Chapter 957: Cooking Skills Improve

That was personally selected by Teacher San Lei—it must be excellent!

My anticipation is at its peak!

Meanwhile, some impatient ones had already begun preparing dinner, fearing their clumsiness might leave them unable to finish before mealtime.

How's it going?

Lin Yi now moved among the contestants, offering words of encouragement.

Everyone present stared, wide-eyed, at the items laid out before them.

"We've never even touched kitchen utensils before—suddenly having to stir-fry, we don't even know where to start."

As expected, everyone present was essentially in this state.

The only one who remained calm and composed was Teacher San Lei.

At this moment, everyone turned to look at Ning Chen, curious about what he would do.

But Ning Chen still hadn't moved.

Perhaps he felt there was still plenty of time, so there was no need to rush into it.

Lin Yi now moved around each person.

He also took note of all the dishes to be prepared today.

How do you feel?

After asking everyone present, the rest all nodded.

It was now approaching three in the afternoon.

Pengpeng had already begun chopping vegetables for his tomato and egg dish ahead of schedule.

The next moment came a sharp hiss.

Flames instantly shot up around him.

Pengpeng let out a startled cry and hastily covered the pot with its lid.

"Oh my god, I almost ended my career! Why did it spit fire like that?"

Ning Chen glanced over in that direction, then observed closely.

"If there's oil at the bottom of the pot, don't let too much water drip in—otherwise, what just happened will occur. You must be careful."

Ning Chen's words greatly benefited Pengpeng.

But by the time he realized it, the tomatoes in the pot had already begun to emit a faint burnt smell.

"Oh no… my tomatoes…"

He rushed over and lifted the lid—inside, the tomatoes had turned to mush.

The first dish ended in failure.

The others also began bustling about.

After all, they weren't as skilled as Teacher San Lei, so it was better to start early and finish sooner.
