"The Gan family really went all out; they even put up a fish for this competition!"

"Indeed! It also shows that the work in this restaurant is very lucrative, otherwise who would be willing to invest so much?"

Of course, most people were cooking simple home-style dishes, so when they saw someone else bring out fish, they panicked and felt like they were at a disadvantage.

In this panic, things that were once done well seemed to be forgotten, such as forgetting to add salt or adding too much firewood.

One woman was tossing the food in the wok too hard, causing the food to fly out and land in the wok of another contestant, which immediately drew laughter.

Ganli stood aside, taking in everyone's reactions.

She glanced around and noticed several neatly dressed women in the crowd who were indeed quite skilled at their work. Their movements were so practiced and experienced that it was clear they were people who cooked at home regularly.

Although Gan Tao is young, she is not inferior to others in the crowd. She moves quickly and skillfully, and she is not flustered by the gazes of those around her. Instead, she appears exceptionally calm.

Ganli had long known that she was capable, but seeing her still possess such composure was a pleasant surprise.

However, what truly surprised Gan Li was Gan Yingzi.

She hadn't had high expectations for Gan Yingzi, after all, she was younger than Gan Tao and seemed rather boisterous during their last meeting. Unexpectedly, she was incredibly efficient at her work, washing, chopping, and preparing vegetables with remarkable skill and efficiency.

Gan Li watched, secretly marveling.
