Episode 303 Breakfast

Zheng Ke returned to the dormitory at three o'clock in the morning to rest. He handed over the carefully brewed stock to the staff and asked them to put it away properly, which he was going to use in the group stage.

The content of the third group is soup, and this topic has high requirements for dashi. Therefore, compared with the broth prepared by the organizers, Zheng Ke believes in his own cooking skills.

In particular, this is Huaxia, and the cooking method of Huaxia soup stock is different from Western food. The broth in Chinese cuisine uses more pork or bones, so the flavor is stronger, while the western broth will use more spicy vegetables for seasoning, such as celery, carrots, onions, spice bunches and other materials, and the taste of the broth, in addition to being rich, will also have a fresh fragrance.

In this competition, Xiao Han insisted on letting him cook Western food, which should also be to check whether his Western food is authentic, plus he has to compete with Que Zhengqing and Luke for two qualifying places, so Zheng Ke must do the best in every detail.

Zheng Ke only tried to make the soup twice, but due to the correction of the cooking notes, the soup also has a high quality.

When I got up the next day, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, and after washing, I went to the first floor for breakfast, and found that there were many people in the restaurant with black eyes, and they should have stayed up all night.

Zheng Ke took a sip of eight-treasure porridge, picked up a shrimp dumpling, and just put it in his mouth, he saw a person sitting opposite him with breakfast.

The man sat down, yawning, his eyes half-open and half-closed, as if he hadn't woken up.

"Yo, Lao Que, you won't have an all-nighter, right?" Zheng Ke waved his hand and greeted Que Zhengqing, who was sitting opposite him.

This voice ...... It's annoying!

Que Zhengqing opened his eyes lazily and saw Zheng Ke sitting in front of him with a smile, looking at him with both eyes, and at the same time putting a spoonful of eight-treasure porridge into his mouth.

"Eh, why are you here?" said Que Zhengqing in surprise.

"Please, I came first. I should say that. Zheng Ke said lightly shaking the soup spoon.

Que Zhengqing rubbed his forehead, he was really tired and confused.

"Hey, Lao Que, I asked you, but you haven't said it yet?" Zheng Ke asked.

"What do you ask me?" Que Zhengqing frowned and glared at Zheng Ke.

After knowing that the person sitting in front of him was Zheng Ke, Que Zhengqing's sleepiness disappeared mostly, and his eyes were blurred, and there was finally a glimmer of light.

Well, this guy really stayed up late.

For questions that already knew the answer, Zheng Ke was not interested in asking any further.

At this time, another person came over with breakfast.

Zheng Ke turned his head to look, only to find that it was Luke who also looked tired.

When Luke saw Zheng Ke, he nodded slightly, "Can this be done?"

"Yes. ”

"No, you can't!"

Zheng Ke and Que Zhengqing said the exact opposite.

Luke glanced at Que Zhengqing and sat down directly, "I'm asking Mr. Zheng, not you!"

"Hmph!" Que Zhengqing angrily picked up a small steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Are you still used to eating early in Huaxia?" asked Zheng Ke.

"Ok, the breakfast was more varied than in Milan and the dishes were exquisite. My impression of Chinese cuisine has changed a lot, that is, chopsticks are a little inconvenient to use. Luke picked up the fork and replied.

Que Zhengqing pursed his lips and whispered: "The frog at the bottom of the well." ”

Because of the Huaxia language he spoke, Luke didn't understand, but with the not very "friendly" relationship between him and Que Zhengqing, it was not difficult for him to guess that Que Zhengqing definitely didn't say anything good.

However, it doesn't matter, he didn't want to have a good relationship with Que Zhengqing in the first place.

"By the way, Mr. Zheng, I want to tell you that in fact, in the play-offs of the qualifying round, I have been thinking that I can have a match with you. This time, it should be a good opportunity. Luke looked at Zheng Ke expectantly.

Zheng Ke suddenly realized that he finally understood why Luke nodded at him after seeing him yesterday, it turned out that Luke had already regarded him as an opponent.

"Then I wish you good results. Zheng Ke nodded and stuffed another shrimp dumpling into his mouth.

"Well, I will, I hope you can take it seriously, and it's best to show the state of the duel with Chef Fu. Luke said earnestly.

Ha?

Zheng Ke's eyelids jumped, do you want me to do my best......? Probably so, right?

After all, he can't use Chinese cuisine in the group stage, and he must take it seriously.

Zheng Ke finished drinking the eight-treasure porridge and wiped his mouth with a napkin, "You two, are you really not going to rest?"

Not to mention anything else, the dark circles on the faces of the two people are really a little obvious.

Que Zhengqing glanced at Zheng Ke angrily, picked up a small steamed bun, ate it in his mouth, and then pointed at the clock on the wall with chopsticks.

Zheng Ke turned his head and took a look, it was almost 11 o'clock, and it would definitely be too late to catch up on sleep at this time.

"I'll probably catch up on the way to the ring. Luke said.

Due to the special nature of the cooking competition, it is not possible to hold it in the open air. On the one hand, the chef's cooking can be affected by the weather, and on the other hand, something strange can fall into the pot. For this reason, cooking competitions are usually held in large indoor venues.

The gymnasium is the place to be.

In this The-Blue competition, the organizing committee not only rented the largest basketball hall in Yangcheng as a knockout venue, but also held the group stage in four relatively large gymnasiums.

The venue for Group C is a volleyball hall, and it is said that the renovation has begun a week before the start of the competition, which is enough to show the importance that the organizing committee attaches to the competition.

The volleyball hall is an hour away from the Xingli Hotel, and two people can squint in the car for a while.

Que Zhengqing and Luke bowed their heads to eat, and Zheng Ke also took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Catherine, asking how she was preparing.

As soon as the text message was sent, Catherine immediately replied, "Xiao Ke, help me order two breakfasts, I'll come down immediately." ”

What the hell is this girl? Did you just get up?

Zheng Ke was confused, but still ordered two sandwiches and milk for Catherine.

The waiter brought the food, and Catherine hurried to the restaurant, followed by Anelle.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Ke asked puzzled when he saw Catherine, who was sitting down in a hurry.

"Slept. Catherine blushed, a little embarrassed.

"Didn't you go to bed early?" Zheng Ke remembered that when he returned to the dormitory after cooking the dishes, Catherine's practice room was empty.

"Alas, I didn't want to meet Fu Xiuyun in advance, so I got up at five o'clock, studied the dishes again, and didn't rest until eight o'clock. ”

If she finishes second in Group D, she will have to fight Fu Xiuyun in the first round of the knockout round, and Catherine definitely doesn't want that.

Her goal is to win the championship and there can be no negligence, so she must ensure that she can defeat Cheng Huaizhi and thus stagger Fu Xiuyun.
