Chapter 1600 - The Instant Noodles at the Competition (2/2)

Xiao Ai also saw the instant noodles, and she was surprised. Instant noodles were a blessing to people who could not cook. She did not expect to see it in a world competition such as this. “This truly is a world competition. The organizers are really well prepared!”

However, she did not think Bu Fang would take the instant noodles out to cook. If he really did that, it would be faster for him to just withdraw from the competition.

Suddenly, Xiao Ai’s eyes widened as she saw Bu Fang take the instant noodles out of the cabinet. He also took out an egg. “You… Are you really going to cook instant noodles?” She looked at him as if he were a fool. ‘He truly is an apprentice chef. How could he choose to cook instant noodles in a major competition? He’s going to lose for sure!’

Bu Fang gave her a sideways glance and said nothing. As for Yu Ge, he was quiet because his heart had been captured by Bu Fang.

With a ripping sound, Bu Fang tore open the packet and took out the instant noodles. Many people heard the sound, and they turned to look at him.

“Where did that idiot come from? He’s cooking instant noodles at the World God of Cookery Tournament?”

Many judges were speechless. They could not believe that someone was cooking instant noodles in an international event such as this. Even the host had taken notice of Bu Fang. After all, it was hard for Bu Fang not to attract attention when he took out a packet of instant noodles among so many famous chefs.

“Ugh… Haha! What a surprise! Someone in the competition is really quite naughty… He’s really going to cook instant noodles! How delicious can his instant noodles be? Let’s wait and see!”

The host was being polite, but many judges were already scoffing. They had decided that when the instant noodles were served before them, they would not try it, and if they did, they would start a live stream of them eating shit!

The five main judges simply ignored Bu Fang. As people of high status, they would never eat instant noodles!

Xiao Ai stared at Bu Fang with wide eyes. She wanted to find out if there was anything special about him. Since he dared to cook instant noodles, he must be very confident in himself. Could he have some secret weapon? But she was soon disappointed.

‘Is cooking instant noodles in the water a secret weapon?’ Xiao Ai twitched the corner of her mouth.

Yu Ge’s confidence in Bu Fang began to waver now. ‘Could it be that the egg-fried rice I tasted is just a very simple dish? And I found it tasty because I’ve been fasting for too long? If not, why is he cooking the instant noodles in the most traditional method?!’

One after another, squares of instant noodles were added to boiling water. Soon, they softened and spread out. Bu Fang added the seasonings before scooping them out. His swift and skillful movements made him look like a veteran in cooking instant noodles!

The other chefs were doing their best to show off their cooking skills. Their noodles were distinctive in their own way. There were sliced noodles, saucy noodles, noodles with bean paste, ramen from Hua, and also spaghetti and handmade noodles from the West.

Plumes of hot steam rose from pots of boiling broth, while the air in the entire twentieth floor was filled with an intoxicating fragrance.

With steady movements, Bu Fang ladled the instant noodles out of the pot and placed them into small bowls. In total, he prepared about a dozen bowls of noodles. As for fried eggs, he only made five.

At this moment, the other chefs had finished cooking, and they brought their noodles over to the judges.

These noodles were the results of their teams’ effort. Even though it was only a bowl of noodles, many things needed to be considered when cooking it. After all, they had many competitors. So, before cooking the noodles, they needed to consider the competitors’ strength, as well as how they were going to present their trump cards…

One by one, bowls of noodles were brought up to the stage. The host was explaining with his glib tongue, while the five main judges and the panel of three hundred judges began to taste the food.

…

“Bu Fang’s secret instant noodles are ready to serve.” After placing the last fried egg in a blue-and-white porcelain bowl, Bu Fang finished his cooking and breathed a sigh of relief.

“I can’t believe it took you so long to cook instant noodles. You’d better don’t bring these instant noodles up there… You’ll just make others laugh at you… Really, this is my advice for you as someone who had a similar experience,” Xiao Ai said, looking at Bu Fang.

Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth. “I need you and Yu Ge to help me bring the noodles there,” he said.

Xiao Ai was speechless. ‘You can just make yourself a laughingstock… Why do you have to involve me? Can’t you see that handsome blond boy is watching me? If I go on stage, my reputation will go down in a drain!’ However, she had no other choice, so she just carried the bowls of noodles and, together with Yu Ge, followed after Bu Fang.

The noodles were covered by fried eggs, so no one could see them. Bu Fang brought his instant noodles and walked toward the judges. As he stepped up the stage, the main judges and the panel of three hundred judges all laughed.

“Oh, I’m dying of laughter… I can’t believe someone really brings us instant noodles!”

“I admire the courage of this participant!”

“Instant noodles… If this thing can make him go to the next round, I’ll eat plain rice with garlic for a whole month!”

The panel of three hundred judges roared with laughter, but Bu Fang’s expression remained unchanged. Xiao Ai, on the other hand, bowed her head so low that her chin was almost touching her breasts…

The five main judges looked coldly at Bu Fang—they would not be courteous to a participant who dared to serve them instant noodles. Without even tasting his noodles, they had decided to disqualify him! If they ate even just a spoonful of the instant noodles, they would not consider themselves food judges for the rest of their lives!
