It was until late at night, Qian Shicai fell asleep in his thoughts, and the next day's sunshine also kicked off the prelude to the next cooking competition.

At this time, Gongsun Cailiang also summoned all the apprentices of the Morning Department, even if they were eliminated people, they were all gathered here at this moment, Gongsun Cailiang stood in front of him with a solemn expression, because the apprentices of the Morning Department, except for Qian Shi and them, only one of them passed the first three rounds of the general examination, and this has not yet been finalized.

According to his estimates, it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out at that time, if it weren't for the accident with the two disciples of Qian Shi and Bai Yiyi, his morning department would really be about to refresh the worst results in history, it is really God's favor, now there is no need to think about anything else, looking at the field, especially Qian Shi and a few other people who successfully passed the test, he said slowly: "You should all know about the next competition, but some details still have to be told to you." ”

"From now on, the play-in tournament to the final winner of the final selection is the most direct draw competition, one-on-one, and it is also the first head-to-head confrontation between Zuixianlou and Pearl Begonia, because the opponents you draw will be Pearl Begonia's people, and they will not draw their own people. ”

Hearing this, Qian Shi asked, "Teacher Gongsun, is the number of places in the finals half of the Drunken Immortal Tower and Pearl Begonia each standing?"

When Gongsun Cailiang heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: " How is it possible, if that's the case, how can we talk about the competition, then it's really a friendly exchange, pearl begonias have always wanted to replace us, the competition of the play-in competition is three hundred people by lottery, each person will conduct more than a dozen competitions, more than one win, according to the ranking shortlisted, take the top 120, that is, the number of promotion shortlists, and among these people it is possible that there are 100 apprentices of pearl begonias, 20 people are apprentices of drunken fairy buildings, of course, I am just an example, although it is unlikely, but this situation can exist in theory。 ”

Qian Shi listened to Gongsun Cailiang's explanation, and also understood in his heart, it seems that this is the real competition, and it is also the essence of the Kitchen Dao Conference, the purpose is also to see which side is stronger, the result of the apprentice competition is obvious, which side is superior is enough to explain the problem.

However, Qian Shi had one more question at this time, looked at Teacher Gongsun and said: "Since this is the case, the number of people on both sides is different, so in the subsequent competition, if there are more people on one side and fewer people on the other, especially when the gap is large, how should they compete with each other?"

Gongsun Cailiang explained: " The number of participants in the next play-in competition is basically about the same, or the competition in turns, there is no problem, and then there may be the kind of situation you said, especially after the selection, a game of elimination, if the two sides face off if the number of people is larger, there will be no opponent, between the rules of the competition and for the sake of fairness, they will face their own people, although this is also a great advantage, because they will have a person to advance, and the personnel transfer is also very arbitrary, and even release water from each other, but this is understandable, everything is subject to strength。 ”

Now everyone also understands, which side will naturally take the lead with more people, and this is also a statement of strength, there is no problem, and the heart is also looking forward to the drunken immortal building, especially those who have been eliminated, after all, they are also the people of the drunken immortal building, and they are all prosperous, if the drunken immortal building loses in this kitchen conference and falls behind, they are all shameless as apprentices.

While all the apprentices were preparing, the gift bags were also lit in the field, and today's cooking conference finally officially opened, and the sound of gongs and drums also sounded, accompanied by the cheers of the audience.

And this time, in addition to Guo Yang, there are two more hosts, a man and a woman, looking at the identity is not low, the bearing is extraordinary, and the cultivation power on the body is also good, after saying some unnutritious words, they introduced several famous judges, either the chef in Dongpo City, or the celebrity of the Northern Regions, and for a time it also won a round of applause from the audience.

The competition was also launched immediately, the round-robin competition of the three hundred people is huge, not a day or two can end, this kind of multi-person round-robin competition is to be carried out more than a thousand, and the items of the competition are also different for each game, all according to the various cuisines on the Tianhua continent as the theme, or special ingredients to compete with each other.

The field is also divided into several areas, the arena for simultaneous competition, although there are more than 300 people, but it is nothing in this food venue, a venue that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, these people are very spacious in the field, and not everyone has to play in each competition, it is carried out at one time according to the order of drawing.

And under the watchful eye, everyone's first round of lottery was also completed, and the first five competitions of each apprentice disciple also had results, and at the same time, this information was also posted on the big screen of fluorescent, so that the audience had more expectations, especially those more famous disciples, their competition was a lot of people's attention, and even the gambling houses in the city also opened the bet, there are guess winners, there are guess finalists, in short, there is everything, it can be described as varied, and it is a small carnival for people.

And a lot of dealers in this kind of gambling house are actually opened by the organizers of the Kitchen Conference, or the food power of Dongpo City, and even the drunken fairy building is also somewhat involved, although this kind of thing will not be mentioned on the surface, after all, it is not something that can be elegant, but behind the scenes, everyone is relishing, that is a large amount of Tianhua coins, who doesn't want to take this opportunity to make a profit, and the food forces in Dongpo City want to get a piece of the pie, so this kind of thing has gradually become everyone's default。

In addition to these, all the apprentices who participated in the cooking competition were also busy, studying their opponents, thinking about the winning strategy, after all, so many competitions can win one more point for each more chance of promotion, now is a critical moment, who doesn't want to win a good result, attract applause from all parties.

And Qian Shi also drew an opponent at this time, a total of five competitions are all apprentices of Pearl Begonia, but I don't know him by looking at the name, but Qian Shi's competition is not today but tomorrow, after all, there are many people, and many apprentice disciples are not on the first day of the competition.

After the schedule was determined, the competition in the field was also carried out one by one, and all kinds of dishes and ingredients also appeared in the field, and people applauded and Qian Shi sighed in the stands, this cooking competition is really exciting, everyone is also extraordinary, and it is really the pinnacle of the young generation of chefs in the Northern Regions.

On the first day of the competition, Bai Yiyi and Sun Jiuwei appeared in five cooking competitions, and the results were not bad, Bai Yiyi did not win all five games unexpectedly, and the dishes were also praised by the judges, and because of her previous wonderful performance in ingredient appreciation, there are many people who pay special attention to her, so many people are waiting to see Bai Yiyi's schedule.

And the fat son Jiuwei is not as smooth as Bai Yiyi, winning three of the five games and losing two, although he didn't win all, but it's okay, after all, this kind of round-robin, there are still many games in the next few days, as long as you can keep this momentum, it is still very promising.

In this way, the play-in tournament was carried out extremely fiercely, for a total of five consecutive days, and the audience was full every day, and the gambling house in the city also became a large gathering place, many gamblers also studied and analyzed the comprehensive strength of each apprentice, and guessed, Qian Shi also joined the arena and showed his own style of dishes, Gu Qingyan's senior's guidance, although Qian Shi was not able to fully grasp it at this time, but it was a big improvement, that is a deeper understanding of ingredients and dishes, and some of the dishes he was not familiar with in the test became less tricky。

And in five days, all the apprentices who participated in the competition also completed all the competitions, and the victory statistics and shortlisted places were also released, Qian Shi and Bai Yiyi both won fifteen games, and it also caused a small sensation in the Drunken Immortal Building, because the people who won the Drunken Immortal Building round-robin were counted as only five people in total, in addition to the two of them, they were Gu Hongping, Deng Hao, Yuan Yao, which was expected by everyone, but Qian Shi and Bai Yiyi were a topic of conversation, the two dark horses of this morning.

And in addition to Qian Shi and Bai Yiyichen, the other people were not very smooth, and they were eliminated one after another, Zhao Yiman also stopped in this fierce entry match, maybe it was his bad luck, because Zhao Yiman actually met Mu Fei and Fan Chengyan of Pearl Begonia successively, and lost in a row, and several opponents after that were also strong, although Zhao Yiman's last few games played well and won a few games, but he couldn't reverse the situation.

And Li Cai, this kid, also paid the price for the "chic behavior" on weekdays, although his cooking skills are good, but he is too lax, and he missed the cooking competition after that, although Li Cai's results are okay, the victory or defeat is mixed, but he was squeezed out by the pearl begonia disciples with the same results, the reason is that several of his dishes are too strange, the score is lower and he lost the place, what a big knife meat, full of stars, snow mountain flying fox, so that the judges are full of black lines.

Shangguan, Qingxue They also failed, but Sun Jiuwei successfully entered the shortlist, which made Gongsun Cailiang happy for a while, there are three people in the morning department is already good, although there is no advantage compared to the other departments of the Drunken Immortal Building, but it is not the worst bottom, it is much better than before, and he is even more confident in Qian Shi and Bai Yiyi, and he also knows it very well, presumably it should not be difficult to enter the heavenly selection and win.
