@Mogima how you ask? didn't he said he wrapped the squid INSIDE the catfish noodle strands one by one? that means after he finished squeezing the catfish dough into noodle strands, he rolled it outside the squid strands afterwards to combine them
Btw the Dan guy was acting super smug about winning and calling the mc a brat 2 chapters ago, he went on to use flour when the only requirement is not using flour. Sorry, but having room temperature IQ is not gonna make you the best chef in China.
Being allowed to use flour just not wheat flour, makes the whole thing 10 times lamer. Meanwhile the "beef noodle" is just beef cut into strips. Mao won that fair and square. There's no way eating blanched beef strips are good.
