Who gave this heretical practitioner permission to cook?

Chapter 210 The contestants face numerous difficulties; Xia Ming's "Special Qualivakaso" (Second Update)
"Inside the competition venue"

55 minutes have passed.

After finishing making coconut milk, Miao Zeyang decided to drink the last coconut he had on hand.
Looking at the blazing sun in the sky…

He only realized later that there were pits in the production crew's set.

But it was too late; the sweat had already taken away a large amount of salt from his body.

This led to him suddenly finding his tongue had become dull when it came to the most crucial stage of cooking: seasoning.

He understood that this was a signal from his body, and if he ignored it...
Next, he will experience a "metallic bitterness" in his mouth.

At that time, he will completely lose his ability to season.
So he could only drink the coconut he had at the exact time, hoping to regain some of his tongue's sensation.

"Hurry up, hurry up and finish it so everything will be fine!"

As Miao Zeyang raced against time...

The situation wasn't going well for Maca either, which was not far away.

She rarely prepares food on a completely open beach, somewhat underestimating the power of the local sea breeze.

This caused her to waste a little more time starting the fire.

Although she later made adjustments, according to the calculations, she didn't have enough time to prepare "Luowo goat meat" using the pit-roasting method.

After thinking for a moment, she finally decided to play it safe...

She then changed the original dish to "Philippine-style roasted lamb"!
As for whether this will result in points being deducted.
Rather than being eliminated outright, Maca couldn't care less about that at this moment.

Viewers in the live stream couldn't help but laugh at her behavior.

[IP Eagle: Barbecue again? Is barbecue all this girl can do?]

[IP Hua: They probably didn't have enough time for other things! But two consecutive barbecues are definitely tough to handle.]

[IP Bear: I think the barbecue is great, it's very delicious!]

[IP Hua: Wow, eating barbecue on such a hot beach, isn't that sure to cause internal heat? Can anyone really eat that?!]

[“IP Kangaroo”: What’s with the heat? Filipinos don’t have the same concept of traditional Chinese medicine as Malaysians. You often see open-flame barbecues on the roadside, served with coconut water, and the locals seem to enjoy it!]

[IP Hua: Big gold chain, small gold watch, three meals a day of barbecue~ Barbecue is so delicious~ Just thinking about it makes me happy~]

As Maka races down the road to becoming the "Queen of Wilderness Barbecue".

However, Miki Mori encountered a series of problems.

Although she caught a lot of sea fish, only two of them were suitable for making "Kokoda".

For fish like sardines, which are rich in oil and have a slightly fishy smell, soaking them in fruit juice for such a short time is unlikely to be effective.

However, she thought that there were only 11 judges to eat, and as long as the portions were controlled well, there wouldn't be enough to go around.

Fortunately, the amount of juice extracted from the lemons and tangerines was just right, preventing the fish from being usable due to insufficient soaking time.

But before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, she discovered that coconut milk was more difficult to handle than she had imagined.

The wind at the beach is sometimes strong and sometimes weak. When the coconut meat is still a whole piece, the wind can't do much about it, but once it's cut into small pieces, the situation changes.

A gust of wind came by, and the lighter pieces of coconut meat were blown everywhere.

After finally finding something to block the wind, we surrounded it.

Miki Mori was finally able to continue cooking.
But at this moment, she discovered that she had a slight fever.

Thinking of the contestant who was carried away and immediately eliminated, Mori was startled.

I forced myself to cheer up.

"There will be a rest period after it's over, then you can get the injection then."

"Keep going! You've already done more than half, you can definitely do it!"

Unlike Mori, who was soaked to the bone by the rain.

It didn't rain in Koyama Seizo's area, so he didn't have any fever symptoms.

At this moment, he was carefully calculating the time it would take for the mutton to simmer in the pit.

Indeed, compared to maca's direct alteration of cooking methods, Seizo Koyama, as the "master chef of the main family," chose to take a risky approach.

According to his calculations, the time he had in this position should be enough for him to finish burning the pit.

Now, all he needs to do is prepare a sauce first.

McGrady and Carry have coincidentally chosen to play together again this time.

The former relied on his previous experience with the show to catch enough mud crabs.

The latter, having failed in his goat hunt, was now preparing seafood, just like Mori. Watching Carrey scoop over a bowl of seawater to add a touch of piqué flavor to his dish, Maddie was completely dumbfounded.

"No, old buddy, are you serious?"

"This stuff is all salt, what kind of taste will it have if you use this fish?"

Carlyle, however, said he knew what he was doing.

Seeing this, McGrady shook his head helplessly and then turned around to deal with his "Udivaka".

He understood perfectly: coconut milk was time-consuming, but bananas were easy to process.

Compared to other dishes, this dish is the most stable in this environment.

As for the rating issue, McGrady decided to improve the recipe for "Udivaka".

"I found some pandan leaves on the mountain, although they don't enhance the sweetness of Udivaka."

"But adding it can give it a hint of herbal flavor, and when combined with the juice squeezed from a ripe mango, it should be able to simulate the taste of 'wine.'"

Beside his two old rivals, Wilderness Coach "Arisa" is currently simmering curry.

Compared to other contestants who innovated on the "exam questions," she felt that a dish from another country made with local ingredients and rich in local flavor would be more innovative.

So, based on the ingredients she had, she decided to make a tomato curry-flavored "curry crab".

It doesn't look like a crab shell, nor does it look like a crab shell dish; she chose to use diced crab.

"This approach actually aligns with the local style of simplicity and naturalness."

"In this environment, you don't need anything too complicated. You just need to bring out the flavor that belongs to the Fiji people."

Compared to the people mentioned above, businessman Roy's situation is much worse.

He didn't know much about the wilderness to begin with, and he came to participate in the competition to promote his new store.

So, without a map or extra tools, he didn't get much food on the island.

After much difficulty, he managed to cobble together a "Udivaka" dish, but when he opened the coconut he had picked up along the way, he was completely dumbfounded.

Unlike others, he couldn't climb such tall coconut trees, so he had to pick them up.

He drank two coconuts without any problems and was quite pleased with himself, thinking he had found perfectly ripe coconuts that had fallen naturally.

In retrospect, it seems that only the first two happened to be good; as for the later ones…

It's most likely from the storm that hit that area earlier...

But no matter what the coconuts went through, once he opened all the coconuts he had, there weren't many that were actually usable.

This is clearly not enough to make 11 servings of "Udivaka".

After some thought, he decided to add fresh water.

Looking at the pale coconut milk in front of him, Roy gritted his teeth.

"It's alright. Many people probably won't make it in time. As long as I serve this dish, they'll at least survive until they advance!"

As time ticked by, the faster contestants began serving their dishes to the judges.

However, most of them were rushed and the quality was questionable.

Fortunately, Fijians like to use coconut milk, so even if some dishes are a little bland, they don't taste bad.

Otherwise, the judges would already be suffering.

During the event, one contestant fainted on site, but when the rescue team arrived, he managed to get up despite his exhaustion.

Then, dragging his weary body, he presented a semi-finished dish.

While their spirit is commendable, the judges were ruthless in their scoring.

In the end, this guy from the UK went for treatment with a score of 28. Although he looked terrible, at least he wasn't eliminated.

Although, this is basically the same as being eliminated...

Shortly after this contestant passed by, Xia Ming calmly raised his hand.

Then, under the guidance of the host.

He also brought his own dish to the judges.
The "Quarriva Caso" wrapped in banana leaves was presented to the judges.

Tan Zhifeng, who was already feeling a bit hot, felt inexplicably calmed down by the refreshing aroma of Xia Ming's cooking.

He raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the perfectly arranged local dishes.

"It doesn't look particularly special, but the taste... it seems like it contains more than just 'kava'..."
