Chapter 416 Strange Game Rules

After the identification was completed, before entering the arena, the person in charge handed Bai Xiaobai a card, which said the rank of the competition - No. 44.

It's this number again.

Baixiaobai Food Festival is the booth number.

Good luck.

Before entering the field, the contestants must wash their hands with special hand sanitizer, so that they can find their respective positions according to the number of the game.

After washing his hands, Bai Xiaobai also came to No. 44 cooking table.

The cooking table for the competition is a long table with various ingredients and a row of knives.

It was about the same as Bai Xiaobai imagined.

Most of the items on the table are fish ingredients.

Bai Xiaobai had already practiced once last night, so he is still very confident.

But it's a little strange that Bai Xiaobai didn't see the cutting board on the table.

It stands to reason that when Japanese benzene people cut ingredients, they should also put a cutting board on it.

Is it related to the rules of the game?
Bai Xiaobai was thinking.

The crowd outside the security line boiled up.

There's another big guy on the scene.

Race squares are listed separately

Soon, the palace secretary of Toba Shrine came out to host the game.

The palace secretary is a kind of job at the Nippen Shrine.Generally, they are the highest priests of the shrine, who are responsible for the management and decision-making of the shrine's affairs, and are somewhat similar to the abbot of a large Huaxia temple.

The priest of the Toba Shrine is an old man. He has many folds on his skin, and his walking is not very stable. His steps are a little weak, but his eyes are bright and his whole person is very majestic.

Bai Xiaobai learned a little about the palace secretary of Toba Shrine from Sakura before.

This person is called Nara Shigemitsu. He is nearly ninety years old. In addition to being a palace secretary, he is also a famous local gourmet.

It is said that he has a keen sense of taste and good cooking skills, but no one has seen him show his skills.

Shigemitsu Nara glanced at the players on the field, cleared his throat, and then announced the relevant rules of the knife competition in hoarse Japanese.

The topic is very simple, that is, to make a comprehensive platter of sashimi.

The time is set for half an hour.

However, within a limited time, the contestants must incorporate their own creativity and make a unique sashimi platter.

Of course, not all the ingredients on the table must be used, and it is entirely up to the contestants to match them.

When Bai Xiaobai heard this, he glanced at the competition positions connected to the left and right.

In fact, the ingredients on each contestant's table are the same, there is no difference.

The same ingredients, to make a unique sashimi platter, the test is the creativity of the contestants, this is the difficulty of this knife competition.

Otherwise.

Shigemitsu Nara announced another competition rule, which caused an uproar among most of the contestants present.

It turns out that in the competition, when cutting all the ingredients, a balloon should be placed underneath.

In other words, cut ingredients directly on the balloon.

No wonder there was no cutting board provided on the table.

When Bai Xiaobai heard this rule, he was also slightly surprised.

It is not the first time Bai Xiaobai has heard of cutting food on a balloon.

There are some awesome chefs in China who have done this before, but most of the balloons they use are thickened balloons, which are stable and not easy to burst.

If it is an ordinary thin balloon, then this game is very difficult.

Bai Xiaobai's expression was a little dignified.

In fact, if you cut soft tofu or hard corn on the balloon, it will be easy to handle.

However, shredded meat and fish fillets are soft and tough ingredients, and it is difficult to control the force. Cutting them on the balloon is a difficult operation.

While Bai Xiaobai was analyzing the regulations.

The support staff on the field have already distributed balloons to the contestants one after another.

According to the regulations, each contestant can get five balloons.

In the competition, no matter which ingredient is cut, there must be a balloon underneath.

If all five balloons burst during the game, the contestant is eliminated.

Bai Xiaobai originally thought it was just an ordinary knife skills competition, but he really didn't expect such a perverted rule to come out.

Time is limited and there are a lot of ingredients. It is necessary to complete the creative sashimi platter on time without breaking the balloon.

This is simply a highly difficult knife competition that tests a chef's ability, endurance, and creativity.

Look at the five thin balloons that have been blown up.

In the cold weather, Bai Xiaobai's palms were actually slightly sweaty.

In addition to being a little nervous, he actually felt very excited.

With a competitor like Sota Hattori and such strict regulations, it is just to test the level of his knife skills.

Bai Xiaobai took a deep breath and was fully prepared.

With a bang.

The half-hour countdown starts, and the game officially begins.

There is plenty of time.

Bai Xiaobai didn't move the knife immediately, but fell into thinking.

There are five main ingredients on the table: tuna, salmon, yellowtail, sea bream, and arctic shellfish.

In addition, there are white radish, green onion, seaweed, kelp, dried seaweed, autumn dendrobium flower, lotus and parsley.

How to make a creative platter with existing ingredients?

Although Bai Xiaobai has mastered the knife technique of sashimi cooking, he has never done sashimi before.

Even if it can be sliced, how will it be served in the end?
……

Some contestants participated purely out of interest. They are not professional chefs and do not know much about cooking.

Some people have no ideas at all, just pick up the knife and start cutting.

clap clap-

There were noises on the field one after another, and soon some contestants cut and exploded the five balloons.

Because it was the day of the festival, there were many people watching the excitement outside the security line.

Many people are amazed that this year's knife competition can be so operated.

It is really the first time that Toba Shrine has held a cooking competition to test knife skills on a balloon.

Many Japanese housewives who were watching frowned and chattered in Japanese.

There were also three Chinese tourists in the crowd, and they naturally spoke in Chinese.

A Chinese female tourist carrying a backpack shook her head, "It's unbelievable. I happened to watch the Toba Shrine's cooking competition three years ago. I didn't expect that this year's cooking competition would have such abnormal rules. Cut the ingredients..."

"This is really too difficult, how do you cut it? We Dahuaxia chefs may not be able to handle it." A male tourist also attached.

The remaining young tourist, with an expression of watching the excitement, said with a smile, "Little Riben really knows how to play. You see, this balloon is too thin, and it is blown so full that it will definitely explode when the sharp knife edge touches it. They cheat their own people every day, and we are happy to watch the excitement."

The Chinese female tourist with a backpack on her shoulders noticed Bai Xiaobai who was standing still on the field, and casually asked the two people around her:
"Hey, look, on the field, the little brother in the black down jacket looks familiar, doesn't he? He looks like a Chinese from China, and I seem to have seen him somewhere in Jianghai."

The male tourist joked, "Xiao Chen, you can see this? I don't think you are looking at other people's handsome parents, right?"

Xiao Chen blushed and scolded, "It's serious, look at it again, it's really familiar."

The male tourist and another young man took a closer look.

After a while, the two said in unison, "I'll go, isn't that the owner of Xiaobai Restaurant???"
