Chapter 285 - Hole Cards "August 15th Arrears"
In the 10,000-person square, as the man's deep voice sounded, in the fourth area, the movements in Li Fanxing's hands stagnated slightly, and then a wry smile appeared on his face, and he sighed lightly when he shook his head, and after dropping the last knife, he stood up.

"I thought this guy had abstained, but this time it's good, I completed the carving in a few seconds ahead of me, but I hope you can fight for Nankai Catering."
Also relieved, there were also Li Long and Qing Yu in the stands, who had been heard with the sound one after another, but Wang Ming did not have much movement here, which made Yu Shao always in a state of anxiety, and even Li Long, who had always been relatively calm, had a trace of eagerness and expectation in his eyes when he looked at Wang Ming's assessment room.
"Finally caught up, this assessment, because of the double attraction of the special reward and the cover of the food weekly, many people should have done their best in the carving of this assessment, therefore, this will definitely be a real dragon fight, but I just don't know if Wang Ming can enter the top three."
Li Long muttered softly, with a slight depth in his eyes, looking at Wang Ming who was slowly walking away from the referee's seat in the distance, with a look of expectation on his face.
Wang Ming's speed of moving forward was slightly slow, and it was originally just a watermelon carving that belonged to the relief, but it was made into a hollow carving by Wang Ming, especially the fairy carved with a melon pulp in the middle, and the king of a bunch of flowers held by the fairy, which had a skillful effect.
In front of the referee's seat, together with Guangbei, Fang Shi'an, and other nineteen people stood straight, when they heard that Wang Ming had completed the assessment, Guangbei's heart was inexplicably relaxed, and at this time, his eyes swept over Wang Ming, who came slowly, and finally, when he landed on the watermelon carving that he was gently holding in his hands, a light appeared in his eyes, and then, a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Under the gaze of many eyes, Wang Ming came to the front of the remaining table, and after gently putting the watermelon carving in his hand on it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then, when his body slowly straightened up, his eyes swept over the carvings of the rest of the people on the side without a trace, and with his eyesight, he fell on the double dragon play beads at a glance, and at the moment, his eyes were slightly condensed, and when he returned to normal in an instant, he stood in front of the table expressionlessly.
"Okay, the top 20 in the first event have appeared, and the rest of the contestants continue to carve in the first item, now, let's take a look at who among these 20 people can be in the top three."
Among the five directors above the referee's seat, Director Bai moved the microphone in front of him, swept his eyes over the twenty people not far below, nodded, and then, all five of them stood up and walked towards the people below, and the so-called gourmets also stood up one by one, all of them gathered in front of everyone, and at the same time, they also attracted the attention of nearly 10,000 people in the audience.
"More than every year?"
Director Bai's eyes looked at the food carving on the first table, which was a red carp carved out of a large red heart radish, the tail of the carp swayed slightly, and the mouth was wide open towards the sky, the carving technique was slightly rough, and the thickness of the scales seemed to be slightly off.
Director Bai nodded slightly, and then, walking towards the second table, looking at the portrait of the Monkey King carved from pumpkins on it, carrying a yellow golden hoop stick in his hand, and the palm of his right hand was slightly bent, covering the bottom of his forehead, as if he was watching.
"The Great Sage has returned."
Pei Yongjian read softly, and slowly shook his head, in the return of this great sage, there was no purple gold crown on his head, and the thickness of the golden hoop rod also had an extremely small deviation, and as his voice fell, the rest of the people also nodded, and the gourmets of the five directors and the ten-person group looked ahead, and landed on a peacock welcome food sculpture, at the moment, Director Bai stepped forward, and when he smiled on his face, he smiled and nodded at the contestants in front of the table.
"This peacock welcomes guests, lifelike, the knife skills are refined, and it is done in one go, not bad, very good."
Director Bai's voice fell, and everyone in the back nodded frequently, looking at the peacock on the table with a hint of agility in the welcome, most of the people also showed appreciation in their eyes.
"What's your name, young man? Where to work? ”
Director Bai asked with a smile, and as his voice fell, the young chef who carved a peacock to welcome the guests straightened up, and looked energetic, making everyone on the side show their expressions of appreciation again.
"Lin Jinghui, Heping Restaurant, Heping District, specializing in cold meat carving, national second-class chef."
The young man spoke with a grim expression, his body standing straight, not looking like a chef, but more like a well-trained soldier.
"Well... Yes, work hard. ”
Stretched out his hand and patted Lin Jinghui's shoulder, Director Bai walked towards the back again, but this time, maybe there was a peacock to welcome the guests, and he had seen six or seven people in a row, and he didn't have any works that could get into the eyes of Director Bai.
"Huh? This is? A hundred birds are looking forward to the phoenix, right? Can be carved in the way of the whole bird to produce this hundred birds and phoenix, and although the shape is peculiar, but it gives people a sense of nature, the main ingredient of the rectangular pumpkin, the use of semi-hollow knife to carve, the idea is good, the courage is commendable, and the quality of the finished product is also very good, not bad, haha. ”
Director Bai smiled and said, if this hundred birds are like a peacock to welcome guests, it should not be inferior in the slightest, and the feathers on each bird are layered, and the knife skills are soft, if it is not for some losses in color, it should be a little stronger than the peacock welcome.
"Thank you, my name is Feng Yan, and I am from Yangshangshu Restaurant in Hexi District."
This time, without waiting for Director Bai to speak, the young man who carved a hundred birds and a phoenix spoke, with a rich smile on his face with a little respect, and he thought that he also knew that the five people in front of him had an almost transcendent position in the Dongjiang catering industry.
"Young and promising, they are all future stars in my catering industry, continue to work hard, it's very good."
Director Bai said with a smile, and then, as his eyes moved, he walked out again towards the front, and everyone behind him also nodded with a smile and followed behind.
Pei Yongjian is very depressed, the five of them are the administrative directors of the five districts, it stands to reason that there should be no difference between high and low, and because Director Bai is the oldest of the five, and the Heping District he is in charge of is the city center, and the young chefs in some restaurants in the Heping District have maintained at least the top two in the previous culinary competitions, therefore, the remaining four people have always maintained respect for Director Bai, plus there are internal rumors that the next vice president of the Culinary Association will be the position of Director Bai, it is very likely that Director Bai will take over, therefore, Even if Director Bai usually thinks that he is the head of the five, the other four people also acquiesce.
But now in the face of nearly 10,000 onlookers, and there is a specially hired ten-person food group behind him, Director Bai still looks like I am the leader, but for the first time, Bei Yongjian has some discomfort, looking at the figure of Director Bai in front of him, Pei Yongjian took a deep breath, but there was a trace of displeasure in his eyes and disappeared.
For everything that Pei Yongjian thought in his heart in the rear, Bai Hua didn't know, he was in a happy mood at the moment, and the smile on his old face couldn't stop at all, as the executive director of the Culinary Association of Heping District, the previous cooking competitions, in the end, the contestants in Heping District were almost eighty percent sure that they could win the first place, which seemed to have become a default rule, and this year's one, the final result, he could probably guess it, at this moment, some spring breeze proudly walked in front of everyone, and couldn't suppress the joy, makes him look very kind, and it gives people a strong affinity and penetration.
"Huh? Double Dragon Pearl! ”
Director Bai's footsteps paused slightly, and his somewhat cloudy eyes looked at a carved lifelike food sculpture on the table in front of him.
Two small yellow dragons open their teeth and dance claws, as if churning in the clouds and mist, the dragon's head is hideous and realistic, the lines of the dragon body are smooth and natural, and the scales cut out on it are also layered, the center of the two dragons opposite, there is a circular sphere about one centimeter square, connecting the two yellow dragons, so that when the white director's eyes suddenly lit up, the footsteps came briskly to the front of the eagle of the two dragons playing with pearls.
"Very good, looking at your clothes, it should be from Lishunde, Heping District, right? This skillful carving technique seems to be very familiar, who are you Gong Jun? ”
Director Bai smiled slightly, and looked at the young man in front of him with a little kindness, the young man was dressed in a white overall, and there was a red word on the cuffs.
"Director Huibai, my name is Qin Zhen, the chef of Lishunde in Heping District, Gong Jun is my master, and they all call me Xiao Zhenzi."
Qin Zhen's voice fell, Director Bai nodded with a smile, and when his body turned slightly, he looked at the people behind him and smiled.
"You guys take a look at this double dragon play beads, a very interesting carving method, the finished product is not bad, I think, the top three this time, if nothing else, it is almost three."
Bai Hua said with a smile, his heart was already happy, among the three, now there are two places in the Heping Zone, which makes him happy, this kind of achievement is enough to make him proud.
"It's not proper, there are still a few contestants, and the results will be released after watching them together, so I can give an explanation to the audience outside the venue."
Pei Yongjian took two steps forward, although he was young, he also had his own arrogance, at this time, as his voice fell, Bai Director's eyes condensed slightly, and he nodded when he returned to normal.
"That's nature, let's go, and see what else is worth paying attention to next."
Director Bai chuckled, and as the voice came out, he took the lead in front and walked out again, and after looking at the three of them with a confident face, he shook his head and his eyes fell on the last food eagle.
"Huh?"
Director Bai frowned slightly, and when he looked up, his eyes moved away from the food carving, and fell on Wang Ming's body, and when he nodded slowly, he took a step forward, and his cloudy eyes kept looking at the watermelon carving in front of Wang Ming.
"Wang Ming, right? What is the name of this work? ”
Director Bai asked softly, there was doubt in his eyes, the watermelon carving in front of him was fresh and natural for the knife technique, the outline construction was also very reasonable, and most importantly, the color and luster were also just right, each flower carved out the deep meaning and artistic conception contained in it, even the lines on the leaves, were clearly marked, which made Director Bai slightly frightened, and recalled the name of the boy in front of him in his mind.
"The Heavenly Maiden scatters flowers."
Wang Ming said indifferently, as his voice fell, Director Bai nodded thoughtfully, and at this time, the rest of the four directors and the food group of ten people also gathered one after another, and in the discussion, it was difficult to distinguish the superiority.
"I think this goddess scattered flowers are better than the peacock welcome and the hundred birds and the phoenix, as for the double dragon playing with pearls, it is a little difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom, vote to solve it."
Director Bai frowned slightly, and most of the people also expressed their attitude, thinking that Wang Ming's watermelon carving could squeeze into the top three, and Director Bai himself knew that this watermelon carving had reached an impeccable point in terms of technique and delicacy, and when he spoke softly at this moment, everyone around him nodded slowly.
As for Wang Ming's watermelon carving and double dragon play beads, after everyone discussed, when looking at the smile on the face of the white director in front of him, Wang Ming on the side noticed that something was wrong, the hollow of the watermelon carving is very difficult, but it is on top of the double dragon play beads, and he still has the hole cards that are not completely revealed. After looking at the time, he spoke softly.
"Well, I'm sorry, please wait a minute." (To be continued.) )
