Universe Infinite Canteen

The chef Fan Yixin scored the lowest in the third round. She made a coconut beef tart.

Fan Yixin had obviously reached her limit. Her hands were shaking when she was cutting vegetables. She also added black pepper twice because she forgot to add it halfway, which caused the taste of black pepper to cover the coconut on the top of the finished product.

In the end, she only got 3 points.

After learning that she was eliminated, Fan Yixin was disappointed and breathed a sigh of relief. She felt relieved.

The audience also gave her warm applause.

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

After the fourth round of the competition began, Luo Junkang did not cook the dishes first, but turned on the faucet and washed his face.

He tried to cool down his overloaded brain in this way, and then quickly calculated what dish to make next.

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

But there was no other way. Since he had not been eliminated, he had to bite the bullet and continue to cook. Luo Junkang estimated that he would get coconut ptsd after the game.

Although he thought so, his hands were 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 creation with a fixed time. He had taken a lot of detours in the previous rounds.

Now there were only 33 minutes left, which was not much better than Malu, and he was not like Sun Mei and Malu who were preparing for the future from the beginning.

He had a hunch that if he didn't die in the last round, he would be sent away in this round.

But out of respect for the competition system, Luo Junkang still planned to struggle again.

But it was obviously too late to cook a dish according to the normal process at this time.

Luo Junkang had to take a different approach, and his eyes moved to the pile of waste before.

But before he could do anything, he saw Malu on the opposite side had already taken a picture of 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 he had already finished the dish. Is he still a human?

Sun Mei followed closely and took a photo of the timer after only six minutes.

10 minutes later, Luo Junkang also finished cooking. The last one was Kawano Zhengming, who took a total of 19 minutes, only 1 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 it was useless to be fast, and they had to ensure that they did not fall behind.

Malu rarely took the first place. The staff brought his dish to the judges' seat, and this time he even covered the plate with a plate cover.

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 promised?

Ever since Yoneda Hajime saw that Malu was going 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 would take.

Is it to show off his knife skills and carve a Chinese dragon out of coconut? Or to turn the painting previously drawn on the plate into a 3D real scene and present it? Or some other ingenious shape.

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

In the end, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After the answer was revealed and it was found to be just an ordinary egg, everyone felt like they were being scammed by telecommunications.

…………

No one spoke for a full half minute.

Half a minute later, Rocky Chen coughed twice.

"Well... objectively speaking, the time is indeed a bit too tight. It is unrealistic to expect Chef Malu to put too much effort into the appearance. Let's taste it first."

Olette Huppert also smoothed things over, saying, "The idea of ​​dual themes was originally proposed by Chef Yoneda Hajime. Chef Malu has never admitted it, and we shouldn't put too much pressure on him."

That being said, it is inevitable to feel disappointed when expectations are dashed.

Just as Rocky Chen was about to reach out for 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, because the plate is brought up by the staff, and I deliberately left a little extra time.

"Just wait 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 seconds, okay, please enjoy it. "

As Malu's last word fell, the ordinary white egg on everyone's plate actually changed and cracked.

The crack became larger and larger, and finally split into two.

The contents of the egg were revealed.

The contents of each egg were actually different.

Indian chef Gaggan Anand's egg "born" a six-armed, sturdy ape roaring to the sky.

Olette Huppert's plate was a large konjac with many faces.

Rocky Chen's was a mini ginseng.

Yoneda Hajime's was an apple tree that looked like a lead block.

The four of them were stunned, because the things on the plate were too lifelike, and for a moment they almost thought they were hatched from eggs.

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

"Ice cream?"

Gaggan Anand put his face up and felt the coolness coming from the six-armed monkey.

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

"No, this dish is called "Universe"," Ma Lu said.

"Ah, by the way, I remember that the name of your restaurant seems to be Cosmic Infinite Canteen." Olet Huppert interjected.

"It seems that Chef Malu is an astronomy enthusiast, but I don't understand the relationship between this dish and the universe."

Hajime Yoneda was concerned about another thing.

"How did the eggshell crack on its own?"

When Ma Lu heard this, he answered him with something irrelevant, "We are in Sanya now."

"This is obvious, wait," Hajime Yoneda pondered for a while, "Do you want to say the temperature?"

"Yes, the eggshell itself is cracked, otherwise I wouldn't be able to put the dishes in. Then I mixed some sauce with the same color as the eggshell, applied it on the cracks, and used freezing to seal the cracks. It’s so you can’t tell the egg has been opened unless you look closely.”

Malu shrugged, "As for why the eggshell cracked on its own, it's because we are in Sanya. The temperature in Sanya is already high, and the eggshell is directly exposed to the outside.

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