Chapter 474: Postponed Finals
The next day, on the day of the finals, everyone arrived at the arena early.
Lu Huiying is also in the field, although she is in the lower bracket, there is still a ranking match to be played.
She smiled and nodded to Gao Dian, motioning for him to come on.
Gao Dian was a little stunned, he didn't expect Lu Huiying to actually say come on to himself.
Among so many opponents he had won, except for Wei Qiaoyi, no one said cheer to him.
This Chef Lu is really a little strange.
Gao Dian thought to himself.
Tee is on the field, waiting for the game to begin.
The finalists this time are Gao Dian, Du Dawei and Liao Wenping.
This Liao Wenping Liao chef is also an extremely powerful pastry chef.
Liao Wenping was famous, and his master's master's master was the most powerful pastry master in China at that time.
Its status is equivalent to that of Old Man Wei.
It's just that later, their pulse declined, and there have been no too eye-catching pastry chefs, and the few who support the faΓ§ade are also decent.
Until the appearance of Liao Wenping, this vein saw the hope of regaining glory.
Liao Wenping learned to cook at the age of 18, became a first-class pastry chef at the age of 30, and became a first-class pastry chef at the age of 36.
Today, he is also a top-level pastry chef.
Du Dawei once said that Liao Wenping's cooking skills and he didn't want to go up and down, and he competed with Liao Wenping, and there was no certainty of winning.
Of course, in Gao Dian's view, this is purely Senior Brother Du's modesty.
Because the two did not play together less, but every time it ended with Du Dawei winning the game.
Liao Wenping has not won once.
This is a public competition, and no one knows whether the two have tried it in private.
However, judging from the open competition, Liao Wenping is actually no match for Du Dawei.
Of course, if Du Dawei can say something like that, Liao Wenping's level will naturally not be low.
The two stood beside Gao Dian on the left and right, which made Gao Dian not only mumble to himself.
"They're all fierce rivals! It's a pity ......"
He is indeed a pity, and it is a lucky thing to be able to compete with such two pastry chefs on the same stage.
It's a pity that he didn't accumulate enough to play against the two with the strongest attitude.
Just as Gao Dian was muttering to himself in his heart, Du Dawei looked over.
His eyes were soft, and he whispered to Gao Dian: "Don't be nervous, just play your true level." β
Gao Dian heard the words and responded softly.
Liao Wenping glanced at Gao Dian, smiled, and then looked at Du Dawei with sharp eyes.
The opponent in his eyes is only Du Dawei.
As for Gao Dian, he is powerful, but compared to Du Dawei, it is still a little worse.
The atmosphere between the three of them was not tense, but very peaceful.
"Ahem!"
Suddenly, the horn sounded in the arena.
"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Hua."
Voices came from the speakers.
The crowd couldn't help but be attracted by the sound.
Wang Hua: They all know, the person in charge of this competition.
Everyone didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking that it should be before the game, Wang Hua had to explain something.
I didn't explain the previous games, that's because it wasn't a final before, and today is the final, so it's naturally different.
"Thank you all for coming and watching today's game, and I have one thing to announce here." Wang Hua's voice continued to sound.
"In order to give the players a better and bigger stage, and to add a touch of color to this final, we decided to change the venue of the final."
Hearing this, the audience and the players were not only stunned, what does this mean?
Changing the venue for the finals?
In this situation, how to change the venue for the finals? And, why didn't you say it earlier?
I only heard the loudspeaker continue: "The venue for the finals, we are going to put it in the kitchen of the state banquet. β
State banquet kitchen?
The audience and the contestants were stunned.
The word state banquet is very powerful.
In fact, the state banquet is not only in one place, and it is not impossible to borrow it from the state banquet kitchen, and of course it does not mean that you can borrow it if you want to.
In the meantime, you need to go through some applications, and if you want to use it, it depends on when the kitchen is empty.
Generally speaking, the kitchen is rarely empty, but there is always some time when it is empty.
Through the operation of the organizer, the final can be carried out in the state banquet kitchen.
But there's a problem that not everyone can get into the state banquet kitchen.
The contestants and judges can enter with the guarantee of the organizer, but what about the audience?
For the vast majority of audiences, they may not be able to enter the place where the state banquet is located for the rest of their lives.
So how do you watch the game?
Soon, everyone thought of this question, and for a while, tears sounded in the discussion.
Wang Hua looked at the somewhat noisy arena and rubbed his eyebrows.
He had expected this yesterday.
But it couldn't be helped, it was the best he could think of.
It's just that the spectators may not be able to see the game in person.
"Don't worry, we will broadcast the whole final live to ensure that everyone is the same as watching the game live." Wang Hua said.
The voices in the audience were a little smaller, but not too small, and everyone still had a lot of dissatisfaction.
According to the original plan, they would be able to watch the final now, but suddenly it was like this, and they couldn't watch the game live.
Although the organizer said that there is a live broadcast, can the live broadcast be the same as the live broadcast?
It must be different!
How could they be satisfied.
The audience is not satisfied, and Wang Hua has no choice, there is only so much he can do.
Today's final will definitely not be able to go on.
Because the ingredients were not prepared, we could not go to the finals.
Last night, Wang Hua thought of a single word - drag!
After a period of time, the problem of ingredients will be solved.
At that time, the finals will be able to go on normally.
But you can't drag it out openly, you have to find an excuse.
It can't be said that the organizers didn't prepare the ingredients, so they had to postpone the competition, which would make the organizers a little incompetent.
So you have to find a good excuse.
What excuse can there be to drag on the game for a while?
What Wang Hua wanted was to change the playing venue.
Because it was the finals, our organizers paid more attention to it, so we decided to change to a better stage.
Is the state banquet kitchen good enough?
That's for sure!
Just the word state banquet is enough to bluff people.
With a valid reason, the postponement of the game is also a natural one.
This plan can be said to be very good, but the only thing I'm sorry for is the audience.
Fortunately, the spectators of this game did not buy tickets.
Because the cooking competition is boring, there are very few people who are really willing to buy tickets to watch, or even don't want tickets, and there are not many people who come to watch.
The organizers are too lazy to sell tickets.
It's a good thing that no tickets are sold, otherwise, it's really hard to say.
The spectators didn't buy tickets and it was a free game, so although they were very dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do.
If you buy a ticket, the situation may not be the same.
Wang Hua paused for a moment, waiting for everyone to digest the news.
Subsequently, he said: "Because the time vacated in the kitchen of the state banquet is not certain, the finals will be postponed for the time being, and the qualifying matches for the fourth and fifth places will be carried out normally." β
Gao Dian opened his mouth wide, he never thought that the final could be postponed.
Gao Dian didn't have much feeling about changing the venue or anything, but the delay in the final was a good thing for him.
The game was delayed and he had time to prepare.
I just don't know how long this final will be delayed, and if the time is too short, it won't mean much to him.
"This is the first time the final has been postponed." Du Dawei said.
He was also surprised in his heart, he had participated in so many competitions, and it was the first time that he had seen the final postponed.
"I'm afraid something went wrong, otherwise the game wouldn't have been delayed." Liao Wenping said.
Gao Dian looked at Liao Wenping, a little puzzled why he said this.
He thinks what Wang Hua said is very reasonable, the finals are a little different, it's normal.
Seeing Gao Dian's eyes, Liao Wenping explained with a smile: "Because the organizer is not the kind of procrastinating character, according to the organizer's consistent style, I can't wait for the game to be completed in one day, and it is basically impossible to delay the game or something." β
When Gao Dian heard this, he was a little stunned.
He didn't know the style of the organizers, just listening to Wang Hua's reasons, he felt that it was normal, so the postponement of the final was indeed a bit ...... Abrupt, but it sounds fine.
"You're right, there should be something wrong with this final, and it can't be solved temporarily, so the organizers will postpone the final." Du Dawei said.
Gao Dian was thoughtful.
Suddenly, Liao Wenping asked with a smile: "What do you think is wrong with the organizers?" β
Gao Dian was stunned and wondered: "Are you asking me?" β
Liao Wenping nodded and said, "It's just to ask you." β
Hearing this, Gao Dian pondered.
"I don't know."
Soon, Gao Dian shook his head and said.
There were so many things that could go wrong that he didn't know what was wrong.
"It should be the ingredients." Du Dawei said suddenly.
Liao Wenping looked at him with some surprise and asked, "Why are you so sure?" β
Du Dawei said: "I know Wang Hua, a person who is very careful in his work. There were no problems in the previous games, and it stands to reason that he will not be negligent in the final, and there should be no mistakes.
If the problem does not occur with Wang Hua, then it can only appear elsewhere. β
"Ingredients, for example?" Liao Wenping asked.
Du Dawei nodded.
"What's more, among the ingredients I reported, there is one ingredient that is rarely used in China, but it is relatively rare and difficult to preserve." Du Dawei said.
In fact, this is the main reason why he guessed the ingredients.
"In this case, it is very likely that there is a problem with the ingredients." Liao Wenping said.
A few people were talking somewhere, and they quickly analyzed the situation.
Of course, for them, analyzing what the problem is, it doesn't matter, it's just out of curiosity.
Wang Hua then said a lot of words, basically to appease the audience and players.
The effect was minimal, but for Wang Hua, he had done his best.
Finally, he said: "Now, the qualifying rounds for fourth and fifth place have officially begun. β
When Lu Huiying heard this, she smiled dumbly, and then said to the opponent not far away: "I didn't expect us to become the focus of today." β
"Isn't that good?" She smiled at her hand.
"Yes." Lu Huiying pursed her lips and smiled.
The finals of the three Gao Dian were postponed, and the three naturally couldn't stay on the field, so they mentioned the rest area one after another.
Gao Dian looked at the audience and said to the two, "I'll go up and look at it, I can't see it clearly here." β
With that, he left.
Liao Wenping was a little puzzled: "Can't you see clearly here?" I think it's the clearest place to see. β
Du Dawei smiled: "It's really not as clear as it can be seen here. β
He knew why Gao Dian wanted to go to the audience.
Coming to Wei Qiaoyi's side, Gao Dian sat down.
"It's the first time in so many years that I've heard that the finals have been postponed." Wei Qiaoyi said softly.
"Just now, Senior Brother Du and Chef Liao were talking about this, and they guessed that there should be something wrong with the organizers, and the finals had to be postponed." Gao Dian said.
When Wei Qiaoyi heard this, he was a little curious: "What is wrong?" What are your guesses? β
"Senior Brother Du should guess the ingredients." Gao Dian said, and then he told Wei Qiaoyi why Du Dawei guessed like this.
"I see, so it could be so. There was a problem with the ingredients, and the game really couldn't go on. Wei Qiaoyi said.
"Yes, Senior Brother Du said the same thing." Gao Dian said.
When Wei Qiaoyi heard this, he frowned, and then said, "Can you not call Senior Brother Du?" β
"Why?" Gao Dian was stunned.
"I'm not called Senior Brother Du, so what's my name?" Gao Dian asked.
"You can call you Chef Du or Uncle Du, but don't call Senior Brother Du anyway." Wei Qiaoyi said angrily.
"But he asked me to call him Senior Brother Du, I called him Du Chef looks rusty, isn't calling him Uncle Du a generation shorter?" Gao Dian said.
Wei Qiaoyi glanced at him and said, "Anyway, you are not allowed to call Senior Brother Du!" β
Gao Dian didn't understand a little, how good it was to call Senior Brother Du, why didn't he let himself call him Senior Brother Du?
It's, it's really, weird.
However, Wei Qiaoyi rarely looks like this, Gao Dian thought about it, and did not dwell on this topic with her, and responded vaguely.
Wei Qiaoyi sat on a chair and watched the game in the field, but if she looked closely, she could find that she was not really watching the game, but where she was in a daze.
Gao Dian didn't have the heart to watch the game, he was thinking about things.
The postponement of the game is a good thing for him.
Of course, the premise is that a delay is long enough, a delay of a day or two, and it doesn't make much sense for him.
If it's long enough, should he change the pastry?
The pastry he reported was not bad, but that he had some other ideas.
It's just that he hasn't made up his mind about whether to replace it or not.
The most important thing is, does the organizer allow the change?
When he is ready to come down, he asks the organizers, and if he can change it, he will think about it again. If you can't change it, that's the way it is.
The two sat together, but they had their own thoughts, and for a while, neither of them spoke.
Time passed slowly, and the game was over quickly.
The two got up and prepared to leave.
"I have something to do, you wait for me here." Gao Dian said.
