Dare to cook

Chapter 338 Advancement all the way
After the Huaxia team won the first game, it brought a lot of pressure to many strong teams that are aspiring to win the championship.

That night, more than 20 teams closed their doors to conduct tactical analysis on the Chinese team's game video.

Many strong teams, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal, are thinking about how to deal with the Huaxia team.

The group stage is still going on tensely.

The Chinese team, which had already qualified for qualifying, did not relax.

in the next few days.

Yao Yu and the others split into three groups, recorded almost every match in the group stage, and focused on analyzing some outstanding players who needed attention and vigilance.

If this continued for several days, the group stage ended.

The 31 teams competing for the top sixteen qualifying rounds were also selected.

Among the 31 teams, the Italian team was able to directly advance to the round of [-] due to the highest total points.

And the remaining [-] teams will have to face off two by two, and PK will advance.

In this round of competition, the Chinese team’s opponent is Austria.

France vs. Switzerland, Germany vs. Turkey, Spain vs. Malaysia, Magnesium vs. Han, Russia vs. Mexico, and so on and so forth...

The Reben team picked up a leak, and they only need to fix the UAE, which barely qualified, and they can easily advance.

……

December 18, afternoon.

The Huaxia team and the Austrian team will compete in the No. [-] gymnasium.

After the group stage, the number of judges for a single game increased from four to five.

There have also been some changes to the competition rules.

In this round, the game will be divided into a first half and a second half.Each team must field five players.

Among them, the first two people are responsible for the first half and have to prepare appetizers and soups within the specified time. The last three team up for the second half and have to prepare hot dishes, main dishes and desserts.

In the end, each dish is judged on a scale of 10 points.

After a game, whichever team has more accumulated points will win.

If the two teams are tied, then add the points obtained in the previous group stage to compete for the total points.

Appetizers, soups, hot dishes, main courses, desserts...

This kind of competition question is obviously based on the simplified version of French cuisine.There are also certain tests for the formation of the team.

Whoever comes out first, who comes out last, whoever is the chef will be the chef for whichever type of competition question is encountered, and the others will take the lead...

These issues must be arranged before the game starts.Otherwise, it will definitely affect the level of the team.

Shu Wangjing is old. Although he is the head coach of the team, he rarely went abroad in the past, and he has not been in contact with cooking competitions in Europe and America for a long time.

The old man knew no more than Yao Yu about Oppenza.

Therefore, "arrangement of troops", which is mostly the responsibility of the coach to consider and arrange, is completely delegated to Yao Yu.

Yao Yu thought about it and decided to let Ji Xun and Ling Zhaochi take the lead in the first half.

Lu Chenyu, Qin Ming, and Wu Zhongliu were in charge of the second half together.

Before Ji Xun and Ling Zhaochi came on stage, Yao Yu exhorted:

"The team that wins the first half gets a privilege."

"There are two kinds of privileges. One is to directly cut one-sixth of the cooking time of the opponent's second half. The other is to shave one of the seasonings selected by the opponent."

"Of course, seasonings such as table salt are not within the scope of elimination."

"I don't care what kind of game questions you will draw later. No matter what, you must win the first half. Otherwise, let the opponent get the privilege, and Chen Yu and the others will be very passive."

"Understood, you can rest assured. If I lose this game, I will close the western restaurant and hang out with you after returning to China." Ji Xun smiled calmly, full of confidence.

Yao Yu was taken aback for a moment, but immediately said:

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you lose the first half. You can still win if you have a sinking fish in your pocket. Old Ji, I don't think you can open that dilapidated restaurant at all, and hang out with me directly when you return home!"

As soon as this remark came out, the rest of the Huaxia team were speechless.

The corner of Ji Xun's mouth twitched and said, "Yao Yu, I may not be human, but you are a real dog!"

……

After the players on both sides took their positions, the game began.

The big screen began to draw contest questions, and after the frame was fixed, the contest questions would appear.

The topic of the appetizer is caramel toast salad, and the topic of soup is lobster cream soup.Well, they're pretty typical French dishes.

In the Alphine competition, the French food and Italian competitions can account for about 26% of the total number of competitions, which are very easy to be selected by the players.

Yao Yu looked at the announced contest questions, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said nothing.

He believed in Ji Xun's strength.

With Ji Xun's rich experience in Western food for many years, even if he faces the French team in the French food competition, he will not necessarily lose.

Facts have proved that Yao Yu's judgment is correct.

An hour and a half later, Ji Xun and Ling Zhaochi led Austria by a large margin and gained a privileged advantage in the second half.

There are two types of privilege advantages, reducing the opponent's time and reducing the seasoning that the opponent can use.

When Lu Chenyu came on stage, Yao Yu signaled her to choose the second option, directly banning Austria from using butter in the next game.

Butter is widely used in French cuisine, and it is used in many classic desserts and main dishes.

Although, chefs who regularly participate in the competition can find ways to replace butter with other ingredients.But that will be very troublesome after all, and the taste of the dishes made is definitely not as good as using high-grade butter directly.

Without butter, one-fifth of Austria's martial arts in this game was wasted.

On the other hand, the Huaxia team's morale is at its peak, and with Lu Chenyu playing as the chef, it's no problem to win the game.

Four years ago, when Lu Chenyu was still studying at Le Cordon Bleu, she earned the title of "inheritor of French cuisine".

At that time, the teachers who were in charge of teaching Lu Chenyu French cuisine believed that Lu Chenyu had the potential to become a master of Western cuisine in the future, and they tried their best to keep her in France, and even wanted to send her to the French national chef team.

From this we can see how terrifying Lu Chenyu's French cuisine is.

Under the leadership of Lu Chenyu, Austria was beaten to the point of being unable to fight back.

In the end, the game ended with the Huaxia team leading the opponent by a full 8 points.

As soon as this result came out, the strong European teams couldn't sit still.

Nima, if the French food competition can lift Austria up, if the Huaxia team wins the Chinese food competition in the next game, wouldn't everyone have to wait for death?
Suddenly, many teams, spectators, and organizer judges felt that this year’s Chinese team was a bit too strong.

But anyway, the game still has to go on.

In the next few days, France, Spain, Germany, Magnesium, Mexico, Reben, Han, and Singapore will advance one after another.

The Orpheus is still in full swing.

After entering the top [-], the game will be broadcast live around the world.

In China, chefs and netizens who pay attention to the O’French competition can also watch the real-time competition by logging in to Wanghai Tower.
