Chapter 450: Confrontation
In another room of the hotel, two large men have red ears on the front.
"Tell me, what else do you have to say now? They passed the group stage! Wang Zhaohua said.
Xun Yun's face was pale and a little ashamed, the slap in the face came too quickly.
He thought that Gao Dian would not be able to pass the group stage, but he passed.
Now that Wang Zhaohua came to him, Xun Yun's face was a little unbearable.
"What does it mean to pass just a group stage?" Xun Yun said.
"Senior Brother Xun, you actually said such a thing!" Wang Zhaohua was a little incredulous.
Xun Yun's face was embarrassed, but he didn't want to easily admit that Gao Dian was his junior brother.
There are some things that are very strange, and they can be solved by admitting it, but he doesn't admit it.
"Senior Brother Xun, I think he is good enough, if you think about being able to pass the group stage of this competition, it is not too much to say that he is in the top two hundred in the country. How old is he, and it's already good to be able to have this level.
I don't think even if Master is alive, with his strict character, he can't say anything. β
Wang Zhaohua said.
Xun Yun was a little silent when he heard this.
He didn't know that Gao Dian was already good enough.
Looking at Gao Dian, you can't just look at his cooking skills, but also look at his age.
How old is he? He has come to this point, and he still has a lot of time to improve in the future.
Even Xun Yun himself was far inferior to Gao Dian when he was young.
Is it so hard to admit that he is excellent?
Xun Yun found it difficult.
For some reason, he just didn't want to admit that Gao Dian was excellent.
Maybe it's because he was rejected by the master back then.
He didn't want to admit it, he just wanted to prove that Master's vision was wrong.
"Senior Brother Wang, you don't need to say it, I won't admit it, unless...... He became a first-class pastry chef. Xun Yun said.
Wang Zhaohua opened his mouth and looked at Xun Yun in front of him, only feeling a little strange.
In his memory, although Xun Yun was proud, he dared to admit it.
When did he learn to run away in this way?
Wang Zhaohua didn't know, but he was a little disappointed.
He sighed and said, "Senior Brother Xun, if you have to, I can't persuade anything, you can do it yourself." β
Wang Zhaohua saw that Xun Yun was not competing with Gao Dian, he was competing with himself.
In this regard, Wang Zhaohua didn't want to say anything more, everything depended on himself.
If he can come out on his own, it will be the best.
If he can't get out, then it's useless for him to persuade him.
Wang Zhaohua left Xun Yun's room, leaving him alone to sit on the bed, looking out the window and thinking deeply.
In Du Dawei's room, he watched Gao Dian pass the group stage and was very happy.
Happy for Gao Dian, and happy for Master.
"Master, have you seen that? The little junior brother has come to this point, and it may not be long before your expectations can be realized. β
Du Dawei muttered to himself.
For Gao Dian to pass the group stage, he was even happier than he passed.
Through the group stage, Gao Dian's cooking skills were proved.
But the next matchup will be a more difficult one.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the official website of the organizers, the post about Gao Dian's analysis of not being able to pass the group stage has now been topped.
What was originally a somewhat silent post has once again become the focus.
Below the post, there were a lot of comments.
These comments are not for praise, but for yin and yang weird comments.
Without him, because the post said that Gao Dian could not pass the group stage, but now that Gao Dian has passed the group stage, this slap in the face is something that everyone likes to see.
The publisher also disappeared, did not comment at all, and even the account was kept private.
originally wanted to rub off on Gao Dian's popularity, but he didn't expect the popularity to be rubbed off, but let his account fall.
The organizer's results were supposed to come out tomorrow, but netizens had great powers and got the results in advance.
Gao Dian didn't pay attention to the things on the Internet.
Regarding Gao Dian's passage through the group stage, many people were surprised.
Because Gao Dian's age is too young.
He has achieved some results before, but these results do not seem very great in front of this competition.
You know, even if you are at the top level of a pastry chef, it is very difficult to pass the group stage.
In any case, Gao Dian passed the group stage, which has become a relatively eye-catching thing in the whole game.
Of course, even if Gao Dian passed the group stage, it didn't attract too many people's attention.
They were only slightly surprised, and then they looked like they were normal.
Passing the group stage doesn't mean anything to them, it's just a group stage, and if you pass, you will pass.
The confrontation is the real difficult competition.
Many people can pass the group stage, but when it comes to the confrontation stage, they will be eliminated in the first round.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Time flew by and it was the next day.
Gao Dian got up early and came to the arena with Wei Qiaoyi.
There was no match today, but today was the start of the match.
Although they are all official competitions, it is clear that the group stage and the confrontation stage are two stages.
Now that the first stage of the competition has passed, when it comes to the second stage of the competition, there will be a confrontation arrangement.
At the same time, after the first stage of the competition, everyone's spirit is a little tired, and a day of rest also allows everyone to recover some spirits.
When I came to the arena, the number of people was more than half less than at the beginning.
72 people, sparsely la, it doesn't seem like much.
Everyone stood still.
Gao Dian found that many of the contestants were familiar to him.
Not all of them know each other, but many have seen it.
Soon, Wang Hua, the person in charge of this competition, appeared.
Now, many people know him.
I only heard him say: "First of all, congratulations to all of you on successfully passing the group stage. β
Then he took the lead in applauding, and sparse applause rang out.
"After passing the group stage, the next step is the confrontation. The so-called confrontation match is a two-by-two confrontation game, the winner advances, and the loser is eliminated! That's the rules of the match. β
Wang Hua said.
Everyone's expressions remained the same, for this rule, in fact, I heard Wang Hua say it from the beginning.
At this point, he said, but it was just a repetition.
"The competition is played by lot, and in the first round there will be numbers from 1 to 36, each number has two cards, and the two people who draw the same number will be opponents of each other.
The second round is 18 numbers, and the rules are the same as in the first round.
Of course, the 72 people are facing each other in pairs, and when they come to the back, there will be a situation where there is no opponent.
In this case, we set a bye.
That is, there will be a blank lot, as long as the blank lottery is drawn, you can directly enter the next round. β
Wang Hua said the rules of the lottery.
Gao Dian silently calculated in his heart, according to the players who eliminated half of them in each round, the bye would appear in the fourth round.
That is, when there are only nine people left.
Then there will also be a bye in the fifth round.
Then in the sixth round, there are three people left, and it stands to reason that there should also be a bye.
The smaller the number of people, the higher the chance of a bye.
Gao Dian was originally a little worried that skipping one noodle would make the ten pastries he had originally prepared one less pastry.
Now he has three byes, and he only needs one of them to make up for skipping the pastry.
Before Gao Dian was happy, Wang Hua continued: "In the fourth round and the fifth round, there is a bye respectively, and in the sixth round, it will be more special, and the three of them will compete at the same time. β
When Gao Dian heard this, he was stunned.
The sixth round is the final, so ...... There is one less bye!
was originally a little happy, but it instantly fell.
There are only two places, can I get on my wheel?
Not necessarily!
This thing looks at luck, good luck, maybe you have a bye in both rounds, and if you are unlucky, you can't get a bye.
Just as Gao Dian was in a state of worry, someone muttered, "What does this have to do with me? If there is a bye again, it is also a top ten thing, and I can get to that point, and I am still worried about what bye is not a bye. β
What this man said is also true.
A bye or something, that's also the fourth round.
And from the fourth round, it's the top 10.
To be able to enter the top ten, in fact, there are some strength to compete for the first place.
In this case, whether there is a bye or not, in fact, it does not mean much.
You can't directly have a bye to become a champion.
At most, it is a bye to enter the top three!
In fact, just by virtue of a bye, entering the top three will attract criticism.
People don't say how good you are at cooking, but how lucky you are.
People with strength don't like to be said to be lucky.
Gao Dian looked at the person who spoke, and suppressed some thoughts in his heart.
He admits that this person is right, you have to be in the top 10 to have a bye, and if you want to have a chance to get a bye, you must be in the top 10.
Now he is thinking about the bye, but it doesn't really make much sense.
He should face the game in front of him now, and as for the bye or something, let's talk about it when it comes to that point!
After figuring it out, Gao Dian didn't bother with any more byes.
After Wang Hua finished speaking, he continued: "From the third round, there will be a ranking competition. That is, the fourth round of eliminators will be ranked together. Compete for sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth places. β
When everyone heard this, they were silent.
Many people don't care in their hearts, what ranking tournament has anything to do with them?
If you want to play a ranked match, you have to be qualified!
What qualifications?
Only those who finish in the top nine are eligible.
There were 72 people present, finishing in the top nine with only one in eight chances.
The odds are slim.
Many pastry chefs are also self-aware, knowing their own level, and it is almost impossible to get into the top nine. So I don't pay attention to any ranking matches, it's useless to pay attention, and I can't do it myself.
Time passed slowly, and Wang Hua continued to talk about some details of the match.
In fact, these words are all clichΓ©s and some repetitive, but he has to emphasize.
Because I'm afraid that some people can't hear clearly, or don't remember, there will be problems during the game!
After saying this, Wang Hua said: "Let's take a good rest today, and the competition will officially start tomorrow." Everyone's spirits. Finally, I wish you all the best results. β
After finishing speaking, Wang Hua asked everyone to disperse.
Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi walked together, and after a while, the two left the arena and returned to the hotel.
Today is a break, and the two of them don't plan to go out and play.
Tomorrow is the match, you can go to play whenever you want, there is no need to go out today.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the Dianxin Building.
"Chef Yao, how is it? Did it pass? Someone asked.
Yao Jun said: "What's the hurry, I'll see." β
Then, Yao Jun stared at it with his mobile phone.
In fact, you can search on the official website for yourself, and you can see the results at once.
There is no need to wait for Yao Jun to slowly announce the results, such a speed is too slow.
But everyone likes it, it's more atmospheric.
Even though I can go and see it, the atmosphere is much worse, and it doesn't mean much
After Yao Jun read the results, he coughed lightly.
"It's passed!" Yao Jun said.
"Chef Yao, who passed? Is it Chef Wei or Mr. Gao? Someone below asked in a loud voice.
Yao Jun said: "Of course they all passed!" β
Suddenly, there was a cheer in the kitchen.
Yao Jun is used to this.
This kind of scene has been playing out for the past few days.
Anyway, every time the game passes, there will be a cheer.
However, this time the cheers were louder than before.
Beside Yao Jun, Wang Xihua said with some emotion in his tone: "I really didn't expect it!" Mr. Gao was able to pass the group stage. β
Yao Jun nodded and said, "It's really unexpected. β
According to the level of Gao Dian's performance in the past, the probability of passing the group stage is slim, after all, those who go to participate in the competition are all masters.
And Gao Dian is too young and has not accumulated enough.
Compared with those old pastry chefs, there are still some shortcomings.
Unexpectedly, he was able to pass the group stage.
Wang Xihua's tone was embarrassed and a little envious. Once upon a time, he also wanted to achieve dazzling results in the National Pastry Chef Competition, but his level was not enough, and he could not pass the selection competition even if he achieved dazzling results.
Now a young man has reached a height he has never had, which makes him sigh and sigh at the same time.
Ma Hailiang stood a little farther away, he and Yan Sen were very close.
He was in the kitchen, and he was also relatively close to Yan Sen, but he was not very close to Yao Jun.
Although the kitchen of Dianxinlou is harmonious, the relationship between everyone is also far and near.
Hearing the news that Gao Dian had passed the group stage, Ma Hailiang was so excited that he shook his fist.
"Teacher Niu B!"
Ma Hailiang said.
Yan Sen was a little dazed, he didn't have a deep feeling about the power of this game.
Although it has been popularized by many people, Yan Sen doesn't feel anything.
Because his level has not yet reached that level, he naturally cannot feel it.
For him, the second-level pastry master is better than him, and the first-level pastry master is also better than him.
He looked at Ma Hailiang so excited, and a trace of puzzlement flashed in his eyes.
Ma Hailiang didn't want to explain more to him, this kind of thing would be known after Yan Sen, and it was useless to talk about it now.
At this moment, Ma Hailiang deeply felt that he was following the right person.
With the level that Gao Dian has shown now, it is more than enough to be his teacher!
Ma Hailiang is more identified with his identity.
On the other side, Zhou Yongqing and Feng Zhigang glanced at each other, and they both saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.
Gao Dian has reached this point, and the distance between him and them is getting farther and farther.
