was the crystal shrimp spirit.

Then he pressed the red button, and the ingredient slot machine began to rotate rapidly...

The scrolling speed of the pattern is getting slower and slower, and the food packages finally locked by the pointer are dried fruit food packaging and snack food packaging.

Liu Yang was stunned for a moment when he saw these two ingredient packages.

 “Isn’t this too unlucky?”

 He straightened the nose of his plane and sighed.

There is almost no ingredient in these two food packages that he can use...

However, with the fish and shrimp ingredients package as a guarantee, it’s not particularly bad.

 According to the ranking of the qualifiers, the players will take the stage one by one to spin the slot machine.

　　Everyone’s choices are similar. They all choose ingredient packages related to their own food.

 Soon, it was Chen Mo’s turn to come on stage.

 “How about we choose the pastry ingredient package?”

 Chen Mo suggested.

 In this case, there is at least a guarantee, and you don’t have to worry even if you draw two weird ingredient packs next.

  After all, Chen Mo currently only knows two entries: "Pastry Master" and "Sichuan Cuisine Yuling Chef". He and Tuantuan are not good at other cuisines.

 “嘤!”

 Tuantuan nodded and immediately locked the bag of pastry ingredients.

 The pastry ingredients package includes white jade glutinous rice flour, blood jade glutinous rice flour, moo milk, high-grade rock sugar, milk powder, red bean powder and other rare ingredients.

 At least making glutinous rice dumplings is definitely no problem.

 “嘤!”

Then Chen Mo equipped himself with the entry of [Wish White Fox] and pressed the start button.

 This entry can slightly increase his luck attribute.

 The patterns on the screen rotate rapidly…

 Five seconds later, the hands slowly stopped.

The patterns on the food package above are fruits of different colors and a piece of pure white tofu.

“The other two ingredient packs that contestant Chen Mo received are the spiritual fruit ingredient pack and the bean product ingredient pack!”

 The host announced the results.

The spiritual fruit ingredient package contains more than ten kinds of rare spiritual fruits such as electric berries, water moon fruits, and golden dragon fruits, as well as rare spiritual fruits such as crimson cherry hydrangeas.

In terms of value alone, it is the highest among all ingredient packages.

The soy product ingredient package contains a series of soy products such as Fengshen soybeans, white jade tofu, and yuba.

“Tuantuan, how about we make three-color dumplings and Mapo tofu this time!”

 Seeing the spiritual fruits of different colors and the snow-white tofu, Chen Mo was thoughtful.

 These two delicacies are a perfect match between the Pastry Master and the Sichuan Yuling Chef!

 “嘤!” (Kuoyi!)

 Tuantuan nodded obediently.

Thancai dumplings are one of its evolved delicacies. Various spiritual fruits need to be crushed and mixed with white jade glutinous rice flour, rock sugar, etc. to form a dough, and then kneaded into a ball.

 Soon, all 50 contestants had chosen their own food packages.

“The next step is 30 minutes of preparation time. Players can use this time to think about the next meal~”

Neon Cat said, and at the same time, the staff began to distribute spiritual materials to each player.

These spiritual materials are prepared by the organizer Taoyuanzhixiang. If the players don’t use them up, they can take them home without extra charge.

The cost of ingredients for these 50 players alone has reached more than 50 million, so it seems reasonable to charge such expensive tickets.

 At the judges' table, the 10 judges from the preliminary round also took their seats one after another. In addition, next to them is the Food Spirit Jury composed of Food Spirits of different shapes.

At this time, a young woman in her 30s with a high ponytail came close to Chen Meng and asked softly:

 “Xiaomeng, who do you think will win the championship in this competition?”

This young woman’s name is Li Sisi, and she is the best friend of Chen Meng’s mother, Jiang Xue. When Chen Meng was young, Li Sisi often took her to various places in the spirit world on spirit beasts, so she had a good relationship with Chen Meng.

 “Liu Yang.”

 Chen Meng opened his mouth and said.

Although she hopes Chen Mo can win in her heart, Liu Yang, as a quasi-master-level Yuling Chef, is like a dimensionality reduction attack in this competition.

“Indeed, there seems to be nothing to guess about this. How about we change the bet?”

 “What to bet on?”

“Let’s bet on whether Chen Mo and Tuan Tuan can break into the top 10. If you win, I will give you a star stone. If you lose, just call me sister Sisi three times in a coquettish tone.”

Li Sisi smiled meaningfully.
