Chapter 154: The first scene begins (second update, ask for recommendation, ask for collection!) )
"Please be quiet, now I'm going to announce the rules of the three-school competition!" Although the scene was noisy and the people sitting next to her were unattainable bigwigs, as the editor-in-chief of "Food Weekly", she was still a person who had experienced a lot of winds and waves, so she did not have the slightest stage fright.
"The three parties will be completely separated in three lounges, and each will decide which players will play before the start of each match.
After the contestants have decided, our five judges will announce the questions, and after the questions are announced, there will be two hours to cook the dishes.
The content of the question will be randomly selected by one of our five reviewers and will be impromptu on the spot.
The first place in each match is worth two points, the second place is worth one point, and the third place is not scored.
At the end of ten matches, the team with the most points wins.
As a reminder to all of you, there is one race in the morning and one in the afternoon every day, and the whole course lasts for five days. ”
After Chiyo Mie announced the detailed rules of the competition, the audience discussed with each other again.
"This rule is very mysterious......"
"It's not just about cooking, it's about scheduling and luck?"
"You can't cheat in this random way, right?"
"That's not it, the opponent is random, the questioner is random, the theme is random, how can you cheat?"
"Two hours, why is it so long?"
"Are you stupid? The two hours included time for conceiving and cooking the food, so there was no chance to prepare the meal in advance. ”
"I see, it's so hard......"
……
Yang Cao and Dojima Silver smiled, can't cheat? Says who? Not to mention that the opponent can't confirm it, but who makes the question and what question has a lot to do, who gives you really random? Too naïve.
But this way the two still think it's very good.
This kind of competition rules test the mental endurance of the players.
Students who can be selected to participate in this level of competition should have already planned their own routes and determined their areas of specialization.
Once you give a topic that you are not good at, or even have no contact with at all, it will be troublesome.
Players who are not strong enough to bear the burden may not be able to conceive a complete meal and will be defeated without a fight.
And being too nervous may also cause all kinds of flaws in the cooking process.
In Yang Cao's eyes, the "Divine Beasts" must have passed the psychological ability, and they will not encounter a situation where they are unable to start when encountering various topics.
The cultivation and trials that the "Divine Beasts" need to go through, he is a personal participant.
The Ten Masters are not much of a problem, although they have different specializations, they also have their own understanding of other fields, and Yang Cao has also trained them on how to skillfully transform completely different types of cuisine into their own expertise.
As for the mentality, he doesn't have to worry about it, in Huaxia, the mentality of the students can be said to have been tempered by thousands of tempers, and it will definitely not be much worse than the "Divine Beasts".
So the only players in this game who are inferior are the players from the Orleans Elite Culinary Academy.
Yang Cao once went to the Orleans Elite Culinary Academy, where 90 percent of the students were biased, and the deviation was very serious, and there was no unity within the school, and the vicious competition was very serious.
"Hehe, it seems that this food meeting is going to be a big one." Dojima Silver smiled.
"Yes, I don't know about Grandma Chiyo, but if it was Grandpa Liu and Grandpa Nagiri, it might collapse directly." The corners of Yang Cao's mouth grinned.
"Xiao Cao, did you say that IGO had expected this situation a long time ago and made the rules like this?" Dojima asked suddenly.
Yang Cao was stunned when he heard this, and entered into thought.
"Most likely, it seems that Your Excellency the Three Sages are planning to kill two birds with one stone."
"Hehe, they're all old foxes."
It is true that Yang Cao's previous analysis was very reasonable, and igo planned to take advantage of this opportunity to reasonably arrange a large number of people to enter Neon.
However, they didn't intend to let go of the three-school competition in front of them, and used their power to manipulate the rules, putting the Orleans Elite Culinary Academy into an extremely unfavorable situation, and slapping them in the face in front of everyone.
Even Yang Cao thought of the third layer.
"Could it be that they already knew that Liu Saiji would have a connection with food, but deliberately ignored him?"
"What did you say?" Dojima Silver didn't hear Yang Cao's self-talk.
"I'm wondering, is Liu Zhai Qizhi also being used by His Excellency the Three Sages?"
"Huh?"
Rentang Dao Yin was stunned for a moment, and also fell into thought, he found that this possibility was very high, and deliberately let Liu Zhai Qizhi contact with the food society, and used him to extract information from the food society at the same time, and relax the vigilance of the food society.
"Hehe, when I'm old, I'll retire and live in seclusion." Dojima laughed at himself.
This group of top old guys is really heart, they are already clever enough, I didn't expect their brains to be bigger, they are ruthless, and they are deeply hidden.
"I feel the same way, I now understand why my dad always likes to play and disappears." Yang Cao smiled bitterly.
……
When the three teams were taken to their respective rests, the three sides began to discuss how to arrange their troops.
"Boss, I'll be the first one, my strength is just in the middle of the stream, and my range of expertise is relatively wide, even if I go to the bottom." Wen Xiangqian took the initiative to stand up and said.
"Forward, are you sure you can defeat Si Yingshi again?" Ling Han asked, Wen Xiangqian had been defeated by Si Yingshi, and Ling Han was a little concerned about the good start of the first game, which had a great effect on morale.
Although they are all flat and sure that they have sealed the victory, they must not be careless and prevent a rollover.
"As far as the information I have collected in the past few days is concerned, I have been in a five-to-five relationship with him, and I am not sure of winning, but if it is the division on the other side, then it doesn't matter if I lose." Wen Qianqian said.
"Hmm." Ling Han also thought that Si Yingshi was the first seat of the Ten Masters, that is, the strongest, if Wen Qianqian faced him, even if he lost, it would not be a big problem, and he would be regarded as a redemption.
"What about the Orleans Elite Culinary Academy?" Ling Han asked again.
"I don't know, it's going to be a long way to know."
"Okay, forward, the first game will be handed over to you." Ling Han's decision to shoot the case arrived.
"Leave it to me."
……
On the other side, in the rest room of the far moon, he also analyzed who the opponent would send.
"Si, who do you think the Royal Culinary Academy will send?" Nagi asked.
"It should be Wen Xiangqian." Si Yingshi replied without hesitation.
"Reason."
"First, the teacher said that he is a "hedgehog", ranked sixth, so it should be him who will play the front station. Second, he is the one who knows us best. So there is a good chance that he will be on the first one. Si Yingshi explained.
"Well, are you sure about him now?"
"Let's open five-five."
"According to the cunning character of those guys at the Orleans Elite Culinary Academy, the first game should be Adams, who is in tenth place? Jellett, good at seafood cooking, Erina, you go, now you have a chance of winning the above, try to get a good start and come back. Nagi thistle decided.
He is also very optimistic about morale, among the current ten masters, only Si Yingshi, Kobayashi Gentian and Nagi Erina are sure to defeat Wen Xiangqian.
Si Yingshi wanted to stay to deal with Ling Han on the other side, no matter how good the odds were, he had to arrange it like this.
Kobayashi Gentian is not as calm as Erina Nagikiri, and the first game is an important opportunity to gather intelligence, so Erina Nagikiri is the best candidate.
"Yes, father, I'm going to prepare."
……
All three parties decided on the participants for the first match, and the three walked out of their respective aisles.
"Now the three contestants have been confirmed, namely Bunzena from the Royal Culinary Academy, Erina Nagikiri from Tozuki Chazuki, and Adams from the Orleans Elite Culinary Academy? Jellett Player!
Please wait for the judges to come forward. ”
The three of them walked in front of the five judges, all in different states, Wen Qianqian was very flat, Erina Nagikiri's face was a little dignified, and Adams? Jerlett was in a bad state, she was already sweating, and her breathing was disordered.
"Damn it! How are they all grandcooks! Am I really the one who sacrificed me? Damn, damn it, damn it! Now I can't hold my head up when I go back! "Addams? Jellett cursed frantically in her heart.
Although he knew from the beginning that his first appearance was to be an outcast, he didn't expect Yuanyue to suddenly send a special chef to appear, although the other party was also the tenth seat, but it was actually ranked in the top three.
They know the information that Erina Nagikiri, Si Yingshi, and Kobayashi Gentian have passed the special chef assessment.
"Erina-san, did you give you this dress from Senior Yang?" Wen Xiangqian didn't care about Adams at all? Jerlett's state, but asked Erina Nagi with a gentle face.
"Well, all three of us have it, Brother Yang Cao said, whoever of us has passed the special chef assessment will give us one." Erina Nagi replied as she pulled her black-bottomed chef's suit.
"Well, that's suitable."
"Thank you, Chief Writer."
While the two were chatting, the candidate for the first game was also selected on the big screen at the venue, which was Chiyo's mother-in-law.
"Hehe, igo is really doing a trickle, the first game is for the neutral side, and no one is partial......" The corner of his mouth twitched when he looked at the results on the big screen.
"Chiyo-ma-ma, please ask the question." Chiyo Mie said.
Granny Chiyo nodded, then drew casually on the scroll in front of her and handed it to Mie Chiyo.
Chiyo Mie opened it directly and looked at it, stunned.
"Chiyo-ma, are you sure?" Chiyo Mie quickly adjusted her condition and reconfirmed.
"I'm sure."
"Okay, let's announce the theme of the first game!" As soon as the words fell, Chiyo Mie showed the scroll in her hand on the spot.
"Huh? What is it? Everyone was stunned, including Bun Xiangqian, Erina Nagikiri, and Adams? Jerlett three participants.
"One...... Round? ”
"It's supposed to be eggs, right?"
"Why isn't it the number zero, or the o of the English letter?"
……
"Chiyo-ma-ma, could you please explain?" Chiyo Mie was also a little depressed, and immediately asked.
But Chiyo's mother-in-law's answer was a big surprise.
"The three of you understand for yourselves, and whatever comes to mind is what you want."
