However, while being happy, Zhou Chucai was a little worried.

Lu Yang won the first place in the preliminary round, if he still maintains such an advantage in the semifinals, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Ma Junhao to make a difference.

Back at the Songhe Hotel, Lu Yang was treated like a hero.

From top to bottom, the hotel staff looked at Lu Yang with reverence.

Tian Ankang appeared at the right time to relieve Lu Yang and brought him to the office.

"Xiao Lu, you won so beautifully!"

Tian Ankang said excitedly: "If you keep it in your current state, it will not be a problem to defeat An Xin." ”

Lu Yang nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that I didn't share the same arena with An Xin, so I couldn't understand her reality in advance." ”

Tian Ankang said tentatively: "What do you think about tomorrow's game?"

"It's not a big deal, but there's someone to pay attention to."

"Who?"

"A chef named Ma Junhao."

Lu Yang said in a deep voice: "Ma Junhao's ranking is only after me, this person should not be underestimated. ”

"Xiao Lu, I called you in, in addition to congratulating you, I also told you about Ma Junhao."

Tian Ankang took out a document and handed it to Lu Yang, saying, "Let's take a look at the things on it first." ”

Lu Yang took the document and glanced at it twice, and said in surprise: "Ma Junhao is a three-star Michelin chef?" ”

"That's right."

Tian Ankang said with a solemn expression: "Ma Junhao has served in a three-star Michelin restaurant for nearly 20 years, and this time he suddenly returned to China and became the chef of a small restaurant, don't you think it's abnormal?" ”

"It's very abnormal."

Lu Yang thought for a while and said: "If you can invite someone like Ma Junhao, unless it is a large company like Chaofan Group, otherwise, even Songhe Restaurant may not be able to invite him." ”

"Herein lies the problem."

Tian Ankang Zhengse said: "If Ma Junhao wants to participate in the King Chef Competition, he can participate as a Michelin chef, there is no need to use the name of that small hotel, I suspect he has other plans." ”

"You mean?"

Lu Yang looked at Tian Ankang hesitantly.

"I suspect that he was hired by Zhou Chucai."

Tian Ankang expressed his guess, suspecting that Zhou Chucai wanted to get a piece of the pie in the King of Chef competition.

Looking at the entire Jiangdong, there are financial resources and abilities to invite Ma Junhao, only Zhou Chucai.

Although Zhou Chu is An Jingtian's subordinate, this person is ambitious and unruly, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhou Chu took refuge in An Jingtian, just to enhance his own strength.

It doesn't have to be dead set on serving others.

Lu Yang suddenly smiled and said, "No matter what means Zhou Chucai has, as long as I defeat Ma Junhao, his various conspiracies will go bankrupt." ”

"I hope so."

Tian Ankang sighed, expecting Lu Yang to be safe in the next game.

For Lu Yang's cooking skills, Tian Ankang is a hundred relieved, the only thing he is worried about is that others are playing tricks behind his back.

Neither Chaofan Group nor Zhou Juncai is a fuel-efficient lamp.

After all, it's easy to dodge with an open gun, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow.

No matter how strong Lu Yang is, there is only one person, and if he can take care of the east, he can't take care of the west.

The next morning, the semi-finals officially began.

The number of players entering the semi-finals is more than half of yesterday's, but there are still hundreds of people left.

The semi-finals require each contestant to make 16 banquet dishes within one hour.

The so-called banquet dish, that is, banquet dish, needs to be composed of four hot dishes, four cold dishes, four cold dishes, three desserts, and one soup. Knock knock

In order to save time, almost all the contestants used the cold sauce method to make cold dishes.

The time is only an hour, and if you use other methods, it will be very time-consuming.

Seeing Lu Yang methodically directing the chef to cook, Tian Ankang in the audience breathed a sigh of relief.

"Daughter, when you invited Xiao Lu to come, I was still skeptical, but later I realized how correct your choice was."

"Father, you've won the prize."

Tian Wenjing said embarrassedly.

"Uncle Tian, Wen Jing, don't be humble to each other, watch the game."

Wang Xiaoxiao interrupted the conversation between the Tian family's father and daughter.

Tian Wenjing and Tian Antai smiled and looked at the game scene.

In Tian Ankang's eyes, although Ma Junhao's cooking skills are extraordinary, compared with Lu Yang, he is still slightly inferior by half a point.

Lu Yang commanded everyone in a hurry, but Ma Junhao's side was in a panic.

Ma Junhao jumped to order his assistant to prepare side dishes, and if the other party slacked off, he would be scolded by him.

"Ma Junhao is in a hurry, and his mentality is also chaotic."

Tian Ankang knew it in his heart, and looked at Lu Yang calmly.

Time passed minute by minute, and more than half of the dishes on Lu Yang's side had been completed, but then a problem arose.

The number of ingredients distributed to him by the organizing committee is running out.

At this moment, Lu Yang still has a hot dish and a dessert here, but there are only some leftovers left at hand.

Seeing that there were still more than ten minutes left, the game was about to end, Hong Bo said nervously: "Chef Lu, what should we do?" ”

Lu Yang said calmly: "Bring the yam cubes." ”

"Yam Block ......"

Hong Bo was stunned for a moment, and said tentatively: "You don't want to use yam to make beets, right?" ”

Lu Yang nodded, picked up the kitchen knife and quickly peeled the skin, and then put the yam into the pot and steamed.

After a few minutes, Lu Yang took out the soft and glutinous yam, re-cut it into small strips, and put it in an oil pan to fry it in heavy oil.

Two minutes later, Lu Yang took out the fried yam, took out the white sugar and poured it into the wok, and fried the white sugar into syrup and quickly turned the pot upside down.

The crimson syrup dances in the pot.

Lu Yang moved his wrist slightly, carefully hung the cut yam strips, carefully hung the pulp, and took out a small handful of sesame seeds from the spice box next to him and sprinkled them evenly.

After some operation, a plate of golden silk yam was presented in front of everyone.

Seeing the silk yam made by Lu Yang with traditional silk drawing, everyone was surprised and gave Lu Yang a thumbs up.

Lu Yang smiled disappreciatively and said, "Get together the remaining leftovers and make the last hot dish." ”

"Hot dishes with offcuts?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

There are chicken, duck and fish in the leftovers, as well as fungus, carrots and cabbage.

Put all these things together, and the taste is all messed up.

When Lu Yang did this, he was clearly destroying the Great Wall.

Lu Yang ignored everyone's surprise and asked Hong Bo to collect the leftovers on a plate.

Immediately, Lu Yang poured the leftovers into the wok, stir-fried it over a rapid fire, stretched his right hand into the seasoning box as fast as lightning, took out the seasoning and sprinkled it evenly in the pot.

After a while, a fragrance wafted out of the pot.

Everyone sniffed their noses and felt that the aroma was very attractive, as if Lu Yang was preparing some delicacies from the mountains and seas.

At the same time, sharp-eyed people discovered that Ma Junhao was doing the same action as Lu Yang.

When Ma Junhao was cooking the last dish, he also encountered the same problem as Lu Yang, and he didn't have enough ingredients in his hand.
