He's Not a Nobody, He's Da Fei!

This chef is a Special Grade Chef of Shandong Cuisine, and Nine-Turned Intestines is precisely the signature dish of Shandong Cuisine.

To compete with him using this dish was practically a provocation.

Lin Qiqi had only said it as a joke, but she didn't expect this chef to take it seriously, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward.

However, the Director Team loved to see this kind of scene; it was even better if they started fighting!

"Next, we invite our professional Gourmet Judging Panel to taste."

Three people walked out, all familiar faces from food shows.

After greeting everyone, they began tasting one by one.

The first few dishes were home-style cooking. The judges praised them a few times, but they also had their flaws, and the scores weren't high.

When it came to the Special Grade Chef's station, one judge picked up a piece of sea cucumber and said.

"Scallion-Braised Sea Cucumber, one of Shandong Cuisine's signatures. As a Special Grade Chef of Shandong Cuisine, Master Qin will surely bring us a different experience!"

After taking a bite of the Scallion-Braised Sea Cucumber, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Good!"

"Full of scallion fragrance, the sea cucumber is Q-bouncy and chewy, with no fishy smell at all. As expected of a Special Grade Chef!"

All three judges praised it without reservation. Two gave perfect scores, and one gave a nine. This was more than five or six points higher than the previous dishes.

Master Qin smiled slightly, composed and self-assured, as if this result was within his expectations.

One of the judges who gave a nine was simply too strict. In his food shows, a perfect score had never appeared.

The reputation of the Special Grade Chef was, this time, preserved.

The judge who gave a nine walked up to Lin Chudong. Looking at the Nine-Turned Intestines, his mouth twitched, and he said unnaturally.

"Your dish didn't retain the original flavor of the ingredients, did it?"

Years ago, in a show, a contestant had deliberately retained the original flavor of the intestines, and it had given him psychological trauma. He hadn't eaten this dish for many years.

Lin Chudong replied, "Of course not. I cleaned it very thoroughly. Please taste with confidence."

Only then did he nod, pick up a piece of intestine, and put it in his mouth.

Afterward, his expression changed slightly. He picked up another piece and put it in his mouth. Before he could even chew a few times, he picked up another one.

One bite after another, he ate half the plate.

Lin Qiqi quickly said, "Esteemed judge, if you keep eating, there won't be any left to taste!"

The judges quickly stopped their chopsticks and said, "I'm really sorry, but this is the most delicious intestine I've ever eaten, bar none! I almost couldn't control myself!"

"This Nine-Turned Intestines is rich in aroma, melts in your mouth, the outer layer has the taste of sweet and sour soy sauce, the inner layer has the taste of cinnamon and sand ginger, and the innermost layer has the aroma of Shao wine. Besides, there are star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaf for seasoning, which leaves an endless aftertaste and stirs the soul!"

"Truly worthy of the name Nine-Turned Intestines! I give this dish a perfect score of ten!"

"Young man, you're really not a chef?"

Lin Chudong shook his head, "I'm really not. Cooking is just a hobby."

The judge said with emotion, "To reach this level as a hobby is truly rare. Sometimes certificates don't represent ability; true masters are among the common people!"

This statement immediately made the Special Grade Chef's expression turn a little ugly.

The people around also cast strange glances. A Special Grade Chef certificate only represents the level of an examination, not true culinary skill.

You cook for an exam, while others cook to make it delicious. The difference is clear!

The other two judges also praised it highly after tasting. The entire plate of intestines was finished, which was an unprecedented event in the culinary world.

All three judges gave a perfect score of ten.

"A perfect score of thirty points, Lin Qiqi's team wins!"

"Yeah!" Lin Qiqi shouted excitedly, raising both hands high, then turned and hugged Lin Chudong.

With the beauty in his arms, Lin Chudong could feel her slender figure even through her loose tracksuit.

If reality shows were like this, he'd be here all the time!

The director walked out and said, "Qiqi, you are the winning team of this episode. You have a 'grand prize' this time, please draw lots!"

Lin Qiqi stepped forward and took out an envelope.

She opened the envelope and read, "The winning team must have the celebrity and the amateur cooperate to perform a talent!"

Immediately, the whole audience erupted in exclamations and laughter.

The director also showed a triumphant smile, "I'm sorry, our show is like this. Winning is losing, and losing is winning. That's fate!"

"Lin Qiqi's team has ten minutes to prepare a talent as the finale for this episode!"

Lin Qiqi said helplessly with a smile, "We've been tricked by the production team again. We'll go prepare now."

"Brother Lin, what talent should we prepare?"

Lin Chudong said, "I know you play a little guitar. How about we sing a song?"

Lin Qiqi said with some surprise, "How did you know I play the guitar?"

"I'm your fan, I've watched your TV series." Lin Chudong didn't even blush as he lied; in reality, he had just secretly looked her up on Baidu.

"Mm, I know a little, not much. What song should we sing?"

"I'll teach you a song, you'll learn it in ten minutes."

"My guitar skills are really bad, I only know the basics."

"It's okay, it's enough!"

The conversation between the two, as well as the rehearsal process, was all recorded by the cameras.

Ten minutes later, Lin Qiqi and Lin Chudong were surrounded by everyone. Lin Qiqi was sitting, and Lin Chudong stood beside her.

"We can start!"

Lin Qiqi held the borrowed guitar, exuding a youthful charm. She truly lived up to her reputation as the visual ace of the show, breathtakingly beautiful.

Lin Chudong stood beside her like a flower protector, and they looked very harmonious.

"The thing that made me shed tears was not just last night's wine..."

Lin Qiqi sang the first verse, all the way to the end of the pre-chorus.

Lin Qiqi had good vocal conditions. She couldn't compare to a professional singer, but among ordinary people, she sang well.

The crowd immediately exclaimed, "Qiqi has this talent too? Singing and playing guitar herself, that's amazing!"

"It seems like that amateur taught her just now. She learned that fast?"

"Is it that simple? This song seems to have only simple chords. I know guitar too, I'll practice it when I get home!"

"Have you guys heard of this song?"

"No, I haven't. I'll search for it online later."

The pre-chorus ended, and the chorus began. Lin Chudong's slightly husky voice emerged.

"Walk with me on the streets of Chengdu, ooh-ooh~, until all the lights go out, without stopping..."

Instantly, the entire audience exclaimed again!

The gap between a professional and an amateur was like the difference between heaven and earth.

With Lin Qiqi's setup, Lin Chudong's voice was like a stroke of genius, a heavenly sound!

His deep voice, which seemed to have a built-in reverb, made everyone's eyes widen.

"It sounds so good! Is she a professional singer?"

"Even professional singers can't compare, he's just using a regular microphone!"

"And the rhythm is great. Lin Qiqi missed a few notes while playing, but he managed to pick it up and handle it so naturally. He's definitely a professional."

Just then, a director from the Director Team quickly ran over and whispered a few words into the chief director's ear.

When the song ended, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Lin Chudong's performance was astonishing.

After the two bowed in thanks, the chief director suddenly said, "Wait!"

"Qiqi, you cheated. He's not an amateur. He's the lead singer of the Da Fei Band, Da Fei!"
