She grabbed a note and looked at it and handed it to the staff, there were only two words on it - pumpkin!!

She said that she was lucky, and grinned, the pumpkin is relatively simple in the carving knife link, not only has a good shape, but also is relatively hard, and it is more convenient to cook later.

But in the same way, because it is so good, if you want to carve something more distinctive, you have to think more than ordinary people.

"Now, the carving knife competition has officially begun! I would like to remind the representatives of the teams that although there is no time limit for our competition, the time spent on the final production will affect the final result. ”

The little girl who presided over said softly, if she wants to change Lin Nan, she will most likely directly tell all the people in the competition that the speed of carving is too slow, so don't think about passing the test.

According to the rules of the competition, after the end of the flower knife carving, half of the 48 teams will be eliminated directly.

For Ma Tianyao, the difficulty of trying to get into the top 24 from these forty-seven first-class and super-grade chefs is undoubtedly the highest in history!

Most of the contestants in "The King of Chefs in the World" at that time were amateurs, but now those standing here are all top chefs elected by each province.

Hearing the start of the competition, all the contestants walked to their own operating table, and then, the volunteers on the scene helped to send them the carving materials they had drawn.

Forty-eight people, divided into six rows, each row of eight specially made worktops.

Ma Tianyao was a little crying and laughing when she got her pumpkin, and said that at first glance, she felt that the game was quite simple, but slowly she found that the game was not as simple as she thought.

The first is that the randomness of the ingredients carved by each person is too high, and what you draw is not necessarily what you are good at.

In addition, you have to cook the ingredients you get into a dish again after making them, and you can't add other side dishes.

You think that's the end of it?

Hehe......

When they got the ingredients, everyone realized that they were still too young, and even the categories of ingredients were randomly distributed......

For example, pumpkins.

When Ma Tianyao got her pumpkin, she almost thought that the staff had taken it wrong......

Most of our common pumpkins are yellow or green and black, mostly oblate in shape, and this kind of pumpkin is almost the same as watermelon when carved.

But the ...... on Ma Tianyao's table

But it's an arm-thick and crooked...... Belch...... Let's call it something.

The skin of this thing is blue-green, and it looks like a cucumber that has changed three or four times in size, but there are no cucumber burrs on the surface.

At the other people's tables, the situation was almost the same as hers.

She frowned and let the system identify it, and the information on all the pumpkins appeared instantly.

Pumpkin: a species of the genus Cucurbitaceae, an annual creeping herbaceous plant, the stem is often rooted, the petiole is stout, the leaves are broadly ovate or oval, the quality is slightly soft, the leaf veins are raised, the tendrils are slightly thick, monoecious, the fruit peduncle is stout, there are ridges and grooves, depending on the variety, there are often several longitudinal grooves or none outside, the seeds are numerous, oblong or oblong.

Now there are countless varieties of pumpkins in the world, and the more common ones in China are divided into honey pumpkin, yellow wolf pumpkin, large grinding pumpkin, small grinding pumpkin, beef leg pumpkin, and snake pumpkin.

What Ma Tianyao put in front of him is the so-called snake pumpkin!

Snake squash: medium-ripening variety, the fruit is serpentine-shaped, and the end where the seed cavity is located is not expanded. The flesh is dense, the taste is sweet and powdery, and the waxy nature is strong and the quality is good.

Ma Tianyao took a closer look, and said in her heart that this thing really looks like a snake, but unfortunately it is too thick, otherwise the crooked one should be more popular with women than cucumbers.

Then, pursing her lips and thinking, occasionally shaking her head, occasionally nodding, and after about five minutes, she chose one in front of a row of carving knives, held it in her hand, gestured at the snake pumpkin, and then began to carve.

Next to Ma Tianyao is Xu Youcai of the Yunnan Provincial Team, fifty-five this year, his head is shiny and hairless, and he is frowning at the moment looking at the black and pimple ingredients in front of him, and he is also so depressed that he vomits blood.

"I'll ...... Where are these bastards looking for iron potatoes? What the hell is this...... How do you carve it?"

Xu Youcai was quite happy to draw potatoes at the beginning, after all, potato carving is not only easy, but also easier when cooking later.

But I didn't expect that when I got my hands on it, I almost didn't squirt out the old blood.

He studied for five minutes before he figured out that what he was holding was indeed an iron potato!

Iron potato, the scientific name is black-skinned potato, is not a Chinese thing at all, this thing is produced in India, and it is not an authentic variety in India, to put it bluntly, it is not a wild potato that is not very suitable.

When ripe, the appearance is as black as charcoal, and the fruit is as hard as iron, and if you don't know what to do, you probably don't even know how to eat it.

Just when Xu Youcai was stunned at the black iron potato, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Ma Tianyao next to him move.

"Huh?"

At this time, he saw Ma Tianyao pick up a thin stalk and start to scratch on the snake pumpkin!

He looked at it, his eyes showing a little disdain, and he sneered quietly.

"Hmph, I don't know how thick the sky is, the snake pumpkin is not so easy to carve!"

Almost all the people on the scene did not move after getting the carved ingredients, and the carving flower knife was not as simple as imagined, especially the ingredients provided this time were all kinds of strange and strange things.

Flower knife carving, first you have to outline the outline of the thing that needs to be carved according to the size and shape of the ingredients, and then you can cut it.

So......

When everyone was thinking about it, only Ma Tianyao was the only one who made a strange move......

She first carved the body parts of the snake pumpkin with a fish scale knife, and then opened a 'skylight' at the tail of the pumpkin, and carefully pulled out the seeds in the snake pumpkin.

Then use the yin and yang knife to continue carving on the fish scale flower knife......

At this time, Xu Youcai finally woke up from his stunned state, picked up the knife and started to move against the iron potato.

As the minutes passed, the audience slowly began to become restless from the quiet, pointing at the carved things of the audience on the stage from time to time.

"Old Li seems to be a squirrel...... Tsk, it looks good......"

"Teacher Zhao's lucky boy is also very expressive!"

"Look, this little girl in Qinxi Province...... Ha ha...... I'm laughing to death, I'm still a snake pumpkin after a long time!"

"I've seen her use a knife to scratch for a long time, why is the pumpkin still a pumpkin, there is no change at all, what is she going to carve?"

"Hell knows, but at her age, I don't think anything will fall off......"

"That's the truth, after all, I'm too young......"

……

As the minutes passed, a middle-aged man in the middle suddenly let out a sigh, he looked left and right with a smile, and moved his neck.

It seems that the first one has finished carving!! I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Spicy Little Chef", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
