Chapter 177: Preliminary Round: Su Miao VS Wan Guoan

Before the hour, the bright morning light had already become dazzling, and Su Miao had just led her assistant to the stage from the stairs on one side, when there was a commotion in the crowd, and many eyes shot over, as if they could see the hole. There have been several consecutive editions of the King of Chef Championship without a woman participating, and the onlookers here are like seeing a woman leading the stage as if they have seen a strange alien creature on the street, surprised, contemptuous, confused, and a little faintly excited, that is, the excitement of anticipating that something unknown will happen.

Su Miao's expression was very calm, and the aftertaste, Zhao He, and Chen Sheng who were behind her were also very calm, and they looked calm as if no one was around. Reminiscing that today at Su Miao's request, he is still wearing a half-new cotton linen placket with narrow sleeves, because there is a woman living in the same courtyard, and there are many big girls and little daughters-in-law who come to watch the game today, so he must keep a low profile, Su Miao said. But despite this, when the face like a pearl and jade appeared in the bright sunshine, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law who could see clearly from close to the audience couldn't help but gasp, and held her breath for a moment, and the scene seemed to be much brighter all of a sudden, as if there was suddenly a round of sun in the sky, and the sun was a fiery heart.

Su Miao looked at the girls in the front row with crimson faces and rippling expressions, grabbing the railing and about to move, staring at the aftertaste like wolves, and almost waving a small flag and shouting loudly, she dared to guarantee that if the aftertaste raised the sign of "begging **" at this moment, the people who were used for him to eat soft rice would definitely be able to go to the next life, sure enough, it doesn't matter whether they are rich or poor, as long as they have a good face, the gods and horses are all floating clouds.

The moment he took the stage, he already began to decide the winner. Who doesn't like handsome men, not only young girls, but even aunts and aunts who come to see the excitement have their eyes lit up. I can't get enough of staring at that handsome offspring. And although Su Miao is not as beautiful as the aftertaste, she is also a little beauty, no matter how good her cooking skills are, as long as the young and beautiful girl is on the stage, she is pleasing to the eye. Wan Guoan, who disdained to come to power with Su Miao, felt that he had turned weak, and his face turned blue with anger, and the eldest apprentice Ma Kang cautiously called "Master", and Wan Guoan snorted heavily. The sleeves of the robe flicked onto the stage. He wore an ochre-colored five-blessing satin crewneck shirt today, and wore a jade wrench on the thumb of his right hand, which was majestic. You can't stand on a high platform. It's a pity that no one looks at him no matter how majestic he is, one is a dry old man over half a hundred years old, and the other is a young man and woman with a beautiful moon, before his appetite is stimulated by food. Everyone will definitely choose to feast their eyes first.

Wan Guoan, who sits firmly in the first place of private cuisine in the western part of Qin'an Province, competes with a little girl on the same stage. Now he didn't get the respect he deserved, and his face became more and more ugly, so no one looked at him anymore.

Su Miao ignored Wan Guoan, she first took a look at the two adjacent stages, her stage was in the middle, the left and right platforms were at least three meters away from her, the left stage was the Changsheng who had not seen anyone all day yesterday against Ye Tian, the chef of Jingyang Building in Huizhou, and she didn't recognize the two middle-aged people with fat heads and big ears who looked like cooks on the right stage. So I don't care. The judges' seats under the two stages on the left and right were a little far away, and she didn't look closely. Her eyes fell on the judges' bench in front of her stage, there were men, women, old and young, there was no suspicious figure of Tong Xinrong, but she saw Xia Chang, who was examining her at the beginning.

When Xia Chang saw her look over, he began to brush his beard with an unfathomable face, Su Miao blinked twice, looked away, and saw Lin Yan and Su Chan sitting in the VIP seat, Lin Yan saw her looking over and smiled and beckoned, Su Miao smiled and saw Tong Ran and Tong Zhengsi sitting next to Lin Yan, and then she wanted to understand how Lin Yan and the two of them sat in the VIP seat.

Tong Ran saw her come over, the folding fan in his hand was unfolded, the pink peach blossoms on the fan were very eye-catching, he smiled at her from afar, Su Miao didn't save face for him at all, and directly turned his head. Tong Ran didn't care, but smiled, calmly facing the cold eyes that stabbed straight at the aftertaste, the electric flint, and the crackling seemed to hit out a lot of invisible but smellable sparks.

Lin Yan didn't notice the change beside her, her eyes fell on Zhou Cheng, who had just sat in the VIP seat after her, and pointed at Su Chan.

Su Chan looked over with a tense face, facing the gaze cast by Zhou Cheng, she turned her head away with a cold face, and Zhou Cheng's heart became annoyed again. He now feels that everyone with the surname "Su" is very annoying, even if the Su family raises him to grow up, this still can't erase his resentment of the surname "Su". He can't wait to destroy this surname, the first thing he used to open the knife is the dead girl on the stage, he wants to make her ruined and expelled from the industry and kneel down in front of him crying bitterly, so as to relieve her hatred for wantonly playing with him.

Su Miao didn't know what Zhou Cheng was thinking at this time, even if she knew, she didn't care, and with a red silk written on the city wall used as a background, the etiquette officer announced the rules of the preliminary round, and the game officially began.

On both sides of the stage, two complete sets of kitchenware have been prepared, from the stove to the oven, making it an open-air kitchen.

In the center of the stage is a long table, the long table is covered with a red cloth, under the red cloth a total of 60 kinds of ingredients, the two sides have a quarter of an hour to think, after a quarter of an hour both sides choose the ingredients in turn, with the selected 30 kinds of ingredients in two and a half hours to make five dishes, all the ingredients must be used, otherwise it is considered a loss.

There is only one serving of each ingredient, and these ingredients also include seasonings, such as green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, and there is only one serving of each of them, once they are chosen by the other party, they will be useless, Su Miao's first reaction when she knew such rules yesterday was that the organizer really knows how to play people.

After the game began, the guy standing at the long table lifted the red cloth on it, and the colorful ingredients were displayed in front of everyone.

The spectators in the audience were full of excitement, and they didn't know which one to watch better than the three games together. In fact, the first game is a real knockout match, the knockout game is not as spectacular as the subsequent games, and the attention is not as good as the subsequent games, but it is the most cruel, there will be three groups of contestants after noon today, and the next one will be three years later. In a way, such a contest is no less intense than the imperial examination of thousands of troops and horses crowding a single-plank bridge.

The quarter-hour timer officially began, and the fine sand in the hourglass was flowing down in a hurry, Zhao He and Chen Sheng were both participating in such a competition for the first time, and they were not used to strange rules, and their brains were a little cloudy. The aftertaste is calm, holding a slender brush in one hand and a small book nailed to a bamboo board in the other, staring at the ingredients on the long table.

The ingredients used in the competition are all provided by the restaurant, and these ingredients may not all come from the competition area, even if they are from the same province, because the information is not very developed, people in one place may not recognize the specialties of another place, and even if they do, they may not necessarily cook. Su Miao recognized the sixty kinds of ingredients in front of her, after all, she came from an era of advanced information, even if she hadn't seen the real thing, at least she had seen the pictures, but she didn't know how to do anything, such as fish maw and pork belly.

She saw Wan Guoan pick up a small red lantern-like fruit from a plate and smell it, then put it down, slightly stunned, with a hint of incredulity, and whispered to the aftertaste:

"The red one, the tomatoes?"

"That's cherry tomatoes, it's grafted with a wild fruit called 'lantern fruit' and wolf peach, it's a specialty of Sichuan Fengcheng, I originally wanted to cultivate a sweet and sour fruit with the size of a lantern fruit, but it turned out to be much bigger than the lantern fruit, and the taste is not as good as the wolf peach, which is generally used when cooking, you can taste it."

Su Miao picked up the cherry tomatoes, this fruit is indeed two circles larger than the small tomato, not oval, actually cylindrical, take a bite, the taste is light, the sweet and sour is not obvious, the juice is not rich, it is really not like a fruit, if you want to cook, it is similar to a wild vegetable that has no taste but can be eaten.

She frowned, not very fond of it.

"Have you figured out what to choose?" Looking back at her unhurriedly, she asked in a reminding tone.

Su Miao swept around the table, picked up an orange and smelled it, and whispered a few words to him casually. Aftertaste frowned and whispered to her:

"It's not the best season, but it's not a good time."

"With that kind of rule, you will definitely have to compete for seasonings for a while, the competition time is limited, and you can't do slow work and fine work, so you must choose one that is suitable for both light and light, and it can't be too time-consuming. In addition, the order of the five dishes is very important, and the impression should be deepened little by little, and the impression should be engraved in the minds of the people who eat it, so that they will only remember my dishes. Su Miao tapped her temple with her fingertips, looked at him, and whispered in a voice that could only be heard by two people, her red lips hooked as if she was smiling.

Looking back at her dark and bright apricot eyes flashing with the golden mangs that she was determined to master, her breathing had been slow down involuntarily, and there was a moment of suffocation in her chest, and when she came back to her senses, Su Miao had already gone to explain to Zhao He and Chen Sheng, and after calming down, he followed.

A quarter of an hour later, the ceremonial officer struck a gong to announce that the time had come.

According to the rules of the elders and young, the choice of ingredients should start with the elders first, Wan Guoan was a little proud, looked at Su Miao's face and snorted heavily, and chose the most important salt at the beginning.

Su Miao sneered coldly in her heart, this old man is really narrow-minded and small-bellied!

Wan Guoan chose ginger, pork belly, fish head, tofu, pigeon, taro, cucumber and other food, watching the ingredients on the long table decrease little by little, until the end both sides got thirty kinds of ingredients, the game entered the next link, the contestants can choose the same ingredients from the other party, or they can pick out the same ingredients from the ingredients they get and stuff it to the opponent, of course, they can also abstain from it.

Su Miao was quite satisfied with the ingredients she chose, because even if she lost if she didn't use all the ingredients, she didn't want to add extra burden to herself, so she abstained from both.

When it was Wan Guoan's turn, he also abstained from the first item, but when it came to the second item, the old man was very unkind and forced the basket of cherry tomatoes that he was forced to start into Su Miao's hands!

Su Miao was holding a basket of tasteless cherry tomatoes and wanted to bite him! (To be continued......)
