Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 205 Seven-colored Dumplings
Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Seven-colored Dumplings
While Tuantuan continued to make the third and fourth varieties of dumplings, several Spirit Chefs had already completed their dishes.
Saltwater duck, Four-joy meatballs, Donkey meat burgers...
The aroma of various foods spread through the air, whetting everyone’s appetite.
The food appraisal device and judges began scoring.
The competitors capable of advancing to the finals were all quite talented, and since most Spirit Chefs chose to cook the original food of their Food Spirits, the quality of these dishes was generally above the Rare level.
When there was no significant gap in quality scores, the judges’ scores became especially crucial.
An hour into the competition, Tuantuan had already completed five different types of Spirit Fruit Dumplings.
Except for the Feiyang Embroidery Ball Fruit dumpling that reached Epic level, the quality of the others was either Rare 8th-tier or 9th-tier.
It was mainly the level of ingredients that limited the upper limit of the food’s quality.
Only the Feiyang Embroidery Ball Fruit was of the Rare level, the rest were of the Uncommon level.
At this moment, Liu Yang, ranked first on the Little Food God list, and his Food Spirit also completed a Fish and Shrimp Stew, which the staff placed into the silvery gray food appraisal device.
Soon, information about the Fish and Shrimp Stew popped up on the screen of the device—
[Food Name: Fish and Shrimp Stew]
[Ingredients Used: Rare Second-stage Golden Scale Dragon Fish, Rare Ninth-tier Green Spirit Shrimp, Rare Eighth-tier Endless Sea Peony Fish]
[Effect: Ability to breathe underwater for 1 week, and significantly increased movement speed in water]
[Level: Rare 9th-tier]
[Score: 380]
"Rare ninth-tier, meow! The highest quality cuisine has appeared now, meow."
"As expected from a seeded contestant! Using such simple ingredients to create such high-quality food."
The two hosts narrated passionately.
"Now please, judges, start the tasting and commentary, meow!"
A large pan of Fish and Shrimp Stew was divided into small bowls and promptly served before the judges.
"The handling of the ingredients is excellent, with no hint of fishiness. I give it a 9!"
"The fish is tender and juicy, and the shrimp is smooth and delicious. I can give it 9.5 points."
...
Spirit Master judges generally gave good scores.
However, the scores from Food Spirit judges were mixed. A fat-headed Fish Spirit gave 10 points, while a Vegetable Dog Spirit gave 0 points.
Purely vegetable-based Food Spirits couldn’t appreciate seafood.
Liu Yang was not surprised by this.
Contestants advancing to the finals generally ignored the rule of "pleasing everyone" and chose to make their originating food, ensuring at least a high quality score.
As for the Food Spirit judges, just let it go!
In the end, Liu Yang’s total score from the judges was 142, with an additional 380 from the quality score, making a grand total of 522.
Liu Yang had a radiant smile on his face.
This time, he and his Food Spirit had performed exceptionally well.
Though the ingredients were simple, under the effect of numerous food-related techniques, he created a dish superior to the level of its ingredients.
"Liu Yang! Liu Yang!"
"Little Food God!"
...
Hearing the cheers of the audience around him, he couldn’t help feeling a bit smug.
With this score, the championship should be secure!
The advantage is mine!
---------------
The surrounding cheers and the sounds of other Spirit Chefs cooking did not disturb the Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit.
The little guy was still calmly making the last two Spirit Fruit Dumplings, completely unaffected by the external environment.
Actually, when Tuantuan created the Epic Feiyang Embroidery Ball Fruit glutinous rice dumpling, he could have chosen to submit the dish.
Epic-quality food could easily secure the championship just by its quality score!
But Tuantuan still wanted to perfect it as much as possible.
At the moment, it had already completed 5 types of Spirit Fruit Dumplings, with two more delicious Spirit Fruits remaining.
Besides making the Tri-color Dumplings more visually appealing, it would also enrich their flavor.
"Currently, there are 10 dishes of Rare level 7 or above. Chen Mo’s Tri-color Dumplings must at least reach Rare level 6 to stand a chance! What do you think? Still want to bet?"
At the judge’s bench, Li Sisi smiled and asked Chen Meng.
"Bet."
Chen Meng nodded calmly, though she couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious inside.
For a Transcendent Rank Food Spirit to create Rare quality cuisine was already difficult, let alone achieving above Rare level 6.
Tao Ming, standing nearby, had a strange expression on his face.
Goodness, so you guys don’t know Chen Mo’s strength either.
This will be easy then.
"Cough cough, Master Meng. I suddenly feel the previous bet is too unfavorable for you, perhaps we should cancel it!"
Tao Ming cleared his throat and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Meng’s eyes lit up.
As a master-level Spirit Chef, Tao Ming surely had deeper insights into cuisine. Suggesting to annul the bet suddenly must mean he discovered something!
"Master Tao, you aren’t thinking of backing out, are you?"
Chen Meng asked with a smile.
"Not at all. Since you want to bet, let’s continue the bet!"
Seeing that Chen Meng didn’t fall for it, Tao Ming shifted his target towards Li Sisi next to him, lowering his voice and quietly said:
"Master Li, how about we make it a bigger bet. I bet Chen Mo will be the champion, wagering an Epic Level ingredient, dare you?"
This was called cutting losses in time.
"Why not."
Li Sisi agreed subconsciously, then suddenly realized something was amiss. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"You’re betting on Chen Mo as champion, are you crazy!? Wait, did you discover something?"
Tao Ming’s move instantly made Li Sisi lose confidence.
She then suddenly remembered the brief flash of golden light she had seen before.
No way! Could it really be an Epic Level cuisine!?

After wrapping the last two Green Snake Fruit Dumplings and Drunken Golden Fragrance Grape Dumplings with a special cream topping.
Tri-color Dumplings... more precisely, they should be called Rainbow Dumplings, were now complete!
"Ying!"
Tuantuan excitedly linked together the seven differently colored dumplings - pink, gold, white, cyan, blue, green, and purple.
"Our star contestant Tuantuan has also completed its creation - Rainbow Dumplings meow! It looks very delicate and cute, but what level of cuisine is it exactly?"
Neon Cat commented.
Right when Tuantuan finished the Rainbow Dumplings, the main camera switched to them.
And as the Rainbow Dumplings were slowly placed into the food appraisal device, everyone’s gaze focused on it.
The giant screen quickly displayed the relevant information—
[Food Name: Rainbow Dumplings]
[Ingredients Used: Rare Second-stage Feiyang Embroidery Ball Fruit, Rare Ninth-Order Golden Ball Fruit, Rare Eighth-tier Green Spirit Fruit...]

"I told you that golden light was real!?"
"It’s even a rare cuisine that can permanently enhance the qualities of a Spiritual Beast!"
