Cooking that does not shine is not good cooking

But when he laughed at Neo, Jonathan lost even Xie Yunfei. Unconsciously or unconsciously, he emphasized the pronunciation of the word'ordinary', as if a chef like Xie Yunfei was just a grass on the side of the road, not at all. Need to care.

Hearing Jonathan's ridicule, Xie Yunfei frowned slightly, but didn't intend to ignore it. The previous bet had already put himself on the cusp of the storm. Although the other chefs did not say anything, they also had serious opinions on him.Xie Yunfei could even guess how the journalists and chefs who watched the show would arrange themselves if he did not pass the preliminaries, even portraying himself as a clown.

But what?

With his eyes closed, Xie Yunfei turned his mouth up to the sides.As he said with Feifei and Xiaoyun before, he will not lose because...

"Hey, hey, I will be very sad if you say that." Neo's voice sounded in his ears. He seemed to be talking to Jonathan not far away, so the volume was a little loud, "I and you, can it? Didn't you climb up from the average chef little by little?"

"Cut." Xie Yunfei glanced at his mouth secretly. He suddenly remembered what Feifei had mentioned to himself a few days ago. Many chefs would use words to squeeze other contestants before the game in order to make the opponent perform abnormally after the start of the game, and then let him Win more easily by yourself.

After all, the dessert contest is a world-class event. Not to mention winning the final victory. Even if you reach the top sixteen through the preliminaries, it is an opportunity to show yourself to the world. No one is willing to give up such a glory. Jonathan is not far away. , Neo at the next table was unwilling, and Xie Yunfei was equally unwilling.

He frowned, but Xie Yunfei did not open his eyes. No matter how many small tricks he used before the game, he was not as good as presenting a luminous dish during the game, and Xie Yunfei happened to be a chef who could cook luminous dishes.

"Oh?" Neo was a little surprised to see that the teenager on the side was not affected.Although he had been sleeping on a fake day before, he still knew the situation in the venue.If he replaces the boy with himself, and he was seventeen or eighteen years old, Neo cannot guarantee to be as calm as his opponent at this time.

Is it too courageous?Still have any hole cards?

Neo didn't know, nor did he need to know. Seeing the examiners of the first preliminaries appeared, he shook his head with a confident smile on his face.

No matter who the opponent is, the winner will be yourself!

"Oh, it's quarreling, it's quarreling." On the edge of Division 3, Toyama Shirayuki and Toyama Kana were biting their ears.

For that young man at the cusp of the storm, Toyama Shirayuki and Toyama Kana can be said to know quite well because of their relationship with Japan.Because of this, unlike Neo and Jonathan, the two did not treat Xie Yunfei as a first-class chef, but judged him as the fifth'special chef' of the third team.

"So, do you want to help him? In other words, it's someone who is optimistic about Longyuan Branch." Toyama Kana asked softly.

"Besides, even that little problem can't be solved, and there is no way to carry the heavy burden in the future." Yuanshan Baixue smiled.

The two didn't seem to worry about their next preliminaries results, or in other words, full of confidence?

Not to mention the fighting between the chefs in the No. 3 examination room, at 7:55, five examiners appeared one after another.

At the forefront was Tony, the president of a famous French confectionery company. When he was young, he was also a chef. However, because of his lack of talent, he came second and started the confectionery company.

The two people standing on the left are Inoue Kazuto from Japan and Li Yanhua from China. Inoue Kazuto is the owner of the national enterprise "Hezhixin". Its subsidiary company specializes in selling wagashi and has many special Japanese confectioners. Very close cooperation.Li Yanhua is China’s largest supplier of flour and glutinous rice flour. Although the probability of grain in its planting base is not high and the output is minimal, there are one or two ingredients each year that reach the level of fantasy.

Corresponding to these two are the two women standing on the other side of Tony. These two women are very similar in appearance. They should be a pair of sisters who live in the United States and run a world-class chocolate factory.The one with the bigger chest is called Anna Lisbet, and the one with the smaller one is Yuna Lisbet.

Seeing the chef in Examination Room No. 3 looking at him, Tony, who was standing at the front, smiled indifferently. After a brief introduction of himself, he clapped his hands and asked the staff to fetch a box. “The box contains all the five thoughts of us. The ingredients that can be used to make desserts range from the simplest flour, eggs, sugar, to various fruits, nuts, and some ingredients that may only be popular in certain regions and countries. What will you get?" Spread his hands, showing a funny expression, "Then only God will know."

Chapter 202 First Round (Part 2)

Tony seems to want to say some jokes to ease the tense atmosphere of the arena, but it is a pity that he is obviously doing useless work.

Hearing that the question of the first round of preliminaries was in the box on the side, many chefs' breathing became hurried.Although known as the "dead group", these first-class chefs did not intend to give up. Many people prayed in their hearts that Tony could extract a relatively partial ingredient, because only in this way could they be closer to the chefs. The gap between.

It's just a pity...

Tony seemed to feel the thoughts of everyone, and did not rush to do it, but turned his head and looked at Anna and Yuna on the side.The two women knowingly walked to the box and Anna hugged the box. Yuna reached out and took out a hollow plastic ball from it.

After taking the ball apart, Anna reported the ingredients in non-standard Japanese.

"Your test question is-walnuts."

Then, the staff wrote the test questions on a large board in different languages.

walnut?It turned out to be a walnut?

Hearing that the ingredients used in the first preliminaries turned out to be walnuts, many people in the venue showed weird expressions. It's not that this ingredient is not easy to make into desserts, but compared to the ingredients given by other examination rooms— —The peppers in the No. 1 examination room, the pickles in the No. 4 examination room—The theme of the No. 3 examination room, which is walnuts, is really too simple. It is probably the ingredient soybeans in the No. 2 examination room, which can match the questions in the No. 3 examination room. The difficulty is comparable.

Whether it’s in the East or the West, there are many desserts made with walnuts. Not to mention, in China, many families buy some moon cakes on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Among the moon cakes, they are called Baiguo moon cakes and In other words, the type of mooncakes with walnuts.

This dish obviously meets the exam questions, and the ingredients of other countries include walnut desserts...

"Examination room No. 3, it should be the performance show of those special chefs." Not far behind Xiaoyun, an audience member exclaimed.What he said is not wrong. It can be said that the regular customers in walnut desserts have already developed their full potential, but how can a chef who can pass the special examination be unable to make a mere ordinary dessert?

Xiaoyun heard the comments of the audience behind her, but rarely did not argue with the other party. At this time, she clasped her hands tightly, and her eyes never moved from Xie Yunfei's body from beginning to end, "Brother... "

Feifei and Xiaoyun’s situation is similar, but slightly different from Xiaoyun. This week she often meets with Xie Yunfei and sees her with her own eyes that the other party has improved several desserts into luminous dishes. Although she is worried, she does not think that Xie Yunfei. Will not get a high score.

The real key is not Xie Yunfei, but the other special chefs in the same group as him.

Even a one-star special chef who has just passed the special assessment has a certain chance of cooking luminous dishes, and with the acquisition of more advanced cooking techniques and the specialization of some dishes, this probability will be further improved until the final breakthrough With the limitation of low-star special kitchens, fifty constant luminous dishes can be cooked.

Feifei turned her gaze to look at Neo, who was standing at the kitchen table next to Xie Yunfei.The other party is a three-star special chef. Feifei knows that some of the chefs with this star can cook constant dishes, but because the variety does not meet the requirements of rising stars, or has not entered the middle circle, so it has not been rated It is a four-star special chef, but if the other party can cook a constant glowing dish, there happens to be a dessert related to walnuts...

"It's difficult." Feifei whispered softly.

Feifei is not the only spectator who can see the problem. In the press booth below the audience, the photographer's eldest brother is conducting science popularization with Lin Mumu, "...that's it. According to the scoring system of past dessert competitions, the third examination room is likely to appear. Several desserts close to full marks."

Lin Mumu was stunned when she heard it. For the first time, she knew that there were such things as luminous cooking in this world. Although she was not a foodie, she also yearned for such cooking.But in the next second, Lin Mumu's expression suddenly changed, "In this way, wouldn't Master Xie Xiao have no chance at all?"

"That's the way it was originally." The photographer's brother smiled and patted Lin Mumu's head, and at the same time set up a flag, "You can also start to prepare. An interview with Lan Feiyu and Luo Dongyun's special chefs in the evening."

"...Oh." Lin Mumu nodded.The young man named Xie Yunfei, if he hadn't ran to interview him by himself, might come and leave calmly like other first-class chefs, but now...

Glancing at other colleagues around who had already started writing, Lin Mumu wrinkled her nose, feeling a little sad.After hesitating for a while, she pulled the photographer's eldest brother's sleeve, "Or, after the preliminaries, we will say a few good things to Master Xie Xiao in the report. How to say, he is still Master Lan Feiyu There is a friend of Chef Luo Dongyun."

Lin Mumu found a decent reason. The photographer didn't care about it. He patted the other person's head indulgently, "Yes, you are the one who interviews and writes."

...

The discussion about the ingredients in the No. 3 examination room outside the competition did not affect the chefs in the No. 3 examination room. After hearing that the test question was walnuts this time, many chefs frowned, but immediately afterwards, they took it. Paper and pen, I began to design recipes on paper, and I was a little impatient, but I asked the staff for the ingredients I needed and started to cook them experimentally.

The total time of the first round of preliminaries is four hours, which is enough for the contestants to try several kinds of cooking, but everyone understands that the later the dessert is served, the lower the score may be.

After all, although the desserts are delicious, after tasting a dozen or even twenty desserts, they will feel tired and make mistakes in judgment.

However, a few chefs did not move. They either held their arms, leaned against the kitchen table, or raised their heads, just thinking in their heads, to be precise, screening the desserts to be made.

Jonathan, Neo, Toyama Shirayuki, Toyama Kana are all like this.

As for Xie Yunfei, he seems to be the same as these people, but his consciousness has already entered the culinary space, where he is carrying out the improvement and reconstruction of a certain dish.In the past month, Xie Yunfei has made a special walnut-related dessert. Originally, if it was divided into groups with no special chefs, or with a small number of special chefs and low star ratings, Xie Yunfei might have This walnut dessert was taken out directly, but the current situation obviously does not allow him to do so...

Chapter 203 The First Round (Lower Middle)

Among the standing still contestants, several first-class chefs were the first to do it. They or they called the staff, wrote down the ingredients they needed on the paper provided by the other party, and took them out of their respective kitchen boxes. The various kitchen utensils that may be used, and some of them will take out some ingredients that are not available in gourmet research and hand them to the staff for inspection.

Flour, sticky rice noodles, eggs, cheese, milk, and of course walnuts...

About five minutes later, Toyama Kana and Toyama Shirayuki started their actions. The ingredients that Shirayuki got from Toyama, just like her identity as the "Wagashi Miko", are some of the ingredients often used in Japanese wagashi.On the other hand, Toyama Kana's situation was slightly rejected.'She' chose very few ingredients, including walnuts and sugar, but only four or five.

After another five minutes, Jonathan, who was holding his arms in contemplation, raised his head and looked at the ingredients he was asking for from the staff, as if he was planning to make a cake.

Finally, it was Neo at the kitchen table next to Xie Yunfei. He glanced around and saw that most of the people had already started cooking. He touched the back of his head and revealed an expression of "Oh, awful", but then , He saw Xie Yunfei who was still thinking with his eyes closed.
