[BL] The Film Emperor's Daily Live Cooking Broadcast

96- Second Round

Three days later, the 2nd round started as scheduled, and as before, the venue was the Chefs' Association's branch office.

The 1st round had been very exciting. So as soon as this round started, a large number of spectators poured in, waiting eagerly to taste today's food.

The one hundred contestants were all in place. They were all standing before cooking stations arranged according to their ranking based on their performance on the previous round.

"First of all, congratulations to all 100 contestants. You have all successfully passed the 1st round, but the next rounds will only be more difficult so please make sure to prepare yourselves." Ruan Tang greeted them.

The contestants in the venue immediately gave a warm applause. They then stopped and waited for him to announce the details of today's contest.

[Miao Miao loves to eat all the dishes on the anchor: Oh wow, my Tang is also so handsome today!]

[Can't stop Hugging Trees: I don't know what it will be today, but I'm guessing mystery box!]

"Today's contest is a themed match. You will choose one of the three main ingredients specified and you will use it to create a dish together with the ingredients in the mystery box. The three best performers in the last round will enjoy a privilege in this round." President Gu paused, and continued, "These three players are, Zha Panpan, Cao Jun and Shi Mingxu. Please come with me. "

Zha Panpan, Cao Jun, and Shi Mingxu quickly left the ranks and followed behind President Gu inside the ingredients room.

The ingredients room was very large, about two or three hundred square meters. It was filled with a variety of fresh ingredients and various seasonings. The three main ingredients and mystery boxes to be used in today's game were also among them.

"The three of you, with your outstanding performances in the previous game, have won yourselves a privilege. Aside from the three main ingredients, you may choose any ingredient you wish to pair with it. You will not be limited to the contents of the mystery box and you may choose an ingredient that is your specialty."

When the three heard these words, their faces couldn't help but reveal their joy. After the last round, they already knew about mystery boxes. Compared to those random ingredients that appear in the boxes, it was, of course, easier to control their performance if they could use ingredients they chose themselves.

President Gu pointed to the ingredients in the transparent water tank. "These are the three main ingredients today. After you decide which one you want to make, you can go and get the ingredients you need to match."

The three main ingredients were fish, shrimp, and crab. These ingredients were difficult to handle, and Ruan Tang had cooked a variety of dishes using these three ingredients during his live broadcasts. If the contestants simply copied his dishes it would be impossible to obtain the viewers' support.

[Su Su Su Su Su: Wow, it's water monster crab again! It still looks so ugly ...]

[Genuine Devil: All three already aren't easy to cook with, but they also need to be paired with other ingredients. I have no idea what they'll choose.]

Zha Panpan thought about it for a moment, and then she got right to it. She picked up the basket, filled it with a big, fat Perch. She then went to the vegetable area to take a very unexpected ingredient — lotus root.

Lotus root was an ingredient that had just been added to the shopping site a few days ago. Ruan Tang also used it to make glutinous rice dumplings with lotus root when he broadcasted at noon the day before yesterday. Many viewers had a deep impression of this ingredient, but they also had the impression that it was too be used in sweet dishes. Seeing that Zha Panpan wanted to pair the lotus root with the fish, they couldn't help but start to whisper.
