Chapter 270 Challenger

No matter how anxious you are, as Luo Tian said, there is no point in panicking at this point.

Fortunately, Elder Li's anxiety and panic only affected him, causing him to feel anxious and have stomach pains, and his stomach was cramping, but it did not affect Luo Tian and Xu Qing at all.

Master Luo Tian looked at Elder Li's anxious and twisted face with a smile, but he was not panicked at all in his heart.

Even though Xu Qing said himself that he was unsure about this duel, there was a high possibility that he would lose.

However, Xu Qing's face, as he said these discouraging words, revealed an expression that Master Luo Tian had seen once before. That was the expression on Xu Qing's face when he was preparing medicinal food for the imperial envoy.

Xu Qing will do his best.

As for the results, Master Luo Tian no longer cares about them because it is meaningless.

Because no one in the world can defeat Xu Qing who has such determination.

Lao Tzu once said, "It is because he does not contend that no one in the world can contend with him."

When Xu Qing no longer cares about winning or losing, puts winning or losing behind him, and devotes his whole heart to displaying his talents, then no one in the world can compare to him.

However, Luo Tian just kept these thoughts in his heart and did not say them out loud.

Saying it out loud would only add unnecessary pressure to Xu Qing.

Let him keep this state of mind and do what he really wants to do, that's all.

As for Elder Li, let him worry for a while.

It just so happens that Elder Li’s anxiety can cause the dark cuisine world to make wrong judgments.

Just like now, there was a hint of disdain and arrogance in the glances of Elder Huang and Elder He from the opposite side. I'm afraid that in their hearts, victory in this duel is already in their pockets.

The four elders took their seats, briefly greeted each other, and then announced the official start of the third cooking showdown.

As the start was announced, the ingredients for this cooking showdown - native crucian carp - were placed beside the two men.

The small native crucian carp is only the size of a palm, and there is only a few pounds of meat. Moreover, the native crucian carp has many small bones. Half of every mouthful of fish meat is full of bones. It takes more time to pick out the bones than to eat the meat. It is very unpleasant to eat only the fish meat.

This kind of fish can be cooked by deep-frying it at high temperature to make the bones crispy and soft, or it can be used to make soup, filtering out the bones and leaving pure soup, which completely melts the nutrients and deliciousness of the fish into the soup.

Crucian carp soup has high nutritional value and is extremely delicious, making it unique among freshwater fish. The native crucian carp is the most delicious among all crucian carps and has the highest nutritional value.

Its only and also biggest drawback is that it has too many fish bones.

Perhaps most beautiful things are like this, with various flaws.

The world is like a naughty child. It creates beautiful things, but cruelly adds all kinds of shortcomings to them.

It makes perfection have flaws, but also gives beauty to flaws.

Add some bitterness to the happiness, and add some sweetness to the bitterness.

It plays tricks on everything in the world, breaking them down and then reassembling them at will.

In the end, nothing is perfect, but that is why there is always beauty in everything.

Cooking, on the other hand, is about reorganizing things, bringing out their respective beauty, removing those flaws, and ultimately presenting that beauty that has never been teased by the world to people, allowing them to be savored in their mouths and soaked in their hearts.

Just like the native crucian carp in front of you, it is small in size and has many thorns, but it has a rare delicious taste and delicate meat.

Now, what Xu Qing and Xiang En have to do is to remove its annoying flaws and only present its most delicious side.

The world is always playing tricks on people, but people like to pursue its beautiful aspects, like to restore the beauty of its imperfections, like to make up for the regrets, and like to make this world, which has always been full of all kinds of shortcomings, a little better than yesterday.

The native crucian carp is small in size and its bones are difficult to handle. If not handled properly, its delicious meat will be wasted.

It is for this reason that the two people's knife skills are tested by using native crucian carp.

The artist pays attention to every detail to show the ultimate in knife skills.

After placing the ingredients beside them, the two began to prepare their own dishes. Xiang En took out the strange kitchen knife and placed it on the table.

At this moment, Xu Qing seemed to notice something and looked up at the kitchen knife on the table.

Once he saw this, he couldn't take his glasses off.

It was just an ordinary kitchen knife, but it seemed to have infinite attraction to Xu Qing.

Every arc, every bend, every ray of light on the kitchen knife, even the length of the blade and the thickness of the handle, were all just right, so beautiful that it couldn't be more beautiful, like an arrow piercing straight into his heart, as if it had come out of his dream.

It can be described as his "dream knife".

Xu Qing, who was usually calm, was breathing rapidly. If it weren't for the trace of rationality in his mind reminding him that this was the scene of a cooking showdown, he would have wanted to walk quickly to Xiang En's table, hold the kitchen knife tightly in his hand, and never want to let go.

How can there be such a good knife in the world?

So beautiful, so exquisite, so fascinating.

At this moment, even if all the beauties from ancient times to the present were lined up in front of Xu Qing, they would not be as charming as the knife in front of him.

It was as if this was his natural partner, his destiny.

Xu Qing's enthusiastic gaze also caused a reaction from Cai Dao.

This kitchen knife, which had been in a deep sleep for a long time, seemed to wake up at this moment, and a strange feeling slowly flowed out, sensing everything around it, looking for the person who woke it up.

At this moment, Xu Qing sensed a strange feeling, a unique power like some kind of mental power flowing on the kitchen knife.

Xu Qing suddenly realized that the dark culinary world's way of dealing with the mind is the kitchen knife in front of him, which is this strange power similar to the mind.

But how could feelings appear on a kitchen knife?

Before Xu Qing could figure out what was going on, another thing in the field was also affected by the strange power of the kitchen knife.

It was the legendary kitchen utensil placed on the altar - the Yongling Knife.

The Yongling Sword seemed to sense its enemy, and a strange power slowly flowed through the blade, as if demonstrating its dominance and trying to suppress the kitchen knife that was provoking it.

The kitchen knife was a rookie and was not afraid of the power of the Yongling Knife at all. Instead, it fought back even more forcefully.

Two invisible and intangible forces were fighting in the dark, and the strange sensations they aroused were clearly felt by everyone present.

Elder Li asked in surprise, "What's going on? That kitchen knife feels very unusual."

"And the Eternal Spirit Sword."

Master Luo Tian looked at the Yongling Sword placed on the altar. As a contemporary manager, he could sense that something was wrong with the Yongling Sword better than anyone else.

Although the Yongling Sword still looks like an ordinary kitchen knife and does not display the Tyrant Dragon Pattern, its power and spirituality, its unique and vigorous vitality, make it impossible to regard it as an ordinary kitchen knife.

"Luo Tian, ​​do you think the feeling on the kitchen knife is a bit similar to..."

Elder Li hesitated, unable to believe his own thoughts.

“Like a thought.”

Luo Tian said, "This is probably the trump card that the dark cooking world has against us. I never thought that they understand the mind so well that they can find kitchen utensils that contain the mind."

“Is it possible to create kitchenware that contains a lot of heart?”

"Maybe it's just like the legendary kitchen utensils. But I didn't expect that there are kitchen utensils in the world that can compare with the legendary kitchen utensils."

It's probably not quite appropriate to say that they are compared, because that kitchen knife can in no way compete with the legendary kitchen utensil.

But there is no doubt that it is a challenger, a challenger that overestimates its own capabilities but is fully qualified.
