Chapter 1212 A competition destined to fail?
"The game isn't over yet, why are people running away? Isn't this disrespectful to the game?"

"Yes, all the chefs in the competition have not left. He is the only one who left. Do you need to punish him for this?"

"Isn't the punishment necessary? The rules of the competition do not require players to leave the field. Besides, the punishment is too much, right?"

"I also don't think punishment is necessary. Look at the situation outside. If he doesn't leave early, it may be difficult for him to leave today. We have to be considerate."

"Yeah, after all, he's been a hot topic in the news lately, and his cooking skills are also there, so we have to judge with our conscience!"

At this time, all the scores of all the contestants on the field came out from the judges' table, and the discussion about Chu Yunfeng also became a little heated.

In the end, the three masters made the final decision.

"The cooking competition focuses on cooking skills, and everything depends on strength!"

"I agree!"

"I also agree!"

Seeing the three masters supporting Chu Yunfeng, some of the noise dissipated. Then, when the judges handed over the scorers to the organizing committee, they immediately started counting quickly.

In less than 5 minutes, the big screen at the scene began to display the scores of the players in this competition.

When the scores came out, many people present exclaimed.

"Oh my god, isn't this gap a little too big?"

"Boss Chu is indeed mighty. This score is an absolute reflection of his strength. It's so awesome!"

"I think there is no shady story this time, and there is nothing wrong with this score!"

"There's nothing wrong with the score, but I have a problem. Where did Boss Chu go?"

"What should I do if I want to receive the award later? Will Boss Chu come back?"

There was constant discussion at the scene. It can be seen from the big screen that Chu Yunfeng's name ranked first. The total score of this competition was 100 points, and he scored 99.8 points.

The score of No. 2 was only 91 points, and the winner was Yunyao. His dish was not controversial, and it was indeed quite exquisite.

No. 3 is interesting. With a score of 90.5, Hu Yue was on the list. When she saw that she was ranked third, she was very excited and clenched her hands into fists.

This was all due to Chu Yunfeng's selfless sharing, which allowed him to reach a very high level in making Kung Pao Chicken.

Especially the unique flower knife skill, he had practiced it for a long time under the guidance of Chu Yunfeng, and then he was able to reach the standard of entering the palace.

Looking down the list of winners, Guo Kui is ranked sixth. The dishes he made are the same as his own, but they are a little different in terms of knife skills and taste.

The judges definitely have sharp eyes, and they can detect the subtle differences so obviously. It seems that President Xiong and the others are also very attentive.

As for the rankings of other young chefs in the hotel, the gap is even greater. The top one is in the 30s, and the last one is in the 70s. It seems that they need more time to settle down.

This is the ranking of the young group, and the ranking of the middle-aged group is also out, but only one person will be selected, which means that the person ranked first can participate in the training of the national team.

However, when they saw the list for the first time, Wu Ma and Master Zhu sighed deeply, obviously there was no such chance.

Because Wu Ma was ranked third and Master Zhu was ranked fifth, they naturally missed out on this national team training session.

The person ranked No. 1 is Wang Xiankui. He is a senior Sichuan cuisine master and the executive chef of a five-star hotel in Chengdu.

Moreover, he also has a clear history of teaching, he is a classic successor of the Rong School, and he is also a master-level figure in the production of many traditional Sichuan dishes.

So when the results of the game came out, the candidates to participate in the national team training this time were also announced. There were four people in total, Chu Yunfeng, Yun Yao, Hu Yue and Wang Xiankui.

The chefs who did not make this list felt very sorry, but when President Xiong announced, the top fifty chefs on both lists would be invited to participate in this year's cooking seminar.

Some of the guests at this year’s seminar were also announced, many of whom were masters of Sichuan cuisine, which immediately caused a sensation at the venue.

For the culinary world to flourish, communication with each other is essential, and after seeing the talents of some young chefs, the older generation may even want to take on apprentices.

So naturally everyone was so interested in this officially sponsored event, and the official promise was fulfilled, making these young chefs very excited.

The chefs in the middle-aged group attach more importance to the Chinese and foreign cooking exchange meetings mentioned by President Xiong. They will go abroad to exchange cooking skills. This is the only way to increase their wealth.

If you come back with an award, there will naturally be many benefits.

So as soon as the results of the first day of competition came out, everyone immediately realized that what the officials promised before would definitely be fulfilled.

Therefore, the young chefs who will participate in the competition in the next two days are gearing up and working hard to get a good ranking.

Although you cannot compare with these masters, once you are found to have good culinary talent, you can still be selected to participate in various training and exchange activities.

Some are happy and some are sad. Those who did not get the ranking are naturally a little disappointed, but it stimulates everyone's fighting spirit. After this return, they must accumulate experience and strive to come back next time!
Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing watched the live broadcast on the way back. They were not surprised at their No. 1 ranking, and they were also sincerely happy that Hu Yue could enter the top three.

Participating in an international competition this time might be of great help to him, especially since his knowledge of Western food is no less than that of Chinese food, making him an all-around player.

It has a natural advantage when fighting in a group. If the two of them cooperate with each other, the quality of the dishes will be greatly improved.

And after such a long period of running in, both of them know how to coordinate the processing and production of ingredients, and their cooperation is definitely much better than others.

But I still have to be busy next. I have to complete major events in my life before going to the national team for training, and there is also an opening ceremony for the museum.

These things need to be planned carefully and implemented by yourself, otherwise you will not be able to feel at ease even when you go to the training camp.

Compared with Chu Yunfeng's excitement and expectations, the atmosphere of watching the live broadcast on the island country is not particularly good at this time, because Chu Yunfeng's performance is too good, so that the audience no longer has the previous arrogance arrogance.

Fujiwara Saburo has a very strong ability to observe people's emotions. After seeing Yamada Masaichi's disdain from the beginning and his silence later on, he also secretly guessed what he was thinking in his heart.

After watching the competitions of these eight major cuisines, except for Chu Yunfeng who has great strength, the other chefs basically pose no threat, but why is Yamada Shoichi still looking sad?
"My Lord, Chu Yunfeng is just one of the eight major cuisines. We have seen the strength of the other seven cuisines, and they do not pose any threat to us.

We won the international competition this time, and we were able to completely make them unable to hold their heads high. "

I thought that my words would be approved by Yamada Masaichi, but I didn't expect that not only did he not answer himself, but his brows frowned even more.

In addition, Ikeno Taro immediately sneered at his own statement: "Fujiwara-kun, we are going to completely defeat the Chinese culinary world this time, and we must not let go of every cuisine. Do you understand?"

Faced with Ikeno Taro's interruption, Fujiwara Saburo felt very unhappy. Recently, his position in the group has been improved and he is currently the third person in the group.

But you, Taro Ikedo, are nothing. You are just a member of the master's team. At best, you are just a top chef in one of the eight major cuisines.

He actually interrupted the conversation between himself and his master, saying that he had just tolerated it for a while before, but now that the competition is coming, he is handling all the planning and procedures himself.

And he succeeded in getting the host committee to change the rules of the competition this time. With this credit alone, his position in the group is unbreakable.

So in the face of Taro Ikeda's "cries", Saburo Fujiwara immediately responded: "Ikeno-kun, Chu Yunfeng will be dealt with personally by the Lord. Is it possible that you doubt the strength of our Lord?"

It goes without saying that everyone will understand who will fight Chu Yunfeng, but Yamada Shoichi has never said that he will fight in person. However, when Fujiwara Saburo said this, Ikeno Taro immediately wanted to bite him to death.

"Baga, you are slandering my respect for the Lord. You are deliberately changing the concept. You are dead."

Just after Ikedaro exploded, Yamada Shoichi seemed to wake up from his meditation, and then raised his hand to stop Ikedaro from continuing.

However, Taro Ikeno was obviously a little angry. Seeing Saburo Fujiwara's arrogant look, he cursed again: "Asshole, you."

"enough!"

Yamada Masaichi stood up directly from the tatami. After seeing this scene, everyone present buried their bodies and bowed respectfully.

Obviously seeing the displeasure on Yamada Shoichi's face, everyone did not dare to speak, waiting for his further instructions.

However, there didn't seem to be any movement. Instead, I saw Yamada Shoichi replaying the video and starting to watch Chu Yunfeng's game video again, especially when he slowed down the playback speed when showing off his knife skills and carving skills.

After a long time, Yamada Shoichi frowned deeply and said, "Tell me, did Chu Yunfeng also hide his strength from the beginning?"

Hmm~?

Hidden power?
This question is difficult to answer, because among the people present, only Fujiwara Saburo had witnessed Chu Yunfeng's strength throughout the whole process, and the rest of them had only had contact with Chu Yunfeng recently in Hong Kong.

Although he had seen Chu Yunfeng's previous matches through videos, he did not have a clear understanding of his true strength.

No one answered this question!

Yamada Masaichi shook his head helplessly. Even he himself had no answer to this question, so this was what troubled him the most.

"Fujiwara-kun, tell me!"

We could only name him. Yamada Shoichi wanted to know what everyone thought, so he was the first to name Saburo Fujiwara.

Saburo Fujiwara felt a little excited but also a little nervous when he was the first one chosen, which showed that he was highly valued by Yamada Shoichi, but this question was indeed difficult to answer.

Because in private, I had discussed it with Fujiwara Saka and Koyamauchi Jiro. Judging from the first match between the two of them and Chu Yunfeng, his strength at that time was still relatively young.

But since then, it seems to have been out of control. Every time I see him, he can make great progress, which is simply not a level that normal people can achieve.

To say that in just a few months, a senior chef can continuously cross several levels to reach a senior technician, or even a higher level of cooking skills, anyone who hears this will think it is a fantasy.

So the only explanation is that Chu Yunfeng's cooking skills were actually quite good from the beginning, but he was hiding it from the beginning. So what was his purpose in doing this?

Judging from Chu Yunfeng's "prosperity" process, it seems that there is no benefit to him hiding his level of cooking skills. If you think about it the other way around, it is that his talent is extremely high, which is why he has made such rapid progress.

But are there such talented chefs in the world?
To be able to rise from a low-level chef to a top chef in just about a year would be an exaggeration to call him a monster.

In all these years, I have never seen any chef be able to do this. It is absolutely impossible.

As for Yamada Shoichi, who is extremely talented in cooking, he is definitely a gifted person and can cook a lot of dishes at the age of five.

Since he was 12 years old, he has mastered the production of one cuisine almost a year. By the time he was 20, he was able to master all eight major cuisines. He is definitely a genius among geniuses.

But it took eight full years to improve the level of cooking skills to reach the top level.

Although Chu Yunfeng was only proficient in one series of dishes, it took so little time for him to reach the top level of cooking skills, which was no less than an earthquake for Yamada Shoichi.

His self-confidence will be greatly affected. This is due to personality reasons, because Yamada Shoichi's belief in cooking, which he cares about most, has collapsed, and he has begun to doubt his own talent.

So no matter how you answer it, you can't solve Yamada Shoichi's knot. Everyone knows that this is a very difficult problem.

However, what Chu Yunfeng and the others didn't know was that Masaichi Yamada's strength had reached its peak?

What is the concept of peak? It should be comparable to Chu Yunfeng's current knife and carving skills. It is definitely at the level of a chef.

But here comes the problem. In the beginning of the competition between Yamada Shoichi and Chu Yunfeng, he lost to Chu Yunfeng. At that time, Chu Yunfeng's cooking skills had not yet reached the level of a technician.

It's just that he's just average in his knife skills. If this is the case, it means that Yamada Shoichi deliberately let it slip. Is it still difficult to guess the purpose?

Of course, it is to confuse people and make them misestimate their strength. Therefore, all President Hou's current arrangements have no effect on them.
Facing the difficult question from Yamada Shoichi, Fujiwara Saburo's eyes flashed and he said solemnly: "My lord, judging from today's competition, I don't think his strength will surpass you.

Apart from knife skills and carving, other cooking techniques are still a bit unfamiliar, and there is a huge gap between him and his master. These are not gaps that can be bridged in a short period of time.

And the most important point is that Chu Yunfeng is only proficient in one cuisine. Although he can also make some dishes from the other seven major cuisines, he has only learned a little bit.

The master is proficient in the eight major cuisines, and the schedule between us and them includes single and team competitions. No matter which schedule it is, they cannot win.

So, Lord, please rest assured, under your strategizing, we still have a secret weapon that has not been released. When the time comes, adding this secret weapon will definitely surprise them! "

Faced with Fujiwara Saburo's explanation of "avoiding the important and taking the easy", both Ikeno Taro and Suzuki Michiko had to accept it. This not only took care of Yamada Shoichi's mood, but also stated an undoubted fact.

That was this international competition. No matter how hard Chu Yunfeng and the others tried, it was all in vain, and their failure was doomed.

After saying this, Yamada Shoichi smiled heartily, put his hands on his hips and burst into laughter.
As for the secret weapon mentioned by Saburo Fujiwara, everyone present laughed heartily.
