The fourth round is over.

Qiu Weijun and Lan Yuan have both been promoted, and so far, the four people who have been promoted are Gao Dian, Wei Qiaoyi, Qiu Weijun and Lan Yuan.

In the fourth round, one Huaguo contestant was eliminated.

The fourth round was completed in the morning, and in the afternoon, it was time to group again.

After the fourth round of elimination, there are only 15 contestants left, and these 15 will be divided into three groups of five people each.

There were some more changes to the rules for the fifth round, with three groups, each of which the top two teams advanced.

In other words, more people will be eliminated this time, and out of the fifteen, only six will be able to advance, and the remaining nine will be eliminated.

In this round, most of the players from the participating countries have been eliminated, and the rest of the national players who can be in this arena are the strongest of the strong.

Compared with the previous ones, this round of elimination is even harsher.

Wei Qiaoyi was in the first group, Gao Dian was assigned to the third group, Qiu Weijun was in the second group, and Lan Yuan was in the same group as Gao Dian.

Gao Dian unexpectedly discovered that he still had an acquaintance in his group!

David Norton is also in the same group as Gao Dian.

When Gao Dian looked at David Norton, he saw that David Norton also nodded towards Gao Dian.

After the grouping was over, everyone went back to their respective groups.

Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi traveled together, and the two went back to the same place.

Lan Yuan's eyes were incomprehensible, looking at the backs of the two leaving, and after a while, Qiu Weijun patted Lan Yuan's shoulder from behind.

"Don't look at it." Qiu Weijun said.

Lan Yuan retracted his gaze a little flustered, and said in a defensive manner: "What are you looking at?" Who watched it? ”

Qiu Weijun smiled and said, "You are in your thirties, you are not married yet, and you haven't found a girlfriend yet." You know what is going on in your heart better than I do. ”

Lan Yuan's face turned slightly red and said, "What do I think?" I didn't think about anything! I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense. ”

Finding that his tone was a little rushed, Lan Yuan paused and said, "Lao Qiu, do you care if I have a girlfriend?" ”

Qiu Weijun smiled: "I'm not your father, I definitely can't control you so much, you and I are friends, and I saw that you were trapped by love, so I came to persuade you." ”

"Where am I trapped by love, I just don't want to find a girlfriend, I feel more comfortable alone." Lan Yuan said.

"You just have a hard mouth, anyway, you know in your heart that after so many years, no response is the best response." Qiu Weijun patted Lan Yuan on the shoulder, and then left.

Lan Yuan pursed his lips and stood still without moving.

After Qiu Weijun was gone, he muttered, "Is that so?" Sister. ”

"Gao Jun." Akihisa Nagashima stopped the way of the two and said with a smile.

Gao Dian was puzzled: "Mr. Nagashima, what are you doing when you suddenly come to me?" ”

Nagashima Akihisa smiled: "It's just a pity that I couldn't be assigned to a group with Gao Jun this time." The last time I was in a group with Gao Jun, I was forced to do my best to compete with Gao Jun for some reasons, which was a pity. I thought I would be able to resolve this regret soon, but I didn't expect that I would never meet Gao Jun again. ”

Gao Dian was puzzled: "Why are you so obsessed with me? ”

Nagashima Akihisa smiled: "Gao Jun is worthy of my persistence. ”

Nagashima Akihisa didn't explain anything, which made Gao Dian even more puzzled.

Then Akihisa Nagashima bowed deeply to Wei Qiaoyi and said, "I'm sorry! Excuse me. ”

No matter how Gao Dian looks at it, he feels that Nagashima Akihisa's attitude towards Wei Qiaoyi is very respectful.

He glanced at Wei Qiaoyi suspiciously.

"Don't bother if it's okay, as long as you keep getting promoted, you will always meet." Wei Qiaoyi said with a cold face.

Her tone was very unkind, but Akihisa Nagashima was not angry, but bowed again, "I understand, I'm sorry." ”

After saying that, Akihisa Nagashima left.

Gao Dian looked a little puzzled, and he said, "Is this Nagashima Akihisa a Gu bewitched?" How do you feel retarded? What's the point of him running over and provoking me like this? ”

Wei Qiaoyi pondered and said: "He's not mentally retarded, he did this, I probably know why." ”

"Why?" Gao Dian looked at Wei Qiaoyi, and always felt that there was something in this that he didn't know.

He and Akihisa Nagashima had never met before this, and they didn't even know each other's existence. Combined with Nagashima Akihisa's respectful attitude towards Wei Qiaoyi, Gao Dian felt that Nagashima Akihisa was so persistent in competing with him in the same group, which must have something to do with Wei Qiaoyi.

"When you actually meet him, let's talk slowly, and now let's focus on the next round first." Wei Qiaoyi said.

"Yes, then I won't ask more." Gao Dian said.

Wei Qiaoyi was reluctant to explain, and Gao Dian chose not to ask, which was a basic respect for her.

In the hotel, Lou Xiangpeng felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, they had talked and laughed before, but in the past two days, the atmosphere was a little silent.

"I said, Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you? I've been sullen since I came back from the field. Lou Xiangpeng asked.

"Is it that obvious?" Zhou Yongqing asked.

Lou Xiangpeng nodded, "Obviously." ”

"Actually, it's not that I'm unhappy, I'm just thinking about something." Zhou Yongqing said.

"Thinking about things? What's the matter? Lou Xiangpeng asked.

Zhou Yongqing was silent for a while, and said: "Xiang Peng, when you saw Gao Dian's game, don't you have any thoughts in your heart?" ”

Lou Xiangpeng was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "What can I think of seeing Brother Dian's game?" Brother Dian is awesome? ”

Zhou Yongqing rolled his eyes and said, "You really make people have nothing to say." ”

"So what's not? What else can you think? Lou Xiangpeng said.

"Don't you think that Gao Dian is already so powerful, you may not be able to catch up with him in this life, don't you feel lost?" Zhou Yongqing asked.

Lou Xiangpeng understood, and said: "It turns out that you are because of this, I said that you all look sullen." ”

"Don't you think so?" Zhou Yongqing asked.

"Why should I think that? Gao Dian is better than me, isn't it a matter of course? Even if he's better than me now, what does it matter? Lou Xiangpeng shrugged his shoulders and said.

Zhou Yongqing was choked by Lou Xiangpeng's words, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while.

After being silent for a long time, Zhou Yongqing said: "You are not a little unwilling? ”

Lou Xiangpeng said: "You guys, you just think too much, or you don't have the right mentality. ”

was told by Lou Xiangpeng about his mentality, Zhou Yongqing wanted to complain for a while, all along, they felt that Lou Xiangpeng's mentality was not good, but now Lou Xiangpeng said that their mentality was not good.

"Tell me, why haven't we put our mentality right?" Zhou Yongqing asked.

Lou Xiangpeng said: "You have always been the top group of your generation, and almost no one of your peers can surpass you too much.

Now, suddenly a demon of the same generation appears, far surpassing you, making you feel hopeless to catch up, so you start to get depressed and start doubting yourself.

But, Brother Zhou, you have to understand, there are always people in this world who are better than us, why should you doubt yourself because of the excellence of others? ”

Zhou Yongqing was silent and did not speak.

Everyone has the psychology of comparison, where can I not compare?

Lou Xiangpeng glanced at Zhou Yongqing, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Zhou, it's not me who said, your mentality is really bad." Brother Dian is too good, and you feel self-doubt about it, which is really unnecessary.

Either you just like Li Dongyang, catch up, no matter how good Brother Dian is, you have the confidence to catch up. Either you just follow me, admit in your heart that Brother Dian is better than you, and don't compare with him. ”

"Although I don't like Li Dongyang very much, I have to admit that his mentality is better than all of you." Lou Xiangpeng finally whispered.

When Zhou Yongqing heard these words, he fell into complete silence.

The two paths that Lou Xiangpeng said are not so easy to do.

Like Li Dongyang, he has always been full of confidence, which sounds simple, but it is quite difficult to do. They were also full of self-confidence before, but the result? was hit by Gao Dian to doubt himself.

It's not easy to be like Lou Xiangpeng.

Everyone is born with the feeling that they are the protagonists, and that they are the best ones. Other places are not comparable, but in the industry that they are good at, they are always full of comparison psychology.

Admitting from the heart that others are better than you sounds simple, but how difficult is it to do?

Lou Xiangpeng saw that Zhou Yongqing was no longer talking, so he didn't continue to say anything.

He has already said everything he should say, whether he can figure it out or not depends on Zhou Yongqing himself.

If you have a knot in your heart because of this, and you have been doubting yourself, I am afraid that the road ahead will be short.

Lou Xiangpeng still hopes that Zhou Yongqing can figure it out and not doubt himself because of the excellence of others.

The fifth round begins.

Since there are only three groups in this round, the competition can be completed in half a day.

Wei Qiaoyi played first, advanced without exception, and won the first place in the group.

At present, she has played five rounds, and each round is the first in the group to advance, and Wei Qiaoyi is the only one who can maintain this result.

Such results have made her more popular on the Internet.

Qiu Weijun competed in the second group, and he advanced with the first place in the group.

Qiu Weijun's strength is also obvious to everyone, and the level is extremely high.

All that's left is the third group of matches.

on the field.

Gao Dian and Lan Yuan were next to each other, and Lan Yuan said: "I really didn't expect to stand on the same field with you so soon, originally according to my thoughts, this scene should be more than ten years later." ”

"I didn't expect that either." Gao Dian replied.

Lan Yuan smiled and said, "I think at the beginning, you were still an apprentice, learning to knead dough in the kitchen of the Appreciation Building, and I was about to become a first-class pastry chef at that time. It's only been a long time before you've caught up with or even surpassed me. ”

"Brother Lan, now that the game is coming, let's go down and talk about it again." Gao Dian persuaded softly.

Speaking of these at this time, it is easy to affect the state of the game, and Gao Dian does not want Lan Yuan to make mistakes because of this.

I saw Lan Yuan shaking his head and saying, "It's okay, I probably won't be able to pass this round of competition." ”

"Brother Lan, you have to believe in yourself." Gao Dian said.

Lan Yuan smiled and said, "I just believe in myself, so I know that this round probably won't pass." In fact, it was beyond my expectations to be able to come this far. ”

Gao Dian opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word.

"Gao Dian, I didn't suddenly feel emotional. When I say this, I actually have a request. Lan Yuan said.

"Brother Lan, you just say something." Gao Dian said.

Lan Yuan said: "Can you do more in this competition?" ”

Gao Dian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Brother Lan, why?" ”

"I'd like to taste it." Lan Yuan said.

Gao Dian can make an extra portion, he has prepared excess ingredients, what he is afraid of is that if there is a mistake, he can also have ingredients to save the scene in time.

"Okay, Brother Lan, I'll make one more." Gao Dian agreed, and it was not difficult for him to do more.

"Thank you, the game is about to start, you can concentrate on adjusting your state first." Lan Yuan said with a smile.

Gao Dian nodded.

After a while, the competition officially began.

Gao Dian began to make soup, and this time he did not use mutton as a soup base, but made soup with pork bones.

Pork bone broth is a commonly used stock in Chinese cooking, and many noodles are based on pork bone broth supplemented with various seasonings.

In Shen Shengsheng's recipe, the pork bone broth is made with spicy knife-cut noodles, as opposed to the salty and umami knife-cut noodles of mutton soup.

The judges ate salty and umami knife-cut noodles before, and this time they ate some spicy ones, and the impact of the taste was different.

There is a reason why Gao Dian chose these two types of knife cutting surfaces.

Now that the weather is still relatively cold, the mutton soup warms the stomach and the spicy taste is more pungent. Both are more suitable for winter.

Off the stage, in the audience, everyone quietly watched the five chefs do their best.

The soup base boils slowly, and you can't be in a hurry, and the soup base must be boiled for a long time to have a rich and rich taste.

It's not in a hurry.

He started behind, and the flour slowly formed into a dough in his hands, which was just right for making knife-cut noodles.

During the time of waiting for fermentation, Gao Dian was not idle.

He began to prepare the sauce, which was different from the knife-cut noodles of mutton, and the knife-cut noodles of this pork bone soup base needed to prepare some sauce.

The pork is minced, various seasonings such as soy sauce and salt are added, and it is slowly boiled in a pot, which is very similar to the method of mixed sauce.

However, it is a little different from the mixed sauce method.

This is on Shen Shengsheng's recipe, which is estimated to be improved by borrowing from the practice of miscellaneous sauce.

In addition, Gao Dian also had to prepare chili oil.

After all this was ready, the dough was also fermented, and Takanori began to peel the dough.

With his movements, the noodles became a thread again in the air and fell into the boiling water.

Gao Dian's move once again attracted cheers.

The audience found that even if they saw it for the second time, they still felt shocked.

The noodles with uniform thickness fall into the pot accurately, and none of them fly out, which must be tempered to achieve this.

Among the noodles, some chefs have completed the preparation of the pastry, and some chefs have completed the rating.

If it weren't for Gao Dian waiting for the soup base to boil for a little longer, he would have finished it by now.

When the noodles were cooked, he quickly scooped them up and put them in a bowl.

Add the soup base, add some spicy oil, mixed sauce, and finally sprinkle with a little chopped green onion.
