The news about the production team of "Sky Mirror" was like a flash in the pan, and the production team quickly quieted down. Shi Chengyan, who was full of competition, quickly put this matter behind him.

Early the next morning, the two drove the old man to buy groceries before going to the competition site.

The venue for the competition in Bei'an City is an open-air stadium on the outskirts of the city. Because they went there early, the scene didn't look crowded.

Even so, at a glance, there are hundreds of people standing in twos and threes.

Needless to say, all their competitors.

Shi Chengyan and Xue Zhen randomly found a team with a slightly smaller number of people and lined up, and then each took out their mobile phones and started playing.

The two of them still had a little talk in the kitchen, let's forget it when they come out.

The speed of the team is not too fast, so eight out of ten people are playing with mobile phones, which can be regarded as the current situation of contemporary people. Can not do without.

The cool wind in the morning at the end of November was already a bit bitter, and Shi Chengyan's clothes were a little thin, and she didn't feel it when she was indoors or walking around, but now it seemed a bit cold to stand directly like this.

Shi Chengyan stood on the spot and stretched his muscles, and even missed his costume in the crew of "Sky Mirror", which really made him feel much warmer just thinking about it!

After about half an hour, their slowly moving queue finally had Shi Chengyan's turn.

At this time, there were already more contestants lined up behind Shi Chengyan, and the number of online registrations of more than 4000 people was no joke.

Although it is outdoors, the event officials have formally prepared a face-swiping punch-in machine and on-site production of the competition certificate. The whole process is relatively fast.

Shi Chengyan swiped his face, verified his ID card information, and here he was still registering his personal information, and there was a staff member using the ID photo he provided to make a competition certificate stamped with the official seal on the spot.

The personal information to be registered is relatively uncomplicated, just simple personal information, other than what kind of cuisine you are good at, working time, and the current restaurant you are working in, all are related to occupations, unlike some places where you need to register an interest Nonsensical questions like hobbies.

The cuisine is the Sichuan cuisine of Shi Chengyan. Although Fuyuanlou is not a Sichuan restaurant, Shi Chengyan is still influenced by the old man in this respect. He himself also likes spicy food, so his personal style is still biased towards Sichuan cuisine.

As for the working time, Shi Chengyan hesitated for a moment, but still planned to fill it in according to the actual situation.

It's three months at most.

Naturally, Cheng Yan, the master of the restaurant, filled in Fuyuan Building-chef according to the agreement with Li Hongde.

The person responsible for guiding him to register here is a young girl. When Shi Chengyan walked over just now, she really couldn't help but look at him a few more times. She who was a little tired because of getting up early suddenly regained her energy.

A good day starts with seeing a handsome guy, and she's doing it again!

But it's obvious that this girl doesn't know much about cooking and the culinary circle, otherwise she will find out how strange Shi Chengyan's form looks.

That's right, it's weird.

Just looking at this face, which doesn't affect his appearance at all even if it is taken as an ID photo, some people would guess that he might want to show his face through the live broadcast of this show and make his debut as an Internet celebrity.

When you see the working time, you will be more convinced of this guess.

But when I saw Fuyuan Building all the time, I became strange.

Although Fuyuan Building has become more and more commercialized in recent years, so that many picky eaters no longer frequent it, its status in the industry has not diminished. Although there is no business for these picky eaters, However, it has more traffic from foodie netizens, and it is even more popular than before.

However, even if the requirements for chefs are somewhat lower than before, they will not be much lower. How did such a young person who has not been in the industry for a long time get in?

Not a small worker, but a chef who can handle the spoon.

It’s impossible to talk nonsense on purpose. After the next few rounds of people are less, the official will contact the person in charge of these restaurants one by one to verify the information, and the fraud will eventually be exposed. This was mentioned in the statement.

But this girl didn't understand much, so Shi Chengyan didn't get too much attention in the first level, and the whole process was done in less than 10 minutes.

The same is true for Xue Zhen, the girl also doesn't know Chengluju, so naturally she doesn't know the gold content of Xue Zhen, the chef.

It is estimated that most of the staff at the scene today are young men seconded by the Culinary Association. After all, there are ten competition areas. The Culinary Association itself has a small number of people. It's cool.

I don't know whether it's because of the strong foreign aid or the association itself has capable people. Anyway, there are so many people at the event site that it is well organized, and there are no crowds caused by crowds.

It was indeed a very wise decision to choose the stadium as the venue, and compared to cooking, it must be fired. With so many people, it is safer to do it in an open outdoor place.

That night, Shi Chengyan, who had completed the registration process, received another notification from the competition official.

The content of the notice this time was much more specific. Not only did it mention the location of the audition, but it also divided all contestants into batches of 200 people for the preliminary audition according to the serial numbers generated during on-site registration.

"The content of the preliminary competition is actually a written test?" Shi Chengyan was stunned.

Forgive him for not seeing the world, this is the first time I heard that there is a written test in the cooking competition.

Xue Zhen didn't think there was anything strange, and said, "It's normal. Many chef competitions or research certificates require a written test, but don't worry, it's generally common sense that anyone who goes to the kitchen often can know. It’s embarrassing, it’s probably intentional to take it out at this time, there are really too many amateur contestants who signed up for this competition.”

In fact, according to the original arrangement, the preliminary competition would start cooking, otherwise the stadium would not have been selected as the competition venue.

However, for things like cooking competitions, it's really hard to come up with a formal and fair threshold as a limit.

Now, of course, everyone is standing on the same starting line, and whoever is the best will move forward, not sticking to who is the successor of which master, everything depends on ability to speak, and those who are capable, even amateur contestants, are treated equally.

The title itself also clearly stated, "Youth Cooking Competition, even if the other party is not in this industry, you can't deny the other party's cooking skills."

Shi Chengyan and Xue Zhen arrived earlier that day, and both of them were numbered more than 200, because they were lined up in the same team, with a difference of more than ten numbers, and they were respectively numbered 266 and 288. It looks good.

The first two hundred people started the exam at 45:15 in the morning, and the time was [-] minutes, with [-] minutes in the middle for substitutions, so the two of them had the one at [-]:[-].

-

Since their exams were arranged, Shi Chengyan didn't need to go to Fuyuan Building anymore, because his temporary cheap master was also abducted back to Chengluju by the way.

Although the first test was just a written test, considering that Shi Chengyan had just changed careers not long after all, the whole Chengluju joined forces to give him all kinds of basic knowledge that often appeared in various written tests.

Fortunately, his memory has not degraded, and his digestion is fairly smooth.

In the early morning of December [-]st, Shi Chengyan learned his lesson and deliberately wore a slightly thicker dress, but it was only when he got to the place that he realized that today was a written test, which seemed to be conducted indoors.

Shi Chengyan: Mistake!

The written test went very smoothly. It was indeed just like what Xue Zhen said, it was just some basic knowledge. If you don't even know this, there is really no need to continue to participate in the competition.

When signing in to make the entry certificate that day, nearly a thousand of the more than 4000 people in the Bei'an competition area knew that they had no hope and didn't come because they thought it was troublesome. Today's wave is estimated to eliminate a large number of people who join in the fun and Trying it out with a fluke mentality.

The rest should be more or less basic knowledge of cooking, even if this is the case, the number of people is estimated to not be too small.

After all, in Huaguo, food is the most important thing for the people. The restaurants all over the street are all Chinese chefs. It is hard to say that there is no Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Sure enough, after the first round of written examinations, there were still more than 500 people left at the scene, far exceeding the initial number of preparations.

So another round of competition called "Knowing the Taste" was added.

As the name suggests, it is to identify the taste. The official program team will make some dishes in advance, and then divide these dishes into small portions and mark the serial numbers. When the time comes, [-] contestants will enter, and then the lottery will start, and they will receive their own according to the serial numbers drawn. After each dish, the contestants began to taste the food with different serial numbers at the same time, and then told which ingredients and seasonings were in the dish.

Those who can accurately name two-thirds of the ingredients will be able to successfully advance to the next round.

This is far more a test of a chef's skills than the first round.

The second round started on December 14th, and there was still a long period of time for the players to prepare, and they could do targeted training at home.

It is also from this round that each competition area will officially start live broadcasting simultaneously on Station B.

After all, the first round really didn't look like a chef competition.

"Knowing the taste?" Xue Zhen couldn't help frowning as he watched the content of the competition.

This level is a bit difficult for him, and it has nothing to do with strength, but taste recognition is a test of talent, and tongue skills are really not that easy to cultivate. After all, not everyone has taste aids like Shi Chengyan.

He really didn't expect that the difficulty had been raised to such a level in the second round.

But thinking about it, this is a large-scale competition with nearly 4 people signing up across the country, so it is normal to have such difficulty.

"It seems that this year's competition is indeed more interesting than some similar programs in previous years. It is not so easy to know the taste. I remember that there is still room for improvement in this aspect, right? I remember that I could see it when I was young. I have a bit of talent, at that time I made any dishes that he didn't like, and I ate them immediately." After Shi Qingya, who originally planned to go with the juniors, heard the latest competition arrangement, he became interested.

Xue Zhen: Why are you talking about this guy's childhood again!

----

Because he aroused the old man's interest, Shi Qingya also took over the task of giving them special training.

During this period of time, Li Hongde did not return to Fuyuan Building, but directly invited his old man back to sit in town.

Anyway, the back kitchen of Fuyuan Building is not like Cheng Luju, who can't turn around without one, usually as long as there is someone who can hold things under control in the back kitchen.

In order to train their ability to recognize taste, Shi Qingya brought his creative ability to the extreme. When he was preparing "teaching materials", Shi Chengyan and Xue Zhen were not allowed to enter the back kitchen, but Li Hongde followed the old man, A lot of exciting ideas came out.

As a chef of Sichuan cuisine, Shi Qingya gave full play to the characteristics of this cuisine, adding the spiciness to the extreme, and then reduced the other seasonings appropriately, and changed some of the ingredients, so when the finished product was presented in front of the two of them , it is not any dish they know at all in memory.

Although it also looks very appetizing, half of the bowl is full of chili, which is very appetizing at first glance.

Shi Chengyan and Xue Zhen sat on both sides of the table, each with a small bowl, with a pen and paper next to it.

After the tasting, the two people wrote down the taste they ate on the paper as quickly as possible, so as to avoid the effect of training due to mutual influence to the greatest extent.

Shi Chengyan allocated a portion from the bowl to his own bowl, from the soup to every ingredient, and put a portion into his own small bowl.

At the beginning, Shi Chengyan didn't eat it first, and Shi Chengyan flipped it quickly with chopsticks, and after confirming most of the ingredients that were visible to the naked eye, he tried it in the mouth.

Shi Chengyan didn't dare to go straight down with the chopsticks so sincerely, but picked out as much chili and Chinese prickly ash as possible before putting it in his mouth.

Even so, the first impression of the entrance is still a word.

hot!

It was very spicy. At first, I couldn't feel other flavors except for the spicy taste. Even Shi Chengyan, who can eat spicy food, almost turned his eyes red.

Slowing down a bit, Shi Chengyan quickly took another bite.

After finally getting used to the spiciness, other flavors came later.

The main ingredients should be bullfrogs. The legs are specially selected and the extra bones are also processed, so at first glance it looks a bit like garlic fried peppers, but it doesn't taste that way at all.

The slightly tightened bullfrog legs are soaked in spicy oil, and the flavors of various spices and side dishes that have been hidden deeply are finally slowly emerging.

After eating a few more mouthfuls, Shi Chengyan quickly poured a mouthful of ice water and began to write after she was sure that it was almost done.

The pen in Xue Zhen's hand over there was also moving quickly.

It looked like they both had results.

After the two of them stopped, Shi Qingya took the answers of the two of them and started to read. He had to react while reading, which made the two feel a little uneasy.

Pressing his reddish lips, Shi Chengyan was really helpless, his stomach was not very good, just after eating spicy food, he couldn't hold back and drank some ice water. It won't hurt in a while, or the old man won't be able to hide it.

"I've read all your answers, and the accuracy rate is still very high, and everything written is correct, but..."
