Chapter 1425: Take the risk?
During the lunch break, many people in the Huaxia team were baffled by the feedback from various aspects. As soon as they turned on their mobile phones, they could see that the Internet was overwhelmingly filled with news about the Huaxia team.

Originally, this cooking competition was held in Germany, and the domestic media reported very little, and the number of people paying attention was also very small, but now a very magical phenomenon has appeared.

That is, the contestants received calls one after another from their old classmates, relatives and friends. These calls came to inquire about the status of the competition and encourage everyone to cheer up.

When participating in such a competition, players usually tell their families or close friends, but isn't it strange that so many people suddenly tell you that they are paying attention to you?

So as soon as the abnormality was discovered, the team members who were still having dinner became alert.

"Is this the start of action? We haven't even moved yet!"

"It seems that Brother Chu is still very powerful. This wine makes them unable to restrain themselves, but I still don't quite understand. What are the benefits of doing this?"

"The other party can't be an idiot, right? This is the first time I've seen someone help promote an opponent. They are so funny!"

"It's not right, I always feel that there is some conspiracy in it, I can't take it lightly!"

"The other party won't be so kind. They are definitely digging a hole for us!"

Chu Yunfeng was meditating while eating. He did not comment on everyone's discussion. Like everyone else, he still didn't quite understand what the other party's routine was.

Soon, Minister Wang came to the restaurant. When everyone was about to tell him about this, they didn't expect him to say in advance: "Everyone should know it, right? Hurry up and eat. Let's have a meeting after eating."

I'll go to the hotel conference room to wait for you. The discussion is suspended and everyone has a good meal! "

Minister Wang's words immediately made everyone realize that the matter might be much more serious than they thought, and the restaurant where they ate was open, and the topics discussed could be heard by others.

Seeing that everyone understood, Minister Wang nodded and left, and everyone also accelerated their eating speed.

In the meeting room!

After everyone arrived, Minister Wang got straight to the point: "Everyone knows what happened, let's talk about it, what do you think?"

In fact, when everyone first came in, they found that the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit solemn. The leaders of the team had serious expressions and were still discussing in low voices.

Naturally, everyone has ideas, and Peng Yue was the first to raise his hand and said: "I have two immature opinions. First, if the other party suddenly helps at this time, there must be a conspiracy.

Second, judging from the current publicity intensity, it is still unclear whether it is aimed at us as a whole or as individuals. I think this direction is very important! "

Uh~!

How should I put it? Peng Yue's words were somewhat said but not said at all, but Minister Wang was noncommittal and began to ask other people's opinions.

Everyone's opinions were similar. In short, no one got to the point. They didn't have a clear and definite view on what the other party's conspiracy was.

After everyone had finished speaking, Minister Wang asked Chu Yunfeng, who had been deep in thought: "Xiao Chu, come here, tell me your opinion!"

Suddenly everyone's eyes were turned to Chu Yunfeng. He was the captain and had just won the championship. Everyone's morale reached a peak when they received the award in the morning.

Chu Yunfeng had been thinking about Yamada Shoichi's purpose from the beginning. At this time, he had just gained some insights, so he immediately replied: "I have roughly understood their purpose, which is to promote us higher." .

The higher you hold it, the harder it will fall. Otherwise, I really don’t understand why they would do such a thankless thing. "

No one had thought of this just now, but Minister Wang and others nodded in approval. It was obvious that they had also considered it.

Seeing that his opinion was recognized, Chu Yunfeng pondered for a moment and continued: "Secondly, I think Yamada Shoichi was confused by us.

He probably didn't expect that we improved so fast in less than a month, and we were able to cover it up so well.

Therefore, after this game, he should have concluded that they had a chance to win, so in this last final, they had firmly secured the victory.

All we need to do is defeat us, who are the center of attention, and the momentum created by the media will definitely become a weapon to overwhelm us, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

It is conceivable that once our call to win the championship reaches its peak, if we fail, it will definitely cause everyone's disappointment, and the negative impact it will bring can just set off their greatness.

So I now guess that this last final is an unprecedented tough battle. For those teammates who are still close to breaking through, you must seize the opportunity and break through as soon as possible!
Otherwise, our last battle will definitely be quite difficult. Through my observation today, the opponent's strength is very well hidden, and there is no trace of China in their cooking skills.

But don’t forget, Taro Ikeno and Michiko Suzuki have cooked Chinese cuisine in Hong Kong competitions before. These two are top experts in Shandong cuisine and Cantonese cuisine.

Although we have not had contact with the other few, they are by no means ordinary people. What I am most worried about now is that they are very familiar with the dishes of the eight major cuisines. Maybe they can cook more dishes than us? "

hiss~!

The more Chu Yunfeng analyzed, the more incredible everyone felt. Did the other party really have such a profound background?

Minister Wang and the others also exchanged glances, thinking that Chu Yunfeng's analysis was more reliable, so everyone continued to discuss for a while and then the meeting ended.

The soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth. In addition to reminding everyone to pay more attention during the game, he also continued to look for opportunities to break through. Secondly, Chu Yunfeng continued to look for opportunities to train everyone in the evening.

There was another sugar art demonstration project in the afternoon, but it was not over yet. Today's competition was a bit intense, and there was another one in the evening.

This is the competition of the three items of the individual culinary arts project, culinary arts, cold cuts and desserts. These three are all individual events, but are collectively referred to as individual culinary arts projects.

The preparation of cold dishes is very special. The contestants must make it in the kitchen all night. They must go to the exhibition hall early in the morning to set up the booth and prepare for demonstration. Their imagination and perfect operation can fly side by side.

The jury will score based on the skills, creativity, performance and taste of the works. The more fierce the war, the more lively the scene, but the time span is very large.

Just imagine that the first day has just begun, and there are fierce competitions going on all day long, and they have to stay up all night at night, which is a great test for the physical and mental strength of the contestants.

So this is why since the birth of this competition, no player has been able to win the championships in these three small events at once.

Among the champions of three minor events, only one player has won two first places over the years. Winning a Grand Slam is not that easy!
Making cold cuts should be the easiest competition for Chu Yunfeng. Once he uses his two trump cards, it will be difficult not to win first place!

The first is diving pickles. You can soak them the night before and enjoy them the next day. No one can resist this appetizing delicacy.

Especially after the judges have tasted so many dishes, a little sour and crunchy kimchi will whet their appetite again. Such a magical experience will definitely be quite addictive.

The other one is the nine-color box. Once such a beautiful and invincible Sichuan dish is born, these amazing dishes will definitely fascinate everyone.

And Chu Yunfeng was also well prepared. This time it was ninety-nine eighty-one. Nine is the ultimate number. When nine saving boxes are placed together, no one will be able to forget such a shocking scene easily.

That’s 81 dishes, and all of them are cold dishes. Which country or person can make them?
The dessert project is also the sugar art display project. In this project, European players have won the championship every time. After so many competitions, players from Asia, Africa and other regions have never won the championship.

So can Chu Yunfeng break this convention this time?

The game continued in the afternoon, and the place of the game was still in the glass room, but this time the game restrictions were much more restrictive. This is why it is difficult to win the championship in other regions except Europe.

Because every detail of this competition has very detailed regulations, including very clear quantitative and qualitative requirements from weight, presentation, and utensils.

For example, snacks need to be ready to eat in one bite, each portion must weigh 10 to 20 grams, and 6 different varieties must be produced, with 6 portions of each variety.

French judge Auguste is the devil judge of this competition. His requirements for details are simply picky, and even the slightest error will not suffice.

Especially the weight of desserts, his vision is very sharp, often the weight exceeds 0.1, he can keenly detect, and he weighs each one accurately, and he has never made a mistake.

Therefore, whenever a contestant's work is assessed by him and he asks to be weighed, the contestants will feel as if they are facing a formidable enemy and will fail in all likelihood.

This is why everyone is a little afraid of this devil judge, because he is indeed powerful, but people have to be convinced.

Accuracy?
Chu Yunfeng smiled slightly. For him, this kind of thing was not difficult at all. The accuracy of the works he made might drive August crazy.

Hey, let's see!

The afternoon game started immediately after Crystal's announcement, and all the players got into the tense atmosphere of the game. This time, there were not as many people around the Chinese team as there were in the morning.

On the contrary, the British, Italian, French and German teams were crowded, obviously much more lively than the Asian and African teams.

After all, in dessert competitions, Europe is the old and strong team, so everyone naturally pays more attention to it, and exquisite works will appear in every competition.

Both the shape of the work and the combination of ingredients are unparalleled. At a glance, it is the snack that I most want to taste during afternoon tea time.

Although the Huaxia team has demonstrated their exquisite pastry art in the morning, it is still not as effective as the afternoon tea snacks that really suit European tastes.

However, after the wonderful performance in the morning, there are still some spectators and members of the organizing committee watching the Chinese team. However, it is only a preparation stage now, and no particularly exciting part has been seen yet.

Flour and eggs are naturally indispensable for making snacks. The Huaxia team, headed by Chu Yunfeng, is currently sorting and placing various utensils and taking out the required ingredients one by one.

Flour, eggs, cocoa powder, butter, honey, vanilla powder, sugar, raisins, rum, olive oil, nuts, jam and other ingredients appeared on the kitchen table of the Chinese team.

This immediately made the onlookers' eyes light up. These ingredients are all used to make European-style dim sum. In the morning, I saw that the Huaxia team did not use these ingredients to make Chinese-style dim sum.

Doesn’t that explain it?

hiss~!

The Chinese team wants to make European dim sum?

How can this not be expected?

The superb cooking skills in the morning stopped many onlookers. They originally planned to take a look and leave, but there were more and more people on the European team, and everyone wanted to go over and join in the fun.

But when I saw that the Chinese team actually wanted to make European-style snacks, especially their captain, who they called Qing Ming Chu, had the most ingredients on the table among everyone.

After he prepared all the ingredients, he moved very quickly and started working immediately. This made everyone unable to move and they were immediately attracted.
However, these viewers did not notice that there was lard in the ingredients placed on Chu Yunfeng's table, but everyone saw this white thing and had no idea what it was.

I also thought it was something like butter, maybe white oil?

Only President Hou and the others understood why Chu Yunfeng wanted to make all Western-style dim sum. They were obviously used to make puff pastry and were essential ingredients for making Chinese-style dim sum.

Crispy pastries are the most extraordinary, and their taste and aroma are unparalleled. However, making crispy pastries is the most risky in this competition.

Because these crispy snacks need to be over-oiled. Once over-oiled, the amount of oil in the flour cannot be controlled. It may be more or less.

When they are made, they all appear to be the same size on the surface, but the weight of the oil is quite high, and it cannot be seen at all when it soaks into the pastry.

But once it is placed on a gram weight scale, the difference in weight will be immediately apparent, and the number of grams will be very different.

For crispy pastries of the same size, the one with the biggest difference in gram weight is estimated to be 5 grams more, or even 6 grams, and the weight requirement for pastry in this competition is 10 grams to 20 grams.

The smaller the pastry, the more difficult it is to make it, so it is even more difficult to maintain the weight within this range, but Chu Yunfeng still chooses to do it, so is he trying to conquer the judges with his superb skills? Or should you choose to give it a try?

Chu Yunfeng's choice of ingredients was quickly written down by one of the audience members. Then the man turned around and came to a secluded place, picked up his cell phone and made a call.

And one of the contestants at the scene, who had a headset in his ear, quickly received the information about the ingredient list, and a very proud smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This person said: "It seems that the strategy has worked. I have already started to work hard. I actually made pastries in the dim sum competition. Then I will wait and see the good show!

Huaxia, Huaxia, this face is still too important. I don’t know if it’s the senior management who puts pressure on you, or you think you are superior?
Interesting, interesting, really interesting. Then I’ll wait and see if the pastries you make will pass the test as you think.

Ha ha"

Yamada Shoichi smiled and shook his head, feeling extremely comfortable.
