I have a deep mountain

Chapter 42 The Preliminary Competition Begins

The next day, a piece of paper was pasted on the door of Xiaodong’s food stall:

[Business is suspended, and the re-opening time is to be determined (estimated 3-20 days). 】

The owner of the nearby store is very puzzled. Does the owner of this store have a problem with his brain? The business has just started to catch fire, so the business is suspended?What a fool who doesn't make money.

…………

Crane City Hotel, ordinary double bed room.

"The room is good, but it's a bit expensive." Han Dong jokingly said to Fan Ling.

Fan Ling also smiled: "This is already an internal discounted price, so you can be content. However, Boss Han must have opened a store recently to make money."

As the class monitor, Fan Ling also knew about Han Dong's family conditions when he was studying. How can the family's financial situation be better for families who apply for student loans?

Crane City Hotel is a five-star hotel. Even with internal discounts, the most common double room costs 399 yuan a night.

If it were the old Han Dong, he would definitely not be willing to spend so much money for accommodation.

Facing the inquiry from monitor Fan Ling, Han Dong smiled and said:

"I don't earn much, I just want to experience what it's like to live in a five-star hotel. Anyway, I only stay for one day, and the competition will be over tomorrow."

The organizer does not provide accommodation for the contestants in the preliminary stage. Once they enter the semi-finals and finals, the contestants' board, lodging, and travel expenses will be borne by the organizer.

Han Dong thought that he would only live for one day anyway, so spending 400 yuan would not be so distressing, and he had to know how to spend money to make money, otherwise he would not have the motivation to make money.

Fan Ling asked: "I don't know what problems will arise tomorrow, are you nervous?"

"Don't be nervous, we are from Xinnan Cooking Institute anyway, don't get rejected in the first round of preliminary rounds. Otherwise, Teacher Li will definitely call and scold you." Han Dong joked.

Fan Ling was even more nervous when she said this: "Ms. Li also called you. I thought I would secretly participate in the competition. If I was eliminated, I would pretend that I didn't participate. Now, the teachers in the school are staring at us. .”

"Don't be nervous, as long as we play normally, there will be no problem." Han Dong comforted.

Han Dong and Fan Ling are the most outstanding graduates of Xinnan College this year. If professional chefs like them are eliminated by those chefs who have become monks halfway through, it will be a shame for me to study hard day and night in the college for three years.

"Yeah." Fan Ling nodded and said, "Then you have a good rest, I'll call you tomorrow morning."

Fan Ling said goodbye, after all, it was getting late, and the lonely men and widows were living in the big bed room, and the atmosphere was a bit dense.

"okay, see you tomorrow."

And such a competition system similar to a talent show, the contestants are all young men and women, and there are many good-looking ones, so it attracts the attention of a lot of people who are not in the chef industry.

This is the third consecutive Golden Kitchen Rising Star Contest, and the ratings have been continuously ranked first in the category of variety shows and live broadcasts in the same period.

With the increasing influence of the program, the Ministry of Education has also become one of the co-sponsors this time in order to encourage the development of culinary majors in universities.

Therefore, all colleges and universities offering culinary majors are more actively signing up this year than in previous years.

Teachers from major culinary academies have started to contact outstanding students who have graduated, hoping that they can represent the school to participate in this competition.

Although the students were scattered all over the country after graduation, the head teacher of their alma mater called in person, and the prize money of the competition was also very attractive, and the graduates were also willing to give the college this face.

Xinnan Culinary Academy contacted a total of [-] graduates, including Han Dong and Fan Ling.

As some of the most outstanding culinary schools in various regions, Xinnan Culinary Institute is located in the south, and is best at Hunan cuisine and Cantonese cuisine.

Xindong Culinary Academy is located in the eastern part of the country, and Anhui cuisine and Zhejiang cuisine are the most distinctive.

Xinxi Culinary Academy specializes in Sichuan cuisine.

The fine specialty of Xinbei Culinary Institute is Shandong Cuisine.

These four colleges have their own characteristics, and they fight openly and secretly, and no one accepts the other.

The Huazhong Culinary Institute is the most powerful among the five culinary schools, and the eight major cuisines are all very strong.It was established the earliest and has trained the most super chefs.

These five academies are all eager to try for the championship of this year's Golden Chef Award. After all, whoever wins this competition will be able to show their face in front of the father of the Ministry of Education. The approval of the academies' funding in the coming year will naturally be super smooth.

…………

On the second day, the preliminary competition of Crane City was held in the square in front of the Crane City Hotel. There were 120 young chefs in Crane City who signed up for the competition.

The organizer notified all contestants by SMS in advance that they can bring their own side dishes and special seasonings, but the main course and common seasonings are provided by the organizer.

On the square of Crane City Hotel, more than 100 liquefied gas stoves and non-stick pans are set up, and a duck and popular seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are placed on everyone's table.

A temporary steel platform was set up in front of the square. The host was a middle-aged man in a suit. He held a microphone and said enthusiastically:

"Good morning, all contestants. Welcome to the National Golden Chef Rising Star Competition. Now, in front of each of you is the main dish that will be used today, meat duck. You can cook it in any way. The competition lasts for two and a half hours , Those who have prepared in advance can raise their hands, and we will have ten professional judges come to taste and score on the spot."

"Chefs with scores in the top ten will be able to represent Crane City to participate in the semi-finals in the province. Now I announce that the preliminary round of the National Golden Chef Rising Star Competition has officially started!"

Following the host's order, the 120 chefs present began to get busy.The photographers also started to record close-ups of each chef, which is good material if one of them makes it to the semi-finals and finals.

The preliminary competition is an audition, which uses editing and recording. The photographer will generally focus on recording some dishes that have special characteristics, or the chefs themselves are particularly good-looking, or the performances are particularly wonderful.

Only after the semi-finals, the organizer will start to use the live broadcast method, which is also the time when the ratings are the highest.

The cameraman brother is carrying the camera, and when taking close-ups of all the contestants, he is also paying attention to who can give more shots later.

After the host announced the start of the competition, he stepped off the stage, preparing to select some more topical contestants for interviews so that they could be edited into audition material.

He passed by row by row, and his eyes stopped on a fresh-looking girl with short hair and lively facial features. She was concentrating on cutting side dishes, and her side profile was very pretty.

There are very few female contestants in the chef competition, let alone good-looking girls?
So the host smiled and passed on the topic, and the photographer followed by and pointed the camera at Fan Ling.

"Hi contestant, may I ask what dish you plan to cook today?"

Fan Ling raised her head and stared at the camera for a moment, she didn't expect that she would be the first to be interviewed.
