"Let's get started" Tainan Garden Night Market challenges warm-bodied beef, and the two teams are full of jokes during the preparation process

[Reporter Xiao Fangqi/Reporting from Taipei] The latest episode of the cooking competition reality program "Let's Start" hosted by Yang Mingwei, Li Yuxi and others came to the first-level food battle zone "Tainan Garden Night Market". The two teams faced a new test. In addition to cooperating with local merchants, the designated ingredient was extremely difficult warm-body beef. Faced with 20 pounds of unprocessed beef, full of fascia and fat, the chefs and members of both teams were tortured to the point of screaming. Director-General Yang Mingwei bluntly said that this was "the most explosive experience since going around the island." Even Operation Chef Chen Yousheng admitted that the difficulty soared instantly and it was the most difficult battle.

This episode welcomes two new duty managers, Zhou Xiaohan and Huahua. The lively two people are very lively as soon as they appear on the scene. Huahua, who calls herself "Open the Fire" Mizuhara Kiko, joined the Japanese team. Her nonsensical self-introduction and full of energy made Japanese chef Tatsuya Kawagoe laugh until he couldn't stand up. Li Yuxi also teased: "Chef, have you been drinking?"

Zhou Xiaohan, who joined the Korean team, showed an elegant style. She cut carrots into shreds with a slow-motion effect. She was not good at knife skills and her movements were slow and slow. Director Yang Ming asked, "Is it a sloth?" She couldn't help laughing at herself: "I seem to be dragging Chef Zheng down. Will I be chopping carrots all night?"

Faced with unprocessed "warm-body beef", the two teams had constant jokes and conflicts during the preparation process. The Japanese team's Huahua said it was like "hand-to-hand combat" with warm-bodied beef. Dora Xie Yuzhi's clumsy knife skills made the owner of the stall next door look down on her. He personally taught her the fascia removal technique, allowing her to instantly unlock new skills and call herself the "Beef Tendon Removal Master". On the other side, the Korean team was struggling with insufficient manpower. Even the usually calm chef Zheng Jishan lost his temper with the production unit for the first time. He smiled bitterly and shouted: "It's too much!" He even sang his own tragic song while working: "It's over! It's over!" and fell into an unprecedented low point in preparing materials.

In addition to the preparation hell, Director-General Yang Mingwei also caused public dissatisfaction. Li Yuxi revealed that he had been working hard with big bags, but he witnessed Yang Mingwei taking photos with people at the night market and happily eating the roasted corn and pizza enthusiastically provided by the store. Li Yuxi shouted angrily: "Director-General is so happy! I just saw it. Very angry!” Even the duty manager Zhou Xiaohan, who had just joined, shouted, “Director-General is really happy!” Hearing the crowd’s siege, Yang Mingwei silently asked, “Should the Director-General’s vest be replaced with a bullet-proof one? Will it be dangerous later?” The hilarious conversation made everyone laugh.

Faced with the huge queues at the Garden Night Market, the Japanese team launched a high-quality blessing set meal, including sukiyaki style warm beef noodles and desserts, while the Korean team presented two meal options: fish-flavored shredded beef pasta and warm beef sandwich pancakes. It is very curious to see which team can overcome the slump in material preparation and the pressure of crowds and successfully win the Tainan Garden Night Market.
