Chapter 1418
Need to take action?

Chu Yunfeng was naturally aware of the scene of Yamada Masaichi getting up. The reason why he actively showed a communication attitude was more because he wanted to test.

To be honest, being good at dancing is not her strong point. That is what Mu Qing is good at. She prefers to stay in the kitchen and cook instead of having too many social interactions.

But now I am not only the captain, but also responsible for the future of the Huaxia Culinary Team. Therefore, the greater the responsibility, the heavier the task.

So is Yamada Masaichi going to respond to his actions, or does he have other plans?

While Chu Yunfeng was talking to everyone, he focused part of his attention on Yamada. As soon as he stood up, two "entourages" immediately followed behind him!
Sure enough, he responded to himself!

I saw that Yamada Masaichi also started to walk towards a national team captain, and after giving out a business card, the other party was stunned at first. The name on the business card looked very strange.

But after his entourage explained it for some reason, the captain's eyes showed a hint of surprise, then surprise, and finally he became warm.

Not only did he take the initiative to reach out and shake Yamada Masaichi, but he also started chatting enthusiastically. Chu Yunfeng thought about it and couldn't guess how they became so close.

With the passage of time, Chu Yunfeng gradually discovered that these captains were indeed very unfamiliar with Yamada Masaichi, and they had never heard of this character before.

But every time the two attendants behind him simply said a word, everyone's reaction was the same, which made Chu Yunfeng feel puzzled.

And it was with this action that the whole audience began to become active into two small groups. Judging from the number of people, the two small groups had about the same number of people, which was considered to be an evenly matched situation.

Chu Yunfeng took time to find Peng Yue and asked him to inquire about the situation, and he received a reply after a while. It turns out that Yamada Masaichi's name is still very famous!

Chairman of Sanyuan Co., Ltd.!
At first glance, it sounded nothing worth paying attention to. Chu Yunfeng had never heard of the name of this company, so he asked Ma Fu for a question, and now he understood why this guy had gained so many contacts.

It turns out that this is a multinational food company that provides ingredients to many foreign catering companies, especially seafood ingredients. Their supply volume is not low.

Therefore, many foreign restaurants are their customers. Many of the team captains who came to compete also open their own restaurants, so naturally they are no strangers to this company.

Good guy, it's quite hidden. But it's hard to say how long this relationship of interest can last, but it's enough for Yamada Shoichi to get out of the circle tonight.

Chu Yunfeng was also considerate of Mu Qing. He had just arrived and was already busy helping him socialize. In addition, tonight's warm-up was almost over, so he apologized to everyone and started eating with Mu Qing.

As soon as Chu Yunfeng returned to the dining table, everyone clapped their hands, but they didn't clap their hands firmly, and didn't make a substantive sound, but everyone smiled happily.

The first silent battle should be said to be a victory. Yamada Shoichi was forced to accept the challenge. If it weren't for the name of the president of the company, he would have completely lost the popularity battle that Chu Yunfeng provoked tonight!

"Try the Thuringian sausage here. It tastes quite authentic. It will taste better if you add some ketchup!"

The considerate Chu Yunfeng was immediately lamented by Peng Yue and others. Chu Yunfeng's strong attack just now increased everyone's confidence.

Mu Qing then continued to experience the unique cheese noodles and German beef rolls here, while Chu Yunfeng and Ma Fu discussed something in low voices.

Especially at Yamada Shoichi's base camp, the moment Saburo Fujiwara, Taro Ikeno, Michiko Suzuki and others saw Ma Fu, their eyes were full of fire.

Naturally, they eventually figured out the matter about the private detective, and the most angry ones were Ikeno Taro and Suzuki Michiko. Maybe Ma Fu was "appreciating" their howling every night for two months.

This especially made the two of them feel angry. At this moment, Chu Yunfeng and Ma Fu were talking very intimately together, which made people even more angry and wanted to throw the wine glass over.

"When will Ilarion and Mileth Mort arrive?"

The two people Chu Yunfeng mentioned in a low voice are also old friends. In Rongcheng, they went into the attic and tasted the feast prepared by Chu Yunfeng. They admired and appreciated Chu Yunfeng's cooking skills.

So everyone got acquainted with each other over time. This time Ma Fu mentioned the fairness of the competition judges to the two of them, and both of them expressed support.

"They didn't arrive until early tonight. We can meet up tomorrow morning!"

While eating delicious food with a fork, Ma Fu puffed up his cheeks and replied that there is no need to pay attention to his image in front of Chu Yunfeng. The light in this open-air restaurant is dim, and others can't see his bad image.

"Forget it if we meet before the game, lest others think we are ganging up or even trying to affect the fairness of the game, we will go to the venue early tomorrow morning to draw lots. Let's forget it.

When the game is over, I’ll treat them to dinner, a big meal! "

When Chu Yunfeng mentioned the big meal, Ma Fu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Boss, they are really in luck, these big meals of yours are something I will never forget.

So many palace dishes and retro dishes have made me gain weight a lot during this period. Fortunately, I exercise more, otherwise I would have gained at least [-] pounds! "

"Just eat if you like. Maybe you can still eat it in this competition. I think there will be a lot of it. We'll see!"

The fork in Ma Fu's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, he nodded thoughtfully, and then continued to stab the fork at the steak he had just cut.

What kind of situation this final battle will play out is still uncertain. If it goes as Chu Yunfeng expected, the food battle is certain.

So once that happens, the decisive battle will definitely be earth-shaking. It is not an exaggeration to call it the most awesome battle in history, so the audiences who come to participate will definitely be in for a treat.

Every year, tens of thousands of spectators come to visit, and they are also fortunate to be able to taste the food made on the spot, so this is one of the reasons why Masakazu Yamada and the others set the final battle in this competition.

When the audience is wide, the coverage will be stronger, so the youth team game on the last day will definitely attract everyone's attention.

After dinner, the Huaxia team was the first to leave the restaurant. When they left, everyone did not look to the other side in a tacit understanding. It was obvious that they did not take their opponents seriously.

Yamada Shoichi doesn't seem to care too much about this. He still enjoys this attitude. The more proud he is, the harder he will fall in the last fall.
It was a rare moment to enjoy the warm world of two people. This was the first time that Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing lived together in nearly a month. Neither of them wanted to go to bed early.

So I sat by the bay window, looking out at the starry sky through the glass, and chatting about some topics that interested everyone.

For example, prepare some clothes and toys for the baby, and take them to sit and "rock" when they are old. However, as she talked, Mu Qing's head "dropped" involuntarily!
Chu Yunfeng immediately said jokingly: "Well, thank you for agreeing with my opinion, then let's do it!"

"Fuck you, I'm a little sleepy, go to sleep!"

Mu Qing patted Chu Yunfeng gently, and then hurriedly slept well to recuperate!

Early the next morning, after having breakfast, all the teams went to the competition venue to familiarize themselves with the environment. Once everyone was able to enter, the teams from 35 countries gathered within 10 minutes. !

In fact, this morning is not the time for group reports. The real time for group reports is in the afternoon. In the morning, the list of judges is selected, but this list needs to be drawn.

And 30 judges were selected from the 9 candidates. Of course, Germany is the home court, so Hoffman was directly selected, and the remaining 9 needed to be determined.

How can the countries and team members who come to compete not care about such things? After all, different judges have different scoring methods. If the list of judges is confirmed, the details of some dishes will also change.

Take the very famous French judge Auguste, for example. He is notoriously strict, especially when it comes to scoring dessert dishes. The assessment is quite strict.

The melting temperature of chocolate must be considered, so players who were not familiar with it before suffered a big loss. Only after more experience did everyone gain experience.

The Italian judge Diadona is also a person that no one can ignore. He pays close attention to the details of cold dishes to the extreme.

For example, if the weight of the snack required for the competition is between 10 grams and 20 grams, if it is slightly more than 1 gram, then I'm sorry, this score will definitely make you doubt your life.

So that's why everyone paid so much attention to the judging session in the morning, and no country would not care, which is why everyone gathered together very quickly.

Chu Yunfeng was also very confused. The lottery in the morning actually didn't take much effort, and the sign-in ceremony could be done by the way. Why did it have to be in the afternoon?

Well, many Chinese people can’t understand the way foreigners are handled. If you are in China, if everyone is here, you can do it directly. If you don’t do it, believe it or not, so many people will complain to you directly?
The venue of the hotel is very large, even if it accommodates 35 national teams, it is still very spacious, and the notarization of the draw is taking place in the middle.

In order to maintain fairness, the lottery process was certified to avoid fraud, so the process went slowly. After the notary confirmed it, the lottery process started on site.

A total of 30 balls were put into the box, and Crystal, the chairman of the organizing committee, drew them. The 30 balls were numbered 1-30.

Which judge the number corresponds to has already been listed, and 30 judges, including Ma Fu, Hilario, and Milleth Mott, are standing under the rostrum and waiting.

Chu Yunfeng looked up. Crystal looked a bit old, but he seemed to be in good spirits. His gray hair could not hide his agile movements. He quickly hit the first ball. out.

With the number 5, he raised the ball he took out and handed it to the staff, and the judge corresponding to this number was August. When he stood among the judges and started to raise his hands, it immediately caused a commotion at the scene.

If it weren't for the purpose of leaving a bad impression on the organizing committee, many members of the national team would probably want Chairman Crystal to draw another one.

This is simply a smelly ball, the kind that smells bad.

"August!"

"It's August again!"

"I hate August!"

"Why August!"

Although everyone is complaining, the facts have already happened and complaining is useless. This frightens some team members who are not very good at dessert dishes.

The lottery was still going on, but fortunately, I had good luck in the subsequent draws, and I picked out a few judges that everyone liked, and the next one made Chu Yunfeng shrink in his eyes!
A judge from an island nation made Chu Yunfeng sneer in his heart from the moment he bowed deeply and the little mustache on his face.
Then there was another commotion at the scene. Diadona was chosen. This judge, who is known as an extremely strict data devil, made everyone feel nervous again!

Then there were still two balls left, and Chu Yunfeng began to become slightly nervous. Couldn't he miss the 1/10 chance?

It was true that they were worried for what they were, but Ma Fu and the others were still not drawn, which made Chu Yunfeng narrow his eyes. In fact, he was not worried or afraid at all in a fair competition.

The most speechless thing is these guys who don't follow the rules and play dirty tricks. They will do anything without a bottom line in order to win.

Take an international diving event for example. The other judges all gave perfect scores, but he got a low score, and it was much lower. Wasn't this intentional?
So the fists in Chu Yunfeng's hands were somewhat clenched. It was the last ball. Grandpa, white-haired grandpa, please give me some strength!

Silently reciting the "spell" in his heart, just after the old man pulled out the last ball, Chu Yunfeng saw a guy in a straight suit among the judges raise his hand.

He immediately let go of his hands and showed a bright smile on his face, secretly thinking that the judges' score this time was really interesting.

Yes, Ma Fu raised his hand!

It would be interesting to have Ma Fu staring at each other. As long as you dare to intentionally score low, then let's play together. At worst, we will be sent off together, so that the game can still be conducted fairly.

So when someone from their side was selected before, you could clearly see the joy on the faces of the group, but now that Ma Fu was selected, this immediately made the group extremely angry, and they seemed to want to protest immediately.

But I can’t seem to find a reason. What effect does this protest have?

Yes, yes, Ma Fu has made a meritorious service. He is so lucky. I must reward him well later!
After seeing that the lottery was over, the players on the field immediately dispersed, and everyone began to wander around the venue to familiarize themselves with the venue in advance.

The competition items in this competition are divided into six items, namely individual culinary art project, group competition buffet project, hot dish kitchen project, on-site fruit and vegetable carving project, chef’s table project and sugar art display project.

Among them, the hot food kitchen is the competition event on the last day of the youth team. The competition lasts for one day. This is the real team competition, and it is also the most comprehensive test of a team's overall strength.

A total of 35 national teams participated this time, but in the end there were only 12 youth teams. After all, the age requirements are indeed relatively strict.

Very few chefs of this age group can meet the requirements of the organizing committee, so this is why the number of youth teams is so small.

Just when Chu Yunfeng was familiar with the venue, he was tapped on the shoulder again, and then he heard a very familiar word: "Let's go, I will take you to meet someone."
