Chapter 237: Try
This time, it was in the gymnasium.
Of course, unlike ordinary sports competitions, cooking competitions require more things, so the gymnasium has been changed.
The heating was turned on inside and the temperature was higher than outside.
"After that, we're going to play here, huh?" Gao Dian asked.
Wei Qiaoyi shook his head and said, "No, here is the place where the chefs of the red case compete, and we are in another place." ”
"Where?" Gao Dian was puzzled.
"It's not very far, the place is similar to here." Wei Qiaoyi said.
"Oh."
The competition venues for the Red Case Chef and the White Case Chef are different, and the competitions between the two are separated.
It's the same in the same competition, in different events.
The opening ceremony was a bit boring, at least in Gao Dian's opinion.
It's a speech, and after the speech, they go in a circle, and then the show is performed.
When watching others compete, Gao Dian felt that the opening ceremony was quite interesting, but when he was competing, his mind was not on the opening ceremony at all.
After all the progress, it was time for the grouping session.
Sometimes the game needs to rely on a little luck, if the group score is good, then the game can be easily won, if the score is not good, the group is strong, then it is not easy to win.
The grouping is carried out on the big screen, anyway, the red case chef and the white case chef are grouped separately, and even the numbers are separated.
Ten people in each group, and those in the same group, will be clearly displayed on the big screen.
Gao Dian was assigned to the seventh group of the white case chefs, and he was the only one who was Chinese, and there were nine others, all from different countries.
In fact, this is true for every group.
In a group, there is only one player from one country, and there will not be two players from the same country in a group.
Gao Dian suspected that this was done deliberately by the organizers, otherwise it would not be possible for every group to be like this, without any exceptions.
He was right, this is indeed what the organizers deliberately did.
The intention is to avoid players from the same country from being eliminated in the first round.
In terms of grouping, it is random, for example, in the first round of 20 groups, everyone is immediately assigned to one of them.
After the grouping is over, there is no big deal.
At the end of the opening ceremony, everyone went back to their places.
When Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi were leaving, a staff member stopped them and said: "Two, the ingredients for your game have not been handed over yet, please hurry up, otherwise, it will affect the game of the two." ”
Gao Dian was puzzled: "Do the ingredients used in the competition need to be handed over to the organizer in advance?" ”
The staff nodded and said, "Yes, you need to pay it in advance, and this is also for everyone's good, to prevent someone from using additives or some illegal things." ”
Gao Dian understood.
Some food additives are compliant, but some are not.
They are not industrial production, than the cooking skills, not than who put more additives.
It's also for the sake of fairness, after all, some additives can enhance the taste of the dish for nothing. It is also not good for the human body.
"Okay, when is the latest to submit the ingredients?" Gao Dian asked.
"At the latest, tonight, if you two can't submit it tonight, then tomorrow morning before the game starts." The staff said.
Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi glanced at each other, nodded and said, "No problem, we will pay it on time." ”
"Okay, I'll leave you two alone." Said the staff.
After the staff left, Gao Dian was a little worried: "Can you send the ingredients over tomorrow?" ”
Wei Qiaoyi said with a smile: "Actually, the ingredients have already arrived, and we can get them when we go back." ”
Gao Dian's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Really? That's great! ”
"Let's go, let's go back quickly." Gao Dian said.
…………
After the opening ceremony, netizens continued to discuss.
Most of the topics revolve around Gaodian.
It's not that other people don't have any topics, but the game hasn't started yet, and Gao Dian has the highest topicality.
Of course, it's not particularly good.
Most of the topics are scolding Gao Dian, scolding him for not being able to do anything, and scolding him for going through the back door.
After analyzing it, someone said: "I think Gao Dian should have strength, if he doesn't have any strength at all, it is impossible to let him play." This is an international competition, and if you don't have the strength to go up, isn't it a shame? The organizers shouldn't be so stupid. ”
Comments below:
"The organizers are so stupid!"
"It's a shame for him to go up."
"Still strength, what strength can a third-level pastry chef have?"
"Not necessarily, after all, he was also a champion before, maybe he really has some strength."
"I think that championship is also fake, how can a third-level pastry chef win the championship? He really has the strength, why is he still a third-level pastry chef? ”
……
In addition to Gao Dian, the most popular may be Wei Qiaoyi.
Among so many contestants, not to mention the handsome ones, Wei Qiaoyi is the youngest and most beautiful among women.
Although Wei Qiaoyi's footage was only a few seconds, it harvested a large number of fans.
Most of the comments on Wei Qiaoyi on the Internet are positive, and they are not like Gao Dian.
Gao Dian was scolded, not because of his age, but because of his level as a pastry chef.
Among all first-level pastry chefs, a third-level pastry chef is extremely eye-catching.
In foreign countries, there are different names for pastry chefs, some are called pastry chefs, and the grades are not one, two, or three, but high, medium and low.
But the meaning is the same.
There is no pastry chef who participates in the competition who is inferior to a senior pastry chef.
…………
"Damn! These people really don't have brains! They think that the level of the pastry chef is greater than anything else? A first-level pastry chef must be better than a third-level pastry chef? It didn't matter how I explained it, I took it all. ”
Lou Xiangpeng complained.
"Normally, a first-level pastry chef is indeed better than a third-level pastry chef. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we probably wouldn't have believed that a third-level pastry chef could be better than a first-level pastry chef. Zhou Yongqing said.
"But these people really don't know how to think, if it's really bad, can they get on the stage?" Wang Zhong said helplessly.
"Netizens don't understand that Gao Dian has the strength of a first-class pastry chef, but he has not yet taken the first-level pastry chef exam. Strictly speaking, Gao Dian is actually a first-class pastry chef. Feng Zhigang said.
"Anyway, I think these people are really stupid, they follow what people say, and they don't think about themselves at all." Lou Xiangpeng pouted and said.
"That's right, just get used to it." Zhou Yongqing said.
"Alas~ We have nothing to do, we can only rely on Gao Dian himself, if he can prove his strength, the situation will be reversed." Feng Zhigang said.
"What kind of strength?" Wang Zhong asked.
"At least...... You have to go through three rounds too! Feng Zhigang said.
"Three rounds! The top 25 in the three rounds, which of these contestants is the easyest? Lou Xiangpeng said with wide eyes.
This is an international competition, and there are ten white case chefs in one country, and each one is the elite of the best in a country.
Although the cooking skills are not too high due to age restrictions, the problem is that this is not too bad.
In the pastry chef's competition, there are a total of 200 people, which means that Gao Dian has to finish in the top 25 out of 200 chefs.
How difficult is that?
Feng Zhigang is right, only by passing the first three rounds can you really prove yourself. If you only pass one round, I am afraid it will be difficult to reverse this situation.
After all, some people will say that passing a round is just luck. ”
Zhou Yongqing said.
Lou Xiangpeng and Wang Zhong looked at each other, "This is too difficult." ”
"There's no way, now everyone thinks that Gao Dian is going through the back door and going up to lose face, if he wants to reverse this kind of public opinion, he must come up with irrefutable results." Feng Zhigang said.
"Li Dongyang, what do you think?" Lou Xiangpeng asked Li Dongyang, who had not spoken.
"The first twenty-five is just that, simple." Li Dongyang said in a flat tone.
Four: ???
"How can it be so simple? That's the first twenty-five, twenty-five out of two hundred, how can it be simple? Lou Xiangpeng was surprised.
Li Dongyang glanced at Lou Xiangpeng and said, "It's difficult for you, but for Gao Dian, it's simple." ”
"Huh~ Where did you get your confidence? I thought I was Brother Dian's first blow, but I didn't expect you to be! Lou Xiangpeng said with some emotion.
"I'm not blowing, but I believe in Gao Dian. Forget it, you won't understand it if I told you. Li Dongyang said.
"Why don't I understand? Li Dongyang, you make it clear to me! Lou Xiangpeng glared at Li Dongyang angrily.
Li Dongyang turned his head away and didn't look at him.
This made Lou Xiangpeng very angry, and he couldn't wait to punch Li Dongyang's stinky face.
Zhou Yongqing clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, don't discuss this, let's rest early today, and we have to watch the game tomorrow." ”
There will be no match tomorrow, but they have bought tickets for the first one.
Lou Xiangpeng was silent for a while, and then asked, "I said, we won't tell Brother Dian here, is it really okay?" ”
Zhou Yongqing said: "Tell him what to do? Now that he's going to play, don't distract him, really have to tell him, and wait until the game is over. ”
Lou Xiangpeng suddenly said: "It's also ha." ”
"Alright, let's go to bed early." Feng Zhigang got up and said.
A few of them had discussed coming over before, and they had invited Zhang Lan, but Zhang Lan couldn't come because of something, so the five of them came over.
They only arrived today and went to see the opening ceremony before returning to the hotel.
The five of them lived in three rooms and went back to sleep.
…………
Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi moved the ingredients back, and they wasted a lot of energy.
The ingredients here are not only Gao Dian's, but also Wei Qiaoyi's.
Of course, Gao Dian has to use more ingredients, and Wei Qiaoyi only needs one.
She was very confident, and she prepared one without any preparation, and she was confident that she would be able to pass the first round with just one ingredient.
Gao Dian is different, he is not as confident as Wei Qiaoyi, for insurance, he prepared an extra one.
Of these ingredients, two were for him to take out for the competition, and a few for practice.
Last night, Gao Dian accidentally improved the recipe of lily crisp, but at that time the ingredients ran out, and he didn't practice again after improving it.
Although he recorded it in time, whether he could actually achieve that effect, Gao Dian himself did not know.
So he has to practice, and in the process of practicing, he has to try to fine-tune it.
The formula is different, and other links also need to make some slight adjustments in order to make the best use of the formula.
It's a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, and Takano doesn't know if he'll be able to complete it before the day after tomorrow, but he still wants to try.
Wei Qiaoyi changed out of her chef's uniform and put on her pajamas.
"Let's rest early today, and I'm going to watch the game tomorrow." Wei Qiaoyi said.
As with the previous matches, the first round was also the longest due to the large number of participants.
Twenty groups, each with an average of two hours of competition time, and only five sets of competitions a day.
But in fact, all kinds of fragmented time add up, and a group is simply more than two hours.
Gao Dian is in the seventh group, while Wei Qiaoyi is in the twelfth group, and neither of them will compete tomorrow.
Tomorrow is a match for groups one to five.
But the two have to be there tomorrow.
Because tomorrow there is a pastry chef competition from the same Huaguo, the two are there to cheer for their teammates.
They're on a team, so they're all going to have to come back tomorrow.
When they compete, other people will come and cheer them on.
"I know, you go to sleep first, I want to practice again, after all, I'm not very proficient yet." Gao Dian said.
Wei Qiaoyi pondered for a while and said, "Okay, you practice less and rest early." Although there is no game for us tomorrow, it is estimated that it will also appear in the live broadcast, so it can't be listless and affect the image. ”
Gao Dian nodded, "I know, no, don't worry." ”
This does not affect the individual, but the severity of the high code.
Wei Qiaoyi nodded, didn't say anything more, and went back to the room.
Gao Dian changed his clothes and put on the old chef's uniform, as for the new one, he will wear it when he officially competes, and now it will be troublesome if it gets dirty.
He took out his notebook and slowly remembered in his mind what he had done yesterday.
After reminiscing, he began to try his hand at making.
First time making, failure!
Gao Dian tasted it, but it was not as delicious as the original one.
He was not discouraged, and the first defeat was expected.
After all, it was made yesterday, and it was really a mistake, and today is the first time that I have officially tried to improve the production of the formula.
It's normal to fail.
He began to look for questions based on the evaluation in his eyes, which was where Takanori excelled.
Others may need to investigate and find problems little by little, but Gao Dian doesn't need to.
He has cheats.
After finding the problem, he began to recall what he had done yesterday.
Then start trying again.
The second time I barely succeeded, and I made that taste, but it was still a little short.
Gao Dian continued to look for problems and continue to solve problems.
The third, fourth, and fifth time, it was already late.
Gao Dian really did it for the fifth time, but Gao Dian was still not very satisfied, he felt that he could do better.
But he can't make it again today, so he has to rest early and try again tomorrow night.
After tidying up the kitchen, Takanori went to sleep.
