"Congratulations to everyone for advancing to the quarter-finals. Go back and make your preparations. Three days later, I hope you can show us a splendid performance. The top three performers today will also have a special privilege for the next round. The top three will also be announced then. "

"Yes!"

After the players left, the three judges once again stayed for a discussion. There were several players who performed well today, so they needed more time to choose.

Zha Panpan's spicy stir-fried fish with lotus root slices and Shi Mingxu's Tom Yum Goong-like soup, both left a deep impression on them. Two of the top three places must surely belong to them. However, Cao Jun, who performed well in the previous round, only performed so-so today. It may be that Ruan Tang's Emperor of the Seas clay pot dish caused his Shrimp and Vermicelli clay pot dish to appear pale in comparison, but the number of votes he received was barely enough to propel him into the top 50, and he was almost in danger of being eliminated.

After thinking about it, the three finally chose the Wu Anmin who made the spicy fragrant pot. It was clear to them that Wu Anmin's spicy fragrant pot was not the result of a random mixture of ingredients made from a last ditch effort out of helplessness. He didn't just toss in all the ingredients and fried them together. Instead, he spent a lot of time and thought into making it. The sauce he prepared was really delicious, rich and fragrant, with layers upon layers of flavor. He controlled the heat precisely, making sure that none of the ingredients would be cooked too tough or not cooked enough. Every shrimp and piece of tofu was made to absorb the spicy sauce. Though there were a lot of flavors, the overall flavor was not haphazard. Though oily, it wasn't greasy. Each spoonful of the soup was truly a pleasure for the taste buds.

So the three judges unanimously decided to include him in the top three.

After recording the show, Ruan Tang returned home by suspended car. He was welcomed by the embrace of his dear younger brother.

"Brother! Brother! I want to eat spicy fragrant pot!" The little guy had already been discharged from the hospital and was wearing a little green dinosaur one-piece pajama. He looked small, soft and chubby. Ruan Tang could not help but to hug and kiss him. Ruan Yu also hugged his brother's neck, accepting his kiss with a blush. He then said with a crisp and clear voice, "Although it looked delicious, Xiao Yu didn't eat a single bite. Xiao Yu only eats brother's dishes!"

This cutting-edge chef contest had been gaining popularity recently, and Ruan Yu, of course, also watched it. But for some unknown reason, this little guy refused to taste any of the dishes there. According to him, his brother was the best chef in the world. Therefore, the most amazing dishes were made by his most amazing brother. If he encounters something that he especially liked, he would pester his older brother to make it for him. In his eyes, older brother was almighty, and could cook anything.

Of course, he really could.

"You cheater, didn't you eat Aunt Ran's cooking?" Ruan Tang picked up the little guy and kissed him on his soft and tender cheek. "Okay, brother will make spicy fragrant pot for you!"

Considering that his brother's stomach has yet to fully recovered, Ruan Tang chose ingredients that were easier to digest, and he put in less spices. The resulting flavor was spicy but not as stimulating as the original. The taste, though, was absolutely terrific.

They cooked a pot of white rice, and together with the rich flavor of the spicy fragrant pot, and an extremely delicious beef soup, the two people ate until their mouths were completely smeared in oil.

Ruan Tang also packed three portions of the spicy fragrant pot and sent them to the Military Headquarters, the Academy of Sciences and the Jinjiang Live Broadcast Headquarters. Because the Imperial Army was still fighting with the Valens, He Wei Ye was very busy these days, staying cooped up in the military department almost every day, He Yun Yi was also busy with the cultivation and breeding of the Zergs, often staying in the Academy of Sciences the whole day, and recently the new cutting-edge cooking competition has also kept Ran Jing, the president of Jinjiang Live Broadcast, busy, and naturally she no longer had any time to cook.
