Chapter 180 - Food shortage (1/2)

After the host emphasized, he tried to smooth things over, “With so many viewers still watching online, although there are few people on your side, it’s not to the extent that there are none at all. If you withdraw from the finals, it’s equivalent to giving up.”

Xu Le frowned slightly. He knew that he could not fight against the person who set the rules. He only said, “Alright, I’ll make you admit defeat.”

His words caused a thousand ripples in the comments section.

“What an arrogant tone. Children like him just don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!”

“Maybe he really will win?”

“Could it be that Xu Le is too lucky in the finals and doesn’t dare to continue?”

“He definitely won’t dare. He’s just lucky!”

“It’s clearly a draw. Why do the fans of the Little Master Chef make it seem like he won?”

“I support the add-on round. I still want to see it!”

“Do the contestants really still have the energy? Even an adult won’t be able to withstand this match for more than ten hours, right?”

“Why don’t we continue the competition tomorrow?”

“Xu Le, you can do it!”

“Anyway, the Master Chef will definitely win! There won’t be a mistake!”

Even if Xu Le was unhappy, he could wait until the last step. There was no point in pestering with them. In the end, he nodded and agreed.

Lu Yuxi was indignant. She gritted her teeth and did not continue to retort. In the end, she said, “They just don’t dare to have a fair competition because they’re afraid that you’ll continue to win. Otherwise, why didn’t they exchange the ingredients from both sides if they were going to have an add-on round? Wouldn’t it be obvious that he cheated if he had so much seafood left?”

Just now, the Yanyun flat food had already used up a lot lean meat. Xu Le made a rough calculations and what was left most was the eel. There was about the same amount of fatty meat and lean meat, bamboo pith, celery, a small amount of shrimp, and so on…

“There’s not much ingredients left. The time limit doesn’t allow for troublesome and cumbersome dishes. How about this? Go make a big pot of rice. Later, we will make a braised saddle bridge, a stir-fried meat, and a bamboo pith meat roll. Finally, this… watermelon, let’s make a traditional sweet drink.”

“Why don’t you just squeeze it to make watermelon juice?”

“It’s not enough to make juice. Traditional sweet drinks tend to have a strong taste and are better at winning over people’s taste preferences.”

Braised saddle bridge was a famous Huaiyang dish. The fresh eel was cut into sections and sliced on the surface twice, without cutting through.

Lu Yuxi leaned over and asked, “Why is it called Saddle Bridge? Why not braised eel? That’s more intuitive and easier to tell what dish it is.”

Xu Le picked up a section of the eel that had been cut. The eel that had not been completely cut was bending one section after another. He gestured the arc with his fingers and said, “Doesn’t this look like a saddle?”

“… a little.”

“When it’s fried later, the arc will be even more curved, like the shape of a bridge. That’s why it’s called that.”
