Chapter 301: World Baking Contest (17)
Add water, knead, stir, add water, knead...
Everyone was repeating these movements almost constantly, looking focused and serious, not daring to relax in the slightest, because kneading dough is the most important and crucial part of the baguette process.
No matter which country the player is, at this time, everyone is feeling the texture and elasticity of the "white dumplings" in their hands, and everything they touch with their fingertips is the basis for them to judge what to do next.
The cameraman moved the camera to Lou Qingyu at this time, not because of the girl's appearance, but because of the girl's whole state at this time, her attentive demeanor and the light in her eyes, which made people unable to take their eyes off.
Because of the kneading action, Lou Qingyu's sleeves were rolled up, revealing a slightly slender and white arm, although it seemed thin, but with the girl's kneading action, the thin and tight muscles on the arm tightened slightly, and each body joint of the arms, wrists, and fingers was exerting force, and the strength that erupted was no worse than that of other male bakers.
There were a lot of people in the audience who noticed this scene, and they could vaguely hear the praise of Lou Qingyu, Xi Yue, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't help but straighten up, as Xiao Yu's good girlfriend, he inexplicably felt that his face was full of face~
At this moment, in the row behind them, the voices of two young men talking in English could be heard clearly.
"That Chinese girl is so amazing!" The man who spoke was a foreigner, wearing a simple black T-shirt and light brown trousers, with short dark brown hair casually draped, and his deep and prominent facial features made him look handsome and handsome.
At this time, his blue eyes were firmly fixed on Lou Qingyu below, and the appreciation and admiration flashing in his eyes were not concealed at all.
He is a five-star baker from country A, but unfortunately, he met a favorite to win the championship in country Y yesterday, and was eliminated by the opponent by 0.3 points, and today he can only sit in the audience and watch the next game.
It's just that he didn't expect that among the contestants who hadn't been noticed by him yesterday, there would be such a girl, just looking at it like this, before she spoke, and didn't know her name, it directly made his heart pound, and his heart seemed to burn little by little.
His friend David, who was sitting next to him, heard his admiration, and his eyes followed his direction, and he saw a cold and white oriental face.
Then he asked uncertainly, "George, is that Huaxia girl the one who won the first place yesterday?"
"Yes, it's her, isn't she beautiful and exquisite?She looks super like a Huaxia doll!" George said with a hint of excitement and excitement, and his eyes sparkled, "David, do you think it's okay for me to go to her for contact information later?"
"Of course it's no problem, you're the school grass of Country A's baking school, what girl can escape your charm?" Davy said with a wink, "But the girl from the East, I've heard that you're more shy, you might have to be patient." ”
"Of course I will!" George frantically tugged at his friend's arm, trying to calm himself down, then looked down at the clothes on his body, and said with some unease, "Do you think it's okay for me to dress up today?"
It seems that as long as the game is over, he will come forward to talk to Lou Qingyu as soon as possible.
"Yes, you can kill all the men in the audience in seconds..."Davy said as he spoke, and the rest of the words paused for a moment, and for some reason, the look on his face became a little stiff, and his pupils shrank slightly, as if he was frightened by something.
"David, what's wrong with you?" George followed his friend's gaze forward, and the next second, his body froze.
The tall man sitting in front of them turned his head at some point, and at this moment his eyes were as deep as ink, and his handsome face was a little dark, as if he had been angered by someone or something.
Even if he was sitting below, even if he was looking up at the two of them, his eyes looked like a kind of cold ice from above, which inexplicably made them dare not speak anymore.
Shen Ziyi's eyes looked at George, the posture of scanning up and down was not polite at all, and the cold eyes made him even more difficult to mess with, and he sneered coldly on his lips, and asked George directly, "You are also a baker?"
"Yes, what's the problem?" George swallowed his saliva secretly, this man's momentum was terrifying.
Hearing George's answer, the corners of Shen Ziyi's mouth rose slightly, but his smile was tinged with a hint of coldness, "Of course there is a problem! An eliminator who didn't even make it to the first round, what qualifications does she have to ask for contact information?"
George's face turned pale and blue, and now, he knew the reason why the man in front of him looked at him so much, it turned out that he was also the suitor of the Chinese girl, but he was not so easily forced to retreat.
"Excuse me, what is the identity of this gentleman, what star is it..."
However, before George finished asking that question, he only heard the man in front of him who made him hate him, and said with a smile in his voice, "I'm her seven-star boyfriend." ”
...
Damn, it's so annoying!
George was blocked by this sentence and had nothing to say, and he couldn't even imagine how anyone could claim to be a seven-star boyfriend, even if Shen Ziyi turned around with satisfaction, George's dissatisfied gaze often swept over his back.
Time passed slowly when George and Shen Ziyi secretly clashed, and someone finally handed his baguette to the judges, it was a strange baker from Country X, and the baguette in his hand looked pretty good.
However, after the eleven judges judged the scores, a bright red score of 6.91 appeared behind the contestant, and many viewers couldn't help but be surprised, this score is too low, right?
But it wasn't until the scores of more than a dozen contestants came out that they didn't know that the score of 6.91 was not too low, and then there were several worse than the first score, it seems that this baguette is really difficult to make, and the scores given by the judges are not high!
"Oh my God, Joyce is 9.45!"
"He can get this score for such a difficult question as baguette?
"His opponent is in danger. ”
The six-star baker in Huaxia could vaguely hear the surrounding discussions, but fortunately, he was experienced and had a very stable mentality, and he was not swayed by these remarks, only focusing on the bread in the oven, and soon his work was completed.
In the burning eyes of all the audience, he held his work in front of the judges, the golden brown bread was baked and crispy, cut by the baker piece by piece, and the cream-colored bread core exuded a rich wheat aroma, mixed with the slightly sour flavor of natural fermentation.
"Well done, the wheat is very strong. ”
"I like that the core of the bread is a bit tough and chewy. ”
Listening to the judges' seemingly positive comments, the audience behind them and the audience in front of the TV couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope, our national contestant's score should not be too bad, right?
However, the next second after the score was announced, disappointment and frustration permeated everyone's faces, and their highest-star baker in China finally scored 9.23 points, a gap of more than 0.2 points with Joyce!
At this time, Huaxia's hope of winning the championship has been reduced by a few points, and the hope can only be placed in the remaining players, Pu Yucheng, Lou Qingyu and another five-star baker in his forties.
Especially Lou Qingyu, yesterday single-handedly increased Huaxia's winning rate by several points, which made many viewers particularly optimistic about her, maybe she can really win the championship!
