Under the gaze of the judges, Ruger pulled out a fish tank from behind him.

In the fish tank, there are several lively little fish swimming around constantly.

The judges recognized this small fish, which is distributed in the waters of Fontainebleau and Inazuma.

However, although the meat of this fish is extremely delicious, it tastes slightly bitter, so not many people eat it, and most people just keep it as an ornamental fish.

Many judges were curious about how Ruger would cook this small fish.

In the cooking area, Ruger took a few deep breaths.

He focused his attention and began to practice the skills he had learned from Master Inazuma.

In front of all the judges, Ruger reached into the fish tank with his bare hands and pulled out a few small fish from the tank.

Quickly remove the moisture and mucus from their body surfaces, then coat them with powder and directly drag the living fish into the oil pan.

"Crack!"

The still-living fish struggled painfully in the oil pan, but after a few seconds, it became completely motionless and was then fished out by Ruger.

Ruger used slender tempura chopsticks to scoop out the fried fish from the pan and placed them on the plates in front of the judges.

The small fish that had just been caught, even though wrapped in a thin layer of batter, still maintained a very lively shape.

However, many of the judges present understood.

In order to achieve this dynamic effect, Ruger made these little fish go through something...

After all, this is not Inazuma, and the people of Fontaine still have some reservations about this way of cooking.

For example, Funina simply put down her cutlery to show her dissatisfaction with this cooking method.

Perhaps he noticed the subtlety in the judges' expressions, so Ruger gave everyone an explanation at this moment.

“For this fish tempura, I chose to fry it alive because it was extremely necessary.”

“Although the meat of this fish is extremely delicious, it tastes slightly bitter.”

"However, this slight bitterness actually only appears in large quantities after the fish dies. And it is a negative bitterness."

"If you fry the fish while it's still alive, you can minimize the release of its bitterness, and the little bit of bitterness that remains is a fresh, active bitterness."

“Not only will it not bother the diners, but it will also give the overall taste an elegant change.”

“Of course, frying live fish will also make the final product more dynamic and give everyone an excellent visual experience.”

After saying this, Ruger slowly bowed to each judge.

"Please judges, please taste it."

The judges looked at each other in bewilderment.

In the end, it was the judges appointed by Ruger's father who took up their chopsticks first and tried this fried fresh fish.

"Crack!"

The thin golden crust is extremely crispy.

The fish meat wrapped inside is also very delicious.

If you taste it carefully, you will inadvertently taste a hint of bitterness at the root of your tongue. As Ruger said, it is a "positive" bitterness that makes the taste of the fish even better.

However, not all of the judges accepted Ruger's invitation to taste the wine.

The editor-in-chief of "Chef" newspaper just put down his cutlery and said nothing more; while Funina left her seat directly and expressed her dissatisfaction with this cooking method.

After Funina left, the six judges arranged by Ruge's father finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ruge with some uneasiness.

Luger noticed their looks and spoke nonchalantly while wiping the counter.

"Gentlemen of the judges, please listen to your hearts and make fair evaluations."

Several judges opened their mouths, but in the end, no one said anything.

After making this most important dish, [Fried Live Fish], Ruger also started the cleaning work.

After finally serving the judges a portion of flavorful sea fish, Ruger announced that his tempura dish was finished.

After the food judges finished eating, they left one by one and walked towards the second restaurant.

Outside the Debo Hotel.

Funina, who arrived first, was communicating with the chef at this time.

"It turns out that the little cakes I eat every Wednesday afternoon are all your creations! They are indeed delicious, and taste very similar to the one I remember."

"Haha, it's my honor to be liked by Lady Funina."

While chatting, Funina suddenly thought of something and said to the chef.

"I remember that a long time ago, a pastry chef, inspired by the love that the people of Fontaine had for me, created a cake called 'To the Water God'. It's obviously very popular now, but the taste has long since changed, and the cake you made is indeed the most appropriate to that time."

The chef was stunned for a moment, then he smiled with relief.

"I didn't expect that Lady Funina still remembered Master's original work."

"That's right. My cake-making teacher is the pastry chef who founded [To the Water God]."

“It has been passed down from generation to generation. Although each generation has its own ideas, the original recipe has been preserved to its original flavor.”

"So, that's how it is..."

Funina sighed and said to the head chef of Debo Hotel.

“I kind of want to learn how to make pastry.”

"What?!!!"

The head chef was so frightened by what Furninna suddenly said that he even stopped the preparations in his hands and looked at Lady Furninna in astonishment.

"Haha! I was just kidding!"

"As a wise water god, if I really want to learn, I can understand it myself. Why would I need the wisdom of my people?"

Hearing this, the chef finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lady Furninna, your opinion is great."

But at this moment, Funina was thinking in her heart.

"It seems that learning to cook is indeed a good idea and can kill a lot of time."

"Just... should I find a teacher or study on my own?"

In a trance, a figure suddenly appeared in Funina's mind.

"correct!"

"That damn Fatui is a chef, right? You can ask him about learning cooking skills."

Thinking of this, Funina's eyes became brighter and brighter.
