Of course, if someone comes back late, their cooking start time will be later than the others, which naturally puts them at a disadvantage. “Now, let’s officially begin!” As soon as the time came, Michael Greene announced.
At this time, all the contestants were in position.
The staff then led the first lucky audience members who were drawn to enter the stage so they could wander around freely.
The five judges, like the lucky audience members, strolled from one booth to another.
However, the audience was there to see which booth was more appealing to them.
Meanwhile, the judges focused on the contestants’ operations and techniques, among other things.
Cindy Clarke peeled the skin off the chicken legs, sliced it into long strips, deboned the chicken thighs, and cut the whole piece of chicken thigh meat into thin slices.
She then skewered the chicken skin pieces on bamboo sticks and set them aside.
Next, Cindy laid out a layer of perilla leaves on the cutting board and placed the whole chicken thigh meat on top of the leaves.
In the middle of the chicken thigh meat, she sprinkled a layer of finely chopped pickled plums.
Finally, she wrapped the chicken thigh meat with the perilla leaves, rolled it up tightly like sushi, cut it into bite-sized pieces, and skewered them on bamboo sticks.
She removed the stalks of the green peppers, cleaned the seeds and veins, and then filled them with cream cheese mixed with ground beef.
At this point, a smell similar to fried chicken but slightly different suddenly wafted through the air.
An audience member was attracted and walked over, asking, “What are you frying?”
Cindy glanced over and saw that it was Zoe Silverstone’s booth.
Zoe smiled sweetly, saying, “This is chicken thigh meat wrapped around an egg, with bacon wrapped around the leg, and then dipped in egg liquid and breadcrumbs before frying.”
A young man heard this and excitedly said, “Isn’t this the way Sanji in ‘One
Piece’ prepares chicken thighs?”
“Yes,” Zoe nodded, smiling sweetly, “I’m also a fan of ‘One Piece’, so I tried to recreate some of the dishes from the show. I tried this at home and thought it was perfect for today’s topic.”
“I want one!” The young man immediately took out his Food Coupon, not even bothering to check out the other booths.
He was a fan of One Piece, and Zoe was attractive-looking.
Either aspect was enough to draw him in.
As soon as one person came to buy, others curiously followed.
Downstage, in the area where the contestants from Pingla were located. Auditions’ seventh place, Cynthia Florine, snorted, “Duplicitous tactics!”
Not everyone in the audience was a fan of ‘One Piece’, so Zoe’s dish couldn’t solely rely on fans.
Zoe had to rely on her looks and charm now.
“That dish is just for show; it gets greasy after a few bites.” Sixth-place Yannick O’Brian snorted disdainfully.
“It’s not just a gimmick; you see, with the chicken thigh, bacon, and egg combined, it’s like a hammer. After eating a few bites, you get full, and who would want to eat anything else?” Third-place Aiden Huxley said, “It’s fine for the first batch of audience members since they only have one Food Coupon each. But for those in the stands waiting to grab more Food Coupons, if they get multiple and eat hers first, they probably won’t have an appetite for other dishes. Naturally, others will get fewer votes.”
“These underhanded tactics won’t work in the long run,” ninth-place Ava Brown said coldly.
Among the top ten contestants, Jasmine Hudson, Gladys Joy, Cynthia Florine, and Ava Brown were all women..
