Dare to cook

Chapter 339 Consecutive Advancement

December 21.

The list of the top sixteen has been determined, and then the battle groups will be randomly divided.

After the list of battles this time comes out, there will be no changes in the future.

The members of the Huaxia team took a look at the match list, and their expressions were a little serious.

"Sixteen to eight against Portugal, eight to four against Reben or Singapore, and we may meet Spain or Magnesia in the semi-finals. And our final opponent should be either France or Italy."

"Tsk, tsk, you're not really a soft persimmon yet."

In the "meeting room" of the Chinese team, after getting the match list, Ji Xun quickly analyzed it.

Yao Yu sighed, a little regretful: "Unfortunately, there is no way to eliminate France and Italy from the top four this time."

As soon as these words came out, the other members of the Chinese team looked a little weird.

Shen Qiuming said:
"How much do you old people hate them?"

"It's not enough to win the battle, and I'm always thinking about eliminating them early."

"No way, these two countries like to fight against Huaxia every time they compete." Yao Yu shrugged, "The highest respect for an opponent is to help them get out of the game as soon as possible."

Shu Wangjing, who was sitting aside and listening with a cup of hot tea, laughed and said:
"Yao Yu is right."

"Going abroad to play games is to show this kind of momentum."

"But before that, let's study what we need to pay attention to tomorrow against Portugal, right?"

Although Portugal is not prominent among Western European countries, it has always been a veteran power in culinary competitions.

In the face of this team that won the runner-up in the last Olympian competition, everyone in the Huaxia team still did not dare to take it lightly.

Soon, the videos of Portugal's first two games were called out.

Yao Yu watched the video for a while and said to everyone:

"The overall strength of this year's Portuguese team is similar to that of the previous one. However, there are two more players who are good at Chinese food and Japanese food in their team."

"The level of these two people is very high. If there are Chinese food and Japanese food problems in tomorrow's competition, don't take it lightly."

"In addition, starting tomorrow, the competition rules will be changed to a 'best of three games' system."

"The first game is a one-on-one match. The whole game is scored out of 10 points. Whichever team wins will get 25% of the points of the whole game. That is 2.5 points."

"The second game is a two-player match. Each team sends two players to play against each other. The winner gets 30% of the points."

"The third game is a team competition. Each team sends three players to play, and the winning team gets 45% of the points."

"In addition, although the rules of the game say that two out of three games are best, in fact the heads-up match and the duel match are played at the same time."

"Then, among the three players who participated in the first two rounds, they cannot participate in the following team games repeatedly."

"So, tomorrow we have to plan our order of appearance."

Starting from the top sixteen, the "whole family" of each team must all play.

Excluding people like Yao Yu and Shen Qiuming who were not on the entry list, there were only six players in each team that could play.

And among these six people, it is impossible for each of them to be of high strength.

Therefore, how to allocate team members appropriately is particularly important.

For some teams with obvious shortcomings, they may play some "Tian Ji horse racing" strategies.

Adjust one or two players at the bottom to deal with one of the games, and then concentrate on the remaining main players to ensure that they win the other two games.

However, this year's Huaxia team is very strong, and Yao Yu can't afford to play this kind of trick of "the next four is against the top four".

After a while of deliberation, Yao Yu decided that Wu Zhongliu would be in charge of tomorrow's individual battle, Ji Xun and Lin Jingxue would partner in the doubles match, and Lu Chenyu, Ling Zhaochi, and Qin Ming would be the finale to win the final round.

This combination can ensure that the Huaxia team will maintain a greater chance of winning in every game tomorrow.

……

The next day, in the morning.

The Huaxia team vs. Portugal game has begun.

This match between the champion and the runner-up in the last year attracted the attention of many people.

Starting from the top [-], major European gourmet program groups have been watching every game, broadcasting it live for gourmet lovers from all over the world.

Domestic media such as Wanghailou and Celebrity Chefs Club also sent special recording teams and commentators to broadcast the competition for the vast number of culinary art lovers far away in China.

In winter, China time is more than five hours earlier than Istanbul.

Yao Yu and the others had just participated in the competition in the morning, and the domestic time had already reached the afternoon, which happened to be the time when the cooks were busy after the lunch rush.

Therefore, at this time, many chefs in the country have free time to sit in front of the live broadcast room and watch the competition.

After the start of the game, singles and pairs will be played simultaneously.

On the Portuguese side, the players who are best at Chinese food were sent to face Wu Zhongliu, and their captains and deputy captains teamed up to participate in the double match, and started a PK with Ji Xun and Lin Jingxue.

Portugal's chief and deputy captains have high culinary skills, all above lv8 (36700).

Yao Yu didn't expect that the opponent would let the strongest two of the team form a team to participate in the doubles match.

Because the opponent's strength is obviously stronger than Ji Lin's combination.

Although the two-player questions that were drawn were more beneficial to the Huaxia team, Ji Xun and the two still lost the game and were taken away by the other party with 30% of the points.

Fortunately, Wu Zhongliu survived his fate. Although he won the Turkish competition, he still defeated his opponent steadily and pulled back a round.

Both singles and pairs competitions are played for two hours.

Two hours later, the Huaxia team and the Portuguese team, each winning or losing, started a team match.

Before the team match begins, both teams can each use the special rights they have won.

According to the rules of the competition, the winning team in the singles competition can exchange one of its own ingredients with one of the opponent's same kind of ingredients.

For example, in the current team competition.

Both parties have to cook a seafood risotto with red wine. Among the ingredients that both parties can use are a few small crabs and a medium-sized lobster.

As the winner of the individual competition, the Huaxia team can exchange the opponent's only lobster with a small crab.

This is undoubtedly very profitable.

The opponent has no lobster, and the quality of seafood risotto is definitely not as good as his own.

And the Huaxia team has an extra lobster, which can also be added to other dishes.

Then, as the winner of the double match, the Portuguese team also has a privilege, that is, it can designate a member of the opponent so that it cannot participate in the production of a dish.

Still take the current game as an example.

In this team competition, the three questions drawn by both sides were French snail rolls, Russian roast goose and red wine seafood risotto.

Among the three dishes, the Portuguese side decided to restrict Lu Chenyu after discussion and not let her participate in the production of French snail rolls.

After so many days of racing.

Almost all of Lu Chenyu's personal resume has been inquired clearly by the opponent.

Everyone in the Portuguese team knew that Lu Chenyu had graduated from Le Cordon Bleu, and was also the chef of the entire Huaxia team who knew how to cook.

That's why they decided to restrict Lu Chenyu and not let her be in charge of French dishes in the competition.

However, all strategies are just means, and they can only set up some obstacles for the opponent within the rules of the game.

What really determines the key to victory or defeat depends on the strength of the team itself.

Although the Portuguese team restricted Lu Chenyu, she could still lead the cooking of the other two dishes.

Moreover, Ling Zhaochi and Qin Ming are not vegetarians, and their French food is no worse than that of famous Western chefs.

After another two and a half hours of the game, in the end, the Huaxia team still won the victory with a considerable advantage.

……

After defeating the last runner-up team, all members of the Huaxia team began to get better.

In the following competitions, Lu Chenyu and others continued to show impressive cooking skills.

Whether it was against the Reben team or the Chinese team in the semi-finals, the players of the Huaxia team played their best and reached the final with a strong posture without any suspense.

The final of the Ophong competition is scheduled for December 27, the day after Christmas.

This time, the Huaxia team faced the French team as no surprise.

As for Italy, another old rival of the Chinese team, they did not perform very well and only got a No. 3.

The rules of the game on the day of the final are the same as before.

However, the difficulty of the competition has at least doubled.

In a total of five hours of game time, the players from both sides will have to try a total of [-] dishes.

Time is quite tense.

While the competition was tense, the two sides had to avoid the opponent's stumbling blocks. The whole process of the game can be described as sparks flying and full of highlights.

It's just that no matter how fierce the competition is, there will be an end.

The Huaxia team finally won.

Win the victory.

This year, the Huaxia team composed of Lu Chenyu, Wu Zhongliu, Ling Zhaochi, Ji Xun, Qin Ming, and Lin Jingxue is stronger than ever.

The overall strength of the team led by Yao Yu was a whole level higher than that of that year.

Moreover, in order to prepare for the Ophelia competition.

They also conducted a three-month closed training camp.

In those three months, there were nearly fifty Qilin Ranking chefs who taught them.

With so many reasons combined, how can this year's Huaxia team not win the championship?
