I Am A Gourmet: Just Eight And You Want Me To Start A Roadside Stall? Chapter 46 – Major Challenge!

“Using the ingredients to make a taste different from its original taste…”

Xu Le narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

More accurately, Xu Le was immersed in the System Shop.

In the vast list of recipes, he looked for one that was more suitable for what Master Cai Lan had requested.

Finally, Xu Le's eyes trembled slightly.

He saw a suitable choice among these recipes.

“Crab roe?”

“This will do!”

Xu Le immediately raised his head. His eyes sparkled as he stared at Master Cai Lan.

“Grandpa Cai Lan, I got it!”

“What dish is it?” Cai Lan asked curiously.

“The ingredient we chose for the dish just now was very simple. It was the most basic onion. We made the original flavor of the onion. Now, we have to use an ingredient to make the flavor that is not the original taste. We also have to use a very common and cheap ingredient.”

“What is it?”

Everyone in the program team was focused on Xu Le.

Everyone was curious about what Xu Le would surprise them with.

“Eggs!”

“Eggs!”

Everyone was stunned when they heard Xu Le's response.

Eggs… Could it be used to make something that doesn't taste like eggs?

However, after pondering for a few seconds, a meaningful smile appeared on Master Cai Lan's face.

He seemed to understand Xu Le's meaning.

“This dish is very suitable, very suitable!”

He couldn't help but clap.

Master Cai Lan had already guessed that the dish Xu Le wanted to make was the [Crab Roe]. He also knew about this dish, but he had not thought of it when he set the theme for this episode.

“Xu Le, you know how to make crab roe?”

Xu Le nodded.

With the system space, he could easily learn any cuisine in this world.

“Can we set a time tomorrow to film?”

Master Cai Lan asked in embarrassment.

After all, it was already very late and Xu Le had been busy for the whole day before he had to host them right away. He even made such a delicious dish called [Stewed Onion]. However, they still wanted to continue filming the cooking process of [Crab Roe].

He could imagine how exhausted Xu Le must be.

“Alright, let's do it at 10am tomorrow.” Xu Le thought for a while and nodded.

During the day, he needed to open his store. He would only have time to receive the production team after the restaurant closed at 10pm.

“Thank you, little Master Chef.”

Cai Lan walked over with a smile and hugged Xu Le tightly.

He was really excited that with Xu Le's culinary skills, the entire program's quality had been greatly enhanced.

One had to know that Taste of China had already been broadcasted up to its third season.

However, the season with the highest rating on the internet was still season one.

Three years ago, the first season of Taste of China came out of nowhere and directly blew up on all the major online media outlets and among social circles.

Faced with such a gourmet documentary that they had never seen before, everyone showed great interest. The show received a total of 350 million views online, and its rating on the website was as high as 9.4.

After a year, the production team launched the second season.

However, this time, the reputation had collapsed.

A rating of 7.5 might be a pretty good result for other television programs, but for Taste of China, especially for a gourmet documentary produced by Master Chef Cai Lan himself, this was a result that totally failed.

The reason was simple. It was the comparison.

Compared to the first season, the second season of Taste of China had a very obvious drop in quality. There were also many netizens who expressed their disappointment over this, and even bluntly said that they no longer looked forward to the third season of the program.

Master Cai Lan was also very anxious about this situation.

After two years, he had once again taken over the third season of Taste of China. He wanted to return to the standard of the first season and even create an even better food documentary!

Meanwhile, Xu Le's short exchange with him gave him hope.

That night, Master Cai Lan could not sleep.

For an old man like him, he had already seen through the world. Every day, he would eat some delicacies and do some of the things he did. He no longer had any worries in his life, and his sleeping state was usually very stable.

But that night, he was too excited.

Master Cai Lan was already old and his greatest wish was to make the program of Taste of China great. And meeting Xu Le now was undoubtedly a blessing for him.

The next night.

At 10pm sharp.

At the agreed time, Master Cai Lan led the entire filming team to the entrance of the '8-year-old cafeteria'.

Xu Le had already finished a busy day. There were only two or three customers eating in the restaurant.

Knowing that they would be filming Taste of China at night, the Central TV live broadcast team did not leave. The host, Wang Bingbing, was still standing guard there to continue hosting for everyone.

Her face seemed slightly exhausted.

In order to let the audience understand Xu Le's daily life better, the production team started filming the entire process from 9am when Xu Le was buying the ingredients.

13 hours had passed until 10pm, which was considered a very long time.

After such a long period of filming, Wang Bingbing felt extremely tired. She couldn't wait to go back to the hotel to take a hot bath and sleep.

However, Xu Le was still full of energy.

“The Master Chef is amazing… Not only is he a great cook, but he can work from morning to night without showing any signs of fatigue…”

Wang Bingbing looked at Xu Le with admiration.

What she did not know was that when Xu Le practiced cooking in the system space every day, the system would gradually cause his physical fitness to also improve.

Although Xu Le was still an eight-year-old child, in terms of physical fitness, 80% of the adult males would lose out to him.

Most importantly, after cooking in the system space for a long time, the simple cooking process was not mentally exhausting for Xu Le. Instead, it was a process of enjoyment.

After some small talk, everyone immediately entered the filming mode.

After all, it was already late at night. The earlier they entered the shoot, the earlier it would end.

Xu Le was wearing a custom-made chef's uniform. He looked very mini and adorable.

After all, he was really too small. He was only a little over 1.2 meters tall. Of all the chef's uniforms sold in the past ten years, not a single one could fit him.

All the raw materials were also prepared and the cameras and lights were all set up.

This episode—Crab Roe!
