This was something that Cheng zhaomei had always been proud of. Although he had always been doing his duty as the senior brother and learning cooking skills diligently, after a long time, when no one could surpass him except for Yuan Zhou, everyone would be somewhat complacent.

When one suddenly became rich, they would have no idea what to do. After fan Jin passed the Imperial High School Examination, he would go crazy. Cheng zhaomei was just an ordinary person, so she would naturally have such a situation.

However, he himself didn’t realize this matter, while Yuan Zhou did. Therefore, even if Paul didn’t come to challenge him this time, he would also deal with Cheng zhaomei’s matter. Now, it was just right.

Cheng zhaomei saw that Paul only used some simple ingredients. He basically knew them, but he didn’t know what the effect would be after mixing them together. This was a problem. He only knew one of the ingredients but didn’t know how it worked.

If it was a rare ingredient, it was normal for him to not know about it. No one was perfect. Except for her master, Yuan Zhou, no one would know everything like the Encyclopedia. However, if he didn’t know about common ingredients, even if it was an overseas ingredient, it would be a disgrace to his dignity as the senior brother and also let down his master’s expectations. Cheng zhaomei suddenly realized something.

“Looks like I’ll have to continue working hard when I get back.”

Cheng zhaomei’s slightly impetuous heart had completely calmed down and her temperament had changed. Mi Hao and Liu Mingyuan didn’t feel anything, but Yuan Zhou, who had specially called Cheng zhaomei over, felt relieved in his heart.

“This little sister recruitment, his comprehension is not bad.”

Having achieved his purpose, Yuan Zhou focused his mind on cooking again.

“Ding Ling Ling Ling Ling”

There was a time limit for the two of them to cook. They set an hour and a half as the time limit for one dish. That was more than enough time. If it wasn’t enough, it would test the chef’s ability to adapt. Therefore, when the time was up and the alarm clock rang, the two of them stopped at the same time.

He didn’t see the entire process of Yuan Zhou cooking. With a glance occasionally, Paul knew that Yuan Zhou was very strong. However, when he saw a smooth ball the size of a volleyball on the opposite plate, he became a little puzzled.

“I don’t think Chinese food should be like this. How come there’s only a ball without any gravy?” Paul felt that his head was really full of little kids.

Even if he had never tasted Chinese food before, he still knew a little about it. This round ball was completely beyond his knowledge of Chinese food, and he felt a little annoyed.

“Head chef Paul, you can try my heaven and earth brocade first.” Yuan Zhou raised his hand and gestured to him courteously.

To be honest, not only was Paul confused, even Cheng zhaomei and the others who had been staring at Yuan Zhou’s cooking were also at a loss.

Previously, Yuan Zhou’s actions could still be understood. He kneaded the dough and stir-fried the vegetables. However, how did a round ball appear in the end? that was really puzzling.

Not only was Paul staring at the ball, but even Cheng zhaomei and the other two were staring at it with their necks stretched out. Those who didn’t know better might even think that Yuan Zhou had three giraffes here.

After all, Cheng zhaomei knew more about Yuan Zhou. When she heard the name of the heaven and earth brocade, she guessed that there was more to the dish than the others.

However, apart from some ingredients, Yuan Zhou only used Kojac during the whole process. It was very puzzling where the ball came from.

Paul didn’t have such complicated thoughts as Cheng zhaomei and the others. When he heard Yuan Zhou call him to go first, he directly walked over, intending to taste the ball.

After taking the spoon from Yuan Zhou, Paul intended to poke the ball to have a look. He felt that there must be something inside. Otherwise, Yuan Zhou definitely didn’t have the capability to make a ball.

“Ka Cha, ka Cha”

At that moment, Paul’s sharp ears picked up a crisp cracking sound. Before he could react, the originally perfect ball in front of him was covered in a spider’s web.

Paul, who was about to poke the ball with a spoon and only intended to make a small hole to see what was inside, suddenly froze in place. His first reaction was,””I haven’t touched it yet. It wasn’t me.”

“Head chef Paul, it’s fine. This is the unique feature of the heaven and earth brocade dish. It will crack on its own three minutes after it’s completed.” Yuan Zhou said.

This was a very interesting dish that he had studied for a long time. Of course, he had also borrowed some means from the anime and directly brought it to reality. It would definitely not be the same. It was the heaven and earth brocade that belonged to Yuan Zhou.

Before Paul could react to Yuan Zhou’s words, the spiderweb-like cracks on the ball grew larger again. Slowly, the ball melted in front of his eyes and then broke into pieces of almost the same size.

Then, a stream of hot air rushed out, revealing the contents inside. There were pieces of tofu about the same size as the surface, and glossy noodles wrapped in a layer of beautiful sauce. In fact, it was not just the noodles, but also the tofu wrapped in a lot of sauce.

When some of the pieces were flipped over due to the impact, one could see that there was a layer of sauce on the inside. The hot smell of the sauce was very intoxicating.

“This should be the magic of the East. No wonder head chef Yuan is known as the magic Chef of the East. It’s simply unbelievable. It turns out that cooking is like magic!”

Paul had seen with his own eyes that the originally fine ball had turned into a plate of fried noodles that looked, smelled, and tasted great. In just one or two minutes, he felt that his world view had been reshaped. Not to mention that his light of the Cape was like the light of a grain of rice compared to this magic-like dish, even the other top masters he knew, even the current Turkey national treasure-level real big shots, did not have such strength.

Even though Paul hadn’t tasted the dish yet, he was already convinced by Yuan Zhou. No wonder he was able to attend Akara’s meeting 20 years earlier than him. He was really worthy of his reputation. As the youngest person in his 50s who was expected to attend the meeting, he was nothing in front of Yuan Zhou.

He had originally wanted to poke a hole in it with a spoon to slowly look at it, but now that it was all broken, Paul nimbly changed to a fork, inserted a piece of tofu-like thing into his mouth, and stuffed it.

The thick sauce on the surface exuded its unique charm as soon as it came into contact with his mouth. It was sour, spicy, and appetizing. It was extremely delicious. After biting into it, he realized that it wasn’t tofu. Not only was the color different, but it was also a light brown. The texture was also different. There was a little colloid and chewy on the surface, but the inside was still very soft and smooth. Coupled with the fresh and spicy sauce, Paul felt that he could eat an entire plate of tofu without any rest.

Restraining his urge to eat more, Paul turned to the skin that had just formed the ball. It was about the same size as tofu, but its thickness was incomparable. It was only about half a centimeter thick because it was covered with sauce.

When he picked it up and placed it in front of his eyes, he found that there were some cobweb-like holes in the broken part. They were very dense, like noodles. Some sauce flowed into the holes and seeped in, looking very appetizing.

Paul couldn’t wait to stuff a piece into his mouth, and he was instantly amazed by the completely different texture from the previous tofu-like block.
