Chapter 39: Semi-finals
After registering our names at the entrance of the staff aisle, we were taken directly backstage, and the staff pointed to an open-top crowd and said to me, "Chef is in the lottery, and everyone else is waiting here." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The three of them rolled their eyes and went straight to find a place to sit in the pile, and then the staff continued to take me to the shed next to me: "You wait a minute, the TV station will come out when it is ready, and it depends on your luck in drawing lots," he said to the next few huts with doors: "It's almost time, let's change clothes." ”
"Huh? Still need clothes? I was stunned and touched a simple chef's hat from my butt pocket to show him: "I just brought a hat - didn't you say that only the lottery was drawn today?" ”
"Then you have to have an image!" The staff pointed around, "Look at the people!" ”
Looking left and right, I realized that I was already late, and there were already dozens of familiar masters in the shed, wearing all kinds of chef clothes, tattooed dragons and phoenixes to show their respective identities, and the one who made stinky tofu stewed pig's feet last time was also among them - today this girl is wearing a bright red Tang robe, with five big characters on it:
Little Master of China!
In addition, the buddy who roasted the whole sheep last time was also there, the costume shape was also entertaining, the clothes were almost the same as carrying the big one, it should be to highlight the fierce and rough of the girl, a bush of armpit hair probed the head from under the squeaky nest, exuding a certain smell but he didn't know it himself, he went everywhere to shake hands with people and say hello, and after a few trips, there was no grass within a radius of five meters......
Judging from the momentum, he is also amazing, if you make mutton dishes, this smell can be regarded as its own!
Seeing that I didn't take his words to heart at all, the staff stomped their feet and walked away......
The staff walked on the front foot, and the stinky tofu stewed pig's feet had already come over on the back foot, probably because I didn't know anyone and was bored, so I took the initiative to greet me: "Hey, it turns out that you have also been promoted." ”
I smiled and said, "Good luck." ”
"Those who make soup are lucky, and they chose the right dish!" Stewed pig's feet with stinky tofu sighed twice, and then said to me with interest: "By the way, what are you cooking today?" He winked at me: "Tell me, I'll tell you what I cook." ”
I casually said, "Skewers." ”
"It's not easy!" Stinky tofu stewed pig's feet exclaimed: "See the truth in the subtleties, this is everyone's style!" ”
"It's okay, that's what I'm supposed to do!"
"Then you must be very good at it," he began to show himself off after a few exclamations, "Do you know what my dish is?" ”
"I don't know."
"Beef ramen!" He said to me triumphantly: "I also do this, I have been pulling ramen for decades - I'm sorry, now we are still opponents, I won't tell you exactly how to do it, next time, next time I have the opportunity I will tell you." ”
I was having a ride with him, at this time there were a few more people in the house, and it seemed that they were almost there, and at this time a few people came in from the outside, each dragging a large box and a small box in their hands, and greeted us as soon as they came in: "Line up, all come to line up to make up!" ”
The other hula lined up in several columns according to the speed of reaction, and I and the stinky tofu stewed pig's feet were the last dishes to understand, and I was surprised: "The big man still wears makeup?" ”
The makeup artist began to take out a brush from the box and brush it on the face of the person in the first place, no one paid attention to me, but the staff who came in at the door took care of it: "How can you go on TV without makeup, when the face is like a ghost, then you will be ashamed." ”
"No need!" I began to wipe my face hypocritically: "My face is quite white!
This staff member estimates that there are a lot of variety shows and talent shows that we have participated in, and people like us are used to it, and we are not nervous at all when we hear this, and we are still busy with the things at hand, by the way: "Then whatever you want, anyway, the director and judges just said that if you don't wear makeup, you will deduct ten points first......
I and the stinky tofu stewed pig's feet swished past, and between the gestures, someone had already taken the lead in drawing and stood up, and when I turned back, I happened to come face to face with us - the sound of stinky tofu stewed pig's feet snorted to the back, and I was stunned on the spot, I couldn't believe my eyes!
In the next second, the team dispersed, and all the chefs waiting in line for makeup scattered, shouting at each other: ", are you guys doing this competition or deliberately ruining our business?" How are you telling us to go out and cook in the future? ”
The makeup artist herself was stunned......
The noisy chaos inside soon alarmed the outside, and a guy wearing a full pocket, sunglasses, and a roll of paper in his hand rubbed in, and was startled when he looked at it, and immediately after coming back to his senses, he immediately went crazy at the makeup artist: "What are you guys doing?" ”
Several makeup artists had already stopped at this time, and one of them seemed to be the leader and said embarrassedly: "Master, don't worry, if you have an opinion, say it slowly, do you think our makeup faces are not white enough or-" He paused: "Why don't I give them two balls of red on their faces?" ”
Looking up in anger, he looked around: "Who found the makeup artist?" Can you make it clear to the fuck, let's broadcast live, not filming! Assistant, assistant, where are you bastard......"
Before the words fell, a guy wearing a cap came out of the side, nodded and said: "I'm sorry for the director, I can't hire a professional makeup artist for temporary employment, these brothers are all invited by me with great difficulty, the technology is a little worse, there is no way for you to make do with it!" ”
The director stared at him angrily, and he was also deflated in half a sound, and waved his hand weakly: "Forget it, then I can only make do with it - you go and stare at me, be human, don't smear my people's faces again-they won't be putty cream, right?" ”
The cap swore and said: "You can rest assured about this, not to mention the quality of the craftsmanship, but they are definitely 100% makeup artists from the class, and I will vouch for this with my head." ”
At this time, the makeup artist who took the lead also came over, patted his chest and promised: "Boss, you can believe us once, just that pure accident - you don't know, we have been putting on makeup for so many decades, and half of the guests are not satisfied, don't worry!" ”
With the double guarantee of the cap and the makeup artist, the director can only believe it, just at this time, someone outside the door shouted the director, and the director walked out of the door and told again: "Okay, you hurry up - by the way, where did you put on makeup before?" ”
The makeup artist who took the lead took out a rubber glove and put it on his hand: "All the morgues in the city are invited by us!" ”
The director stood still, and then the taste of the words came: ", no wonder there are no guests who make up and shout - how many co-authors are applying makeup to dead people?" ”
Now all the chefs are gone!
According to everyone's words, even if we are not feudal and superstitious, we have to worry about whether they can make up for everyone, at that time, everyone suddenly formed a united front, saying that if they insisted on putting on makeup, they would leave, so that the director could only ask the makeup artist to leave in the end - but if the makeup is not put on stage, it will not work, and the director doesn't know what to do for a while......
The female staff member who had just brought me in made a move: "Why don't we deal with it according to local conditions?" Let all the female colleagues who usually put on makeup for themselves help, and if nothing else, put on a foundation and concealer for the big guys, and then apply some blush, the eyebrows are slightly straightened, and the hair is combed and smooth, almost to deal with the past? ”
The director turned from sorrow to joy: "Bah, this should work!" ”
…… After more than half an hour of rescue by all the staff, the 32 chefs who participated in the competition finally packed everyone up before the start of the broadcast and began to officially start the preparations before the live broadcast.
The sun squid god is also among them, and the people brought by Ya this time are He Shen, Yi Yin, and Yi Ya, among which He Shen should come as a taster, and the other two are famous food masters in history, and their cooking skills are superb!
When they saw that I was just smiling and silent, it was quite a bit of a 'see how you died' in it, and I also rolled my eyes cleanly......
Invite the professional audience to set off the show to start entering, their quality and professional ethics determine their behavior, sure enough, more enthusiasm and records than the real audience invited, less messy things to sign autographs, after coming in, they sat quietly according to the assigned seats - more than 20 minutes later, with a burst of the most dazzling ethnic style music sounded, a group of aunts jumped from both ends of the stage into the stage, stood in the center and shook their arms and legs and danced a square dance......
The lights and sound effects are fully turned on, a man and a woman shake their heads and tails to cooperate with the rhythm of the rhythm, the audience responded with warm applause, and then the aunts left the stage, replaced by a row of all kinds of people and so on to sit on the stage in turn, each host will explain one by one, the title from gourmets to food celebrities, summed up in one sentence:
These are all masters of the kitchen who have entered the hall, and they are famous for serving their daughter-in-law and cooking!
This link and the host's poor mouth took about more than ten minutes, and then according to the size of the fame, the chef began to walk out of the stage, standing in the center of the stage and waving downward, and the audience was led by the assistant to applaud and cheer in a layered, rhythmic and interesting manner, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious!
Then the blockbuster came on the field - several men and women in white sportswear pushed a large box with one side transparent and the other sides buckled with plastic plates on the stage, inside were countless ping-pong balls of the same shape, the transparent one facing the audience, and the opaque plastic plate facing the others; Immediately after that, another huge whiteboard came to the stage, and the four groups had already drawn the frames, just waiting to fill in the names of the people.
Thirty-two people in turn on the field to catch the table tennis, after catching out, the two hosts were shocked to write their names on the whiteboard, I and the Sun Squid God are in the back, seeing that one or two groups have all been written and none of us have smoked, I can't help but move in my heart, and I secretly said to the Sun Squid God: "It would be good if we were two in a group, and the results of this round of the game will be out." ”
"What do you mean?"
"The two of them are in a group, but only the first place in the competition will be selected to enter the re-examination, and if any of us is second, won't we be eliminated directly?"
The sun squid god thought for a while and said, "No, you must win or lose in the final!" ”
"The rules are not given for nothing!" I said dismissively: "What if it's really a group?" ”
The sun squid god said cleanly: "Then I'm sorry, I'm sure you'll be eliminated!" ”
"Why?"
"I already had a dream of being a judge last night," said the sun squid god with a smug face, "If any of them dare to give me a low score, then none of them will want to sleep peacefully in the future!" ”
Me: "...... Damn, it's all the same! ”
