Chapter 155 - Eight Treasures Duck (1/2)

“How dare a child dream of winning against the Master Chef? Dream on!”

“This episode is just a joke, right? Who are the guests?”

“Oh my god, there’s actually someone who doesn’t know Xu Le? He has almost seven million fans!”

“In any case, can he be as good as the Master Chef?”

The people in the comments section started arguing. Of course, the audience who had been following the live broadcast of the competition would naturally think that the Master Chef was going to win by an overwhelming margin.

Just like every competition in the past, he would definitely win!

Lu Yuxi was watching the live broadcast when an incoming call interrupted the broadcast. She looked at the unknown number and frowned for a moment before answering.

“Hello?”

“I’m Li Yue.”

“Professor Li?”

Lu Yuxi was so surprised that she lost her voice. Why would a university professor whom she had not contacted for a long time suddenly call her? “What’s the matter?”

The scene changed and the live broadcast continued.

The first dish was “Eight Treasures Duck.”

The Eight Treasures Duck had already been widely circulated during the Qianlong era. The duck skin was crispy and fragrant, and the meat was soft and tender. The stuffing inside was filled with oil and fragrance, and the texture was excellent.

Before the competition began, Chen Yeqi had privately told the two of them that they could bring their assistants with them.

At this moment, Li Qing’s mouth was like a loudspeaker.

“This dish isn’t that difficult? Even I know how to cook it.”

“If the two of you make the same taste later, how are they going to differentiate it? By luck?”

“The audience below doesn’t look like culinary judges either. Isn’t it unfair to judge according to their preferences?”

“Master Xu, do you know this dish?”

Xu Le wanted to pick up the carrot on the table and stuff it into Li Qing’s mouth. In the end, he smiled and said, “I definitely will.”

The two-hour clock on the screen was already counting down. It could be considered a rush to finish this dish in two hours. He could not afford to waste any time.

Xu Le skillfully split open the duck’s neck. The duck skin was tender. After opening it, he took out all the soft bones and tendons inside and cut them with scissors…

The host said, “The hardest part of making the duck is that the entire skin can’t be broken. The two contestants are very skilled. Of course, the one on the left is still better.”

Xu Le was in the kitchen on the right. When he heard this, he ignored the host and continued to remove the bones.

Shen Hui looked up. In the next moment, Li Qing immediately said in surprise, “Damn, this doesn’t f*cking look like something a human can do.”

Xu Le calmly looked at the screen. He saw that ‘Master Chef’ had cut a small hole in the duck skin with the tip of a knife. Only then did he cut the bones bit by bit. By doing that, he could guarantee that the duck skin would be more perfect.

“… Is the chef really not a surgeon before? His technique is a little exaggerated.”

Li Qing complained, but he had to admit that the bone removal technique was indeed impressive.

Xu Le broke the duck neck bones in turn and took out the shoulder blades, wing bones, and leg bones. At the same time, he carefully flipped the flesh down.

He continued until the duck meat was completely separated from the bones, while ensuring that the duck skin was still intact except for the initial cut.

His technique was equally precise, winning cheers from the crowd.
