CH.63 The Battle of Desserts

As it turned out, Zheng Ke's worries were not superfluous.

This cooking arena that can accommodate two thousand people, the number of people at the moment, no more than two hundred, even if there are other students coming in as time passes, it should be less than five hundred.

And the more than 100 people who have already been present, and half of them are fans of David, pulling banners and holding posters, cheering for David.

I don't know if Anie's little Nizi will be discouraged when she sees these people.

Zheng Ke and Catherine found a relatively backward position to sit down, their eyes were just level with the big screen above the arena, and they could observe everything in the arena through the big screen.

About another 10 minutes passed, and a dozen more students came in.

A boy in a blue school uniform walked onto the stage and introduced the judges of the competition to the audience.

Because the topic of this time is dessert, the teacher invited is also a pastry chef from three star-rated restaurants, two men and one woman.

Zheng Ke guessed that the three judges should be depressed after hearing the applause.

"Next, there are the two contestants in this competition, Anelle in the second grade, and David in the first grade!"

This time, the applause was a big improvement over the previous ones, not only loud, but also very neat, and at the same time, there were neat slogans.

David smiled and waved at his fans, and screams were heard again.

"So popular?" Zheng Ke said curiously.

"There are a lot of nymphomaniac, no way. Catherine shrugged her shoulders with a helpless expression.

Zheng Ke rarely saw Catherine say such a thing, and she couldn't laugh or cry.

On the other side of the arena, Anielle looked calmer, as if she was not affected by the audience.

After all, people who have participated in the-blue are not the same in terms of cooking skills and mentality.

Before the-blue, Zheng Ke was assigned to the lower half of the district, and he was either playing or preparing the dishes for the game every day. Unless it's a particularly exciting game, he hardly has time to watch it, and strictly speaking, this is the first time Zheng Ke has watched Anier's game in its entirety. Therefore, he also had a little curiosity about Anier's cooking skills.

"Don't expect too much, I've heard people say that the quality of her desserts is only average. Catherine reminded.

"Huh?" Zheng Ke glanced at Anell, who was holding her head up, and she was speechless. People who don't know, do you really think that he is confident?

After the host said "the game starts", the two people immediately took out their respective ingredients from the cart.

Zheng Ke's vision also moved to the big screen.

Annele poured the sugar and water into the pot and brought to a boil while the spoon was stirring.

"What is Anier doing?" asked Zheng Ke softly.

"Make meringues. Catherine explained.

Zheng Ke suddenly realized, and then remembered that in the few books given by Orens, there was indeed an introduction to this aspect.

There are three types of meringue commonly used in Western pastries, which are French, Swiss, and Italian.

French is often used for shaping or baking, Swiss is used for squeezing, and Italian is often used for mousse because of its firm and smooth texture.

Of the three methods, Italian is slightly more cumbersome. So, sometimes, some people use other types of meringue in order to be lazy.

Zheng Ke is such a typical representative.

However, the three judges of this competition are all pastry chefs from star-rated restaurants, and their control of details is definitely stronger than that of ordinary judges. To be on the safe side, Aniele can only cook as rigorously as possible.

Ainier poured the egg whites from the eggs into a small bowl, quickly whipped them firmly, and then slowly handed them into Tang Jian, stirring constantly, and the meringue gradually took shape. She then fills the meringue in a tray and bakes it in the oven.

Zheng Ke nodded again and again, from the current point of view, Aine's strength is indeed very strong. Of course, in terms of desserts, she may not be Akane Kubo's opponent yet, but her strength is not desserts, and if she changes to other types, Akane Kubo Momo is estimated to not last long.

Judging from the current strength alone, Aniele is not inferior to Kobayashi Gentian.

"Aniel is a player sent by Lanji in the qualifying round, right?" Zheng Ke asked in a low voice.

"That's right, how do you know?" Catherine didn't remember, she mentioned it to Zheng Ke.

"She's also a The-Blue contestant, and she has also entered the knockout round, and Lanji's third year has not participated, so her strength will definitely be affected. Zheng Ke explained, "By the way, who is your other second-year contestant?"

"The other, it's him. Catherine pointed to the arena.

Zheng Ke looked in the direction of Catherine's finger, was slightly stunned, and said uncertainly: "Isn't this the host?"

"yes? Host is his side hustle. He's a great cook. "Actually, he didn't do it all for fun. Serving as a host can give him access to more celebrity chefs, even three-star chefs, and these connections can play a big role after graduation. ”

Zheng Ke bowed slightly, it may be that since he entered the middle department, some people have already planned their way out after graduation, and this situation is not uncommon.

And the host is holding his hands to his chest at the moment, with a shallow smile on his face, not to mention his strength, but his aura looks very sufficient.

"I suddenly felt a little sorry not to be able to play against you. Zheng Ke said.

"Why?" asked Catherine, puzzled.

"The players in Lanji are very good. Zheng Ke rubbed his chin and said.

"Come onβ€”if you dare to win the match against Lanji, after entering Lanji, it is estimated that a large number of people will scold you. ”

"It's true. Zheng Ke sighed.

"And, a player. You can only play a maximum of two games in a row. That is, you can only participate in a maximum of 4 matches. There's nothing wrong with you resting that game and giving it to Lanji. Catherine continued.

"Yes. Zheng Ke nodded.

He didn't like the rule very much.

If the current known process is followed, each school of choice is almost every two days, and the player can easily get enough rest, at least, he feels that there is nothing wrong with his physical strength.

However, there is a certain reason for the organizers to do this, and it can't be said that if three students from a school win the final victory, this school is the world's No. 1 famous school, right?

The sample should be large enough to make the results of the competition more convincing, which is also the idea of the organizing committee.

Moreover, if a school can send five first-class students in such a competition and finally win the championship, it also shows that this school definitely has the strength to stand on top of the world.
