The food competition is divided into three stages, the first stage is the primary selection, which adopts the method of public voting and judges' scoring, the top four scores enter the semi-finals, and then they are divided into two groups, the winners of these two groups enter the finals, and the losers can only compete for the third place.

Ten o'clock is coming soon, and the first round of primaries will start soon, Mu Chen glanced at it, but he didn't see Yang Wei, because this hall was too big, and it was understandable that Mu Chen didn't see Yang Wei.

Mu Chen was not in a hurry, after all, it was only the primary selection now, he believed that when it came to the finals, Yang Wei would naturally come out, after all, Qin Can had already said that the top three places every year were almost exclusively occupied by Yang Wei, and only one year was he in a good mood and gave up the third place position to a businessman who kept patting him on the back.

As soon as the time came, the host immediately announced the start of the game on the stage, and at this time, Ma Jun also arrived at the scene with the chef, Mu Chen was arranged in a very inconspicuous corner, so no one took him seriously, and the preparation time for the preliminary competition was relatively long, Mu Chen was not in a hurry at all.

After explaining to the chef, Mu Chen and Ma Jun stood aside and chatted, as soon as they did this, the people around them who came to participate in the competition suddenly laughed in their hearts, originally everyone came to participate in the competition with the mentality of playing soy sauce, but the result was even worse than them, in the eyes of these people, Mu Chen seemed to participate in the competition with the mentality of losing, otherwise how could he be in this state during the preliminary round?

And the chef estimated that Ma Jun had already explained everything to him when he was on the road, so he didn't talk much, he had been working hard, Mu Chen stood aside and watched for a while, the chef of this big hotel is different, whether it is knife work or techniques, he is very proficient in everything, and stewing an orchard chicken is not a problem for him.

Two hours later, the preliminary competition finally ended, and together with more than 20 participating merchants, Mu Chen handed over his stewed orchard chicken to the staff.

Twenty minutes later, the results of the judging were in.

Mu Chen hugged his hands in front of Hun and listened to the host read the list of promoted merchants there with some pride.

However, when the host read out the names of these four merchants, Mu Chen's eyes instantly widened - because Mu Chen did not advance!

Ma Jun on the side also exclaimed: "No, Brother Chen, is the host mispronounced?" You wait here, I'll ask right away!"

After Ma Jun finished speaking, he immediately ran to the host.

Soon, Ma Jun came back with the results, and Mu Chen already understood without Ma Jun opening his mouth.

Ma Jun said: "I confirmed with the host twice, and then with the backstage staff, and they said that the result was like this, our stewed orchard chicken did not advance." ”

"How is this possible?!"

Mu Chen couldn't bear it a little, you must know that when he was in Baixiang Village, no one said that this stewed orchard chicken was not delicious, even if those workers would say that the orchard chicken was delicious because he was the boss, but Mu Chen himself had tasted the taste of this orchard chicken, it was absolutely no problem, could it be that Yang Wei had already come to the scene, and then saw Mu Chen's deliberately chosen store name, so he was eliminated directly?

Mu Chen couldn't help but nod when he thought of this, a person like Yang Wei who is sure to repay his eyes is very likely to do this kind of thing, but if that's the case, it would be too boring, Mu Chen instantly regretted it, he knew that he would take a less conspicuous name to enter the finals first, and then say, it's good now, he hasn't even passed the preliminary round, how can he have the face to see Qin Can?

However, when Mu Chen was depressed, Ma Jun on the side suddenly patted him: "Brother Chen, Brother Chen! Listen, the host is reading our names!"

Mu Chen immediately listened attentively, and sure enough, the host was reading the name of the store that Mu Chen deliberately took at the moment, and the result was that Mu Chen was also promoted!

After the host read Mu Chen's promotion, he continued: "According to our latest competition rules, we have added a new item of public voting, so just now this contestant directly entered the final with the highest vote of the public vote, that is to say, our final will be three restaurants to compete in a while! Of course, the two restaurants in the semi-finals still have to compete for the third place, which means that we will have two tied for third place this year!"

Mu Chen laughed instantly when he heard this, and he said: "This boss is willful, you can change the rules temporarily, isn't this a joke?

However, Mu Chen thought about it and instantly understood, and he said to Ma Jun: "Do you know why I suddenly advanced again?"

Ma Jun shook his head and said that he didn't know, and Mu Chen explained: "I guess this Yang Wei must have seen the name of the store I chose for him, so he knew that I was coming to the competition, so he specially modified the rules to let me enter the finals directly, I guess he had the same idea as me, and wanted to humiliate me in the finals, but who am I? How could I be humiliated by him?!"

"Of course," Ma Jun echoed, "I think this Yang Wei probably never knew what it meant to be high and thick, if you teach him today, he will have a long memory in the future!"

Mu Chen laughed out loud when he heard this, since he had directly advanced to the finals, there was no need to bother preparing for the second round, the three of them only had to rest on the sidelines now, and when the second round was over, he would be able to show his strength!

Because most of the participating businesses were directly eliminated in the preliminary round, the second round of the competition seemed a little deserted, but fortunately, Mu Chen looked around, this hall was full of people inside and out, it seems that the number of people in the final will only be more and not less in a while, this is exactly the result he wants to see, if there are no onlookers, what is the point of him humiliating Yang Wei?

There is no suspense about the results of the second round of the competition, the two finalists are still Yang Wei's own restaurants, for this result, all the participating businesses are recognized, in other words, they don't recognize the line? If anyone dares not to approve, Yang Wei will increase his rent in the second year, so the form of this food competition is greater than the reality, everyone is lively and lively together, to put it bluntly, this is Yang Wei's own show, he can play how he wants, and no one even has objections to changing the rules temporarily.

Under the leadership of the staff, Mu Chen was taken to the finals, and the finals were a little different from the place of the preliminary competition just now, because the finals were in the center of the entire hall, and all the spotlights were directed here, making Mu Chen instantly the focus of the audience.

Of course, there were two other finalists who also attracted the attention of the audience.

The host quickly announced the start of the competition, Mu Chen glanced at each other, and found that these two were also professional-level chefs, but Mu Chen was a layman, and he couldn't see any doorway, in short, in his eyes, the three chefs in the finals were all powerful, and next to the chef, there were also the owners of these two restaurants, but Mu Chen knew that these two so-called bosses were just Yang Wei's subordinates, the real boss, I don't know where he was hiding at the moment to watch him.

However, Mu Chen didn't mind, for people like Yang Wei, Mu Chen believed that he would appear soon, after all, Yang Wei was also completely sure of winning the final, so on this occasion, how could he not seize the opportunity to humiliate Mu Chen?

Mu Chen sat behind the chef and stilted Erlang's legs, seeing the two chefs on the opposite side flying up and down, busy and happy, Mu Chen felt very funny, and at the same time there was a trace of pity in his heart, although they are working so hard to prepare all kinds of ingredients now, but in the end they will all become Mu Chen's subordinates defeated, so in Mu Chen's opinion, it is better to admit defeat directly than this.
