gourmet food

Chapter 1053 Ulla! ! !

While eating breakfast and thinking about the problem, Chu Yunfeng's meditative state was naturally noticed by Mu Qing, so she did not disturb him for fear of interrupting his train of thought.

Although he has upgraded three chef skills, knife skills, carving skills, and pastry skills have all reached the level of a senior technician, but the three skills of spooning, comprehensive skills, and physical fitness are still only technician levels.

Bounce and physical fitness have little impact on the current competition, but this comprehensive skill gives Chu Yunfeng a sense of urgency.

Especially after meeting Yamada Shoichi just now, there is always a bad feeling in my heart, which lingers in my heart, like a haze, which makes people a little depressed.

And President Hou and President Xiong's warning to him last night made his mood at this time quite complicated, and he even felt a little nervous.

It stands to reason that although I have never participated in a competition of this level, I am not as nervous as if I have never seen the world, right?

However, this bad premonition made me suddenly feel a little less confident. After all, the two strong opponents mentioned by the two presidents should have a chef level above senior technicians.

Is my true level really better than others?
Could it be that he underestimated the heroes?

So after having this uneasy feeling, Chu Yunfeng found that his mentality suddenly changed a lot, and he began to become cautious.

This gave me a sense of urgency to improve my cooking skills. It was indeed a sense of crisis coming, so my body could not help but produce conditioned reflexes, which made me nervous.

That should be it!
Chu Yunfeng had slowed down his eating of breakfast since he started to think deeply. Although it was mechanical, he only came back to his senses after the food on the plate was gone.

"Want some more? I'll get it for you!"

Mu Qing asked with concern. Chu Yunfeng was very moved by her appearance as a helpful wife. The two of them had an increasingly tacit understanding and knew each other's thoughts without opening their mouths.

"Get me another barbecued pork bun, thank you!"

After Chu Yunfeng waited for Mu Qing to leave the table, he immediately entered the system space and began to check his experience points.

1853 million!
There is still a little more than 3000 million yuan left before the upgrade. At first glance, it seems that it is not possible in the short term, but the golden treasure chest seems to contain a lot of money?
Would you like to try it?

In fact, Chu Yunfeng already had an idea before he came in. How could he just give it a try?
There are currently 7 treasure chests stored in the item bar, all of which are supreme treasure chests. This is the top treasure chest. It is not easy to save so many.

I had forgotten before that I was going to keep it for emergencies, but it seems that it should be able to play some role in the current situation, right?

Just depends on your luck?
This treasure box can be used to open anything. I have opened five-star items before, so I don't dare to underestimate this treasure box at all.

If 5 million experience points were offered, would he reach the maximum level and then beat everyone?

Cough!

It’s true that I thought too much!
Reality immediately gave Chu Yunfeng a blow in the head, and the cold voice of the system rang: "Congratulations to the host for gaining 100 million experience points!"

100?
It's not enough to fill the gap between your teeth.
After casually complaining a few words, Chu Yunfeng paused for ten seconds, and there was still something in it, just like when Guo Kui used to play games, he complained vigorously that he kept opening treasure boxes that were full of garbage.

But if you open it every once in a while, you can get a lot of good things. Although he just said it casually, Chu Yunfeng wrote it down.

So when the second treasure box was opened, Chu Yunfeng showed a surprised expression.

"Congratulations to the host for gaining 1000 million experience points."

Aha, 1000 million is here, it seems like it’s not much different, keep up the hard work!

However, the luck in the next treasure chest does not seem to be very good. It actually rewards study time?

Chu Yunfeng really wanted to complain about this unfair system. With the war coming soon, couldn't there be some bias and bias?

10 days of study?
Not too much, not too little, such a purple gold treasure chest can be opened.

The subsequent treasure chests also gave some experience points and learning time, but not much, which made Chu Yunfeng feel helpless and depressed.

There is only the last one left. I looked at the experience value and it seems that it is still less than 2000 million. However, the study time has increased and it now has more than 25 days.

The last one, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, that's it if it works or not. If you don't have that luck, just try your best. What else can you do?

I was originally planning to give up. After all, this thing depends entirely on luck. I get lucky and lose my life.

But the next second later, Chu Yunfeng immediately became ecstatic and wanted to hold the system and kiss it twice.

"Congratulations to the host for gaining 3000 million experience points!"

At this time, Chu Yunfeng suddenly felt that the sound of the system was quite good. Of course, it was good when it was powerful, and he must be praised for this.

Without saying a word, Chu Yunfeng immediately spent 5000 million to upgrade the comprehensive skills to senior technician. Seeing that there were still about 1000 million experience points left, Chu Yunfeng laughed and immediately withdrew from the system space.

After Mu Qing took the barbecued pork buns, she turned around and immediately saw the happy expression on Chu Yunfeng's face, and asked curiously: "Why do you suddenly feel that you are full of fighting spirit?"

Chu Yunfeng smiled even brighter, stuffed the bun into his mouth, took Mu Qing's hand and left.

I can't wait to participate in the competition right away, my hands are so itchy. After just upgrading, I have learned a lot, and I have the momentum to challenge the heroes in the world.

After arriving in the lobby, I called Hu Yue. This guy got up much earlier than me. It seemed that he was more excited than me.

But from his eyes, he could see that he was very confident in himself. If he knew that he was struggling just now, would he lose confidence in winning three consecutive championships?

President Xiong naturally got up early. This time, he was the leader of the Chengdu team, so the four of them walked towards the academy unhurriedly. Their destination was today's venue.

Before the competition starts, it is still necessary to speak, but I don’t know how long this time will take?
The Chengdu delegation had four seats, so the four of them found a place to sit down. They arrived a little early, but the venue was already almost half full.

It seems that many people are still very active, which also shows that everyone attaches great importance to this competition. Chu Yunfeng looked around, and the number of foreigners is still more, and the number of Asian faces is obviously slightly less. .

Looking around, he naturally spotted the figure of an acquaintance. Chu Yunfeng was slightly surprised that Masaichi Yamada had also arrived.

However, he did not sit in the front, but sat directly in the audience seat at the back. Saburo Fujiwara accompanied him, and Chu Yunfeng's sharp eyes also noticed the players competing this time.

These two people were sitting not too far away from him. They were a man and a woman. They had seen them at the airport, so Chu Yunfeng recognized them immediately.

The two of them looked very young, and the contestants sitting on both sides of them were much older. Judging from their sitting postures, they should be representatives of the other two cities.

I don’t know if they are in the same group?

Or is it that these two people are just smoke bombs?

Yamada Shoichi didn't actually release the people he secretly trained?

So how good are these two people's skills? I will keep a close eye on them when the time comes. By the way, there are also contestants from the other two cities who are the targets of my tracking.

Don't be careless!
President Hou will take the rest of the people to the competition site to collect some information secretly, and at the same time, everyone can watch the top chefs cooking up close.

You can learn a lot in this way, which is one of the reasons why President Hou wants to bring everyone here.

After a while, the lobby was filled with many people. At this time, the big names behind the rostrum nameplate were also in place. It seemed that the boring time was coming soon.

Chu Yunfeng also saw Ma Fu's figure in the judges' area. Although only a small number of people knew about Ma Fu's relationship with him, in order to avoid suspicion, Ma Fu did not come with him this time.

It is indeed not a good thing to get too close to the judges before the competition, so Chu Yunfeng and Ma Fu are both smart people and will not pass such information to others.

Moreover, Ma Fu also knows his nature and does not like things that involve fraud, and with his own strength, he does not need it.

The boring time has officially begun. Under the speech of President Zhao Hansheng, this year’s Master of Chef Competition officially kicked off!

Then Dean Lu Jiaxin welcomed the contestants who came from afar and continued to talk, and then some representatives of the judges came to the stage to speak.

I will omit tens of thousands of words below
After everyone had finished speaking, an hour had passed, and at 09:30 in the morning, the game officially started!
The first game, international cuisine!

After more than an hour, Chu Yunfeng was suffocated. Now he was finally able to relax. He felt brighter and left the venue to follow everyone to the competition venue.

It has to be said that the organizers are still very good at controlling the details of the competition. After all, there are so many contestants, so the venue of the competition is arranged in a large hall.

The competition location of each participating team has been fixed, and a sign has been placed in front of the temporary stove, making it easy to find.

it's here?
Chu Yunfeng and Hu Yue quickly found their place, and immediately went to check the knife on the kitchen counter.

If you need to use your own knife during the competition, you need to submit it to the organizing committee in advance, and the organizing committee will make arrangements for the players. You can't let the players bring in their own knives, right?
What if the security guard thought it was someone who stabbed someone with a knife?
Seeing his sword, Chu Yunfeng touched it gently, and seemed to feel that the sword was exuding spirituality, and seemed to be cheering.

Then the two began to check other utensils. It must be said that the organizing committee's arrangements were indeed in place. Not only knives and kitchen utensils were complete, but even ovens and other tools were available.

In international food competitions, the main thing is to compete in the production of Western food, so baking is naturally unavoidable. Even if you don't use it, other contestants will use it.

The kitchen counters for the competition are placed around the walls of the hall, so that it is convenient for the judges and visitors to have a glimpse of the superb cooking skills of the contestants.

Moreover, it can also save a lot of time for the judges during the judging process. After all, with so many people participating, time is still very important.

What made Chu Yunfeng a little curious was that in the middle of the entire hall, there were many tables put together to form a big table, and he didn't know what it was used for.

And until now, there are no ingredients on the kitchen table, so I have some guesses about the rules of this competition. Isn't it going to let everyone choose freely?
In this case, there will be great variables, right?

Sure enough, when Chairman Zhao announced the theme of this international food competition, all the contestants became restless. This time it was quite difficult!
"Through the voting of all members of the organizing committee this time, it was decided that the theme of this international cuisine is "art", and the contestants are free to choose the ingredients.

Of course, in order to increase the difficulty of the competition a little and to show off the superb cooking skills of the chefs, some changes will be made in the selection of ingredients.

Have you seen the table in the middle? Please ask the staff to bring the ingredients! "

Just after President Zhao finished speaking, Chu Yunfeng's guess was naturally confirmed. A number of beauties wearing cheongsam and with good figures came in with a smile on their face and carrying baskets of ingredients.

Then they placed these various ingredients on the table in the middle of the hall one by one, and then stood there with their hands crossed, which was very eye-catching.

Hu Yue's eyes widened, but she was patted by Chu Yunfeng: "The theme is art, do you have any ideas?"

Hu Yue, who was "wake up" by Chu Yunfeng, coughed dryly and immediately replied: "Then we still have to see what ingredients are there. The baskets of ingredients are all covered with cloth. Who knows what's in them?" Ingredients?

And maybe we will be notified soon to pick up the ingredients. Do you think everyone will choose slowly and in a friendly manner?
If you go slower, maybe I’ll just leave you some leftovers or something, give you a few rotten leaves, and you can still make flowers? "

Hu Yue's words make sense. Chu Yunfeng naturally thought of this key point. It seems that this organizing committee is quite good at playing.

Especially now that all the ingredients are covered, when everyone rushes in, they probably grab whatever they see, and there must be a lot of looting.

So now it is impossible to specify the strategy for making dishes. We can only have a general strategy and see what direction we should focus on.

Art?

This topic is relatively broad, and it should be said that the main scoring point lies in its sophistication.

So President Zhao went on to say: "This time there are four scoring criteria.

Food display: 20%.

Gourmet presentation: 20%.

Gastronomic innovation: 20%.

Fit to topic: 40%.

The competition time is one and a half hours, now we give everyone 3 minutes to prepare, and the competition will start as soon as the time is up."

Given 3 minutes!

This time is not long, and it feels a bit short. Wouldn't 5 minutes be enough?
This is obviously to increase the tension among the contestants. If they have low psychological quality, if they become nervous, not only will they not be able to get good ingredients, but their performance in cooking will also be affected.

It seems that the organizing committee has put a lot of thought into the schedule this time.

Real chefs would not be affected by these little tricks, and Chu Yunfeng was naturally not one of them. He quickly discussed it with Hu Yue.

The two of them whispered to each other and made constant gestures with their hands. With one minute left in the countdown, the two of them stopped communicating, and they were the first of all.

This naturally attracted the attention of the judges and guests, especially since the other contestants were still "plotting" nervously. These two handsome guys who stood upright naturally became the most noticed ones in the audience.
When the time came, everyone rushed forward
