Chapter 340: The rematch begins
It's a real blessing to be a food taster for chefs like Sally Elle and Hodge. The pen www.biquge.info enjoy tasting the best delicacy carefully made by the other party, and Lin Su's whole person was immersed in the aroma of white-haired cindy reela beef.
As a food taster, Lin Su has to do more than just eat, but also comment on the food to make it taste more perfect.
Fortunately, Lin Su had the tongue of a resurrected gourmet cell demon, and his keen sense of taste allowed him to detect the slightest changes in the taste of the two dishes before and after.
Sally Elle and Hodge worked on their recipes, and when all three white-haired Cinderella cows had run out of meat, they finally settled on the final recipe.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and the rematch is about to begin.
During this time, Lin Su and Sally El also went to Wolfgang's Starry Sky Restaurant, where they were fortunate to taste the dishes specially prepared by Chef Wolfgang for the semi-finals.
Wolfgang is so confident in his work that he doesn't have any idea of hiding it at all. As a five-star restaurant, Starry Sky Restaurant has a steady supply of white-haired cinderella beef, and Wolfgang's white-haired cinderella beef dish can be said to be the result of a lot of hard work.
Hodge had been a little dismissive of Wolfgang in the previous preliminary rounds, but after tasting his food, he was immediately included in the list of players who need special attention. Wolfgang may be lacking in other cuisines, but he is definitely a master when it comes to cooking white-haired cinderella.
"I'm lucky to be able to choose the ingredients that I'm good at. Despite that thought, Hodge was still confident that he would make it to the final list of 1,000 people.
……
The semi-finals were held at the Imperial Capital Sports Center in the Kingdom of Gary. The world-renowned indoor sports centre is a state-of-the-art facility with high-tech finishes that are perfect for both sports competitions and concerts, but this is the first time it has been used for a cooking competition.
At this time, it can be said that the outside of the Imperial Capital Sports Center is noisy with gongs and drums, firecrackers, red flags, and crowds!
"Wow, there are so many people. Sally El, who arrived early in the morning, was shocked to see the crowd outside the venue, she didn't expect a cooking competition to attract so many spectators.
You must know that it is difficult for the audience to participate in the cooking competition, because they can't taste the works of the contestants, and secondly, they can't even smell the aroma because they are too far away. The only thing she could do was to watch the chef make the dishes, but cooking wasn't juggling, and Sally El couldn't think of anything appealing.
"You won't be nervous to be watched by so many people, right?" Lin Su asked.
"How is it possible, I've seen a big scene. Sally El snorted proudly, and walked towards the athletes' lane.
Because the competitors have to prepare their own ingredients, the competitors must bring their own ingredients to the arena before the competition. Dedicated staff inspect the ingredients to ensure that no toxic substances are present.
That's not to say that contestants can't use poisonous ingredients, after all, a few skilled chefs can remove toxins from ingredients and turn them into rare and delicious foods.
However, if the ingredients prepared by the chef contain toxic ingredients, the staff will mark the chef and ask the chef to take a bite of the food he made to prove that it is safe to eat when he submits the work.
It's a lot like a chef who specializes in making fugu.
In fact, many of the poisonous ingredients that have been found in the human world are not inferior to the poison of pufferfish, so the rules of cooking puffer fish extend to all poisonous ingredients.
As you enter the venue, you can see that the large playing field is divided into many sections, each of which is equipped with many common kitchen equipment.
In order to cooperate with this cooking competition, the company spent a lot of money in advance to renovate the Imperial Capital Sports Center, turning it into an exquisite giant kitchen.
A total of 50 people from the Kingdom of Gary participated in the semi-finals, and only five of them were able to advance and qualify for the finals. If you want to win the honor, you have to go through a brutal competition.
Considering the amount of food of the judges and the fairness of the judges, the rules of the competition adopted in the semi-finals are slightly different from those in the preliminary round. Again, a team of 10 people is randomly drawn to compete and then vote to determine the ranking. The winners of each group qualify for the finals, but the second place finishers in the other groups have the opportunity to challenge them and take their place if they win.
If the first place in this group is replaced by the second place in another group, then the second place in this group is automatically disqualified.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the competition officially began.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the semi-final of the World King of Chefs Gary Kingdom Station, I am today's host Shao'an. "A man dressed like a gambling god with a big back appeared on the big screen at the game.
"Today's competition scene is really full of big names and stars, and we can see a lot of familiar top chefs. The screen switched, and photos of several cooks flashed.
At this time, the audience also cheered.
Shao An saw that the atmosphere of the audience had almost been mobilized, and after briefly introducing the rules of today's game, he immediately began to draw lots to decide the fate of the players.
"All 50 contestants have been photographed into the computer, and when I press the button in my hand, the computer will randomly divide them into five groups to determine the order of today's competition. Good luck to everyone. ”
Shao An showed the remote control in his hand, and then pressed it decisively.
Fifty spinning cards appeared on the screen, some of which soon stopped showing the cook's photo and number. When the last card stops spinning, the grouping is complete.
"I was lucky to be in the first group. Sally Elle saw her picture and nodded in satisfaction.
Although the organizers provided a special place for the players to rest, there was no way to rest at ease because they had to pay attention to the competition. In this way, there is not so much pressure to play early.
"I was in the third group, and I didn't expect to be with Wolfgang again. Hodge soon found his photograph as well.
"Alright, the chef of the first group of competitions has been decided, please hurry up and prepare. Ten minutes later, the game officially began. Shao An reminded in particular.
"Audience friends, before the start of the first group of competitions, I will introduce to you the ten judges who are responsible for the judging work of this group of competitions. The camera cuts to where the podium is.
