"Barrels for utensils? Sauna. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Looking at Wang Ming's gradually fading back, Wang Wendong shook his head and chuckled, his nervousness eased a little, and then, looking at the number slip in his hand, he walked towards the place where his group was.

Wang Ming came to the No. 8 team area where he was, stopped at his place, and after putting down the required materials, Wang Ming's eyes swept over the operation room where he was, and nodded with satisfaction.

The assessment of the operation room is about 20 square meters, all the kitchen utensils are very clean and bright, whether it is space or utensils, Wang Ming has participated in these competitions can not be compared, and the space is also separated by a one-person high partition board, only the appearance of the rest of the contestants on the left and right sides can be seen, but the movements in the hands can not be seen at all.

After checking his knives and raw materials again as before, Wang Ming stood down next to the conditioning table with peace of mind, his slender figure, combined with the white snow uniform, made him look a little more handsome.

"First of all, I am very happy that you can be selected from your respective regions to participate in this year's cooking competition, and the fifty people who are still in the assessment area are still in the assessment area, so to speak, you are all new stars in the chef world, and if you give some time, you will definitely make achievements in your respective fields."

"This year, unlike the previous competitions, starting from the regular cooking, we have given the contestants more choices, no longer using a fixed assessment method, all the contestants to cook the raw materials of the dishes, their own purchase in advance, after the successful conclusion of the cooking competition, we will give a unified reimbursement."

In the loudspeaker, the thick male voice suddenly sounded, making the tens of thousands of people in the stands gradually quiet, and in all the assessment areas, almost the vast majority of the contestants raised their heads and looked at the five people on the referee's seat, some chefs with some qualifications, recognized at a glance, and several people sitting on the referee's seat at the moment represented the helmsman of the catering industry in the five districts of Dongjiang City, and Bei Yongjian, the director of Nankai District, Wang Ming recognized it at a glance.

"It turned out to be him."

Wang Ming's gaze retracted, and when he secretly said in his heart, he silently listened to the sound coming from the loudspeaker, and after the sound in front fell, the deep sound sounded again in the loudspeaker.

"As a five-district regular season, fifty people are blended together, divided into ten small regions, after the end of the regular season, each group will have two promotion places, and as for the assessment items, the first assessment item is food carving, as for the second item, cook a dish that you are best at, after our referee review, the food group we formed this time will taste and score, and finally participate in the top ten competition for the screening of twenty people."

"The first item of the regular season, carving, all participants, show their own level, although there is no specific time limit for this assessment, in order to show their best works, among the top 20 contestants who can be the first to complete the works, three works will be selected to appear on the cover of the next issue of Food Weekly, and there will be unexpected surprise rewards. Now, I announce that the first carving link of the Dongjiang City Culinary Competition...... Begin. ”

In the loudspeaker, there was a strong sound again, and as the sound fell, in the 10,000-person square, the noisy sound disappeared, and countless eyes fell on the ten areas that were divided under the stage, with excitement and expectation on their faces, and many people had an extremely strong interest in the art of food carving.

Within the ten areas, almost everyone moved, and when they were calm, they sat in the assessment room where they were and began to preliminarily process the raw materials in their hands.

Because it is a whole carving, and it is a very important regular season, almost everyone chooses more bright raw materials, enough to have about two catties of big carrots, heart beauty, small winter melon, seaweed head, etc., all appear in everyone's sight.

In the thirty-sixth area, Wang Ming's eyes lit up, and he had a trace of interest in the so-called unexpected reward, and when a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he touched his nose, and then brought the bag next to the conditioning table, and took out a watermelon with about ten catties from it, put it on the cooking table in front of him, pulled the stool closer, and sat down steadily.

"Appeal ......"

Almost most of the audience's eyes moved within a few areas, and therefore, many people immediately discovered the situation in Wang Ming's area, and when they saw the big watermelon on the conditioning table, they all made bursts of calls, and at the moment, more eyes were also watching.

"Wouldn't it? This carving contest, playing with watermelon? Look at that head is not small, what a waste of time, and the watermelon pulp is crisp and soft, it will break if you are not careful, although there is no time limit for the game, but in order to attract attention, this is too self-destructive future, it is estimated that when he finishes carving, the second assessment of others has also been completed. ”

"Watermelon carving, this kind of carving I have seen, requires a strong knife skills, in addition, it is also very important to grasp the time, the watermelon pulp should not be exposed to the air for too long, otherwise there will be a certain degree of oxidation, which will affect the color, at this time the choice of watermelon carving, it is indeed not too wise."

"Look at it, I heard that this time there is a Yufulou in the Nankai audition, the momentum is very strong, one of the contestants is seventeen or eighteen years old, the knife skills are very powerful, look at this thirty-six, it should be this age, if it is really the same person, there should be some hole cards."

Everyone whispered and whispered, and in the assessment area, everyone began to carve with full attention, and in the thirty-sixth assessment room, Wang Ming's dark eyes were closed, and in his mind, the pattern of watermelon carving emerged, and in the continuous rotation, the No. 2 mulberry knife was grabbed by him, and when his eyes opened, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Poof."

The No. 2 mulberry knife in his hand fell quickly, and after cutting out a part of the watermelon with rhizomes, he put it down facing down, so that the round watermelon fell smoothly on the cooking table, Wang Ming took a deep breath, and then, the flat knife in his hand began to move slowly.

"Snort..."

The sneering sound produced by the tip of the flat knife touching the watermelon skin came out, Wang Ming's expression was solemn, and the fall of each knife, whether it was the depth or the strength of the knife, was controlled at a corresponding scale.

This kind of carving method, the scientific name is called hollow carving, first carve out the required pattern on the surface of the watermelon, and then, remove the excess part of the rest of the surface, and finally, improve the pattern again, so that it protrudes outside the melon, with the help of the color of the melon, to reconcile the single color of the pattern.

The carved colors of watermelons are divided into three types, dark cyan, red and blue-white, and when intertwined, they also solve the problem of a single color of the whole carving.

The speed of the carving knife in Wang Ming's hand gradually increased, and after marking the pattern and pattern outline on the surface of the watermelon, the tip of the knife extended the outside of the pattern, and in the gentle sliding, a small piece of watermelon skin began to fall gently.

Wang Ming's expression was focused, but the frequency of the flat knife in his hand was still accelerating, and the precautions and points about the hollow carving in his mind emerged one by one, gradually, on the original dark green watermelon, the shape of a peony flower began to appear, and then, as the melon skin fell, under the flowers, two life-like leaves and flower paths also slowly emerged, as for the other areas, with the flat knife in Wang Ming's hand quickly crossed, the entire ten-pound large watermelon, a total of six flowers with different shapes, appeared on it.

The flowers appeared, Wang Ming began to repair, the repair of the flower path and leaves was undoubtedly simpler, after repairing the edge area more rounded, Wang Ming's gaze fell on the six petals.

"Snort..."

The flat-edged knife in the hand is either carefully cut off the extra little part, or the water chestnut is repaired more naturally, and the flowers are trimmed, and the roses that are ready to bloom are ready to bloom with buds, the luxurious peonies, the matiti lotus with the stamens, the lotus flowers with clear edges, and the moon flowers and peonies, as if competing to open.

Wang Ming's heart is as fine as hair, at this moment it seems to have entered a state of selflessness, and even the lines and veins on the flowers and leaves have been carefully carved out by him, time passes, in a blink of an eye, there is the first contestant to complete the assessment of the carving link, and then, the second place, the third place... Up to the sixteenth place.

In this regard, Wang Ming as if he had not heard of it, after processing these details, the knife edge was stretched out, and the dark green melon skin color on the flowers was slightly scraped with a carving knife, until five minutes passed again, and all six flowers were repaired, Wang Ming frowned, but there was still no intention to stop, and at this time, the contestants who participated in the first assessment, nearly 20 people have completed the works in their hands, and began the preparation for the second assessment.

"Seemingly, something is missing."

Looking at the six flowers in front of him, the watermelon pulp in it was also repaired by Wang Ming to be round, and in some places deliberately cut it with the tip of a knife, like a rubbing knife, carved out the inner triangle of the horizontal road.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Wang Ming's eyes lit up, and then, the flat knife in his hand poked out again, and the watermelon inside began to peel off piece by piece.

"Dengyinglou, Guangbei, complete the assessment."

As the sound came out of the loudspeaker again, Guangbei, who was located in the No. 2 assessment area, stood up and looked at the birthday boy carved out in front of him, his face showed a hint of relief.

"What? Are the mountains and rivers exhausted? This time, isn't it a fight? ”

Guangbei chuckled, and as his voice fell, he picked up the birthday guy on the conditioning table, and walked quickly towards the referee's seat, and when he came to the front of the referee's seat, he looked at the twenty small tables under the referee's seat, on which there were already more than a dozen pieces of food carving works, and all the works were made by the small table, and there were three of them, with a little pride on their faces, and none of these three contestants belonged to Nankai District.

Hundreds of birds and phoenixes, peacocks welcome, double dragons... Play beads.

A gloomy color flashed on Guangbei's face, then he took a deep breath, walked to the only two tables that were still free, put his carving works on the table, and when he stood aside, in his mind, Wang Ming's slender figure appeared in his mind, and it seemed that at this moment, the invisible hatred for Wang Ming in his heart also quietly dissipated.

"There is still a place, it is estimated that this time, Nankai District will be at the bottom again..."

In the thirty-sixth area, the flat-edged knife in Wang Ming's hand was even faster, and as the last knife fell, it had been modified into a round watermelon pulp before, and it suddenly became a fairy pattern wearing red clothes, with clear and natural lines, and a king of flowers in his hand...

A handful of budding peony flowers!

Wang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully picked up the watermelon on the cooking table, and then, under the gaze of many eyes, slowly walked towards the referee's seat.

"Yufu Building, Wang Ming, complete the assessment." (To be continued.) )
