Chapter 490: Ling Yun
Seeing Xiao Yu ask about what happened just now, Er Ya immediately raised her eyebrows and told Xiao Yu with a flutter.
It turned out that in the second half of the competition, this 'all-round chef' machine actually began to automatically spit out noodles quickly, this noodles spit out very fast, and after a while, the noodles spit out caught up with most of the contestants, and by the end of the game, it actually surpassed Ren Hongchang of Xilin Hotel, and after the final weighing, the noodles it spit out were only one or two less than Shi Jianlong.
It can be said that Shi Jianlong's first place win is also very thrilling.
Of course, there were also contestants who questioned the quality of the noodles spit out by this machine, but after the judges cooked them in the pot on the spot and tasted and compared, the noodles made by this 'all-round chef' were the same as the 12-button noodles pulled by the contestants by hand, and even surpassed in the degree of gluten.
As a result, the 'all-round chef' became famous, and he won first place in the knife competition and second place in the ramen competition, immediately becoming the team with the highest demand to win the championship.
Although the results of 'Qi Xianju' are not worse than it, it is obvious that the 'Almighty Chef' has thrown a few roads out of the way in the gimmick, and can only watch this machine steal the limelight.
However, because the participating teams of 'Qi Xianju' are all composed of young people in their early twenties, among all the participating teams, they are the youngest group with an average age, and their results are very outstanding, which has also attracted the attention of many people, and even the camera lens of the TV station has swept over them many times.
This is exactly what Xiao Yu wants, and it is his original intention to participate in the competition by making the popularity of 'Qi Xianju' through the competition. Only by performing well in the cooking competition will the popularity of 'Qi Xianju' become bigger and bigger, and the business will get better and better.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to have the third competition - 'Eagle Eater'. Food carving is a unique knife skill in Chinese cooking, with high value of arts and crafts, in the high-end banquet, food carving is an indispensable link, but also one of the highest manifestations of knife work in cooking. Now, I would like to invite Master Lu Qiming, a Sichuan chef, to explain the rules of the food carving competition! ”
As soon as Xiao Ke's words fell, a wave of applause immediately came to mind.
Although there are only 30 groups of participating teams left on the contestants' bench, the applause is not weaker than before, who is Master Lu? That's a veteran figure in the Chinese culinary industry, definitely a national treasure, who usually lives in a simple place, how can these people see it?
Master Lu took the microphone from Xiao Ke's hand and walked in front of everyone, although he was over seventy years old, his steps were calm, his face was full of light, and he did not show any old age.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the third competition is eagle food, and the material we provide is radish."
Hearing that the material of the food carving competition is radish, many people are relieved, in comparison, radish is the most commonly used material in food carving materials, its texture is very suitable for carving, that is, a three-year-old child with a knife to carve indiscriminately, you can also carve out a little person out, the cooking competition chose such a simple material to make food carving materials, it really makes most people do not understand, many people have questions, "Is this threshold too low?" ”
Master Lu glanced at it, and took in everyone's reactions, but his face was unwavering, and continued, "The competition time of this food carving competition is 30 minutes, and the proposition is 'mother's love', I want to emphasize here that the food carving work must be consistent with the proposition, if the work does not match the proposition, even if the carving skills are good, they will be eliminated!" ”
After saying that, Master Lu turned around and returned to the judge's seat on his own.
The contestants were dumbfounded, the general food carving proposition is basically to celebrate the festival or take flowers, birds, fish and insects, dragons and phoenixes Chengxiang these specific physical propositions, but the word "mother's love" is really ethereal, people have a feeling of not knowing where to start, many people suddenly realized, the original difficulty of this competition is here!
"Please send players to participate in the competition, and those who do not go to the competition area within five minutes will be waived!" The hostess Qiao Qiao's beautiful voice echoed in the audience.
Many of the participating teams were embarrassed and uncertain, and they got together to discuss who to send for this round.
Xiao Yu glanced at Ling Yun beside him, only to see that he frowned slightly, obviously thinking about how to express this proposition. He couldn't help but smile, patted Ling Yun on the shoulder and said, "Ling Yun, what do you want?" Let's get on the field! ”
Ling Yun was not surprised to hear Xiao Yu let him play, he knew that this third game was definitely tailor-made for himself, Xiao Yu would definitely send him to play, he had been practicing food eagles for so long, and he wanted to perform well, but he didn't expect to encounter such a strange proposition.
"Brother Lingyun! Come on! Erya's voice came from the side.
"Lingyun, Er Ya and I have both entered the top three, don't embarrass our 'Immortal Residence', otherwise I won't spare you when I come back!" Shi Jianlong's voice was clearly threatening.
Ling Yun nodded at the two of them, got up from his seat, picked up his toolbox, and walked towards the competition area.
Looking at Ling Yun's back, Xiao Yu thought thoughtfully, in terms of cooking qualifications, Ling Yun can only be said to be average, in the 'Qi Xianju', cooking skills higher than him abound, not to mention that they are not as good as Shi Jianlong and a few of them, and they are not even as good as Erya, but in terms of food carving, he is too much higher than the two, no wonder the 'kitchen god' will specially let people give him his notes.
However, judging from his past food carving works, most of them are simple imitations, and they have not formed their own style, and some places are still very immature, especially in the grasp of the overall situation, which can be said to be tangible and unintentional.
This competition just gave him a good opportunity, a chance to blend in.
If he can withstand the pressure in the competition and create a work with his own artistic conception, then his future in the world of food carving will be limitless, if he can not withstand the psychological pressure and carve a work out of the wild, then not only his career will stop, but also 'Qi Xianju' will also face the fate of elimination.
This game is a gamble for Ling Yun, but for Xiao Yu, why not? It's just that Xiao Yu is betting on Ling Yun.
In less than five minutes, all the players were already in place in the competition area.
This competition obviously made many of the chefs of the participating teams unable to sit still, the chef of the 'Xilinmen' Hotel, Jin Long, the chef of the Sunshine Hotel, Mo Donghai, and the chef of the Liulang Han combination, Xiang Feng, all made their debuts.
And Ren Hongchang, the chef of Xilin Hotel, who had just won the third place in the ramen competition, also had to play again with a bitter face, the ability of his three assistants was really low, and seeing that the other participating teams had sent chefs to fight, thinking that there were still 10 elimination places in this game, he was really sloppy, so he had to take care of his face and play again.
Throughout the audience, only Xiao Yu, the chef of 'Qi Xianju', was still sitting on the contestant's seat, looking as steady as Mount Tai, which made people guess a little more about the strength of 'Qi Xianju'.
The host Xiao Ke gave an order, and the game officially began.
Each of the contestants began to take out their carving tools and got busy, but the contestants of the 'Immortal Residence' did not see any movement, but just stood there with their eyes closed, still pondering.
"What the hell is going on? Could it be that he wants to abstain outright? The eyes of the players watching the game swept over Ling Yun's body one after another, and they couldn't help whispering.
You know, the time of the eagle competition is only 30 minutes, it can be said that every minute and every second is precious, how can there be time to carefully consider the proposition? Even if you rack your brains to come up with a good form of expression, will you still have time to finish the work by then? The judges will never give a score to a semi-finished product.
Five minutes passed.
Ten minutes passed.
Ling Yun still maintained a posture of standing with his eyes closed, without the slightest movement.
Many of the contestants' works in the field have begun to take shape, and the only one who has no action like Ling Yun is probably the operator of the New Product Research Institute of the Armed Police Technical College, who just stuffed a big radish into the 'Almighty Chef' at the beginning of the game, pressed a few buttons, and left the rest to the 'Almighty Chef' to deal with.
This 'all-round chef' is really magically tight, putting in apples can automatically slice, putting in dough can produce ramen noodles, this time, can you put in radishes and automatically carve a decent work?
For a while, the 'all-round chef' attracted the attention of many people.
"Hey, Xiaoyu, what kind of plane do you say this kid Lingyun is doing? Does he want to give up the game on his own initiative? Shi Jianlong stared at Ling Yun for a long time, but he didn't figure out the taste, seeing that there were only 20 minutes left, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help but ask.
Er Ya had full confidence in Ling Yun, and without waiting for Xiao Yu to speak, he said to Shi Jianlong, "Brother Long, don't worry, Brother Ling Yun spends a long time practicing food eagles every day, and food eagles are his life, and he will never give up easily." ”
"But, Erya, this time waits for no one! You see, there are only 18 minutes left, and the daylily will be cold if you wait any longer, even if he wants to carve, there will be no time! Could it be that this kid Ling Yun can conjure up a work out of thin air? Shi Jianlong was also anxious.
"I don't care, Brother Lingyun will definitely not give up anyway! He's sure to come up with a successful work! "Erya, who has always been a little afraid of Shi Jianlong, actually talked back to Shi Jianlong for the first time.
Shi Jianlong naturally didn't care about the same as Erya, just sighed, sat in his seat and bowed his head silently, obviously no longer had any hope for this third competition.
At this time, although Erya believed that Ling Yun would never give up the game for no reason, as time passed, her confidence also wavered a little.
Another third has passed.
Even Erya's face showed an anxious look, and he secretly said in his heart, Brother Lingyun, Brother Lingyun, when will you wait until you do it?
"Hey, you two look, Lingyun is starting to carve!" Just when there were 15 minutes left in the game time, Xiao Yu, who had been silent, suddenly screamed.
Er Ya and Shi Jianlong immediately perked up, and hurriedly looked into the field, sure enough, Ling Yun's eyes lit up, he took a radish in his left hand, but he didn't know when there was a knife in his right hand, only to see the silver light flickering, the knife flew up and down, and the radish crumbs were like pieces of snowflakes falling down.
His attention was very focused, he didn't pay attention to the situation of the other players around him at all, and in his eyes, there was only this radish in his hand.
