Chapter 161: The Contest Begins!

Next.

The stadium was full of people, and there were probably a few thousand spectators.

Dozens of cameras were aimed at the stage, and the host, dressed in a short red skirt, was particularly eye-catching, attracting many coveted eyes.

After all, it is a national competition, and even the host is not comparable to the previous division.

In the front row of the audience, Su Xiaonian saw Wang Yuhan and Ye Xiaochuan, both of whom were holding light signs with Su Xiaonian's name written on them.

Su Xiaonian smiled slightly, people who don't know still think that this is the scene of the idol performance.

Hearing that Wang Yuhan and Ye Xiaochuan came to line up half an hour early today in order to grab the seats in the front row, Su Xiaonian was slightly moved in his heart, and he couldn't let them down.

On time, accompanied by festive background music, the host announced the International Food Newcomer God of Food Competition, and the finals in Huaxia officially began.

"Please take your seats, please take your seats, please take your seats!"

According to the usual practice, the host went through the process, first let the judges speak a few words, and then the contestants spoke, and everyone could face the camera to say a few pre-game speeches, and the time was only 30 seconds.

Don't look at this short 30 seconds, this is a live broadcast on a national TV station, with an audience of hundreds of millions, and a 30-second sponsor advertisement costs millions or even tens of millions, so that each contestant can speak for 30 seconds, which is already very face-saving.

The contestants knew the importance of it, and everyone talked a lot about it, hoping that they would become popular.

As a result, when he arrived at Su Xiaonian, he said directly: "Pass." ”

One word!

The cameraman was dumbfounded, I'm afraid this person is not a fool, right?

Not only the cameraman, but the whole audience was stunned, and the atmosphere was embarrassing.

The host stood up to save the scene, and joked with a smile: "In addition to being tall, handsome, looking like Gu Tianle, looking like Wu Yanzu, this player who doesn't look different didn't expect to have such a personality!"

The audience laughed when they heard this, and the director also gave a thumbs up to the host.

This international-level host is amazing, and a few words can resolve the embarrassing atmosphere of the scene.

But when it was Lu Yao's turn next, this embarrassment reappeared.

He was even more crisp than Su Xiaonian, and without saying a word, he walked over directly.

made the director think that he had made a mistake, but people didn't want to speak at all.

However, the host's adaptability is very high, and he directly inserted a sponsor's advertisement, which not only resolved the embarrassment again, but also made the gold owner's father happy.

After the contestants finished speaking, the leader of the organizing committee came to the stage to preach the rules.

Because it is a live broadcast, each game has a time limit, up to one and a half hours, if it is overtimed, the results of the contestants will be deducted according to the excess time, and if it exceeds two hours, it will be eliminated directly.

As for the competition dishes, there are no requirements, there are no restrictions on the eight major cuisines, even stick dishes, Japanese cuisine, Western food, etc.

However, despite the rules, the contestants and spectators knew in their hearts that no one would choose to cook foreign food.

Because this is an international competition, the championship of the Huaxia Division can only be won by chefs who can cook Chinese cuisine.

This is not narrow, but the champion of each country represents the country behind him.

In addition to personal honors, there is also the glory of the Motherland.

Just imagine, if the chef of the Huaxia District defeats all the contestants with Western food and represents the country to compete, even if he wins in the end and wins the title of world champion, people will say that you are cooking Western food, and if you win, it can only prove that Western food is the best in the world.

Therefore, although the rules of the competition do not require the dishes, none of the contestants participating in the finals will choose to cook foreign dishes. The same is true for the other participating countries, when it comes to the finals, the contestants will not be able to cook foreign food.

There is no limit to the dishes, the ingredients are naturally not limited, what ingredients do the players need, directly say hello to the staff on the spot, the organizing committee has made full preparations, there is a large freezer in the gymnasium, which stores tens of thousands of ingredients, basically what can be bought on the market, and there are all in the freezer.

This competition can be described as very grand, and all preparations are very comprehensive, which is grander than previous competitions.

The key is that the players in this competition are all very good, and the level is much higher than that of previous competitions.

There was even a quiz online to let everyone guess who is most likely to win the championship.

Among them, the one with the most votes was Lu Yao, although he wanted to keep a low profile, but he was overshadowed by Su Xiaonian twice, not to mention, and won the championship in East China, and the results of the game were even more full marks.

There is also the short-haired girl named Su Su, who is the champion seedling of the West China Division.

However, her name has been ridiculed by many people.

Uncle Susu?!

I suspect she's taking advantage of me!

It's good that she is a woman, otherwise it is estimated that no one would want to call her name directly.

In addition to Su Su being the favorite to win the championship, Qian Beisheng is also among them, with the third number of votes.

As for Su Xiaonian, it seems to be countdown......

However, Su Xiaonian didn't care, the seventh ranking in the division, plus he didn't give any interviews at all, it was normal for no one to know him.

Su Xiaonian was also happy.

The leader of the organizing committee read out the rules of the competition, and then let the contestants draw lots.

The lottery process is very modern, not a black box lottery, but a computer to draw lots, which completely guarantees the fairness of the probability and will not be manipulated behind the scenes.

In the first round of the competition, Su Xiaonian played against a young man from the North China Division, his name is Dong Chenggong, and he seems to be a senior chef.

Senior chef, it is already very good to be able to reach the finals, and Dong Chenggong is very young, in his early twenties, and very talented.

However, in front of Su Xiaonian, he was still a little stunned.

Despite this, Su Xiaonian will not underestimate the enemy, in case the boat capsizes in the gutter, he doesn't want to be busy for so long, and the final task of dismissal still fails, resulting in a decrease in system integration.

After the draw was completed, the host rang the gong.

Bang!

"I announce that the finals of the Rookie Chef God Huaxia Division have begun!"

As soon as the gong sounded, the anger on the field instantly became tense.

Thirty-two contestants, almost at the same time, chopping vegetables, chopping meat, each is a unicorn arm, and the hand speed is so fast that the camera can't keep up.

Whew!

The sound of knives chopping the chopping board one after another is very tense and exciting.

Su Xiaonian quickly put himself into the state, and the first dish he was going to make today, Kunlun Baofu, a lost famous dish.

The ingredients include abalone, sea cucumber, grouper skin, white tofu, scallop meat, a total of more than 20 kinds of ingredients, and then simmer in seafood soup for 20 minutes.

This seafood soup alone has more than 30 ingredients to boil and takes 45 minutes.

The steps of Kunlun Baofu are complex, the amount of ingredients, and the order in which they are put will affect the texture and taste, which is definitely a difficult cuisine.

According to the memory in his mind, Su Xiaonian handled the ingredients in an orderly manner.
