Red wine, because of its dark color, is in many cases used in the cooking of meat, and it is also often used in the cooking of poultry and game. In the case of liquor, it is often used in seafood dishes.

Zheng Ke's use of beef, as well as the quail used by Ye Qiuling, are also based on this reason.

In fact, not only Zheng Ke, but other people in the same group used plum meat and mutton, and the reason was the same.

Zheng Ke took out the pan, poured salad oil into the pan, and then put the chopped onion into the pan and stir-fried. Because onions are mainly used for fragrance, the amount used by Zheng Ke is not too much. After the fragrance wafted out, Zheng Ke added black pepper to taste.

The game time of the group stage is only two hours, and there is not much time left for each player, so not only Zheng Ke, but others also choose more familiar dishes.

This dish is so common that even some food lovers can make it. However, it is especially important to make the cuisine new.

However, the more skilled you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes during the cooking process. For a limited time, it is impossible to give them time to redo it. So, be cautious every step of the way.

Group stages like this, which are usually just to test the basic skills of the players, and the format of eliminating only one person also tells the five players in each group that you don't have to do your best, you just need to eliminate your opponents.

Shino Suga looked nervously at the big screen.

If he was in Japan, he would never be as nervous as he is now. Because at the same age, there are only a handful of people who can win against Zheng Ke.

But this is the finals of the-blue, and everyone's strength is almost on the same level, even if a few people are a little weaker, you can get a balance from the topic.

More importantly, the strength of the other people in Zheng Ke's group should not be underestimated.

As the editor-in-chief of a well-known Japanese magazine, of course he knows Ye Qiuling, because Ye Qiuling served as the chief of the Ten Masters in Yuanyue Academy. The other three chefs also have very solid basic skills, and at first glance they are the leaders of each country.

Out of the five, only one was eliminated, so the probability of being eliminated in the group stage was really small, but seeing this fierce scene, his heart was pounding. Inadvertently, his hands were stained with sweat.

Zheng Ke, you must come on.

Suga Shino clasped his hands together and prayed silently in his heart.

In the VIP seat, a middle-aged man with black hair and blue eyes, looked at the field boredly, but never took his eyes off Catherine in Group A.

"What do you think of your daughter's cooking?"

A young woman with long wavy black hair, nestled on the shoulders of a middle-aged man, looked at Catherine in the arena with a loving expression.

"Well, if I were a judge, I would probably like her food more. The middle-aged man glanced at the other four people and said casually.

"Perfunctory, don't you think I know? You just look at me and deliberately please me. The young woman sat up straight, her face full of disdain.

"Natalie, you're really wrong. If I were to be a judge, only two people would pass without tasting. The middle-aged man said with a serious face.

"Which two? one of them is our daughter, and who is the other?" asked Natalie in a whisper.

"The Oriental player. The middle-aged man's eyes swept on, Cheng Huaizhi's body.

"What is the reason why you are optimistic about Catherine and the oriental chef?" asked Natalie, puzzled.

"There is a small trap in the question of Group A. The middle-aged man said.

"Traps?" Natalie looked up at the big screen, "you mean—tomato?"

"That's right. Tomatoes are an ingredient that is often used in Western cuisine. This ingredient is used in both formal entrees and home-cooked dishes such as pasta and rice. But on such occasions, the chances of using pasta are slim because they are not sure of their opponent's cuisine. If it is used as a main dish...... Well, tomatoes are easy to garnish with. ”

"These contestants, who are either chefs in various restaurants or students at prestigious schools, shouldn't they make such mistakes?"

"That's hard to say. When they only have half an hour to think about cooking, they choose the dishes they are better at. Tomatoes, on the other hand, can be used as a garnish without spoiling the flavor of the main course. So, it's possible for them to save time thinking. And make the main course they are familiar with—"

"My lovely daughter—" At this point, the middle-aged man with a serious face immediately narrowed his eyes, "It's obvious that tomatoes are easy to incorporate into the dish, and if I'm not mistaken, her dish should be tomato stewed pork, while that Oriental player is lazy, he uses tomato soup." ”

"So, the first place is the daughter?"

"Not necessarily, the Dongfang player's basic skills are very solid, and he is a strong contender for the first place. The middle-aged man rubbed his chin and said.

"Ahem, which of these contestants do you think you are most optimistic about the same age as your daughter?" Natalie gently poked the middle-aged man.

"The same age, I think the Oriental player in the same group as my daughter is good. The middle-aged man looked at Cheng Huaizhi and said.

“…… There are so many people in the arena, you can't just look at one, right?"

"Aniel, too...... The ear-haired Oriental player of the B family is also good, but he is a little short. The middle-aged man looked at Nakaei Hata, pondered for a moment and then shook his head, "However, his cuisine feels like he is imitating something...... Not as natural as the Oriental player in Group A. As for Group C, Bayer doesn't need me to say more, right?"

When the middle-aged man said this, his eyes skimmed to Que Zhengqing's body, and after a pause for half a minute, he said 'strange'.

"What's wrong?" said Natalie.

"No, I just think that person's cooking skills are not bad, but the movements are a little awkward, and I don't often cook Western food. ”

Natalie nodded, coughed lightly, but her eyes were aimed at Zheng Ke's body, "What do you think of Group D?"

"Group D?" the middle-aged man shifted his gaze to Group D, "It's not bad, I'm quite optimistic." ”

"Really?" Natalie secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Well, his quail is handling pretty well. The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.

"Quail?" Natalie didn't react for a while, she looked at the arena again, and saw Ye Qiuling putting the pickled quail in the pot to fry.

This bastard actually cares about him......

"What do you think of another teenager from Group D?" asked Natalie quickly.

"Another?" The middle-aged man's gaze had just moved to Zheng Ke's body, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, "Please come in." ”

The middle-aged man turned his head, and the door opened, and a blue-haired, blue-eyed burly Frenchman walked in, followed by a man with messy hair and a stubble face.

"Chef Milne, Lady Natalie, long time no see. The Frenchman said.

"Teacher Marcus, and Teacher Orens, why are you here?" the middle-aged man quickly stood up. 10
