Chapter 395: Finals, Knife Showdown
The text came to an abrupt end here, but Lin Su could fully imagine the unwritten content behind it. Brad was greatly reduced in strength at that time due to the conflict of food cells in his body, and he had to hide in the human world, and he probably had no hope of setting foot in the food world again in this life.
Despite his speculation, Brad was unable to complete the final experiment. Perhaps it was because of this that he sealed all the cards and lab manuals in the box and never bothered to ask about it again.
"If you have the opportunity, you must go to Baig Mountain for a turn. Lin Su thought silently.
Because there were still dozens of Water Margin cards that had not been collected before, Lin Su didn't pay attention to this matter, after all, there was still a long way to go before success. Now that there was suddenly only one last card left, Lin Su's attention to this matter immediately increased several levels.
What secrets would a senior who was probably also a traverser leave behind? This question kept tickling Lin Su's curiosity.
Cover the box again, and this box of Water Margin cards has become Lin Su's personal collection.
After dealing with the things looted in the Natural Temple, Lin Su rushed back to the Maruko Stadium in a flying saucer. The second round of the World Chef Awards is just around the corner, and he doesn't want to miss out on it.
On the day of the game, Maruko Stadium was once again crowded with people. Because of the kidnapping incident before, the huge stadium was crowded with people and deserted to the extreme.
Compared to the previous 10 days of competition, this time the security work has become stricter. Everywhere in the square, you can see the IGO personnel patrolling, and they specially train the Shadow Wolves.
Each Shadow Wolf can reach a capture level of 2, which is not worth mentioning in the entire human realm, but it is very intimidating in the city.
The presence of so many security guards and the ferocious Shadow Wolf made the atmosphere a little tense, but it also gave the spectators who came to watch the game feel a little more secure.
The spectators entered the Maruko Stadium one after another, because they could afford to drag their families to serve as spectators, and there were finally no vacancies here. But even then, the stadium was not full, and there were thousands of people empty.
Thankfully, the organizers did something ahead of time, and they printed a large number of huge photos of the 100 chefs who participated in the second round of the competition, and placed them wherever they were available.
"Hello everyone, I'm your old friend Chrisman. The World Chef Competition is once again in full swing, and everyone is as excited as I am.
The incident that happened at Maruko Stadium a few days ago will not be forgotten, so I would like to thank all the spectators who came to the scene to support the chefs. It is precisely because of your support that the competition will become more and more exciting. ”
Before the start of the game, Chrisman solemnly thanked the audience. He also couldn't avoid the previous hijacking, because no one at the scene would forget about it.
"Okay, without further ado, let's start today's game. In the second round of the World Chef Competition, G7 and the Ten Old Men are still the judges, and this time they will form a super jury of 17 people to complete the judging tasks of this round of the competition. ”
The camera cuts to the judges' seat, where G7 and the Ten Old Men are all seated. The ten old men, who had attracted everyone's attention, looked ruddy, and they had completely escaped the effects of the previous poisoning incident.
"You've all noticed the 100 makeshift kitchens lined up neatly in the field, and yes, the next step is a brutal knife knockout!
100 contestants will compete in a knife duel at the same time, and 50 chefs will be eliminated in this round!"
I finally entered the second round after a fierce battle, but I didn't expect to let half of the chefs quit in the first game, such a format can indeed be called cruel.
However, the next matchup itself is prepared for the selection of the strongest, and it is completely different from the previous first round. Eliminating those who don't have any hope of competing for the chef king in the fastest way and leaving a few of the best chefs to face off is the real highlight of the second round.
"As a chef, knife work is a skill that must be mastered, and without excellent knife skills, there is no way to cope with a large number of ingredients, and there is no way to make excellent dishes. Therefore, we will make knife work the first item to be assessed. ”
"Everyone, please look!" Chrisman waved his hand, and four ingredients appeared on the big screen of the scene, "Layers of tomatoes, viscose leeks, onions, bananas, and almond cabbage, this is the challenge that the chefs will need to face in the next old knife showdown."
Layers of tomatoes, viscose leeks, onions and bananas are all high-quality ingredients that can only be cooked with exquisite knife skills. However, the difficulty of these three ingredients is not the same, so there are different scores for handling different ingredients.
If you're not familiar with the above three ingredients, you can also choose the last almond cabbage. It's just that compared to the first three ingredients, almond cabbage has the lowest score. ”
The screen on the big screen shifted to show the score for each ingredient.
4 points for each layer of tomatoes, 3 points for an onion banana, 2 points for a bunch of viscose leeks, and only 1 point for each almond cabbage at the end.
The picture changes again, showing how far each ingredient needs to be handled.
Layers of tomatoes need to be peeled off to reveal the innermost pale silver layer, onions and bananas need to be thoroughly chopped according to the texture, viscose leeks are cut into small pieces no longer than three centimeters, and finally almond cabbage is cut into thin strips less than a millimeter wide.
Each ingredient will be inspected by a special staff, and as long as there is a problem with a part, it will not be counted in the total score.
"Each of these four ingredients has a different level of difficulty, and the scores on behalf of the chef are also very different, so how to choose them needs to be judged by each participating chef according to his or her own ability. The tournament lasts 30 minutes, and the top 50 chefs can enter the next competition.
Now, please come in!"
Before Chrisman's words were over, a rousing march was remembered in the stadium, and a hundred cooks dressed in uniform chef uniforms entered the arena.
When they came to their respective cooking stations and stood up, a five-minute countdown appeared on the screen.
"After five minutes, the game will officially begin, and you can take advantage of this time to think about the next game strategy. Whether you mix multiple ingredients or aim for the highest-scoring multi-layered tomatoes, your choice will determine your final result. ”
