Kyoto has become particularly "lively" these days.

The billboards in the bus stops and subway stations on the street have been replaced with a new warm yellow advertising painting, and the huge "World Baking Competition" in the main logo is particularly eye-catching.

On the streets, in the alleys, and in the alleys, from time to time, several international faces from all over the world appear.

At the Kyoto Big Sight Center in the heart of the city, "Minions" dressed in warm yellow volunteer costumes walk back and forth by the door, and large trucks seem to be carrying heavy things in and out.

All this seems to indicate that the long-awaited World Baking Competition is about to begin.

However, before this event, there is also a regional final in China, which will be held at today's Kyoto International Expo Center.

The Kyoto Baking Association's pre-competition preparation is very simple, as long as the baking utensils, baking materials, judges' seats, etc. are properly prepared, as for the seats in the audience seats, media interview seats, it is good to reserve a part, according to their expectations, 300 seats are prepared, 50 seats for the media is enough.

But I never expected that these seats were filled within half an hour of today's admission, and then the chairs were constantly moved out of the warehouse and placed on the empty space that had not been planned one by one, until the chairs were full, and there were still many spectators standing behind and tiptoeing to watch.

The audience looked around, and soon found the contestants they wanted to see, most of them came to Lou Qingyu, and among the more than 200 bakers in the audience, they were stunned to find the person they were looking for in three seconds.

"Sisters, take a look, the sixth in the first row, is it a baking little brother?"

"Yes, it's little brother!"

"The little brother is so good-looking, and he has strength, hey, the more I look at it, the more I like it!"

These fans who came to hear "Yu" are quite qualified, just sitting in the audience, occasionally whispering a word or two to.

"Is the baking contest very popular now, and why are there so many people?" the person who asked the question, an old member of the Kyoto Baking Association, looked back at the crowd behind him, and his face was a little confused.

In the past, in a national baking competition like this, the audience was a group of relatives and friends of the contestants, and a total of 100 people added up to quite good, but how did this year's painting style change so quickly?

The old member looked at the apprentice sitting next to him with a puzzled face, only to hear the apprentice leaning over and whispering in his ear, "Master, they should have come to see the little brother baking, Xu Xiaoluo, and Zheng Xuyao." ”

My own master is usually the style of old cadres, I don't like to watch things on the Internet, and I naturally don't know that baking has been all the rage some time ago, and it is no longer a niche circle.

The old member glanced at the bottom in surprise, "Little baking brother, is it the first issue of "Huaxia New Baking"?"

When he was teaching students in the academy before, he had also heard of the program "Huaxia New Baking", and even heard about the performance of this genius baker.

"You're right, master. ”

"Which one exactly? When he saw the girl, the old member's expression showed a touch of surprise again, but he didn't expect it to be a handsome girl, didn't he say that he was a baking little brother?

Could it be that the apprentice made a mistake?

At the same time, several bakers who were one or two rows away from Lou Qingyu gathered together and gossiped quietly, looking at this little baking brother who had only heard his name but had not seen him from time to time.

"Hey, hey, the one in front is the baking brother who has been very popular recently, right?"

"Yes, it's her!"

"Why is she so popular? It looks no different from us, it's just her appearance... It's just going to raise our average. ”

The boy who answered looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, and it was quite good to be able to reach the finals at this age, but the arrogance between his eyebrows made people feel a little uncomfortable, and his contempt and disdain for Lou Qingyu were clearly felt in his words.

"Young man, don't lemon, the little girl is really powerful, with her baking level on the show, she should be able to get a place in the international baking competition. A middle-aged man next to him couldn't help but say that he had watched the program "Huaxia New Baking" and had a strong affection for such a talented girl as Lou Qingyu.

"Uncle, this is not necessarily, don't forget that there are more than 30 five-star bakers on our field, and more than a dozen of them have represented us in Huaxia to participate in several World Baking Competitions. ”

"Huh, lad, don't you know?"

"What should I know?"

"Those who have participated in the World Baking Contest before, how do they qualify for this competition, you can ask about the Kyoto Baking Association's dirty rules are not only for them, but also for baking events. ”

"Therefore, it is conceivable that the real strength of these roasters selected by them will be at least seven or eight discounts, and it is only those of you who have been in the mix for a short time that they will feel that they have strength. ”

The young man's mouth opened a little wider, and at this moment, he felt that his three views had been washed, his mouth moved, and he asked hesitantly, "Then, isn't that Fang Jing also winning the championship on behalf of our Huaxia?"

"What kind of mountain did you young man come from, don't you even know some common sense in our baking circle?"

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced left and right at the side, and then lowered his voice and said, "Fang Jing not only has strength, but also has a very powerful background, who dares to stand in his way, so Fang Jing successfully participated, which is why, in the past ten years, only Fang Jing has won the championship and won the seven-star baker level." ”

Speaking of this, the corners of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched slightly, it seems that he has a long-standing grudge against the Kyoto Baking Association, if it weren't for the Kyoto Baking Association to control these qualifications, it is estimated that there will be a few more seven-star baking masters in China now!

You must know that as long as you win the championship of the World Baking Competition, and then win the championship of the Gold Cup Baking Competition in Country F and the Golden Roasting Competition in Country Y, as long as you win the three Grand Slams, you will be automatically promoted to a seven-star baking master.

As far as he knows, there are already three or four bakers in China who have won the other two honors, just short of the World Baking Competition, but this qualification is firmly controlled by the Kyoto Baking Association.

And those bakers can become high-star bakers, naturally they are not good-tempered, not easy to handle, how can they be coerced by the association, so several of them have stayed at the six-star level for more than ten years.

"Thank you for this uncle's popular science, I didn't expect the water in the baking circle to be so deep, according to what you said, then we are comparing here now, is it still meaningful?"

As soon as the words fell, the boy received a big roll of the uncle's eyes.

"Young man, I think you are off the Internet, right? In the past, the practice of the Kyoto Baking Association was exposed a few days ago, and the internal personnel of the Kyoto Baking Association have been greatly changed, and the state has also sent people to supervise the fairness of the event. ”

"If the qualification was decided, I wouldn't have wasted my time here. ”

"Needless to say, the game is ready to start. ”
