It was already afternoon in a blink of an eye, and the Palace Square, which had become quiet at the beginning of the game, became lively again!

At this time, a large number of temporary stoves had been built in the square. As the onlookers were whispering, contestants kept walking towards the vacant stove. When they saw the contestants they supported entered the venue, they would cheer each other. With such cheers one after another, the entire square became bustling and very lively!

The review station, the old city lord and Vanessa had been waiting for a long time, and the three old men were talking about interesting things during the rest period, and Vanessa and Mana were also talking about common topics between artists with great interest. Not far from the review station, a huge hourglass was constantly sliding down fine sand. Looking at it, the time marked by the hourglass was not much!

At this time, Vanessa suddenly paused and looked at the audience in a sympathetic manner. She immediately saw Lin Zheng's smiling face. Seeing Lin Zheng waved to her, Vanessa smiled out loud. Seeing this, Mana beside her immediately smiled, "Did you see your Yiping brother again?"

Vanessa smiled and waved to Lin Zheng, saying, "Yes! It seems that the contestants they support have successfully collected ingredients!"

As soon as the participants finished speaking, Qinglan and Qingxue appeared in the entry passage. Looking at the two people entering the game, Mana pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm afraid they can't see the key to this game!"

"Brother Yiping, it's probably a bit difficult!" Vanessa said with a funny look, "But Fite is also in the team!"

"You have a really high opinion of that girl named Fite!" The old city lord said with great interest.

"Of course!" Vanessa said confidently, "No matter what, Fit is also the third in command of the Western Hell. To put it bluntly, Fit's ability is much stronger than you!"

"The third in command of hell!" The old city lord grinned, "That's true, it's really amazing, but I'm still very confident in me! When it comes to cooking skills, I'm definitely not inferior to anyone!!"

After hearing this, Vanessa Mana immediately felt funny. Indeed, this old Tao is one of the most fanatical people in the study of food in the past dynasties. The accumulation of predecessors and his own research, his cooking skills have already reached the pinnacle. It is definitely not a bragging thing to say! But no matter how you say it, you are a city lord! You can say so righteously without doing your job. You are really an old naughty boy who is disrespectful to the old!

While the few people were talking, the sand of the hourglass had reached the last moment. The timer officer stared at the hourglass seriously until the last piece of sand fell. The official immediately waved his hand, and saw the gong hand gesture, and the sledgehammer of his hand was swinging and knocking on the gong!

"Bang--!!"

With the blessing of amplification magic, the loud sound of the gong echoed throughout the square. As the deafening sound echoed, the crowd, which was still noisy and boiling for a moment, immediately became quiet! Before the sound of the gong disappeared, the host of the competition shouted on the hosting station: "The hunting time is over, and the contestants who have not arrived will automatically lose the qualification to advance!"

At this moment, several players who had just rushed outside the entrance channel suddenly turned gray, one step late, and it was really one step late! Even if they just stepped into the entrance channel, they would enter the venue in time! Unfortunately, there were not so many ifs in reality, except for their supporters, no one would pay attention to them now!

After asking the old city lord, the host turned around and a high voice sounded again: "Start now, we will enter the cooking stage of the second round of the competition. In this stage, the contestants will have an hour to consider the food they want to cook. After the competition officially begins, all contestants are not allowed to exchange any items, nor are they allowed to seek support from the outside of the venue! If non-limited ingredients are required for cooking, you can apply to the host. Please remember all contestants! If there are any questions about the rules of the competition, you can raise them now!"

After saying this, the host watched around and saw that all the contestants expressed their questions without any doubts, he shouted: "Since all contestants have no doubts, then I announce that the cooking competition is just the beginning!!"

"Bang--!!"

The loud gong sounded again. At this moment, the contestants who closed their eyes and rested suddenly opened their eyes! With a wave of their hand, all the collected ingredients appeared on the chopping board.

Qinglan also took out all the ingredients he collected, black bear liver, the land-binding vine, the flame-carved eggs found in the Tianhuo Basin, and the mortal bone bison captured in the land of the Bone. After obtaining the land-binding vine, Qinglan had already decided on the food he wanted to cook, so in the two areas behind, Qinglan purposefully looked for the areas where the ingredients might appear!

The eggs and the mortal bone bison are both five-quarters of ingredients. The area where the ingredients are distributed is not too difficult for him and Qingxue. However, the prey itself is really hidden. It took a lot of time to find these two ingredients. Fortunately, they finally found them and rushed back to the square in time.

The two suddenly looked at each other in a sympathetic way. After seeing each other's sight, they showed a faint smile on their faces. Then, Qingxue clenched her fists in front of her chest. Come on! After understanding Qingxue's meaning, Qinglan nodded with a smile, and clenched her fists in front of her chest. Come on!

"These two little guys are a bit interesting!" An old man who was judged looked at Qinglan and the other two with interest, "The two of them have the same ingredients, and it seems that they should be in the same action!"

"The ingredients of 10 points, the land-binding vine, the remaining three ingredients are all 5 points..." The old city lord nodded with satisfaction, "No, at least they avoided the last trap. In terms of cooking skills, these two little guys are very outstanding, there is no problem with the promotion. I don't know how much help that kid Yiping has helped here!"

"Don't worry, old man!" Vanessa said with a smile, "Brother Yiping is not the one who can help you. Since he boasted that he wanted to choose a qualified city lord for you, then he would not be able to intervene in the test of the city lord's ability! Moreover, yesterday I heard them say that Qinglan and the others still don't know that they are secretly helping! Qinglan is not ordinary cautious!"

Upon hearing this, the old city lord laughed happily: "Of course, no matter what, that little guy Qinglan is, but the most outstanding children of my fifth young generation, it is not so easy for Yiping to fool him!"

While the old city lord was content with his complacent, many contestants had already started to cook dishes! Although the competition time reached one hour, if it was in an ordinary cooking competition, one hour of cooking time was not enough to make a pot of soup, but for the contestants who could come here, one hour was really unnecessary!

Less than a minute after the host's voice fell, the contestants raised their hands. When the contestants walked towards the jury table with their own food, Qinglan suddenly felt a strong hostility! She looked up subconsciously and said, the fierce eyes of the contestants, this guy was the fifth longboat!

When Qinglan frowned, the fifth Changge snorted coldly and walked towards the judges. Then, the dishes cooked by the fifth Changge were presented to the judges.

Vanessa looked at the dishes on the plate. It was a square piece of pastry that looked quite exquisite. The golden pastry was decorated with a small red fruit, which made people feel very eager to enjoy the food!

Under the serene gaze of the fifth long boat, Vanessa and others started to use their knives and forks. As they cut the pastry on the plate, a fragrant heat immediately gushed out from the inside of the pastry. Just when the smell of the fragrance, Vanessa's face showed an intoxication. Sure enough, the children of the fifth family are all excellent chefs! No matter what ingredients they used, at least there is nothing to say about this taste!

Put the pastry covered with sauce and put it in your mouth, chew it, and your faces were full of enjoyment. "This plump and delicious taste is the red-scale salmon unique to the land of mortal bones!"

"That's right!" said the fifth longbo, "In all competition areas, red-scaled salmon are rare top-grade ingredients. It took me a lot of effort to catch this thing! Originally, as a top-grade fish ingredient, making fish ginger was the best cooking choice! However, I got salad manda fruit in Tianhuo Bain. As a top-grade auxiliary ingredient, salad manda fruit can absorb and preserve the delicious flavor of the ingredients in the cooking process of cooked food, so that the red-scaled salmon in this dish presents a double flavor, and exerts the delicious taste of the red-scaled salmon beyond the reach of the delicious taste!"

"It's not only that!" The old city lord looked at the pastry on the fork. "Although the combination of red-scaled salmon and salad manda fruit is very good, after the combination of the two, because the flavor is too strong, it will form a sense of flavor barrier between raw and cooked food. In order to solve this barrier that destroys overall coordination, you have also added the third ingredient to it!"

"It's worthy of being an old man!" The fifth Changge grinned. How clever his old man's mouth was. How could he be a son? "The third ingredient is the pyrophosphine mushroom found in the Elemental Forest. Although it is not the top ingredient, its half-baked ingredient characteristics are the best ingredient to coordinate the flavor of the dish! Finally, it is a wet swamp wheat used to make a pastry..." Speaking of this, the fifth Changge grinded his teeth. If it weren't for Qinglan's kid, he could get a product like the land-binding vine! Although the pastry made by the wet swamp wheat is not bad, there is still a big gap from the perfect dish in the fifth Changge's heart!

The small pastry was quickly finished. When the judges saw the judges put down their hands and forks and came to their senses, the fifth longbo raised his chest. Although the dishes were not perfect, he was still very confident about his craftsmanship!

"Now! Please give the judges a score!"

As the host finished speaking, the first score was Mana, 4 points! As soon as he saw this score, the angry anger in the fifth longge's eyes immediately emerged, and then Vanessa's score was also out, still 4 points! The old city lord was even more harsh and only gave 2 points! When the remaining two old men scored 4 points, the fifth longge immediately shouted: "Why?! How could the dishes I have carefully prepared can only have this kind of score!?"

Not only the fifth longge was dissatisfied, but his supporters were also full of anger. Although several people were so satisfied with eating just now, they still praised them all, but in the end they actually gave such scores that were not even enough to pass the score, which was so incredible!

The old city lord calmly asked his boy to yell. After putting down the napkin that was wiping his mouth, he stared at the fifth longboat and said: "First of all, as a finished dish, your salmon cake is indeed quite outstanding. If you only score based on the taste, I can give you an 8 mark!"

"Then why?!"

Looking at the indignant fifth longboat, the old city lord sighed helplessly, "This is the longboat, there are rules for the competition. Think about it carefully, what are the rules for this competition?"

Upon hearing this, the fifth Changge's angry expression was stunned. He calmed down for a moment. He touched his chin and recalled the rules of the game. Others also began to whisper at this moment. After a moment, the fifth Changge's face turned dark. Seeing his sudden change of expression, the old city lord knew that this kid already understood what the problem was, but what should be said still should be said. After all, the audience did not know, so as not to be said by the audience that these judges were unfair!

"This competition requires contestants to hunt and gather ingredients by themselves and use the obtained ingredients to cook delicious food! However, in the evaluation of dishes, the competition has long stipulated that the flavor of one of the ingredients can only be highlighted!" As he said, the old city lord looked at the fifth longboat, "You have made the biggest mistake in this competition when choosing ingredients in the dishes, using all high-scoring ingredients, which makes the flavors of your dishes and various ingredients very obvious. From this point of view, your works have deviated from the test questions of this competition!"

The fifth Changge gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and he felt very regretful. The old man actually set up such a trap in the chef's competition, which was so sinister! He was just trying to make good food to satisfy the old man's appetite, so how could he notice such a thing!

At this time, Vanessa continued, "But, you are still lucky this time!"

When the fifth longboat raised his head in confusion, Vanessa said: "Although they are all high-score ingredients, the flavor of red-scaled salmon is indeed more than that. After you use salad manda fruit, the flavor has been significantly improved, thus suppressing part of the flavor of pyrophosphine mushrooms and wet wheat, so you can get the current score from us!"

As soon as Vanessa finished speaking, the host began to score points, "Red scale salmon 10 points, salad manda fruit 10 points, 9 points of pyrophosphorus mushrooms, 7 points of wet wheat, 36 points of ingredients, 18 points of total review scores, 54 points, an average score of 6 points, reaching the promotion score line of this competition. Congratulations to the fifth longboat player for successfully advancing to the next round!"

Hearing the result announced by the host, the fifth long-term leader suddenly felt his feet soft and his whole body felt like he was exhausted. It was so thrilling! It was only a little bit long, so I continued to clean it! After finally stabilizing the plate, the fifth long-term leader let out a long sigh, and then raised his hand to the judges, "Thank you all the judges!" Now this result is the best for him, and it is really a lucky thing to pass the exam even if he goes off topic! The fifth long-term leader dares not have any opinions!

As the fifth longboat retreated, many contestants' faces changed. Obviously, these are guys who did not notice the trap. After all, they were just a hurried game that was decided to come out, and there were still some loopholes in the rules. At this moment, after hearing about the trap of the game, the contestants who had not completed the dishes quickly overturned the dishes they had decided before and rethinked how to cook dishes that match the test questions!

However, the four major areas are not the back gardens of the contestants. Every step is full of huge risks when taking action inside. Therefore, the vast majority of contestants only collected a few limited ingredients! Even if they were asked to decide the dishes again, they could not produce so many dishes. What's more, more people were full of ingredients of equal fractions. They were most desperate when holding these ingredients, because no matter how they matched the ingredients, the flavor problem between the ingredients could not be solved!

While the contestants showed despair, Qinglan and Qingxue were preparing their own dishes very calmly. They had already noticed the final trap and didn't need to feel uneasy about it! As long as they steadily perform their level and cook the ingredients at hand into the best delicacies, the qualification to advance is just their bag!

The most troublesome ingredient is the ingredient vine. Peeling, crushing, and making vine powder, which took a lot of time for the two of them. In order to do their best, they always strive for excellence when they do their hands, trying to make the most suitable ingredient vine powder! After the vine powder is prepared, the remaining process is much simpler for the two of them!

However, although the materials they chose were exactly the same, they had different results in the decision of the dish! Not long after, Qinglan's work was finally completed. At the same time, Qingxue also completed her work. After looking at each other's works, the two showed a confident smile on their faces. Turning back, they raised their hands.
Chapter completed!
