Chapter 65 - Simple Sliced Sashimi (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After rinsing the wound with water, disinfecting it with alcohol, and applying a waterproof band-aid, Xu Le continued to focus on the competition.

There were many fish bones. He first dealt with the bones on the spine before picking out the fish bones that were as thick as a needle tip. The process was complicated and tedious, and it tested his patience.

The close-up shot landed beside his hand. The bright and tender pale pink fish meat was sliced into thin slices and placed into a glass basin filled with ice cubes to keep it fresh.

The comment section was filled with discussions.

“What does he want to do? Sliced sashimi?”

“Could the little Master Chef have gone off topic?”

“Look at the ones beside, he’s steaming the fish in red sauce. Just looking at it makes me hungry!”

“And there’s even Spicy Boiled Fish!”

“Why did he remove the fish meat. Is it to make fish tofu?”

“This dish is best tasted when steamed to maintain its original taste. They are simply wasting the fish.”

During their free choice of cooking this dish, the chefs beside Xu Le were all busy starting the steaming pot, boiling oil, and seasoning sauce. Meanwhile, Xu Le kept his head lowered as he sliced the fish. His face was expressionless, and his concentration was evident.

On the comments screen, crazy fans started praising him again.

“God, if only my son could be as focused as him.”

“Compared to the little Master Chef, my child is practically like a hyperactive kid.”

“Is this the difference between human babies?”

“So cute, so cute, so cute!!!”

“Xu Le, Mommy loves you!”

Xu Le, who was cooking with his head lowered, did not know that he had suddenly gained so many “mothers” out of nowhere. He also did not know that because he was too popular, many people were already criticizing him for being too good at media publicity.

When the 90-minute countdown reached the last 10 minutes, Xu Le put down his knife. He finished slicing two whole fish and started to lay the plates.

The sashimi was so thin that it looked like it could be crushed with a chopstick. It was faintly translucent and was placed on the plate one by one with mint leaves and rosemary as decorations.

Then, he squeezed wasabi on the edge of the plate, put a small portion of special soy sauce on it, and cracked an egg in the middle.

There were no shortcuts to cutting skills. Xu Le had also practiced it thousands of times in the system space before he had reached his current standard.

When the judges saw his cutting skills, many of them were flabbergasted. They exclaimed in admiration, “He’s so young and has such good cutting skills. Could he have started learning from his mother’s womb?”

“Xu Le is a talented contestant. Others might not be able to catch up to him even if they learn for a few decades.”

“Is there anything this child doesn’t know?”

Even Song Deyue couldn’t help but nod his head. “His cutting skills are indeed amazing. The fish slices he cut out are completely identical to each other and are even more accurate than machines.”
