On Ma Tianyao's chopping board, the tofu has been completely deformed. How can I describe it? It may not be appropriate to use the word paralysis, but her tofu is indeed paralyzed...

The square tofu has now turned into a crooked shape. Despite this, Ma Tianyao was still cutting it quickly with a knife, but at this moment, her knife no longer touched the chopping board, so there was no sound of dingdongdong.

Huang Hao originally wanted to ask Liu Jinlai what was going on, but when he saw Liu Jinlai, he frowned, and it was obvious that he was also confused.

bite!

With a crisp sound, the staff saw that the time was up, but the three of them were still in a daze and couldn't help but get anxious.

"call!"

Ma Tianyao's knife stopped at this moment and let out a long sigh. Only then did the three judges react.

"Uh... it seems time has come?"

Seeing the three of them dazed, Ma Tianyao reminded her in embarrassment, and the three of them came to their senses.

"Oh...uh...yes, it's time, everyone should stop!"

Liu Jinlai smiled awkwardly and looked around, and all the chefs lamented.

"I haven't finished carving yet..."

"Me too……"

...

Liu Jinlai returned to the stage, looked around with a smile, and then spoke loudly.

"If you haven't finished carving, raise your hand!"

Swish swish swish swish...

Five or six chefs raised their hands tragically, and Ma Tianyao looked at these people and couldn't help laughing.

Two of these chefs have not finished carvings, but at the beginning, only a complete pattern was carved on the tofu.

Needless to say, these six people were naturally eliminated. Seeing this scene, the other chefs secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the remaining fourteen people were under much pressure.

At this moment, I was just in line with the sentence, how awesome I am, it depends on how my colleagues set off...

"Okay, now we start to check your works one by one!"

Liu Jinlai smiled and gestured at Huang Hao and the others, then took the lead in walking off the stage and came to the first chef who participated in the competition.

The chef carved a peony, but obviously, because the tofu was too soft, the flowers carved were dying, so Liu Jinlai smiled and joked.

"You peony seems to be almost out of reach..."

The people below burst into laughter, and the chef smiled embarrassedly, but soon all the chefs of the competition closed their mouths awkwardly because most of them were in similar situations.

"Okay, no matter what, although it looks a little ugly, the pattern is quite complete and rare. Then, let's calculate the tofu you were wasted."

Ma Tianyao was also a little confused about the calculation mentioned here. When she looked up, she couldn't help but be stunned.

In Liu Jinlai's hand, he actually took a fine weighing plate. Then he put all the tofu scraps that the chef had hollowed out when he was carving on the weighing plate, and reported the numbers with a smile.

"98 grams, you almost wasted a quarter! This number seems to be a bit too many, haha, but as for whether you can enter the top ten, you have to rely on the people behind. Let's take a look at the next one!"

This time, Ma Tianyao probably made an intuitive judgment on this competition and understood the difficulty. Those that were not carved will naturally be eliminated. Those that were carved will also have to compete with the weight of the remaining scraps during carving.

Obviously, the first person hollowed out 98 grams of tofu, which made Liu Jinlai not satisfied, but the second person was not much better, 99 grams, a little more than the first person.

"The third place, waste 85 grams!"

...

"The eighth place, the waste number is 72!"

...

Soon, the three judges arrived at Ma Tianyao, and everyone's eyes were staring at this side. Zheng Guangming was already completely disappointed at this time. He was closest to Ma Tianyao. Looking at the paralyzed tofu, it felt dark, and all the chefs also showed ridicule and sarcasm on their faces.

Even the three judges shook their heads and sighed, thinking that this girl is still too young...

On Ma Tianyao's chopping board, the tofu pieces had been ravaged into mud, lying on the chopping board, just like the jelly was raked by a fence after being thrown flat.

Looking at this work, Liu Jinlai obviously didn't know how to evaluate it. He thought to himself, Ma Tianyao, I asked you to make flower tofu, but I didn't let you make tofu flower...

Shaking his head, he barely squeezed out a smile and said.

"Uh...Ma Tianyao, the flower you carved...is still quite unique, haha..."

Liu Jinlai had a good impression of Ma Tianyao, so he spoke gently. If it were someone else, he would have been kicked off the stage long ago.

The other chefs watching laughed, and even Huang Hao and Xu Guanghua couldn't help but smile, for nothing else, because this thing was not only not a waste, but also wasted too much, so I'm afraid that it would be wasted. According to Liu Jin's request, she should have been eliminated first.

If you want to weigh it, it is absolutely true that Ma Tianyao scores 0 points.

Liu Jinlai smiled and shook his head, just as he was about to encourage him again. After all, she was still young and had time to study. He was still very sure of Ma Tianyao's talent.

But just as he was about to speak, Ma Tianyao pinched her chin and asked.

"Single? I don't think this flower is strange? Isn't it just a white chrysanthemum? What's so strange?"

Liu Jinlai was about to be angry and laughed.

"You said this is a white chrysanthemum? Ma Tianyao, are you kidding? Right?"

Ma Tianyao shook her head seriously.

"I'm not kidding. This is really a white chrysanthemum. If you don't believe it, look..."

Let’s talk about it, Ma Tianyao gently pinched the edge of the ‘paralyzed tofu’ with two fingers, and miraculously lifted the string of tofu, then clamped it with the back of the knife and gently put it into the transparent water basin next to it.

Then he pointed with his finger and flipped over the "paralyzed tofu" he threw in. In an instant, everyone let out a wow.

The soft tofu before was now like a dried chrysanthemum soaked in a boiling water bottle, squirming and expanding rapidly.

The tofu silk that looked like tentacles danced freely, as if it had spread its minions in the water, revealing its true colors. For a moment, the tofu miraculously opened tens of thousands of thin silks, dancing in the water, just like a paralyzed patient suddenly got out of bed and danced gracefully, extremely magical!

There is actually a white bud wrapped in these thin filaments. After it is fully unfolded, the petals and buds are clearly visible, like miracles!!!

Ma Tianyao gently held the glass bottle a little higher and introduced with a smile.

"Look, I left one of the triangle edges of the tofu cubes and made it into flower branches. All of them were cut into thin strips to make scattered petals. The tofu heart in the middle was kept as a bud, which was quite like a white chrysanthemum..."

At this moment, Liu Jinlai, Huang Hao and Xu Guanghua on the stage were shocked and didn't know what to say.

No one was surprised that a piece of tofu, which was ten centimeters long, wide and high, could be carved like this in an hour. After all, in terms of single-wheel shape, Ma Tianyao's white chrysanthemum can only be considered medium.
Chapter completed!
