Volume 2: Chef King Contest Chapter 406 Profession is Profession, Competition is Competition!
The atmosphere of the anti-host coalition has become awkward.
Before the match, everyone put the stakes of victory on Salim.
As a result, Salim lost, and lost completely.
Salim said the judges were unfair.
However, everyone is skeptical about Salim's character.
The bullet was not accurate, and the barrel was crooked.
This is the behavior of the weak.
The judges of the World Culinary Exchange are well-known in the international culinary world.
Not only is there no shortage of money, but also cherishes feathers.
Salim's remarks reached the ears of the judges, which naturally caused them to be extremely unhappy.
Someone proposed that he be completely banned.
It's just talking.
Because, no one likes to put too much energy on the loser.
There are doubts about Qiao Zhi's 29 points and the anti-host league.
"Qiao Zhi was able to score 29 points, is this a mistake?"
"I heard that Qiao Zhi cooks kung pao chicken, and when he was preparing the ingredients, he massaged the chicken, so that the chicken was extremely delicious and refreshing. β
"Massaging chickens, and doing this? I really doubt if he's a funny guy arranged by God. β
"In the second round of elimination, I believe that luck will not always favor him. β
"After the first round of elimination, those who are weaker are screened out. The real battle is later, and I believe that Qiao Zhi's good luck will come to an end. β
The anti-host coalition is still skeptical of Qiao Zhi.
It doesn't seem so firm anymore.
The first round of knockouts has already shown the strength of most of them.
Megumi Kitaoka scored 30 points, Wu Linfeng scored 30 points, and there were five 30 players, while Zhong Shi scored 28 points and barely advanced to the second round.
Among the top 16, Huaxia, as the host, accounted for three seats and achieved good results.
This is also the reason why a group of foreigners formed an anti-host alliance.
Every host is the strong side.
Megumi Kitaoka has been paying attention to Qiao Zhi.
I heard that he fell into a vegetative state and couldn't participate in the competition, and I felt regretful and lost for a while.
When Qiao Zhi killed Salim in seconds, her mood also became relaxed.
Megumi Kitaoka determined that Qiao Zhi was still deliberately retaining his strength.
With his level of victory over Sandra, he could easily get a perfect score in the first round.
The only explanation is that he deliberately hides his strength.
Only the strongest people can control the outcome of the game as they want.
Not only does he have the strength to far surpass his opponents, but he even has enough knowledge of the psychology of the judges.
What a formidable opponent.
Finding Qiao Zhi in the rest area, Megumi Kitaoka took the initiative to invite: "Can you borrow a step to speak." β
Qiao Zhi looked at his porcelain doll-like opponent in surprise.
"Absolutely. β
Coming to the end of the corridor in the rest area, the two stood at the window.
Megumi Kitaoka turned to stare at Qiao Zhi, "I hope you can show your true strength in the next games." β
Qiao Zhi smiled, "Do you think I didn't show 100% strength before?"
Megumi Kitaoka looked at the Chinese man very seriously.
She takes her cooking very seriously and always strives for perfection.
But the man in front of him seems to regard cooking as a game.
The cynical appearance made her feel displeased.
The most cherished things have been desecrated.
"I know your true strength. So I hope you take every dish of food seriously and don't desecrate our profession. Megumi Kitaoka said with some anger.
"You're misunderstanding me. I
Never has there ever been a desecration of my profession or the slightest disrespect for my customers. Qiao Zhi paused for a few seconds, "However, a profession is a profession, and competition is a competition." Careers don't have to be cheating, but it's not just about skills, it's about strategy and tactics. β
Megumi Kitaoka frowned, "In my opinion, the World Cuisine Exchange Meeting should not be treated differently from the usual work. β
Qiao Zhi laughed, "You're making a fool of yourself." First of all, the prize money of the exchange meeting is attractive, secondly, we need to please not ordinary guests, but a group of professionals with particularly tricky mouths, and finally there is no opponent in the usual work, we are now facing the best chefs in the world, how can we not treat them differently?"
Megumi Kitaoka found that she was short of words, and reminded seriously: "I hope you can show 100% strength." The results of the knockout rounds will be rolled over to the finals. If nothing else, I'll still get a perfect score in the second round, and if you're one point behind me in the second round, it's going to be very difficult to catch up with me in the last round. β
Qiao Zhi's eyes became solemn.
Megumi Kitaoka wants to know herself better than she imagined.
I can really underestimate this woman.
"Straighten your spine and meet me in the final. β
Megumi Kitaoka turned and left.
Qiao Zhi looked at Megumi Kitaoka's back.
Will this woman be a stepping stone for herself?
Qiao Zhi participated in the knockout round in a low-key manner.
All planning is to pave the way for the ultimate victory.
For example, the opponent of the black-hearted canteen to find out the bottom, and for example, the rumor that he fell into a vegetative state and could not compete.
It's all about paralyzing the opponent.
It won't be too sharp and attacked by other opponents.
His plan was a success.
Now Wu Linfeng and Zhong Shi have become the objects of key care.
And he was ignored by his opponents.
Being low-key doesn't mean being humble.
On the contrary, in Qiao Zhi's opinion, including Megumi Kitaoka, like Salim, is destined to become his stepping stone.
Trample them under your feet and earn respect.
Get the ultimate bonus.
With that bonus, plus the song copyright income, you don't need a loan, you can buy a 140-square-meter bungalow.
I didn't expect Megumi Kitaoka to take the initiative to find himself and come up with a radical method.
It's getting more and more interesting.
Returning to the lounge, seeing Zhong Shi frowning, Qiao Zhi patted Zhong Shi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I have been promoted, why do you feel unhappy?"
Zhong Shi held the mobile phone, stunned.
"I'm in a bad mood, I'm not in good shape. β
"Why are you in a bad mood?" Qiao Zhi said unexpectedly.
"I haven't come out of my broken love yet. Zhong Shi pointed to his dark circles and cried his face, "I have never liked a woman so seriously. β
Are you still thinking about An Zixia?
After counting the time, it has been almost a month since Anzi Shala Black Bell Stone.
It seems that this time he is really tempted.
"Dun'er, I suggest you start a new relationship again! I got a message that An Zixia doesn't like you. And the things I helped you talk about before were also exposed. Qiao Zhi said truthfully.
"Huh, how could she know about that?"
"There is no impermeable wall in the world, what is fake is fake, and paper cannot contain fire. β
Zhong Shi looked at Qiao Zhi in a daze, and hugged his head in pain, "Alas, forget it, I'll continue to be a prodigal son in the future." Don't stop me, make me bad, make me decadent......"
Qiao Zhi couldn't cry or laugh.
I still know Zhong Shi's character very well.
This guy has no heart and no lungs.
Nothing is a big health fix that doesn't
Yes.
However, his state still made Qiao Zhi a little worried.
Sure enough, in the second round of elimination, he lost by one point to Spanish chef Jose.
The topic of the two of them was seafood.
The opponent, Jose, won with the Spanish national dish, Paella.
Paella is one of Spain's most famous paellas, in which fish, shellfish and vegetables are stir-fried in olive oil and boiled with rice until the grains are fluffy.
JosΓ© knows this dish by heart, and he has his own unique innovations.
In the process of processing seafood, the seafood is fried, wrapped in vegetables, and then stewed.
Zhong Shi is a Huainan chef, and his seafood cooking skills are not as good as those of Nanyue cuisine, and his performance is not outstanding enough.
Of course, Zhong Shi was eliminated in this round, and there were also judges who considered the nationality of the finalists.
Wu Linfeng no longer had any suspense and took the lead in the promotion.
If Zhong Shi also advances, there will be two Chinese players in the finals.
This is the measure and unspoken rule that the judges have to take in order to ensure that the participating countries in the final are as diverse as possible.
Similarly, for Qiao Zhi, if he wants to qualify for the quarterfinals, he must show real skills.
Wu Linfeng was surrounded by reporters.
As the first host chef to advance to the competition, reporters took a keen interest in him.
"May I ask Chef Wu, are you confident that you will finally win the World Cuisine Exchange?" the reporter of "Oriental Cuisine" handed the microphone to his mouth for an interview.
"As a chef, if you only want to win, it's a very low level thing. Wu Linfeng said seriously, "I hope to exchange ideas with top chefs from all over the world." In fact, I am just following the old path of my master, Liu Daguo's national chef. Compared to his achievements, he took the first step. β
"Who do you think is your rival among the next contestants?" the reporter asked.
"Do you want me to say Megumi Kitaoka, or Jose? I have no enemies, I will treat each judge as my own honored guest, treat them with delicious food, let them feel the top feast of Chinese food, and that's it. Wu Linfeng said politely.
"Will Qiao Zhi meet you in the finals?" another reporter squeezed over and asked.
"I'm a chef, not a prophet. Wu Linfeng smiled humorously.
He waved to the reporters and left the scene.
Wu Linfeng was in a good mood, because he was the first to advance, and there would undoubtedly be huge pressure on Qiao Zhi.
Although the judges are fair, they will be more demanding and critical of Chinese chefs.
The reaction of the media has been extremely sharp.
They had already sniffed Qiao Zhi's situation.
It is very likely that like Zhong Shi, he will be eliminated directly.
Qiao Zhi entered the competition area as the second batch of the second round of elimination.
His opponent was the German MΓΌller, a top chef who excelled in cooking risotto.
Compared with Salim, Muller's strength is at least three or four levels higher.
Judging from the data, he even has the strength to compete with Megumi Kitaoka and Sandra.
And he is not so famous, just because he is relatively low-key.
In short, like Qiao Zhi's tactics, trying to advance to the finals in a very reluctant way.
Muller and Qiao Zhi took the initiative to shake hands, with a faint smile on their faces.
Qiao Zhi smiled in return.
"The title of the competition is to cook a meal with fish as an ingredient. β
The chief judge is from Venezuela and is a female judge named Lima.
She is looking forward to Muller's performance.
In the first round of elimination, she was also the chief judge.
MΓΌller's cooking skills are something she admires.
