Chen Xiandong is the first group of the fifth division, in addition to him, there are four chefs, he stood on the stage with a smile on his face, because the staff of his restaurant sat under the stage, cheering and cheering for Chen Xiandong.

However, what surprised Chen Xiandong was that in addition to himself, there was another person who also had a cheerleading team, and that was Qiao Zhi, a young Chinese chef standing on the right side.

Chen Xiandong knew that the players arranged by Huaxia this time were very strong, in addition to Ye Honglei, there was also Sun Shichao, they were all seeded players.

The remaining chef, who is not yet 30 years old, is the youngest contestant in this tournament, and Chen Xiandong believes that Huaxia arranged this person to provide him with competition experience.

In Qiao Zhi's information, several very important pieces of information are mentioned, he is not only a chef, but also an entrepreneur worth tens of billions, although he has only participated in a few World Culinary Leagues, but none of them have been defeated, and even defeated the romantic chef Max, who has occupied the first place for a long time.

Chen Xiandong has heard of Max's name, and he has also participated in the World Culinary League, and it is best to finish in the top five, but he has not tried to compete with Max.

He believes that people have misses, horses have stumbled, and Qiao Zhi's victory over Max is likely to be a mistake by Max, and it is more likely to be an operation.

Qiao Zhi's young chef tasting conference at the end of the year of the Huaxia Cuisine Association, as well as the competition information with Sun Shichao's father at the State Guesthouse, Chen Xiandong also studied it, and he thought it was too fake.

Qiao Zhi is an entrepreneur, and it is very likely that he is bribing these people to improve the brightness of his resume.

All in all, Chen Xiandong chose to strategically defy his opponent.

Qiao Zhi observed Mei Ling and Tang Qi standing in the cheerleading squad.

In addition to the two of them, there were also some loyal fans who came to watch the game spontaneously.

Some of them are local overseas Chinese, and some of them are hardcore people who came from abroad.

Qiao Zhi was a little moved in his heart when he saw these warm faces, and he had to go all out and not live up to their expectations.

Sun Shichao was divided into the second group in the sixth division, and when he heard that Chen Xiandong collided with Qiao Zhi in the first round, he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Chen Xiandong.

Brother Dei, the shame I suffered at the Young Chef Tasting Conference, you are going to taste it now.

Although he couldn't witness Qiao Zhi's demeanor with his own eyes, he was sure that Qiao Zhi would definitely win beautifully.

These guys from the International Culinary Association are really blind, and they didn't even arrange Qiao Zhi among the seeded players.

......

The theme of the first stage of the knockout round is beef, Oblac cattle from the French Oblac grasslands.

This ancient breed of beef, tender and elastic, is used as the main ingredient and needs to be cooked as an appetizer and a dessert.

As the host announces the start, the electronic clock in front of the five people starts to clock in, and they need to complete three dishes in an hour and a half.

Five servings of each dish are prepared and presented to the five judges for tasting.

"Clang, jingle bell", from time to time the sound of kitchen utensils colliding with each other.

"Oblak cow, it doesn't seem to be as famous as Kobe beef and Australian beef!" the Qiao gang leader fan sitting next to Mei Ling began to communicate.

"The Oblac beef is famous in France, everyone in France knows its name, the beef is tender and very full-bodied, and it is one of the more high-end ingredients in French cuisine. A person next to him explained.

Mei Ling listened to the discussion next to her, and secretly thought that it would definitely be more delicious if it was cooked by Qiao Zhi's hands, and she felt drooling when she thought about it.

Compared to the other contestants, Qiao Zhi looks calm and composed, and looks different from other busy chefs.

The group of relatives and friends on the Xinguo side found out about Qiao Zhi's "casualness" and began to verbally attack.

"That young Chinese chef really came to accompany him. It felt like he was confused, and he didn't know what to choose.

After Qiao Zhi put all the spices he brought, he began to pick and choose the tableware provided on the stove, and began to clean the ones he needed.

"What is the chef doing, washing the dishes!"

"I think he's given up. ”

Chen Xiandong was observing the performance of other opponents, and he noticed that Qiao Zhi looked wandering and was a little angry in his heart.

Is he using this behavior to despise himself?

The five judges couldn't figure out what Qiao Zhi was doing.

"What is the player on stage 3 doing? Is he playing negatively?"

"Maybe it's some kind of ritual. Some chefs sharpen knives before cooking, others heat pots and pans, and there's no need to make a fuss. ”

"Red, you seem to be paying special attention to that Chinese chef!" said the French judge Husky in a strange tone.

Red from New Zealand smiled lightly: "Because I watched the match between him and Max, it was so meticulous, with his cooking skills, there is no problem in reaching the finals." When Blaise seeded the players, he ignored a king and created a dark horse out of thin air. ”

Husky and Blaise have a good personal relationship, "Blaise must have his own intentions, I think Qiao Zhi's competitive state on the field is obviously not as good as the seeded player Chen Xiandong." ”

The sailors in the live broadcast room have a special opinion of Qiao Zhi.

"Gang Leader Joe is confusing the opponents and judges again. ”

"Isn't this his usual routine? deliberately acting like he is mediocre, and when his work comes out, he will instantly startle everyone. ”

"Don't be nervous and strange, Gang Leader Qiao is just deliberately pretending to be a pig. ”

Mei Ling read out the barrage, and Tang Qi laughed so much that tears flowed out.

"No wonder Qiao Zhi's live broadcast room has always been so popular, this group of sailors is so cute. ”

"It turns out that everyone has known Qiao Zhi's style for a long time. It's a pity that his opponents, as well as the judges, didn't know that Qiao Zhi had this quirk. ”

While the judges were discussing, Qiao Zhi finished the preparations and walked in the direction of the food library.

The ingredients are rich in ingredients from various countries, such as German sausages, Italian cheese, Austrian ham, Norwegian seafood, some ingredients from other countries and regions, and of course, the most complete is a variety of spices.

World-class cooking competitions are generally based on French food, which is the most used type of food, with a variety of wines and a complete range of red wines on the shelves against the wall, which shows that the organizing committee has put a lot of effort.

Qiao Zhi found Oblak beef in the southwest corner, which was neatly classified according to different parts, and Qiao Zhi picked up a piece at random and looked at the color.

Definitely top notch beef, with a snowflake jade colour and condition.

Qiao Zhi chose the remaining side dishes, and what dishes he wanted to make, he already had an account in his heart.

Qiao Zhi did not regard Chen Xiandong as the main opponent, in his opinion, the five people on the field are all elites, and it is a pleasure to be able to compete with them.

"Aggressive", the cutting board made a sound when it came into contact with the kitchen knife, Qiao Zhi's wrist shook slightly and frequently, and the blade of the knife cut down diagonally at the same angle, cutting the ingredients into equal parts of uniform thickness.

The camera locked on Qiao Zhi, and the sailors in the live broadcast room were excited.

"Qiao Zhi's knife skills are really amazing, didn't someone say that Qiao Zhi's knife skills are average? Get out of here and eat your favorite." ”

"The way the gang leader Joe looks right now is really handsome. With serious eyes, a clean face, and steady knife skills, the male god Fan is too sufficient. ”

"I envy those fans who can come to the scene to cheer for Qiao Zhi in person! Alas, it's not that I don't have money to buy a plane ticket, it's just because I don't have time. However, when I get to the final, I'm definitely going to have to make time to go to France. ”

"Upstairs you can add me as a friend, and I'm planning to work with a travel agency to open a tour group to watch the World Culinary Contest in France. Everyone signed up for the group together, not to save money, but to hope that everyone would take care of it. ”

"The advertising dogs of the tour group have appeared, have the advertising fees been given? If you don't give them, get out of the live broadcast room. ”

......

Tang Qi touched his chin, and his face showed a sudden look, "Qiao Zhi is in good shape today, and I feel that it will surprise everyone." ”

Mei Ling smiled: "Isn't he like this every time? Let others think that he is doomed, and then come to a Jedi counterattack." ”

Tang Qi bowed slightly, "Xinguo has arranged the strongest lineup this time, Chen Xiandong is known as a young leader in the culinary industry of Xinguo, and it is very likely that he will become a national treasure." Everyone's expectations for him were high, but he was unlucky and met Qiao Zhi in the first round. ”

Mei Ling said: "In time, won't Qiao Zhi grow into a national treasure?"

Tang Qi was slightly stunned, and said with a faint smile: "Qiao Zhi only needs to achieve a good ranking in this World Cooking Competition and complete a breakthrough from zero to one, and he will become a national treasure." ”

Mei Ling shook her head, "You still underestimate Qiao Zhi, he is not just as simple as going from zero to one, he will surprise the whole world." ”

Tang Qi was stunned, and then smiled: "Aren't I modest." ”

Mei Ling smiled at Tang Qi and turned her attention to the stage.

Just after the two exchanged for a while, Qiao Zhi had already prepared the appetizer.

"Am I dazzled? The Chinese chef has already prepared the appetizer?"

"How did he do it? From picking up the ingredients to cutting them, it only took five minutes. ”

"It can't be raw, I feel like he's fooling everyone. ”

"It was supposed to be a formality, so he just tossed it casually, alas, it's a pity that these top ingredients, worth a thousand gold, were wasted in such a vain. ”

Red didn't expect that the first one that came to him was an appetizer cooked by Qiao Zhi, and the key was that Qiao Zhi made a platter of three different styles.

There are both cold and hot dishes, and in addition to smoked salmon and sea urchin slices, there is also braised beef.

The presentation is exquisite, there are many layers, and the color is mixed with sauce.

The three-course meal is like three small worlds, with broccoli, carrots and other vegetables dotted in between, adding to the bright atmosphere.

Generally, top-quality beef is mainly cooked on an iron plate, so that you can eat the original taste of beef.

Although braised beef is loved by many people, cooking it with Oblac beef seems too wasteful.
