"As for the other contestants, please go to the rest area and wait for the announcement of the competition." At this time, Happy had to be separated from Li Muxue and others, and the contestants entered the rest area located at the corner of the arena under the leadership of volunteers, while Li Muxue and others were arranged in the audience.

"Please follow me to ...... the masters who reported the names" As soon as the contestants were seated in their respective rest seats, a beautiful female college student volunteer came over with a list and began to announce the contestants in the first group.

Every contestant whose name was called immediately shook his head and came to the front.

After confirming the correct number of female college students, they brought the 100 contestants of the first group to their respective positions, and the volunteers who had been waiting on the side uncovered the table for the contestants in their seats, revealing the ingredients of the first round of the competition - two thick and long white radish!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this first round of the competition is divided into two events, the first project, please use your fastest speed to slice a white radish; The second project is to carve another white radish into the shape you are most satisfied with in the shortest possible time. These two projects focus on 'cutting' and 'carving' in knife work, respectively, and our judges will score each one according to their final completion, with a total time limit of 15 minutes. ”

"Do you have any questions?" After announcing the specific rules of the first round, the host consulted all the contestants as usual, and when no one expressed an opinion, he announced, "The competition is on!" ”

I only heard an order, and a sound suddenly sounded in the arena, "Do-do!" "Click, click!" The dull sound of a knife hitting a cutting board is perfectly intertwined with the crunch of a knife cutting a turnip. Mixed with the unique sweet and spicy aroma of white radish, it permeated the entire arena.

This first round of knife work examination is no different from previous years, and many chefs who aspire to this year's King Chef Competition have already begun to practice knife skills a few years ago, so most of them are full of confidence in this first round of competition.

At this time, on the judges' bench, Wu Xiaosong was bored looking at the participating chefs opposite who were burying their heads in cutting radishes, and then turned his head to look at Qiu Yin and others who were sitting next to the arena and whispering in the audience, and couldn't help but secretly regret it, why did he take on such a boring job? Even if you don't come to watch this game. It's much more fun to run a farm like Luo Fatzi than to waste time here!

Just when Wu Xiaosong was bored, suddenly a quiet conversation came into his ears: "Mr. Yu, I heard that the king of chefs link added by the association this time is the first one you initiated to the king of chefs?" ”

Wu Xiaosong immediately turned his head and saw Wu Weinong, the person in charge of the competition area, talking to a middle-aged man sitting next to him.

The man was slightly bald and had a high head. A pair of slightly inverted eyes with a hint of gloomy gaze, coupled with a pair of standard hooked noses. It gives people a sense of indifference and coldness.

See this person. Wu Xiaosong couldn't help frowning, he knew this person, it was one of the top ten chef kings in the last session, Yu Shoujin, who was known as the king of noodles.

Just as Chu Xuanyi, the king of fast knives, has unmatched skills among the chefs, Yu Shoujin's pasta skills have also amazed all the chefs, so he has won the title of the king of noodles.

But for this person. Wu Xiaosong didn't like it, because this person's reputation in the chef world was not very good, mercenary and unkind, and four years ago there were rumors that he used special means to force several contestants who threatened him to withdraw from the competition without reason. However, it eventually faded away because it could not be confirmed.

In addition, Yu Shoujin's father, Yu Deshui, is one of the top ten chefs in the seventh session, and the reputation of a double chef king makes them famous in China.

I heard that this time, Yu Shoujin still took the initiative to ask the Chef Association to be a judge in the Jinghua Division, saying that he wanted to personally tap a few potential good seedlings. For this, Wu Xiaosong also secretly doubted that with Yu Shoujin's personality, it was absolutely impossible for him to have such a high consciousness.

Just as Wu Xiaosong was pondering the purpose of Yu Shoujin's visit this time, Yu Shoujin's voice came to his ears.

"It is indeed the initiative I first launched to a few chef kings," Yu Shoujin nodded, and the face of the yin owl showed a positive face, "This time, the chef kings of France, Italy, and Japan jointly challenged our Huaxia, and we naturally want to fight back with the strongest lineup, I don't believe that with our thousands of years of culinary heritage in Huaxia, we will not be able to win against those barbarians!" ”

Hearing this, Wu Xiaosong's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, he was another fool who was immersed in the dream of the Heavenly Empire!

Barbarian? Now who dares to say that France and Italy are barbarians? Even Japan, which had been learning all kinds of cultures from China, had already jumped to the second place in the world in terms of economic strength, second only to the United States!

Several other judges present also heard Yu Shoujin's words, and immediately frowned, obviously, they also disagreed with Yu Shoujin's words.

Since France, Italy, and Japan dared to send a letter to invite them to discuss the competition, they must have the certainty of victory, after all, who would be so guilty of crossing the ocean to a foreign land to find abuse?

In the past, Huaxia also had several battles with them, the two sides won and lost each other, and with the passage of time, the distance between the cooking skills of those countries and Huaxia became smaller and smaller, especially in recent years, some countries have applied physics, chemistry and other related scientific knowledge to cooking, so that their cooking skills have developed by leaps and bounds, and it has further shortened the distance with Huaxia.

At this time, Yu Shoujin, who is the king of the kitchen, is still sleeping in the sweet dream of the Heavenly Empire, which has to make people feel a little ridiculous and sad!

However, due to the identity of Shoujin Chef King, and the upcoming competition with the Three Kingdoms Chef King Alliance team, everyone did not say anything to refute it, so as not to end up with a mouthful of eating inside and out.

Wu Weinong naturally understands people, and with a forced laugh, he diverted the topic: "Mr. Yu, how many new chefs do you expect to appear in this Chef Competition?" ”

"The new chef?" When Yu Shoujin heard this, the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, revealing a trace of disdain and ridicule, "If you can have one or two, it's considered to be the top of the sky!" ”

I don't know if the times have changed, or the atmosphere has changed, and the younger generation of chefs is becoming more and more impetuous. Before learning the craft, I rushed to participate in the competition, as if I was the next generation of chefs! Yu Shoujin's eyes glanced around the arena in front of him, and shook his head disdainfully, "I heard that this time, the owner of a small steamed bun shop in our Jinghua Division also came to join in the fun, I really don't know how the review committee of the Ludao Competition audited, and let these cats and dogs all get involved!" ”

Hearing this, Wu Weinong's face next to him suddenly turned red and white, as the person in charge of the competition area, this qualification review work was naturally held under his organization, Yu Shoujin's words clearly showed that he was slapping himself in the face!

Suppress the anger in your heart. Wu Weinong said with a reluctant smile on his face: "According to the requirements of the competition, as long as the contestants have chef qualifications and Chinese nationality, they can participate, and we are also acting in accordance with the regulations." ”

"That's why I said," Yu Shoujin said with his identity as the king of chefs. "Your association should really think about it, and don't just be able to participate in the competition. In case let the foreign devils know. I thought that our Chinese chef industry only had this level, so then this face would be thrown abroad! ”

Hearing this, Wu Weinong's face had turned pale, but he still nodded, and said with a forced smile: "I will reflect your suggestions to the association." ”

Seeing Wu Weinong's reluctant agreement, Yu Shoujin immediately nodded with satisfaction: "Well, I'm sorry." I'm a straight person, and I may be too direct to speak, but I'm also doing this for the good of our Chinese chef world, I hope you can understand. ”

"I understand your ball!" This time. Wu Xiaosong, who had been listening to it for a long time, couldn't help it, and burst into a foul mouth in a low voice, the boss of the small bun shop? Isn't that just fun? Also a cat and a dog, you dog day cook, isn't this clearly insulting happiness?!

He had long been fed up with Yu Shoujin's yin and yang weird voice, Wu Xiaosong finally broke out, but fortunately, he still knew what the situation was now, and the only remaining bit of rationality lowered his big voice, and scolded angrily in a voice that could only be heard near the judges' seat: "You stupid dog, what are you proud of?" Calling you the king of the kitchen, did you really kick your nose in the face? What kind of green onion do you think you are, shitting around here! ”

As soon as Wu Xiaosong's angry scolding came out, some of the judges sitting on the judges' bench showed a hint of a smile, they had long been fed up with this guy who was right, but for various reasons, they all endured it, and now when they heard someone scolding him, although they couldn't express anything on their lips, they had already cheered for Wu Xiaosong in their hearts.

"You...... What are you going to do to talk to me like that?! Yu Shoujin was angry by Wu Xiaosong's words, as a chef for so many years, he had never been scolded like this, his face was gloomy, he pointed at Wu Xiaosong tremblingly, took a deep breath and opened his mouth to scold.

"Calm down! Calm down! Wu Weinong on the side couldn't help but have a hidden smile on the corner of his mouth after hearing Wu Xiaosong's angry scolding, but seeing that Yu Shoujin was about to scold with his mouth open, he immediately grabbed Yu Shoujin's arm, and a fine sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, and he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Yu, you can't scold this person!" ”

Yu Shoujin asked angrily, "What?" What is he? Why should he be allowed to scold me, and not allow me to scold him? ”

"Hey...... He is the young master of the Jinghua martial arts family! The executive director of Shuibo Liangshan, Mr. Wu Xiaosong Wu! Wu Weinong immediately told Yu Shoujin about Wu Xiaosong's background.

It's no wonder that Shoujin is too self-righteous, at the judges' meeting, Wu Weinong introduced the judges present one by one, but this is the king of chefs, who thinks he is the king of chefs, and he doesn't take the other judges in his eyes at all, so when the person in charge makes an introduction, he sneaks outside to go shopping, because he doesn't know the identity of Wu Xiaosong at all!

Now hearing Wu Weinong's introduction, Yu Shoujin suddenly became excited, a cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he glanced at Wu Xiaosong out of the corner of his eye, not daring to say anything more.

In the chef world, he may still be able to stare at the famous fox and fake tiger of the king of chefs, but in the face of these absolute powers, his own chef king is just a dish in the eyes of the other party, steamed? Braised is just a thought of the other party!

No matter how proud Yu Shoujin is, he is still a little self-aware, and he doesn't dare to provoke Wu Xiaosong anymore at the moment.

"Humph!" Seeing Yu Shoujin shut his mouth, Wu Xiaosong snorted coldly and gave up, but a trace of doubt gradually appeared in his heart: This Yu Shoujin has been his chef king in the mountains and west, and he has nothing to do with happiness at all. What kind of wind is pumping today, how can you point the finger at happiness?

But from now on, Wu Xiaosong is very suspicious that the reason why this guy took the initiative to apply as a judge in the Jinghua Division is most likely to be happy: "Your grandma's fierceness!" If I find out what little moves you do, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you! ”

Fifteen minutes later, when the host announced that the time for the competition was up, all the contestants put down their knives in their hands. In accordance with the rules of the competition. If the host announces that the time for the match has come and someone does not stop moving, that person will be immediately disqualified.

Subsequently, the volunteers corresponding to the competition position will move the contestants' carved works to the judges' seats, and the judges will score them one by one, and after the most contestants, the judges will make a professional and pertinent evaluation of all the contestants' works. This is also the most commendable part of the King of Chef Competition, and it is also the most time-consuming part.

An hour later. The first round of the competition is over. After a 10-minute break, the second round began.

This round is a lot more difficult than the previous round, and it takes years of practice to get the same amount of seasoning out of the saucer dish as the judges quoted by the judges with a long-handled spoon. It also takes a little bit of luck and touch.

"There is no total time limit for this round, once the judges say the amount of a certain condiment, the contestants have to scoop the condiment out of the plate within ten seconds, and then our volunteers will put the scooped seasoning into the balance for measurement. One point heavier or one less will be deducted points! After announcing the specific rules of the competition, the host signaled to the judges that they could start.

"Pepper, ten grams!"

"Fine salt, three grams!"

"Flour, forty-five grams!"

"Soy sauce, six grams!"

The 20 judges of the "......" reported the amount of a seasoning one by one, and at the same time, the contestants also moved, and suddenly a hundred long-handled soup spoons danced on the field, and there was a crisp sound of the soup spoon and the seasoning plate colliding.

The round was over when the volunteers took the spoon from the twentieth condiment and put it in the balance to weigh it. In the process, several contestants did not follow the rules of the competition, violating the rules of the competition venue that "once the spoon leaves the plate, it is not allowed to add or remove seasonings", so they were disqualified from the competition on the spot.

Then came the third round, which was a taste match.

During the 10 minutes of the contestants' rest, each contestant had a bowl of soup mixed with various seasonings on their desks.

The ten-minute break passed quickly, and the contestants were ready for the competition.

"This round of the competition is also the last round of the day, and it is a comparison of everyone's taste," the host explained the content of the competition again, "Each contestant will have ten minutes to distinguish the flavoring agent from their own soup and write them on a piece of paper next to it, and our judges will score the correct answers you have written." Of course, for the sake of fairness, everyone's soup ingredients are the same, so the correct answer is definitely the same, and you don't have to worry about someone being able to buy the judges and give them a sentimental score. ”

Speaking of the most embarrassing, the host was also silent, and all the contestants smiled when he heard it, which brought a touch of relief to the tense game.

At the sound of the order, the third round of the competition officially began, and the contestants immediately picked up the soup in front of them, or smelled, or looked, tasted, or picked up the soup spoon next to it, poked into the bottom of the bowl to scoop up some sediment, and then muttered and wrote the answer next to it.

Ten minutes passed, and a stack of paper with the contestants' answers was sent to the judges' bench, who checked the scores.

In order to save time, the judges of this round of the competition adopted the method of group inspection, with two judges as a group, each of the ten contestants to check the answers and give corresponding scores.

Ten minutes later, the answers for the third round also came out. Immediately afterwards, the total score of the participants in the first group will be calculated by the counting group.

This was the end of the competition for the first group of contestants, who exited the arena and returned to the rest area, led by university student volunteers, and the second group of contestants took to the field.

Seeing the second group of contestants on the field, Li Muxue and others, who were already waiting a little bored in the audience area, suddenly perked up, sat up straight, and cast their eyes on the field.

Because, the fun is among the second group of contestants! (To be continued......)
