Chapter 11: The Lost Month

If something goes out, the update will be a little later.

"The King Chef Championship will start this weekend, December 1, the first six days of the competition, will be the group stage, December 7, the knockout round will officially begin, there will be eight days of quarterfinals, four days of quarterfinals, two days of semi-finals, and finally on December 21 to decide the two teams against each other, on the 23rd of the final. ”

"This station will continue to report on the event, and the front has sent back an interview with Li Tiegang, the chef of the Lu cuisine team, and Zhang Guangshun, the chef of the Hui cuisine team, but the chef of the Sichuan cuisine team is favored this time, the Chinese celebrity chef Fang Hong, did not arrive in France on time, and we do not know whether Fang Hong is making other preparations. ”

On November 28, almost all the celebrity chefs arrived.

However, Fang Hong still hasn't arrived.

In other words, since Fang Hong's live broadcast went from Poland to Germany, there has been no live broadcast, and no one knows why Fang Hong went.

Now that the lottery is being drawn to decide the group allocation, a team of representatives walked into the main venue, and the Chinese reporters on the scene still did not find the prestigious Fang Hong.

"This representative is still too young, it can't be stage fright?"

"What do you know, whoever has stage fright will not have stage fright, what a big scene this Master Fang has never seen. ”

"Look!"

A terrible young man, dressed in a white chef's uniform and with a high hat, walked into the venue, with the national coat of arms pinned to his chest and his hands behind his back, and walked in.

And the sailors also waited for the live broadcast after a month's absence.

"Sure enough, the protagonist has to appear last to look domineering. ”

Fang Hong sat in his place, and the live broadcaster flew high and hovered over the venue.

On stage, the host and the organizer are drawing lots.

Due to some special reasons, the scale of this competition has been repeatedly expanded, and it has finally attracted the attention of many people.

The six-month competition, plus the pre-competition preparation period, is enough to qualify for this attention.

On the barrage, the sailors were asking Fang Hong why he hadn't appeared for a month, but Fang Hong didn't speak, but watched the draw on the stage.

The reason is that Fang Hong gave up the audio entrance to someone else, and now there is a translator who is translating what the rotating chairman on the table said.

"The draw officially began, each round of this competition will be drawn by lottery, until the semi-final position, the semi-finals will determine the highest and lowest points in the first five games, according to the points of the competition, points first against points fourth, points second against points third, and finally on December 23, to determine the chef king. ”

"There will be eight groups drawn in the competition, and now it is the first group. ”

"Mexico!" As the name came out, some people in the room applauded and cheered, as if they were confident in themselves.

In addition to the Hui cuisine team, Fang Hong was also applauding, and the sailors were also cheering.

CCTV: "This competition is really huge, modeled after the World Cup system, attracting the attention of more than 200 million people around the world, and now the Huicai team has been selected into the first group." ”

The participating teams are the eight East Asian teams Sichuan, Shandong, Hui, Taiwan, HK, Japan, Thailand, and South Korea. Eight teams from Europe and the United States: Burgundy, France, Champagne Aden, Italy, Spain, Russia, Austria, the United States, Finland. Eight teams in West Asia and Africa, Turkey (Turkey, if you count according to Europe, will squeeze out a French team, so one of them...... ), Egypt, Iran, Angola, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, South Africa, Kenya. India, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Hawaii, Maori, Zanzibar, Chile. ”

"French Champagne Aden!"

"I rely on shady scenes, I came up and selected the two teams of France and China, and let Mexico be selected, this is the first naked team to be black. ”

Although Mexico is not well-known in the food scene, their food is very good, and if these three teams are in a group, one of them will fall.

"Angola!"

"It's over, the Angola team from Africa is over before it even starts. ”

"Not necessarily, haven't you watched the World Cup, sometimes the weak team can also knock out the strong team with excellent on-the-spot performance. ”

"The first group of four lists has been produced, they are the Mexican team with traditional food customs, the world-famous French Champagne Aden team, the Chinese cuisine team of the gastronomic empire, and the mysterious meat-eating Angolan team. ”

"The first draw in the second group is...... Burgundy, France!"

The two French teams were selected at the first time, and after hearing this name, I am afraid that no one will be selected into this group.

"The second team in the second group is, Team America!" At this time, the venue burst into absolutely warm applause.

Everyone is gloating, in the world, every four years, there are three years of China, the United States and Russia are world powers, but when it comes to the World Cup year, the world power has become Brazil, Argentina and Germany, in terms of food, although the United States is not as bad as everyone thinks, but when it comes to the Burgundian team, it is undoubtedly dead, unless the remaining two opponents are very weak.

"The third team in the second group, the Taiwan Strait team!"

"The fourth team in the second group, the Hawaii team!" "Hmm? Two teams from the United States were selected for the same group?

The U.S. team is actually led by chefs from Miami, USA, while Hawaii is an indigenous islander team.

"The four teams in the second group are, Taiwan Strait, the United States, Hawaii, and Burgundy, France. ”

At this time, the audience watching in the United States shouted shady.

"The four teams in the third group are: Hong Kong Port team, Spain team, Egypt team, and India team. ”

"Group IV, Thailand, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Argentina. ”

"Group V, Brazil, Qatar, RB, Russia. ”

"Group 6, South Korea, Austria, South Africa, Maori. "Māori is the New Zealand team, but New Zealand's current policy is to fully support indigenous peoples, so Māori is the name of the team.

Damn, no!

"It's not scientific, there are two groups left, all of them are strong teams!"

There are still eight teams left that have not been drawn, namely the Chinese Sichuan cuisine team, the Chinese Lu cuisine team, the Finland team, the Turkish team, the Kenyan team, the Chilean team, the Zanzibar team, and the Iranian team in the Arab world.

The eight teams include the world-famous Sichuan cuisine, the representative of Chinese imperial cuisine, the representative of Shandong cuisine, Finland, which is good at seafood, Turkey, the world's top four food power, Kenya, South America, Chile, and Zanzibar, which has a unique food culture influenced by Indian style.

It's easy to turn one of the groups into a group of death!

"The first team in Group 7 is the Kenyan team with the custom of eating wild. "Have you ever eaten an ostrich, have you ever eaten an ostrich egg? The main dishes in Kenya are the kind that look tall, such as lobster, such as wild game that is rare in the country. I heard that in order to promote tourism, the Kenyan team sent enough strange ingredients and live animals to make up a zoo.

"The second team in Group 7, the Zanzibar team!"

"The third team in Group 7, the Chilean team!"

There are a total of eight teams, and the current weak teams have all been selected and put in the seventh group, the eighth group......

"The fourth team in Group 7 is Team Finland!"

"Oops!"

With such a point, then the eighth group is......

"In this way, the eighth group of lists is naturally generated, they are, Chinese Sichuan cuisine team, Chinese Lu cuisine team, Turkey team, Iranian team!"

In addition to the five teams from China and France, the strongest teams are Turkey, Iran, Spain, Italy, and Mexico. The top 10 teams are now divided, with four teams in the same group.

This is going to do something!

Fang Hong got up and shook hands with Li Tiegang, the master of Lu cuisine next to him: "It seems that this group stage is going to be real at the beginning of the group." ”

Li Tiegang was a little unnatural, but in the end he didn't say anything and shook hands with Fang Hong.
