Chapter 244: Four Wheels
At lunchtime, Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi sat together.
The organizer here includes lunch, of course, it is not too good, it is a general box lunch.
It's also funny to say that a group of first-class pastry chefs actually have to eat a boxed lunch.
However, there is no way to do this, because the organizers can only provide such lunches.
As for letting these first-class pastry chefs make their own, it is not possible, because the organizer has to ensure the state of each stove, ensure that it can be used, and there will be no problems during the competition.
Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi sat together, in fact, they were sitting in the rest area, and the two were originally sitting together.
While eating, Gao Dian said: "This competition is too hanging, and I was almost eliminated. ”
When he said this, Gao Dian still had palpitations.
"It's really hanging enough, and the fifth place in the group will advance." Wei Qiaoyi said with a smile.
"But you're also amazing, Lily Crisp has advanced to three rounds, and the next round should have to be changed." Xu Rufeng joined the two in chatting.
"I really have to change it, if I don't change it, I'm not waiting to be eliminated." Gao Dian said.
"So, you're going to do the next round of knife noodles?" Xu Rufeng asked.
"Probably so." Gao Dian responded.
He actually has a choice now, but making knife noodles is the best choice.
During this time, his mind was basically on the lily cake, and he was a little negligent about knife cutting noodles.
This knife cut noodles, the more Gao Dian studied, the more unfathomable he felt, so far, Gao Dian has not touched the limit of this recipe.
There is a limit to the recipe of a dish, and this limit has to do with the person who created the recipe.
For example, Gao Dian is now writing a recipe, which is the improved lily cake, so that later people will learn it at most to his current level.
Because he writes at the current level, the limit of the recipe is here.
Has anyone pushed the limits?
Of course there are, and there are quite a few.
If you want to break the limits of a recipe, you must first thoroughly understand the recipe and then add your own ideas.
It's similar to Gaodian's improved formula.
In fact, he can be regarded as breaking the limit of the original lily crisp recipe.
However, this recipe of knife-cut noodles, Gao Dianzhi has not been able to reach the limit so far, let alone break the limit.
"The rules will change in the next round, so you have to pay attention." Qiu Weijun said at this time.
At the beginning of the next round, the number of people in a group will change, from the original ten to five.
Of course, there are still five groups.
In a five-man group, the top three will advance.
In terms of the proportion of promotions, it has increased. From the previous 50 percent promotion rate to the current 60 percent promotion rate, although the promotion rate has increased, the difficulty has not decreased, but has increased.
However, it is also a matter of course.
"Lao Qiu, why did you suddenly talk about this? By the way, you haven't played yet, have you? Xu Rufeng said.
"It only started in the afternoon." Qiu Weijun said.
"Then you have to come on, you're the third of us, and if you get eliminated, it'll be a joke." Xu Rufeng said jokingly.
The relationship between the two is good, and such jokes are also made.
Hearing this third person's statement, the corners of Qiu Weijun's mouth couldn't help twitching.
He was supposed to be the first person, but there was a Wei Qiaoyi many years ago, who squeezed him from the first to the second, and now another Gao Dian has appeared, squeezing him out of the third from the second.
Every time he thought of this, he was a little helpless.
"Don't worry, I'll make the cut." Qiu Weijun said.
"That's good." Xu Rufeng said with a smile.
"By the way, Lan Yuan, are you sure about the afternoon game? There are too few of us who have made the cut this time. Xu Rufeng turned to Lan Yuan again and asked.
"It should be possible, if nothing else." Lan Yuan said.
"If nothing happens, it's going to be an accident?" Xu Rufeng raised his eyebrows.
"Get out! You crow's mouth! Lan Yuan scolded with a smile.
In the morning, three of their remaining eight players had already been eliminated, and if one or two more were eliminated, it would be too many.
…………
At this time.
On the Internet, after Gao Dian was promoted in the third round, the scolding of Gao Dian disappeared.
Speaking of Gaodian, it is basically praise.
At the same time, some marketing accounts did not rely on scolding Gao Dian to get traffic, but began to praise Gao Dian, praised him high, and used this way to get traffic.
It looks a little ridiculous, the people who scolded Gao Dian and praised Gao Dian were actually the same people!
In the midst of the praise, there are others.
"Gao Dian will also have a kind of lily cake, so he is also worthy of participating in the competition?"
"The fifth promotion in this round, it is estimated that the next round will be eliminated directly!"
There aren't many voices like this, but they are still there.
Some people may not be accustomed to Gao Dian, or some people may want to use unconventional views to gain the attention of others.
It is impossible for one person to be liked by everyone.
Whether it is the previous national abuse, or the current national praise, Gao Dian undoubtedly has traffic.
In this era where traffic is king, with attention and popularity, you have the potential to make money.
There are already entertainment companies that are ready to move, wanting to pull Gao Dian, a self-contained traffic celebrity, into their own companies.
is even more popular than Gao Dian, it is Wei Qiaoyi.
On the Internet, Wei Qiaoyi is called "Pastry Fairy", "Pastry Goddess", and "Pastry Shih".
Wei Qiaoyi didn't like any of these titles, and felt that it was overwhelming.
If she could, she would prefer to be called "Pastry Master!" ”
Wei Qiaoyi's popularity seems sudden, but it is actually inevitable.
Wei Qiaoyi is beautiful, much more beautiful than more beauties who wear makeup and add filters.
At the same time, she is not pretentious, and when making pastries, she has a feeling of looking down on all her opponents.
These Wei Qiaoyi's own traits have undoubtedly become a clear stream in this era when everyone is a little tired of pretending to be a gesture.
Therefore, Wei Qiaoyi became angry, and the fire was very sudden.
Wei Qiaoyi has also participated in many competitions before, but none of them became popular on the Internet, and that's because ...... The times before were different.
The competitions she participated in before are generally unknown to outsiders.
Wei Qiaoyi didn't have the slightest feeling about becoming popular on the Internet.
She never thought about becoming an Internet celebrity herself.
It's true that being an internet celebrity is quite profitable, but so what? She's not short of money!
Rather than writhing in front of the camera every day and pretending to be posturing, Wei Qiaoyi prefers to face all kinds of ingredients and enjoy the process of turning them into food.
…………
In the afternoon game, Qiu Weijun and Lan Yuan successfully advanced.
Qiu Weijun advanced with the first place in the group, while Lan Yuan advanced with the third place in the group.
Of course, there is nothing to be proud of, the position in the group stage does not mean anything, and being able to qualify is the key.
The ranking only makes sense to those who lose, because those who make the cut don't care about the current ranking.
In the fourth round, there were only twenty-five people, and these twenty-five people were all left behind after the big waves and sand.
Today's game is over, it's too late, and the grouping is left until tomorrow night.
After they had said goodbye, they went back to their respective places.
There is no one less of the players in Huaguo, all of them are there, even if they are eliminated, they have not left.
After all, no one from other countries has left, so they naturally can't lose their momentum.
Back to where you stayed.
Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi chatted about changing ingredients.
"Qiaoyi, I want to change some ingredients." Gao Dian said.
Wei Qiaoyi asked, "The ingredients for the knife-cut noodles?" ”
Gao Dian nodded and responded.
Wei Qiaoyi was silent for a while and asked, "Then do you know which are the right ingredients?" ”
Before, Gao Dian's mind was all on the lily cake, and when he was looking for ingredients, he was not seen looking for ingredients for knife-cut noodles.
Gao Dian said, "I know. ”
Hearing this, Wei Qiaoyi nodded, and didn't ask anything more.
Changing ingredients is very simple, Wei Qiaoyi can do it with a phone call.
The ingredients handed in by Gao Dian are no longer the ingredients for making lily cakes, but the ingredients for making knife-cut noodles.
The cost of this ingredient is much higher than that of lily crisp.
The main thing is that it is expensive to make the soup.
Ingredients suitable for knife-cut noodles, Gao Dian doesn't need to look for them at all, because the recipes are all written.
This is also what Gao Dian later understood, and it turned out that the most suitable ingredients had already been written out on the recipe.
Gao Dian, who got the recipe at the beginning, didn't care about the words "best" after the description of the ingredients. He felt that it was the same ingredient anyway, so why should he use the specified ingredients.
When looking for the right ingredients for the lily crisp, Gao Dian suddenly understood that these were not written in vain, but to tell the people who learned the recipe that this is the most suitable ingredient!
It is worth mentioning.
When Gao Dian learned this recipe, he learned it according to his own understanding, that is, there are subtle differences between the knife-cut noodles he made and the original author.
It's the same as reading a book, there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers.
Although Gao Dian learned according to his own understanding, he did not go beyond the boundaries of this recipe, that is, Gao Dian is also applicable to the appropriate ingredients in the recipe.
"By the way, the ingredients you bought this time are a little too miscellaneous, right? I remember when you made knife-cut noodles, you didn't use such complicated ingredients! Wei Qiaoyi asked.
Gao Dian took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Some of these ingredients are handed in, and some of them are kept for practice. ”
Hearing this, Wei Qiaoyi suddenly said: "No wonder! Suddenly, she remembered something, "However, you have a competition tomorrow, and you don't have any ingredients now, what kind of practice do you practice?" ”
Gao Dian smiled: "It's only grouped tomorrow, what if I don't play until the day after tomorrow?" Isn't there time? ”
Wei Qiaoyi said: "In case you compete tomorrow, will you be blind to these ingredients soon?" ”
"Not really, after all, there is more than one game." Gao Dian said with a smile.
"You're pretty confident." Wei Qiaoyi looked at Gao Dian Dao.
"Isn't that what you taught?" Gao Dian said with a smile.
…………
Following.
Half a day in the morning is group time, and at this time, there are not many spectators.
The live broadcast room is open, but it's not popular.
Twenty-five people, divided into five groups of five people.
This is much less work than before, and the grouping is very fast.
On the big screen, grouping information quickly appears.
Gao Dian silently looked at the big screen.
The contestants in their country have been eliminated from ten to five now.
Among the participating countries, it is the largest number of remaining.
Many countries have been eliminated.
Most of the rest are one or two, a little more than three, and Huaguo is the most, five people.
In this grouping, Gao Dian found that Wei Qiaoyi was in the first group, and the same group as her was Xu Rufeng.
Gao Dian was in the second group, and he was in the same group as Lan Yuan.
As for Qiu Weijun, he was assigned to the fifth group.
At the end of the group, there is still a little time, which is the time for the players to rest.
The schedule is a bit tight, like the group is divided in the morning, and the competition starts immediately after the afternoon.
There's no way around it, because you can't play a game for a month.
So, if you can end it as soon as possible, end it as soon as possible.
At noon, everyone had a simple dinner.
It wasn't really going out for dinner, it was Hu Dekun who ordered some takeout and simply had a meal at the competition venue.
The ten contestants who participated in the competition were all there, and everyone ate and drank, and did not drink, only a few drinks.
The five people in Gaodian were promoted, and the five people who were eliminated also looked at them with complicated faces.
There is envy and loneliness in his eyes.
"You guys have to work hard, and try to get one to five rounds." Zhu Jiangming said.
He was the first to be eliminated, and his heart was the most complicated at the moment. He only advanced to one round and was eliminated in the second round.
Xu Rufeng said: "You look up to us too much from one to five. ”
"I know it's hard, but I'm working hard!" Zhu Jiangming said.
"Okay, then I'll try." Xu Rufeng said.
"Let's work together!" Qiu Weijun raised his glass and said.
Everyone touched a cup with different expressions.
"Gao Jun, you really made the cut." Akihisa Nagashima came over at this time and said.
Gao Dian frowned slightly, before Nagashima Akihisa was called "Mr. Gao", and now he is called "Gao Jun", but he doesn't remember that he is very familiar with Nagashima Akihisa.
"Mr. Nagashima, don't you know what you're doing here?" Gao Dian asked.
Akihisa Nagashima shook his head and said, "It's okay!" I'm here to congratulate you, Gao Jun, but unfortunately I wasn't in a group with Gao Jun, and I'm looking forward to meeting you again. At that time, I will do my best to compete with Gao Jun. ”
After finishing speaking, Akihisa Nagashima said, "Excuse me! ”
And he left here.
Gao Dian narrowed his eyes and asked Wei Qiaoyi, "Why did this Nagashima Akihisa suddenly come over and say these provocative words?" ”
Gao Dian felt that Wei Qiaoyi might know Nagashima Akihisa, but he was not familiar with Nagashima Akihisa at all.
The corners of Wei Qiaoyi's mouth twitched slightly, "This matter...... Let's talk about it later. ”
Gao Dian felt that there might be some story in this.
Of course, Wei Qiaoyi didn't say it now, and Gao Dian didn't ask too much.
The arrival of Akihisa Nagashima was just an episode, and everyone continued to eat.
At the end of the dinner, the five people who had been promoted also began to recuperate and wait for the afternoon game.
Wei Qiaoyi suddenly said: "Your luck doesn't seem to be too good, it's not tomorrow's game." ”
Gao Dian knew that Wei Qiaoyi was talking about yesterday, and returned: "My luck in the game has never been too good, I'm used to it." ”
