The two contestants were already at their cooking stations, ready to begin.
The timing was just right.
Six o'clock sharp.
Dang!
The gong sounded, and the host, Chiyoda Aichi, announced loudly, "The Food Duel begins!"
"From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., the two chefs will have three hours to prepare their signature dishes! The moment the gong sounds again, the chefs must stop all work immediately! Any violation of the rules will result in an automatic loss!"
Chiyoda Aichi's face was tense.
At that moment, the chairman of the Food Duel Administration, Keiru Kuushou, stepped onto the stage behind Xia Yu and said, "Instructor Xia, the ingredients are ready!"
"Then bring them up!"
Xia Yu glanced across at her opponent and was immediately taken aback.
Aoki Motota, another great leader from the IGO Neon Department, cheerfully took the stage to bring ingredients for his junior, Yuchuan Ayaka.
A small bag of low-gluten flour.
A box of eggs, six in total.
