Chapter 54 Competition
With a sound of start, everyone picked up the dishes prepared on the table and began to show off their knife skills. A knife skill can show how fast or neatly they cut, but no matter how fast or neat, the chef’s Knife skills are all for serving dishes.
Therefore, even if it is to show knife skills, it is to use your own knife skills to show the most beautiful scenery of cooking skills.
Landscapes, flowers and birds can all be displayed with a few small knives and vegetables that are still stained with soil.
The sound of chopping vegetables was incessant, but Shu Xia did not rush to do it. Instead, she picked out the ingredients she needed, looked at the plate in front of her, and after conceiving in her mind, she pulled out the first set of kitchen utensils. a knife.
The silver knife light kept flashing under his hand, but it didn't chop heavily on the chopping board like other people, but was clear, as if it was connected into a line, the previous one hadn't fallen, and the next one had already sounded.
The people on the TV station didn't know which media it was. After the host introduced the judges on stage, he came to the venue where thousands of people competed, looking for the most attractive person to shoot.
Generally speaking, the most attractive ones are nothing more than the top three in the previous competition. However, as the contestants this time, they don't have to compete in the first round. They just sit on the sidelines and watch the battle, and then wait until the second round time to join the game.
Yes, they can also participate in the competition. In the once-a-year competition, no one can guarantee that they won the championship this time, and they will be able to win the next time. Cooking skills depend on strength, and no one can do it all. Hold the championship in your hands all the time.
The top three in the previous session were able to participate in the competition, and naturally other players who participated in the previous session could also participate in the competition, there is nothing fair or unfair.
After the host on the stage interviewed the judges, he came to the place where the three contestants were sitting.
The champion is a fat, smiling middle-aged man, dressed as a chef, completely in line with the overall image of a chef in people's impressions.
"Excuse me, do you think you can win the championship this time?" There was a trap in the host's words, but this kind of program can only attract the audience if it creates conflicts.
It's a pity that No.1 has a loud voice, but has a good temper. "In cooking, no one dares to say that he will always be the first. If he meets someone stronger, he will be willing to bow down." He He patted his stomach and said with a smile.
"Is this the person Chef Wang is talking about?" The young man sitting next to him laughed and said.
He was scrambling to talk, the host sensed the ambiguity, and the camera immediately switched to his side, and asked with a little excitement, "Hi, I heard that you were No.2 in the last competition. What did you say just now?" , will you be able to surpass Chef Wang and win this championship?"
The young man is a little skinny, in his early 25s, his facial features are correct, but his face is a little sallow from frequent exposure to oil fumes. This game is a live broadcast, and it may be recorded and broadcast later, but now he can get the camera, which is good for attracting popularity Chance.
He watched the camera turn around, waved his hand there and said, "I definitely can't say it, but Chef Wang also said just now that no one dares to say that he is the number one forever, so I have to fight for this number one, so that I can be worthy of the last one." The words of a champion."
"Haha, you are really funny and humorous. The audience friends in front of the TV must also be looking forward to seeing you show your strength," the host interviewed and immediately transferred to the third contestant.
The last No.3 was not a man, but a woman in her early thirties, slightly fat, but with good facial features. Last time, she won the No.3 throne with her excellent carving skills. The strength can be said to be quite strong.
"Hello, do you think you can get the first place this time?" The host asked with a smile.
The woman's complexion did not change, but her eyes were full of confidence, "Of course."
"Oh? It seems that the third contestant is quite confident," the host said with a smile, "Then do you know that after you participated in the competition last time, your fans called you Diaohua Xishi?"
"I know, the main focus of the chef is cooking skills." A smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, obviously very satisfied with her appearance, and even came to participate in the competition with special makeup on her face.
"There are a little bit of good-looking things these days, and they can all be related to Xi Shi," Bai Meng complained to Lin Mang next to him while eating sunflower seeds, "She is called Xi Shi like that, so what is my cousin's name, Linlang Diaochan..."
Lin Mang finally found this station, and was looking for Brother Shu Xia on the screen, but when Bai Meng said this, he almost swallowed the melon seeds, "Bai Mengmeng, if you don't know how to name it, don't mess it up. Otherwise, if brother Shu Xia heard it, he might beat you up."
"Little girl, you're not allowed to be called Bai Mengmeng, who gave you this nickname," Bai Meng threatened her with threatening gestures, and then someone kicked her ass.
Lin Xian said coolly behind the two of them, "Watch TV quietly..."
The two immediately stopped talking, and when they turned to the TV, the host had already discovered Shu Xia's bright spot, and walked over excitedly.
Without him, it is because the boy's appearance is really eye-catching among a group of chefs who are not so standard in stature. Originally, when the camera zoomed out, only the figure was seen. Many people didn't expect that much. When the camera zoomed in, The boy's slender figure was particularly attractive. He was holding a knife and flower in his hand. He seemed to sense someone approaching and looked up.
Just one glance is enough to make the text messages sent by the audience under the TV screen scroll quickly.
"What is a glance of ten thousand years, I really only found out today, ah, three seconds, I want all the information of that little brother."
"Obviously he can rely on his appearance, but he depends on his talent..."
"A tall, handsome man who can cook, my wife."
"..."
The carved Xi Shi has long been forgotten by the audience. While the host helped the headset, he looked at the young man, his eyes were full of excitement of discovering business opportunities. Just based on this appearance, it was a proper topic. And ratings.
"Hello, you look really young. Excuse me, but your knife skills are very good. Excuse me, are you confident to win this championship?" The host asked with a flushed face. After all, not only the audience likes long A good-looking person, women generally like such a good-looking person.
Shu Xia didn't stop holding Daohua's hand. Hearing her question, she thought for a while and said, "I'll try my best."
Although he felt that relying on his own strength to face the people present was like bullying a child, it was a wise choice to keep a low profile and avoid hatred.
It's a pity that he wanted to keep a low profile, but the audience didn't give him this chance, and neither did the host.
The headset was connected to the studio, and when the boy was recorded, the ratings jumped up a bit, and there was a continuous upward trend. The leader ordered that this boy must be given more shots.
Although this is a culinary competition, the boy is also a chef, and his good looks are not white or white.
The leader gave the order, and the host started machine-gun inquiries excitedly. Knife skills are delicate work, and Shu Xia's dishes are even more delicate. Although he has confidence in his own strength, if he is distracted at a critical moment, It is also possible to destroy one's own achievements, but the host has to answer the words.
Shu Xia didn't expect that there would be so many shots, so after the series of questions from the host, she stopped what she was doing, looked at her expectant eyes, smiled, put her finger on her lips and let out a soft boo, Without saying anything, he lowered his head again and continued his previous actions.
Not answering like this is almost considered rude, but unfortunately the host and the audience in front of the TV were all shocked by the magnified smile, and the audience began to say "don't disturb my little brother's cooking", and the host spoke again When she was smiling, she stuttered a little, and her face, which was originally smiling formally, turned red.
"My cousin sister-in-law is simply a disaster," Bai Meng shook his head and said, and by the way he pushed Lin Mang beside him and said, "Manmang, don't you think so?"
"Yeah, brother Shu Xia is so good, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a husband in the future," Lin Mang shook his head in the same way.
Then he was kicked from behind by his own brother and said, "Full of thoughts, study hard, and don't fall in love early."
"Yes..." Lin Mang lay down on the table depressed, winking at Bai Meng, who was gloating at his misfortune.
Before Bai Meng could speak, he heard another sentence from Lin Xian, "He is very good, and people look up to him."
Bai Meng swallowed back the words, looked at Shu Xia on the TV screen, "..."
Yes yes yes, he knows that he is hot and knows nothing, so there is no need to deliberately emphasize and hit him.
Since he was a child, he was hit hard by outstanding cousins from all walks of life, so it won't cause any psychological trauma at all, okay?
The Lin family watched TV quietly. On the side of the merchant's mansion, Ms. Liu held her chin, covered her heart when she saw Shu Xia appear, and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, Xia Xia looks better the longer she grows, if When I was young, when I saw something like this, there was no such thing as your father and you guys."
Shang Lu looked at the young man who could shine no matter where he was on TV, and said in a deep voice, "He is mine."
"That's what you said, you haven't won it yet." Ms. Liu rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're so slow. By the time your father and I are left alone, the children will be running all over the place."
"Then he's mine too," Shang Lu moved the corner of his eyes and said, "Mom..."
The tone was deliberately elongated, so that Ms. Liu could fully understand how old she was.
Ms. Liu was so angry that she wished to bring back all the sponsorship she had invested in this event, but when she saw the young man's exquisite knife skills, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"Watch...cough, the audience can see that our chef is very attentive. We interrupted him just now. Looking at his knife skills now, he is also very good," the host brought the topic to Shu Xia's knife skills. , I didn't have any expectations at first, but I was shown by the skilled and exquisite knife skills.
The audience also followed the host's guidance and looked at the young man's hand. Those who can watch this kind of program are generally not cooking lovers, or those who like to eat. They have watched some videos of chefs. Therefore, many people find that , the boy's knife skills can really be called superb.
And the host stayed here for a long time, which naturally attracted the attention of the judges and the top three.
The No.2 young man glanced at Shu Xia's side, then cast a mocking look at the No.3 woman and said, "I'm still carving Xishi, I'm not afraid that the cowhide will be blown apart..."
That woman's complexion is not good-looking. Shu Xia's appearance is too outstanding. She was praised for her appearance just now, but in the end, there was a person who dumped her for an unknown number of streets. Only when she was in a good mood did she see a ghost. Without a camera, she rolled her eyes and said, "This is a culinary competition, not a beauty contest, and I didn't seal that Xi Shi, so what's the use of being good-looking, so young, maybe you will be eliminated in the first round. "
They sat far away, and the venue with thousands of people was very large. It was a bit blurry to see the boy's appearance, let alone see the dishes he cooked.
It's just that although she said so, she felt a little uneasy in her heart. After all, although appearance is important, but the host has stayed there for so long, it shows that the young man's cooking skills are probably good, otherwise he is destined to be eliminated. Impossible to give that many shots.
"I hope so," the young man's complexion was not very good-looking, he wanted to stand out, and of course he didn't want a so-called dark horse to appear from somewhere.
After all, he heard the news this time that there will be a special judge appearing here, and if he can get that favor, he won't have to hang around at the bottom anymore, so he is bound to win the championship this time.
There is a time limit for the first round of knife skills demonstration, 15 minutes, if a dish is not ready, it will be eliminated directly.
And during these 15 minutes, the host spent 5 minutes with Shu Xia in addition to interviewing the judges and other contestants. For this obviously unfair treatment, the other contestants had resentment in their hearts, but the audience could not wait to spend the other 10 minutes. Move them all over. As for the TV station, the 5-minute increase in ratings is enough to make them laugh from ear to ear.
When the time is up, the unfinished chefs are taken away from the venue, and the completed dishes are served in groups of ten according to the order of the judges. The five judges will score the average score after removing the highest and lowest scores. , as their first-round results.
The flowing dishes were brought up, and the judges only left the scores after simply looking at them, and then the on-site staff calculated the scores. Those with less than six points were also eliminated. Many people looked forward to it, and then Regret to leave, eyes full of sadness and loss.
Shu Xia was very confident in her knife skills, she just stood at her position, watched the plate being brought up, and calmly waited for the result.
A plate of lotus leaves, against which the blossoming lotus bloomed to the extreme, splashed a little bit of water, and the red carp in the water seemed to jump out of the water, throwing the water on the faces of the people watching.
Such pictures either appear in reality, or appear on paper, or appear under the hands of master chefs, instead of appearing in front of them.
Every texture of the vegetables on the plate is exquisite to a certain extent. The ten dishes that are judged together are put together. Compared with the other nine dishes, even if you don’t need a professional to look at it, you can see the difference. .
And ever since Shu Xia's dishes came on stage, the photographer's camera has never left.
One of the judges picked up the lotus on the plate with chopsticks in amazement, and exclaimed, "I dare say this knife skill is even better than mine, very..."
Several other judges looked at his comment, and even the three contestants paid attention here. When they saw the dish, the expressions on their faces were not only amazement, but also anxiety. , Such a level, being able to be said by the judges to exceed his own level, can definitely be called the biggest dark horse in this competition.
After that judge, another judge also gave a very high evaluation, "This is simply art, and I also give it [-]."
They were willing to bow down, and the other three judges were naturally savvy, and gave the highest score without hesitation, and served this dish to the first table in the first round for the audience in front of the screen to watch.
"It's awesome, it's really a painting when you look at it."
"This kind of food is not for ordinary people to eat."
"The chef's dexterity turned a few cheap radishes and vegetables into something I couldn't afford to eat."
"Who is No. 666? I don't know what the rating of our handsome little brother is."
"The one in front, I forgot if you didn't tell me, that handsome little brother's number seems to be 666, because the number is too special, so I remember it very clearly..."
Everyone in the audience couldn't see what the audience said, but the scores came out clearly, and everyone's attention followed the host's footsteps, focusing on the so-called No.1 in the first round.
"So when I say young people, you should be more humble." The chef next to Shu Xia looked at the staff who came over, and said with a smile to Shu Xia, "If you look better, you think you can take the first place, but in the end Not eliminated."
The staff stood still in front of him, and the man just showed a smug expression when he saw the host who should have stopped passing by him, stood in front of Shu Xia and said, "Congratulations, your work got a perfect score. As No.1 in the first round, how do you feel now?"
The staff standing in front of the person next to Shu Xia showed his score and said, "Hello, your final average score is five, and you can leave the venue."
The man's face became very good-looking in an instant, but it's a pity that Shu Xia was surrounded by a group of people, and he didn't see his expression at all. He was already dejected and taken away by the staff.
"I'm a little nervous," Shu Xia looked at the host and smiled.
"Huh? Are you not excited?" The host's attitude towards him was mild and friendly.
Shu Xia smiled and said, "Of course I was excited, I got a good result, and I would like to thank the judges for their love, but more of it is nervousness. Although I won the first round in the first round, everyone present is very excited." A strong player, my first place this time can only be regarded as a fluke, I hope everyone will be merciful in the next two rounds."
"Our No. 666 contestant is really very humble, but we all believe in your strength, please work hard," the host said kindly.
After Shu Xia thanked her, she stopped talking.
The host left, and the eyes of the surroundings gathered. Shu Xia also knew that after the first round, it would be difficult for him to keep a low profile, but if he didn't use his best strength for the sake of other people's eyes, then he would really suffer .
The few people who mocked Shu Xia before were either eliminated or silently stopped. Only Master Guo gave Shu Xia a thumbs up from a distance, causing him to smile happily.
And in a certain hotel room, an old man with a few strands of white hair looked at the best finished product in the first round, tapped his fingers, showing a touch of interest.
In the first round of the competition, the number of people was eliminated in large quantities. In the end, almost nine out of ten people were eliminated, leaving only a few hundred people for the second round of the competition.
The number of people decreased, and the venue gathered more. After lunch, the second round of competition began—everyone cooked the same dish.
This is to test the chef's mastery of ingredients and heat.
The dishes are also very simple, fish-flavored shredded pork.
This is a home-cooked dish that is often served on the table, but to maximize the taste and be the most authentic, this is to test the chef's skills from the simplest place.
In the second round, the top three players from the previous session stopped at their positions and put out their own kitchen utensils.
With an order to count down, everyone started to get busy, and Shu Xia was no exception. He selected the dishes and meat he needed.
Selected pork, fungus, radish, magnolia slices... Amid the sound of chopping vegetables in a line, they were all cut into thin and even wires, and they were neatly stacked together. Putting down the kitchen knife, Shu Xia began to prepare the fish-flavored sauce. His movements are smooth and smooth, and he looks very pleasing to the eye, but his expression is serious. The host knows a little bit about the fire, and dare not disturb him rashly. It's just that he pays more attention here than elsewhere.
The No.2 youth glanced at Shu Xia, gritted his teeth, and lowered his head again.
Shu Xia has cooked this dish of hot oil and fish-flavored shredded pork for countless times, as if it had become instinctive. After the oil temperature reached, the prepared ingredients were put into the pot one by one, and the sound of cooking came and went in the whole venue. , the aroma from the dishes gradually permeated the entire venue.
Finally, put it on a plate and put it on the plate, and let the judges try the dishes one by one.
In order to maintain the best taste, whoever cooks it first will take it up and try it first. When Shu Xia's dishes were put on the plate, several people's dishes had already been put up for the judges to taste.
Just looking at the previous few words, Shu Xia shook his head in his heart. He dare not say that he is the fastest, but he keeps in mind the heat and the time needed to grasp it. If he is faster than him, it is very likely that he will be fired. It's too big, and the heat is absolutely bad.
When Shu Xia's dishes were served, there were also the top three dishes from the previous session.
In order to ensure absolute fairness, the numbers of the contestants are all on the bottom of the plate. The judges will never know which dish is the work of which contestant before scoring.
When cooking a dish, the most important thing is to have a good color, fragrance, and taste. If any one is missing, it will fail. And the four new dishes are all very similar in appearance. Several judges looked at each other, and then rinsed their mouths with water , tasted the past one by one.
There are two dishes of color and fragrance, and these four dishes are not lacking. It is reasonable to say that some of them are equal, but one of them is too good, far surpassing the other three.
The heat, the seasoning, and the skill of the knife made them unable to pick out any faults. Even after tasting it, they felt like they wanted to bite their tongues down.
If there is no gem of that dish, they may still be entangled in the rating of the other three dishes, but with that one, the others feel much inferior. They even want to call back the dish they rated before and lower it a little. Fraction.
This time the scores were not announced one by one in advance, but after all the contestants were either finished or the time was up for direct elimination, the announcement was made.
The highest score of [-] was very eye-catching. Some people focused their attention on Shu Xia, some focused on the top three, and most people focused on the host.
The number placed on the No.1 table in the second round was drawn out, and the host turned it over and looked towards the venue.
The top three all held their breaths, they were equally nervous, because the appearance of the dark horse in the first round, the excessively high ten points, really made them afraid.
They would rather the second round of ten points appear among them, and they don't want that ten points to belong to that overly outstanding boy, but when they think this way in their hearts, they are also thinking about their own strength. Have you achieved it?
The host purposely kept it off, and then announced when the atmosphere was the most tense, "Let's congratulate contestant No. 666, who won No.1 in the second round and scored [-] points again."
When the results came out, the faces of the top three all changed. They had hoped that the young man was only good at knife skills, maybe it was just a talent, but after this result, they knew that that person was not only good at knife skills, but also good at cooking. Strength.
The two very heavy burdens weighed down, they wanted to win the final victory, unless he got an extremely low score in the third round, was that possible?
With such outstanding talents, is it really possible for them to win the final victory?
"I object. I don't believe that his cooking can reach ten points," the No.2 youth gritted his teeth and looked up. Yes, the judges must have cheated. possible final victory.
With a sound of objection, many people at the scene looked over, and even the host was a little caught off guard. Indeed, the two ten scores seemed really incredible, but seeing the boy's performance with his own eyes, there is no Anyone who doubts him, he is really good and outstanding.
It's a pity that such a result, in the eyes of those who haven't seen it, does bring a lot of unreality.
The contestants at the scene obviously had the same doubts as the young man, but the audience in front of the TV almost cursed. They watched the dishes made by the young man with their own eyes, and saw with their own eyes that a few judges tasted it without knowing anything. Where there are signs of cheating.
"That guy is just jealous!"
"Crazy, live broadcast, if the judges want to cheat, they really don't want that face."
"Maybe he didn't score very well himself."
"Don't say that, maybe they got No.2 last time by cheating."
"It's very fair to get the ranking yourself. If others are better, it may be cheating. It's logical."
"..."
"Is this contestant suspecting that the judges are cheating?" A judge said with a displeased face. Although their activities are not comparable to some top events, they are still held formally. The red envelopes came, obviously their reputation was more important.
To suspect that the game is unfair is to suspect that they cheated. If such a hat is really put on, the game will be over, and so will the outstanding boy.
"I have no doubts," the young man was actually a little panicked at this time, he didn't want to go against the whole competition, but just wanted to push that young man out.
"Then you said against it before," a judge glanced at him and said, "If you doubt the fairness of the competition, then you are not welcome to participate in our competition. We can let you conduct an inspection. If cheating is found, we will report to you." Apologize and make up for your loss, but this situation does not exist, if not, then how about you also disqualify from this competition?"
"Okay, I accept," the young man clenched his fists and glanced at Shu Xia.
The judge said to Shu Xia with a pleasant face, "He wants to test it, and I want to ask your opinion."
"I obey your schedule and cooperate with your work," Shu Xia said with a calm smile.
With his own strength, he naturally knew that if the organizer really cheated, he would not dare to say such a thing.
As for the suspicious young man, Shu Xia had already seen that he was in trouble, but no one else could save this kind of self-seeking death.
As the object of suspicion, Shu Xia would not give any help or sympathy even though she saw his pale face and regret in his eyes.
It is not a good thing for young people to be impatient under pressure.
The young man came to Shu Xia's dish under the guidance of the host, and when he was about to try it, Shu Xia stopped him, "I'm sorry, can I wait a moment?"
"Huh? What's the matter?" The host asked questions, and the others turned their heads to look at him.
In front of so many people, Shu Xia didn't panic, but smiled and said, "It's been such a long time, that dish should have lost its best taste. If I have enough time, I want to make a new one, so that this person won't be too tired." Monsieur doubts."
"I think it's feasible," said the judge who spoke before, and the other judges echoed in unison. The young man's expression changed again and again, but he could only grit his teeth and say, "Yes."
After Shu Xia got the approval, she re-selected the ingredients and started cooking.
The other contestants were busy with their own affairs before, so they didn't see him at all. Now that they watched it intuitively, they found that it was almost impossible for them to do well at that speed. With such an atmosphere and such smooth flow, many people first This is the first time I know that cooking is really an art sometimes.
In the blink of an eye, even some people were still holding their breath, the plate of freshly cooked dishes was already installed and placed in front of the young man. He picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, facing everyone's gaze, and put them in his mouth. When I was in it, I felt that I could hardly swallow it.
It's not that it's not delicious, but it's too delicious. With his current level, he can't make it at all, but he regretted it a little when he saw the young man's smooth movements, and now he regrets it completely, but he doesn't even have room for regret up.
Even if he participated in the third round, he was no match. The young man raised his head, put down his chopsticks and walked out of the venue silently, "I admit defeat."
It's not suspicion, but he really admitted defeat.
"Useless guy," the No.3 woman said with sarcasm, but looked at the boy with deep fear.
Can she really win the culinary skills that can convince that person?Forget it, anyway, if you can't get the first place, it's good to be able to grab the second place.
In the third round, free play, Chef Wang's Buddha jumping over the wall, and the woman's boiled fish all lost to the eight-treasure stew served by the boy.
Eight kinds of dishes are gathered on one plate, but there is another one, without any taint, the taste is quite amazing.
As a result of the scoring, Shu Xia took the No.1 position with a perfect score, while the woman took the No.2 position. Unexpectedly, Master Guo did not show up in the first two rounds, but in the third round he relied on With a score of nearly full marks, it took the third place, squeezing the original No.1.
The contestants presented the awards, first Master Guo, then the woman. When Shu Xia came on stage, he saw the old man slowly walking out from the backstage, his eyes widened in surprise.
The trophy and bonus were handed over by the old man, Shu Xia quickly caught them, and said with embarrassment, "Thank you, Senior Xu."
The host did not reveal his identity, but he knew this senior. The old man was none other than the super chef who had spoken to him, Xu Xiangqian, senior Xu who was also the vice chairman of the National Chefs Association.
It's just that I didn't expect to meet him here.
"You're welcome, you're outstanding," the old man who was admired by the judges smiled at him and said, "Come and talk to me after the game."
His voice was extremely low, Shu Xia froze for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."
The platform for accepting the award was very simple, not as dazzling as the stage of the stars, but the smiling young man standing on it was enough to attract the attention of many people.
What is even more striking is that both No.1 and No.3 come from a restaurant named Lin Lang.
"It's really amazing. Our No.1 and No.3 this year are both from a restaurant named Linlang," the host said in a blog post, but he also advertised Linlang.
The audience was equally astonished.
"I've eaten there, and it's really good."
"I haven't been there, but I'm going to go out to Linlang to watch my little brother soon..."
"Are their chefs so handsome?"
"The strength is strong, which means that it is really delicious."
"..."
"It's a pity, a handsome guy is a cook, so he probably went to some culinary school..."
"it's a pity."
"Unfortunately, if I'm not mistaken, he is the No. [-] student in science in City A this year, and he is studying in the Department of Business Administration of University A. Besides, what's the matter with the cook, it is said that he is Lin Lang's boss."
"Wait, there's a lot of stuff going on upstairs..."
The live TV broadcast is over, but there is still a post bar, which was originally a deserted post bar, but it is in full swing, and the discussions are incessant. After posting photos one by one, Assistant Zhang can only tell the boss in shame, "I'm sorry, boss, with our strength , Madam's appearance cannot be concealed."
In this society, if it’s just photos from the media, or photos sent by people in small batches, they can still delete them, but they can’t put a mosaic on the TV if it’s on TV. If people want to take screenshots, they really can’t do anything about it.
Of course, under the top secret, those people will not know anything except their appearance and school.
Shang Lu also knew that some people would notice the young man after participating in such a competition, but he did not expect that his attention could not be suppressed as easily as before. "Got it, be careful not to disturb his life."
"Yes, boss," Assistant Zhang decided to send extra bodyguards to the lady boss when she returned home. Anyone who tried to get close should not come within three meters.
Shu Xia went to the competition by himself, but when he came out, he saw Shanglu's car, he looked at Master Guo who was following him, and handed over the car key, "Master Guo, you drive my car back, remember to open it tomorrow." Just go to the restaurant."
After he finished speaking, he handed the car keys to Master Guo, and he had already walked to Shanglu's car in a few steps.
Master Guo held the key, looked at his slightly anxious behavior, then looked at the car that came to pick up people, and shook his head with a smile. The man who came to the restaurant was married, young man, so happy...
"Come to pick me up?" Shu Xia sat in the co-pilot's seat, isolated from the crowd outside, and asked with a smile.
"Well, seat belt," Shanglu said, starting the car.
"Well," Shu Xia tied it up with a smile, looked at the slightly dark sky outside and said, "But I can't go back now, I have to go somewhere."
"I know," Shang Lu was not driving in the direction of home, but turned on another road, and stopped at the entrance of a hotel under Shu Xia's puzzled look.
"What are you doing here?" Shu Xia asked, it couldn't be a room, could it?He pinched his brows, feeling very ashamed of his first thought, but it can't be his fault, isn't it normal to have thoughts with a beautiful man by his side?
"Meet someone," Shang Lu got out of the car, opened the car door for him, handed him a room card and said, "Go alone, I'll wait for you here."
"Oh," Shu Xia took the room card in a daze, and Shang Lu rubbed the top of her head. All the anxiety and doubts were instantly taken away by that big hand.
The elevator went up, and Shu Xia looked at the room number on the door card. When she arrived, she didn't use it directly, but knocked on the door. There was a sound of unlocking the door. Shu Xia looked at the person who opened the door, stunned for a moment, and smiled. He smiled and said, "Senior Xu, hello."
"Come on, come in," Xu Xiangqian threw away the doorknob and walked in with his hands behind his back.
Shu Xia hurriedly followed. He didn't say anything, and Shang Lu brought him here. Was this Mr. Xu really invited by the organizer?
Therefore, even if it is to show knife skills, it is to use your own knife skills to show the most beautiful scenery of cooking skills.
Landscapes, flowers and birds can all be displayed with a few small knives and vegetables that are still stained with soil.
The sound of chopping vegetables was incessant, but Shu Xia did not rush to do it. Instead, she picked out the ingredients she needed, looked at the plate in front of her, and after conceiving in her mind, she pulled out the first set of kitchen utensils. a knife.
The silver knife light kept flashing under his hand, but it didn't chop heavily on the chopping board like other people, but was clear, as if it was connected into a line, the previous one hadn't fallen, and the next one had already sounded.
The people on the TV station didn't know which media it was. After the host introduced the judges on stage, he came to the venue where thousands of people competed, looking for the most attractive person to shoot.
Generally speaking, the most attractive ones are nothing more than the top three in the previous competition. However, as the contestants this time, they don't have to compete in the first round. They just sit on the sidelines and watch the battle, and then wait until the second round time to join the game.
Yes, they can also participate in the competition. In the once-a-year competition, no one can guarantee that they won the championship this time, and they will be able to win the next time. Cooking skills depend on strength, and no one can do it all. Hold the championship in your hands all the time.
The top three in the previous session were able to participate in the competition, and naturally other players who participated in the previous session could also participate in the competition, there is nothing fair or unfair.
After the host on the stage interviewed the judges, he came to the place where the three contestants were sitting.
The champion is a fat, smiling middle-aged man, dressed as a chef, completely in line with the overall image of a chef in people's impressions.
"Excuse me, do you think you can win the championship this time?" There was a trap in the host's words, but this kind of program can only attract the audience if it creates conflicts.
It's a pity that No.1 has a loud voice, but has a good temper. "In cooking, no one dares to say that he will always be the first. If he meets someone stronger, he will be willing to bow down." He He patted his stomach and said with a smile.
"Is this the person Chef Wang is talking about?" The young man sitting next to him laughed and said.
He was scrambling to talk, the host sensed the ambiguity, and the camera immediately switched to his side, and asked with a little excitement, "Hi, I heard that you were No.2 in the last competition. What did you say just now?" , will you be able to surpass Chef Wang and win this championship?"
The young man is a little skinny, in his early 25s, his facial features are correct, but his face is a little sallow from frequent exposure to oil fumes. This game is a live broadcast, and it may be recorded and broadcast later, but now he can get the camera, which is good for attracting popularity Chance.
He watched the camera turn around, waved his hand there and said, "I definitely can't say it, but Chef Wang also said just now that no one dares to say that he is the number one forever, so I have to fight for this number one, so that I can be worthy of the last one." The words of a champion."
"Haha, you are really funny and humorous. The audience friends in front of the TV must also be looking forward to seeing you show your strength," the host interviewed and immediately transferred to the third contestant.
The last No.3 was not a man, but a woman in her early thirties, slightly fat, but with good facial features. Last time, she won the No.3 throne with her excellent carving skills. The strength can be said to be quite strong.
"Hello, do you think you can get the first place this time?" The host asked with a smile.
The woman's complexion did not change, but her eyes were full of confidence, "Of course."
"Oh? It seems that the third contestant is quite confident," the host said with a smile, "Then do you know that after you participated in the competition last time, your fans called you Diaohua Xishi?"
"I know, the main focus of the chef is cooking skills." A smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, obviously very satisfied with her appearance, and even came to participate in the competition with special makeup on her face.
"There are a little bit of good-looking things these days, and they can all be related to Xi Shi," Bai Meng complained to Lin Mang next to him while eating sunflower seeds, "She is called Xi Shi like that, so what is my cousin's name, Linlang Diaochan..."
Lin Mang finally found this station, and was looking for Brother Shu Xia on the screen, but when Bai Meng said this, he almost swallowed the melon seeds, "Bai Mengmeng, if you don't know how to name it, don't mess it up. Otherwise, if brother Shu Xia heard it, he might beat you up."
"Little girl, you're not allowed to be called Bai Mengmeng, who gave you this nickname," Bai Meng threatened her with threatening gestures, and then someone kicked her ass.
Lin Xian said coolly behind the two of them, "Watch TV quietly..."
The two immediately stopped talking, and when they turned to the TV, the host had already discovered Shu Xia's bright spot, and walked over excitedly.
Without him, it is because the boy's appearance is really eye-catching among a group of chefs who are not so standard in stature. Originally, when the camera zoomed out, only the figure was seen. Many people didn't expect that much. When the camera zoomed in, The boy's slender figure was particularly attractive. He was holding a knife and flower in his hand. He seemed to sense someone approaching and looked up.
Just one glance is enough to make the text messages sent by the audience under the TV screen scroll quickly.
"What is a glance of ten thousand years, I really only found out today, ah, three seconds, I want all the information of that little brother."
"Obviously he can rely on his appearance, but he depends on his talent..."
"A tall, handsome man who can cook, my wife."
"..."
The carved Xi Shi has long been forgotten by the audience. While the host helped the headset, he looked at the young man, his eyes were full of excitement of discovering business opportunities. Just based on this appearance, it was a proper topic. And ratings.
"Hello, you look really young. Excuse me, but your knife skills are very good. Excuse me, are you confident to win this championship?" The host asked with a flushed face. After all, not only the audience likes long A good-looking person, women generally like such a good-looking person.
Shu Xia didn't stop holding Daohua's hand. Hearing her question, she thought for a while and said, "I'll try my best."
Although he felt that relying on his own strength to face the people present was like bullying a child, it was a wise choice to keep a low profile and avoid hatred.
It's a pity that he wanted to keep a low profile, but the audience didn't give him this chance, and neither did the host.
The headset was connected to the studio, and when the boy was recorded, the ratings jumped up a bit, and there was a continuous upward trend. The leader ordered that this boy must be given more shots.
Although this is a culinary competition, the boy is also a chef, and his good looks are not white or white.
The leader gave the order, and the host started machine-gun inquiries excitedly. Knife skills are delicate work, and Shu Xia's dishes are even more delicate. Although he has confidence in his own strength, if he is distracted at a critical moment, It is also possible to destroy one's own achievements, but the host has to answer the words.
Shu Xia didn't expect that there would be so many shots, so after the series of questions from the host, she stopped what she was doing, looked at her expectant eyes, smiled, put her finger on her lips and let out a soft boo, Without saying anything, he lowered his head again and continued his previous actions.
Not answering like this is almost considered rude, but unfortunately the host and the audience in front of the TV were all shocked by the magnified smile, and the audience began to say "don't disturb my little brother's cooking", and the host spoke again When she was smiling, she stuttered a little, and her face, which was originally smiling formally, turned red.
"My cousin sister-in-law is simply a disaster," Bai Meng shook his head and said, and by the way he pushed Lin Mang beside him and said, "Manmang, don't you think so?"
"Yeah, brother Shu Xia is so good, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a husband in the future," Lin Mang shook his head in the same way.
Then he was kicked from behind by his own brother and said, "Full of thoughts, study hard, and don't fall in love early."
"Yes..." Lin Mang lay down on the table depressed, winking at Bai Meng, who was gloating at his misfortune.
Before Bai Meng could speak, he heard another sentence from Lin Xian, "He is very good, and people look up to him."
Bai Meng swallowed back the words, looked at Shu Xia on the TV screen, "..."
Yes yes yes, he knows that he is hot and knows nothing, so there is no need to deliberately emphasize and hit him.
Since he was a child, he was hit hard by outstanding cousins from all walks of life, so it won't cause any psychological trauma at all, okay?
The Lin family watched TV quietly. On the side of the merchant's mansion, Ms. Liu held her chin, covered her heart when she saw Shu Xia appear, and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, Xia Xia looks better the longer she grows, if When I was young, when I saw something like this, there was no such thing as your father and you guys."
Shang Lu looked at the young man who could shine no matter where he was on TV, and said in a deep voice, "He is mine."
"That's what you said, you haven't won it yet." Ms. Liu rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're so slow. By the time your father and I are left alone, the children will be running all over the place."
"Then he's mine too," Shang Lu moved the corner of his eyes and said, "Mom..."
The tone was deliberately elongated, so that Ms. Liu could fully understand how old she was.
Ms. Liu was so angry that she wished to bring back all the sponsorship she had invested in this event, but when she saw the young man's exquisite knife skills, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"Watch...cough, the audience can see that our chef is very attentive. We interrupted him just now. Looking at his knife skills now, he is also very good," the host brought the topic to Shu Xia's knife skills. , I didn't have any expectations at first, but I was shown by the skilled and exquisite knife skills.
The audience also followed the host's guidance and looked at the young man's hand. Those who can watch this kind of program are generally not cooking lovers, or those who like to eat. They have watched some videos of chefs. Therefore, many people find that , the boy's knife skills can really be called superb.
And the host stayed here for a long time, which naturally attracted the attention of the judges and the top three.
The No.2 young man glanced at Shu Xia's side, then cast a mocking look at the No.3 woman and said, "I'm still carving Xishi, I'm not afraid that the cowhide will be blown apart..."
That woman's complexion is not good-looking. Shu Xia's appearance is too outstanding. She was praised for her appearance just now, but in the end, there was a person who dumped her for an unknown number of streets. Only when she was in a good mood did she see a ghost. Without a camera, she rolled her eyes and said, "This is a culinary competition, not a beauty contest, and I didn't seal that Xi Shi, so what's the use of being good-looking, so young, maybe you will be eliminated in the first round. "
They sat far away, and the venue with thousands of people was very large. It was a bit blurry to see the boy's appearance, let alone see the dishes he cooked.
It's just that although she said so, she felt a little uneasy in her heart. After all, although appearance is important, but the host has stayed there for so long, it shows that the young man's cooking skills are probably good, otherwise he is destined to be eliminated. Impossible to give that many shots.
"I hope so," the young man's complexion was not very good-looking, he wanted to stand out, and of course he didn't want a so-called dark horse to appear from somewhere.
After all, he heard the news this time that there will be a special judge appearing here, and if he can get that favor, he won't have to hang around at the bottom anymore, so he is bound to win the championship this time.
There is a time limit for the first round of knife skills demonstration, 15 minutes, if a dish is not ready, it will be eliminated directly.
And during these 15 minutes, the host spent 5 minutes with Shu Xia in addition to interviewing the judges and other contestants. For this obviously unfair treatment, the other contestants had resentment in their hearts, but the audience could not wait to spend the other 10 minutes. Move them all over. As for the TV station, the 5-minute increase in ratings is enough to make them laugh from ear to ear.
When the time is up, the unfinished chefs are taken away from the venue, and the completed dishes are served in groups of ten according to the order of the judges. The five judges will score the average score after removing the highest and lowest scores. , as their first-round results.
The flowing dishes were brought up, and the judges only left the scores after simply looking at them, and then the on-site staff calculated the scores. Those with less than six points were also eliminated. Many people looked forward to it, and then Regret to leave, eyes full of sadness and loss.
Shu Xia was very confident in her knife skills, she just stood at her position, watched the plate being brought up, and calmly waited for the result.
A plate of lotus leaves, against which the blossoming lotus bloomed to the extreme, splashed a little bit of water, and the red carp in the water seemed to jump out of the water, throwing the water on the faces of the people watching.
Such pictures either appear in reality, or appear on paper, or appear under the hands of master chefs, instead of appearing in front of them.
Every texture of the vegetables on the plate is exquisite to a certain extent. The ten dishes that are judged together are put together. Compared with the other nine dishes, even if you don’t need a professional to look at it, you can see the difference. .
And ever since Shu Xia's dishes came on stage, the photographer's camera has never left.
One of the judges picked up the lotus on the plate with chopsticks in amazement, and exclaimed, "I dare say this knife skill is even better than mine, very..."
Several other judges looked at his comment, and even the three contestants paid attention here. When they saw the dish, the expressions on their faces were not only amazement, but also anxiety. , Such a level, being able to be said by the judges to exceed his own level, can definitely be called the biggest dark horse in this competition.
After that judge, another judge also gave a very high evaluation, "This is simply art, and I also give it [-]."
They were willing to bow down, and the other three judges were naturally savvy, and gave the highest score without hesitation, and served this dish to the first table in the first round for the audience in front of the screen to watch.
"It's awesome, it's really a painting when you look at it."
"This kind of food is not for ordinary people to eat."
"The chef's dexterity turned a few cheap radishes and vegetables into something I couldn't afford to eat."
"Who is No. 666? I don't know what the rating of our handsome little brother is."
"The one in front, I forgot if you didn't tell me, that handsome little brother's number seems to be 666, because the number is too special, so I remember it very clearly..."
Everyone in the audience couldn't see what the audience said, but the scores came out clearly, and everyone's attention followed the host's footsteps, focusing on the so-called No.1 in the first round.
"So when I say young people, you should be more humble." The chef next to Shu Xia looked at the staff who came over, and said with a smile to Shu Xia, "If you look better, you think you can take the first place, but in the end Not eliminated."
The staff stood still in front of him, and the man just showed a smug expression when he saw the host who should have stopped passing by him, stood in front of Shu Xia and said, "Congratulations, your work got a perfect score. As No.1 in the first round, how do you feel now?"
The staff standing in front of the person next to Shu Xia showed his score and said, "Hello, your final average score is five, and you can leave the venue."
The man's face became very good-looking in an instant, but it's a pity that Shu Xia was surrounded by a group of people, and he didn't see his expression at all. He was already dejected and taken away by the staff.
"I'm a little nervous," Shu Xia looked at the host and smiled.
"Huh? Are you not excited?" The host's attitude towards him was mild and friendly.
Shu Xia smiled and said, "Of course I was excited, I got a good result, and I would like to thank the judges for their love, but more of it is nervousness. Although I won the first round in the first round, everyone present is very excited." A strong player, my first place this time can only be regarded as a fluke, I hope everyone will be merciful in the next two rounds."
"Our No. 666 contestant is really very humble, but we all believe in your strength, please work hard," the host said kindly.
After Shu Xia thanked her, she stopped talking.
The host left, and the eyes of the surroundings gathered. Shu Xia also knew that after the first round, it would be difficult for him to keep a low profile, but if he didn't use his best strength for the sake of other people's eyes, then he would really suffer .
The few people who mocked Shu Xia before were either eliminated or silently stopped. Only Master Guo gave Shu Xia a thumbs up from a distance, causing him to smile happily.
And in a certain hotel room, an old man with a few strands of white hair looked at the best finished product in the first round, tapped his fingers, showing a touch of interest.
In the first round of the competition, the number of people was eliminated in large quantities. In the end, almost nine out of ten people were eliminated, leaving only a few hundred people for the second round of the competition.
The number of people decreased, and the venue gathered more. After lunch, the second round of competition began—everyone cooked the same dish.
This is to test the chef's mastery of ingredients and heat.
The dishes are also very simple, fish-flavored shredded pork.
This is a home-cooked dish that is often served on the table, but to maximize the taste and be the most authentic, this is to test the chef's skills from the simplest place.
In the second round, the top three players from the previous session stopped at their positions and put out their own kitchen utensils.
With an order to count down, everyone started to get busy, and Shu Xia was no exception. He selected the dishes and meat he needed.
Selected pork, fungus, radish, magnolia slices... Amid the sound of chopping vegetables in a line, they were all cut into thin and even wires, and they were neatly stacked together. Putting down the kitchen knife, Shu Xia began to prepare the fish-flavored sauce. His movements are smooth and smooth, and he looks very pleasing to the eye, but his expression is serious. The host knows a little bit about the fire, and dare not disturb him rashly. It's just that he pays more attention here than elsewhere.
The No.2 youth glanced at Shu Xia, gritted his teeth, and lowered his head again.
Shu Xia has cooked this dish of hot oil and fish-flavored shredded pork for countless times, as if it had become instinctive. After the oil temperature reached, the prepared ingredients were put into the pot one by one, and the sound of cooking came and went in the whole venue. , the aroma from the dishes gradually permeated the entire venue.
Finally, put it on a plate and put it on the plate, and let the judges try the dishes one by one.
In order to maintain the best taste, whoever cooks it first will take it up and try it first. When Shu Xia's dishes were put on the plate, several people's dishes had already been put up for the judges to taste.
Just looking at the previous few words, Shu Xia shook his head in his heart. He dare not say that he is the fastest, but he keeps in mind the heat and the time needed to grasp it. If he is faster than him, it is very likely that he will be fired. It's too big, and the heat is absolutely bad.
When Shu Xia's dishes were served, there were also the top three dishes from the previous session.
In order to ensure absolute fairness, the numbers of the contestants are all on the bottom of the plate. The judges will never know which dish is the work of which contestant before scoring.
When cooking a dish, the most important thing is to have a good color, fragrance, and taste. If any one is missing, it will fail. And the four new dishes are all very similar in appearance. Several judges looked at each other, and then rinsed their mouths with water , tasted the past one by one.
There are two dishes of color and fragrance, and these four dishes are not lacking. It is reasonable to say that some of them are equal, but one of them is too good, far surpassing the other three.
The heat, the seasoning, and the skill of the knife made them unable to pick out any faults. Even after tasting it, they felt like they wanted to bite their tongues down.
If there is no gem of that dish, they may still be entangled in the rating of the other three dishes, but with that one, the others feel much inferior. They even want to call back the dish they rated before and lower it a little. Fraction.
This time the scores were not announced one by one in advance, but after all the contestants were either finished or the time was up for direct elimination, the announcement was made.
The highest score of [-] was very eye-catching. Some people focused their attention on Shu Xia, some focused on the top three, and most people focused on the host.
The number placed on the No.1 table in the second round was drawn out, and the host turned it over and looked towards the venue.
The top three all held their breaths, they were equally nervous, because the appearance of the dark horse in the first round, the excessively high ten points, really made them afraid.
They would rather the second round of ten points appear among them, and they don't want that ten points to belong to that overly outstanding boy, but when they think this way in their hearts, they are also thinking about their own strength. Have you achieved it?
The host purposely kept it off, and then announced when the atmosphere was the most tense, "Let's congratulate contestant No. 666, who won No.1 in the second round and scored [-] points again."
When the results came out, the faces of the top three all changed. They had hoped that the young man was only good at knife skills, maybe it was just a talent, but after this result, they knew that that person was not only good at knife skills, but also good at cooking. Strength.
The two very heavy burdens weighed down, they wanted to win the final victory, unless he got an extremely low score in the third round, was that possible?
With such outstanding talents, is it really possible for them to win the final victory?
"I object. I don't believe that his cooking can reach ten points," the No.2 youth gritted his teeth and looked up. Yes, the judges must have cheated. possible final victory.
With a sound of objection, many people at the scene looked over, and even the host was a little caught off guard. Indeed, the two ten scores seemed really incredible, but seeing the boy's performance with his own eyes, there is no Anyone who doubts him, he is really good and outstanding.
It's a pity that such a result, in the eyes of those who haven't seen it, does bring a lot of unreality.
The contestants at the scene obviously had the same doubts as the young man, but the audience in front of the TV almost cursed. They watched the dishes made by the young man with their own eyes, and saw with their own eyes that a few judges tasted it without knowing anything. Where there are signs of cheating.
"That guy is just jealous!"
"Crazy, live broadcast, if the judges want to cheat, they really don't want that face."
"Maybe he didn't score very well himself."
"Don't say that, maybe they got No.2 last time by cheating."
"It's very fair to get the ranking yourself. If others are better, it may be cheating. It's logical."
"..."
"Is this contestant suspecting that the judges are cheating?" A judge said with a displeased face. Although their activities are not comparable to some top events, they are still held formally. The red envelopes came, obviously their reputation was more important.
To suspect that the game is unfair is to suspect that they cheated. If such a hat is really put on, the game will be over, and so will the outstanding boy.
"I have no doubts," the young man was actually a little panicked at this time, he didn't want to go against the whole competition, but just wanted to push that young man out.
"Then you said against it before," a judge glanced at him and said, "If you doubt the fairness of the competition, then you are not welcome to participate in our competition. We can let you conduct an inspection. If cheating is found, we will report to you." Apologize and make up for your loss, but this situation does not exist, if not, then how about you also disqualify from this competition?"
"Okay, I accept," the young man clenched his fists and glanced at Shu Xia.
The judge said to Shu Xia with a pleasant face, "He wants to test it, and I want to ask your opinion."
"I obey your schedule and cooperate with your work," Shu Xia said with a calm smile.
With his own strength, he naturally knew that if the organizer really cheated, he would not dare to say such a thing.
As for the suspicious young man, Shu Xia had already seen that he was in trouble, but no one else could save this kind of self-seeking death.
As the object of suspicion, Shu Xia would not give any help or sympathy even though she saw his pale face and regret in his eyes.
It is not a good thing for young people to be impatient under pressure.
The young man came to Shu Xia's dish under the guidance of the host, and when he was about to try it, Shu Xia stopped him, "I'm sorry, can I wait a moment?"
"Huh? What's the matter?" The host asked questions, and the others turned their heads to look at him.
In front of so many people, Shu Xia didn't panic, but smiled and said, "It's been such a long time, that dish should have lost its best taste. If I have enough time, I want to make a new one, so that this person won't be too tired." Monsieur doubts."
"I think it's feasible," said the judge who spoke before, and the other judges echoed in unison. The young man's expression changed again and again, but he could only grit his teeth and say, "Yes."
After Shu Xia got the approval, she re-selected the ingredients and started cooking.
The other contestants were busy with their own affairs before, so they didn't see him at all. Now that they watched it intuitively, they found that it was almost impossible for them to do well at that speed. With such an atmosphere and such smooth flow, many people first This is the first time I know that cooking is really an art sometimes.
In the blink of an eye, even some people were still holding their breath, the plate of freshly cooked dishes was already installed and placed in front of the young man. He picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, facing everyone's gaze, and put them in his mouth. When I was in it, I felt that I could hardly swallow it.
It's not that it's not delicious, but it's too delicious. With his current level, he can't make it at all, but he regretted it a little when he saw the young man's smooth movements, and now he regrets it completely, but he doesn't even have room for regret up.
Even if he participated in the third round, he was no match. The young man raised his head, put down his chopsticks and walked out of the venue silently, "I admit defeat."
It's not suspicion, but he really admitted defeat.
"Useless guy," the No.3 woman said with sarcasm, but looked at the boy with deep fear.
Can she really win the culinary skills that can convince that person?Forget it, anyway, if you can't get the first place, it's good to be able to grab the second place.
In the third round, free play, Chef Wang's Buddha jumping over the wall, and the woman's boiled fish all lost to the eight-treasure stew served by the boy.
Eight kinds of dishes are gathered on one plate, but there is another one, without any taint, the taste is quite amazing.
As a result of the scoring, Shu Xia took the No.1 position with a perfect score, while the woman took the No.2 position. Unexpectedly, Master Guo did not show up in the first two rounds, but in the third round he relied on With a score of nearly full marks, it took the third place, squeezing the original No.1.
The contestants presented the awards, first Master Guo, then the woman. When Shu Xia came on stage, he saw the old man slowly walking out from the backstage, his eyes widened in surprise.
The trophy and bonus were handed over by the old man, Shu Xia quickly caught them, and said with embarrassment, "Thank you, Senior Xu."
The host did not reveal his identity, but he knew this senior. The old man was none other than the super chef who had spoken to him, Xu Xiangqian, senior Xu who was also the vice chairman of the National Chefs Association.
It's just that I didn't expect to meet him here.
"You're welcome, you're outstanding," the old man who was admired by the judges smiled at him and said, "Come and talk to me after the game."
His voice was extremely low, Shu Xia froze for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."
The platform for accepting the award was very simple, not as dazzling as the stage of the stars, but the smiling young man standing on it was enough to attract the attention of many people.
What is even more striking is that both No.1 and No.3 come from a restaurant named Lin Lang.
"It's really amazing. Our No.1 and No.3 this year are both from a restaurant named Linlang," the host said in a blog post, but he also advertised Linlang.
The audience was equally astonished.
"I've eaten there, and it's really good."
"I haven't been there, but I'm going to go out to Linlang to watch my little brother soon..."
"Are their chefs so handsome?"
"The strength is strong, which means that it is really delicious."
"..."
"It's a pity, a handsome guy is a cook, so he probably went to some culinary school..."
"it's a pity."
"Unfortunately, if I'm not mistaken, he is the No. [-] student in science in City A this year, and he is studying in the Department of Business Administration of University A. Besides, what's the matter with the cook, it is said that he is Lin Lang's boss."
"Wait, there's a lot of stuff going on upstairs..."
The live TV broadcast is over, but there is still a post bar, which was originally a deserted post bar, but it is in full swing, and the discussions are incessant. After posting photos one by one, Assistant Zhang can only tell the boss in shame, "I'm sorry, boss, with our strength , Madam's appearance cannot be concealed."
In this society, if it’s just photos from the media, or photos sent by people in small batches, they can still delete them, but they can’t put a mosaic on the TV if it’s on TV. If people want to take screenshots, they really can’t do anything about it.
Of course, under the top secret, those people will not know anything except their appearance and school.
Shang Lu also knew that some people would notice the young man after participating in such a competition, but he did not expect that his attention could not be suppressed as easily as before. "Got it, be careful not to disturb his life."
"Yes, boss," Assistant Zhang decided to send extra bodyguards to the lady boss when she returned home. Anyone who tried to get close should not come within three meters.
Shu Xia went to the competition by himself, but when he came out, he saw Shanglu's car, he looked at Master Guo who was following him, and handed over the car key, "Master Guo, you drive my car back, remember to open it tomorrow." Just go to the restaurant."
After he finished speaking, he handed the car keys to Master Guo, and he had already walked to Shanglu's car in a few steps.
Master Guo held the key, looked at his slightly anxious behavior, then looked at the car that came to pick up people, and shook his head with a smile. The man who came to the restaurant was married, young man, so happy...
"Come to pick me up?" Shu Xia sat in the co-pilot's seat, isolated from the crowd outside, and asked with a smile.
"Well, seat belt," Shanglu said, starting the car.
"Well," Shu Xia tied it up with a smile, looked at the slightly dark sky outside and said, "But I can't go back now, I have to go somewhere."
"I know," Shang Lu was not driving in the direction of home, but turned on another road, and stopped at the entrance of a hotel under Shu Xia's puzzled look.
"What are you doing here?" Shu Xia asked, it couldn't be a room, could it?He pinched his brows, feeling very ashamed of his first thought, but it can't be his fault, isn't it normal to have thoughts with a beautiful man by his side?
"Meet someone," Shang Lu got out of the car, opened the car door for him, handed him a room card and said, "Go alone, I'll wait for you here."
"Oh," Shu Xia took the room card in a daze, and Shang Lu rubbed the top of her head. All the anxiety and doubts were instantly taken away by that big hand.
The elevator went up, and Shu Xia looked at the room number on the door card. When she arrived, she didn't use it directly, but knocked on the door. There was a sound of unlocking the door. Shu Xia looked at the person who opened the door, stunned for a moment, and smiled. He smiled and said, "Senior Xu, hello."
"Come on, come in," Xu Xiangqian threw away the doorknob and walked in with his hands behind his back.
Shu Xia hurriedly followed. He didn't say anything, and Shang Lu brought him here. Was this Mr. Xu really invited by the organizer?
