Mondecar looked down at the vegetarian braised pork in front of him. There were pieces of maroon meat on the green rapeseed. It was hard to believe that it was made of konjac and Hericium erinaceus, because even the aroma So realistic.

Mondecar picked up a piece of braised pork with his serving chopsticks, and some sliced ​​bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and rapeseed. He took back his chopsticks after making sure that he hadn’t missed anything.

If it's someone else's cooking, he won't bring all the ingredients, but Gu Bai is still different.

Mondecal picked up a piece of vegetarian meat and smelled it, the rich meat smell came out, even the feeling on the chopsticks was very similar to meat, with a heavy feeling, the soup was stained on the meat, It is also very thick when you look at it, and you can tell that the taste will not be too refreshing.

Mondecar couldn't wait to swallow the piece of meat in one gulp. It's better to eat one piece of this dish in one go to taste the taste of the dish.

As soon as the vegetarian braised pork was in his mouth, Mondekar realized that his previous guess was wrong. He thought that this dish looked like meat at most, and it would definitely taste different. The braised pork that I have eaten before is similar.

The skin of the meat is slightly burnt, but it is a little smooth and tender. The fat meat is not as melt-in-the-mouth as real meat, but it has a refreshing feeling after eating. It is more delicious than fat meat. After all, he ate some fat meat just now , It's already a bit boring.

The lean meat has a bit of chewiness, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes. Especially this chewing, you can also taste the aroma of Hericium erinaceus, which seems to be absent, and the sense of presence is particularly strong.

Mondecar looked at the food left on his small plate, felt that he was careless just now, so he picked up a piece, but Gu Bai made quite a lot of vegetarian braised pork this time, so Mondekar didn't continue to pick it up, Instead, I ate shiitake mushroom slices and bamboo shoot slices. The shiitake mushroom slices were smooth and tender with a meaty flavor, smooth and delicious. Although the bamboo shoot slices also had soup, they were extra crispy and delicious.

As for the small rapeseed at the end, the cabbage heart is very tender and sweet, and the aroma of the meat dipped in some soup makes it even more crisp and sweet. It just neutralizes the strong taste of the vegetarian braised pork.

Looking at the soup on the plate, Mondecar suddenly remembered the assorted fried rice that Gu Bai made before, if there is rice to eat with this, the taste should be even better.

But the most important thing right now is not this, but...

Mondecal quickly picked up another piece or two of vegetarian braised pork. Of course, he didn't forget to add sliced ​​shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots. The taste of these two ingredients is also very good, especially when he ate so much just now. I desperately need to eat some vegetarian dishes to refresh myself.

The judge who did this is not only Mondecar, but even the other judges couldn't help but eat a little more, but not as blatantly as him. After all, there are quite a few of them. If each of them took away three yuan, then It's probably too much.

But I said eat less, but I didn't eat much less. Finally, I reluctantly put down my chopsticks, and several judges began to comment on this dish.

First of all, the novelty of the dishes is indeed an innovation in terms of the theme. Although it may not be considered an innovation in Chinese food, it is already considered good to be able to do so in the arena.

The second is the taste. The judges are still very strict. Since the theme is meat, even if it is a vegetarian dish, it must be meaty, so that it matches the theme. Gu Bai's vegetarian braised dish The meat is obviously done very well on this, with a rich meat flavor, and real meat may not be so delicious.

As for the presentation, it's not that amazing, it's quite satisfactory, but with the first two points, Gu Bai's final score is still very high, temporarily ranking first.

The reason why it is said temporarily is because there are more than a dozen chefs who have not finished, and the chefs behind are also very competitive.

And soon, Gu Bai saw the strength of the other chefs. The chefs who served the dishes in the back had higher scores, and some even had higher scores than Gu Bai.

When the score came out, many viewers were a little surprised. After all, some people had been following the game for a long time. In their eyes, Gu Bai had almost no opponent, but now, it seemed that there was an opponent.

Gu Bai wasn't too surprised, when he looked at him before, he found that the other party was unusual, very calm and confident, even when he looked over, he didn't look up at him, but concentrated on cooking.

The other party cooked a roast chicken, which seemed much more homely compared to the dishes made by other chefs, but it was this home-cooked roast chicken that won the highest score on the scene. The skin of the roast chicken was crispy and the chicken was tender and smooth. Not too far away, Gu Bai could smell the aroma of this chicken. The other party added black pepper, thyme, etc. for seasoning. The original flavor of the chicken is very pure, but it is not lacking in salty aroma.

Even before seeing the evaluation given by the system, Gu Bai knew that the level of this roast chicken was very high, but now that the other party has finished it, after seeing the level, Gu Bai knew that he guessed right, the level of this roast chicken is SS class.

The grade of this vegetarian braised pork cooked by Gu Bai is also SS grade, which can be said to be comparable, but Gu Bai feels that one of the judges seems to be a little biased, which is not obvious, but when he is rated, it is regarded as The lowest of the six judges.

Of course, it’s not too low, and the other party’s reason is justified. The vegetarian braised pork will have a fragrance of hericium erinaceus at the end of the meal, and the taste of konjac is also refreshing, without the feeling of melting fat. It's all due to the limitations of the ingredients themselves. After all, what he does looks like, but that's not it.

As for the point deduction, Gu Bai had no reason to justify it, because the other party was telling the truth, at most it was a little harsher than the other judges, and it was harmless.

However, when facing Thomas, the other party's attitude changed again. Gu Bai's perception of emotions is very keen, and his attitude is much better when he realizes that the other party is Thomas. He made up for it, and then gave the other party a higher score.

If there is no Gu Bai's keen emotional perception ability, it is not particularly strange to just look at the other party's behavior. At most, it is the habit of personal scoring. You can't say that the other party is cheating, because this preference is the defect of using people as judges. Exist naturally.

Unless something is too obvious, it will be difficult to find out, or if you find it, it will be difficult to provide evidence, because this is completely arbitrary.

Because of this incident, Gu Bai couldn't help but observe a little more, and found that not only that one judge, but even the other judges seemed to have their own preferences. It's actually not obvious, but it can be seen from a comparison. .

Gu Bai believed that he was not the only one who saw it, and probably other people could also see it, but they didn't seem to have any reaction.

Gu Bai was a little dazed, it was the first time for him to experience such a thing, after all, it was also the first time for him to participate in a competition.

After the competition, Gu Bai won the No.1 result. After all, the taste of the vegetarian braised pork dish he made is really good. There is nothing to say, and the score is also very high. Among the people after that, except for Thomas, No one ranked ahead of him, but next to him was Angus, and Wang Xiuquan took the sixth place.

When Wang Xiuquan saw his ranking, he couldn't believe it. After all, this was the highest ranking he had ever gotten. Even if this ranking might change in the final, the worst would be to fall to the [-]st place. Eight went, which surprised him very much.

Answering the lounge of the Huaguo team, everyone else looked beaming. After all, this is the first time that the Huaguo team has two chefs rushing to the quarterfinals in these years. Even judging from today's game, Gu Bai seemed to be able to Hit the top three.

In the previous preliminaries and semi-finals, even if Gu Bai won the first place, it does not mean that he can break into the top three, because it was like this in many previous World Chef Competitions, the first in the preliminary rounds, sometimes not the top three, Maybe he didn't even make it to the top eight, because sometimes it might be luck, and he got a dish that he was very good at in the previous theme competition, and his strength and luck went hand in hand.

But later on, I encountered people who were not very good at it. No matter what level of cooking skills they had, there were always some dishes they were good at and some dishes they were not good at, because it was compared with themselves, and it was difficult for any chef to be perfect.

This result simply surprised them. Although they said before that they wanted Gu Bai to enter the top three, it was not a dream. It might come true or it might not. But now, the hope is much greater than before.

They were not only happy for Gu Bai, but also for Wang Xiuquan. This was Wang Xiuquan's last competition, and he was able to win the top eight. Even in front of outsiders, Gu Bai's glory might be partially covered by Gu Bai, but in the industry, Wang Xiuquan's achievements also made them gratified.

After all, Gu Bai is considered a separate category in the chef circle. Few chefs would compare with him. Most people don't have Gu Bai's talent and ability. Comparing with Gu Bai will only make him feel too heartbroken, but Wang Xiuquan is different. , the other party is an old chef, whether they are peers or juniors in the circle, they are very familiar with Wang Xiuquan, and they have a sense of substitution.

In the face of other people's congratulations, Wang Xiuquan subconsciously wanted to say a few words of modesty, but the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed, and because he successfully passed the semi-finals, his face was flushed, so he could only accept it.

But at this moment, Wang Xiuquan realized that something was wrong with Gu Bai's mood, and the smile on his face became a little lighter. He couldn't help but worry about Gu Bai. Wang Xiuquan was very self-aware, and today's dish was a double blessing of luck and strength. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to achieve this result. As for hitting the top three or winning the championship, it is up to Gu Bai.

If Gu Bai's mood is not right, it is obviously not good for the next game. Don't look at it as just an emotional problem. With the current intensity of the game, a small mistake may cause Gu Bai to usher in a defeat in the game.

Although he hasn't read the outside news yet, Wang Xiuquan knows that everyone must have expectations for Gu Bai. If Gu Bai disappoints other people's expectations, the situation may calm down after a while, but after he just failed During this period of time, the reaction was definitely violent.

Wang Xiuquan glanced at the others, and instead of asking them face to face, he grabbed Gu Bai while the others were resting, and asked him what was going on.

If at other times, Wang Xiuquan would not be so straightforward, his character is destined to be more tactful, but soon, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will usher in the semi-finals and finals of the team competition, Gu Bai is one of them The soul of the team, if the other party has a problem, the team competition will also suffer.

The timing of the team competition is different from before, mainly to make the individual competition the last of the entire competition, because the individual competition is the most anticipated competition for all audiences, and the individual No.1 will always be the most popular. People paid attention to it, even the team competition didn't attract so much attention.

So there is no time to delay at all, if Gu Bai has not recovered tomorrow, there will be a big problem.

After all, Gu Bai's previous performance has raised many people's expectations. If it's just that he lost to others in strength, then there may be fewer people talking about it, but if it's because of Gu Bai's problem, there will definitely be a lot of gossip. I'm a little worried for Gu Bai, whether the other party can bear it, and this is not only the pressure from outsiders, Gu Bai himself will also be under pressure.

Hearing Wang Xiuquan's question, Gu Bai recovered from his contemplation. In fact, his emotional problems were not as serious as Wang Xiuquan thought, and he was just thinking about how to win the championship.

But now, Gu Bai has thought of it, or he can't say he thought of it, he can only say that he recalled his previous thoughts, that is to make his cooking skills go further.

No matter what monsters, monsters, dangers and obstacles, they are not worth mentioning in front of absolute strength.

Even if the judges are biased, so what, from the performance of the judges, Gu Bai can see that they dare not really do it too obviously, as long as the difference in strength is large enough, it will be useless to be biased.

But when Wang Xiuquan asked this question, Gu Bai was silent for a while, and said what he discovered just now: "Master Wang, those judges' scores are a bit biased, you should have noticed it too?"

Wang Xiuquan didn't react until he heard this, and when he saw Gu Bai, he remembered that he forgot to tell him about it. After all, although Gu Bai was young, he had a high status in their hearts, and they all subconsciously thought that Gu Bai knew about it. , I forgot to tell him that if Gu Bai hadn't mentioned it, Wang Xiuquan would never have thought that Gu Bai was upset about it.

Wang Xiuquan could understand Gu Bai's thoughts very well. He remembered that he participated in the World Chef Competition for the first time, and when he discovered this problem, he felt the same as Gu Bai at that time, aggrieved and bored, and even a little bit aggrieved.

Even though Gu Bai didn't say what mood he was in, Wang Xiuquan had already brought his own mood into it.

After Gu Bai finished speaking, he realized that he might not have any emotional problems, but Wang Xiuquan's emotions were a little bit wrong, the deep and intense emotions were obviously wrong.

Gu Bai yelled a few times before Wang Xiuquan pulled out of his memories, realized his state just now, Wang Xiuquan gave a wry smile, and told Gu Bai the reason for this situation.

In fact, it is very simple. The World Chef Competition was held by Bernard, and the opponent was a foreigner. In addition, in the first few sessions, Huaguo had no chefs to participate in the competition, and the influence was weak, so the influence of Western countries in the competition was very large. The judges and chefs are basically Westerners.

Although with the development of the times, Huaguo has also become stronger and more influential, but it will take time to play a role in these competitions after the national strength is strengthened.

Because the standards are set by others, and the judges are based on the standards of the other party. If you want to climb hard in other people's places, the difficulty is not ordinary

And many judges are a bit biased when facing chefs from their own countries, or Western chefs, not just one or two, but most of them. This is a problem left over from history.

"In fact, this year's improvement is very good, but the judges' questions may take time." Wang Xiuquan said with a smile.

To be honest, Wang Xiuquan felt very happy that he won the sixth place, but to be honest, Wang Xiuquan felt that he was happier knowing that he could cook Chinese food in the competition without being discriminated against.

After all, the former is his personal joy, and the latter is the joy of the Huaguo chef who came to participate in the competition later.

While Wang Xiuquan was talking, he didn't forget to pay attention to Gu Bai's face, and found that the other party's face improved, obviously he was enlightened by himself, and he was relieved.

For tomorrow's competition, Gu Bai and others have discussed it. The organizers of the semi-finals and finals have not given out the themes, but they have also prepared a few more pre-selection plans, in case they bump into each other.

After the discussion was over, Gu Bai also went back to rest. As soon as he came out, Li Yanchuan was waiting for him outside the door. Seeing him coming out, the first thing he did was to look into Gu Bai's eyes. The darkness, unconsciously let go.

He really knows Gu Bai too well, so when Gu Bai's mood changes on the field, he is keenly aware of it. He wanted to call Gu Bai before, but the other party left with the team members, so he didn't come to bother him. up.

"Ah Bai, how's the discussion going?" Li Yanchuan took Gu Bai's hand, they live nearby, they don't need to take a car, they can get home in a few minutes, and it's easier to relax after walking.

"I guessed what the theme of the team competition is, but the specific situation depends on tomorrow's competition." Gu Bai said casually. Originally, the difficulty of this betting question was a bit high, but the theme of this competition is basically the type of ingredients. It's much easier to guess on the type side.

But even if you don't guess right, it's okay, at most, you have to spend more time tomorrow.

Li Yanchuan paid attention to Gu Bai's expression. Hearing what he said, he swallowed back the comforting words he had prepared. Gu Bai didn't need him to say anything at this time. If he did, it might remind Gu Bai Things that made him unhappy before.

But even if he didn't say anything, Gu Bai wouldn't be able to tell, he held Li Yanchuan's hand with his backhand, shook it lightly twice, and said, "Don't worry, I've already thought about it, even if it doesn't go well, it's okay , as long as one's own strength is strong enough, that unsmoothness is at most a small bump in front of him, and it will pass easily."

Gu Bai is still a little confident in himself. After all, his competition today is not without gains. Maybe it's because he watched too many other chefs cooking and listened too much. Gu Bai faintly felt that he would make a breakthrough.
