The Guide of How to Be an Interstellar Tycoon

23-24

The official recording of the Gourmet Contest was still in the Gourmet Building. However, the venue was bigger and more formal than before, and it was enough to accommodate 100 contestants at the same time.

Gu Bai entered the Second World early in the morning. Although he didn’t know what the test would be, he was confident in himself.

“Xiaobai,” Fang Weixuan ran over with a smile as soon as he saw Gu Bai. He spoke all the time and didn’t stop until the contest started.

“Xiaobai, will you offer your new dish in your store if you make a new one later in the competition?” Fang Weixuan asked.

For the past two days, he still visited Blue Star every day, but he wasn’t lucky enough to win the dish. It was such a torture to see others eat it.

In addition, the new dishes Xiaobai made every time were always delicious and promising, leaving people with a lingering taste. Xiaobai was already a treasure chef in Fang Weixuan’s heart.

“That can do,” Gu Bai said with a smile, understanding what it felt like for a foodie.

Fang Weixuan said, “That’s great. I can’t wait to end the competition to taste your dish.”

After all the 100 contestants were assembled, the examiners rearranged their numbers, which would also be their numbers in the following tests until the Garment Contest was over.

Gu Bai was 048, the same he got in the first round, and Fang Weixuan was 066.

“66, that’s a good number. I’m really blessed.” Fang Weixuan showed the number to Gu Bai with pride.

“All contestants, please stand in your corresponding positions. The live stream will begin immediately,” The sponsor invited a famous host to the contest this time.

Everything was settled, so the live stream began. Many contestants nervously observed around to see where the cameras were, but they were hidden perfectly in the Second World in case the contestants might feel stressed.

“Welcome to watch the Gourmet Contest. As everyone knows, food is the top issue for people in the world, and delicacies are a long-passed culture in the Cerngon Empire. Unfortunately, cultural isolation appeared during the process of migration. In order to encourage the public to actively participate in the Gourmet cultural revival, we hold this Gourmet Contest…” The host said to the audience behind the camera.

“So, here comes the first session. The first topic is spring. In the basket in front of you guys, there are the ingredients provided by the sponsor. Please feel free to use either all or part of them, but other ingredients are prohibited. You have an hour to finish your work. Now the test begins.”

As soon as his voice fell, the contestants hurried to choose the ingredients they needed.

To ensure fairness, the sponsor prepared the same kinds and quantities of materials for each contestant. The materials were rich, probably because they wanted the first round to be smooth and wonderful since they were broadcasting live this time.

Gu Bai checked all the ingredients prepared first. There were vegetables, meat, and even the main food inside. The seasonings were fully prepared as well. Soon, Gu Bai figured out what to do this time.

He scooped up a bowl of wheat, directly turned it into flour with a whipper, and then shifted it into a paste. Next, he added a bit of salt and cold water, mixing them into a flocculent paste, and then kneaded it into a smooth one in the end. Finally, he put it aside for later use.

Afterward, he selected carrots, lettuces, cabbage, vegetables, and a piece of pork from the ingredients.

Shredding the pork, he then added soy sauce, salt, zanthoxylum, pepper, and other seasonings into the pork to pickle it. Also, he sliced the carrots, lettuces, cabbage, and vegetables.
