"Western food, is this the-blue competition?" Zheng Ke couldn't figure out why Xiao Han asked him to do this.

"I know, because it's a group stage. Two of the five players will advance to the quarterfinals, and you still have a chance to win the match. Do you want to cook Western food in the knockout round?" Xiao Han asked rhetorically.

Zheng Ke has a black line, if the opponent is Fu Xiuyun's strength, there is almost no chance of winning with Western food - although his Western food has made great progress in this year, there is already a gap with Catherine.

"Of course, this is also my personal opinion, if you don't want to, you can say no. Xiao Han said.

Seeing Xiao Han's resolute attitude, Zheng Ke also took a deep breath and nodded, "I know, I will cook Western food in the group stage tomorrow." ”

"Hmm. Looking forward to your game tomorrow. After Xiao Han finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Zheng Ke knew something about Xiao Han's character, so when he saw Xiao Han leaving, he didn't persuade him to stay, but looked at Fu Xiuyun, "Brother Fu, do you want to come and sit down?"

"No, I'm going to sleep. By the way, I forgot to tell you that the organizing committee just issued a notice that at 19 o'clock this evening, they will be in a large conference room on the 30th floor, and they will conduct a group lottery. It is said that the group stage will be played at four venues at the same time, and at the same time, I hope you can cheer for it. Fu Xiuyun patted Zheng Ke on the shoulder.

Zheng Ke nodded.

The format of the-blue is similar from one year to another, so even if there are some changes to the process, it's normal.

After sending Fu Xiuyun away, Zheng Ke also came to the restaurant on the first floor and ate some meals.

Some reporters in the restaurant wanted to interview Zheng Ke, but he politely refused.

After lunch, Zheng Ke returned to the room again.

Xiao Han's request for him to cook Western food was not too harsh. Among all the 20 players, only Catherine and Bayer can win him in Western food. As long as he doesn't meet the two of them, even if he compares with Que Zhengqing and Liu Haolin's Huaxia cuisine, he has a chance to win.

There are only two places in a group, and if you want to reach the quarterfinals, you must get the top two...... No, it has to be first place.

According to the experience of previous competitions, the position of the group stage will directly determine the opponent in the knockout round, and the better the result, the weaker the opponent in the first round.

Although if you want to win the championship, you must have more strength than others, but even so, Zheng Ke doesn't want to meet Fu Xiuyun and Catherine in the first round.

In the group stage, you have to go all out!

Zheng Ke said silently in the depths of his heart.

After dinner, the contestants climbed to the large conference hall on the 30th floor one after another.

This conference hall is about 200 square meters, and all the tables and chairs have been removed at this moment, except for a transparent glass box on the conference table in the middle, which is stuffed with orange balls. Behind the desk is an electronic blackboard.

The reporters had already entered the conference room before the contestants arrived, and because there was a limited number of places, only one person from each media was present, like "Gourmet" magazine, and only Suga Shino was here. But his face was not very good, he couldn't understand Huaxia at all, so he could only rely on English translation.

Zheng Ke, together with Catherine and Aynelle, entered the conference room and found that most of the contestants had come.

There are some players that Zheng Ke has seen a few days ago, and there are some players who only hear their names and have not seen them, for example, Luke at Milan West Point is the representative player of the European division. After coming to the conference hall, Zheng Ke had the opportunity to meet him.

When Luke saw Zheng Ke, he was also stunned, and then nodded slightly at Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke didn't know at all, Luke had been thinking about competing with him since the qualifying match. So, when he saw Luke, who had never spoken to him, greeting him, he was a little confused, but politely, he smiled and nodded.

Liu Haolin, who was standing by the wall, frowned when he saw Zheng Ke coming in, and after thinking for more than ten seconds, he finally strode towards Zheng Ke, his face was gloomy and he looked a little angry.

"You guy, you lied to me. Liu Haolin walked in front of Zheng Ke and looked up at Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke looked at Liu Haolin, knew his intention, and spread his hands a little helplessly, "I'm sorry, I'm telling the truth, this year, I have put most of my energy on Western food, and Huaxia cuisine has not been practiced for a long time, as for whether the level is up or down, you can only know after the competition." ”

"Hehe, you said as if you could win a game with me!" Liu Haolin gritted his teeth and said.

"I've never said I could win against you, right?" Zheng Ke smiled, not annoyed by Liu Haolin's unwarranted accusations.

"You ......" Liu Haolin pointed at Zheng Ke, his face flushed.

"Pay attention to the image, this is Huaxia, you represent the Chinese chef, and the reporters are looking at you. Zheng Ke reminded.

Liu Haolin looked around, and sure enough, many reporters held cameras and would take photos at any time, so they clenched their fists, gritted their teeth, glared at Zheng Ke, and said in a low voice: "Don't be in a group with me, otherwise, I will bite you!"

"See you on the field. Zheng Ke shrugged his shoulders, he didn't want to cause trouble, but when the matter came, he wouldn't hide, besides, he wouldn't open a restaurant in Yangcheng, Liu Haolin, and even Mo Xiaohe's influence on him was very small.

Catherine frowned and watched Liu Haolin leave in a huff. Her Chinese language is not very good, but this does not prevent her from surmising that Liu Haolin is not good.

"What's the matter?" Catherine looked at Zheng Ke uneasily.

"What's the matter, that kid said I lied to him before. Zheng Ke stretched his waist.

"What are you going to do?" Catherine was in a bad mood, this was not France, and there was no way to help Zheng Ke.

"What else can I do? I can't eat him, and besides, I don't suffer. Zheng Ke said casually.

Hearing this, Catherine knew that Zheng Ke was not angry, so she relaxed a little, "When I meet him in the game, I will win him and give you anger." ”

"Of course you have to win, or you're eliminated. Zheng Ke said with a smile.

"Yes. Catherine nodded, "Well, if you play him, give it your all, right?"

Fu Xiuyun and Cheng Huaizhi were the latest of all the contestants. After entering the arena, the two first greeted Zheng Ke and Catherine, and then chatted with Bayer for a while.

At this time, the photographer also prepared the camera and made an "OK" gesture to the staff, and the person in charge of the scene nodded slightly and whispered a few words to a young man in a dark suit.

The young man nodded, took a deep breath, and strode over to the conference table, where a female translator followed him and walked to the camera.

"Welcome to Yangcheng, although everyone comes from all over the world, I believe that everyone's goal is very consistent, that is, to win the crown of the-blue in half a month. ”

After saying that, the young man paused slightly, and the female translator translated the sentence into English.

"From tomorrow, the competition will officially kick off. As the tournament takes place in four different venues, the group stage groups and topics, including the post-knockout process, will be revealed this evening. The young man said simply.
