At eight o'clock in the evening, in the lobby of the Xingli Hotel, the staff and players kept moving.

After learning about the competition, the contestants immediately went to the first floor, registered at the front desk, and applied for a practice room.

The hotel staff led the registered contestants to find the corresponding rooms. And the chef, who moves a little faster, is even already asking the staff to prepare the ingredients.

Zheng Ke and Catherine came to the first floor and also applied for a practice room. After getting a form, the two people filled out the information separately, and then the staff led them to their respective kitchens.

There is everything you need inside, and even on the wall, there is an alarm clock.

"If you need any ingredients, please fill out the form and we will try to deliver the ingredients you need in less than half an hour. After handing the application form for ingredients to Zheng Ke, the staff left the practice room.

Zheng Ke put the application form on the operating table, and he pulled over a bench and sat on it, staring at the application form with both eyes.

Now there are only a dozen hours before the start of the competition, and if you exclude the time required to rest, then this preparation time will seem a bit rushed for every contestant.

It is unlikely that you will come up with something too novel during this time. Moreover, even if you think about it, you may not be able to fully bring out the highlights of the dishes.

Zheng Ke also knew that time was tight, so he just planned to make a French soup, and he had practiced in school, so it would not be difficult for him to cook this dish.

The only trouble was that if he wanted to cook a high-quality soup, he had to boil the stock in advance.

Therefore, for Zheng Ke, how to make a beautiful broth is the key to the whole dish.

Zheng Ke quickly transcribed the ingredients he needed in the form.

Cook the stock first, then make the soup, and try to rest before 4 a.m.

This is Zheng Ke's plan. After handing in the application form for ingredients, what Zheng Ke needed to do was to wait quietly.

……

Hokkaido, Japan, a luxury train called "Moon Shadow" is speeding on the road to Sapporo.

The first graders of the Far Moon School Park,In the middle of December,It also started the annual promotion exam.。 As the chief of the Ten Masters, Isshihui's energy must be all focused on the promotion exam, and he is too busy to figure out his head every day.

After communicating with the person in charge of Sapporo about the next day's exam, Isshiki finally got a respite.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Outside Issukye's room, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"It's coming. ”

Issehui opened the door of the train's private room and saw a little girl standing in front of him, looking at him excitedly.

He knew this girl, her name was Jun Kondo, and her father was Shushi Kondo, a star chef in Kanagawa Prefecture. At the same time, she is also good at imitating Zheng Ke's dishes. It can be said that the main reason why she came to Tokyo from Kanagawa and was admitted to Yuanyue School Park was Zheng Ke.

However, after being admitted to Yuanyue, she learned that Zheng Ke had gone to France, which disappointed her for a long time.

Jun Kondo's talent in cooking is obvious to everyone. Especially in the autumn audits for a few months, she won the championship by an overwhelming margin, and almost booked a place for the top ten in the future.

"What's the matter?" Ichishiki didn't know what Jun Kondo meant, but she still had a habitual smile on her face.

"I'm taking a leave of absence tomorrow!" said Jun Kondo as he raised his hand.

"What? Excuse of absence, why?" Ichishiki looked at Jun Kondo puzzled.

"There's a game tomorrow, and I'm going to watch it!" said Kondo as a matter of course.

"But, there's an exam tomorrow. Issehui scratched his head, he really couldn't figure out what a child thinks now, "Besides, watch the game...... Wait, you're talking about the-blue, right?"

Halfway through her words, Isshiki suddenly thought of The-Blue.

There have been so many things going on lately that he has lost some of them so much that he even forgot about the-blue.

"That's right, Senior Zheng will play tomorrow, I want to watch his game. Jun Kondo nodded.

"I see...... However, I still can't accept your request for leave. A lot of people will be eliminated in each round of the promotion exam, and even you, if you don't take tomorrow's exam, you will be eliminated. Issehui said bitterly.

"Eliminate it, eliminate it, anyway, Senior Zheng is not in Yuanyue, so it's not interesting for me to stay here. Kondo Jun turned his head and snorted coldly.

"Suspend school at every turn, this is not what Zheng Jun wants to see, and Zheng Jun has paid a lot for this school. If you don't really leave Yuanyue, Zheng Jun will definitely be disappointed. Moreover, the next time you see him, you also want to show off your cooking skills, right?" Yishihui had a wry smile on her face and continued to persuade the little girl in front of her.

"That's right......" Kondo scratched his head, his brow furrowed.

There's some truth to what Isshiki said, but she still wants to see tomorrow's game.

"When will Zheng Jun appear tomorrow?" Ichishiki Hui saw that Kondo Jun was a little hesitant, struck while the iron was hot, and continued to ask.

"Tomorrow at one o'clock in the afternoon. Jun Kondo immediately explained.

"Oh, then Erina and Sojin-kun should also be competing at the same time, right?" asked Isshiki.

"I don't know. When are they going to play and what does it have to do with me?" said Jun Kondo, rolling his eyes.

On the contrary, Zheng Ke is now a student of Lanji.

Isshiki rubbed his forehead, the champion of this year's autumn selection was completely different from what he thought.

"Didn't you say they were racing in the afternoon, and if they were cooking, they should be in time, right?"

"I had time to see the judges' comments and scores, but I couldn't see Senior Zheng cooking dishes. Jun Kondo said.

"Uh-huh, that's the case...... There should be videos on Youtoto. Alternatively, you can finish the exam early...... That shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?" said Isshiki.

"That'...... Of course. "Jun Kondo didn't get the results he wanted, and he was somewhat frustrated.

Although there will be videos online, the tension is missing. As for the judges' comments on the cuisine - what is the meaning of a chef like her, just looking at the results of the competition?

Sending off Jun Kondo, who is depressed, Isshiki Hui takes out her phone and finds a report related to the-blue.

Generally speaking, the most timely and accurate news comes from the official Twitter accounts of some media outlets. So, Isshiki found the official tweet of "Gourmet" magazine and saw the news related to the-blue on it.

After seeing the grouping of the group stage, Isshihui's eyes finally fell on Group B. One place in this group is equivalent to being carried in Fu Xiuyun's pocket, while Xinghei and Erina are competing for another place.

Yishihui rubbed her chin with a helpless expression, it seems that the best result of Yuanyue is that there is only one player who has entered the knockout round.
