Chapter 67: A Thousand Purples and a Thousand Reds
The red carpet and entertainment performances outside the venue gradually came to an end as people entered the venue, and Qi Shao finally shouted to the crowd of onlookers: "Everyone, do you want to watch a wonderful cooking duel for a while, do you want to taste the beautiful food for a while, what are you hesitating about, hurry up and buy tickets to enter the venue, time is running out, okay, don't say much, I'm going to enter the infield to host, I hope to see you in a while, goodbye." As Qi Shao walked into the venue, the performance outside officially came to an end.
Yan Fei, who was waiting in the waiting area, looked boredly at the stage in the center, where the prizes of the champions of this year's King of Chef Competition, a set of customized cooking utensils. At this time, Qi Shao has already started his real work today: "Everyone, the King of Chefs competition is about to start, now please everyone who has not yet sat down, hurry up and find your place, after taking a seat, I hope you will be quiet when the participating chefs are cooking food, and I hope you will not be stingy with your applause when you are tasting the food, thank you." "Well, it's almost time, please pay attention to all departments, please be in place, all the chefs on the waiting scene, Qi Shao is ready to start, now count down to 10 seconds, 10, 9, 83, 2, 1, start." The director looked at his watch and began to inform.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the audience in front of the TV, now you are watching the World Chef Championship held by the Guangsheng Consortium, here is our competition site, let us invite our chairman Tian Guangzhi and his beloved son with the warmest applause." The Tian family father and son were dressed very formally today, and they did not forget to wave to the audience when they walked to the rostrum, as if they regarded themselves as leaders. Qi Shao continued: "Next, we invite our chief judges to appear today, they are the world-famous chef Mr. Qu Hao, the world-famous chef Mr. Yukimura Yano and the three-Michelin-starred chef Mr. Bob, let us welcome the three. "The three chefs walked to the judges' bench in chef suits, perhaps to give a sense of seriousness, so they didn't greet the audience all the way." Let's invite all the participating chefs, they are Mr. Steve, a Michelin-starred chef, Ms. Tracy, the leader of Japanese teppanyaki, Mr. Kim Youyeol, the Korean national chef, Mr. Yan Fei, and Mr. Inoue Muraji, the soul of the Japanese chef industry, let us welcome them with the warmest applause. When listening to the host read out the names of these contestants, Itato Yohei said softly to Yan Fei: "Friend, it seems that this Tian Guangzhi has worked hard to invite so many masters to deal with you, to be honest, I really envy you!" Yan Fei smiled bitterly: "You also envy this, then you can take it, I would rather not compete with this gang, but this is full of the Tian family, and the next step is not just a hard battle." Itato Yohei patted his chest and said, "Have you forgotten the old saying of your country, soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and no matter how cunning the fox is, it can't fight a good hunter." The miracle standing behind the two of them whispered to Yan Fei: "Boss, did you say that the three referees also colluded with Tian Guangzhi, if that's the case, let's go home directly, anyway, the result is a win." Itato Yohei shook his head: "You can rest assured of this, just rush them to invite Yukimura Yano, and the referee of this game will definitely be fair." Yan Fei asked suspiciously, "Do you know him very well?" Itato said, "I don't know, but he has always been known for his fairness in our Japanese chef industry, and he has a very high reputation, which is not something that ordinary people can sway with money." Yan Fei nodded after hearing this.
After all the chefs walked to their own cooking area in turn, Qi Shao continued: "Next, please ask Chef Qu Hao to read out the rules and content of the competition. "Hello everyone, I am the chief referee of this competition Qu Hao, this chef competition is for a total of three days, the daily cooking time is one and a half hours, the contestants can raise their hands as long as they complete the dishes, we will taste and score for the first time, those who do not complete within the specified time will be regarded as a failure, and will not have the opportunity to continue to participate in the competition, these three days are proposed by our three judges, and the chefs need to cook around these topics, if the chef cooks the dishes that do not meet the meaning of the topic, then it is regarded as out, On the first day, we will select 4 players, 2 players on the second day, and compete for the final championship on the third day," and then he said something similar to fairness, openness, justice, friendship, first competition, and second competition, and nagged for a long time before handing the microphone back to Qi Shao's hand.
"Thank you, our esteemed Chef Qu, the next game has officially begun, first of all, please ask the referee to give today's topic." After listening to him, everyone's eyes fell on the three referees, maybe the three had discussed the proposition in advance, only to see Chef Bob hand the service staff a scroll, and suddenly the eyes of the audience were fixed on this scroll, the service staff came to the middle of the venue, gently opened the scroll, and saw that there were four big words clearly written on it. Thousands of purples and thousands of reds', suddenly the audience in the audience discussed this proposition, and at the same time, Yan Fei's heart also began to think about the true meaning of these four words, it is obvious that the color of this dish must be diverse, but on this basis, it can not destroy the effect and taste of the whole dish, and a seemingly simple proposition is actually a hidden mystery.
Several other chefs were also thinking about it, but the iron plate chef from Japan, King Kamataro, had already started to cook the ingredients, but he saw that he took back the colorful vegetables and meat from the ingredients area, handed the meat to his assistant, and took care of the vegetables himself. After washing all kinds of vegetables with water, Kamataro began to change the knife, and I don't know if it was because he made teppanyaki all year round or on purpose, each vegetable he cut was very large, but it was very neat, and after the vegetables were cut, Kamataro stood there quietly, as if waiting for something. At this point, the French chef Steve also took action, and he also reached for the colorful vegetables, and unlike Kamataro, he did not change the ingredients, but put each color of the ingredients into the juicer. Then the remaining three people also moved, Kim Youyeol took a few vegetables and meat and eggs, Tracy took a bunch of fruits and returned to his cooking table, the most jaw-dropping was Inoue Muraji, he went to the edge of the pond with live fish, caught a few fish with a net, and went to the chilled area to get some colorful seafood. Itato Yohei, who was standing next to Yan Fei, reminded: "Friend, haven't you thought about what to cook yet, the other party has already started, if you don't do it again, we will lose." "Yan Fei didn't think about the game at all just now, he was watching what the other opponents were doing, and after Itato reminded him like this, he came to his senses, "Ten thousand purples and thousands of reds", "Itato, what do you say, the color is good-looking, and the taste is good." Yan Fei asked thoughtfully. Vegetables, don't you look at the vegetables that those people take? Itato replied. The color of that thing is not bright and luster, and the visual impact is not strong. Yan Fei denied Itato's answer. Boss, if you want to say that it is beautiful and brightly colored, it must be flowers, but you can't eat that thing. Wang Xiao muttered on the side. Yes, that's it, we're going to do it today. Yan Fei said excitedly. What are we doing, you haven't said anything so excited? Itato asked. Make flowers. Yan Fei replied. But Boss, can they provide us with that kind of material, this is a cooking contest and not a flower viewing party. "Miracle spoke out about his concerns." Let's take a look. After Yan Fei finished speaking, he took the lead in walking towards the material area. After walking around, Wang Xiao said to Yan Fei: "Boss, there are flowers, but they are all decorative, you can't eat them" Yan Fei smiled indifferently: "Who said you can't eat it, miracle Wang Xiao, you two bring back all the lilies, chrysanthemums, roses, and lotuses to me." After saying that, he smiled and walked back. Leaving the three of them looking at each other, no one knew whether what Yan Fei said was true or false, but since the family had spoken, they had to move, and the three of them took back several flowers in turn. This move immediately caused a commotion at the scene, "Look, our local player took a bunch of flowers, is this to be arranged?" "Is he going to cook with flowers?" "I've only eaten pastries made of flowers, but I've never eaten a dish made of flowers, so I'm looking forward to it." "There are people in the south who cook with flowers, but we have never seen them here." Wang He, who was in the viewing area, saw Yan Fei's move, and his heart suddenly rose, and he asked Bai Yi next to him a little nervously: "What kind of game is Yan Fei playing, he always doesn't play cards according to common sense, what if he really loses." Bai Yi smiled: "Sister He, don't you think that as long as Boss Yan doesn't play his cards according to common sense, we will win." Wang He asked with a puzzled look: "Yes, why don't I feel it?" Cheng Yan took over: "Don't worry, Sister He, Boss Yan has not turned danger into a disaster, this time is no exception, you have to have confidence in him." ”
Besides, in the arena, Wang Xiao and Miracle and Itato Yohei were handling flowers according to Yan Fei's meaning, while Xiang Fei stood aside and carefully observed the other players. Miracle whispered to the two: "Do you think the boss has no bottom of his heart, so he made this strategy to deal with the game." Wang Xiao somewhat disagreed with his point of view: "It's a matter of life and death, can the boss not go all out." Itato Yohei continued the words of the two and said: "I also agree with Wang Xiao's statement, I believe that Yan Fei will not let us down." In fact, their conversation was clear, and he only smiled at it.
Kametaro, who was still recuperating with his eyes closed just now, suddenly opened his eyes, turned around and instructed his subordinates, and soon his assistant brought up a large piece of steak.
