Chapter 42: Reaching the Finals

The elimination rate of the knife competition is nearly half, and those who are eliminated can go home directly, or they can stay and continue to watch the game, but the room fee needs to be paid by themselves, and eating in the restaurant is no longer free.

The remaining students who have been promoted will continue to divide the examination room and participate in the next day's heat showdown.

Yunlu smiled when she saw the content of the game.

Coincidentally, some time ago, she just learned how to make a fire in special training.

However, the elimination rate of this game is nearly 90%, and the students who pass this game will directly enter the finals.

The fire duel is not a simple fire, but according to the recipe issued by the teacher, several temperature-sensitive ingredients are put into the pot one by one and boiled into soup.

This is more of a test.

Different ingredients, whether they are in a pot under cold water, or hot water, or fried first and then cooked, or marinated first and then cooked, are all particular.

Although this competition is a test of heat, this is a spiritual food competition after all, and there will still be a score for the taste of the final product.

The competition is so difficult, no wonder, passing this exam can directly enter the finals.

Fortunately, the ingredients needed in the recipes are all common in textbooks, even if the contestants have not been exposed to the real thing, they will not be at a loss.

Soon, Yunlu gathered the ingredients on the recipe and put them on the board, cut what should be cut, and what should be oiled, and prepared for more than half an hour, and finally processed the ingredients.

Then light the fire, boil water, cold the meat in the pot, boil over high heat, then turn to medium heat to add ingredients, continue to simmer, then turn to low heat to add vegetables and vegetables, and finally when you want to get out of the pot, add green onions to decorate, and rely on water vapor to blanch it.

This process took more than eight hours, from morning to afternoon, and when they were hungry, they would eat some rice balls and milk casually, and then continue to stare at the stove.

This is no longer a simple competition for cooking skills, but also a competition for the body, and those with a weak physique can't bear it.

However, in order to be a spiritual eater, one must have a strong body.

This pot of soup takes eight hours, which is considered a short time, and I heard that high-level spiritual food, it takes even longer to cook it, as short as two or three days, as many as ten days and half a month, or even one or two months.

Approaching 5 p.m., the students finished their works one after another, serving the soup in bowls, and the rich aroma permeated the entire floor, making people have an appetite when they smelled it from afar.

At this moment, the students sitting on the viewing platform are tormented in their hearts.

Stimulated by the scent, everyone was so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. But now they want to watch the final soup tasting, so they can't leave the restaurant for a full meal.

It's hard, they're just too hard.

In the sound of a group of students' saliva, the teachers finished their mouths with water, walked to the soup one by one, looked at it first, smelled it again, tasted it again, and finally wrote down their ratings and comments.

The process is a bit long, but fortunately the soup is resistant to stewing, and the final product is kept warm over low heat, so that it can always be kept in the best condition.

Soon, it was Yunlu's turn.

After tasting her soup, the teachers left a "very good" sentence, patted her on the shoulder with their hands, and moved on to the next one.

There weren't too many comments, no too many words, but Yunlu knew that her results were stable.

When I thought that she could enter the finals, the smile on the corner of my mouth couldn't be suppressed.

On the way back, her whole person exuded a happy atmosphere, which made the classmates who greeted her on the road inexplicably better.

In stark contrast to her, it was Yu Xiaobei who came to the restaurant one step later.

Yun Lu, who was about to starve to death, came to the restaurant one step ahead of her, handed her a small bowl of seafood porridge, and said inarticulate while drinking noodles with hula: "What's wrong with you, eat something quickly." ”

She stuffed a mouthful of noodles in her mouth, chewed and swallowed, drank another half bowl of soup, exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath and said, "I'm going to be hungry this day...... Why don't you eat it? ”

"I haven't won the game, I can't eat ......", Yu Xiaobei looked depressed, stirred the seafood porridge with a spoon, and unconsciously drank a bowl, her eyes lit up: "Another bowl!" ”

When Yunlu saw it, she laughed: "I'll just say, where is there something that can't be cured by food, if there is, then have two bowls!" ”

"Come, you try this fried meatball, it's delicious", Yun Lu handed over a snack at hand, and saw that she was eating and squinted happily, before saying: "It doesn't matter if you haven't passed the game, it's the right thing to eat well." ”

"Mmmmmmmmmm

Just as they were eating, they were waiting for a duel match, and the results were ranked.

Unsurprisingly, Yu Xiaobei fell off the list. However, unexpectedly, Yunlu actually won the first place.

The second place is Qiong Yang, and the third place is Yang Mo...... Luo Tian is fifth.

The others, Yun Lu didn't know.

Unexpectedly, she actually won the first place, and even more unexpectedly, Qiongyang won the second place.

In the last knife competition, Qiong Yang didn't squeeze into the top ten, and sure enough, he was serious.

won the first place in the first competition, and Yunlu was in a particularly good mood.

What made her even happier was that Gu's father and Gu's mother tacitly called her a sum of money, adding up to more than 900,000 yuan, which was her reward for winning the first place.

"Let's go, Xiaobei, sister, please eat!" Yunlu, who suddenly became rich, patted her chest magnificently, and pulled Yu Xiaobei to continue ordering.

Oh, by the way, Yu Xiaobei is now eliminated from the competition, and it costs money to eat in a restaurant.

After realizing it, Yu Xiaobei, who had just thought of this stubble, bit the meatball in her mouth, and suddenly felt that it was not fragrant.

……

In the end, Yunlu didn't invite guests, it was the teacher who came to help all the students who failed to pay the money.

This time, they went out to participate in the competition, and they still had surplus from the activity fund, and they couldn't do more, but it was enough to help the students pay for a meal.

It's just that after this dinner, the eliminated students will take the school bus and transfer to other nearby hotels.

There is no other reason, but the housing fee here is too expensive for the school to afford.

Fortunately, it costs nothing to watch the game, and the next day, at the finals site, someone went over early in the morning to occupy a seat, and even a full stomach was prepared.

Yu Xiaobei was no exception, but she was a little busy, and she had to help Ruan Lingyu cheer up, and she wanted to come to cheer Yunlu on, so she didn't occupy a seat and stood at the back of the audience to facilitate her to run on both sides.

In the Spirit Food Competition, there are only 20 people in the finals.

Entering the scene, to everyone's surprise, this time the spiritual food review teacher actually had Professor Ding Jiashan.

is the mythical Professor Ding, who has appeared on TV and major electronic screens all year round.

Hearing this news, all the contestants and spectators were boiling.

Everyone looked at this "airborne" comment teacher, and their mood couldn't calm down for a long time.

Luo Tian also regretted a little, before going out this morning, she should have painted a light makeup.

Yunlu didn't feel much in comparison, she only glanced at it, and then withdrew her gaze.

Walking to the empty competition table, twenty fully functional stoves, lined up in four rows and five columns, she stood in the center of the first row, Qiong Yang and Yang Mo on the left and right.

Behind the stove, there are hundreds of food cabinets and more than a dozen large pools of water, which contain almost all kinds of ingredients.

There are even a few golden cabinets with fifth- and sixth-order ingredients locked in safes.
