Era: You're asked to cook a home-style dish, but you cook Wellington.

Seeing how enthusiastically Gu Jingzhou was eating, the other two also joined in the tasting.

The three of them held their bowls, focused only on eating noodles, and couldn't utter a single word.

The only sound at the scene was the slurping of noodles, like a strong man who hadn't eaten for a week eating a soft white steamed bun for the first time.

The audience all looked up at the platform, their eyes filled with shock.

"It can't be real, it must be fake. How could the judges just keep eating without saying a word?"

"Is it good or not? Give me a straight answer! I bet ten thousand yuan on Shata."

"Oh no, oh no, at this rate, Shata will definitely win. I should have voted for them too."

One voice after another rang out, and the audience was extremely anxious.

With the help of the Green Dragon Gang, the third brother who had previously followed Long Tianxiang also came to the scene.

He looked at Gao Yang, who was doing his own thing, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Although the judges didn't comment, judging from this reaction, it certainly won't be bad.

These three people hold high positions and have tasted countless delicacies, yet they are now sitting at the table, eating with rude manners and showing no regard for their image.

The third brother knew some inside information and understood the implications of this match. It was a small matter if Gao Yang lost this match; the real loss would be not getting the resources that followed.

"You can do it, you can do it."

The third brother dared not look any longer, put his hands together, and prayed to heaven.

On the stage.

The three judges finally finished eating.

They put down their large bowls and drank even the hot liquid at the bottom.

"Delicious, so delicious!"

"If I'm not mistaken, your soup base is made with chicken and pork as a base, with ham and clams added in the middle for flavor, and then it's repeatedly simmered over boiling water at the end, right?"

Gu Jingzhou's eyes lit up as he looked at the sand tower.

Shata answered mechanically, as if he were a robot: "Yes."

Gu Jingzhou continued, "Your jadeite face, the jadeite you're referring to, is it the lobster?"

"When the lobster is raw, it is translucent and called 'jade'. When you stir it with chopsticks and it comes into contact with the soup base, it will turn white as it cooks, and at that point it is called 'jade', right?"

Shata simply uttered a single, indifferent "Yes."

The audience then realized what was going on.

It turns out that the bowl of ramen they saw was just an ordinary bowl of ramen because the camera couldn't capture the shape of the lobster clearly and could only show the broth.

Xu Qinyun continued, "These noodles aren't ordinary noodles either. They're chewy and springy, and after you stretched them to the right thickness, they hold the broth perfectly, which is why we feel so satisfied when we eat them."

"In addition, you added some vegetables to the soup base to absorb the fishy smell and bring a sweet taste to it, so you won't feel greasy even after drinking such a big bowl."

As soon as the two finished speaking, the audience erupted in uproar.

"What! Such high praise!"

"My God, that's an amazing assessment. Shata is indeed powerful. He looks ordinary, but he actually doesn't care about making a move. With this move, he's sure to get the highest score in the game."

"Yeah, she's way better than that Gao Yang guy. Luckily, I bet on Shata to win before the match started."

The audience was abuzz with discussion.

Liu Jianye was overjoyed.

Judging from the looks of it, this match is definitely going to be a Shata match. As long as Gao Yang doesn't win, with some maneuvering later on, it's not impossible for Zou Li to take the championship.

Thinking of this, his smile widened even more.

"Gao Yang, you'd never guess, would you? I still have a way to kill you."

He was extremely pleased with himself.

The gambling king sat in the audience, legs crossed, fingers lightly tapping on the armrest, watching this scene, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

He made a fortune from this match, raking in fame and money. After this big win, he could easily buy himself another villa.

There was no way around it; whether it was the judges or the public opinion, the news of Shata's victory was almost unanimously coming in. Under these circumstances, tell me, what did Gao Yang have to win with?

Nangong Lian watched the match with a tense expression.

"I never expected that the woman next to the gambling king to be so formidable. Even when I encountered her, I wasn't guaranteed to win."

Nangong Hong nodded, her eyes filled with seriousness.

"Me too. Shata's food quality is just too terrifying. My condition is almost unaffected. How can I fight her in this state?"

Steven remained seated, neither speaking nor making any movement.

His expression remained calm and composed; he neither praised nor criticized, his gaze remaining fixed on Gao Yang, who was still cooking.

Gao Yang's hands moved faster and faster; now all that was left was to finish processing the piece of foie gras in his hand.

He understands that the core of his dishes lies in three points: the cooking time of the crispy noodles, the texture of the foie gras, and the overall balance of flavors.

If the two are out of balance, the flavor of the whole dish will be completely ruined, and the dish will become greasy and difficult to swallow.

He took a small pot, heated it over the fire, and put in a small piece of butter.

The butter melted in the pot, carrying a hint of milky sweetness.

He then put the foie gras into the pot.

Foie gras contains a lot of high-quality ingredients, which slowly melt inside the iron pot at the temperature, turning it into a semi-fluid state.

Butter was poured over the foie gras again and again, sizzling and bubbling.

Gao Yang understood that butter has an extremely low smoke point, and if the temperature is too high, it will burn and ruin the entire dish.

Therefore, he controlled the temperature very well, simply letting the butter slowly turn into a dark brown color.

The aroma gradually wafted out, and while the entire audience was still cheering for the sand tower, a very small number of people smelled it.

"Hey bro, what's that smell?"

"I smell it! It's the smell of oil, it's butter!"

They looked at Gao Yang, at the foie gras he was frying in the pot, and then shook their heads regretfully.

"To be fair, Gao Yang's cooking skills are indeed quite good. I've eaten his dishes before, but they still fall short compared to Shata."

"Yeah, if Gao Yang hadn't faced off against Shata, he probably could have lived another round."

On stage, Liu Jianye could no longer suppress his smile and stood up, clapping his hands.

"Shata, your Jade White Noodles are exquisitely prepared. I think you've already won the match."

Xu Qinyun's expression froze.

What is this guy saying? No matter how delicious Shata's food is, it can't be judged a winner unless Gao Yang's dishes are evaluated.

This guy is a complete novice!

"Boss Liu, this isn't appropriate. We haven't even tasted Gao Yang's dishes yet, and it's really not right to declare Shata the winner."

Gu Jingzhou gave Xu Qinyun an appreciative look.

To everyone's surprise, Liu Jianye didn't care at all and turned around to ask, "We've already tasted all the ramen made by Shata. Do you really think there's any dish better than this?"

"If you ask me, the sooner we announce that Shata has won, the sooner we'll finish, the sooner the audience will be free, and Gao Yang won't have to produce anything anymore. Everyone's happy."

He was extremely pleased with himself.

At this moment, the sand tower suddenly returned to normal.

Her eyes were clear, yet she looked at everything with a sense of confusion and helplessness.

The memory lingered in his mind as he looked at the gambling king in the audience, his eyes filled with pain.

"Alright, I hereby announce."

Liu Jianye's voice rang out, and the entire room fell silent.

"I hereby declare..."

Xu Qinyun's expression changed drastically, and she was about to stop him.

Just then, Gao Yang carried three plates and slowly walked up to the platform.

"Wait a minute, judges, please taste my dishes before making your decisions!"
