Chapter 469: Bravely Facing the Challenge of the Kitchen

Qin Feng, Ye Li, Chu Tian and Zhang Meng seem to have returned to normal life, but they are not completely free from the shadow of adventure. One day, they are awakened by a mysterious letter with a seal of a cute little dragon that looks like it came out of a fantasy world.

"What is this?" Chu Tian asked curiously, holding the letter. "I've never seen an envelope like this before, and it even has a dragon seal on it."

"Let's open it and take a look." Qin Feng said, and he couldn't wait to tear open the envelope.

The letter was written in elegant handwriting: "Dear adventurers, are you eager for a brand new challenge? This challenge is related to the kitchen and is full of unknowns and surprises. Please go to the food competition venue in the city center. We will prepare an unprecedented cooking test for you. Looking forward to your wonderful performance!"

"Kitchen challenge?" Ye Li finished reading the letter, looked up and smiled, "It seems like we are going to become culinary masters this time!"

"Cooking challenge? This is something we have never been involved in before." Zhang Meng said with some uneasiness, "I have to read the instructions even when frying an egg."

"It doesn't matter. A challenge is a challenge." Qin Feng said with a smile, "How do you know if you can do better if you don't try?"

So, they decided to go to the food competition venue and prepare to accept this kitchen challenge. Once they arrived at the venue, they were led to a special area where there were several modern kitchens, each equipped with a variety of cooking equipment and ingredients.

"This is where we'll show off our cooking skills," the staff member said with a smile. "Each group will have one hour to prepare a complete meal, including an appetizer, main course, and dessert. The judges will score based on taste, creativity, and presentation."

"It sounds interesting." Ye Li said, "Let's give it a try."

The four of them were divided into two groups, each responsible for a dish. Qin Feng and Ye Li decided to make a creative appetizer, while Chu Tian and Zhang Meng decided to challenge a main dish. They began to get busy in the kitchen.

Qin Feng and Ye Li studied the recipe while preparing the ingredients. They decided to make an appetizer that combined traditional and modern elements - "Mini Shrimp Pizza".

"This dish looks simple, but we can add some special seasonings and decorations." Ye Li said, "This way we can better show our creativity."

"Okay, let's prepare the shrimp first." Qin Feng began to chop the shrimp, his movements were skillful. "Then, make the crust and sauce."

Meanwhile, Chu Tian and Zhang Meng were busy preparing their main dish - "Flame Steak with Pesto Sauce".

"We have to make sure the steak is cooked just right," Chu Tian said. "The flames have to be stunning and the pesto sauce has to be seasoned just right."

Zhang Meng carefully put the steak on the grill, heating it up while mixing the sauce. As he cooked the sauce, he looked at the flames in the pot and couldn't help but sigh: "The flames in the kitchen are more exciting than our usual adventures."

Time passed by, and the kitchen was filled with the aroma of various delicacies. Everyone was doing their best to maximize their creativity and skills. Finally, an hour passed quietly, and they prepared all the dishes and were ready to submit them to the judges.

The judges were three famous chefs who carefully tasted each dish and took notes while eating. The atmosphere on the scene was tense and full of expectations.

"How are we doing?" Ye Li asked nervously.

"Let's wait for the judges' scores." Qin Feng said with a smile, "No matter what the result is, we have gained a lot from this challenge."

The judges began to announce the results one by one. First, for the appetizer, Qin Feng and Ye Li's mini shrimp pizza won the "Creativity Award". The judges praised their unique creativity and exquisite presentation.

Then, the main course results were announced. Chu Tian and Zhang Meng's Flaming Steak with Pesto Sauce won the "Best Taste Award." The judges praised the perfect cooking of their steak and the unique flavor of the pesto sauce.

"That's great!" Zhang Meng said excitedly, "We actually won two awards!"

"I never thought that our cooking skills would be so impressive." Chu Tian also laughed, "It seems that we can try more cooking challenges in the future."

"Yes, this kitchen challenge is really unforgettable." Ye Li said, "Not only did I learn a lot, but I also gained a lot of confidence."

They left the food competition venue with prizes and a full sense of accomplishment, and returned home, everyone feeling fulfilled and happy.

"What kind of challenge will we face next?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"Who knows." Ye Li smiled, "No matter what the challenge is, we will face it bravely."

"Well said!" Zhang Meng said, "Future adventures will definitely be more exciting!"

They continue to live a life full of surprises and laughter. Every challenge makes them more united and makes their lives more colorful. In the future, they look forward to more adventures and adventures, making every day of their lives full of fun and surprises.
