Chapter 526: Falling into the Well

'Smack~~' The two hands volleyed each other once, and the bet took effect.

There was an uproar.

Unexpectedly, before the game started, the smell of gunpowder was so strong, which was really unexpected by everyone.

The two of them gambled on their own business and their careers, and they put a lot of money on them, and they immediately whipped everyone's appetite and couldn't wait to see who would win the final victory.

And those media reporters are even more excited, at first they stopped the contestants at the gate for an interview, but were blocked by the organizing committee, I thought that there was no good material in this competition, but I didn't expect to meet two popular players here.

Some anxious online media reporters have rushed back to their seats, ready to quickly code up the press release, and send it back on the spot.

Just when the reporters thought that the matter was over and were about to disperse, they heard Master Mo from the 'Sunshine Hotel' cough and spoke slowly, "Zhang Xiaoyu, I also want to come and gamble with you, I don't know if you dare to take it?" ”

The reporters suddenly stopped, and they all gathered again, wanting to hear what problems this Master Mo was going to give Zhang Xiaoyu.

Xiao Yu was also stunned in his heart, and said secretly, why did this old guy come to join in the fun?

His face pretended to be indifferent, "Oh? It turns out that Master Mo is also interested in gambling, but what are your bets? Why don't you tell us about it? ”

Master Mo snorted coldly, "My bet is the same as that of Chef Jin of 'Xilinmen', if I win the championship, your small restaurant will close for me, and if you win the championship, I will also go and do chores for you!" Do you dare to gamble with me? ”

Everyone was stunned, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, this Zhang Xiaoyu is really unlucky, although their team performed well in the semi-finals and directly entered the finals, but they became the target of public criticism.

Among the reporters present, many of them are old fritters who have been doing food columns for more than ten years, and naturally know the origin of Jinlong and Mo Donghai.

Jin Long is a senior apprentice of Hong Kong celebrity chef Tam Weiqiang, and Tam Weiqiang's status in the Cantonese cuisine industry is no less than Lu Qiming's status in the Sichuan cuisine industry, and he is also a representative figure at the big boss level.

Mo Donghai is a family heirloom of Zhejiang cuisine, his great-grandfather once served as the Qing Dynasty emperor's imperial dining room, at that time, the 'blister' is equivalent to the current chef, can be said to be the top chef in the country at that time.

Although Jin Long and Mo Donghai are not as famous as the 'chef god' Xie Guoming in Shanghai, they are also a few top chefs, and the two of them have been immersed in the culinary industry for decades, with rich experience and strong strength, and there is no doubt that they have the strength to win the championship in the absence of Xie Guoming.

And Zhang Xiaoyu, the registration materials show that he is just a student of the summer class of 'Jiangnan Chun' Culinary School, not even a formal student, and the reason why their team can directly enter the finals is just to win with basic skills in the semi-finals, which is not convincing.

Jin Long and Mo Donghai showed amazing strength in the 20-10 competition, they won the first and second places respectively with their superhuman cooking skills, and even the 'all-round chef' who has always been smooth sailing had to bow down.

If Zhang Xiaoyu accepted Mo Donghai's bet, then as long as either Jin Long and Mo Donghai won the championship, he would lose.

One side has a 20% chance, the other side is 10%, one side is two famous chefs who have been famous for many years, and the other side is a fledgling hairy guy, this gap is really too big, right?

Everyone present has already decided in their hearts that Zhang Xiaoyu will definitely not accept this kind of unfair gambling contract, and he will quarrel with this Master Mo and scold him for taking advantage of others' danger and falling into the well.

However, to everyone's surprise, Xiao Yu smiled slightly, and said to Mo Donghai, "Master Mo, since your interest is so high, how can I be embarrassed to disappoint your interest?" I bet! ”

Seeing that Xiao Yu agreed so happily, Mo Donghai was also a little unexpected, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, Shaoqing, gave Xiao Yu a thumbs up and said, "Okay!" Guts! is worthy of Xie Guoming's apprentice! Today, I, Mo Donghai, want to see how many catties and taels you have, a disciple of the 'God of Cooking'! ”

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and said secretly, "When did you become the apprentice of the 'Kitchen God'?" Shi Jianlong is the real brand, right? ”

However, at this moment, there was no time to argue, and the two also high-fived and swore an oath, making a bet.

Those media reporters who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic applauded, and even the players of the other participating teams who were watching on the sidelines also coaxed, only Shi Jianguo, Erya, and Ling Yun were sad, and secretly complained in their hearts.

To be honest, they really don't have confidence in Xiao Yu winning the championship, in their opinion, although Xiao Yu's cooking skills are good, there must still be a big gap compared with these two masters who have been immersed in the culinary industry for many years.

The three of them are all chefs in the 'Qi Xian Ju', in case Jin Long or Mo Donghai win the championship, and the 'Qi Xian Ju' will be closed at that time, won't the three of them lose their jobs?

However, everyone is bullied to the top, and they really can't swallow this breath if they don't fight, 'Qi Xianju' is Xiaoyu's, so naturally he has the final say, and the three of them only hope that the other players will play well and take the championship, don't let Jinlong or Mo Donghai win the championship.

At the urging of the team leader, the contestants walked to the hall again.

In the middle of the extremely spacious hall is the competition field enclosed with exquisite ceremonial red ropes, and there are ten stainless steel operating tables in it, which are shiny and shiny, and the light is very recognizable, which seems to be much more advanced than the operating tables of the 'Jiang Nanchun' cooking school.

On the periphery of the competition venue, there are rows of VIP seats, which have already been filled with well-known figures in Shanghai's catering industry invited by the organizing committee, as well as some gourmets with some status in Shanghai.

Shanghai TV set up two cameras on the sidelines, and compared with the previous two games, today's scene was unprecedentedly grand.

The arrival of the contestants caused a lot of commotion in the VIP seats, and many people looked at them curiously, pointing and whispering.

Xiao Yu saw Shen Mengqi sitting in the first row on the west side of the VIP seat at a glance, and was waving her white and tender little hands to greet her with a smile, thinking that her seat was too far away from the door, and she didn't notice the little turmoil that happened just now, otherwise, with her personality, she would definitely come over to see the excitement.

raised his hand and greeted Shen Mengqi, and Xiao Yu took Shi Jianlong and the three of them to stand still in front of the No. 8 operation table according to the staff's arrangement, quietly waiting for the start of the game.

The emcee of this game is still the TV food program hosts Xiao Ke and Qiao Qiao, the two of them can be said to be dressed up to attend today, quite a pair of presiding over the Spring Festival Gala.

There was a small temporary hosting platform in front of the competition venue, and after seeing the participating teams in place, Xiao Ke and Qiao Qiao boarded the hosting platform and began to host on the spot.

"Hello to the audience in front of the TV, all the guests and contestants present! After more than a month of competition, we finally ushered in the finals of the 'National Culinary Elite Shanghai Division', and the champion of this competition will represent our Shanghai Division to Beijing to participate in the national finals! Some of you are already familiar with the information about the 10 teams that made it to the finals, but here we would like to introduce them to you again! ”

"The team standing in front of the No. 1 console is the team of the 'Xilinmen Hotel', and their chef Jin Long Jin is a senior disciple of the master of Cantonese cuisine, Tan Weiqiang!"

"The team standing in front of the No. 2 console is the team of the 'Sunshine Hotel'......"

With the introduction of Xiao Ke and Qiao Qiao, there were bursts of exclamations and applause from time to time in the VIP seats.

Xiao Yu didn't care about the situation on the stage, he knew that his background would definitely not arouse the interest of the audience, and his eyes searched around, wanting to see if there were Cao Hong and the three of them in the VIP seat.

It is a pity that after a round of inspection, nothing was found, it seems that 80% of Ren Hongchang's information is correct, and the organizing committee really changed three judges.

What is this for? Xiao Yu was puzzled.

After the two hosts introduced the participating teams, Xiao Ke smiled at the audience with some mystery, "Ladies and gentlemen, as the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, our Chinese nation's food culture has a long history, and classic delicacies emerge in endlessly, in order to make this competition more exciting, more watchable and fair, the organizing committee of the competition specially invited five mysterious judges, who are now sitting in the curtain behind me, and they will score the participating teams today!" ”

As soon as Xiao Ke's words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and those who didn't know that the participating teams and the VIPs in the VIP seat had exchanged their heads with each other, and their curiosity was aroused, and they all guessed who the five judges sitting behind the curtain were, and they were able to replace Master Lu and the three in the final.

At this time, Qiao Qiao asked what everyone was thinking, "Xiao Ke, can you tell us about the origin of these five mysterious judges?" Could it be that they are even more powerful than Master Lu? ”

"Hehe, no, no, no, in terms of cooking skills, they are definitely not as good as Master Lu, and in terms of identifying food, they are not as good as gourmets, but they have their own unique kung fu, their origins are kept secret for the time being, anyway, they won't let you down."

Xiao Ke's words made everyone even more confused, these five people are neither well-known chefs nor gourmets, who are they?

Xiao Yu glanced at the black curtain behind the host stage, this curtain covers an area of about fifteen or six square meters, blocking the space inside tightly, without the slightest gap, and the situation inside cannot be seen from the outside.

His heart couldn't help but move, and a golden filament of divine consciousness shot out from the center of his eyebrows, and quickly dived in the direction of the black curtain.
