Chapter 146: Breaking the Rules
As Zhang Peng first made some simple opening speeches, and then made a brief introduction to the rules of the game, the competition venue is six rows, each row has six small tables, and there are various cooking utensils and simple condiments on the tables. These thirty-six platforms are the number of players in the first wave of competition. In the preliminary round, each contestant has only one hour at most to choose a specialty dish and cook it, and those who finish it first can send the finished dish to the judges' table in advance for the judges to taste, while another contestant makes up for the re-timing. If it is not completed within one hour, it will be treated as a waiver. When all the contestants have completed their works, the jury selects the sixteen contestants who will enter the semi-finals. Although there is plenty of time, just imagine, if a person has eaten hundreds of dishes in front of him, then no matter how delicious you make, it may not be reflected, so although it is not explicitly said, speed is still very important, and this point is also the problem of grouping that Xu Ruan Ruan said before, if you are assigned to a lower position, it is bound to wait a long time before it is your turn, then the judges may have no appetite to try your dishes again.
After talking about the rules of the competition, Zhang Peng introduced eight judges from all over the world, but for the judges of the preliminary competition, everyone didn't take it too seriously. After all the introductions, with the start of Zhang Peng's competition, the thirty-six chefs on the stage immediately entered a state of nervous and busy.
At the same time, the rice ball side also began to make zuò. In order to make the judges' seats 300 meters away notice him, the rice ball was selected and selected, and a mapo tofu was chosen. Although Hachi and the others didn't understand why Fantuan would choose such a simple and home-cooked dish, everyone still had confidence in Fangiri, and they only looked at how Fangiri was going to be cooked.
The reason why Fantuan chose mapo tofu is because she needs to rely on the fragrance to attract the judges' table and more diners. Barbecued meat also has a strong aroma, but seeing that there are so many diners around it, where can they be served, I chose mapo tofu. Soon, the first pot of mapo tofu came out, and the moment the rice ball was opened first, the aroma was everywhere, instantly attracting the attention of the people around. Especially the diners who have been waiting there for a long time and don't know how long they have swallowed their saliva, they have grabbed one of you and one of me.
The first diner who ate mapo tofu just stuffed a mouthful of tofu into his mouth and immediately screamed: "Hot... Hot...!" His cry immediately attracted the ridicule of the surrounding crowd, but it was followed by one after another "so hot" sounds. Hachi frowned and patted the rice balls, and whispered in her ear, "What's the matter... I won't burn them. ”
Onigiri whispered, "Don't worry, no problem." ”
As soon as his words fell, someone shouted: "It's really hot, but it's delicious, it's so enjoyable." Some people were surprised and said: "When I got it, it wasn't hot to the touch, but it was still so hot in my mouth, so amazing, it's really hot!"
Soon, waves of admiration attracted more people's attention, especially Xiaohachi also said that the whole game was free, which made many viewers have no intention of watching the game and want to come to Fantuan to find out. Plus a few nurseries that Hachi had arranged in advance to blend in with the crowd. Soon there was a sense of dominance in the area, with few people watching the game, and most people waiting in line to find out about the mysterious delicacy.
The change in the rice ball was soon discovered by the judges, and several judges exchanged their heads and ears, and then ordered a person who was waiting on the side to secretly come to the rice ball to see what was going on. Xiaoba, who had been observing the movement there, found out as soon as possible, and secretly took a copy from the rice ball, and at the same time secretly stuffed it into the arms of the person who came along with the leaflet and a silver ticket of one hundred taels. This person took the mapo tofu made by the rice balls back, and at the same time added oil and vinegar in front of the judges, so that the mapo tofu made by the rice balls became the first dish the judges tasted.
It was a young woman who took a small spoon and stuffed a piece of tofu with soup into her mouth, and the moment she entered her mouth, she felt as if a volcano had erupted, full of power and heat. Let her moan unconsciously, and after moaning, she realized that she had lost her temper and handed the tofu to the other judges with some embarrassment. This time, it also aroused the interest of the other judges, and everyone tried the mapo tofu of the rice ball, and after they ate it, they all showed incredible expressions. After a few people exchanged heads, they sent the person who collected the little eight coins, and secretly came to Zhang Peng, who was presiding over the game, and whispered a few words, Zhang Peng nodded after hearing this, and then walked back on the high platform, and said loudly: "Audience, now, I want to announce one thing." Before announcing it, please allow me to sell a little pass, I think many of you here have heard about the kitchen god girl, right?"
Hearing Zhang Peng's words, many people shouted in agreement: "Yes, the dishes she makes are amazing." Many others chimed in: "Yes, yes, it's a miracle." At this time, even many chefs who were competing looked up curiously, and only a few of them were still desperately trying to make their own dishes.
Zhang Peng continued: "It seems that everyone not only knows, but also tastes her craftsmanship, you are much more blessed than me, I can't drink a sip of water for half a day, and I can only watch so many delicacies around me, but I am really hungry for food." The humorous words immediately caused a burst of laughter below.
Then, Zhang Peng stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet first: "Everyone be quiet first, what I want to announce next, I'm afraid everyone can guess it all, yes! That is, we are going to invite this mysterious kitchen god girl to participate in this kitchen god competition!" As soon as the words came out, it immediately attracted the cheers of the onlookers, of course, part of the lead cheers were arranged by the organizers, and part of them were hired by Xiaoba. But most people, in the spirit of joining in the fun, also cheered together, not to mention that many people have eaten mapo tofu made from rice balls, and it does have a good reputation.
"Now, let's invite this kitchen god girl to say a few words to you, okay!" At this time, the rice ball had already received a notice and was taken to the high stage of the host. Everyone looked at this little girl who was about twelve or thirteen years old, and they were all curious.
Although the rice ball is usually very aggressive, but seeing so many people in the audience, I am still a little nervous, and I don't know what to say for a long time, so Zhang Peng quipped: "It seems that our genius girl is a little nervous, let's give her some encouragement." After speaking, he took the lead in applauding, driven by Zhang Peng, and the audience soon applauded.
After the applause subsided a little, Zhang Peng said softly to the rice ball: "Little sister, tell everyone about your current mood." ”
At this time, the rice ball bit his lip tightly, his big pink eyes were filled with tears, and he choked up and said, "I... I really didn't expect that... I also had a chance to participate in the competition, but they said I was late and wouldn't let me sign up. If I can't win, Master won't see me..."Saying this, the rice ball couldn't help crying, crying while saying, "Thank you... Thank you... Thank you, Brother Starling, Sister Xia Yu, and Lulu. Thank you everyone..."The more she cried, the more she cried, and finally she couldn't cry anymore, and I couldn't hear what she was saying.
This move also made the audience feel pity for the rice balls, not only for her skills, but also for everyone to protect the weak, at this time it doesn't matter who goes and who stays with other chefs, because the climax of the event has appeared.
"Come on, Chef Girl!"
"Don't cry!
"You're calling it Onigiri, right? Come on, Onigiri, we love you!"
The audience set off waves of sound, either encouragement or comfort, but no matter what was said, in every sentence, there was the name of the rice ball or the kitchen god girl, and the preliminaries on the first day were accompanied by this state and ended quietly.
Fangiri and 16 other players will participate in the semi-finals on the second day, and the topic of the semi-finals is different from the first day, but the ingredients provided by the organizer are used to make a dish to determine the top eight. As for the ingredients, the organizers have not yet revealed, and all of them will be announced on the spot the next day, which is also to test the chefs' ability to adapt to a wide range of cuisines. But for the audience, in the previous Chef God Competition, most of the discussions about which chef is expected to win the championship, or what ingredients will appear the next day, did not appear, the only topic is whether this mysterious chef girl can win the championship...
