If there is a game, there will be a win or a loss, and according to the rules of the knife duel, the top 50 cooks are elated, and those who have been eliminated are depressed. The frustration of happily entering the top 100 for the second round of the tournament and being eliminated without any performance was somehow more depressing than never making the 100-man list.

Just because the food tastes better doesn't mean that the knife skills are just as good, and many of the people who were eliminated were originally in the top 50 in the first round. Some dark horses like Hodge stand out, but it's anyone's guess whether they'll be able to make it to the end.

Chef Hanzo, Chef Merlin, and Naomi, whom Lin Su knew, were all eliminated in the knife duel, and Wolfgang and Huang Sanshi, who were also from the Kingdom of Gary, were not spared. However, with Sally Elle, Hodge and Lady Wenxu in the top 50, the Kingdom of Gary is still the country with the most qualifiers.

By the time the scores of all the players were counted, it was already noon, and after a few hours of rest, the state of the chefs had basically returned to normal.

The 50 chefs who made the cut are back in the third round of the World Chef Championship.

"There are two basic skills for a chef, one is knife work, which is used to prepare the ingredients, and the other is heat, which is used to cook the ingredients. How to control the heat just right and get the most out of the ingredients is the key to making a delicious dish.

We've just had a knife duel, and the next step is to test your chef's mastery of the heat. ”

As soon as the screen turned, a competition table appeared on the screen. Next to the stove are sauté spoons and pans of all sizes, and under it are boxes of nuts.

"Look, those boxes contain a nut called Chestnut, which you may not have heard of, so I'll give you a brief introduction.

Hot-shot chestnuts are a type of chestnut, but they are the most difficult to cook of all chestnuts. If the heating time is too short, the meat will be bitter and unswallowable. On the contrary, if the heating time is too long, the shell will burst, and the flesh inside will also be broken and inedible.

We used to experiment that there was an interval of less than three seconds between the hot chestnuts and the hot chestnuts, and in order to cook them, they had to be taken out within those three seconds. The shell of the fried hot chestnut is split in half as soon as it is pinched, and the flesh is fragrant and glutinous, and it is extremely sweet.

The most important thing is that the heating time of different hot chestnuts is also different, and they are usually roasted individually with a special machine.

Today's content of our fire duel is to stir up fire and chestnuts. The more fried in the allotted time, the higher the score. One point will be awarded for each fried hot chestnut, and one point will also be deducted for failure, and the choice of each chef will still determine the final result of the game. ”

Chrisman finished introducing the rules of this fire duel in one go.

The point deduction for failure is the biggest attraction of this game, because this regulation puts an end to the idea of opportunistic shortcuts.

If the success rate cannot be guaranteed, if you fry a large number of hot chestnuts at one time, you will not get many points even if you succeed halfway.

For fear of punishment if they fail, most chefs may reduce the number of hot chestnuts they handle each time, making it difficult to score points. However, the organizers are not worried about this, this time only 16 of the 50 cooks in the fire duel can be promoted, and if they are too stable, they can only be overtaken and lose the qualification.

In fact, in the initial planning of the finals, a large number of chefs were not eliminated so quickly, after all, the organizers would get an astronomical broadcast fee for each day they were extended. It's like a knife duel, the original plan was to have 75 promotion places, and 50 chefs can be retained after the fire duel.

However, because of the previous hijacking incident, the organizers had to reluctantly compress the competition process.

The more time passes, the more likely it is that problems will occur, and the World Chef Competition has not been able to withstand the blow of a second accident.

As long as the competition is successfully concluded and the World Chef Competition brand is kept, the Group can make it an international event like the Olympic Games, and continue to collect money once every four years.

Of course, such a big cake is bound to attract the covetousness of others. The ability to nibble on all the profits of the group is entirely because of the starting advantage, and there will inevitably be more forces to share the cake in the next World Chef Competition.

……

As the cooks are ready, the fire duel officially begins.

Some cooks choose a frying pan, some choose a sauté pan, some only fry a dozen hot chestnuts at a time, and some pile the pot to the brim. Fifty chefs were already divided at the beginning.

This game is actually not as interesting as the previous knife duel, and everyone is maintaining the same movements and cooking the same ingredients, which is quite boring at first glance.

However, the organizers have apparently taken the situation into account, and they have focused the broadcast on the mistakes of the chefs.

Seeing the usual confident chefs make mistakes, the audience will get the same thrill as watching a reality show.

The first to make a mistake was Luo Prison, who scored high in the first round with the Four Gods Seafood Eight Treasures Soul Buns, and his performance made the audience shake their heads.

Because he is a pastry chef, Luo Jian is not as skilled in the use of stir-fry spoons as other chefs, and for the sake of safety, he only stir-fried ten hot chestnuts at a time. However, it may be because I have never touched this ingredient, and there is a burst of fire at the beginning.

The exploding hot chestnuts interfered with the other hot chestnuts in the frying spoon, some of which were burst out of the frying spoon, and some directly caused a chain explosion.

Luo Jian hurriedly dealt with the few hot chestnuts left in the frying spoon, and finally only succeeded in completing two. This time, instead of earning points, he was deducted a negative score, becoming the first contestant to score a negative score at the World Chef Competition.

Luo Prison's situation is not unique, many cooks also did not expect that the explosion of one fiery chestnut would have a chain reaction to other fiery chestnuts, and fifteen cooks were deducted negative points at the beginning.

"It's a pity, the explosive effect of the fiery chestnut made the efforts of many players fall short, not only did not earn points but were deducted negative points. That's what I've told you before, the point deduction system will be the biggest variable in this game. Chrisman said.

"I don't know if you have noticed, unlike most people's choice at the beginning, Sariar and Liu Angxing, who had excellent performances in the last knife duel, only had one hot chestnut in the pot, which was really unexpected. Charles said suddenly.
