Chapter 131: Knockout (3)
Man Qing and Summer walked to the stage together, and Man Qing first said, "Summer, how do you feel about today's cooking competition?" ”
Summer smiled and said, "I feel that today's game is more exciting than the previous game." The contestants are also more engaged, and they come face-to-face with their opponents, which is also a big challenge for them. Several contestants performed very well and presented famous dishes in front of us. I didn't taste the flavors of these dishes, but judging by the expressions of the experts, they all tasted pretty good! "I think so, but this tournament is a knockout tournament, and while we all want the good players to stay on the stage, we have to make a choice." Manqing said.
"Yes, it was a difficult decision for our jury to make such a choice!" Summer nodded.
Manqing continued, "Now, let's ask our players to enter their respective positions. In front of them is their Star Dou, and whoever is able to collect more stars will be able to advance to the next round. Before the judges make a decision, let's hear what our panel of judges had to say about the contestants. ”
The expert group has gathered their opinions together, and Man Chengde is the leader of the expert review this time, and it is natural for him to announce the comments.
Man Chengde looked around at the four contestants and bowed slightly, "First of all, thank you to the contestants for bringing us a very wonderful cooking performance." Each contestant did their best to fully display their cooking skills in front of the audience. They are all elites in the culinary industry, and the level of cooking skills represents the level of the culinary industry in Qiantang to a certain extent. Every player takes this game very seriously. Every member of our jury is faced with an extremely difficult choice today, because the gap between the contestants can be said to be very small. ”
"Next, on behalf of the expert judging team, I would like to comment on the cooking skills of several contestants. I'll just comment on the order in which we tasted the dishes. First up was the number 8, who once again gave us a huge surprise. He once again used his golden finger to cook a seemingly ordinary dish to the extreme, making us understand the famous dish of Qiantang, and the taste of any dish is unimaginably delicious. ”
Man Chengde paused for a moment and continued, "This fish head soup, yesterday, looked extremely ordinary, the contestants did not show any excitement in the cooking process, and the appearance of the dishes was also extremely ordinary, but it is such a dish that gave us an unparalleled taste feast." All the judges used the most simple language to express it, that is, it is really delicious! ”
Man Chengde's comments on the riverside surprised the audience in the audience, and no one expected that this most unpopular dish would be so highly praised. But the results have not yet come out, although there are some doubts about this evaluation, but I still continue to calmly listen to Manchengde continue to comment.
"Next, the No. 23 contestant's 'Hundred Birds and Phoenix', the whole cooking process let all the audience appreciate a wonderful cooking process, the No. 23 contestant's cooking is like an artistic creation, he carefully portrayed a very exquisite work of art.
The color, flavor and quality of cooking are fully reflected. Every bird you see in this 'Hundred Birds and Phoenix' is lifelike, it is simply an artistic sculpture, and from these aspects, we can see how superb the cooking skills of the No. 23 contestant are! ”
Man Chengde took a sip of water, "In addition, let's look at the flavor of the 23rd." The meat of the chicken is tender and smooth, revealing a rich and refreshing fragrance. It can be seen that the contestant has also done a very good job in the regulation of taste. ”
Man Chengde then commented on Wu Jianhua and Fang Junyi, and throughout the process, he only commented on the contestants' cooking itself, and did not compare any contestants at all, so as not to affect the final judgment of the jury members.
"Thanks to the wonderful comments of the judges, it is the most exciting time for each member of our expert judging team and each member of the public judging team to give our contestants their own star. Their decision will ultimately determine whether the contestant will stay or not! Manqing said.
Summer continued, "First of all, the duel between the No. 8 and No. 23 players, and the judges are asked to vote for the stars in turn in front of the players of your choice. ”
The members of the judging team walked to the stage one by one, first of all, a judging expert, who voted the first star for Jiangbian, so that Jiangbian took the lead.
"The first judge voted for the star in his hand to Jiangbian, and Jiangbian temporarily led 1:0!" Manqing said.
"The next thing to do is the public judges. Let's see which of the two players he will choose. Manqing said.
The public judge quickly ran to the riverside and whispered, "The dishes you cook taste so wonderful, I didn't expect you to have such good cooking skills at such a young age, I am optimistic, you are the champion in my mind!" ”
Cheng Feizhou was a little embarrassed, and cast stars to his opponent twice in a row, which made him a little embarrassed.
"Player No. 8 is already 2 stars ahead! Is there anything our No. 23 contestant would like to say to our jury? Canvassing! ”
Summer said that after all, this is not a simple cooking show, but also an entertainment, so the contestants are allowed to canvass for votes in the voting process.
Cheng Feizhou took the microphone, "My opponent is very young, and his cooking skills are also very good!" But what I want to say is that I will try to show what I am capable of. I attach great importance to this cooking competition, not because I can win the championship in the end, but because I can meet a lot of friends who love cooking in the cooking competition. This time, even if I fail, I won't be discouraged, but I still hope that my friends can support me! Thank you! ”
Wei Feizhou's canvassing had an immediate effect, and the third and fourth votes of the jury were all voted for Cheng Feizhou, making the two people at the same starting line again.
Summer said to the river again, "The two sides are back on the same starting line, do our No. 8 runners also have something to say to the jury?" ”
Summer wanted Jiangbian to canvass for votes as well, but Jiangbian shook his head and rejected Summer's kindness.
Summer was a little puzzled, thinking that Ebebe was a little reserved, but he didn't persuade again, "It seems that our No. 8 player is full of confidence." Well, let's move on to the next round of voting. ”
I don't know if it's because of Jiangbian's refusal to canvass for votes, which made some members of the jury think that it was too arrogant or other reasons, in short, 4 judges voted the stars in front of Cheng Feizhou. Player No. 23 came from behind and quickly overtook the score and took a four-star lead. But the No. 8 player still has no intention of canvassing. Let's continue to see how the later judges choose. Manqing said.
A girl who was a little fat walked out, she strode in front of Jiangbian, hugged Jiangbian, and said loudly, "I support you!" The fish head soup you made is the most delicious fish I've ever tasted, and you should keep going and win the cooking competition! ”
Jiangbian was stunned this time, and he didn't know how to react for a long time, and after the fat girl walked away, Jiangbian relieved himself, and secretly said in his heart, "The people in the city are really fierce!" ”
It seems that it is the popularity that this fat girl brings to Eibe, perhaps because of sympathy for the weak, Egami won 5 votes in a row, not only recovering the score, but taking the lead again with a slight advantage of one point.
This trend did not change direction because of the riverside's lead, and the members of the jury in the back continued to cast the stars into the starry bucket by the riverside one by one, and only a few stars were thrown into the starry bucket of the flying boat.
The two hosts stood up at a critical time, because at this time it was already the last moment, and as long as Jiangbian got one more star, he could overscore, so that there was no suspense in the subsequent voting.
"There are still five votes left, and the No. 8 player has a lead of four votes, and if the next vote continues to be cast for the No. 8 player, it will mean that the No. 8 player has won this PK match. Let's see if the No. 23 contestant, Master Wei, has anything to say to the judges who still have stars in their hands. "Summer once again gave Cheng Feizhou a chance to canvass for votes.
The front of the river gave up canvassing, and Cheng Feizhou was naturally embarrassed to canvass again this time, so Cheng Feizhou hesitated for a while, but shook his head firmly.
"Since everyone is not going to canvass for votes, this judge has to think about it and think that your star directly determines the final result of this cooking competition. Tell everyone, what are your options? Summer pointed the microphone at the soon-to-be-appeared Volkswagen judge, who was a college student.
He didn't speak, but walked straight forward with the star, walked to the river and stopped, "My answer is that Chef Jiang deserves to be the winner of this cooking competition!" ”
After speaking, he put the star in his hand into the star in front of the river.
The choice of the next four judges was irrelevant, so the last four judges went out together, but they still voted for the last four stars for Jiangbian.
The judge who cast the crucial vote was about to step down, but Man Qing stopped him, "Can you tell me why you chose to vote for the No. 8 player just now?" ”
"It's nothing! We as judges should be fair and consistent, both contestants are very outstanding, but in terms of flavor, No. 8 has a very obvious advantage, and it can be said that his dish is unprecedented among the dishes I have ever tasted. To be honest, No. 23 was really good, but unfortunately he met No. 8. This is also the fact that some of the public judges voted for No. 23, just to show their recognition of him. That 'Hundred Birds and Phoenix' is really very good. But compared to the 'fish head bisque', that sense of surprise is missing! ”
The public judge made no secret of his admiration for the riverside, and at the same time expressed his regret for Wei Feizhou.
"That's it! The No. 8 player won the contest in the end. Man Qing was about to announce the start of another PK, but an audience member in the audience shouted loudly.
"It's not fair!" An elderly man stood up, the same man who questioned the riverside cooking skills at the beginning.
All the people were a little confused, and it was strange that the man could be so indignant.
"Sir, do you have any questions?" Manqing asked.
"I don't think it's a fair competition, we can see very clearly that No. 23 is obviously better at cooking, while No. 8 is mediocre, so why did No. 8 win the competition in the end? I said, are you judges too biased? At the level of the 8th, it is already very surprising to be able to enter the final, and even be able to qualify first in the group, and then immediately enter the round of 16, I think this blind is a joke! The old man said.
Man Chengde also walked over and said, "Old comrade, I see that you have indeed misunderstood, although our cooking competition also pays attention to the performance of the contestants' cooking skills, the most important thing is to look at the performance of the dishes made by the contestants in terms of color, flavor and quality. Although the performance of the No. 8 contestant is not eye-catching, the taste of the dishes he makes is truly incomparable. All members of the jury agreed on this. ”
"I don't believe it, that's what you say, control the whole game, control the game!" The elderly man said.
Man Chengde was not in a hurry, and said, "Then tell me, how can you be convinced?" ”
"I want to taste the food too!" The elderly man said.
The audience asked to go on stage to taste the food, which was obviously not expected by the judging team, but after a short discussion, Manchengde agreed to the audience's request.
"One point to be noted is that our review panel and the public review experts are in line with the principle of openness and fairness to carry out the review work, we all come together because of interest, and there is no treatment when this review expert is because I like this." Man Chengde's face was a little gloomy, paused, and then said, "Since the audience has a misunderstanding, then we will increase the intensity of publicity, and the audience can participate, but for the smooth progress of the game, the number of spectators participating in each time should not be too large." ”
Fortunately, the temperature is relatively high, and those dishes have not cooled down, although the flavor has lost a lot, but it basically remains the same.
Of course, the controversial thing is the 'fish head soup' by the river
and the 'Hundred Birds and Phoenix' of the flying boat. Once again, the staff brought out the two dishes and provided the elderly man with two pairs of chopsticks.
The old man was not modest, picked up his chopsticks, and put a small piece of fish in the plate of 'fish head soup', and chewed it carefully in his mouth. Although the fish and head soup are a little cold, the taste is still mellow. The old man tasted the 'fish head soup', but did not taste the 'hundred birds and phoenix', and the color had changed greatly.
The chopsticks in his hand were weakly put on the table, but he didn't try to taste the 'hundred birds and phoenixes' again
"Old gentleman, do you want to taste the 'Hundred Birds and Phoenix'?" Manchengde asked.
The old man blushed and shook his head ashamedly, "I'm really sorry, it seems that I really misunderstood!" ”
"It's okay, you've done us a great favor. Because all the audience friends can only see the cooking process and see the appearance of the dish, and do not know anything about the most important elements such as aroma, taste, and quality, it is easy to have a misunderstanding like the one just now. Through your participation, the transparency of the contest can be enhanced. Elevate the authority of the contest! Manchengde affirmed the old man's approach.
The old man walked up to the river, blushed and said, "I'm so sorry! I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. If you have the chance, you must go to your fish restaurant to try it! ”
Jiangbian smiled, "Okay, welcome at any time!" ”
In the subsequent duel between Wu Jianhua and Fang Junyi, it was Wu Jianhua who won by a narrow margin of one vote.
