Heilongjiang and Guangzhou, the two can be said to be one is located in the northernmost part of China, and the other is located in the south of China, with the scientific and technological strength of China today, even if it is a steamer, it takes more than ten hours, not to mention, ordinary civilians, there is no chance to get on a steamer, ordinary wooden boat, or a slightly more advanced building ship, is already the highest technology product they can touch!

Thinking about it this way, it is not very difficult to understand that there are contestants who arrive at this time.

It's just that you came all the way from Heilongjiang to Guangzhou......

"I'm really concerned about 'special chefs'."

The examiner said with a cold face to the gray-robed man who called himself Xiao Gang.

"Aha, there's no way around it. My father was a senior chef, and my grandfather was also a senior chef, and listening to them, my grandfather and grandpa Xuan never broke through to the super chef in their lifetimes, so they put their hopes on me. When I think of the suffering I suffered when I was a child, I ......"

"Alright, let's go in, I'm not interested in listening to your nonsense."

Seeing that Hui Xiaogang seemed to be in a situation that was getting worse, the examiner couldn't help but wave his hand, directly interrupting his words.

"You should know the theme and scope, right?"

"Well, I saw it when I came in."

"Well, for the sake of fairness, you only have half a pillar of incense now, and if you don't make a dish that meets the exam questions before the time is up, then you will be judged to have failed like other candidates." The examiner was still ruthless, he was the gatekeeper of this exam, even if he was very dissatisfied with the man in front of him. But the scales in the heart. But it must not be tilted. "No problem, right?"

"Of course!" Xiao Gang replied loudly.

After saying that, he carried his kitchen utensils directly to the corner of the hall, and there happened to be the front of the stove where Abbe, Merlin and Nanajia were!

"Hello, I'm Xiaogang, male, 21 years old, waiting for the word boudoir. Unmarried, single man, currently recruiting girlfriends. ”

It is said that now, when time is so short, Xiao Gang should seize every minute and every second, but at this moment, he turned around and turned towards Merlin and Nanajia...... In particular, Nana Jia stretched out her opponent.

"Forehead ......"

Hearing Xiao Gang's familiar tone, even Nana Jia was a little speechless at this time.

"Hello...... I'm Nanajia. ”

Reach out. and Xiaogang's hand shook gently, although there was some suspicion of eating tofu. But with Nanajia's cultivation, he can still barely do it.

It's just that...... In the next second, the smile on Nanajia's face disappeared, and in its place, it was replaced by a rather stern expression.

"What's wrong?"

Merlin had already finished telling the story of himself and Abbe, and at this time, he was smiling at the girl in front of the stove, looking forward to her return and awakening.

Despite this, Merlin is not ignorant of the changes in the outside world.

At least, Xiao Gang's arrival, and the change in the expression on Nanajia's face after that, were all seen by Merlin.

Although the contact has not been for a long time, Merlin already has a certain understanding of Nanajia.

A girl who is full of vitality most of the time, a girl who smiles and can bring endless happiness!

Even by Abe's side, Merlin sometimes felt frightened and sad because of the past of that position, but Fang Cai, obviously said everything in the past six months, but Merlin seemed to have forgotten the pain of not having the past. On that face that keeps talking, there is always a smile and gentleness.

Such a feeling...... It's as if the worries have suddenly disappeared.

And the reason, Merlin can only think of Nanajia.

…… Well, having said so much, it's not to show that Merlin has feelings for Nana Jia above his friends, and unlike the hazy feeling for Abe, Merlin has more of a joy for Nana Jia to meet a confidant.

There are fewer confidants in a thousand cups of wine, and Nanajia is like this, she can drink thousands of cups and has a confidant who can't finish talking about topics!

Now, my confidant has encountered a problem, should I help?

Help! Of course you have to help!

So, with a faint smile, Merlin appeared in the middle of Xiao Gang and Nanajia.

"Ah, Merlin!"

Seeing Merlin appear, Nana Jia showed a happy look, but in the next second, she took Merlin's hand and prepared to leave.

"I'm fine." The girl who was able to sense Merlin's inner thoughts once again had a happy smile on her face, "It's just that I just remembered something unhappy." ”

"That's right."

Merlin didn't dig deeper, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Gang, who had a strange aura all over his body because of his appearance.

"Hello, I'm Merlin, Nanajia's friend, hopefully...... Didn't bother you. ”

How could it not be disturbed!!!!!

Looking at the strange Shura field staged here, listening to Merlin's mocking words, everyone present, those chefs who had given up the exam, couldn't help but shout in their hearts.

Even those examiners couldn't help but cast a subtle glance over here at this time.

Boy, your girlfriend is right next to you! Is it really appropriate to come to such a hero to save the beauty?!

As for Xiao Gang......

"Aha, no, no."

Although he replied like this, he could find that Xiao Gang's words at the moment were insincere, although his face was blocked by the gray robe, but the resentment in his words still slowly overflowed from under the robe like substance.

"Well, if there's nothing to do, I'll go make zuò dishes first."

"Then we won't bother you."

A very brief confrontation ended with Xiao Gang's retreat and Merlin's temporary victory.

Looking at such a scene, everyone present, especially those gossip parties, was naturally extremely disappointed.

What a decent Shura field! Xiao Gang, you waste! Why don't you hold on a little longer?! Maybe in the next second, the girl named Abbe will wake up?

At that time, it was the real wonderful place!

Pity. Xiao Gang's character. It was already destined that he would not clash with Merlin head-on. Perhaps because of this, at the age of '21', he still retains his innocence......

But then ......

The scene on Xiao Gang's side made everyone who was slandering shut up!

The beautiful skills, as well as the golden light that flashes from time to time, all tell the same result at this moment.

――Xiao Gang from Heilongjiang is also a person with special chef skills!

"It's done!"

In just ten minutes, Xiao Gang's dishes were presented in front of the judges.

It's different from the main dish of the previous three. What Xiao Gang made is a dessert, a dessert that perfectly combines fish and flour.

Finely chop the fish and mix it with the fine flour. Use the stock instead of water as a mixer while coated with sesame seeds. Fry in hot oil until golden brown, and finally, sprinkle with seaweed powder or powdered sugar......

A very simple dish, as simple as ...... Even a junior chef comes to cook. It's a dish that almost never fails.

But it was such a dessert that made the five judges completely forget their identities. One by one, they feasted, and there was even a robbery.

"This is my fish dish – kamaboko dessert."

"Tong guò! Tong guò! ”

I didn't even bother to ask what the theme of the golden hall was imposed. Even if Xiao Gang really didn't finish the theme, the five judges were willing to use the opportunity to send him once.

How about a chef who can make such delicious food and give him a place in the Grand Chef semi-finals?

However, Xiao Gang didn't seem to be in the judges' affection, his eyes hidden under the brim of his hat narrowed into a straight line slightly, took a fish cake, gently opened it, and the next moment, the golden minced fish appeared from it.

"My 'Golden Room' is to mix these fish and flesh into the sugar cake room. Kindness...... I just don't know if anyone has thought of a similar idea before. ”

Xiao Gang's tone was very flat, and when he was explaining, Merlin, who was not far away, seemed to feel the sight under the brim of his hat.

Provocation...... Is it?

Merlin smiled softly. Regarding Xiao Gang's provocation, he was not a contestant, so he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Although I didn't think about it, there are actually many ways to achieve such a problem as the Golden Jade Hall.

Nana Jia is a new cut-out with the skills of a special chef, and the works of Lei Hua, Xiao Gang, and You Shihua are actually based on the homonym of fish and jade. Although they all passed the assessment, among the four people, there was no one who really fully fit the theme!

And in the entire venue hall, there may not be a few people who really judge the topic!

However, it is obvious that the examiner behind the scenes who came out with the exam questions also thought of these problems, so this time the first examination of the special chef, as long as there is no problem with the cooking skills, and the answer can be rubbed a little bit, and there is no big mistake, it will eventually be recognized as passing.

It's just that if you let Ah Otaku score, Nana Jia and the other four, at most, can only get a 'good', and if you want to get 'excellent', it's a little far behind.

So...... Abbey, hurry up, present your answers, your thoughts, all presented!

Merlin looked at the girl, he was expecting, expecting the other party to give an 'excellent' answer.

Maybe his gaze was too burning, or maybe it was just Abbe who finally thought of the answer, and the girl who was originally lying on the table with her hands on her cheeks suddenly stood up at this time!

"I see! The so-called 'full house of gold'! The so-called golden jade hall originally referred to this! ”

Abbey, who was shouting loudly, didn't care about the foolish eyes of the people around him, and didn't even have time to answer Merlin's inquiries on the side, so he rushed to the locker not far away.

"Crazy?"

"It's normal to be crazy even if you are so hard."

"It's all driven crazy."

……

The defeated dogs were talking on the sidelines, they had completely given up their own cooking, and the reason why they stayed at the venue was just to see how many people would pass the preliminaries in the end.

For such a difficult question, the number of people who can pass guò will not exceed six, or even ...... Four people is already the limit......

They have given up, but they just let out a useless curse, hoping for more people. Fall to the same level as them.

It's just that......

They seem to have forgotten about it. Even if it fails in the end. But as long as you work hard, then, in the process of pursuing your dreams, you will still make great progress.

Not every Grand Chef has full talent, many more people have experienced failure, perseverance, and learning. After failing, persevering, and learning again, I slowly mastered the essentials.

The stupid bird flies first, although it learns a little slower, but these people are also getting closer to their dreams!

On the other hand, those who give up lightly...... Well, not all, but most of them are intermediate chefs who come by luck......

Can they become a Master Chef? Hehe......

Perhaps it is to prove that the heavens do not only favor those who possess gifts. In the next ten minutes, a full nine people finished cooking.

among them. Two of them finally passed the preliminary round, while the remaining seven, although they were not cleared because of the large deviation, there was no frustration on the faces of these people.

Such a difficult theme has been made! So, what other topics do you dare not face?

Obviously failed, but these people's hearts are getting stronger and stronger, and even self-confidence begins to arise in their hearts.

In the end, what the seeds of self-confidence can bring to them, perhaps, after two or three conferences, will be known.

…… Back to business.

Abbe's cooking skills are truly special, and her skills are inherited from Liu's father and Merlin respectively.

Although the skills of both parties have not yet been fully inherited and integrated, at this moment, she also has the ability to be inferior to different special chefs.

The hand rose and fell, and then countless flashes of silver light.

Under Abbe's flawless knife work, a group of fish such as sea bream and grass carp, which should have taken more than ten minutes to process, were peeled and deboned in the blink of an eye.

The flesh is shredded or chopped, and the bones and fins are taken to make a broth......

And this is just the first step in Abbe's cooking.

Step 2......

River shrimp, hairy crab, sea cucumber, abalone......

The best seafood is processed one by one, and each one is taken from the best of them.

The rest of the parts are boiled into broth, just like fish bones.

Step 3......

Vegetables, mushrooms, and countless other ingredients that cannot be named are processed and divided, just like seafood before it.

Step 4, game, poultry......

The fifth step is to eat staple foods such as rice, flour, and corn flour......

Step 6...... Step 7...... Step 8......

Abbe's movements were getting faster and faster, and at the same time, the dishes on the stove that were used to hold the ingredients were already a little too much to hold.

"If there's not enough space, you can use someone else's table."

The examiner pointed to the empty stove next to him, but his heart was becoming more and more curious about the dishes that Abbe was cooking.

And Abbe......

"Ah, thank you."

It took nearly ten seconds before she suddenly reacted and thanked the examiner repeatedly.

"Forget it, you can continue to cook yourself."

Not only the examiner, but almost everyone present gathered their eyes here, and they were all curious, curious about what kind of cuisine requires so many ingredients.

And among them, naturally Nana Jia is also included.

"Abbey, is it really okay?"

looked at the incense pillar that had burned four-fifths in front of him, and then looked at Abbe, who was flying up and down not far away, Nanajia, who had a good relationship with Merlin, couldn't help but be a little nervous at this time.

Time was already running out, but the girl Merlin cared about didn't even light the fire.

Is this a sashimi or something like that? But then those vegetables are useless!

Nana Jia thought about it, she couldn't imagine the dishes that Abbe was going to present.

Merlin, however, seemed to understand something.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that the dishes that will be there will be the most gorgeous works of the day."

Merlin, who had always been polite before, was unusually at this time, his face was full of confidence and pride, as if it was not Abbe who was cooking, but him.

"Then I'll look forward to it."

Nanajia, who was originally going to pretend to accidentally bump into Abbe to get the other party's thoughts, but after hearing Merlin's explanation, she strangely let go.

If it were normal, Nana Jia would never change her mind, her ability was so convenient that even if she knew she shouldn't, she still couldn't help but use it.

But now...... Although Nana Jia didn't find out herself, staying by Merlin's side, she was indeed suppressing her ability!

…… As the minutes passed, more and more people began to submit their answers.

This was the most painful period for the examiners, and in twenty minutes, they tasted more than 30 dishes.

Fortunately, perhaps because they understand that they will not be able to understand the relationship of guò, many chefs who have completed the cooking do not present it, but swallow the bitterness with their own tears.

In the end, when the incense pillar burned to the last point, the people who passed the preliminary round of the preliminary round had already been determined to be nine.

And among them, not including Abbe!

Is Abbe failing? No! Her cooking isn't finished yet!

It's just that there is only one point left in time!

Is it too late? Is it really too late?

Nanajia clutched Merlin's sleeve tightly, and Merlin, looking at Abe, was also a little uncertain at this time.

Is it too complicated? Then give up some of it!

Merlin prayed, and even now he believed that Abbe would be able to pass the guò first attempt.

But...... Time, it's really a little tight......

In the last five minutes, one of the pots on Abbe's stove went out. Then the second, then the third......

Four minutes ...... Abbe began to plate.

Three-minute ...... The last pot goes out.

Two minutes...... Plating is almost complete.

One minute...... Dealing with small details......

Half a minute...... Twenty seconds...... Ten seconds......

All the examiners had already arrived at Abbe's table at this time, and they were also waiting for the dish that made them curious.

And in the end, when the incense pillar was almost invisible, Abbe finally stopped his movements.

"I'm done!"

The next second, instead of the previous serious, happy smile bloomed on her face. (To be continued......)
