Gong Baorou was found by Sun Fugui the night before the competition. Sun Fugui went against the usual giggle, but told Gong Baorou very formally and sternly that he didn't know whether to say good or bad news.

The flow and rules of the tournament have changed.

It stands to reason that the process and rules of such an official competition are fixed in order to ensure relative fairness. This time, the process and rules were changed the night before the competition, which means that Gong Baorou's hard work in the past few days has been in vain.

"Why did it change?" Gong Baorou frowned and asked puzzled.

Sun Fugui sneered: "There is no official news coming out, but it is said that the judges this time are very big, so big that the entire competition team has to change the process and rules of the competition for this reason, in order to cater to the other party." ”

Big judges? Gong Baorou only hated that she didn't pay attention to these news when she was 15 years old, and now she doesn't know anything with a black eye.

Sun Fugui saw that Gong Baorou's expression was quite frustrated, thinking that she was worried, so he comforted: "It's okay, I believe you are good, not to mention that you are only fifteen years old, and there will be many opportunities in the future." "There is no rule that you can't participate in the rookie selection competition after participating in a rookie selection competition, and there is only an age limit for the Haicheng rookie chef selection competition, and there is no limit on the number of times.

Gong Baorou didn't worry about whether she would be eliminated soon, in her impression, among the chefs of her generation, not to mention in the whole country, at least in Haicheng, she was counted.

"I see." Gong Baorou nodded.

After a rough selection, there were about 700 people who stayed to participate in this selection competition, mainly in the age group of 20 to 25 years old. Gong Baorou participated in a low-age competition, a total of about 300 people, and she was still very advantageous. Because of the large number of participants, the preliminary round is divided into three days, with the morning of each day being for the younger ages and the afternoon for the older ages. Everyone went in the order of drawing, and Gong Baorou was the one hundred and eleventh, ranking on the second day.

The preliminary round used to be a specialty dish for each person, but now it has become, the organizing committee gives a theme, and then cooks according to the theme, a total of three themes, one per day. The most important thing is that the rules also add a time limit, in the upper right corner of the cooking table, there is a button, you can press the button after a dish is done, more than 100 players a day, as long as the top 50 finishes it, the latter will automatically lose the qualification. Gong Baorou couldn't say whether it was good or not, and even though there was no competition for her on the first day, she still went. Sun Fugui's position was on the judges' bench, and there were a total of fifteen people with him, all of whom were famous chefs and gourmets in the entire Haicheng. Before the game started, Gong Baorou followed Sun Fugui to the backstage and happened to meet a person.

It was a tall, thin man with gold-rimmed glasses and a sven look. He was accompanied by a boy about the same age as Gong Baorou.

"Hello, Mr. Sun." The man said hello to Sun Fugui, but Sun Fugui, who should be very enthusiastic in Gong Baorou's heart, just nodded this time, responded extremely coldly, and did not say hello back.

The man didn't mind, looked at Gong Baorou and said, "I heard that Mr. Sun accepted a female apprentice, and he must have brought it, right?" What a lovely girl. ”

Sun Fugui's brows furrowed: "Didn't you also bring someone here?" ”

The man nodded: "I'm just taking Ah Ye to meet the world and go through the motions." Seeing that Sun Fugui was already very impatient, Gong Baorou kept her head down, so she said, "I'll go first", and then left with the boy.

Gong Baorou raised her head slightly, but met the eyes of the boy named "Ah Ye", and the boy snorted, his eyes full of disdain and mockery.

It's just a child who doesn't know the height of the sky. Gong Baorou lightly withdrew her gaze and did not respond.

"Do you know who that person is?" Sun Fugui didn't look back, "An administrative manager of Haicheng Hotel, his name is Xiao Wenkang, and the person next to him is Xiao Wenye, his younger brother. ”

Gong Baorou keenly sensed that Sun Fugui's tone was wrong, and looked up at him. Sure enough, Sun Fugui's eyes were full of anger, and his expression was clear: "I'm afraid we are here to accompany the prince to study this time!" ”

Accompany the prince to study? Gong Baorou recalled the boy's provocation and smiled inwardly. Just like that, let her accompany her?

Sun Fugui didn't pay attention to Gong Baorou's expression, and continued: "Although Xiao Wenye is young, he has already emerged among the chefs of this generation, and many people regard him as the leader of the new generation of chefs in Haicheng, and now he is praised as a little famous in the country. Haicheng Hotel has always been slightly inferior in reputation compared with Haicheng Hotel, so when Xiao Wenye could participate in the newcomer selection competition a few years ago, Haicheng Hotel actually didn't let him go, which made many of us puzzled, but I didn't expect that they actually played this idea. "Do you want to pick up Xiao Wenye directly? And then by the way, to improve the reputation of the entire Haicheng Hotel.

In this world, plans can't keep up with changes. Gong Baorou thought with confidence that she would not lose to such a little hairy child, and the idea of Haicheng Hotel might be in vain.

When the competition began, there was a vacant seat on the judges' bench, and it seemed that the so-called "very big" judge did not come. Gong Baorou could see that many people in the judges' table showed expressions of disdain, impatience, or anger. Sun Fugui, on the other hand, has always been smiling.

The competition has officially begun.

China has a large population and a large base, which is both a disadvantage and an advantage. There are many, many talents hidden in those huge populations, waiting to be discovered. At least, Gong Baorou saw a few talents that were not bad. It's a pity, maybe because I'm too nervous, the progress of the guide is a little slow.

Gong Baorou shook her head secretly, and suddenly a ridicule sounded.

"What's the matter, is it because you see these useless guys that you feel sympathy?"

Gong Baorou didn't even have to look back to know that this must be Xiao Wenye. So she didn't want to deal with him.

"It's really pathetic." Xiao Wenye was not silent because of Gong Baorou's cold treatment, but intensified his ridicule and ridicule.

It seems that there are 10,000 flies buzzing in your ears, how can people watch the game with peace of mind? Gong Baorou finally couldn't help but tilt her head, and her tone was extremely indifferent.

"You are the same as they are in my eyes, no, you are even more pitiful, because you are ignorant and unaware, and you are so arrogant that you don't know the height of the sky."

"You!" Xiao Wenye was choked up, where was he willing to give up, "You are just a person who doesn't know anything, I will soon become a world-class chef, at that time, you may just be a small chef in the Haicheng Hotel!" ”

"I'd love to be a little chef at Haicheng Hotel!" Gong Baorou retorted, got up and left this place, it was too naïve to fight with a child or something.

Just as the competition was about to end, and the fifty chefs had been □□selected and were about to be scored, a staff member hurriedly came up from the backstage and whispered a few words to the host. The smile on the host's face was undisguised, and he coughed lightly a few times, attracting the attention of the audience.

"Excuse me, at the end of the competition, the master we have been wanting to invite finally came to the scene, this person is the world's first senior technician to obtain the Chinese cooking professional qualification certificate, and also our national treasure in China, Master Li Haoying!"

Master Li Haoying?! Gong Baorou's eyes widened in disbelief. How is this possible?!
