Chapter 103 – 103: Big Pot Dish

Half an hour flew by, and Chen Yu’s side was already emitting an intensely rich aroma.

But the other contestants were lagging behind, with some not even having their ingredients ready.

The slightly better ones had managed to cook the six dishes with a perfunctory main course put together.

As the competition time came to an end, Chen Yu had already set aside disposable bowls and chopsticks that he had prepared earlier.

“Everyone, come over here to eat!”

At this shout, the audience, who had already been drooling, rushed over en masse.

As early as the twentieth minute, Chen Yu’s side had been wafting out such a tempting aroma that the audience couldn’t resist.

Now, they could finally taste it.

Tong Ya was also among the crowd, taking a disposable bowl and helping herself to some rice and dishes.

Compared to the bustling scene at Chen Yu’s station, the other chefs had a noticeably quieter presence.

Some even tossed their spoons to the ground and sat there sighing heavily.

Half an hour to cook six big pot dishes and a main course seemed impossible to them.

But Chen Yu not only completed the task but also cooked an extra soup.

In fact, the outcome of the competition was already clear at this point.

The on-site judges also joined the queue with the audience to get their meal from Chen Yu.

“These six dishes might look like home cooking, but each one is an authentic Sichuan dish. This chef must have studied Sichuan cuisine for at least ten years.”

“The Mapo tofu melts in your mouth with a spicy and numbing deliciousness, truly exceptional.”

“The taste of the potato stewed chicken is just right, delicious!”

“This rice is actually mixed grain rice! My god, in such a short time, he actually made mixed grain rice.”

…

The exclamations on-site rose and fell in waves, and everyone began to regard Chen Yu as a culinary god.

Even the chefs who had come to compete resigned themselves and queued up at Chen Yu’s station, wanting to taste the dishes he had made.

One senior chef, after taking a bite of the mixed grain rice, looked at Chen Yu with a horrified gaze.

“Young man, what method did you use? It’s impossible to cook mixed grain rice in less than two hours.”

Chen Yu smiled: “Actually, this traditional stove is part of our ancestral culture, each opening has its purpose! Like this last one, a large amount of high heat converges here, making it the best spot for cooking rice.”

The chef slapped his own head: “How could I have forgotten that! I used a traditional stove when I was younger too.”

The competition ended incredibly quickly. By noon, Su Rui had already announced the results.

Truth be told, everybody knew there was no point in continuing the competition. With Chen Yu there, like a culinary deity, they could only hope for runner-up positions.

“Ladies and gentlemen, that’s it for today’s competition, let’s meet here again early tomorrow! Moreover, we will have some international celebrity chefs joining us tomorrow!”

After the competition ended, Chen Yu took Tong Ya back to the hotel.

To be honest, today’s competition was indeed intense. Although Chen Yu completed it with ease, for the others, it was nothing short of hell mode.

After all, his physical condition had reached the human limit; even extreme sports would be a breeze for him.

Participating in such a competition was like bringing a dimension reduction assault for him.

Chen Yu stretched lazily, just as he lay down on the bed, Tong Ya came over and grabbed his waist.

“Husband, I saw you moving a lot just now, does your back hurt?”
