"Huh~~"

On the judges' seat, Master Lu, who had been expressionless, suddenly sighed, his face showed a look of surprise, and after his eyes turned around Ling Yun, he immediately nodded slightly, and a smile rippled between the corners of his mouth.

"Master Lu, what's wrong with you?" Cao Hong, who was sitting next to Lu Qiming, asked curiously, in her impression, this Master Lu had always been unsmiling, and this time he actually showed such a surprised expression, which was really unexpected to her.

Lu Qiming and Cao Hong can be regarded as New Year's friends, seeing her ask, he turned his head to her and said, "Xiao Cao, look at the contestant of 'Qi Xianju', obviously comprehend the artistic conception of food carving - 'no self', the realm of no self, looking at things with things, so I don't know what is for me and what is for things, this son will become a great tool in the future!" ”

Although Cao Hong is a famous gourmet, but after listening to Master Lu's words, he was also a little foggy, but he was also happy to see Master Lu's evaluation of the contestants of 'Qi Xianju' so highly, after all, he was also Xiao Yu's teacher, Xiao Yu was the head chef of the 'Qi Xianju' group, and his assistant was affirmed by Master Lu, and his face was also bright.

Looking at her watch, there were still five minutes left before the eagle competition ended, and she wanted to see how powerful this 'selfless' artistic conception was.

At this time, Ling Yun had long forgotten his existence, he was flying like a knife, carving on the radish in his hand at an alarming speed, his expression was so focused, I am afraid that even a muffled thunder sounded in his ears, and he could not wake up from the passion of creation.

Under his knife, a hen gradually took shape, the hen spread her wings and looked up at the sky, as if to protect something, and on closer inspection, three chicks were closely following the mother.

As Lingyun's knife continued to fall, the hen's demeanor became more and more vivid, obviously, its natural enemy eagle may be hovering in the air, but it still bravely spread its wings to protect its child.

Whether it is a hen or three chicks, this work is carved vividly, even the hen because of fear, the feathers in the neck are clearly recognizable, and what is more valuable is that the artistic conception revealed in this work is a strong maternal love.

Ling Yun finished the work one minute before the end of the competition.

Looking at the food carving work in front of him, he sighed with satisfaction, his family is a professional chicken farmer, he has been dealing with chickens since he was a child, to use an inappropriate analogy, Ling Yun knows more about chickens than people, so when he learned that the proposition is 'maternal love', he naturally wants to find a breakthrough from the chicken.

After filtering out the useless pictures, suddenly, the picture of the hen protecting the chicks that he saw when he was a child crossed his mind, and Ling Yun immediately grabbed the inspiration, and then completed this work in one go.

To Ling Yun's surprise, after completing the work, he felt like he had been empowered, his mind became extraordinarily clear, his whole body was comfortable, and even the pores of his body were transmitting excited messages to him, and a strong sense of self-confidence arose spontaneously from his chest, Ling Yun felt that at this moment, his understanding of food carving had never been so profound.

"This ...... What's going on here? Even Ling Yun himself was a little confused.

Xiao Yu looked at Ling Yun in the field with satisfaction, he knew that he had succeeded, Ling Yun had obviously comprehended his artistic conception, and from now on, he would become the youngest genius in the eagle world.

A minute later, the third event ended.

The judges began to check each contestant's work one by one, and this time the chief judge was Master Lu.

"This time's proposition is 'mother's love', why are you carving a 'dragon and phoenix Chengxiang'?" Master Lu asked, pointing to a contestant's work.

"Master, look, this dragon is a little smaller, it's the son of that phoenix, and his father went out to forage for food, so let's let Phoenix take care of the little dragon......" The player's head was full of white sweat, and he obviously couldn't make it up.

"Hmph, nonsense! Eliminate! ”

Master Lu waved his hand, and the player had to leave the arena in a gloomy manner.

"You! What is this open-screen peacock? Master Lu pointed to another chubby player.

"Master, it's like this, you see, this peacock's lower abdomen is slightly bulging, obviously it's pregnant, so well, hehe......"

"! The peacocks that can open the screen are all male, can your father's peacock get pregnant? Nothing short of nonsense! Eliminate! ”

The fat player was stupid all of a sudden, and he didn't expect that only the male peacock could open the screen, and it seems that he failed the 'zoology' exam in middle school, which is not unreasonable!

Obviously, due to the tight time, these contestants have selected their own works and carved them, but they did not consider whether their works are relevant.

After four or five players were eliminated in a row, the atmosphere in the arena suddenly became tense.

The next turn is the head chef of the 'Xilinmen' Hotel, Jin Long, who is about 40 years old, he has studied under Hong Kong celebrity chef Tam Wai-keung for 20 years, and is very famous in the Chinese Cantonese cuisine industry, and has won the championship of cooking competitions many times.

His work is a chickadee feeding his child, his food carving skills are very exquisite, the little in the nest open small mouth to be fed, the mother in the mouth of the insect are clearly visible.

Master Lu glanced at Jin Long, nodded and said, "Qualified!" Pass! ”

The contestants all sighed for a long time, and finally someone passed, and they all looked at the golden dragon with envy and secretly raised their thumbs.

Jin Long didn't have the slightest pride on his face, he just bowed slightly to Master Lu, and then returned to the contestants' seat, and the other three players in the 'Xilinmen' team applauded in unison to congratulate their chefs and welcome him back, and their team was also the first team to enter the top 20.

With the passage of time, the situation gradually became clearer, and the number of teams entering the top 20 gradually increased, among which the 'Sunshine Hotel', 'Xilin Hotel' and the Liulang Han combination all passed the test easily.

The work carved out by the 'all-round chef' this time is a young woman breastfeeding a baby, although it looks a little rough, but it will not be eliminated and can pass the test smoothly, but its work this time is obviously hopeless in the top three.

Seeing that there are less than ten players left, and there are still three places to be eliminated, many people are nervous in their hearts, for fear that they will become one of the three elimination candidates.

Master Lu came to Ling Yun's table, looked at Ling Yun's work, and looked at it for a long time without speaking.

Ling Yun's heart sank suddenly, and he said secretly, "Could it be that you are going to be eliminated?" ”

But I heard Master Lu speak, "This work is the best work so far in terms of artistic conception and carving techniques, young man, work hard!" I'm optimistic about you! 'Immortal Residence' passed! ”

As soon as Master Lu's words fell, the audience exclaimed, in his previous comments, where did he have such words of praise? And he showed his appreciation for Ling Yun so straightforwardly, together with Cao Hong and Liu Zichang, who were judges, couldn't help but cast a surprised look at Master Lu, is this still the calm and serious Master Lu?

The two of them carefully examined Ling Yun's work again, and then secretly sighed in their hearts that Master Lu's vision is unique, this work can really be said to be a rare masterpiece.

Especially in the whole work, through the body language of the hen, the kind of artistic conception that would rather sacrifice oneself and preserve the child is really touching, so that everyone who sees this work has to sigh in their hearts, "Great maternal love!" ”

In a short time, the three judges browsed all the works, and the top three winners of the third competition were also released.

Ling Yun of 'Qi Xianju' won the first place, Jin Long of the 'Xilinmen' Hotel won the second place, and the third place was won by Xiang Feng, the head chef of the Liulang Han group.

There are joys and sorrows, after the end of this game, 10 more participating teams left the players' seats, so that the remaining 20 groups of participating teams are the final top 20.

The host Xiao Ke held the microphone, faced the camera lens, and excitedly announced, "Hello to the audience in front of the TV! After three intense competitions in the morning, the top 20 in the Shanghai division of the National Culinary Elite Competition were finally born, I believe that everyone has experienced the style of the participating teams in the competition, and after a short break at noon, 10 participating teams will be eliminated among them to produce the final top 10 of this competition. Do you want to know who will be the champion of the Shanghai division of this competition? Please tune in on time! ”

After Xiao Ke finished speaking, he turned around, glanced at the players present, and said with a mysterious look on his face, "Ladies and gentlemen, Qiao Qiao once told you before that if the participating teams here can break into the top three in the three competitions, they will get great benefits in the 20-in-10 competition, what is this benefit?" Now I'll find out! ”

The players who were a little absent-minded suddenly cheered up, although they all knew that only one team was 'Qi Xianju' who had entered the top three in the three competitions, but they also wanted to hear what this benefit was and whether it would affect their game this afternoon.

Xiao Yu and the others looked at Xiao Ke even more intently, for fear of missing a word.

Xiao Ke saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, smiled with satisfaction, and continued, "This benefit is to directly enter the top ten of this competition!" The 'Qi Xianju' team has won a second place and two first places in three competitions, and they have become one of the top 10 teams in this competition, congratulations to them! ”

"Wow! That's great! Shi Jianlong, Er Ya, and Ling Yun jumped up from their seats happily, this surprise was really unexpected.

This victory is of great significance to them, because in the previous three competitions, Xiao Yu, who was the head chef, did not participate in the competition, and was able to directly enter the top 10, which was completely the result of the efforts of the three of them.

In the envious eyes of the other teams, Xiao Yu couldn't hold back his excitement and stood up and hugged his teammates one by one.

Looking at the three teammates, Xiao Yu said excitedly, "Shi Jianlong! Erya! Lingyun! Thank you for making the 'Immortal Residence' a solid step forward in the morning game, come! Let's work together to win this competition! ”

"Good! Champion! Immortal Ju will win! ”
