Chapter 21: All Actors (2-in-1 Chapter)
With the contestant's bleak exit, the ruthless and brutal semi-finals continued to knock out the losers, and Yare and Genevieve paid a considerable price for it in the days to come.
The four finalists were the finalists: Pansy Theobald (Asia Minor), Zenia Blu (Tarago), Marci Claydon (Apennine) and Biwick Blanche (Gallic cuisine).
When the sun lost its scorching majesty and slowly disappeared below the horizon, night fell, and the fuel street lamps lit up one after another, and the clear night sky was like a blue carpet spread on it.
In order to prepare for tomorrow's finals, the three second seats and one of the chief who joined in the excitement held the final final discussion in the conference room of the Black Seat.
"Tomorrow is the finals, and the four contestants who can get to this point, in terms of culinary skills, it is difficult to distinguish the difference, and we need to be cautious. ”
Eluncia sat alone at the end of the conference table, talking without discomfort under the disgusted gaze of the other three.
After waiting patiently for her to finish, Genevieve couldn't wait to start speaking:
"I don't think it's important who wins tomorrow's final, it's important to make the name of the food show out and amplify it as much as possible! ”
"You're right. ”
Luya nodded in agreement, her gaze skipped directly over the female lead, and stayed on Yalei: "The previous game was a competition, and tomorrow's game must be a show, so ...... Alec. It's time for you to change your lines. ”
"I understand. ”
The black-haired knight's face flushed. I thought about it for a moment. Then he said: "According to this theme, tomorrow's final must be more hot and eye-catching, but time is in a hurry, are you all ready?"
There was silence......
"Could it be that you didn't prepare anything?" Arei suddenly felt a headache.
Nodding silently......
"The cooking and food show has been planned and operated by you from beginning to end, and we are just temporary members, so how can we be prepared. Luya raised her sharp chin and said as a matter of course.
"Don't you have a plan for the finals?" asked Geneviev, suspicious.
"Plans can't keep up with the changes...... The original plan for the finals was still to be run by the Black Seat, but in the final analysis, it was because of the rush of time...... But. I already have a clue now. Are's eyes sparkled with wisdom.
"Let's hear it. Eluncia pricked up her ears in curiosity.
"This way...... And so and so on...... And then ...... And then ......"
"Sounds great!"
"I can't see that you're a reliable man. ”
"This will definitely be a template for all future food competitions!"
......
On the day of the finals
Bang bang!
In front of the entrance hall of the Black Seat, two rows of a total of six salutes sprayed streamers, fluttering ribbons flying in the air under the blue sky, and in the melodic music, the final of the cooking and food competition finally kicked off.
The long-awaited auditorium was enlarged again, with 100 seats on the left and right sides, bringing the total to 500, and the hall was already packed with the Black Seats, and the ticket price was doubled at the same time.
Knock-knock-knock-!
After the bells. The hall was restored to its golden glory, and four confident chefs were in front of all the spectators. Start showing off your own unique cooking process.
In this slightly dull process, Nicole's excited voice resounded in the hall again, introducing the dishes she didn't understand to the unsavvy audience:
"Let's take a look at the Jersey player's Tarago barbecue, she even carefully calculated the angle of the fire, so that the texture of the meat and the line of defense of the fire are grilled at right angles, so that the meat is heated evenly, the juices will flow more fully, and the real lines can even see through the texture!"
......
While the female man introduced the contestants' dishes to the audience, four male lions rented from the zoo were chained to the back of the judges' seats under the traction of four large iron chains, which attracted the attention of many spectators.
However, no one will be afraid, and the lion who dares to be presumptuous in front of the four Scourge Knights is estimated to have not been born yet. In this final final, what kind of boos will the organizers make? Many viewers expected it.
The wait time is always extremely long, but in fact it is only an hour, and the chefs were informed yesterday to prepare as many ingredients as possible for the time consumed by cooking briefly.
Bell bell!
Finally, with the crisp and piercing ringing of the bell, the cooking time is over, and the four chefs, who have finished the final masterpiece, cover the dishes with silver food hoods and deliver them to the butlers.
This time, instead of immediately bringing the finished dishes to the councilors' seats, the butlers turned around and entered the side hall, and after a half-delay before walking to the judges' seats through the back door.
Of course, in this final, the judges will no longer do anything like "turning around for you", and the tables and chairs will be set up facing the audience, waiting for the moment when the dish will be finished.
"The last moment of the anticipation is finally here, and the audience can't wait to see the four contestants decide, Nicole, I can't wait!"
After a few days of exercise, Nicole's ability to sell cuteness has really grown a lot, and after putting on a few signature poses that make people blush and heartbeat, she aimed the megaphone at the judges' seat:
"Next, the first to appear will be the authentic cuisine of Rosevia, the Apennines Explosion Smoked Fish!"
The butlers immediately placed the silver-covered dishes on the table with a fluid motion, and as they had done in all previous games, they placed their trays on their stomachs with their hands behind the four judges.
“......”
After exchanging glances with each other, the four of them took a deep breath and opened the silver food cover at the same time, and at this moment, the lights in the field suddenly dimmed.
At the same time. In full view. Accompanied by the majestic roar of a lion. The exploding smoked fish on the dish suddenly burst into a scorching silver light, and a huge pillar of light shot straight into the dome, as if it was about to break it alive.
"It's so dazzling!
"it, the dish is glowing!"
"My eyes!
The audience, which had never seen such a formation, was full of wails, and more than half of them were hurt by the flashing eyes, but fortunately, the staff who had prepared for it quickly sent cold towels, and the howls gradually subsided.
"Damn, March. Why does your dish shine!" The other three chefs also went crazy, grabbed each other's clothes with their hands and feet, and asked viciously.
"I don't know, I don't know, I really don't know!" Feng Qi never dreamed that the dishes he made would shine one day.
Of course, all of this is the conspiracy of Yalei and others, the origin of Genevieve from which the silver light comes from, and the lion is trained by Yalei with a fear force field, which is better than a domestic puppy. Of course, I want them to roar as much as they want.
But the show is just beginning.
The four commentators held up the cutlery with expressionless faces and cut a small corner from the exploding smoked fish. He put the steaming fish in his mouth and slowly closed his eyes.
(Yalei, it's time for you to behave!)
"Delicious!"
The loud and neat lion's roar sounded again, and the black-haired knight stood up from his seat with a shocked face, staring at the plate tightly, and said in a rapid but passionate tone:
"The aroma is exploding! The aroma of this fish is like a pinprick that stimulates the sense of smell, and through careful baking, this fish meat is infused with all the essence of spices, and it is intense!
Bang bang!
Elinzia bowed her head and was silent, and the fingers under the dining table quickly shot, and the ashes that were unbreakable bombarded the steaming heat, completely detonating the air, and in this way...... The feeling of giving the audience is of course that the fragrance is really exploding!
"It's really exploding!"
There was another howl in the audience, but this time it turned into a howl of excitement.
Feng Qi was stunned and looked at the dishes he cooked with his own hands, and muttered in his mouth: "Can anyone tell me why the aroma of the explosive smoked fish I made really explodes?"
"We don't know what you're cooking!" the other three shouted angrily.
They were shocked and shocked, and this did not prevent Yalei from continuing to summarize the dish: "You can feel it in every bite, the fish explodes in the mouth, like an exploding spark, it is endlessly memorable and delicious!"
Although Nicole was mentally prepared, she almost froze in place, but fortunately, the female man's lines were thicker, and she immediately reacted from the shock, raised the megaphone and said:
"Thank you to Marchy Claydon for giving us such a visual feast, and I would like to ask the judges to rate this dish!"
"Ten points!" said Yalei, holding up his wooden sign.
"Nine points!" Genevieve held up his wooden sign.
"Nine points!" Luya held up her wooden sign.
"Eight points!" said Elencia, holding up her wooden sign.
"Based on the scores of the four judges, the average score for this dish is nine, congratulations to March Claydon, and thank you again for the explosive smoked fish he brought us!"
After smiling towards Feng Qi, who was still petrified at this moment, Nicole raised the megaphone again:
"Next, the judges will taste the historic Gallic cuisine, the North Sea shrimp chips! Chef Birwick Blanche! Let's applaud him!"
After the warm applause, the lights dimmed again, and the audience cautiously squinted ahead, lest the judges remove the silver cover and the glowing dishes appear on the plate.
Their guess was correct.
The silver brilliance rose into the sky again, and after shooting into the dome, it once again turned into scattered beams of light and dispersed.
"It's shining again!
"Dishes that shine are good dishes!"
"I really want to taste it!"
Because of the preparation in their hearts, the wailing in the audience was much quieter, and more people were swallowing saliva and looking at the judges with envy.
"Why is your dish running out!" Jersey and Pansy asked, grabbing Bivek by the hem of his coat, furious.
"I don't know!" replied with a sad face.
"Hahahaha! Yours will glow too. Feng Qi hid next to him and laughed wildly as if he was crazy.
At this time, the four of them lifted the silver dinner cover and set it aside. Knife and fork at the same time as slicing the North Sea shrimp slices. The eyes were invariably focused on Geneviv.
(Geneviv.) It's up to you this time!)
The blue-haired knight's expressionless fork picked up a slice of shrimp, sniffed the aroma as if intoxicated, slowly put it in his mouth, and only after half a sound did he open his eyes:
"The simmered shrimp slices are paired with winter kelp, and this soft and feminine flavor is like everything hibernation in winter. Prepare for the signs of spring eruption!"
With a cool breeze, the dome was sprinkled with crystal ice particles that shimmered in the light, as if to bring the immediate winter into the hall in an instant......
"They flew! they flew!"
In the eyes of the audience, the whole table, along with the rest of the judges, gradually took off, slowly rising and falling in the wind and snow.
Genevieve maintained the three-element force field, forcibly did not show a difficult expression, and said in an aria:
"Ahh The elastic and flexible texture in the mouth is like wandering in the waves of the North Sea. It's wonderful. ”
"I see! I finally get it!"
Feng Qi suddenly burst into tears, choked up and said, "Second seat, they are using their own actions to interpret the taste of our dishes!"
"I see!"
Two lines of tears of emotion flowed from Biwick's eyes, and he sobbed and said, "Can there be such a diner who can comment on my dishes in this way...... In this life...... No more regrets!"
"That's true. The remaining two chefs looked approving.
"Judging from the performance of the judges of Geneviv, the North Sea shrimp chips are also extremely tasty, and I would like to thank the Biwick contestants for bringing us the coolness of the North Sea in the summer!"
After putting out the two signature cute gestures as usual, Nicole pointed the megaphone at the judges: "Then, please ask our judges to rate this dish!"
"Nine points!" Areh held up his wooden sign.
"Ten ten!" said Geneviv, holding up his wooden sign.
"Nine points!" Luya held up her wooden sign.
"Seven!" said Eluncia, holding up a wooden sign.
"Based on the scores of the four judges, the final score of the North Sea shrimp chips brought to us by Biwick players is, 8.75 points! Thank you again for the coolness of this summer, thank you for the North Sea shrimp chips!"
After smiling at Biwick, who was silently weeping, Nicole took a deep breath, and her voice suddenly increased several degrees:
"Next, Thalagos's culinary master, Zenia Blu, will bring us the famous Tarago's barbecue!
The audience was silent and indifferent, not saying it sooner or later, but only after they were blinded twice, the organizer must have done it on purpose!
After the four of them lifted the silver food cover, four huge pillars of light rushed towards the dome, condensing but not dispersing, until they expanded to the front of the auditorium before they turned into spots of light and dissolved into the air.
"It's your turn this time. Biwick and Feng Qi wiped away their tears and turned their gaze to Zenia.
"Hahaha, Miss Ben's carefully cooked Tarago barbecue cubes emit the most light, Miss Ben has won!" Zenya crossed her hands on her hips and laughed proudly.
(Lua, it's up to you to do this time!)
She admired the dish in front of her as if it were a work of art, and after a long time, she couldn't bear to cut off a small piece, picked it up with a fork, and put it in her mouth.
As if to taste all the flavors of the barbecue, Lua closed her eyes and chewed for half a minute before she slowly spoke:
"The aroma of wild boar, the wild smell that rushes straight to the nostrils, elevates the style of the palate to another level, and this majesty and bravery is transformed into a high note, which echoes in the depths of the stomach like the roar of a wounded beast! ”
There were tears in the corners of her eyes, and the band at the back of the hall played a heroic symphony leisurely, and took another bite of barbecue, with a hint of sadness, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Every time you chew it, the fragrant gravy of the carefully roasted wild boar meat fills your mouth...... I want to taste more of the gravy, no matter how many bites I take, I will only want to eat it more!"
In Luya's subdued and contagious voice, a picture of the injured boar king fighting a pack of wolves alone, and finally being defeated because he was outnumbered, and the bleak picture of the hero's howl to the moon under the end of the road suddenly appeared in everyone's minds.
"Don't die, the boar king!"
"The Boar King will never be a slave!"
"If you fall a boar king, you will stand up more boar kings!"
In the tear-jerking heroic symphony, certain emotional, tear-glanding spectators immediately began to weep and began to pray for the unknown boar king.
Unexpectedly, without any special effects, we can achieve such a level of literature and art just by words, even we and the audience are moved. Luya, you are really a real master, and you are losing!
Yare and Genevieve looked at the female knight with deep respect in their eyes.
"Zenia, calm down, it's not your fault!"
"If you know that you make it so delicious, the Boar King will be happy in heaven!"
"Woo woo, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have killed you, woo woo woo!" Zenya covered her mouth and nose in a state of emotion, and fell to her knees and cried loudly, and the other three chefs beside her couldn't persuade her.
"Tarago's barbecue is indeed a heart-wrenching poem, let us pay tribute to the boar king who died heroically!"
Nicole wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, with a hint of crying in her voice, and aimed at the judges: "Next, I will invite four judges to score the heroic fighting spirit of the Boar King!"
"Ten points!" said Yalei, holding up his wooden sign.
"Nine points!" Genevieve held up his wooden sign.
"Ten ten!" Luya held up her wooden sign.
"Eight points!" said Elencia, holding up her wooden sign.
"Based on the scores of the four judges, the Boar King, no, Zenya's score is 9.25 points, let us thank her for bringing us heroic poetry!" (To be continued......)
