Today was the last assessment of the Four-Star chef test. After the fans' discussion yesterday, more people came to the live stream, wondering whether Gu Bai could pass the test.

When the viewers were all waiting for the start of the show, what was Gu Bai doing?

Gu Bai was preparing food for Mu Qiu. Except for the steaks, Mu Qiu's favorite, he also made some vegetables, which Mu Qiu didn't favor.

Mu Qiu counted the Tupperware again and again, knowing that Gu Bai had made two or three fewer dishes than before.

"Bai, why do I have less food? Have you finished cooking?"

Gu Bai put the Tupperware in the same position as yesterday and began to change his clothes, ready to go out.

Mu Qiu finally realized that the food was all for today, feeling desperate.

"Bai, that's not enough."

Mu Qiu bit Gu Bai's trousers while howling, pointing at the Tupperware behind and wishing Gu Bai could realize that he had missed some dishes.

"That's enough for you to eat today. I made too much yesterday. That's bad for your health. Be a good boy. I'll come back earlier tonight." Gu Bai stroked Mu Qiu's head and comforted it.

"So, that's all for me today?"

"These are indeed enough for me, but I'm not alone. My master's mother has been joining me at dinner as well. That's not enough."

"Xiaobai, please! Make more, I want more!"

The wolfie played so cutely that Gu Bai almost compromised.

"You can't eat too much. If you behave yourself today, I'll reward you tonight, alright?" Gu Bai coaxed it.

Although Mu Qiu was a wolf, it was still a baby wolfie.

Seeing that Gu Bai had already made up his mind, Mu Qiu lowered its head, seeming pitiful.

Gu Bai tried hard to stop himself from rushing in and making more food for Mu Qiu.

He had to do this for Mu Qiu's sake.

"Mu Qiu, we are leaving. Be a good boy, and I'll make you more tonight." Gu Bai left as soon as he finished as if he would regret it if he stayed longer.

Mu Qiu hesitated, looking at the Tupperware and then the pack. It didn't know whether it should go back to the manor right now.

On the one hand, Mu Qiu wanted to go back and see its master; on the other hand, going back there meant Mu Qiu had to share the food with Fang Mengshu, yet the food was not enough for Mu Qiu.

However, its loyalty won, so Mu Qiu carried the pack and the Tupperware and ran to the manor.

Maybe Mu Qiu was too attached to food, or maybe its love for Jun Molin had touched the immortals. Mu Qiu didn't see Fang Mengshu there when going back. Except for the servants and the guards, there were only Mu Qiu and Jun Molin in the manor.

"Wow, these are all mine!"

Mu Qiu cheered and ran to Jun Molin's bedroom familiarly, preparing to have a feast.

As usual, Mu Qiu opened the Tupperware and smelt the tempting fragrance of food. It was soon all over the bedroom. Since the steaks were fried, it smelt much better than any other dish. Anyone here would find it hard to resist the dish.

People could tell how delicious the food was based on Mu Qiu's bright eyes and the way it ate the food.

Mu Qiu yelled cheerfully as it ate the dishes, waving its tail happily.

"It's so delicious. Xiaobai is such an amazing chef. My master will love his dishes if he eats them. Now that my master can't eat them yet, I can only enjoy them by myself."

As Mu Qiu thought this way proudly, it ate more cheerfully and felt satisfied.

At that moment, a weak but magnetic voice sounded. "Did I starve you before?"

Mu Qiu pricked up its ears and forgot to move. The equipment in the room made an ear-piercing sound.

...

The Chef Guild.

"The fourth round of the Four-Star Chef Certificate test now begins. I'll be in charge this time." Bai Xu announced on stage. At the same time, the fans rushed in as soon as the staff member opened the live stream.

[I'm so excited! Why am I feeling this way? I'm not even participating in the assessment.]

[I feel the same! Finally, it's the last test. The contestant is asked to finish at least ten dishes alone. I wonder if he can make it.]

[Ten dishes form a feat. No wonder it's the test for Four-Star Chef Certificate. It's much more difficult than ordinary tests.]

[Do you have to say that? Even a Three-Star chef could open a restaurant on his own. Isn't it normal that a Four-Star chef should at least be able to make a complete feast?]

[Have you figured out who the contestant is? Fang Weixuan has denied it. Although Shen Liangxu didn't deny it, he didn't admit it, either. After my careful comparison of Shen Liangxu and the contestant, I believe it's not Shen Liangxu because the contestant looks thinner.]

[I'd say it's indeed Shen Liangxu. The contestant is as tall as him, and they look similar in figures. Besides, Shen Liangxu has become thinner since he has been studying new dishes recently. He's more in line with the image of this chef.]

[Who cares? The Chef Guild will release his name once he passes the test. We'll know the answer no matter what. Now focus on the test.]

"I believe you've already understood the contents of the fourth assessment of the Four-Star Chef Certificate test. We will provide you with ingredients, and you will have to choose among them before making a feast. Remember your dishes have to include the main course, main food, cold dishes, hot dishes, and desserts. You can decide what to make later," Bai Xu explained the rules briefly and then signaled the staff to bring the prepared ingredients.

Bai Xu calmed down after a night. Even if he still didn't like Gu Bai, he didn't show his hate toward him as obviously as yesterday.

In fact, Bai Xu didn't hold prejudice against Gu Bai at the beginning. He only felt this way because Gu Bai knew Zhou Xingchu and they seemed to be in a good relationship.

However, he was still amazed by Gu Bai's talent and ability, especially after he made Pork with Salted Vegetable. Bai Xu had practiced for quite a long time before he could make such a dish, but he didn't expect Gu Bai to make more delicious food based on a one-time observation of his dish.

After the assessment ended yesterday, he went back and thought about it. If he could have Gu Bai as his disciple, the latter would benefit him a lot in the future.

"I see," Gu Bai said.

The Chef Guild had provided quite a lot of ingredients for the contestant, so Gu Bai could do whatever he wanted with them.

Gu Bai recalled the menu he had listed yesterday in his mind and then made corresponding adjustments to the ingredients he needed.

He had set a total of 12 dishes for the feast.

Cold dishes: Cucumber Salad, Sweet and Sour Turnips.

Hot dishes: Braised Pork Ball in Brown Sauce, Steamed Fish, Braised Prawns, Double-Flavored Chickens, Steamed Cabbage in Supreme Soup, Mushrooms with Flower Syrup.

Main courses: Glutinous Rice with Jujubes, Propitious Noodles (One noodle representing long-lasting good luck).

Desserts: the Porridge of Longan and Lotus Seeds, Red Bean Cake.

After selecting all the ingredients, Gu Bai first boiled the stock for later use and then cut the radish into finger-thick strips and pickled it for an hour. During the prickling period, he dealt with other ingredients.

In the entire assessment site, people could only see Gu Bai walking back and forth and hear the knives cutting sounds. All the five judges sat on the stage, watching him cook quietly.

The viewers were active on the live stream, but they didn't quarrel as much as they did yesterday. It was a rare chance for them to watch a person make a feast. Therefore, they wished they could memorize some recipes so that they could cook for themselves later.

As time went by, Gu Bai cooked faster and faster. Thanks to his hard work, more dishes were finished. The fragrance of natural food spread all over, so fewer people sent comments, but more people began to swallow.

The viewers were lucky because they could close the holographic function if they couldn't resist it anymore. Unfortunately, the five judges had nowhere to hide but accepted their fate to smell it.

The cold dishes were easy to bear. However, as more hot dishes were served, the strong smell made it impossible for people not to smell it until they could hold their breath for long.

"What is he making? It smells so good." President Yang Xu stretched his neck and looked down, his Adam's apple moving uncontrollably.

"What a promising young man. I didn't expect him to be such an excellent chef at such an age. Well down!" Senior Zheng praised with a smile, looking toward Gu Bai as well.

"Is he the one you looked for on the fringe planet before?" Senior Du asked Zhou Xingchu curiously beside him.

They all knew what Zhou Xingchu had done the other day, but they didn't approve of him at that time.

In their eyes, there was no way that an amazing chef would be willing to live on a fringe planet. If he was really that good, he could easily earn a lot by opening a restaurant on the Central Star. As for the thought that some local people cultivated such a young man, they wouldn't buy it.

After all, the fringe planet was a remote and underdeveloped place in many people's eyes in the empire capital. They believed anyone who had money would try their best to get rid of that place.

Zhou Xingchu replied, "That's right. I looked for him before. After trying his dishes yesterday, I believe you guys know how capable he is. In fact, he knows how to make many dishes that don't exist in our era yet. I have every reason to believe that many of them are ancient earth dishes."

All the rest turned their gazes on Zhou Xingchu when hearing this.

"Really?" President Yang Xun couldn't believe it. After all, they were talking about the legendary dishes from the ancient earth.

"Haven't you tasted the three dishes yesterday? How come anyone makes perfect dishes like that without practicing? I'm afraid the family recipe he mentioned is hopefully passed down from ancient earth," Zhou Xingchu wasn't sure whether he was right, so he guessed.

Although the recipe was tempting, none of them would try to get it secretly.

In the interstellar era, people valued the protection of personal property. Therefore, the ancestral recipe was also protected legally as private property.

"If that's the case, perhaps the empire will change a lot in the future," said President Yang Xun.
