Chapter 337: Weird, weird
The quarterfinals are different from previous competitions in that they are played up to two times a day, divided into 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. The quarterfinals were held in the largest banquet hall of the Donghuang Hotel. It is said that this banquet hall even hosted visiting foreign guests a few years ago.
To briefly introduce the teams that have reached the top eight of the competition, they are from the Red Star Hotel in Beijing. The hotel's chefs are generally evenly balanced, and they have narrowly come out of the repechage tournament in second place, well, and are considered the weakest in the quarterfinals.......
Lavande Hotel is a time-honored restaurant in Yunnan, it is said that it was opened during the Republic of China, and the people who are serious live longer than others, the first few rounds of the competition are firmly in the first and second places in the group, and there are two people in the team who have served as the chef of the state banquet, which is one of the favorites to win the championship.
The Grand Innis is from the magic city of Shanghai, and in fact, this hotel is the real favorite to win the competition.
Not to mention their senior assistants who can go to other hotels to be chefs, their chef Zheng Hongda alone has won the overall championship of the cooking competition for three consecutive years, and you must know that the cooking competition has only been held for five times...... Except for Master Zheng, the triple crown winner of the first competition, he won almost all the other competitions without exception.
Not only did Junyi Hotel have such an outstanding performance in the team competition, but in the individual competition, Chef Zheng Hongda also won the overall championship of the individual competition twice, and he is currently the honorary vice president of the National Restaurant Association, and he is one of the hottest chefs in the current Celestial Empire.
As for the only time when Lavande Hotel won the second place, it was because it met the Junyi Hotel in the first round of the competition, which unfortunately became the second. It can be seen that Junyi's strength is strong.
Not to mention the Tianlong Hotel, from the chef to the assistant, there is no reliable one, and it is completely dependent on dirty money and shit luck to get to where it is today.
Flying Dragon Hotel? Well, it's okay, with the excellent performance of the game, the strength of the hotel second team has been recognized by most people. After all, the masters of the hotel didn't blow it out, you must know that the Taoist master really made a lot of money in order to dig them up! Not to mention anything else, Lavande Hotel was the overall champion of the first Culinary Competition, and the five chefs who won the championship with Lavande Hotel that year, three of them are currently waiting for Feilong, all of them are hot candidates to win the championship.
As for Chairman Wang's Changfu Hotel, what do you say....... Basically, except for the Red Star Hotel, the strength is the worst, and it has a lot to do with luck to get to the present.
Take a closer look at the opponents of Chang Fu Hotel from the first game to the present, you will know that the strength of the opponents encountered by Chang Fu Hotel is generally relatively average, it can be said that before the quarterfinals, Chang Fu Hotel has not encountered any overwhelming advantage of the hotel, and the smooth wind has reached the top eight, which can not be described as bad luck.
And some hotels are stronger than him, such as one of the top four in the last cooking competition, also from Beijing's time-honored restaurant Hongfu Hotel.
The hotel chef of Hongfu Hotel is extremely strong, and there are even three state banquet chefs, but their luck is also back to their grandmother's house, and in the first round of the qualifiers, they met Lifeng and Junyi, the champion of the popular hotels, and were immediately eliminated.
As for the Shanghai Port Hotel, which has not been known before....... To be honest, almost everyone is now looking forward to a shocking showdown between Lu Ziming of Shanghai Port Hotel and Zheng Hongda of Junyi Hotel!
At present, there are many favorites to win the team competition, but in the individual competition, almost everyone thinks that the overall champion of the individual competition will inevitably be produced between Chef Zheng Hongda and Lu Ziming, the god of good and evil cooking.
To be honest, everything that has happened since the Shanghai Port Hotel participated in the competition is completely a copy of the enthusiasm of the Japanese manga. The hotel's kitchen god strength is the first in the world, but because it is too arrogant, it was eliminated in the first round because of the ridiculous reason of going off-topic.
When Ziming first won the first place in the group in the individual competition, and then in the repechage match of the team competition, Ziming defeated all the previously eliminated hotels with a full score of 12 dishes, and became the most eye-catching dark horse in the competition.
As for the Red Star Hotel, which has already qualified for the second place in the repechage, the difference between the score and Ziming is even more terrifying, reaching more than 15 points!
And after the judges of the resurrection competition tasted the twelve exquisite dishes that Ziming made in only two hours, and the taste was even more unprecedented, the judges even said that the characters that could only come out in thousands of years were actually met by them, which was really a blessing for three lives.
At present, almost everyone believes that the champion and runner-up of this cooking competition will inevitably be produced between Shanghai Port Hotel and Junyi Hotel, of course, the champion of the team competition should be Junyi Hotel, after all, although Lu Ziming of Shanghai Port is a little outrageous, but his assistants are a little unable to get on stage, and they all look like they are dragging their feet, which is slightly better than Tianlong's.
As for the last Donghuang Hotel, the host of the hotel, in all fairness, the strength is very good, in the current eight teams can be ranked about three or four, but it is only three or four, compared with Junyi and Shanghai Port, there is still a gap between the Lavande Hotel and the Feilong Hotel. However, they are the hosts, and the competition effect of this competition alone has already reached Dongfang Qing's expectations, so Dongfang Qing himself does not care too much about the final results of his hotel.
The list of these eight teams is: Group A Junyi Hotel vs. Donghuang Hotel
Group B Flying Dragon Hotel against Red Star Hotel
Group C Lavande Hotel vs. Shanghai Port Hotel
Group D Tianlong Hotel against Changfu Hotel
I have to say that these four groups of teams, except for groups B and D, are basically fairy fights.
————————
At this moment, Huang Xiaobei was also sitting in the VIP lounge, staring at the names of Junyi Hotel and Donghuang Hotel. That's right, after having some bad money in his pocket, the commissioner couldn't control it and ran to gamble again. The main thing he thinks is this, you see, the previous game was two out of four, so it must be easy to miss the choice, but isn't it easy to buy one of the two?
But when Huang Xiaobei arrived in the VIP hall and watched the two sides of this morning's match, the commissioner comrade nodded tragically and said, "Yes, it's harder to buy one of the two than two of the four........"
Come, how can you use your brain to analyze and analyze, the correspondent sat at the bar, pulled his fingers, and kept muttering in his heart.
First of all, this Junyi, that is not to say, the favorite to win the championship, there is a triple crown in it, but the Donghuang Hotel is the host, this is a big home advantage, the bonus points are obviously higher than Junyi, but this Junyi is not so bad, on the contrary, it is ........ Not to mention that this home advantage doesn't seem to be of much use, but ....... my mother, who is this buying...... The commissioner clutched his head in annoyance.
Just when Huang Xiaobei was really not sure who to buy, a small tune of Jingdong drum suddenly came into his ears, Huang Xiaobei turned his head to look, and saw the old man Lin who had pointed him out, who was smoking the cigar in his hand at this time, humming a little song in his mouth.
Seeing this, Huang Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, then smiled, cheekily pushed the old man Lin, and asked, "Old man, who did you buy?" I'm messing with you today. ”
Old Man Lin smoked the cigar in his hand, looked at the odds on the big screen, and said lightly, "Buy whoever you want, the odds are about the same anyway, and you can see the advantages and disadvantages of these two hotels, so make do with it." ”
Huang Xiaobei made a bitter face and said, "But who should I buy?" Nor can it be ....... Eh, who did you buy, old man? ”
"Me? I didn't buy it, so I kept it for the night to press the dragon. Old Man Lin drank the whiskey in his hand and said.
Huang Xiaobei sighed, "You're optimistic about the flying dragon, right?" Well, if it's me, I'll buy them too, and Dao Ye is still relatively stable after all. After speaking, Huang Xiaobei asked happily again, "By the way, old man, has your hotel been eliminated?" I forgot to ask you where you have been? ”
Hearing this, Old Man Lin paused for a moment, then turned his head, and the old man looked at Huang Xiaobei with a sigh and said, "I've reached the top eight, and that Lavande Hotel is mine." ”
"Huh? That Livang....... Hehe, you, you shouldn't be as knowledgeable as the boss of the Shanhai Hotel, right? Huang Xiaobei twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, indicating that he really wanted to give himself a big mouth.
The old man only glanced at him, then waved his hand and told him to go up and play on his own.
Huang Xiaobei scratched his head and smiled, and after saying a few auspicious words to Old Man Lin, he hurriedly slipped aside, for fear that the old man would hate him.
Holding a cup of Coke, Huang Xiaobei walked to Weslin, who was still playing cards, and saw that Lao Wei didn't hold Miss Bunny Girl in his arms today, Huang Xiaobei was a little surprised, "Yo, Lao Wei, haven't you found a flower girl to have a hand addiction today?" How's it going, how much did you win today? ”
The old guard threw the cards to the table with a bitter face, and said, "Don't follow." Then he looked at Huang Xiaobei with an unhappy look on his face, and said, "I won a lot today, and if I lose a little more, I guess I will have to ask you for money." ”
Huang Xiaobei patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Gambling is like this, there are losses and wins, just look away, then you see that people are bald, and they lost seventy or eighty thousand yuan an hour ago, and now they are all back, good guy, it has doubled." ”
The old guard waved his hand irritably, and continued to ask the dealer for cards and continue to gamble.
Huang Xiaobei sat at the gambling table, sipping a straw and drinking Coke, while chatting with Wesling, "Oh yes, old Wei, do you remember what I told you yesterday?" Don't say it, I really didn't expect the eldest lady to be such a backbone person before, and she would rather starve to death than ask for the Taoist's money. Eh, where are you sorry for the eldest lady? I won't be angry if I can kneel down for my daughter. ”
Lao Wei grinded the cards in his hand, nervously glanced at the hole cards, and saw that the hole cards were an old K, Wesling happily put down the cards and said, "People's wealthy grievances, what are you asking about?" In addition, I advise you not to go out and talk nonsense, the province was pulled out by the sixth master to feed the fish, and we have to go down to the sea to catch you when we are done. ”
Huang Xiaobei pouted on the straw and frowned, "I'm not talking about this, I mean, the eldest lady in their mouths, I always don't feel like the eldest lady, you look so cold, so ruthless, so unwilling to eat the food that comes to you, how do you look like your eldest lady?" ”
Lao Wei looked at him with a strange expression, "What's not like it?" Xiaobei, the eldest lady is just a very cute little devil girl in your eyes, but in our eyes, she is the kind of Dao Ye's mouth, at most, she spends money generously. ”
"In addition, Xiaobei, you'd better not come and discuss with us about the eldest lady, because the eldest lady is to us and to you...... Hehe, that's really not much to say. With that, the old guard rushed to the table and threw a 500 chip on the table.
"Come, follow, hurry up and open the cards, I will definitely win this hand!"
Looking at Lao Wei's appearance of a bad gambler, Huang Xiaobei frowned, still feeling that something was wrong in his heart, and he still felt that the eldest lady in front of him still didn't look like the eldest lady in the mouth of the Taoist master.
If you want to ask why, it's probably intuition, anyway, even if the eldest lady doesn't like to deal with Daoye, why does she always feel that she is not only a little cold, but even a little disgusted with men?
Not to mention anything else, Carl is so handsome, he smiles so good, he hasn't seen the eldest lady look at him a few times, oops, weird, it's really weird.
