Chapter 476 Completely Unaware
When He Yuzhu was preparing to add salt while cooking the first dish, Li Qin secretly cast a small curse on He Yuzhu.
The effect of this spell is very limited; it will only cause the person affected to be dizzy for a few seconds.
But those few seconds can directly affect the taste of He Yuzhu's dish.
Because of dizziness, He Yuzhu added too much salt.
Once He Yuzhu regained his senses, he immediately realized that the dish was ruined.
Li Qin was also aware of this.
This once again proves the law of conservation of smiles.
During He Yuzhu's previous assessment, he always had a confident and smug smile on his face.
The smile has now disappeared; more accurately, it has moved to Li Qin's face.
Although the first dish failed, He Yuzhu did not give up.
Since there are still two dishes to prepare, as long as the remaining two dishes are done very well, there is still a great chance of passing the Level 7 chef assessment.
With that in mind, He Yuzhu quickly cooked the first dish.
Then, with a serious expression, he began to stir-fry the next dish.
Seeing He Yuzhu's reaction, Li Qin showed a surprised expression:
"I never expected He Yuzhu to have this side to him."
Li Qin originally thought that after the problem with the first dish, He Yuzhuzi would at least lose his composure, even if he didn't make a big fuss.
Judging from He Yuzhu's current movements, his opponent is still performing very consistently.
Because of his concentration, he seems to be performing even better now than before.
"Don't blame me, blame yourself!"
A hint of apology flashed in Li Qin's eyes as he looked at He Yuzhu.
However, the apology vanished in an instant.
Having decided to take action, Li Qin naturally wouldn't give up halfway.
As time passed, it soon came to the crucial moment when He Yuzhu was cooking the second dish: adding salt.
This time, He Yuzhu was very cautious. He first put the required amount of salt on the spatula little by little, and only after he had enough salt did he sprinkle the salt from the spatula into the pot.
This will prevent you from accidentally adding too much salt.
Unfortunately, although He Yuzhu had been very careful and had done his best, he was unable to succeed.
But the person who didn't want him to pass the test was Li Qin.
Li Qin has mastered countless magical spells.
Li Qin originally planned to use the same trick again and let He Yuzhu accidentally add too much salt.
But this time He Yuzhu didn't give Li Qin a chance, so Li Qin had to resort to other methods.
He then pointed slightly in the direction of He Yuzhu:
"Mental confusion!"
This time, Li Qin used a minor curse with very limited power, not even a real curse, at most a minor prank spell.
The effect of this spell is to cause a person to become mentally disoriented for the next three seconds.
The spell's effect will disappear after three seconds, and the person affected by the spell will not even notice it.
At most, I just felt a momentary mental lapse.
Struck by the curse, He Yuzhu's eyes immediately became empty, blank, and lifeless.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Qin then reached out and pointed at the salt jar next to He Yuzhu.
Immediately, about a spoonful of salt flew out of the salt shaker and fell into the pot next to it.
Under the influence of high temperature, the salt melted completely in an instant, leaving no trace.
Li Qin dared to do this in front of so many people because he was confident that no one would see the salt automatically flying into the pot.
Firstly, to avoid the surrounding people affecting those taking the test, the onlookers kept a certain distance.
In addition, salt itself doesn't have a particularly bright color.
Therefore, unless one has exceptionally good eyesight, they will not be seen by those around them.
Moreover, because the salt shaker was very close to the stove, which was in use at the time, the high temperature would affect the air, causing the image to be distorted.
The chances of such an anomaly being discovered are even smaller.
As for the chefs next to He Yuzhu who were also participating in the assessment, they were even less likely to have noticed this scene.
At this moment, all the chefs were focused on cooking, so how could they have any extra energy to pay attention to others?
That's why Li Qin dared to use the spell in public.
Three seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
As the spell's effects wore off, He Yuzhu snapped back to reality.
He subconsciously shook his head.
However, they found nothing and noticed nothing.
He Yuzhu then continued cooking.
Seeing this, Li Qin knew that He Yuzhu's second dish was definitely ruined as well.
The test consists of three dishes, and He Yuzhu has already failed two of them, leaving only the last dish to be tested.
Logically speaking, even if Li Qin didn't use any tricks, and even if He Yuzhu did very well, it was unlikely that he would pass the Level 7 assessment.
Therefore, Li Qin can basically leave now.
After thinking it over, Li Qin did not choose to leave, but stayed in place to watch the assessment.
"Although it's almost certain that He Yuzhu won't pass the test, it's better to be safe than sorry. Since I've taken action, there can't be any unexpected problems."
After thinking it over, Li Qin decided to wait until the final result was out before leaving.
He had even prepared to destroy He Yuzhu's last dish using the same methods.
This is the only way to guarantee that He Yuzhu will not pass the assessment.
Unaware of Li Qin's secret machinations, He Yuzhu confidently served and arranged the second dish.
Because he was so confident, He Yuzhu didn't even taste the dishes he made.
Then they began burning paper money for the third dish.
Perhaps it was the second dish of burning paper money that gave He Yuzhu a boost of confidence, because a smile returned to his face at this moment.
Although the smile was much fainter than at the beginning.
Li Qin hid in the crowd and watched secretly.
Seeing the smile on He Yuzhu's face, Li Qin also smiled.
"Laugh, laugh, and let's see if you can still laugh later."
In fact, one reason Li Qin chose to stay instead of leaving was to ensure that He Yuzhu would not pass the assessment in the end.
Another reason is that Li Qin also wants to see He Yuzhu's expression later.
Soon, He Yuzhu's third dish was also nearing completion. All that was left was to add salt and other seasonings, stir-fry for a while, and it would be ready.
This time, Li Qin used the same trick again, using a spell to influence He Yuzhu, and then taking advantage of the other party's distraction to help He Yuzhu add an extra spoonful of salt to the pot.
All of this happened in an instant, and He Yuzhu was unaware of it due to his mental confusion.
No one around noticed anything unusual.
When the third dish was ready, He Yuzhu's face was full of satisfaction.
"Although the first dish failed due to some unexpected events, the second and third dishes were very successful."
As long as the examiner has tasted it, there's a high probability of passing the Level 7 chef assessment.
Thinking of this, He Yuzhu's eyes were filled with anticipation.
He had even started fantasizing about how he would show off in front of those two annoying guys, Li Qin and Xu Damao, after passing the test.
