Chapter 450: Shengzai has terrifying connections?

Shumai is also a famous Chinese snack, and the "Three-Egg Shumai" Shengzai made used egg and flour for the skin, while the filling inside was crab egg, also known as crab roe.

Furthermore, the granules on top of the shumai, which looked like black gems, were century eggs made from duck eggs, also known as Songhua eggs.

Shumai made with chicken eggs, duck eggs, and crab eggs is what is called "Three-Egg Shumai."

Compared to others who used a large amount of auxiliary materials, Shengzai's dish, except for a small amount of flour, was almost entirely made of eggs.

Moreover, it wasn't difficult to make two hundred portions of shumai, but the results achieved so far weren't as ideal as Shengzai had previously imagined.

Seeing Erina, who was flustered not far away, smile triumphantly at him, Shengzai couldn't help but show a bitter smile.

Shengzai was confident that the taste of his "Three-Egg Shumai" would not lose to Erina's "Eggs Benedict." Every guest who left his station praised it, which was enough to prove this point.

But the point was that although the "Three-Egg Shumai" had enough taste and novelty, it couldn't compare to Erina's gem-like "Eggs Benedict" in terms of presentation.

Of course, although Shengzai's current results couldn't compare to Erina's, they were still among the best among the many Totsuki students.

At least compared to Yukihira Soma, who had only sold ten portions after an hour, he could be considered to have excellent results.

"That guy Erina is quite capable. Even though she's a young lady, she cleverly grasped the psychological activities of the buffet crowd and turned them into her own advantage.

If I had known this, I should have made 'Ascending Dragon Dumplings' or used my knife skills to make a dish with a more shocking appearance."

But it was too late; Shengzai couldn't change his assessment dish halfway through.

Losing is losing; Shengzai isn't someone who can't afford to lose. Although he didn't think his "Three-Egg Shumai" would lose to Erina's "Eggs Benedict," creating an advantage for oneself through the presentation of the dish itself is also part of one's strength.

As word of mouth continued to spread, Shengzai believed that his "Three-Egg Shumai" catching up to Erina's "Eggs Benedict" was just a matter of time.

But unfortunately, by the time his reputation fully spread, the assessment would probably be over, as the assessment time was only two hours.

Yukihira Soma's side seemed to have changed his slump through showing off his skills and had begun to attract more guests.

Originally, Shengzai could have done better than Yukihira Soma by using such methods, but in the end, he chose not to.

After all, he had already met the 200-portion requirement for the assessment; he was just losing to Erina for the moment. If he used this method to snatch guests from Yukihira Soma, the two of them would really become clowns.

"Big Brother Shengzai, I thought I was seeing things just now. I didn't expect it to really be you!

Big Brother Shengzai, are you also a student at Totsuki Academy? But aren't you a Gourmet Hunter? Why..."

Shengzai, who had intended to slack off until the assessment time was over, suddenly heard an exclamation in his ear.

When he heard this slightly familiar voice, he turned his head and found a young man in a suit and tie looking at him with a surprised expression.

"Although I don't know why the hell you are here, I don't want too many people to know that I am a Gourmet Hunter."

Ma Like, whose mouth was covered by Shengzai, nodded repeatedly after hearing Shengzai's words, indicating he understood.

Later, when Shengzai let him go, the look Ma Like gave him was full of disbelief.

Previously, Ma Like had always thought that a powerhouse like Shengzai was a professional Gourmet Hunter.

But what he never expected was that the big shot he admired was not only an extraordinary Gourmet Hunter but also a student at Totsuki.

"Is this a dish you made, Big Brother Shengzai? Can I try it?"

As a well-known big shot in the Japanese culinary world, the Ma Like family's group had many collaborations with Totsuki, so many employees of the group, including Ma Like, the eldest young master of the Ma Like family, were among the invited guests.

"Big Brother Shengzai, this dish of yours is amazing! This feeling of exploding in the mouth is definitely the best shumai I have ever eaten!

I didn't expect that besides being so strong, Big Brother Shengzai, your culinary skills are also so amazing. I really admire you more and more."

Ma Like hadn't held high expectations for Shengzai's "Three-Egg Shumai" and wanted to try it purely to give the big shot some face.

But unexpectedly, as soon as the "Three-Egg Shumai" entered his mouth, Ma Like found that the shumai Shengzai made was surprisingly delicious.

He had eaten many people's dishes at the venue before, including the "Eggs Benedict" from "God's Tongue."

But Ma Like could say for sure that even Erina's "Eggs Benedict" was slightly inferior to Shengzai's in terms of taste.

Ma Like was the eldest young master of the Ma Like family. Although his personality was a bit silly, it had to be said that he was a big shot in the culinary circle, and many people at the venue recognized him.

Seeing the exaggerated expression on his face and the way he kept calling the younger Shengzai "Big Brother" despite being older, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Mr. Shengzai, I didn't expect you to be a student at Totsuki. It's really a pleasure to see you here."

Because of Ma Like's abnormal behavior, many people were curious about who Shengzai was to make the eldest young master of the Ma Like family so flattering.

But what they didn't expect was that another figure who came out to greet Shengzai in the crowd made many culinary celebrities at the venue dumbfounded.

The president of the Gourmet Chamber of Commerce, Yue Jian Guang!

If Ma Like, the eldest young master of the Ma Like family, could be considered a well-known figure in the culinary circle, then Yue Jian Guang of the Gourmet Chamber of Commerce was a true big shot!

Although the scale of the Gourmet Chamber of Commerce in the human world couldn't compare to the one in the Gourmet World, for most people in the culinary industry in the human world, it was already an existence they needed to curry favor with.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you don't have a certain status and position in the culinary world, you aren't even qualified to know a big shot like Yue Jian Guang.

But at this moment, Yue Jian Guang, whom many culinary big shots at the venue had to curry favor with, walked to his cooking station with an excited face when he saw Shengzai in the venue.

And looking at the excited and flattering look on his face, it was exactly like himself who had just tried hard to talk to the other party.

"What's going on? If it were just the eldest young master of the Ma Like family, that would be fine, but why is even President Yue Jian Guang of the Gourmet Chamber of Commerce so polite to that boy? Who on earth is he?"
