It is agreed that the 18th line will be top-notch?

Chapter 149 Gives Too Much
After the high-intensity emergency training, Lin Cao took Yu Hong, who was half dangling in a bucket of water, to the audition site of the God of Cooking Competition in Jinhai City.

After Zhu Tingwan's painstaking teaching and almost rote memorization of the cooking process, Yu Hong finally managed to master a few home-cooked dishes.

So the two went to the crowded audition site.

Although food variety shows have declined, there are still a lot of people who come to watch the fun or want to show off in front of the public.

Even if many people successfully pass the audition, they will not choose to pay for variety shows in the end, just for fun.

Therefore, many times in the audition stage, there will be many great gods that make people shine.

But when it comes to the stage of variety shows, there are actually more people fishing in troubled waters.

Yu Hong and Lin Cao arrived at the audition site and found that there were already many people waiting in line.They took the number plates, looked down, and saw that the serial number was 202, and there was still a long time before it was their turn.

Judging from the scene, the audition was divided into five groups.

Each group has three judges who decide whether to go or stay in the audition.

Of course, in addition to the five groups of judges with good food appreciation skills, the program team also ingeniously selected some guests from passers-by. Although they cannot directly influence the selection results, they can also make up for the poor sense of substitution in food variety shows to a certain extent. The problem.

As for how many of these viewers are entrusted by the program group, God knows what you know and I know.

But the problem is that it is only the 60th player's turn now, and it will take a long time to wait for the 202nd player's turn.

After all, cooking is not singing, and it can be over in a few minutes.

The requirements for the audition stage of "God of Cooking Competition" are relatively loose. You only need to make dishes that satisfy at least one of the judges within an hour to complete the promotion.

Enter the next round of auditions.

There are five groups of judges, but not every contestant will spend a full hour in the competition, so on average, one person will spend up to 10 minutes.

It will be their turn in about two hours...

"Let's wait." Lin Cao glanced at the selection site and found that the filming had already started.

The video of the audition stage can be used as tidbits or episode 0 to warm up this variety show in advance.

Yu Hong nodded: "Okay..."

As soon as he finished speaking, several messages popped up on his mobile phone. Wechat, SMS, and the contestant app of "Master of Kitchen" sent messages almost at the same time.

"Contestant No. 202, Mr. Yu Hong, please go to the No. [-] judging panel and wait!"

"Ah?" Yu Hong was stunned for a moment, and quickly handed the phone to Lin Cao, "Brother Lin, it said that I will be the next contestant!"

how so fast?
Didn't they all come in order before?

Lin Cao was also a little weird, but after confirming that the news was true, he didn't bother to think too much, and took Yu Hong to the No. [-] judging panel and waited.

Of course, the two of them didn't know that they were able to jump in line directly, and the credit was all on a certain unscrupulous boss who secretly made some kind of secret deal with the program team in the company.

During the audition stage, Yang Ruoqian had already contacted the program team, asking them to pay special attention to a contestant named Yu Hong, and gave him the green light to go all the way to the finals of the audition stage.

The program group is also very straightforward, asking 20 yuan for a buy-it-yourself price.

Of course, Yang Ruoqian was not satisfied with this price, so he asked for a series of special treatment, such as being able to jump in line after receiving the number, for example, if the cooking time was overtime, he could deliberately set the clock slower and other black-box operations.

After all, if Yu Hong's cooking speed dropped a little because of nervousness, and he failed to prepare the dishes on time and was eliminated, Yang Ruoqian would be dumbfounded.

After going on variety shows, there are more places to spend money.

After 10 minutes of bargaining, the two parties reached a deal of recommending Yu Hong's show at a price of 35 yuan.

At this time, in front of the No. [-] judging panel.

"Please invite player 202 to come on stage!"

Yu Hong suddenly became nervous, walked forward quickly, and bowed to the judges: "Hello everyone, I am Yu Hong, contestant No. 202, and I usually like to cook some home-cooked dishes. Have some surprises."

Most of the judges in the audition are invited from the Internet and major restaurants.

The person responsible for the selection of Yu Hong is an Internet celebrity food blogger with millions of fans, a chef from a well-known restaurant, and a contestant who participated in the "Master Chef Competition" last time.

The three judges nodded slightly.

Today they have tasted more than a dozen dishes served by amateur chefs, and eight of them are inedible.

It's hard to swallow, not unpalatable.

Among the few unremarkable dishes left, they intuitively chose a few that were barely passable, and sent them an invitation letter to the next stage of the audition.

Being a judge like this is simply mental torture...

"So, what are you going to serve us today?" the food blogger asked.

Recalling Master Zhu's teachings in his mind, Yu Hong took a deep breath and replied, "I'm going to cook a home-cooked dish today, steamed pork with rice flour!"

Several judges nodded: "List all the ingredients you need, and then get ready to start."

What Zhu Tingwan taught was simple and not easy to make mistakes, which can cope with auditions.

Neither Yu Hong's knife skills nor the way of pickling the ingredients are professional, but he is methodical and the steps are clear.

After all, Yu Hong started cooking this dish almost as soon as he arrived at the company, and he could repeat the whole process even with his eyes closed.

Looking at the busy Yu Hong, several judges on the stage also quietly communicated.

"It should be a novice in the kitchen. You can see that he is actually very unskilled in using many kitchen utensils."

"However, the way of cooking is still okay. It should be learned for a while before participating in the competition."

"Even if this dish can pass this audition, it will probably be a round trip to the next competition...The test in the future is all about comprehensive strength."

"..."

After 55 minutes, a dish of tamales that looks delicious from the outside is ready.

Yu Hong confidently put the plate on the selection table.

The three judges looked at the color of the dishes, and the anxiety in their hearts was immediately resolved.

Just now, the three of them were forced to eat sour pure green bacon, which left an extremely serious psychological shadow.

At least this dish doesn't look unpalatable...

The three picked up the bowls and chopsticks, picked up a small piece of meat, put it in their mouths, chewed it, and tasted it.

The seasoning is not bad, but the heat is not well controlled, and the meat is a little tough, which makes the pork belly a little greasy.

A little less water was added, which made the rice noodles on the surface a little too dry.

The potatoes on the bottom were not soft enough.

After a few judges tasted it, they looked at each other—this dish belongs to that kind of dish.

Not tasty, but not bad either.

To sum it up, it's okay.

Just when the three judges were hesitating, a familiar voice suddenly came from their earphones - the person in charge of the program group.

"What do the teachers think of this contestant's cooking?"

Astonishment flashed across the eyes of the judges. This was the first time they heard that the program group directly cared about a certain contestant.

Before Yu Hong jumped in line, they thought it might be a system error.

But now it seems that things are not that simple.

The judges considered the words and said, "It's not bad."

"Then give this guy a chance?" The voice came from the earphone again.

"..."

really.

It turned out to be a related household.

After all, the judges had to rely on this variety show to attract traffic to their own accounts or restaurants, and to gain popularity. Although they were unhappy, they still did not refute the organizer's opinion.

"Congratulations, contestant Yu Hong, you have successfully advanced to the provincial audition. Here is your invitation letter."

"Congratulations, I will continue to work hard in the following games."

"congratulations."

Yu Hong, who didn't know the inside story at all, was pleasantly surprised, stepped forward, and accepted the invitation letter solemnly.

"Thank you to the judges, thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

The judges were all a little speechless—shouldn't it just be a formality, or should it be so ceremonial?

Lin Cao, who was on the side, stepped forward, patted Yu Hong on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, we won the first battle. But don't relax, the subsequent games will be more difficult every time, and we must not let down Mr. Yang's trust." ,do you know?"

"Understood, Brother Lin!"

……

On the last day of the month, the second round of auditions begins.

After a few days of devil training, Yu Hong handed his favorite dish, braised pork, to the judges in charge of the second round of audition, anxiously waiting for the trial.

"It feels a little sweet, what do you think?"

"His mastery of the heat is not bad, but he feels that his basic skills are average. He probably specializes in this dish and came here for the audition."

"Ordinary, it's not good or not, I personally feel that it's passable."

"I feel like I have to be eliminated in the next round."

"Yes, the last round of audition is a national audition, and it is a two-two PK competition system."

Several judges were discussing when a voice suddenly came from the earphones.

"Zizi..."

"Several teachers, this young man is not bad, give this young man a chance."

The judges were speechless for a moment, and shook their heads after a few seconds, and handed the final audition invitation letter to the nervous Yu Hong.

"……OK."

……

Kuiguang Company, President's Office.

"Mr. Yang, congratulations! Yu Hong has successfully entered the national finals of the audition!"

Yang Ruoqian received Lin Cao's news of the good news on his mobile phone.

Yu Hong passed two tests in a row and successfully advanced to the finals of the audition. As long as he passed the audition, he would be able to appear on variety shows and TV, initially entering the public's field of vision.

"Nonsense, I spend money all the way, up and down, if I can't pass the audition, it's really ridiculous."

This kind of show that the audience can't judge by any means, but the judges have the final say?
However, Yang Ruoqian, who had paid all the benefit fees to the program group in advance, didn't care too much about it.

Because today is the first settlement day of the 2.0 version system!

"Hurry up and go home and see how much money I can make in the first quarter!"
