Lin Chen made a dish called "Crystal Monkey Brain."
Monkey brain is not actual monkey brain but is made out of tofu. Lin Chen had seen this dish in a movie before and thought it was cool, never expecting that such a dish truly existed.
"Crystal Monkey Brain? Could it be that Lin Chen is making this dish? It's simply ridiculous, this dish was purely fictional in the movies, and no one has ever made it."
Eating monkey brain raw is a very delicious dish, but because it is too cruel, many people cannot accept it, so many chefs have thought about substituting tofu for the ingredients.
Long Tianci had experinted with it himself, but the taste was far too different from real monkey brain, and he had not succeeded.
Although the protagonist in the movie won the championship with "Crystal Monkey Brain," no one in reality had ever made this dish.
Seeing Lin Chen challenge this impossibility, Long Tianci also secretly worried for Lin Chen.
Lin Chen placed the selected ingredients on the cutting board and began to prepare.
A potato was tossed into the air by Lin Chen and was peeled in a few swift movents.
The soft tofu in Lin Chen's hand, like a toy, was quickly carved into the shape of a monkey brain.
Lin Chen's movents were incredibly fast, with his knife flashing, nurous ingredients were prepared in less than five minutes.
"My God, that guy is incredible with a knife!"
"Is this cooking? It's practically juggling."
Lin Chen's dreamlike movents almost attracted the attention of the whole venue.
Zhou Tian was also showing off his knife skills, but compared to Lin Chen, he was far too inferior.
After glancing at Lin Chen, Zhou Tian's eyes held a hint of malice, "Boy, just enjoy showing off for now. Hmph, the higher you climb, the harder you'll fall later."
The reason why Lin Chen was showing off his knife skills in such a high-profile manner was very simple: to increase his popularity.
The surge in popularity during the preliminaries had already given him a taste of success, and the cooler his knife skills, the more popularity he would gain.
As ti passed by, the dishes of most participants were nearing completion.
"Kimura is making the Island Nation's supre dish 'Emperor Shark Fin'!" Long Tianci's gaze showed a trace of solemnity.
"Emperor Shark Fin," known as the king of shark fins, is the masterpiece of Island Nation culinary master Nakata Honshi.
With this dish, Nakata Honshi had won the World Culinary Competition, even Long Tianci had co in second then.
After Nakata Honshi's death, Long Tianci had always thought the dish was lost, but unexpectedly, Kimura brought it to the competition today.
"Long sir, who do you think will win among them?" Sun Lina asked sowhat anxiously.
"Anna and Zhou Tian's dishes, although top-notch in color, scent, and taste, are nevertheless commonplace, as others can make them too. Unless they can truly outshine each other, it will be difficult to contend with Kimura's 'Emperor Shark Fin.'"
"What about Lin Chen's 'Crystal Monkey Brain'?" Sun Lina asked as she glanced at the busy Lin Chen.
"If Lin Chen can successfully make this dish, he will be the first person to ever make 'Crystal Monkey Brain.' Since Nakata once made 'Emperor Shark Fin,' Kimura has already lost a step to Lin Chen in this respect."
Just then, a rich fragrance wafted from Lin Chen's pot. Long Tianci lifted his nose to sll it and his face showed a surprised expression. How could this be? It really slled like monkey brain, how did he do it, he really succeeded."
The judges on the panel all showed shocked expressions upon slling this fragrance.
The ingredients Lin Chen chose were all very ordinary, yet he really managed to recreate the taste of monkey brain.
Long Tianci breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Chen was sure to win, the championship was undoubtedly his.
Kimura also slled the aroma from a distance, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. Though his "Sea Emperor Shark's Fin" was also a delicacy, Lin Chen's "Golden Crystal Monkey Brain" was an original creation, and the fact he made monkey brain taste using tofu was in itself a remarkable feat.
"Damn, am I really going to lose?" Kimura's face shifted slightly.
At this mont, Zhou Tian's face revealed a cold smile as he looked in Lin Chen's direction, his lips curling into a sinister grin.
Lin Chen was using his Inner Strength to stoke the flas and heat the soup, when suddenly his gaze sharpened.
With the aid of his x-ray vision, he noticed a red dot flashing sneakily at the bottom of the soup pot.
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6..." Damn it, Lin Chen's heart sank, and with a flick of his wrist, he used his Inner Strength to hurl the soup into the air.
"Bang!" Accompanied by a dull sound, the soup pot exploded in mid-air.
This scene was so sudden that no one expected such a thing to happen.
"It's over, it's a failure, how could Lin Chen make such a mistake!" Long Tianci saw the exploding soup pot and, thinking that Lin Chen had lost control of his Inner Strength, shook his head in dismay.
The sudden incident shocked everyone in the audience.
"What just happened, the soup pot exploded!"
"It must be this guy's poor control of the heat that caused the explosion."
"Unfortunately, it's all ruined now, we can only rely on Anna and Zhou Tian now."
Lin Chen, looking at the soup and tofu scattered all over the floor, had an extrely ugly expression on his face.
Suddenly, he raised his eyes and saw Zhou Tian not far away, sneering at him.
"So it was this guy who sabotaged ." Lin Chen seethed inside.
"I can't believe I failed. It seems like even the heavens are on my side!" Kimura, who had just been a bit depressed, now revealed a sinister smile. Without Lin Chen as his rival, his "Sea Emperor Shark's Fin" would have no competitors.
By now, Zhou Tian had already finished making his "Golden Jade Full Hall" and ca up to Lin Chen with a sneer on his face.
"What a pity, such a tasty pot of monkey brain all blown away, how could you be so careless!"
"You're despicable!" Lin Chen glared coldly at Zhou Tian.
"Kid, fighting
is courting death. Just wait to kneel and call
grandpa; by the way, I've already contacted the reporters. This mont will be broadcast live on national television," Zhou Tian laughed arrogantly.
By this ti, Anna had also completed making her "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."
"Lin Chen, you were too careless," Anna said, shaking her head helplessly.
"Is this really how I lose?" Lin Chen suppressed the anger in his heart, thinking of a counter-strategy.
To kneel before Zhou Tian and call him grandpa would be unthinkable, even if it killed him.
There were still ten minutes left, there had to be a way. Lin Chen steadied his mind and searched the system for a recipe that could turn defeat into victory.
Suddenly his eyes lit up, this was it!
"Now is too soon to decide the winner," Lin Chen snorted coldly as he looked at the triumphant Zhou Tian.
"Ha ha! With only ten minutes left, even if you had great skills, you couldn't possibly make anything delicious," Zhou Tian laughed wildly.
"Delicious food doesn't have to be complicated, true masters co from the common folk, and real gourt food also cos from there. Today, I'll teach you what real gourt food is," Lin Chen said as he returned to the stove, quickly selecting various ingredients. With ten minutes left, he was determined to create a supre delicacy from the ordinary.
