The schedule on the last day of the Expo is very tight, and many important transactions will reach the final intention or even sign on-site on the last day. For the general public, the last day is also the day with the greatest discount from many travel companies and travel agencies.

Throughout the morning, the Expo was crowded with people.

In contrast, the food halls in the early morning are much more deserted, and most of the booths have not yet officially opened, except for a few who come early.

Lin Qiao, with the advantage of being the host of a food show, successfully grabbed the task of recording a cooking showdown, and early in the morning she took the cameraman, recording engineer, lighting engineer and other staff to the food hall to set up the camera.

When Lin Qiao arrived, the workers of the venue had already set up a prototype of the cooking duel under the command of the staff of the organizing committee.

They used black tempered glass and stainless steel to build a square ring about 10 centimeters high and about 30 to 40 square meters in the open space at the entrance of the food hall.

Three sets of tables and chairs were placed in the middle of the side of the ring facing the gate as referees. There are two food preparation tables on the left and right sides of the referee's seat.

Lin Qiaozheng was discussing the details of the shooting with the cameraman, and Ma Hao came to the food hall accompanied by Manager Chu of Shuxiang Building. Behind them was a guy pushing a flatbed cart with a cauldron and a jar.

Ma Hao saw that Lin Qiao was also there, and had the heart to go over to say hello, but when he thought of her video of praising Qingfeng Rice, he felt a little awkward, snorted, and decided to ignore her.

Ma Hao commanded the people of Shuxianglou to carry their own kitchen utensils to the ring and place them on the right side of the preparation table, and by the way, he also carefully placed the cauldron on the stove.

This kung fu, Fang Yu also took Lin Xiaoxiao, Qian Duoduo and Qi Yi to the food hall together.

Today's cooking showdown Lin Xiaoxiao insisted on going to the scene to cheer for Fang Yu, and Qian Duoduo and Qi Yi also showed expectant eyes, but they were embarrassed to speak.

Fang Yu thought about it, simply explained the reason in the mobile phone application of "One Side", announced the closure for one day, and then directly took the three of them to the food hall together.

Li Shuhan was also clamoring to come when she got the news of the cooking duel yesterday, but there was a case early this morning, and she couldn't pull away, so she had to beg Lin Xiaoxiao to remember to send herself a live explanation of the duel through her mobile phone.

Fang Yu's kitchen utensils for making Qingfeng rice are relatively simple, in addition to the necessary knives and stoves, they are induction cookers and rice steamers for cooking. The most troublesome thing is the big refrigerated cabinet with all the ingredients.

Qian Duoduo originally wanted to ask Qi Yi to cooperate with him and move the refrigerator to the ring, but the two of them did not have enough strength and could only move a few steps slightly.

Fang Yu set up the kitchen utensils on the food preparation table, and turned his head to see the two of them struggling. He shook his head and smiled, walked over with a little force with both hands, and easily lifted the large refrigerator cabinet and placed it behind his own food preparation table.

Fang Yu's strange power surprised Qi Yi, Lin Qiao and others, and the corners of Ma Hao's eyes jumped straight when he saw it, Lin Xiaoxiao and Qian Duoduo behaved very calmly.

Lin Xiaoxiao is used to Fang Yu's excellent physical fitness, so it's no wonder. And what Qian Duoduo thinks is, what is it to move a refrigerator, my brother is a peerless master hidden in the city, and it is not strange to look back and find a phone booth to transform.

As it approached noon, the crowd at the exhibition began to flock to the food hall, which was filled with visitors from all over the world.

The organizing committee of the Expo had long expected that today's cooking showdown would attract a large number of people, and they made arrangements in advance to avoid accidents caused by crowding.

First of all, the organizing committee set up an access control at the entrance of the food hall and arranged two groups of staff. During the period of 11:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., ordinary tourists are not allowed to enter casually.

Secondly, near the large LED screens in the venues of the Expo, the organizing committee has set up special viewing points. Regular visitors can go to those viewing spots to pick up raffle tickets and watch the cooking showdown.

During the showdown, visitors can also order food through the staff at the viewing point, where the food will be delivered to the corresponding viewing point by using a fixed-line battery car.

Those who can go directly to the food hall to watch the cooking duel are mainly invited guests, as well as those lucky ones who are drawn.

These people are not only spectators of the culinary duel, but also participate in the judging of the duel.

That's right, the rules of this cooking showdown are very different from the usual cooking showdown.

In a general culinary duel, several members of a respected culinary association or gourmet's association are invited to serve as judges, and after the chef signs the agreement, he will make one or several dishes according to the agreement and ask the referee to score and judge.

In this cooking showdown, on the one hand, the organizing committee was out of consideration to increase interactivity and fun, and on the other hand, there were also multiple games behind it, and finally with the approval of the Culinary Association, the rules of the duel were changed.

Forty-two important guests will be invited from the exhibitors, plus five leaders and three judges attending the event, exactly 50 people. Fifty lucky winners will then be drawn from the visitors at each viewing point to form a 100-member jury.

Fang Yu and Ma Hao will make Qingfeng rice and cold pot fish for these 100 people, and after 100 people have tasted the food of the two, they will vote for the two according to their respective satisfaction, and the one with the highest score will win.

In this culinary showdown, the three referees only appear as notaries and supervisors, and although they are also invited guests, they only have one vote in their hands.

To a large extent, the rules of such a special duel were agreed upon by Ma Hao and Du Feibai after they met.

Although Du Feibai has a bad impression of Ma Hao because of Du Changfeng, as a successful businessman, Du Feibai will not affect his decision because of his personal thoughts.

In recent years, the tourism industry in Shudu has developed rapidly, and the influx of a large number of tourists has greatly increased the demand for the catering industry, and the homogenization of Shudu snacks has become more and more serious. Since the beginning of this year, Shuxianglou, which specializes in Shudu snacks, has encountered a great bottleneck in development.

The profitability of the Shuxianglou chain store has not been high in the group, but as the signboard of Du Feibai's beginning, Shuxianglou is the façade of Shuxianghui. Du Feibai must not let Shuxianglou fall into decline and gradually decline.

In cooperation with Tangjia cuisine, the introduction of Xiaohebang cuisine is Du Feibai's countermeasure for the revitalization of Shuxianglou, and this invitation to Ma Hao to come to Shudu is just a small test before full cooperation.

Since this culinary duel between Fang Yu and Ma Hao has affected the operation of Shuxianglou, Du Feibai has only one choice, that is, to help Ma Hao win this duel and turn the cold pot fish into a magic weapon for Shuxianglou to create brilliance again.

Since the Organizing Committee of the Expo, Jincheng Group, Huangmen, Cuisine Association and other forces are paying attention to this culinary showdown, Du Feibai is not easy to do directly. However, this did not prevent him from influencing the rules of the duel and secretly creating conditions for Ma Hao to win.

Needless to say, there are 100 judges in this showdown, and many of them have become fans of Mahao cold pot fish on the first day.

Du Feibai was not worried about the leaders who attended the event, the officials were all political animals, and it was not difficult to predict what choice to make between the largest restaurant in Shudu and a small noodle restaurant owner.

In this way, Mahao can get at least nearly half of the votes. As for the other fifty lucky tourists, Du Feibai was not worried.

For Fang Yu's Qingfeng rice, he has already thought of countermeasures, and there are other special arrangements.

Du Feibai has already made up his mind, this cooking duel Ma Hao not only wants to win, but also to win beautifully.

As for Fang Yu, no matter how much he had a good impression of him before, no matter whether he was really the person that Huangmen fancied, as long as he was in the way, Du Feibai would not hesitate to crush him.
