Chapter 996 - Eight Clawed Flaming Mountain (1/2)

Naturally, the judges were unaware of what Chef Li and Yuan Zhou had in their minds. They were busy deciding on what to eat next.

In life, eating occupied a top priority, especially when it concerned delicious food.

“I think we should try Head Chef Yuan’s squid first,” Bai Xiaoxiao said.

“That is a constructive suggestion,” Zhang Yan nodded, though it was unknown how was something like that constructive.

“But I think we should eat the crab dumplings first,” Wang Xiang had a different opinion.

“Squids can’t be allowed to get cold. Otherwise, it will go bad,” Bai Xiaoxiao said.

“Crabs can’t be allowed to get cold as well,” said Wang Xiang. He would be happy to eat some delicious crabs as a replacement for the lobster he missed.

After all, both were seafood with comparatively larger shells.

While everyone was voicing their opinions, Zhou Shijie spoke.

“We still have six dishes,” Zhou Shijie said.

It was obvious what he was trying to say. There were six dishes left, and everyone would be able to eat all six. There was no point fighting over the order of eating.

“Since there are six more, let’s start with the squid. After all, that’s Boss Bai’s favorite food,” suggested Wang Xiang humbly.

“But the crab dumplings are your favorite, Head Chef Wang. Let’s start with your favorite,” said Bai Xiaoxiao, embarrassed.

“No, it is fine. We will start with your favorite,” said Wang Xiang.

“No, no, no, you first, Head Chef Wang,” Bai Xiaoxiao said.

After wasting a few minutes, Zhang Yan finally spoke, “Let’s start from this side, the salad snail.”

“Ok,” the assistants nodded and started serving the food.

Both Bai Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiang were slightly stunned. That was absolutely not one of the dishes they were fighting over earlier. Chairman Zhang was being too random here.

“Holy shit,” thought both of them. Of course, they did not let any of their thoughts show on their faces.

From this, it was obvious that a person in a position of power might not necessarily be a capable person, but his face would definitely be thick.

It was obvious from its name that the salad snail was an appetizer. Thus, the portion was rather small. Everyone only got to eat enough to try the taste and it was already finished.

After finishing it, everyone stared at Yuan Zhou’s other dishes. Alas, Zhou Shijie told the assistants to serve them the seafood alliance’s dish instead.

The four quickly finished the seafood alliance’s dish before finally, they got to eat Yuan Zhou’s third dish, Roasted Octopus.

But how did the seafood alliance’s Salad Sea Snail tasted like? It was clear from the frowns the judges had.

Evidently, Chef Li did not notice that. He was in complete confidence, as if victory was already in his grasp. He stood there, filled with satisfaction.

“Serve that dish,” said Zhou Shijie as he pointed at Yuan Zhou’s Eight Clawed Flaming Mountain.

“Ok, please wait a moment,” replied the assistant gently.

This time, the dish wasn’t separated before being served to the judges. Rather, it was carried over together with Yuan Zhou’s plate.

As this happened, the host who was nearly nonexistent spoke.

“Now, the judges are at the third dish. As usual, they are starting with Head Chef Yuan’s dish,” said the host while gesturing at the Eight Clawed Flaming Mountain.
