"The statistics of the total score of the individual competition have come out, and our 'Germinate team' has a total score of 54.73 points so far, ranking fourth...... After adding the final team results, the top four teams can advance to the main competition, which is not optimistic. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Kojiro Shinomiya said, placing the newspaper with the list on the table in front of him.

It's evening now, and the individual competition was a few hours ago.

As soon as the game ended, Kojiro Shinomiya wanted to find Liu Pleiasion, count everyone's scores, measure the weight of the "burden" of the team competition later, and at the same time simply determine the strategy of the team competition in advance......

However, Liu Pleiades was in a hurry to Erina, so he didn't return to the lounge of the "Germinate team" at all, and it wasn't until he returned to the hotel that he was blocked, and at this time, some unofficial tabloids had already counted the results, and Kojiro Shinomiya naturally used it directly!

Now Shinomiya Kojiro, naturally, directly used their statistical data, from now on, the "Germinate team" seems to be in a good situation, has broken into the top four, that is to say, if everyone in the team battle does not lag behind, the ticket for this main match has already been obtained!

However, Shinomiya Kojiro's words were just the opposite, and several other people, including Liu Yuexing, did not refute it.

Liu Yuxing picked up the tabloid again and looked at it on the provisional rankings......

Who made him, the "team leader", completely fail to fulfill his responsibilities?

I've been delaying in contacting the "Seed Team" before, and now I have time to notice this ranking, so it's no wonder that Kojiro Shinomiya keeps giving him a roll of his eyes.

Under the white eyes of the fourth house, Liu Pleiades even involuntarily felt a little guilty in his heart, but immediately the "guilt" was suppressed by Liu Pleiades, while silently muttering in his heart: I am fighting for the cause of saving the world......

Shinomiya Kojiro's words are indeed not alarmist, and Liu Pleiades also noticed at this time that although they are now ranked fourth, they are ......

"54.73 points...... It doesn't seem to have much of an advantage, and the tenth place also has 54.25 points, and the fourth place score and the tenth place are less than 0.5 points apart! Liu Pleiades said with his forehead raised.

"That's right, which means that there are still seven or eight teams that can compete with us in the team competition without being too weak." Fuyumi Mizuhara analyzed expressionlessly.

Jun Shiomi, who hadn't realized anything yet, suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! Isn't that bad? You said we were weak in the team competition, right? ”

Jun Shiomi is also an afterthought, the reason why everyone won the fourth place in the individual competition, but still thinks that the situation is not good, is the reason!

However, Liu Yuexing said at this time: "But the situation is not so bad......"

Seeing that everyone had seen it, Liu Pleiades put the tabloid on the table, and then spread his hands and said: "Although our previous plan was to try to get as high a score as possible in the individual competition, it would be good to be able to memorize some points for the team competition...... But in fact, do you really think that we have the strength to get first and second? With the current results in the individual competition, there is nothing to complain about, and then it is okay to work hard for the team competition without backing points. ”

Although Liu Pleiaus's statement is "scoundrel", Sigong and others can't refute it!

Indeed, the previous plan was originally an inspirational component, didn't they think that the opponent was too strong and could not achieve the planned goal in their hearts?

Although Liu Yuexing's words are not popular, there is no problem with the reason......

That is, the three of them have played their due level in the individual competition, and it can even be said that they have played very well!

With a score of 54.73, it should also be satisfied......

More than 90 other teams have worse cooks than them?

Obviously not, the current score is already because as a chef of the Yuanyue system, they are stronger than other chefs in terms of recipe creativity and on-the-spot play, otherwise everyone will be out of the competition with no limit to the topic!

Why didn't I achieve a higher score? It's not a matter of planning, it's not a mistake, it's just a matter of "stopping the trick".

So in Liu Pleiaus's opinion, there is nothing to say, and in the team competition after that, everyone can also play the strongest level, whether it is successful or not, it is the reason for strength, there is nothing to say.

"It's true that we miscalculated the strength of those veteran celebrity chefs before, as well as the 'All· Blue's attraction ......" Shinomiya nodded.

At the same time, I looked at the ranking in the tabloids......

Indeed, the quality of this year's players caught Sinomiya and others off guard!

"It's not so much 'All· The attraction of Blue' is not so much the attraction of the four teams in the main competition! Not to mention the representative team of the Inter-American Development Association, the other three ...... If those celebrity chefs want to go further in popularity, there is only one way to defeat the representative teams of the three major culinary organizations! Liu Pleiades said.

That's right, it is precisely because of the four escort teams in the main competition that this year's "All· Blue", the atmosphere is heated to the extreme, and those celebrity chefs who are not affected by the "curse" and don't even know what the "Jade Dragon Pot" is, participate in the "All· Blue", the biggest goal is to defeat the bosses of the three major cooking organizations and become the number one in the world in one fell swoop......

"Wait, I think our current situation is not as bad as I imagined before!" Liu Yuexing groaned and picked up the tabloid again.

Sinomiya also thought of something at this time, and said with some disdain: "That's right, some are too eager to be 'famous'." ”

"Huh? Famous? What are you talking about? Shiomi Jun said suspiciously.

Liu found another tabloid from the previous tabloid, which was a brief introduction to the various teams participating in the competition......

Since readers are interested, naturally these tabloids have also summarized this information, although they can't inquire about some things that are too secret, but the team composition and the main achievements of the cooks are still there.

"If you take a closer look, in fact, most of the teams with similar results to us are not 'original' personnel, and almost all of them are the result of the combination of two or three old stores." Liu Pleiades said.

This can indeed have a greater advantage in the individual competition, but at the cost of the team's coordination......

"But even then, it's definitely better than us, right? After all, they can be seen as a joint team of two or three teams, and all of us are hard teams, and we don't usually ......have any cooperation," Shiomi said weakly.

Xi Jianrun's words poured cold water made Liu Pleiasion's eyes light up and said, "No, maybe...... That's right! And that's it! ”

"What are you up to?" Sigong looked at Liu Pleiades with a smile that made people want to punch up again, and couldn't help asking.

"I mean, they should be in the team and then divided into two or three groups, planning and cooking in groups...... We can do the same! Chuangzhen and Da Pleiades first determined the two auxiliary candidates, and then focused on contact, and when it came to the team competition, we cooked in the form of 2+2+1! Liu Pleiades said.

"The problem is that even if you are grouped, it will not be possible to reach it in a short period of time...... The assistants of the other teams have worked with the chef for at least several years, if not decades, and the level of tacit understanding cannot be achieved quickly. If the level of tacit understanding is not enough...... It's better to only play four people at that time, and then fight separately! Kojiro Shinomiya said.

Obviously, the four refer to himself, as well as Liu Pleiadesung, Mizuhara Fuyumi, and Dry Hinata Zi.

Although the words of the fourth palace made Sojin and Misaku a little depressed, it did make sense!

The purpose of "coordination" in the kitchen is to assign some of the relatively simple tasks of the chef to his assistants.

If a chef works with one or two chefs who have worked with him for decades, he can even exert two or three times the efficiency of himself!

In other words, although the chef's cooking skills are far inferior to the chef who works with him, as long as the two people have a tacit understanding, he can even play the role of another chef when working with the chef......

Of course, this kind of super chef not only requires skills, but more importantly, the tacit understanding of cooperation!

The higher the chef's cooking skills, the higher the requirements for tacit understanding.

Just like Sinomiya comprehended the "heart of cooking", and after his cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds, he felt that his assistant cooks were becoming more and more "in the way......

If he changes to the temper before the fourth palace, I'm afraid he will have to get out!

Fortunately, in the past year, although Sigong can't say self-cultivation, his temper has also changed a lot, and he also understands that this feeling of "getting in the way" is his own sudden progress, which makes the kitchen workers unable to adapt, so he teaches each other more patiently......

The most obvious manifestation is in the "kitchen heart".

The highest standard for measuring one's own kitchen workers and whether they have a tacit understanding with themselves is often the kitchen staff's handling of ingredients, which will not affect their own kitchen heart!

The effect of the kitchen heart in the cooking is the process of infusing the contents of the dish with the will of the chef himself......

Naturally, only in the "things on the plate" that you cook by yourself can you fill the heart of the kitchen.

Otherwise, when the Atlantean civilization and the Lemurian civilization were still there, wouldn't it be that the two civilizations chose some people to join forces in pairs, which was equivalent to having countless "dragon chefs"?

However, there are no absolutes, and it is obviously unrealistic to infuse one's own will into someone else's cuisine.

Because the essence of the mind is to use one's own cooking heart to change the "source" of the ingredients for the situation that you expect......

Changing the "source" of ingredients is something anyone can do, but it's not just arbitrary, just inadvertently changing it.

One of the special effects of the spirit kitchenware is that it can identify whether it has been artificially cooked from the change of the "source" of the ingredients......

Even if you don't know what the kitchen is about, as long as you treat the ingredients, even if it is simply shredded, sliced, and diced, it will change the origin of the ingredients.

This kind of change is not as great as the effect of directly changing the "source" with the kitchen heart, but it is not subject to personal will......

And once the "source" of the ingredients has been changed, then the chef will naturally have more obstacles when he wants to use his "kitchen heart" to make him show his will!

If you can do it without hindrance, it means that the chef has changed the "source" of the ingredients when they have processed them before, which is exactly the same as the change that the chef expects!

What is required is not how skilled the cook is, but what can be called a terrifying tacit understanding......

Therefore, the more "kitchen heart" and the more skilled the chef, the higher the requirements for the tacit understanding between the kitchen and himself, otherwise it is better to have no one to assist him.

However, this kind of example is too rare, even the chef and chef who have cooperated for decades may not be able to do it, usually if the kitchen worker is responsible for the process and the chef is five or five, that is, when the two work together, when the workload is about the same, the weakening of the chef's "kitchen heart" is less than 30%, which is already a very tacit understanding!

And this tacit understanding cannot be achieved overnight......

That's why Sigong will question Liu Pleiades's "2+2+1" strategy.

"However, if the four of them fight on their own, the final result will definitely be that the 'one meal' matches the dishes very poorly! The current '2+2+1' is based on the fact that I can fully cooperate with the other two sets of dishes, which means that as long as the two parties are in harmony with each other. Liu Pleiades retorted.

Well, the team competition is also two hours long, but the title is "one meal" instead of "one meal", which means that the final presentation, whether Chinese or Western, must be a complete meal composed of several dishes......

The overall consideration is the standard of the team competition, otherwise what is the difference between the individual competition? Each team has five people on the field, but it's just four to look out for the wind and one to cook?

According to the rules of the team competition, the optimal ratio should be "four guarantees and one", which means that four out of five people can perfectly compete with the other cook, so that they can play 500% efficiency......

In this way, all the dishes are made by one person, and the conditions are met in terms of time and coordination.

However, there are only two such teams in the qualifiers! And none of them threatened them.

Because the chef has its limitations after all, when cooperating with his old partner, he can play the role of a chef, but his own cooking skills are definitely not as good as the real chef, because most of their time has to be used to cooperate, and the chef who is willing to be a chef must not be considered talented......

And in the "All· In the "Blue" competition, each team is selected for five people and two candidates, and if four places are given to the chefs, it means that there are only three chefs who can really take charge of themselves!

Even if you don't consider the "star" issue at the time of registration, there are only three chefs, which means that individuals have no choice but to play the three of them, and then in the team competition, only the chef with four assistants can play, there is no room for choice, once there is a very unfavorable question, it is easy to lead to a full loss.

Looking at the current score ranking of the individual competition, you can see that as long as one person makes a major mistake, the whole team will not be able to advance!

On the other hand, even if you have absolute confidence, it is very rare to have four chefs who are like you and have a perfect understanding of the chef......

Because the more you cooperate with your own cook, it means that you have to talk about the more processes you have to deal with with the kitchen!

In this way, in fact, most of the teams that aim for the main competition are mostly a chef with one or two cooks, and then use the "2+3" tactic in the team competition, divided into two teams to cook separately......

If a chef is in charge, there is no need to consider the coordination of "one meal", if he cooks alone, and the final dishes are not coordinated with each other, then he is not worthy of being a chef at all.

If you are divided into two teams, you need to communicate with each other to a certain extent, and although it is a "one-on-one" cooperation, it is also a lot more troublesome.

And if it is divided into three squads...... The level of hassle of mating will increase exponentially!

Liu Pleiades proposed "2+2+1" because he defaulted to "1", because his cooking skills are inclusive, so he is confident that the other two groups can take the initiative to integrate into it without considering how to cooperate with him, or it is equivalent to "one-to-one" cooperation.

But the four of them fought on their own...... Not to mention wasting a person's position, just the coordination of "one meal" is no longer to be counted on!

The criteria for considering "one meal" are definitely different from those for "one meal......

It is important to consider not only the individual flavors of each dish, but also the harmony between each dish.

The simplest, if the final judges' meal is composed of a "scrambled egg with tomatoes", a "scrambled tomato with eggs", a "tomato clay egg", and a "tomato pot tomato", the mood will definitely not be very good!

Sigong and Liu Pleiades's thoughts seemed to be neutralized in the end......

"Then it will be in the next nine days...... No, out of the seven days, let's try to see how well we can match, and finally, three days before the start of the game, determine the final strategy! If the degree of cooperation is okay, you should try to prepare according to '2+2+1'. Liu Pleiades said.

Sigong and others obviously had no opinion on Liu Pleiaus's decision at first.

But immediately Sigong reacted, looked at Liu Yuexing suspiciously, and said, "You can't remember anything wrong, right?" Although the team competition lasts for 10 days, the order of the competition is to be drawn tomorrow morning! How can you be so sure that we will be on the last day? ”

After that, the team competition actually starts tomorrow......

But unlike the "individual competition", the team competition is not a crowded competition.

Because since the comparison is "one meal", the time for the judges to taste each team's food will inevitably be very long!

Once there is a situation where the "one meal" is completed one after another, the team that finishes it one step later is unlucky, and it is likely that it will take half an hour after finishing the meal before it is their turn to present it......

As a result, the biggest problem will be how to keep the food at its best during the half-hour period.

If it's a dish that requires a strict period of best taste, it's basically half wasted!

Therefore, decades ago, under the blood and tears of countless participants, the rules were finally changed to a fairer "wrong time" competition.

In other words, each group has its own entry time and presentation time, which cannot be early or late, and the time of each group is staggered by an hour!

Since the time has been extended, naturally I don't care about stretching it longer, so the team competition is not divided into venues, and there are only five judges, starting from the first day, every day from 12 o'clock to 10 o'clock in the evening to taste the dishes of ten to eleven teams, and after ten days, all 102 teams have completed the review.

For ten days starting tomorrow, all teams that do not play will be prohibited from leaving the hotel, and the hotel will also block all external signals to ensure that there will be no "missed questions".

However, what ingredients are needed for practice, after being checked by the competition team, they can be brought in from outside.

Anyway, there are all kinds of entertainment facilities and places in the hotel, so you don't have to worry about how boring these ten days will be......

And even more so for the "Germinate team"!

Will it be boring for 10 days? Joke! Now, ten days of practice is too little for them!

But looking forward to 10 days is the best, but it doesn't mean that there really are 10 days!

What if you are too unlucky and draw the first group to enter at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning?

"No, since the competition party has notified that the leaders of each team will draw tomorrow morning, instead of directly the official draw, then no matter what the draw is, I will definitely be able to draw until the last day!" Liu Yuexing said confidently.

“……”

Although Liu Pleiades is very confident, it is obvious that in the eyes of Sigong and others, this belongs to "mysterious self-confidence".

Liu Pleiades opened his mouth to defend something, but the words stopped in time......

The lessons of Erina's past are still in front of us!

Liu Pleiades felt that it was not wise to expose his special ability of "super five senses", for example, Liu Pleiades would tell them that the combination of his super vision and brain supplement could achieve the effect of perspective?

"If you don't believe...... That's it, if tomorrow's draw is not the last day's session, then use the method of the four houses! Liu Pleiades said.

Although Sigong and the others didn't know where Liu Pleiades got his confidence, they also believed it for a while and waited for the next morning......

At eight o'clock the next day, Liu Pleiades and others arrived at the scene of the draw on time, and it was obvious that the four palaces were still prepared for the worst, that is, they would be in the game on the same day.

"Congratulations, 4th overall in the individual competition...... Hehe, the team competition is not delayed, maybe you can advance! Nagi cut thistle walked over to Liu Pleiades.

Although he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, Liu Pleiades just looked at the smirk of the thistle that was not pleasing to the eye.

He doesn't need to draw lots, but as one of the important leaders of the "Inter-American Development Association", it is naturally not difficult to come to the lottery site.

"Where, where, how can it compare to going through the back door!" Liu Pleiades also responded with a smile.

"Hehe, I wish you all a smooth draw......" Nagi cut thistle looked completely unanswered.

Originally, Liu Pleiaus's only worry was that Nagi Cutting Thistle would make trouble and let himself be ranked in the last few to draw lots, and there may be no later games by then.

But now he knows that the order of the draw is based on the total score of each team in the individual competition, and Liu Pleiades is the fourth to go up to draw, and he is worried that there will be no later games?

In front of Liu Pleiades, the draw is the Italian Royal Cuisine Team, the Baixing Sanying Team and ...... Team Seed!

That's right, the Seed team ranked third in the overall score of the individual competition, after all, in the "Seed team", Dojima Gin's personal strength was also ranked in the top three among all the contestants, and he won a high score of more than 19!

"The Royal Italian Cuisine Team, the Hundred Stars Three English Team...... It seems that they have already secured two tickets for the main event, and all that is left is the eight teams from third to tenth place to compete for the remaining two. Liu Pleiades looked at the two teams and said.

It's not that Liu Pleiades is intimidated, because these two teams are the only two "four guarantees and one" lineup teams, and there are only three chefs among the seven players, and the other four are all chefs of one of them!

Originally, they were ahead of the other groups in the individual competition, and the team competition was their dominant event, and the advantage was so big that they "didn't know how to lose......
