The incense stick will soon burn out before our eyes.

Then, Zhang Fugui's shouts came from behind the screen!

"My hidden universe is complete!"

Prince Ning was overjoyed: "Good! Bring it out quickly, let me broaden my horizons!"

Grand Tutor Hua hurriedly said, "Li Huan, you should also bring out the 'Hidden Universe'!"

The servants acted swiftly and removed the three screens.

Zhang Fugui and his assistant carried a wooden plate toward the referee.

On the plate sits a roast suckling pig, glistening with oil and reddish-brown!

"Roast suckling pig!" Grand Tutor Hua exclaimed!

Zhang Fugui said, "Your Highness, Grand Tutor, the suckling pig I roasted is no ordinary suckling pig; it holds a secret within!"

Tang Bohu couldn't help but say, "There are eight kinds of ingredients inside the roast suckling pig, so it's called Eight Treasure Roast Suckling Pig, right?"

Zhang Fugui shook his head: "The Eight Treasure Roasted Suckling Pig you mentioned is no different from the Eight Treasure Duck. How could I possibly cook such a simple dish?"

At this moment, Li Huan walked over carrying a plate.

On the plate are ten walnuts!

"Walnuts?" Prince Ning asked curiously.

Everyone was curious.

The dish Li Huan cooked actually consisted of ten walnuts!

What's going on?

Grand Tutor Hua was astonished and rubbed his eyes hard, thinking he had seen wrong.

"Li Huan, what are you doing? You spent almost half an hour and only produced ten walnuts? How... how are you going to compete with Zhang Fugui like this?"

Madam Hua hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir. The ten walnuts that Li Huan made must have a secret hidden inside!"

Grand Tutor Hua suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, there must be delicious food hidden inside the walnut!"

Prince Ning laughed loudly, "Hahaha, how can a tiny walnut compare to a huge roast suckling pig? Li Huan is doomed to lose this round!"

Li Huan said, "Judging the deliciousness and creativity of dishes is not about comparing size, but about comparing ingenuity! Please, Grand Tutor, Your Highness, and all judges, taste my walnuts!"

"Try my roast suckling pig first!" Zhang Fugui said, not wanting to be left behind.

Grand Tutor Hua said, "Li Huan has already finished cooking; we should taste his walnuts first!"

Prince Ning said, "Zhang Fugui brought out the roast suckling pig first; we should taste his first!"

Li Huan laughed and said, "No problem, no problem, let's try Zhang Fugui's roast suckling pig first!"

Zhang Fugui and his assistant quickly placed the roast suckling pig on the table in front of the referee.

This roast suckling pig is indeed roasted very well.

It has a reddish-brown color, a glossy sheen, and a fragrant aroma.

Grand Tutor Hua said, "It looks quite appetizing. I wonder what's inside this suckling pig?"

Zhang Fugui picked up the dagger, a smug look on his face: "Please take a look, Your Highness and Grand Tutor!"

As he spoke, Zhang Fugui used a sharp knife to cut open the belly of the roast suckling pig.

Suddenly, a duck was revealed.

Prince Ning slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed in approval.

Grand Tutor Hua said, "What's so strange about a duck being hidden inside a pig's belly? Your Highness is getting a little too excited!"

Prince Ning said, "Look at this roast suckling pig, its belly is intact. To hide such a large duck inside the pig's belly, they must have used a clever method!"

The eight referees all nodded in agreement with Prince Ning.

Grand Tutor Hua asked, "Zhang Fugui, why did you stuff a duck into the belly of a roast suckling pig?"

Zhang Fugui said, "Reporting to the Grand Tutor! I stuffed the duck into the belly of the roast suckling pig from its hindquarters!"

"Haha..." Tang Bohu laughed out loud, "How can you fit a roast suckling pig's hindquarters into such a small place?"

Zhang Fugui said, "That's right, the hindquarters of a roast suckling pig are indeed small, but they can be cut open, stuffed with a duck, and then sewn back together!"

Tang Bohu exclaimed in surprise: "Holy crap! This actually works?"

Zhang Fugui said, "Of course you can. If you're interested, you can give it a try!"

Tang Bohu said, "I have absolutely no interest in food that's stuffed into my backside!"

Grand Tutor Hua said, "Having a duck hidden inside a roast suckling pig isn't exactly a brilliant idea, is it?"

Chef Ma said, "The idea is indeed ordinary. Zhang Fugui, what other surprises do you have in store?"

Zhang Fugui said with a smile, "If the roast suckling pig only contained a duck, it would be a disservice to the Prince and the Grand Tutor's long wait! Please take a look!"

Zhang Fugui used a sharp knife to cut open the duck's belly, revealing a rooster!

"Excellent!" Prince Ning slammed his hand on the table and cheered again!

A royal chef gave a thumbs up: "The roast suckling pig has a duck inside, and the duck has a rooster inside. Brilliant, brilliant!"

Another chef exclaimed, "If the roast suckling pig only had a duck inside, it would indeed seem ordinary, but having a rooster inside the duck is truly eye-catching!"

Zhang Fugui said, "Don't worry, there's more to this rooster than meets the eye!"

He continued using the sharp knife to cut open the rooster's belly, revealing a pigeon!

Prince Ning immediately clapped his hands: "Incredible! This is an eye-opener for me! I never imagined there would be a pigeon inside a rooster's belly!"

"This roast suckling pig is absolutely exquisite!"

"From pigs to ducks, from ducks to chickens, from chickens to pigeons, it's interesting, extremely interesting!"

"Zhang Fugui's idea perfectly fits the theme of 'hidden secrets'!"

"His culinary skills are superb, truly admirable!"

"It's not just skillful, it's practically divine!"

"I admit my inferiority, I am indeed inferior..."

...

The eight referees all commented, expressing their deep feelings.

Li Huan laughed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there's a quail hidden inside the pigeon's belly, isn't there?"

Prince Ning exclaimed excitedly, "No way, there's something hidden inside the pigeon?"

Zhang Fugui said, "Li Huan guessed right!"

He used a sharp knife to cut open the pigeon's belly, revealing a quail.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Everyone thought that the feast would be exciting enough, from roast suckling pig to duck, then to rooster, and finally to pigeon. Little did they expect that there was a quail hidden inside the pigeon's belly.

Grand Tutor Hua closed his mouth, which had been gaping open in astonishment, and stared at the quail.

He blinked, and asked uncertainly, "This...could there be some food hidden inside this quail's belly?"

Before Zhang Fugui could answer, Li Huan said, "Of course there could be! There should be a sparrow hiding there!"

Zhang Fugui's expression was displeased: "Li Huan, I'm responsible for introducing the dishes I cooked. Please don't interrupt and steal the show!"

Li Huan shrugged and said deliberately, "I was just guessing, who knew it would be so easy to guess correctly."

Zhang Fugui snorted and then used a sharp knife to cut open the quail's belly.

Sure enough, a sparrow appeared!

"Hahaha..." Prince Ning laughed wildly, raising his head. "What a hidden world within! Today I have truly broadened my horizons! Hahaha..."

"Your culinary skills are unparalleled!"

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

I admire you to the core!

"From roast suckling pig to sparrows, it's a constant stream of surprises!"

...

All eight judges gave Zhang Fugui a thumbs-up and praised him enthusiastically...
