Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Lei Ke’s Terrible Strength

Translator: 549690339

On the players’ spectator seats, Tang Xie looked at Qin Lang, who had not come to the spectator seats but was casually chatting with the trio. An intense desire to compete surged in his eyes.

This was the third time.

He had already lost to Qin Lang three times in their duels.

This proved that he was still insufficient and needed to work harder.

Next time, he definitely would not lose again!

“Ding—- ”

With the sound of the bell, the last closed kitchen door finally opened.

A young man, about 20 years old, with a head full of unruly hair tied up by a bandana, pushed out a kitchen cabinet car calmly with his deep brown eyes. “Contestant Lei Ke has finished his cooking!”

“He is the only contestant from outside the local area in this competition. Let’s see what kind of dish he has brought from Danju City!”

With all eyes from the venue on him, Lei Ke remained calm.

Everything was under his control.

Even being the last to appear was all part of his plan.

He was confident to shine under the spotlight and secure the first place in the first round of scoring!

After pushing the kitchen cabinet car in front of the judges’ seats, Lei Ke gave a slight bow to the thirty judges in the venue, took the microphone handed over by the host, and slowly said, “Thirty judges, please taste my dish…”

“Whoosh!”

With a light noise, the door of the kitchen cabinet car next to Lei Ke quickly opened.

A Food Spirit hovering beside Lei Ke emitted a milky white halo.

The halo spread out like water ripples, causing the thirty dishes in the kitchen cabinet car to fly out all at once and landed steadily in front of the thirty judges in the field.

“Su Shang Ping Lake.” Lei Ke didn’t utter the name of his dish until it was all presented.

“Gulp gulp!”

Dan Bao’s eyes in the spectator seats suddenly lit up.

That was the wave of thought, the combat skill!

The very combat skill it wished to awaken!

“Dear, you will have the wave of thought,” Qin Lang comforted the envious-looking Dan Bao.

Zhao Chen, who was sitting next to him, heard the conversation between the owner and the spirit, and his eyes flickered slightly.

As expected of his rival, he already had plans for the second combat skill. Indeed, the Food Fight was nothing but his farce!

After comforting Dan Bao, Qin Lang turned his eyes to the big screen and carefully examined Lei Ke’s dish.

Su Shang Ping Lake was a soup dish.

Its presentation carried an atmosphere.

In the midst of the rising mist, the light aqua soup shimmered with bright water light.

At the bottom of the clear soup, a ball of golden color reflected like noontime sun in the lake.

And through the close-up shots on the high-definition giant electronic screen, the clearly visible details of that ball of golden color allowed Qin Lang to quickly recognize what ingredient it was.

Golden Ear.

It was a type of fungi that was not as common as the silver ear but was highly nutritious. Its golden-like color and brain-like shape made it very distinctive. Soaking a ball of Golden Ear in clear soup?

Qin Lang nodded slightly.

This dish indeed showed some similarities with Boiled Cabbage with Water.

The texture of the Golden Ear itself was superb, the rich gelatinous texture made it particularly crispy and smooth. As it was chewed, the flavor of the Golden Ear would surge from the inside, making it more flavorful with each bite.

Of course, what was more important was the secret within the clear soup.

Qin Lang’s expression became more serious.

In the field, after serving the dish, Lei Ke slowly started speaking as the judges began to taste it.

“This Su Shang Ping Lake is an original creation of mine.”

“To cook it, you need nine different kinds of fungi, nine different kinds of bamboo shoots, nine different kinds of wild vegetables, and a top-quality Golden Ear.”

“One of the nine fungi is extremely rare, I searched all over Tianhua State without success, and only found a few in Beihu State to the north of Tianhua State. Three of the nine types of bamboo shoots also required a lot of effort to find.”

“These nine wild vegetables belong to the nine cities within Tianhua State, which also includes the Lanxia Vegetable of Dongxia City.”

“Combining their freshness into soup, adorned with the supremely palatable Golden Ear.”

“This, is my understanding of vegetables.”

The words of Lei Ke weren’t many, but in just a few sentences he painted a picture of a Spirit Chef who passionately scours the mountains and plains in search of ingredients.

His words caused a whirlwind of discussion among the numerous audience members in the stands.

Qin Lang felt the pressure surge within him.

Nine types of mushrooms, nine types of bamboo shoots, nine types of wild vegetables and a Golden Ear.

When it came to ingredients, Lei Ke’s dish completely outclassed his vegetarian braised pork.

He sighed slightly, already prepared mentally.

A moment later, Lei Ke’s scoring segment came to an end.

“Let’s congratulate contestant Lei Ke, his score is…”

The host glanced at the electronic screen in his hand, his face couldn’t help but show signs of surprise.

“94.1 points!”

“As expected.” Hearing this score, Qin Lang shook his head reluctantly, “I’ve lost.”

“Gulu…”

Dan Bao, who had just been ecstatic, now couldn’t help but show a dejected expression.

“No matter, victory and defeat are common place in war.” Qin Lang rubbed Dan Bao’s head, soothing him with a smile.

The novelty of his vegetarian braised pork had won the judges over with its distinct appeal.

But sometimes just this is not enough.

Ingredients are not the be-all and end-all of a dish, but it can’t be denied, they have a significant effect on the final presentation of the dish.

“Gududu!”

Dan Bao rubbed against Qin Lang’s cheek, looking at Lei Ke in the center of the field, a stubborn expression filled his little face.

Next time we will prepare more thoroughly, we must win!

“Yes.”

Qin Lang nodded heavily, a battling spirit ignited in his eyes.

Faced with such a formidable competitor, he also needed to showcase his true potential.

Meanwhile, Tang Xie on the players’ spectator seats, had long since discarded his previous disinterest in Lei Ke.

He frowned and stared at the gradually unfamiliar figure in the field.

This is a strong opponent!

Aside from Qin Lang, the city-level cooking competition has produced a second powerful adversary he had to consider.

On the other side, Zhu Ming was slightly pursing her lips, her tightly clenched hands were faintly white.

As the rising star of the Zhu family, she came with a determination to win only to be surpassed one after the other.

This was a big blow to her.

“Hu!”

Zhu Ming exhaled a weary breath, gradually adjusting her state of mind.

In that case, let me have a proper fight with you three!

With the end of Lei Ke’s scoring segment, the twenty-six competitive standard kitchens quickly descended, revealing the vast field.

The host took a deep breath and announced loudly.

“I declare, the first round of the Dongxia City Cooking Competition has ended.

Now to announce the final scoring rankings!”

“Let us welcome the twenty-six contestants onto the stage, with a round of applause!”

With the host’s announcement, the audience erupts with thunderous cheers and applause.

“Qin Lang, hurry up, hurry up!”

Qi Xiaoyu urged hastily, with Zhao Chen and Du Weiwei both looking towards Qin Lang.

Even though they hadn’t secured first place in the scoring segment and felt a bit regretful, they viewed this result as an incredible achievement.

“Okay.” Qin Lang nodded, bringing Dan Bao quickly back into the field.

Soon, the twenty-six contestants lined up in a row..
