Even with the incident involving Yuan Hua and Tang Haohan, they only watched from afar and did not go up to join in the fun.
But they couldn't sit still when Lu Rong caught a bluefin tuna.
On the one hand, he was only twenty or thirty meters away from where Lu Rong and the others were, but the fish went to Lu Rong's side, which was a bit of a pity.
On the other hand, as the most promising candidate to win the national culinary competition, Lu Rong is already attracting a lot of attention.
Although they may not seem to be getting much attention on the surface, as contestants who are likely to be among the top in this competition, they naturally care about Lu Rong quite a bit.
First, I admire Lu Rong, and second, I'm curious about how Lu Rong will proceed with the next match.
"I never expected Lu Rong to be so lucky, catching such a valuable fish so easily," Shen Tao exclaimed from the side.
He admitted that if it were him, he would have caught the bluefin tuna immediately and wouldn't have given it a chance to escape.
Seeing that Lu Rong released the fish without hesitation, I didn't know whether to admire him or not.
Although the Shen family is a prominent family known for its culinary traditions, the family also has very high expectations of its members.
They have high hopes for their participation in the National Culinary Competition.
However, they have all received a good education from childhood, unlike many characters in TV dramas or novels who harbor resentment towards others and resort to underhanded tactics.
As for Lu Rong, they hoped for a fair competition.
As Shen Lanxin sat there, she couldn't help but glance at the handsome figure not far away, and then said, "I'm becoming more and more interested in him now, both in his cooking skills and his character."
"You don't have a crush on her, do you? She already has a boyfriend," Shen Tao hurriedly reminded him from the side.
Upon hearing this, Shen Lanxin couldn't help but purse her lips, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons: "Brother, what are you thinking? I do have a crush on him, but it's because of his cooking skills and character. I admire him more and want to be his friend. Don't think that means I've fallen for him."
Over the years, as a culinary genius who is one in a century in the Shen family, Shen Lanxin has always received warm care from all members of the family.
Of course, she lived up to everyone's expectations and made more and more progress in her culinary skills.
From childhood to adulthood, very few people have been able to surpass her, whether they are her peers or people much older than her. Now that she is 20 years old, it seems that no one around her can defeat her.
However, all of this has changed in the last two days.
Seeing such a formidable figure as Lu Rong on the very first day of the National Culinary Competition excited her.
Although she performed well in the first two days, she held back her true strength. She really wanted to have a good match with Lu Rong on the third day of the competition and see if she could beat him.
Of course, she wasn't coveting the championship position; she was just more curious about who was stronger, herself or Lu Rong.
This is something she really wants to know.
Unexpectedly, today's competition is based on the principle of self-service ingredient collection, so she has to be very serious and work hard to catch the fish she wants, even if it's not her favorite species, at least she'll have some fish.
As the saying goes, even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; without ingredients, no matter how good your skills are, it's all for naught.
But looking at the float on the water, which hadn't moved since it was first put in,...
Shen Lanxin was a little disappointed, thinking that this place might not be very lucky.
Thinking of this, she stood up and put away all her fishing gear.
"Where are you going? I think this location is pretty good," Shen Tao asked immediately from the side.
While tidying up, Shen Lanxin replied, "We are from the same family, but we are two different teams. If we go fishing together, people might suspect that we are exchanging ingredients privately, which is not good."
"I think I should go fishing over there?" he said, pointing in the direction where Lu Rong was.
Because Lu Rong's rock was very large, measuring seven or eight meters long, it didn't have much of an impact even if several people were fishing on it.
Besides, there's no rule that says you can't have other people around if someone is nearby, so she decided to go fishing with Lu Rong.
She trusted Lu Rong's judgment. Judging from his actions just now, Lu Rong was a seasoned fisherman, so she felt that Lu Rong's choice of location was probably correct.
He had been fishing for so long without any luck, so he figured he might have chosen a bad spot or that his luck hadn't run out yet. So he decided to go and try his luck next to Lu Rong.
At the same time, she also really wanted to get to know Lu Rong better and make friends with him.
These past few days everyone has been competing. As a competitor, her position is inherently sensitive, but she doesn't care anymore. The competition is one thing, but she hopes to make friends with outstanding people.
Shen Tao said he couldn't persuade his younger sister, so he could only wave his hand and let her do as she pleased.
"Alright, go by yourself then. Don't cry if you don't catch any fish."
Shen Lanxin glanced at him: "Do I look like such a useless person to you?"
Shen Tao smiled and said, "Alright, then do as you please."
After saying that, Shen Lanxin picked up her fishing gear and walked away without looking back.
Because they weren't far apart, they quickly stepped onto the reef where Lu Rong was.
