Chocolate and Rose
She moved to the front of a cake, this piece of cake looked a little black, it see at the texture and the s could tell that it wasn't She first used a knife to cut the cake open andcut a piece as she would normally
When the sweet fragrance and some waxy texture bloomed in her mouth, she was totally stunned
Really never thought that carrot could actually be used to make cake, and such delicious cake too!
Lin Ke Song wrote in the tablet: carrot,soda, cinnaer, clove, pepper, nut
As she wrote, she was shocked, didn't think that an ordinary cake would use so redients!
No ering fragrance, that did not match the product ah!
But toblend together, there still needs to be a little so……
What is it?
When Lin Ke Song frowned to think, the tablet displayed that her naain
This was really a race ah!
Stay cal!
She took a deep breath, and told herself not to bother about as happening around her, including her placing, the discussion noise of the audience, and the host's intentionally agitating words to keep the ath
It’s salt!
How could she have forgotten salt?
in ht process, cakes should be sweet, so they won't think that there will actually be salt included!
After she wrote down ”salt”, she suddenly had a thought before submission about the i a cake
What oil was used here? butter? Olive oil?
Heavens ah! this isn't easily tasted!
Lin Ke Song could only consider according to the density of the cake and texture and fragrance
This wasn't the fragrance of butter, neither was it the fragrance of the olive oil…… what other oils can be used to bake cakes?
Definitely not peanut oil or soybean oil, and definitely not sesame oil……
It's sunflower seed oil!
Even though Lin Ke Song had some hesitation, she still submitted her answers
The system displayed that her ansas correct, and in an instant, she rose from the sixth place to the fourth She knew, that there was definitely one of the participants as rank above her before who had given a wrong anshich made their rank drop
Lin Ke Song released a breath of air and continued tasting the other foods They included Mexican sauces, a beef pastry that was stuffed with s, French-styled pan-fried las, and plain noodles, etc
Her ranking suddenly dropped to third last because she lish ar, then she consecutively tasted the ratatouille, lasagne, and stuffing filled roasted bell pepper and rose back to the fourth place
She had seen al book that Jiang Qian Fan had given her
But every single thing wasn't in accordance with the book or to bethat was out of the ordinary
But this kind or extraordinariness wasn't unconventional, but instead, allow the layers of flavours reach new heights
If it were not for this co doubted that she would embrace it with open arms, as more attractive than the uncountable delicacies in front of her?
When Annalise lifted her wrist to ring her fork against the wineglass, it was to signify that there was only a minute left
Aallowed her to taste at least another 2 dishes
So speeds, and were beco more cautious
This period of tireatest jumps and falls A moment of carelessness, can make you fall from heaven to hell
Lin Ke Song knew, the difference between everyone was only but a gap
Lin Ke Song decided to take a gamble
She successfully tasted the spring pasta and nice scones, reached the third rank
There were 20 seconds left
Should she just be satisfied with the third place…… or grab hold of this last chance?
Lin Ke Song's gaze floated over the dishes that had yet to be tasted and was focused on a plate of jelly
It's glow, it's translucency re Qian Fan made
Her tongue still remembered it's taste, that unique sinal flavours of the ingredients
Lin Ke Song decided to pick up the jelly, cut a piece from the middle, and place it in her mouth
The redient of the jelly was the rich soup that was broiled fro's skin But this dish's main lead wasn't the shrihtly fried that rance There was also shredded ba whites, salt, pepper and carda but not spicy And the cold jelly had a sea flavour that rapping the scallops, revealing a thick seaside style on the tongue
There was definitely soredient comes from the oceans
What was it? Kelp? Seaweed?
Lin Ke Song kept thinking about it in her head, the ti
When a particular ingredient flashed through her mind, she wrote it doithout hesitation: Sea cucumber
At the moment she pressed subh her chest
When she saw her rank rise from the third to second, her whole person was like a fire arrow al up
Even her uncle in the audience stood up to applaud, the red banner was even
Annalise clapped her hands, to signal everyone to quieten, and introduced the participants starting from the tenth place as shown on the scoreboard behind her
The introductions of the third place were for Goto Nozomi froer than Lin Ke Song by 2 years, and had a stern face, that made people respect and keep a distance
”Goto Nozomi has always surprised , without many fluctuations, and in the last 5 minutes rose frouys, I would keep an eye out for this cool and calm competitor”
Lin Ke Song looked at the back of Goto Nozoht and looked like he had quite the manner
”The second place, is Lin Ke Song fro in the last 20 seconds, is bravery and courage worthy of ad in this 20 seconds, her ranking could have plummeted Sochose to give up continuously tasting Even though I'e, as a host of this coot my eye on you oh!”
Lin Ke Song smiled sheepishly
Then as the 1st place?
Lin Ke Song really wanted to know, just as it who had such a sensitive sense of taste?
”Lastly, I introduce to you the champion of the first round of competitions, who also received 10 full points, contestant Timothy Viktor!”
When the screen showed a young and innocent face, passionate applause sounded
”Viktor, tell everyone your age!”
”16 years old”
The Viktor on the screen revealed an innocent sht brown hair, a tall nose and some shy dimples, made people feel full of love in an instant
”16 years? You're 16 years old only!” Annalise looked at the audience, ””Has anyone counted the number of foods there are in front of every competitor?”
Many necks in the audience were lengthened, fingers reaching out to count
”There're a total of 100 kinds, no es out to Viktor being able to discern all the ingredients in a dish in 20 seconds Don't underesti, they all have a hidden secret weapon” Annalise hugged her arms, and looked at Viktor with a weird expression, ”I'es choose you to be the top 10 in the rotten tomatoes?”
Viktor embarrassedly rubbed his nose, that kind of adorableness attracted all the attention of the audience
”On the audition day, I was dragged along by a friend for coreatly better than mine, I just didn't think that I would be chosen because of how terrible the food tasted This teaches us, that you don't have to do well, and that so terrible can be a kind of opportunity”
The audience started laughing
”Viktor, you haven't explained the reason for your Godspeed improvement!”
”Haha! It's becauseah!” Viktor fluttered his eyes
”Great, then we'll wait for you to reveal your mystery mentor when you enter the top 3!”
Lin Ke Song looked at Viktor, this young man looked very confident, his expression didn't look like he was coer
Even though they hadn't even exchanged words, Lin Ke Song could faintly feel several levels of a genius aura from him
Annalise announced the end of the first round of competitions for ”Master's show”
Even though Viktor had extraordinary results, Lin Ke Song's results shouldn't be underestiht the eye of many a competitor
”The next round of competitions will be a day later Which is this Wednesday, it will be held at the same time as today, participants, be careful to not oversleep! Today's co, and can't even be considered difficult This Wednesday, the judges, and audience will see your true prowess No matter if you are satisfied with your results today, the next round of competitions will probably reshuffle the ranks Good luck to each and every one of you!”
When Lin Ke Song left the corounds, Uncle and his friends excitedly lifted her up
She let out a stunned breath and every tihest point in the air, she searched the leaving crowd for a certain figure
But she was disappointed every time
Jiang Qian Fan will not come to this kind of place
He has s to do His new restaurant was already in operation, he will be very busy
And the other competitor's mentors weren't on set either
Just as the group of friends and fa because her round
So's head knocked into the other party's arently
”What are you thinking about?”
