More than 2 hours have passed since the game started.
What was placed in front of examiner Matthew was a freshly finished grilled chicken leg with honey sauce.
The chicken legs cut into thin pieces are served on a huge blade. The chicken is drizzled with a dark red sweet blood sauce. The chicken skin is perfectly crispy and the chicken inside is extremely tender.
Matthew nodded as he smelled the aroma of roasted chicken legs, then forked a piece of chicken leg covered in sauce and put it in his mouth to savor it.
It took him ten seconds to swallow the food in his mouth, and his eyes narrowed slightly with a smile: "Both the selection of ingredients and the roasting temperature are excellent, and the sauce made with sweet blood is even more outstanding!"
Don Turn breathed a sigh of relief. He was still worried that the cooking skills inherited from his grandmother would not be recognized by the big shots in the culinary world. It seemed that he was worrying too much.
Matthew tasted the roasted chicken legs served by Tezzolo, Mozart and Jerry respectively, and nodded to Don Turn: "They are all the masterpieces of this contestant, so the score will be set at 91 points."
Next up is the grilled fish dish that Jerry made for Rick and Bass.
"There is no fishy smell and the meat is of excellent quality. It is undoubtedly the Southern Cross wolf fish." Matthew closed his eyes and tasted the dish: "The unique use of special fallen leaves as auxiliary materials further enhances the deliciousness of the fish... The grilling temperature
It’s just right.”
Matthew smiled and said: "No problem, these two grilled fish dishes also score 91 points. Congratulations everyone, you can enter the third round of the competition."
Everyone was overjoyed. After cheering for a while, they sat down directly on the beach and happily shared their portions of the competition food. Anyway, the examiner only tasted a small piece, and the rest was at their own expense.
"Oh my gosh...this grilled chicken drumstick is so delicious!"
Picking up a piece of chicken leg meat and putting it in his mouth, Mozart's eyes almost popped out: "My good brother Dont, you will definitely need a partner to help you taste it when you make new dishes in the future! Don't hesitate, just choose
Me!"
Tezzolo raised his head and closed his eyes to savor the delicious food.
Rick tasted the grilled fish and immediately patted Jerry on the shoulder and said, "Jerry, I may have to move here to live with you and Bess for a while, and I will pay for the food!"
"I usually don't cook at home." Jerry looked at Rick with drooping eyes.
While everyone was chatting, people started making fires and cooking on the beach one after another. Since they were a temporary team before, there were few food hunters like Don Turn and Jerry who were willing to help other contestants in the temporary team.
.
And there are very few people who are willing to put in as much effort into pursuing the best ingredients as Tezzolo and others do. Even if they cook the food, it will be difficult to satisfy Matthew's taste.
“No sweetness, and the chicken was burnt...not up to standard!”
"The chicken is still raw, and the hair has not faded! It's not up to standard!"
"Are you fooling me with the salted fish sold in the store? It's not up to standard!"
"What I want is grilled fish, not fish soup! Moreover, the fish scales are not shaved off and the gallbladder is broken, so it is unqualified!"
…………
There are people who are constantly being kicked off. After seeing the strength of Quasimodo the "Scorching Current", the contestants did not dare to make mistakes against Matthew, fearing that this man would be more ruthless.
Soon, it was the turn of the 'Pirate Prince' Cavendish to appear in front of Matthew, holding a silver dinner plate and humming a song. He didn't know where he got these silver tableware.
"Please try our super star's super star dish - [Glitter Rose Luxurious Chicken Legs]!"
Matthew glanced at the roasted chicken leg covered with rose petals, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, but as an examiner, he still dutifully forked a small piece of chicken leg and ate it with the rose petals.
"Rose petals are indeed quite innovative..." Matthew chewed a few mouthfuls and tilted his head: "It has an unexpected sweetness. This is the [Clang Rose] that is a specialty of the Kingdom of Brujoa on the Grand Route.
?A very rare edible rose... Well, the chicken was roasted quite well, so I’ll give it 74 points.”
Cavendish flipped his long blond curly hair coolly: "What a tasteful examiner... I like it! Do you want my autograph?"
"Uh... No, thank you." Matthew smiled awkwardly, hinting to Cavendish to get out of the way.
About half an hour later, there was a sudden commotion in the jungle not far from the beach, and birds started to fly.
Immediately afterwards, a strange black mist began to fill that direction, as if a monster was taking shape.
"...Is it 'Spider' Spade?" Tezzolo and others looked at each other. Only Spider Spade could create such a strange black mist.
Before the black mist could form, a powerful slash that distorted the space suddenly appeared between the sky and the earth.
Immediately afterwards, the giant trees along the coast were broken down one after another, and the humanoid Spider Spider rushed to the beach with blood dripping from the corners of his eyes. He laughed strangely: "Bah, bah... why are you so angry? You are just looking for children.
Just borrow something~"
"Stay away from these siblings, 'Spider' Spade!"
The wooden stick hit the ground, and the 'Blind Hero' slowly walked out from the direction of the broken giant tree in a mess, with a serious face: "Don't do bad things."
The brother and sister who had previously teamed up with the 'Blind Man' Yisheng followed behind Yisheng cautiously, holding three portions of steaming grilled chicken legs in their hands.
'Spider' Spade licked the corner of his mouth, with a sinister look in his eyes: "It's just a 'borrow' of food. Don't be so stingy, brother. Or... lend me this little sister who is good at cooking."
ah!"
As soon as he finished speaking, four slender jointed limbs covered with dense bristles suddenly shot out from under the brown windbreaker behind him, stabbing at the little girl behind the 'Blind Hero' from all angles!
"Stubborn..."
The ‘Blind Hero’ closed his eyes and bowed slightly, holding the wooden stick in both hands upside down in front of his slightly lowered forehead. With a soft click, the wooden stick parted to reveal the purple light of the sword:
"[Queen's Brigade]"
The ever-expanding purple gravity waves on the blade of the staff sword firmly resisted the four stabbed limbs. Even if the veins on Spider's forehead popped out and he twisted his whole body, he could not make the limbs go any further.
Not only that, as the purple gravity ripples spread, the surrounding ancient giant trees began to twist and crack.
Centered around the life of the 'Blind Man', purple gravity ripples firmly protected him and his brother and sister. Not far above their heads, dozens of invisible spider threads broke apart. Obviously, the gravity ripples also protected the 'Spider'
'The invisible spider silk secretly released by Spade 'keeps out the door'.
"Bah, bah, bah... what a [monster]!" Although 'Spider' Spade's face was full of ridicule, a trace of cold sweat left uncontrollably on his forehead: "It is several times stronger than four years ago!"
Matthew, who was standing not far away, was a little hesitant to intervene in this matter. After all, the hunter exam four years ago was almost messed up by these two guys. The examiner at the time had no way to deal with them, so the boss personally suppressed them.
Both of them.
He had a way to deal with them, but once the restrictions on the fungus fruit were lifted, the damage range would be too wide. Matthew was afraid that before he could deal with these two people, the rest of the candidates present would go to see the Buddha first.
Just as Matthew was thinking about it, he suddenly found that Cavendish beside him had disappeared.
