Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

The Second Round (Part 1)

Except for Xiaoyun, Feifei and others, before the first round of preliminaries, neither the audience nor the reporters thought that the young man who made a bet with the Oriental TV reporter before the match was just an ordinary first-class chef. The desserts he made were able to force three special chefs to a head and tied with another special chef.

After the surprise and astonishment, there was endless excitement.

Leaving aside the contestants and their relatives and friends, almost all the spectators who came to watch the preliminaries, although they didn’t say anything, were looking forward to the exciting scene in their hearts. In other words, a drop of hot oil fell during the originally calm game like a lake.

And the boy who scored 47 points in examination room No. 3 is obviously this drop of hot oil!

“That little guy is amazing!” Lin Mumu stared at Xie Yunfei in the distance, with admiration in his eyes. Although the development of the situation was beyond her and the photographer’s brother’s expectations, it was also moving in a more interesting and intense direction advance.

The photographer brother didn’t speak, but the camera that he was carrying on his shoulder was now aimed at the examination room No. 3. To be precise, it was Xie Yunfei who was about to leave the examination room No. 3 and enter the rest area.

audienceOn the other side of the table, Xiaoyun jumped up from her seat shouting, “That’s great! I knew I would do it!”

“The key to winning or losing is in the second round.” Feifei saw it very clearly and was not in a hurry to celebrate, but when she was speaking, the corners of her mouth still turned slightly to the sides, “Say, Yunfei How many points can we get in the second round?”

“At least 42!”

“42? Is it too little?”

“It’s quite a lot. Others may not be able to get this score!”

The two chattered, as if it wasn’t Xie Yunfei who got the highest score, but them.

Wu Shishi shook her head. Leaning on her fiancé’s shoulder, she muttered softly at a volume that only she and Yunlong could hear, “Spring is here~”

Yunlong is not a lump of wood. Although he understood what Wu Shishi meant, he couldn’t help but frowned and corrected the other party’s words, “It can only be regarded as the beginning of winter at best, and there are at least three months before spring.”

As soon as the words fell, the upright young man was given a 720-degree rotation three times in the waist by his fiancée who became angry from embarrassment…

In the rest area, Neo’s expression was a little gloomy.

After the first round of preliminaries, there was only one point difference between him, Kana Toyama and the boy named Xie Yunfei, but it was not an easy task to make up for this point in the second round. things.

Unlike the first round of preliminaries, which used prescribed ingredients to make desserts, the second round of preliminaries focused more on whether they could capture the hearts of literati and gourmets. It sounds very simple, but in fact, in previous dessert competitions, even a three-star special chef like Neo, although he would not get a failing score, he could only get a maximum of about 40 points, and this, almost It has reached the top.

Chefs are not literati, and they are very familiar with a certain period of history or allusions. Many phrases that are very simple in the eyes of chefs will be interpreted as completely different meanings in the mouths of literati. , sociology, and even religion.

Unless you are lucky, you happen to meet the literati’s radio waves and get a high score. At other times, not to mention first-class chefs, many special chefs just use their strength to break the trick, crushing them with luminous dishes and then getting a guaranteed score. Or the top score.

Neo is not good at things like culture. Although he made up for it for a while before participating in the dessert contest, there are so many proverbs and allusions from various countries and regions, how could Neo know all of them in a short period of time?

In fact, it’s not just Neo. Jonathan, who is sitting not far away, doesn’t look like he looks like a gentleman. In fact, in the second round, he is very likely to be blind and unable to understand anything.

And Toyama Baixue and Toyama Kana…

Neo glanced at the few chefs around who might influence him, and finally cast his gaze on Xie Yunfei who just walked into the rest area.

Xie Yunfei raised his head and found Neo who was looking at him. Similar to the situation before the start of the preliminaries, he nodded to Neo, then found a seat nearby and sat down, without talking to other chefs, just closed his eyes and rested.

This caught Neo, who was just about to stand up, a little unprepared. He originally wanted to test the boy in front of him. If necessary, during the second round of preliminaries, no, before the start of the second round of preliminaries, he would take some measures to make the opponent exit.

But like now, when the other party just closed their eyes and rested without agreeing, and chose to rest in a place facing the camera lens, it was the last thing Neo wanted to encounter, rushing forward rashly, even if he succeeded Some small items I brought sent the other party out of the scene, but after the food research was carried out, with the images in the camera as evidence, I absolutely could not escape.

“Cut.” With a dark spat, Neo sat down again. He has not given up the right to qualify for the preliminaries in the third examination room. Whether it is Kana Toyama or the boy in front of him, he must find a way to get rid of it…

After about 20 minutes, the morning preliminaries came to an end as the last chef was scored by the judges.

After waiting for another hour, the second and final round of preliminaries began.

Similar to the previous preliminaries, the number of judges this time is also five, but the nationality of these five judges has undergone slight changes.

At the forefront is still a Frenchman. His name is David Brown. He is a poet. His poems have been translated into many Chinese languages ​​and published.

Standing on David’s left was an American named Love, with a hearty smile on his face, as if he would never feel sad. However, the stories he wrote, from detective novels to adventure stories, from romance novels to science fiction masterpieces, all end in tragedy, and he is a representative of contemporary pessimistic literature.

Standing on Alexander’s left is Hikigaya Yukino from Japan, who is best at all kinds of rigorous mystery novels, but the male lead in his works always has a pair of dead fish eyes for some reason.

Opposite Biqigu Xue Nai and Luo Fu, there are two Chinese people standing on the right side of David, Wang Bayi and Hu Jianjun, Wang Bayi is a professor of ancient Chinese poetry, and has a very advanced research on various ancient poetry Hu Jianjun is a historian, not only proficient in Chinese history, but also has his own views on the rise and fall of many foreign dynasties.

“Then, let’s start.” Unlike Tony, these five judges with literati identities, in a simpleAfter introducing himself, David said so.

As soon as the words fell, Biqigu Xue Nai walked out from the side, bent slightly, and took out a plastic ball from the cardboard box that had been prepared.

Take it apart to reveal the topic inside.

–Vicissitudes of life.

Hu Jianjun stepped forward and coughed, “It’s the same as the morning preliminaries. The competition time is four hours.”
