"Stone pot?"
Hearing Qian? Hearing Xia Ya's voice, the other four judges also looked toward Mu Fan. When they saw the stone pot that Mu Fan had placed on the stove to heat, they all revealed shocked expressions.
At this moment, the head chef from the American Cuisine Academy, Olan James, who was sitting at the judging table, even took off his sunglasses. He stared at Mu Fan with eyes full of admiration. "I've heard that there's a Chinese cuisine in the far east that uses a stone pot to cook on the stove. The advantage of a stone pot is that it naturally contains organic ores that are beneficial to the human body and is carved from them before being cooked. "It will produce calcium, zinc, and other minerals that are beneficial to the human body. This way, using this pot to cook dishes can allow the soup to absorb the ingredients inside. It can be said that this is both a delicious dish and a health-preserving dish at the same time."
Hearing this, Don Jima Gin, Shimiya Kojiro, and the others also revealed covetous expressions. After all, they had tasted it before. Delicacies could even be compared to those with the Tongue of God? It could be compared to the delicacies that Lina had tasted since she was young.
As a result, they basically only tasted many delicacies and did not have much interest in them. However, the only thing that could arouse their interest now was a dish that was both delicious and health-preserving.
Meanwhile, Mu Fan's work had just begun. In their eyes, Mu Fan took out a few pieces of beef bones from the bag and placed them in the water. Then, he slowly simmered them over a slow fire.
"Using beef bones to make soup stock?"
The few of them were even more shocked. In this case, the main ingredient in this stone pot would become this bowl of soup stock.
The two head chefs from the American Cuisine Academy narrowed their eyes slightly. Then, they frowned, and a trace of seriousness flashed across their eyes.
It could be said that the culinary skills that Mu Fan displayed in the competition had far exceeded their expectations. They originally thought that Geno's opponents were only the Ten Talents of Yuanyue, but now, it seemed that Mu Fan was also the chef who was going to stop Geno from getting first place.
As for Qian? Xia Ya looked at Mu Fan with eyes full of admiration. As the queen of the Japanese curry industry, her goal was naturally not just to develop curry. If she could pull this talented young man into her restaurant, she might be able to use this point to enter other areas of the curry industry in the future.
As for Don Shima Yin and Shimiya Kojiro, they had already graduated from Yuetsuki, but they came to this food festival with another plan, which was to invite the chef they liked to join their restaurant.
If Mu Fan could successfully enter the top ten this time, he would have met the criteria for their invitation.
Just as they were all lost in their own thoughts, Mu Fan took advantage of the time when the soup was boiling. His sharp blade flashed, killing the fish and taking out the internal organs. Then, he carefully cut them. Long and thick slices of fish appeared on the table.
He washed the grass carp and put it on the table. Speaking of which, it was his first time cooking fish. However, with the help of the Level 5 Cooking skill, his understanding of knife skills was natural. Soon, he understood the way to deal with the grass carp.
This cutting method was extremely testing of knife skills. A master with good knife skills could cut fish slices that were long and thick, with a lot of portions. A master with bad knife skills could cut fish slices that were very scattered, or even unable to form a fish slice at all.
"30 points!"
"4 points!"
"23 points!"
Because it took a certain amount of time to cook the Stone Pot Fish, an hour later, the figures of the chefs who had finished cooking appeared one after another on the stage.
However, the results of these people were not optimistic. Listening to the cold evaluation on the judging platform, the chefs who were ranked at the bottom could only leave resentfully.
"Oh my god, the current highest score is only 45 points, not even 50 points. How strict is the evaluation this time?"
Looking at the scores on the big screen in the venue, Qishima Rei, who was holding the microphone, could not help but exclaim in surprise.
Listening to her voice, even if everyone in the audience seemed to put themselves in her shoes, when they heard the evaluation of a favorite contestant, they could not help but feel nervous.
After all, the five judges this time were really too strict.
Especially Qishima Rei. Xia Ya even gave a person zero points.
It was simply ridiculous!
Because there was nothing to do with cooking the stock, Mu Fan could only count the time and secretly sympathize with Qishima Rei. Xia Ya was too lazy to even give a score, so she only got 4 points.
From this, it could be seen how difficult it was to get a score in the second round.
And while Mu Fan was looking at the stage, Ashina Tsukuyomi had already carried the salmon onto the stage.
"Good luck, Ashina. This time, all I can do is to drug you and give you my silent blessings."
Mu Fan prayed in his heart. This was the first time he felt so emotional from the bottom of his heart.
From the perspective of a friend, he naturally did not wish for the hardworking, kind, and gentle Ashina to be eliminated in the second round of the competition.
Moreover, his feelings for Ashina were no longer limited to friends.
"Teachers, please taste my dish, the pan-fried salmon."
Ashina Tsukuyomi came to the stage and placed five plates of salmon in front of each judge, saying nervously.
To be honest, as the eldest daughter of the Tsukuyomi family, she should not be nervous. After all, she had been facing all kinds of things, her family, and the CEOs of various companies since she was young.
However, at this moment, she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest because she loved to cook too much. She did not want her hard work to be defeated at this moment and stop on her path to the top ten of the Gourmet Festival.
How could she not be nervous in such a situation?
Shimiya Kojiro was the first to raise his head. When he saw Ashina's face, he could not help but be stunned.
He ran a famous restaurant in France and saw countless noble women every day. Even so, he could not help but feel a little stunned when he saw Ashina for the first time.
Of course, he just felt that Ashina's appearance was very pleasing to the eye. He did not have any selfish motives, he just felt that Ashina's appearance was very pleasing to the eye.
If one had to say, the chef's own appearance also greatly affects the restaurant's business. After all, when the customers see a person who is not dressed formally, slovenly, or even lazy, the restaurant's customers will not have the appetite to eat.
Just like in the Gourmet Restaurant, if it was not for the outstanding appearance of Ashina, Mu Fan would not have been able to attract a large number of students from Toyozaki Academy in such a short time.
Now standing on the stage, Ashina, wearing a spotless white dress, couldn't help but form an elegant and generous temperament.
Not to mention the taste of the dishes, just seeing such a beautiful woman, the mood of eating the dishes has changed.
At least for the first impression of Ashina, the five judges present were very satisfied.
Because this time the dishes need time to taste, Ashina simply stood on the side and turned her head. Coincidentally, when the spectators saw Ashina's stunning appearance, they also let out a sigh.
"Heavens, who is that girl, in terms of appearance and figure, she can actually compare? She can be compared to Erina Lina. "
"Compared to her, are you insulting her? Both of them are obviously peerless beauties of the same level, only their styles are different. If Miss Erina is cold and elegant, then this one is the representative of gentleness. "
"Hey, isn't this the big miss of the RECT company, Yuuki Asuna, who released 'Match Feather'?"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd let out a cry of surprise, and everyone suddenly remembered.
"It's actually her, quickly take out your phone and record this scene, Ashina Tsukuyomi is really not the talented girl that the news said. Sure enough, seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times, I didn't expect that not only is she a singer, she can even cook, the attributes of a wife are bursting! "
Not long after, there was a burst of noise from the audience, Mu Fan turned his head and was shocked to find that there was a flag with Ashina's portrait on it.
"Miss Tsukuyomi, do your best, get first place in this food festival, we are all your fans, we will always support you! Please open a restaurant in the future, let us taste your dishes. "
Seeing this, Ashina suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
