Meg and Harris each carried their cut potatoes to the judges' table.
Everyone looked at Meg's lifelike golden potato dragon, and then looked at the small potato pieces that Harris placed messily on his plate. They already had an idea of who was better. There seemed to be no suspense in this first round.
"Why does this golden dragon look so familiar?" Yabemiya mumbled softly.
"It was carved according to you," Elizabeth, who was standing beside her, said softly.
"Huh??" Yabemiya was stunned for a moment before a blush appeared on her face.
Harris stood in front of the judges' table, and spread his hands in a gentlemanly manner, saying, "My young friend, after you."
Meg glanced at the potato pieces that were placed messily on his plate. Every piece was different in size and shape, as if they were chopped by a child. He couldn't help but raise his brow. Is he going to give me a one-versus-two chance?
This was a duel with his honor and his master on the line. No matter what the other party did, he didn't have any intention of underestimating them. He carefully placed the plate in the middle of the judges' table, and then took a step back.
Harris went forward, and also placed an open plate of paper next to Meg's plate.
"Mr. Mak's golden dragon carving is very lifelike. To be able to carve such an intricate golden dragon out of a potato in such a short period of time, I can see how amazing his knife skills are," Michael, who was sitting in the middle, praised as he looked at Meg's golden dragon carving.
Robert went forward to take a closer look, and couldn't help but praise, "The details of the dragon's scales and whiskers are very clear, and the proportions are also very exquisite. Mr. Mak's potato carving skills are probably even better than some carvers."
Geoffrey stared at the golden dragon for a while, and then looked at Meg with surprise. He had seen many geniuses in his life, and they could often do things that ordinary people couldn't do in a certain field.
However, there was a limit to a person's energy and talent. No one could do many things well at the same time, and most people couldn't even juggle their life and work.
However, Meg's extraordinary talent in cooking, sculpting, fashion design, and some other areas that he didn't understand really surprised him.
"Is there anything he can't do?" The Hill looked at Meg with great interest.
As a woman who had been shrouded in the halo of a genius since she was young and grew up in praise, she gradually became interested in Meg after seeing him.
Novan looked at Meg's golden dragon before his gaze landed on Harris' potato platter. He seemed to be deep in thought, and smiled without saying anything.
There was a faint smile on Mag's lips. He didn't need to say anything. His knife skills had already been displayed on this giant dragon. Those who could understand would naturally understand, and those who couldn't, wouldn't understand even if he said it.
"Harris, what kind of trick are you playing now?" Michael wasn't in a hurry to make a judgment, and turned to ask Harris.
Everyone present also looked at Harris curiously. With his reputation and abilities, he shouldn't be surrendering just like that, right?
"Young friend, you're done with your demonstration?" Harris asked Meg with a smile.
"Yes." Meg nodded. He was sculpting this golden dragon, and had nothing else to show. However, judging from Harris' words, what else did he have to show apart from these potato pieces? This piqued Meg's curiosity.
"Alright, then it's my turn to perform." Harris smilingly pointed at the potatoes on the plate, and said, "Look, they are just a pile of potatoes now."
Then, he waved his hand at the potato platter, and the potato pieces that were originally scattered on the large plate suddenly moved. They piled up together like building blocks, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a golden dragon.
Harris smilingly said, "Look, it has become a giant dragon now."
"Wow …"
There was an uproar instantly. Everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at the giant dragon that was almost the same as Meg's golden dragon. They looked at this scene in disbelief.
"Building blocks?" Meg also looked surprised. It wasn't just because Harris was a spatial magic caster, but also because he could use the scattered potato pieces to form a golden dragon.
Although there was a big gap between the details of the carvings and that of his dragon, his understanding of the structure and the potato pieces that he had cut were beyond everyone's imagination.
He could be sure that these potatoes didn't change their shape at all during the reconstruction process. They were just stacked together in the simplest way. It was a very amazing way.
"Of course, it can also be a pig." Harris tapped the head of the giant dragon gently, and the giant dragon collapsed. Then, it quickly piled up again, and became a fat and round sow.
"Wow! So impressive!!! "
There was a wave of exclamations and applause instantly.
"Is … Is this magic? How did he turn the giant dragon into a pig? "Yabemiya blinked in disbelief.
"It's spatial magic. However, he only used magic to stack the potato pieces that he had cut together. He has an amazing understanding of these potato pieces that he had cut. Moreover, he must have calculated the thickness and size of each potato piece. That's why he could use them to form anything." Elizabeth was also amazed.
"Barbara, aren't you a spatial magic caster? Can you? "Jane asked softly as she looked at Barbara.
"I … Of course I can …" Barbara coughed softly with an unnatural expression.
Then, Harris changed the potato pieces into three to four different forms. With a wave of his hand, countless potato pieces scattered on the plate again. It was still that plate of potato pieces that looked messy and disorderly.
However, this plate of potato pieces had become different in everyone's eyes now. It represented endless changes and also endless possibilities.
"Thank you, thank you." Harris cupped his fists with a smile. Then, he looked at the judges, and said, "The performance has ended. Now, please make your choice."
Meg also looked at the judges. Even he was amazed by Harris' move. It was unknown what the result would be.
"Harris, your block cutting is getting more and more varied. It seems like your cutting skills have improved a lot over the years. I have to vote for you this time," Novan said with a smile.
Harris chuckled, and said, "In the past five years, I have increased the number of pieces from 180 to 360 pieces. Basically, I can change them into any form. Of course, it's different."
"Grandpa once said that Master Harris' block gourmet food has endless variations, and it's very interesting to eat. It's hard to find another person like him in this world. Now that I've seen him today, he really lives up to his reputation. I'll vote for you this time, too." The Hill also praised.
"Just because of what you said, I really have to go and see that old man Ian tonight," Harris said with a smile.
Michael pointed at Meg with a smile, and said, "Harris' blocks are still so interesting. However, I feel that the giant dragon carved by Mr. Mak is more exquisite. His cutting skills must be very good to be able to do such a delicate operation with a wide cleaver. I'll vote for Mr. Mak."
"Master Harris' control and understanding of ingredients is something that very few chefs in the world can surpass. However, if we're talking about cutting skills today, the superb skills and precision that Mr. Mak displayed have moved me. Hence, I'll vote for Mr. Mak." Robert also raised his hand to signal to Meg.
"2: 2 — Tie!"
Everyone's gaze landed on Geoffrey. His choice would determine the outcome of the first round.
