As soon as it was stirred, there was a clanging sound, and the five-minute time had already arrived, and she looked up, and sure enough, the hourglass in front of the judges' table had been cleaned.

At this time, she looked at the bald uncle next to her with her spare eyes, and almost didn't laugh out loud.

The bald uncle has a cucumber on the board, and he hasn't cut it with a knife......

"Okay, it's time, first of all, 81, 83, 90, please leave the scene!"

The judges are really not shocking, they didn't look at it, the three of them have been eliminated, Ma Tianyao sweated in her heart, thinking that it would not be a random selection of lucky ones, this elimination is too child's play, you can take a look at the dishes made by others.

As soon as I finished muttering, I listened to the judges in the middle explain with a smile.

"As a chef, not only do you have to make delicious dishes, food safety is the top priority, the three of you have even saved the link of washing vegetables, may I ask the three, do you cook at home without washing vegetables?"

The three of them were embarrassed and wanted to explain something, their faces were flushed, and the chief director waved his hand, and the three of them could only turn around and leave the scene.

"No. 89, although you washed this cucumber very cleanly, the rule of our game is to make cold dishes within five minutes, so ......"

No. 89 is the bald uncle next to Ma Tianyao, I didn't expect this person to be ashamed at all, hehe smiled and nodded, and seemed to be quite humble about the judges' words.

"Alright, let's bring the rest of the cold dishes to them. ”

Yes, it can be 30 seconds, four have been eliminated, the remaining six people came to the stage with plates, put it in front of the judges' table, the three judges did not eat and looked first, and then nodded or shook their heads, about ten seconds, before each picked up the chopsticks and began to taste, some ate a bite and vomited, and some just picked up and smelled.

However, when the three judges tasted Ma Tianyao's shallots, they all frowned, and then glanced at each other, and the one on the left tasted a second bite, nodded and put down the chopsticks.

The three judges looked at each other and seemed to have an idea, but the one in the middle smiled and spoke.

"First of all, I want to congratulate the six of you, these six dishes, strictly speaking, have met our minimum requirements, barely cold dishes. However, No. 82 and No. 84, you just flattened the cucumber and added a little vinegar, whether it is the taste or the aesthetics of the plating, it is too bad. ”

The judge on the right nodded in agreement, and commented on other people's.

"No. 85, 86, and 87, one of you is sliced, one is diced, and the other is sliced, and some of them add salt to it, add monosodium glutamate, etc., but maybe because of time, you cut it too thickly, and the taste is not integrated at all, and the most important thing is that you don't taste the taste of cucumber at all......"

"The smell of cucumbers?"

Everyone who said this was stunned, especially these three, who said that you will be eliminated if you are eliminated, why are you looking for so many reasons? What else can the taste of cucumber be special?

As a result, it was really a slap in the face, the judges waved their hands, and the three of them picked up the cucumbers washed by the bald uncle and tasted them, but their faces all changed.

"This, this, this...... This cucumber ...... Why is it sweet?"

Contest No. 86 seemed to be an outsider, talking to himself in a funny dialect, and the judges smiled and spoke.

"Hehe, everyone, this is not an ordinary cucumber, don't you see that there are no thorns on these cucumbers? This is an improved fruit cucumber, because the taste is sweet and crisp, so it is suitable for raw consumption, but you basically add vinegar to it, can this taste good?"

The three contestants each looked aggrieved, and the judge asked with a smile.

"As chefs, you can't even understand the ingredients in your own hands, this really shouldn't be......"

After that, he looked at the judge on the left again, and the judge on the left smiled and smiled.

"Now I'm going to comment on the cold dish of No. 88, this should be a dish of tofu mixed with shallots, right? Unfortunately, we didn't prepare tofu today, but ...... Just say that your knife work is the best among the ten, you see, the green onion white and green onion leaves, cut out of the same size, shape, this shows the knife work of the No. 88 player, hehe, from this point of view, the No. 88 player should be no problem in the next round of qualifiers. ”

The judge seemed to particularly like this half-cut tofu with shallots, picked up the chopsticks and tasted it again, smiled and nodded.

"The taste of this cold dish is also superb, the combination and proportion of various condiments are appropriate, by the way, this player, I want to ask, your green onion leaves and green onions are cut into diamond shapes, do you want to add points to the plating?"

A plate of diamond-shaped green onion leaves is green, green onion white is white, and when mixed together, it looks like a diamond-shaped gemstone, which looks really a bit of a sensory treat, of course, this is just a comparison with the cucumber next to it.

Ma Tianyao smiled and shook his head.

"No, I...... The reason why I cut it into a diamond shape is to make the green onion leaves taste better, and if you cut it diagonally, the adhesion surface of the green onion will increase, and the taste can be improved faster in a short time. ”

Speaking of this, the three judges looked at each other, to be honest, they didn't think about what Ma Tianyao said, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at the moment.

The judges in the middle looked at the two on both sides with a smile, bowed their heads and exchanged a few words, and then announced to the camera.

"Okay, the competition in this group is almost over, I announce, the 81st to 90th group is the one who advances, the No. 88 player! Congratulations!"

When Ma Tianyao heard this result, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and opened her mouth to reveal a super ugly smile.

"Guess...... Why didn't I cut this cucumber?"

Ma Tianyao turned his head to look at him, but he couldn't answer, and said in his heart...... Could it be that this neurotic bald uncle didn't know what to do because he found out that this cucumber was not an ordinary cucumber?

If that's the case, then this uncle is really a master, at least a little smarter than the other players.

Thinking of this, she was a little afraid, looked at the three judges and the fruit and vegetable warehouse behind, smacked her tongue secretly, and said in her heart that this is a fruit and vegetable warehouse, which is obviously a trap for all the contestants.

Generally, if the contestant goes in, five minutes, if you don't think about it carefully, you will definitely choose the best cucumber, but if you really choose a cucumber, you will completely enter the trap of others, and this kind of fruit cucumber will be treated as an ordinary cucumber with vinegar, then it will be over.

At this time, Ma Tianyao found out that this competition was far from as simple as he thought, touched his forehead, he was already sweating, and he didn't know whether it was hot or scared.

Going down to the stage, the assistant director gave her a piece of paper.

"This is the time and place of the next competition, remember to be prepared to participate, otherwise it will be considered a waiver. ”

Leaving this sentence, the poor assistant director hurriedly ran to the director again to be scolded.
