Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 461: I’m in for a treat this time
Qu Chuxiao cast a joking look at Teacher He, "Teacher He, you are in for a treat this time."

The audience burst into even more enthusiastic applause and laughter.

Teacher He smiled and shook his head, turning his gaze to Qu Chuxiao, "Chu Xiao, you really left a deep impression on Wu Jin with that scene just now."

Hearing this, Qu Chuxiao smiled and said, "Teacher He, doesn't this also make the program more interesting? Look, don't everyone enjoy it?"

Wu Jin next to him also took up the conversation, "Indeed! I can still feel the scent of flour in my nose." He deliberately made a bitter face, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Lin Ke patted Wu Jin on the shoulder, "Stop blaming others. Come on, let's get ready for the next step."

At this time, the host stepped forward again, "Okay, okay, everyone, please pay attention! Let's enter the second link - 'Food Making Challenge'. Each team needs to use the materials we provide to complete a dish within half an hour, and Let everyone taste it.”

"Half an hour?" Zhao Jinmai frowned slightly, "This time is a bit tight."

Lin Ke seemed confident, "It's okay, aren't there people in our team who are good at cooking? This won't be a problem for us."

Qu Chuxiao immediately stood up with his chest raised, "Leave it to me! I promise to make your eyes shine."

Teacher He also joked: "Oh, be careful not to use flour as a secret weapon and sprinkle it into the dishes again."

The whole place burst into laughter again.

As the game officially started, Lin Ke and Zhao Jinmai hurried to the food area. In the process of selecting ingredients, Zhao Jinmai suddenly said to Lin Ke with some embarrassment: "Lin Ke, I have to tell you something... I am a big idiot in cooking."

Lin Ke was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed, "Haha, what's the point? Don't forget that I came from Beidiao to Hengdian to work hard. At that time, I cooked for myself in order to save money, and I tried all kinds of dishes. "

Zhao Jinmai was obviously relieved after hearing this, "That's great! It seems that our team is really relying on you today."

The two of them chatted while choosing ingredients. Lin Ke's sharp eyes spotted fresh shrimps and vegetables in the corner. "Here, let's use these to make a refreshing shrimp salad? It's simple yet delicious." He suggested.

"Sounds great!" Zhao Jinmai responded excitedly.

At the same time, Wu Jin and Qu Chuxiao were nervously selecting their ingredients on the other side. Qu Chuxiao still maintained a confident attitude, "Brother Wu Jin, don't worry! I learned a lesson from the flour incident last time - never underestimate any link."

Wu Jin smiled and said nothing, just nodded slightly in agreement.

After Lin Ke finished selecting the ingredients, he suddenly had an idea, "By the way, in addition to shrimp salad, we can also make braised carp. I used to make it often when I lived by myself, and it tastes great."

Zhao Jinmai looked at him nervously, "But... I can't even wash vegetables well."

"Haha, it's okay." Lin Ke patted her shoulder, "Just be my little assistant. Follow me and learn a few tricks, and I guarantee that you will become a chef yourself next time."

The two of them smiled and walked towards the seafood area. Lin Ke chose a fresh, lively big carp, "Look at the color and vitality, it's perfect!"

Zhao Jinmai was infected by his enthusiasm and began to actively participate. "So what do we need now?"

"First we have to prepare ginger, green onions, cooking wine, bean paste and other seasonings." Lin Ke said as he put the corresponding seasonings into the shopping cart. After returning to the competition venue, Lin Ke began to show off his knife skills. He handled the carp quickly and accurately and instructed Zhao Jinmai how to clean vegetables. "Remember, when washing vegetables, rinse them repeatedly with running water."

"Wow! It turns out there are so many things to pay attention to!" Zhao Jinmai praised while learning.

Later, under the leadership of Lin Ke, the two began to make braised carp. Lin Ke explained the importance of each step while operating: "First heat the pot, add oil. When the oil is 70% hot, sauté the ginger slices and fenugreek until fragrant. This will remove the earthy smell of the fish. Then put the fish in the pot on both sides. Fry it a little to lock in the moisture..."

Throughout the process, Lin Ke never forgot to turn around to confirm whether Zhao Jinmai was keeping up with the rhythm, and patiently answered every question she raised.

At the competition venue, other contestants chose relatively simple dishes, such as mixed cucumbers and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Only Lin Ke challenges traditional hard dishes like braised carp.

"Oh, look at the attitude of our Chef Lin, he is going to heaven!" Qu Chuxiao stood aside and joked.

Wu Jin also came over and said with a smile: "Indeed, the candidates for us are all pediatricians, but you are the only one who can't reach such a high level."

Lin Ke held a fish scraper in his hand and easily scraped off the scales on the big carp, "Haha, I just want everyone to have a taste of my hometown. Just wait and eat good food."

Zhao Jinmai stood aside to help collect the scraped fish scales, "I didn't expect that making braised carp requires so much effort."

"All hard work pays off." Lin Ke responded with a smile, "It will come out later, and I guarantee it will make your eyes shine."

Teacher He also came around to observe, "Let me tell you, Lin Ke, your technical level is really not low. Did you practice cooking your own food when you were drifting to Beijing?"

"Absolutely." Lin answered casually, "At that time, I was living alone outside and learned to be self-sufficient."

Everyone around them nodded. "Okay! Let's learn about your skills today." Qu Chuxiao joked.

As the game progressed, contestants from other teams began to frequently cast curious and shocked glances. They all whispered when they saw Lin Ke challenging such a complicated dish.

"Is that Lin Ke too confident? It's not easy to complete a dish like braised carp within a limited time." A contestant whispered to his teammates.

"I think he wants to take the opportunity to show off himself. But at this pace, can he really do it?" Another person also joined the discussion.

In the auditorium on the sidelines, several onlookers were also discussing: "Brother, do you think Lin Ke can cook the carp before the time is up?"

"Who knows, it would be embarrassing if I couldn't do it."

However, amidst everyone's questioning and attention, Lin Ke seemed to turn a deaf ear. He concentrated on handling the big carp in his hands. From scraping the scales, disemboweling the fish and finally washing and draining it, every step seemed to be done with ease.

Seeing this, Qu Chuxiao couldn't help but joke: "Hey! Look at how focused our Chef Lin is. I'm starting to believe that a miracle will happen."

Wu Jin also chatted, "Hahaha! Don't tell me, I'm really looking forward to the final product now."
