At night, the chefs who entered the second round also boarded the Mach plane to look for ingredients for tomorrow's "land" theme.
"Really, did you fail?"
Blanche, who had a long nose like Pinocchio, fell on the sofa with her hands spread out, looking a little frustrated.
"Mr. Blanche, what are you talking about! This time your Yamatagi octopus balls came in seventh place!"
The female commentator with slender legs asked in surprise.
"Not getting first place is a failure! That's what chefs are like." Blanche said calmly, leaving aside the commentator.
"But this time I will definitely win! Because I have thought of the most perfect ingredients!"
Before the commentator could react, Blanche turned over and looked very excited.
"So can you explain to our viewers the ingredients to look for, Mr. Branch?"
The commentator asked politely.
"Daolu, the word that best fits this word is elephant! As the largest creature on land." Blanche looked confident, "Where we are going, there is an elephant with the same name as the legal mammoth. kind!"
"Could it be..."
The commentator seemed to have thought of something, his face full of disbelief.
"That's right! That's it!"
With a mysterious smile on her face, Blanche walked towards the circular window on the plane and looked at the scenery outside that looked like a stream of light.
------
"So sleepy! π_π"
Xiaomei rubbed her eyes. It was already 11 o'clock at night. Although there was still a chef hunting on the TV, most of the chefs were still on the plane at this time, which was really boring.
"Go to sleep, go to sleep, there will be more tomorrow!"
Zheng Yuan picked up Xiaomei, took her back to the room upstairs, and covered her with a quilt.
"Good night!"
With a gentle smile, Zheng Yuan turned off the light.
"......Good night."
Xiaomei's vague murmur came from the dark room.
"Xiaomei is asleep?"
Melk asked as he carefully poured wine from the huge wooden barrel on the table into a wine glass only the size of his index finger.
"Xiaomei was so excited today that she fell asleep very quickly!"
Walking to sit next to Melk, Zheng Yuan looked at the flashing screen and said.
"Yeah, do you want a drink?"
Raising the small wine glass in his hand, Melk gestured to Zheng Yuan.
"???"
Zheng Yuan's face was full of disbelief. Although he drank a lot for social events in his previous life, his body in this life is only less than 10 years old! Uncle Melk, are you actually such a person?
"The alcohol content is less than 0.5%, just fruit wine!"
As if he saw what Zheng Yuan was thinking, Melk smiled and explained.
"How about a little bit...?"
Zheng Yuan hesitated, but still agreed.
Taking out an unused small wine glass, Melk raised the brown wooden barrel that was half as big as Zheng Yuan. A rainbow-like water line entered the wine glass, and there was a trickling sound of water.
"It's made with frightened apples, drunken grapes and air water with a little kumquat and lemon. It's very sweet, but it's still a little spicy after all. Xiaomei will definitely be clamoring for it if she sees you drinking it!"
Passing the full wine glass to Zheng Yuan, Melk babbled.
"It doesn't have much fragrance!"
Zheng Yuan raised the glass and smelled it carefully. It had no smell and was transparent in appearance. It really looked like water.
After drinking it all, the air-like fruit wine entered Zheng Yuan's mouth before he could react, and then a rich aroma burst into his mouth, with the unique sweetness and sourness of grapes, and then the sweetness of sugar cane, unique to apples. The sweetness with a little sourness, and finally a little lemon fragrance with the taste of wine occupy the mouth, and the aftertaste is long.
“It tastes so good!”
Close your eyes and savor it carefully, your hair is flying behind you, your clothes become tight under the bulging of your muscles, and your cells are evolving!
"Have you evolved again? Xiaomu, your cells are very strange!"
Melk looked at Zheng Yuan who was motionless due to cell evolution, worry flashed in his eyes.

"Sure enough, it has absorbed the essence of the earth, grown on the soil, and is the main food for people - rice! It is more in line with the word "land"!"
With a kind smile, Setsuno held up a bouquet of bliss rice ears to the camera that shined extremely brightly even at night.
...
"The mud boar is a strange pig whose appearance is covered with mud all year round. It only eats sunshine truffles, a treasure of the earth. As a result, the meat is full of the aroma of truffles. It requires special treatment to remove the earthy smell in the meat and turn it into The scent of the earth!”
Standing next to a wild boar that looked like a hill, covered with dry black soil, and with giant tusks like a battering ram, Zeus said calmly.
...
"Although there are some medicinal foods that are suitable for this competition, this is the one that suits me best!"
Holding the back of the neck of a round and fierce rodent, Yoda touched his chin and spoke slowly.
...
Standing on the red ground, Blanche gasped and took off the red battery from his neck, and several arcs flashed past.
"Mr. Blanche, even if he is a food hunter, it is still the most advanced operation!"
He resisted the camera with one hand, grabbed the helicopter escalator with the other hand, and wrapped his long legs around the ladder. The narrator looked shocked.
From the camera's perspective, Blanche stood on top of a giant red elephant hundreds of meters high, looking like a god.
------
The next day, 5:30 pm.
Blanche commanded the crane to place a large piece of ruby-like meat on the competition stage with high spirits. Zeus pulled the mud boar that had washed away its mud shell with one hand onto the ring.
Setsuno's mother-in-law slowly walked onto the ring. The commentator behind her was sweating profusely and holding a human-height incubator. Yoda carried a cage containing an animal to his position as usual...
At 6 o'clock, there were 50 people competing in the competition, and there were actually 50 people. In order to compete for the last 25 places, all the chefs were full of fighting spirit!
Although the number of people was only half of yesterday's, the excitement in the competition field was even greater than before!
"The most delicious trunk of the gem mammoth, after my electric shock and a day of precipitation, I am undoubtedly the number one in terms of ingredients!"
Blanche held a long-edged sword and showed a confident smile.
"The soup made from bamboo fungus, Hericium spp., is undoubtedly the best!"
After pinching the cowarded rodent, Yoda picked up the short-handled kitchen knife with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Bliss rice, in terms of quality, my mud wild boar is higher, Setsuno!" Zeus sneered.
"Xiao Zewu is really eager to win!"
Setsuno gently patted the bliss rice with the shell still in it, and the yellow chaff fell away little by little, revealing the true face of the crystal rice.
"It's really scary!"
The chefs on the periphery looked at the black low pressure of the four people in the middle that seemed to have condensed into substance, with black lines all over their heads.
------
When Setsuno walked up to the judging panel holding a steaming casserole, the entire venue was filled with the sound of stomach growling!
The extremely rich rice aroma inspires people's purest sense of hunger. The smell of sausage with the aroma of wine is like a peerless beauty holding gauze to tickle you, making you restless. There is also the hint of burnt aroma, just smelling it. The taste is unbearable.
"Chinese claypot rice? It's so beautiful!"
The first man named Kidd looked at the casserole with the lid opened in a daze.
Top-grade sausages with oily red and white colors, a few green green rapeseeds, a few chopped green onions sprinkled on top of the sliced mushrooms make it more attractive, a half-boiled egg intertwined with black soy sauce, and a few drops of sesame oil make the whole dish Looks more perfect!
...
"Braised pork? It's really attractive!"
The perfect pork belly is smoked with sugar color and the whole body glows with an attractive red color. The whole body is tied with tendons to prevent it from falling apart. The crumbling pork skin is dotted with a little green scallion.
...
"The trunk of a ruby mammoth? That's a huge monster with capture level 54! And this dish is so beautiful!"
Several thumb-sized pieces of elephant trunk meat are piled on the plate. The transparent red meat is like ruby. The outer layer is drizzled with a sauce of the same color. Even though it is simply placed on the plate, people can't take their eyes away!
...
"This soup? It looks a little different!"
Compared with the previous three dishes, this nourishing fresh mushroom soup is really inconspicuous. The dark brown soup base is very clear, and you can directly see the bottom of the bowl, with a few oily flowers floating on it, Hericium erinaceus, bamboo fungus, Mushrooms and other fungi are floating in it, and a rib is placed across the center of the bowl. Although it looks beautiful, it has no impact!
But when Gide put the spoon into the soup, the unique umami flavor of the fungi burst out! It's like a bomb against the aroma of the red ruby mammoth trunk of the claypot rice braised pork!
...
There was a long silence on the judging panel. When the deliciousness reaches a certain limit, even taste masters like them have a hard time making a choice!
"Lu theme! The winner is——"
