Chapter 315 Give Everything

When two people meet on a narrow road, what they compete with is not only strength, but also courage.

If you give up easily, you will be defeated by the opponent in one blow and there will be no possibility of struggling.

Therefore, even though there is little hope, the mysterious man now has only one way left.

That means fighting, fighting with all your might.

No, it is not enough to use all your strength, you also have to surpass your limits and squeeze out all your hidden strength!
At this moment, the mysterious man's will was more focused than ever before. Every inch of flesh and blood, every nerve in his body was fully mobilized by him. This all-out effort brought a huge burden to his mind and body, causing his physical strength to be quickly consumed. He was sweating all over, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

But the amazing thing is that none of his sweat fell on the chopping board. Whenever it fell, he would remove it subconsciously. The knife in his hand and the food on the chopping board seemed to form an independent little world, isolated from the outside world. In this independent world, the food became more delicate and beautiful, showing a charming style.

At the same time, his face turned a sickly red, and the blood in his body was rushing madly, almost as if it was about to burst out of his body.

It was at this time that the knife skills in his hands underwent amazing changes with every stroke, becoming more and more simple and more and more mysterious.

It is so plain that it is boring, yet so mysterious that every stroke of the knife seems to explain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

Only those who understand can see this truth.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, they only saw him doing meaningless things. First, he wasted the processed ingredients, and then he even displayed such mediocre knife skills. The sweat and red face on his face seemed more like he was frustrated after making a wrong decision.

He actually wasted such a favorable situation and forced himself into an unfavorable one. What was this mysterious man thinking?
Everyone was confused.

However, Xu Qing could see that the mysterious man's knife skills were gradually approaching his own.

Originally, the mysterious man's knife skills were outstanding, and it can be said that he was only one step away from a breakthrough. At this moment, Xu Qing showed him a higher level. Coupled with his unyielding determination and perseverance, the mysterious man continued to challenge himself and move towards that higher level.

But this kind of power that exceeds the limit cannot be sustained for long.

Therefore, the mysterious man's knife skills became slower and slower, the redness on his face dissipated and turned pale, he was panting heavily, at this moment his body and spirit had reached the limit, the only thing supporting him was his perseverance and determination to never give up.

Also, the partner in his hand.

The kitchen knife in the mysterious man's hand also reached its limit in order to support him. In order to help the mysterious man push his knife skills to an incredible level, it poured all its spirituality into realizing his wishes one by one.

However, that vigorous spirituality has now dimmed and has become no different from an ordinary kitchen knife. If this continues, the spirituality in the knife will completely disappear.

Realizing this, the mysterious man consciously wanted to stop.

It's just that he wanted to stop, but the kitchen knife in his hand didn't want to stop.

Even if its spirituality dissipates, it will not admit defeat. It doesn't want to admit defeat!

"Well, in that case, let's put everything into this dish!"

Sensing his partner's thoughts, the mysterious man wielded the kitchen knife and finished the final job.

The moment he put down the kitchen knife, it had completely fallen silent, its spirituality dissipated, never to be restored.

Now it is not even worthy of the word "defective product". It is just an ordinary kitchen knife.

In the end, it was unable to grow into a kitchen knife that could compare with the legendary kitchen utensil. It burned everything it had along the way, leaving behind a brilliant ending.

Is it worth it?
For a cooking competition with an unknown outcome, he gave up the opportunity for continuous growth and a bright future.

The mysterious man felt it was not worth it.

If it's just a kitchen knife, you might think it's worth it.

The mysterious man whispered, "Thank you, partner. I will never forget this day, and I will never forget this cooking showdown."

The mysterious man looked at Xu Qing and said, "Xu Qing! I will definitely not lose this duel!"

Because at this moment, he is not only carrying his own honor and dignity, but also everything his companions have done for him. What a passionate friendship!

It makes him look like an evil villain.

Xu Qing thought to himself with a mixture of laughter and tears.

But that's how cooking competitions work, there are winners and losers. The chefs burn out everything, putting everything they have into it, in order to climb to the limit.

Perhaps in the eyes of people who don’t understand, they are ridiculous for forcing themselves into this state just for a cooking showdown.

What if I lose? I won't die.

But for them, winning or losing is just one aspect. They simply give everything for what they love without reservation.

Very silly, but also touchingly silly.

People always do some stupid things in their lives, so what's wrong with doing stupid things for the things they love?

At least Xu Qing felt good.

Every time this happens, he feels that being able to become a chef, meeting so many different kinds of people, and having one cooking showdown after another in which they give their all, is very meaningful to him.

Xu Qing responded: "Me too, I will not lose this duel!"

Both of them firmly believed that they would win and must win!

But there can't be two winners in a cooking competition, one of them will inevitably end up with disappointment.

Because cooking duels are sacred, but also cruel. They are fair, but also indifferent.

It is purely based on strength that determines victory or defeat.

No matter how many moral expectations the chefs have, it cannot change the fact that the strong are respected.

From this perspective, the leading chefs in Shanghai sitting on the judging panel actually have a more thorough understanding of the matter.

They have seen through the gorgeous and beautiful moral cloak and the cruel reality of the cooking showdown.

Therefore, holiness and morality are not worth mentioning in their eyes, and only the strong are the winners.

The minced chicken for both sides is ready, and only the final processing steps remain.

Xu Qing was full of energy and handled the task with ease. Although the mysterious man had exhausted all his strength, he still had firm willpower and determination. This willpower and determination allowed him to squeeze out every bit of strength in his body and complete the final step with skills that were no less than Xu Qing's.

Before long, the two dishes were completed and placed on the judging table.

Everyone in the judging panel looked embarrassed at this moment.

Based on their previous observations, it was really difficult to judge the outcome.

Logically speaking, the mysterious man had better knife skills and a higher chance of winning, but his performance afterwards was so inexplicable that people lost confidence in him.

Although Xu Qing is young, he has many legendary deeds. However, in terms of cooking skills, his knife skills are mediocre, which is really disappointing.

It is difficult to judge which side has a greater chance of winning based on rational analysis alone.

Shen Cong said: "Everyone, there is no need to think about it anymore. I suggest that we put aside rational thinking and rely entirely on our own taste buds to feel and experience the taste of the dishes. Then let your feelings make the decision."

Let your feelings decide? That's not wise.

But at this moment, they had no other choice.
