Free Web NovelChapter 664: Chapter 600: Needle Point Against Wheat Awl, Puff Against Puff (Part 3)
The movements of both were incredibly fast, so fast that they seemed to leave afterimages.
Sofia was whipping egg yolks with a hand mixer, her rapidly rotating arm seemed to leave behind several afterimages.
Wang Fan had already kneaded the dough and was using a sharp knife to make various cuts on the dough, moving so quickly that it made one’s heart race, fearing he might accidentally cut his hand.
Sofia had already placed the mixed batter on the heat, continuing to stir rapidly while occasionally adding more ingredients.
Wang Fan began kneading the dough again, this time adding different colorings to create doughs of varying colors.
Once the dough was kneaded, it was wrapped tightly with plastic wrap, and then immediately afterwards, he was back to using the knife on the pastry.
One cut, two cuts, three cuts—audiences could only see Wang Fan’s knife constantly moving, but hardly saw it change positions.
When the camera zoomed in, Zhang Tao exclaimed again, "Ladies and gentlemen, I can clearly see that the pastry in Boss Wang’s hand is at most only 5 millimeters wide, and I just counted he made a full 20 cuts. What does it mean to make 20 cuts on something 5 millimeters wide? If those 20 cuts did not overlap, then the distance between each cut would be just 0.25 millimeters! That’s even finer than many male viewers’ hair!"
The audience, already watching for fun, was stunned into silence by Zhang Tao’s words.
"Gosh, can a knife be used like this?"
"I know about this, isn’t this how the finely sliced tofu is cut?"
"I knew Boss Wang’s knife skills were good, but I didn’t expect them to be this good!"
Not just them, even Chen Guomin and other Chinese pastry chefs watching the livestream were astonished.
To have a good presentation in pastry, knife skills are obviously necessary, but typically the degree required isn’t that high. Who else would surpass a professional chopper’s skills like Wang Fan did?
Time passed rapidly, and beads of sweat were already forming on Wang Fan and Sofia’s foreheads, yet their hand movements remained steady.
On the workstation in front of him lay a multitude of components of assorted shapes and sizes—red, yellow, white, black, blue—and no one knew what he was planning to do next.
Sofia had already placed her French mille-feuille pastry into the oven, and without even taking a rest, she began to grind caramel into powder.
With the competition time drawing to a close, both of their speeds increased, creating a tense and thrilling scene that had the audience on edge.
At this point, Wang Fan went all out, not daring to hold back even a little against the only female pastry chef from the France Team.
He had to be in his best state and produce his best work if he hoped to defeat this formidable opponent.
Sofia was equally excited—the stronger the opponent, the sweeter the victory, a feeling she loved, even to the point of madness, similar to the exhilaration of conquering towering peaks with bare hands, surpassing everything else in the world.
Wang Fan finally ended the component-making, sat down for a brief rest, and began assembling the parts together.
His hands were quick yet stable, nurturing a small, cute creation rapidly in his hands. freewebnovel.cσ๓
Sofia took the pastry out of the oven and, once cooled, would also begin the final assembly.
This match, fast pitted against fast, pastry against pastry, was about to enter its final phase.
I must win!
Their unyielding gazes collided again, each seeing the other’s determination. frёeωebɳovel.com
