Chapter 1419: Invincible from the beginning
This time, there is no need to wait for the chairman to say that Chu Yunfeng knows who he will meet. Naturally, it is the chairman of the main committee, Crystal, who is already surrounded by many people.

This old man looks quite old, but he doesn't look old at all. His gray hair is meticulously taken care of, which further highlights his old and healthy state.

Without too much politeness, the President-elect found the opportunity and went straight to the point: "Mr. Chairman, please allow me to introduce a young talent. This is Chu Yunfeng from China, a very talented chef. He is also the captain of the Chinese team this time!"

Before Chu Yunfeng could introduce himself or say hello, he immediately noticed that Crystal's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she made a very enthusiastic expression and immediately extended her hand.

Huh~?

Such an action naturally attracted the attention of many people around him. You must know that when everyone came to greet him just now, they only maintained a superficial politeness.

But the level of enthusiasm for Chu Yunfeng has exceeded too much. What is it about this person that makes Crystal value so much?

The answer was soon revealed. When Chu Yunfeng's hand quickly reached up, Crystal immediately smiled and said: "I know you, they call you Mingqing Chu. Last time in the Hong Kong Global MasterChef Competition, you But it won three first places.

Young people are very good! "

What Chairman Crystal said personally was certainly true. When the people around him looked at Chu Yunfeng again, their eyes were different.

The competition in Hong Kong can be considered a very large international event. Although it is not as influential as the Olympic Culinary Competition, it is still a very high-level competition.

Being able to perform a "hat trick" in that kind of competition fully demonstrates Chu Yunfeng's culinary prowess. No wonder he was noticed by Mr. Chairman.

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This time I brought the Chinese team here with the aim of being first. I hope to have the opportunity to win all the awards!"

hiss~!

As soon as Chu Yunfeng said this, the mood of the people around him immediately became complicated. Don't they all say that Chinese people are very reserved? When did they speak so openly and straightforwardly?

Doesn’t this look like the Chinese style?
This tone is really big, want to get the first place in all awards, are you kidding me?
Let’s not talk about personal awards. This is the highest level cooking competition. There are so many experts coming here, no one dares to say that their cooking skills are the best in the world.

There are also group events, which are not as simple as he thought. The most important thing is team cooperation. Individual heroism cannot help the team achieve good results.

But Crystal appreciated such confidence. He immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Then congratulate you on your success!"

After Chu Yunfeng thanked him, he waited for the president to continue chatting with Crystal for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

"You performed well just now. You should show off your momentum when you go out. People outside China can't understand Huaxia's subtlety. The more confused you are, the more they will think you are weak.

Only by attacking forcefully can they understand what you want to express, so don't be polite this time and let them see how powerful we are! "

These words immediately made Chu Yunfeng couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, I can't help it. Who made me the captain? If I don't act stronger, when the results of the competition come out, others will think that we bribed the judges. Woolen cloth!"

Haha~!

President Hou burst into laughter instantly. Chu Yunfeng was obviously making an insinuation. Those little devils from the island country seized the opportunity of the reform of the organizing committee and came up with a schedule for the youth team. Is there anything fishy in this? Who has it? Can you know?

In short, the strong strength is here, and no amount of intrigues and tricks are useless. Now that the judges' matter has been settled, with Ma Fu watching, everyone can compete with confidence.

"Have all our ingredients passed the test?"

As the two of them walked outside, Chu Yunfeng asked. This was very crucial. According to previous experience, everyone was not very clear about the rules when they first entered the competition.

So that time, we sent people to inspect the local ingredients, and finally came to the conclusion that the local ingredients were not suitable for making Chinese food, so the Huaxia team brought their own ingredients to every competition.

Of course, these ingredients must pass the inspection of the organizing committee and can only be used after passing the test. Most of the ingredients selected this time were carefully selected by Chu Yunfeng, and they were all prepared.

As soon as he mentioned this, President Hou couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "You don't know, I just got up and received a call from the organizing committee. Do you know what the other party said?"

Hmm~?

The confused look on Chu Yunfeng’s face actually made President Hou smile even more happily: “They said that our Huaxia team sent the ingredients to the wrong place, how could there be such a large quantity.

The other party suspected that our entire team had to provide three meals a day by ourselves! "

Haha~!

Chu Yunfeng could imagine that the person in charge of inspecting the ingredients would be stunned when he saw such a huge variety and quantity of ingredients. This is also well-prepared, not only the ingredients, but also a lot of special tableware.

"No way, I guess the last hot dish item"

After Chu Yunfeng said this, he stopped talking. After the two walked out of the gate, they found a secluded corner. After Chu Yunfeng looked around, he continued the topic just now.

"How about, can they keep our ingredients secret? There are a lot of ingredients sent over there, right? They shouldn't have thought that we would find flaws in the amount of ingredients they sent, right?"

After asking three questions in a row, President Hou's expression became more and more exciting, and his expression became even more teasing.

"You have done a great job in this matter. We can already make it clear that the other party will definitely fight a tough battle with us this time. Fortunately, you have the foresight, otherwise we would be too passive."

President Hou's face was filled with joy, and then he immediately remembered something and continued: "Don't worry, Oak and I are old friends, he will definitely help us with such a small favor.

Therefore, how many ingredients we sent will not be disclosed. Besides, the little devils would not have thought that we would send so many ingredients.

However, the fact that they sent so many ingredients has already been known to us. We can see the opportunity first, but we will not be caught off guard. "

Chu Yunfeng's eyes narrowed, everything was basically within his expectation, so now that everything is confirmed, let's get started!

In the afternoon, the official report began. Chu Yunfeng led the ten national team members into the venue. The rest of the informal players watched enviously as they walked into the core circle, and had an interview with all the national team members who came to participate this time. Follow the registration procedures.

After the afternoon's process is completed, the cooking competition will officially open tomorrow morning. The entire competition lasts for five days. The first day's project is also the only individual competition project - the individual cooking art project, with three small projects competing. .

In addition to this project, the other team competition buffet projects, on-site fruit and vegetable carving projects, chef’s table projects, sugar art display projects and hot dish kitchen projects are all team projects.

The rules of each project are different, especially the sugar art project, which not only needs to show superb skills, but also needs to be innovative in the technique.

And this project has very strict assessment regulations, that is, the weight of the finished product must be within the specified number of grams. Points will be deducted for one more gram or one less gram, so the difficulty of the competition is not that simple.

The sugar art project is actually the most difficult for the Chinese team, because the concepts and methods of making desserts in Chinese food are very different from those in Western food.

In this kind of international competition, the judges have more recognition for Western-style dim sum, while the concept of Chinese-style dim sum is less recognized by the judges.

This is actually caused by cultural differences, but this cannot be blamed on the judges. It can only be said that China did not get a share of the rules when it was formulated, so it can only adapt to the rules itself.

After the registration ended that afternoon, Minister Wang led everyone to hold an internal mobilization meeting. At the end, Chu Yunfeng briefly and impassionedly spoke a few words, which completely aroused everyone's passion.
The next day, the opening of the conference was naturally ceremonial, so when someone came on stage and started speaking, this Olympic Culinary Competition officially began!

Personal culinary arts project!

Time: two hours!
The requirements for dish presentation are very simple and are not limited to a few dishes. You only need to use the dishes to express what you want to express. This kind of open-ended requirement is actually the most difficult.

It is very possible that a dish can express a distant artistic conception, and the dish is amazing enough, so there will definitely not be much problem in getting the first place.

But when others make several dishes and combine them into a series, then the concepts expressed by others are more profound and the artistic conception is more far-reaching, so it is naturally self-evident who wins.

Therefore, based on past competition experience, making a series of dishes is the safest.

Since it is an individual competition, everyone participating will have a separate operating room, and the organizing committee is really generous, everyone has a separate glass room.

The advantage of this is that the chef is making the dishes inside, and people outside can watch and clearly see all the chef's movements.

In addition, the judges can also see the chef's production details through the glass, and judge and score. In addition, everyone's actions outside will not affect the chef inside.

When everyone came to the venue yesterday, they were already familiar with the venue and were informed of the details of the competition by Hoffman. Hoffman was elected as the chief judge and his work was very meticulous.

As soon as the competition started, many contestants became nervous.

When cooking in a glass room, the contestants are under great pressure and feel anxious and anxious. On the outside, they appear calm and calm, but their heavy heartbeats are drowned out by various tedious operations.

But there was no pressure on the Chinese team or even Chu Yunfeng at all. Instead, Peng Yue and the others received great surprise and satisfaction.

Peng Yue: "Finally I can get rid of the hellish training. I'm free, buddy. I don't have to worry about being beaten with a spoon. I can do whatever I want, la la la la la..."

Wu Junjie: "Haha, I am a chef like the wind now. I can finally show my fantastic ideas with my own hands. Little devils, get ready to tremble!"

Beibei: "My fiery temper has opened your eyes today to what a passionate and unrestrained work can be."

Song Shaochen: "Today is the first game, so let's get to know the power of the Chinese team. Don't be bibi-y after we win all the medals!"

Hu Yue: "Brother Chu must be a combination of Chinese and Western. I can't play with this. Since he has locked up the first place, then I will take the second place..."

……

The ten members of the Chinese team behaved differently from other players. They were obviously much more active than other players, which immediately made the people in the organizing committee feel the very different "style" of China.

It wasn't that I had convulsions, but that I was too excited. It was a bit like being locked up for a long time, and suddenly I was let out, and then I felt like I was letting myself go.

Crystal, the chairman of the main committee, was walking around the scene with a group of people at this time. Suddenly, he saw a high gathering in an area, and everyone was discussing something.

"What's going on over there? It seems to be the Chinese team's area, right?"

The person next to me quickly replied: "Yes, the Chinese team is in that area. It seems that everyone is very interested!"

"Let's go over and have a look!" Crystal seemed to be interested. She saw more and more people gathering in front of her. This was just the beginning. If she didn't go there, she might not be able to squeeze in!
I originally planned to walk in a circle, but when I saw that the Chinese team area seemed very lively, Crystal immediately suggested it. I also wanted to know what these players from China used to attract everyone.

It is impossible to say that the glass kitchen of the Huaxia team is not attractive. First of all, looking at the ingredients in the kitchen can make people exclaim.

The kitchen tables of all the team members were not only filled with Western food ingredients, but also a lot of Chinese food ingredients, but these only aroused a little interest.

What really aroused everyone's curiosity and attention was that each of them chose one or two large ingredients, either a big pumpkin or a big radish.

There are also different colors of radishes. The big green radish and the big white radish look very big. Even the carrots are not small. They are obviously specially selected.

The Huaxia team brought all their own ingredients for this competition, so there is no problem with whatever ingredients the chef wants to use. Of course, there can be no problems with the ingredients themselves.

For an event of this level, the organizers will not use ingredients to limit the chef's cooking skills. Instead, they want the chef to fully demonstrate his superb skills through the dishes.

If there were constraints on the ingredients, then everyone would not be able to see the exquisite skills, and the competition would not be so exciting.

So in the first game, the Huaxia team is going to let everyone see the unique "martial arts" carver. If you want to say that Huaxia's carver is second, it is estimated that no country will dare to say that it is the first.

As for "over there"?
This first competition must be about making their own country's dishes, so they won't tell everyone right away that we can actually make Chinese dishes, and we can make a lot of them, and you can't catch up with us.

And the first round is also a very good opportunity to find out the reality of the Huaxia team. After all, it is impossible for them to abandon the Chinese style and use the production methods of other countries.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Chu Yunfeng had discussed with everyone a long time ago. During the first competition, everyone lowered their culinary skills by one level, or even two levels.

As for some non-professional processing techniques, there is no problem even if you lower it by three levels. As long as it does not affect your points, then just do it and let the other party be confused!

But even so, the Chinese team's superb, fast and agile
The cooking techniques fascinate everyone who passes by, especially Chu Yunfeng. His speed is so fast that people can't see clearly.

So when more and more people gathered, Mu Qing, Wu Ma and others who had been standing here to watch quickly protected Mu Qing and stood far away, which made Mu Qing a little depressed.

My man is too attractive. This is just the beginning.
