"Master Watanabe! You are here!!"
"Master Watanabe! I actually met Master Watanabe himself!! I'm so excited!!"
"Master Watanabe!! You will definitely be able to retain the title of Asia's Chef God in this competition!!"
"Master Watanabe! Long time no see! You are still as charming as ever!"
"Master Watanabe, you are finally here! I can't wait to enjoy your wonderful art!"
The people who came were Ichiro Watanabe from the Plaster Kingdom and his apprentice Nanajiro Ozawa.
At this moment, everyone gathered around the two of them, which formed a sharp contrast with the scene when Liu Lao and the other two came in just now.
Everyone greeted Ichiro Watanabe with a fawning look on their faces, their eyes full of admiration and flattery. If they could get some guidance from Master Watanabe, even just a little bit, their cooking skills would be greatly improved.
At this time, Ichiro Watanabe nodded to everyone with a smile on his face, and then slowly walked to the Chinese preparation area.
He looked at Mr. Liu with a cheerful face and said, "President Liu, long time no see. How are you doing recently? What kind of dishes are you going to bring to the competition this time? Don't make those fancy things to attract people's attention. Oh, by the way, how is your master recently? I had the honor of meeting him last time, but I left in a hurry and didn't ask him for advice."
"Hmph, I've long seen through the cooking skills of Chinese chefs. Compared to our plaster dishes, they're not even as good as pig food!" Ozawa Nanajiro snorted coldly.
"Little Japanese! Who are you talking about!?" Long Jian, who was behind Old Liu, was furious. He picked up the guest card on the table and rushed towards Ozawa Nanajiro, but was pulled back by Old Liu.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce him. This is my apprentice, Nanajiro Ozawa. He has inherited all my culinary skills. I will not compete in this competition. Let him go. After all, the chef world will still rely on these young people in the future." Ichiro Watanabe smiled and patted Nanajiro Ozawa's shoulder.
After hearing what Watanabe Ichiro said, everyone present turned their eyes to Ozawa Nanajiro with envious looks on their faces.
"Did I hear it right?! This kid is actually Master Watanabe's apprentice! And he has inherited all of his legacy!"
"How old is he? He looks like he's only sixteen or seventeen? This is incredible!"
"Yes, if this person grows up, his future achievements will be limitless!!"
Hearing everyone's flattery, Ozawa Shichiro raised his chin with a smug look on his face.
But Mr. Liu, who was sitting next to him, had a dark face.
He has inherited all the skills of the old man Watanabe at such a young age. If he is allowed to grow up, then China will be suppressed by the Plaster Country and will not be able to stand up in the future!!!
At this time, Long Jian behind him snorted coldly: "Humph! If it was Watanabe Ichiro, I might still be a little afraid of him, but he dared to send a young man, so I'm going to dampen his enthusiasm! ”
Old Liu looked at Long Jian beside him with a complicated expression. He wanted to say something, but he held it back. Now, no matter how much he said, it would be useless. Everything depended on God's will.
At this time, Ozawa Nanajiro glanced at Long Jian with disdain and sneered, "I heard that China sent you to compete this time? Haha, let me make a promise first, don't cry when you get used to it later!"
"Hmph!! You'll win so quickly that even your mother won't recognize you!!!" Long Jian replied coldly.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the venue became tense.
Seeing that all participating countries had arrived, the music started and the host walked onto the stage with an excited look on his face.
"Dear Sen and Jet, welcome to the once-in-a-decade Asian Chef Championship! I am the host of this event! Sedenima Quhei!
I believe everyone is already eagerly waiting for the showdown between the top chefs! Without further ado, let me introduce our contestants.
The first one is from China. It is said that he has mastered all Chinese cuisines and is known as the rising star of Chinese culinary world - Long Jian!!!"
There was thunderous applause from the audience, but most of it came from Chinese reporters and some countries friendly to China.
"Okay! The next one is a heavyweight. His teacher is Mr. Ichiro Watanabe, who holds the title of Asian Chef God and has been sitting firmly on this seat for thirty years!
And he! He has already mastered all that Master Watanabe has learned throughout his life! He has won several national championships in Japan. He is our Nanajiro Ozawa!!!"
At this moment, everyone stood up, with excitement on their faces!!!
The host then introduced the other contestants one by one and began to announce the rules of the competition.
"Next, I will announce the rules of this competition. This competition is different from previous years. In the past, everyone prepared their own ingredients and made their best dishes.
This time, we have prepared a food area for the contestants. The contestants can only choose the ingredients they need to cook in the food area. The contestants need to complete the dishes they are satisfied with within 30 minutes.
Finally, our jury will evaluate and select the Asian Chef of the year. Now I declare that the competition begins!"
With the host's final shout, the audience was all excited.
The contestant from the Kimchi Country rushed out first without waiting for everyone to react, went straight to the food area, grabbed the only spicy cabbage in the food area in his hand, and at the same time grabbed a handful of bean sprouts with his other hand. Then he looked around, and finally picked up some seafood and seasonings, and then walked to the stove with satisfaction.
Seeing this, the contestant from Curry Country did not give in at all. He dived into the food area and started buying things frantically. He didn't know whether he could use them or not, but he bought everything he could see.
Chefs from the remaining small countries also joined in the competition to grab food.
Only Long Jian and Ozawa Nanajiro were left motionless at the scene. The two of them stared at each other without blinking. If eyes could kill, they would have died thousands of times already.
Finally, Ozawa Nanajiro couldn't help it, blinked heavily, and then sneered.
"Oh, the Chinese only know this little trick." After saying that, he walked towards the food area.
Long Jian's eyes were filled with anger. He took a deep breath and followed him.
Ozawa Nanajiro walked to the food area, took a look around, and when he saw the pufferfish in the aquarium, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's you!"
