The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd

"The total score statistics of the individual matches have been released. So far, our'Germinate team' has a total score of 54.73 points, ranking fourth... After adding the final team match results, the top four teams can advance to the main match. The situation is not Optimistic.” Said Kojiro Shinomiya, placing the newspaper with the list on the table in front of him.

It's already night, and the individual match was a few hours ago.

Once the game was over, Kojiro Shimiya wanted to find Pleiades Liu to count everyone’s scores to gauge how much the “burden” of the subsequent team matches was. At the same time, he simply decided in advance the strategy of the team match...

However, Liu Subaru did not return to the "Germinate Team" lounge because he was anxious to draw Rina. He was blocked until he returned to the hotel. At this time, some unofficial tabloids had already calculated the results. Kojiro Sinomiya was naturally straightforward. used!

Now Kojiro Shimiya directly used their statistical data. From now on, the "Germinate team" seems to be in a good situation and has already entered the top four. That is to say, if everyone's scores in the team battle do not slow down, this is right. The tickets for the game are already available!

However, what Kojiro Shimiya said was just the opposite, and several others, including Liu Subaru, did not refute it.

Liu Subaru picked up the tabloid again and looked at it on the provisional ranking...

Who made him the "leader" completely fail to fulfill his responsibilities?

I have been delayed in contacting the "Seed Team" before, and now I have time to notice this ranking. No wonder Kojiro Shinomiya keeps giving him his eyes.

Under the white eyes of the fourth house, Pleiades Liu even couldn't help but feel some guilt in his heart, but the "guilt" was immediately suppressed by Pleiades Liu, while silently thinking in his heart: I am fighting for the cause of saving the world...

Kojiro Shimiya’s words were indeed not alarmist. Liu Subaru also noticed at this time that although they are now ranked fourth, but...

"54.73 points... It seems that there is not much advantage. The tenth place also has 54.25 points. The fourth place and the tenth place are less than 0.5 points!" Liu Subaru said with his forehead.

"Yes, that is to say, there are still seven or eight teams that can compete with us in the team competition without too much weakness." Suwon Dongmi analyzed expressionlessly.

Xi Jianjun, who hadn't realized what was originally, suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! Isn't that bad? You said before that we were weak in team competitions, right?"

Xi Jianjun also had an afterthought. The reason why everyone got fourth in the individual competition, but still thinks the situation is not good, is the reason!

However, Liu Subaru said at this time: "But the situation is not that bad..."

Seeing everyone watching over, Liu Subaru put the tabloid on the table, and then spread his hands: "Although our previous plan was to get as high a score as possible in the individual competition, it would be nice to be able to recite some points for the team competition...but In fact, do you really think that we have the strength to get first and second? With the current results in the individual competitions, there is actually nothing to complain about. After that, we can strive for team competitions without scoring."

Although Liu Subaru's statement is "rogue", the fourth house and others cannot refute it!

Indeed, the previous plan was mostly inspiring. Didn’t they think that their opponent was too strong to reach the planned goal?

Although Liu Subaru's words are unacceptable, there is no problem in principle...

That is, in the individual competition, the three people have already played their due level, and it can even be said that they have played very well!

With a score of 54.73, it should be satisfied...

The chefs of more than 90 other teams are worse than them?

Obviously not, the current scores are already because they are better than other chefs in recipe creativity and on-the-spot performance as far-moon chefs. Otherwise, they will be out of the competition without limiting the topic. Up!

Why did you not reach a higher score?It is not a matter of plan, nor is there any mistake, but a simple "technical stop".

So in Liu Subaru's view, there is nothing to say. In the subsequent team competitions, everyone can play the strongest level. Whether success or failure is the reason for the strength, there is nothing to say.

"Indeed, we had miscalculated the strength of those old famous chefs and the appeal of'All Blue'..." Si Gong nodded.

At the same time, I looked at the ranking on the tabloid...

Indeed, the quality of the players in this session caught Si Gong and others by surprise!

"It's not so much the attraction of'All·Blue' as it is the attraction of the four teams in the race! Let alone the representative team of the American Development Council, the other three... those celebrity chefs want to further their reputation , There is only one way to defeat the representative team of the three major cooking organizations!" Liu Subaru said.

That’s right, it’s precisely because of the four teams that sent the race that the atmosphere of this “All·Blue” has been heated to the extreme. Those who are not unaffected by the “curse”, do not even know what the “Jade Dragon Pot” is. The celebrity chefs, the biggest reason for participating in "All·Blue" is to defeat the bosses of the three major cooking organizations and win the world's first name in one fell swoop...

"Wait, I think our current situation is not as bad as we thought before!" Liu Subaru groaned and picked up the tabloid again.

Si Gong also thought of something at this time, and said with some disdain: "Yes, some are too anxious to be'famous'."

"Huh? Famous? What are you talking about?" Xi Jianrun asked suspiciously.

Liu Subaru also found a previous tabloid, which was a brief introduction about the teams participating in the competition...

Since the readers are interested, naturally these tabloids have also compiled this information. Although they can't inquire about some too secret things, they still have the composition of the team and the main achievements of the chef.

"If you take a closer look, in fact, most of the teams that have similar results to ours now are not'original'. Almost all are the result of the combination of two or three old stores." Liu Subaru said.

This can indeed have a greater advantage in individual competitions, but the price is that the degree of cooperation in team competitions will suffer...

"But even so, they must be better than us? After all, they can be regarded as a combined team of two or three teams, and all of us are hard teams, and we don't usually have much cooperation..." Xi Jianrun is weak Said.

When Xi saw Run's pouring cold water, Liu Subaru's eyes lit up, "No, maybe... Yes! That's it!"

"What's your idea?" The Fourth House asked Liu Subaru again with a smile that made him want to punch him.

"What I mean is that they should also be in the team later, divided into two or three groups, unified planning, group cooking... We can actually do the same! Chuang Zhen and Da Subaru first determine two auxiliary candidates, and then The key point is that when it comes to the team game, we will cook in the form of 2+2+1!" Liu Subaru said.

"The problem is that even in groups, it will not be possible within a short time... the assistants of other teams have worked with the chef for at least several years or even decades, and the degree of tacit understanding cannot be achieved quickly. If the degree of tacit understanding is not enough, ...It's better to have only four players on the court when the time comes, and then fight separately!" Said Kojiro Shinomiya.

Obviously the four refer to himself, as well as Liu Subaru, Suwon Dongmi, and Gan Hyugako.

Although the words of the fourth house made Chuangzhen and Mizuo Subaru a little depressed, they did have their truth!

The purpose of "cooperation" in the kitchen is to assign the relatively simple tasks of the chef to his assistant.

If a chef cooperates with one or two kitchen workers who have worked with him for decades and have a tacit understanding, he can even play two or three times his own efficiency!

In other words, although the chef's cooking skills are far inferior to the chef who works with him, as long as two people are tacitly familiar, he can even play the role of another chef when working with the chef...

Of course, this kind of super chef not only requires some skills, but more importantly, the tacit understanding of cooperation!

The higher the chef's cooking skills, the higher the requirements for tacitness.

Just as Sinomiya understood the "heart of cooking", and after the rapid advancement in cooking, he felt that his assistant chef was becoming more and more "obstructive"...

If you change the temper of the former Si Gong, I am afraid that he will have gone!

Fortunately, in the past year, although the fourth house can't speak of self-cultivation, his temper has changed a lot, and he also understands that this kind of "obstructive" feeling is his sudden improvement, which makes the chef unable to adapt, so he more patiently teaches the other party... …

The most obvious performance is in the "cooking mind".

The highest standard for judging whether one’s kitchen worker is in a tacit understanding with oneself is often the kitchen worker’s handling of ingredients, which will not affect your own cooking heart!

The effect of adding the heart of the cooking to the cooking is the process of filling the dish with the will of the cook...

Naturally, only in the "things on the plate" that you cook by yourself can you infuse your cooking heart.

Otherwise, when the Atlantis civilization and Lemurian civilization were still there, wouldn't the two civilizations choose some people to join forces, which is equivalent to countless "dragon chefs"?

However, there is no absoluteness. It is obviously unrealistic to infuse one's will in the cooking of others.

Because the essence of infusion of will is to use your own cooking heart to change the "source" of the ingredients to the form that you expect...

However, anyone can change the "source" of the ingredients, and it's not just what they want, but they change it inadvertently.

One of the special effects of smart kitchen utensils is that they can identify whether they have experienced artificial cooking from the changes in the "source" of the ingredients...

Even a cook who doesn't know the heart of the kitchen at all, as long as the ingredients are processed, even if they are simply shredded, sliced, and diced, the source of the ingredients will change.

This kind of change is far less effective than directly using the heart of cooking to change the "source". It can be said to be very small, but it is not based on personal will...

Once the "source" of the ingredients has been changed, the chef will naturally have more obstacles when he wants to use his "cooking mind" to show his will!

Being able to do it without any hindrance means that the changes in the "source" of the ingredients when the chef processed the ingredients before are exactly the same as the changes expected by the chef!

What this requires is not the skill of the cook, but the horrible tacit understanding...

Therefore, the more you use "cooking mind" and the more skilled a chef, the higher the requirements for the tacit understanding between the chef and yourself, otherwise it would be better to have no one to assist you.

But this kind of example is too few. Even chefs and chefs who have worked together for decades may not be able to do it. Usually, if the process of the chef and the chef is 50-50, it means that two people work together to cook together. At that time, when their respective workloads are about the same, the weakening of the chef's "cooking mind" is less than 30%, which is already a very tacit understanding!

And this kind of tacit understanding cannot be achieved overnight...

That's why the Fourth House questioned Liu Subaru's "2+2+1" strategy.

"However, if the four people are fighting separately, the final result must be that the degree of matching of'one meal' is extremely low in terms of dishes! The current '2+2+1' is already considering that I can fully cooperate with the other two groups of dishes. It is equivalent to the coordination between the two parties," Liu Subaru retorted.

Well, the time for the team competition is also two hours, but the title is "a meal" instead of "a meal", which means that the final submission, whether it is Chinese or Western, must be a complete one composed of several dishes. meal……

The overall consideration is the standard of team competition. Otherwise, what is the difference between individual competition?There are five players in each team, four of them look out and one cooks.

According to the rules of the team competition, the optimal ratio should be "four guarantees one", which means that four of the five people can be perfectly qualified for the other cook, making it 500% efficient...

In this way, all the dishes are made by one person, and the conditions are met in terms of time and coordination.

However, there are only two such teams in the qualifiers!And they can't threaten them...

After all, kitchen workers have their limitations. When working with their old partners, they can play the role of a chef, but their cooking skills are definitely not as good as a true chef, because they spend most of the time. A chef who is used in cooperation and is willing to be a cook is certainly not that talented...

In the "All·Blue" competition, each team is selecting five people and two candidates. If four places are given to the chefs, it means that there are only three chefs who can truly be alone!

Even if you don’t consider the “star” issue when signing up, there are only three chefs, which means that there is no choice but three of them in the individual competitions, and later in the team competitions, only the one who has four The assistant chef comes on stage, and there is no room for choice. Once a very unfavorable problem arises, it is easy to lose all the games.

Looking at the current individual score rankings, you know that as long as one person makes a major mistake, the entire team will not be promoted!

On the other hand, even if you have absolute self-confidence, it is very rare to have four chefs who are able to guide and cooperate fully with the chefs...

Because the more kitchen workers you have, the more processes you have to deal with!

In this way, most of the teams that set the target for the main match, most of them are a chef with one or two chefs, and then use the "2+3" tactics in the team competition, divided into two groups. For cooking, it is a team of four chefs and three chefs as a whole...

If a chef takes the lead, there is no need to consider the coordination of the "meal". If he cooks by himself and the final dishes are not in harmony with each other, then he is not worthy of being a chef at all.

If you are divided into two teams, to a certain extent, you need to communicate and cooperate with each other. Although it is a "one-to-one" cooperation, it will be a lot of trouble.

And if it is divided into three teams...the degree of trouble of cooperation will increase exponentially!

Liu Subaru proposed "2+2+1" because he defaulted to being "1". Because his cooking skills are inclusive of all things, he is confident that he can let the other two groups not consider how to cooperate with him, and he can actively integrate into it. , Is still equivalent to "one-to-one" cooperation.

And because his basic skills are the most solid and the cooking speed is the fastest, the kitchen worker will help him the least...Unless there are more kitchen workers to cooperate with him alone, his efficiency will not be significantly improved, because compared Yu Kitchen, Liu Subaru's speed is much faster.

But four people are fighting each other...not to mention wasting one person's position, just the coordination of "one meal" is no longer expected!

The criterion for "a meal" is definitely different from "a meal"...

It is not only considering the independent deliciousness of a dish, but also the coordination between each dish.

The simplest, if the last meal the judges tasted consisted of a "tomato scrambled egg", a "egg scrambled tomato", a "tomato casserole", and a "egg casserole tomato", the mood would definitely not How wonderful!

The thoughts of Si Gong and Liu Subaru finally had to be neutralized...

"Then the next nine days...no, during the seven days, let’s try the level of coordination first, and finally determine the final strategy three days before the start of the game! If the level of coordination is okay, you should try your best Prepared according to '2+2+1'." Liu Subaru said.

The Si Gong and others obviously had no opinion on Liu Subaru's decision at the beginning.

However, the fourth house immediately reacted, looking at Liu Subaru staring suspiciously and said, "You can't remember anything wrong? Although the team competition lasts for ten days, the order of the match will be drawn tomorrow morning! Why are you so sure, we will on the last day?"

After that, the team competition will actually start tomorrow...

But unlike "individual competitions", team competitions are not crowded together.

Since the comparison is "one meal", the time for the judges to taste the dishes of each team will inevitably be very long!

Once there is a situation where the "meal" is completed one after another, the team that completes one step later will be unlucky. It may take half an hour to complete the cooking before it is their turn to present...

In this way, in this half an hour, how to keep the dishes in the best taste period will be the biggest problem.

If it is a dish that is demanding for the best taste period, it will basically be half waste!

Therefore, decades ago, under the blood and tears of countless participants, the rules were finally changed to a more fair "wrong time" game.

That is to say, each group has its own admission time and presentation time, which cannot be early or late, and the time of each group is staggered by an hour!

Since the time has been stretched, naturally I don’t care about it being longer. Therefore, regardless of the venue, there are only five judges in the team competition. From the first day, you will taste the dishes of the ten to eleven teams from 12 to 10 pm every day. , After ten days, all 102 teams were reviewed.

In the ten days from tomorrow, all teams that have not played will be prohibited from leaving the hotel. At the same time, the hotel will also block all external signals to ensure that there will be no "missing questions".

But what ingredients are needed for practice can be sent in from outside after being checked by the competition.

Anyway, there are all kinds of entertainment facilities and places in the hotel, so you don’t have to worry that these ten days will be very boring...

This is especially true for the "Germinate Team"!

Ten days will be bored?joke!For them, ten days of practice time is still too little!

But expecting the best time for ten days does not mean that there are really ten days!

What if you have bad luck and get the first group to enter the venue at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning?

"No, since the team has notified the team and the team leaders will draw tomorrow morning instead of the official draw, then no matter what the draw is, I will be able to draw to the last day!" Liu Subaru said confidently.

"..."

Although Liu Subaru is very confident, it is obviously a "mysterious self-confidence" in the eyes of the Fourth House and others.

Liu Subaru opened his mouth to explain something, but he stopped in time...

Erina’s lessons learned before are still in sight!

Pleiades Liu feels that it is not wise to expose his special abilities of the "super five senses". For example, Pleiades Liu will tell them that the combination of his super vision, super hearing and brain supplements can achieve a similar perspective effect?

"If you don't believe it... Then that's it. If tomorrow is not the last day's show, then use the fourth house method!" Liu Subaru said.

Although Sigong and others don’t know where Liu Subaru is confident, but I believe it first, and only wait for the next morning...

At 8 o'clock the next day, Pleiades Liu and others arrived at the draw on time. Obviously, the Fourth House planned for the worst, that is, they entered the game on the same day.

"Congratulations, the total score of the individual competition is fourth... Ha ha, if the team competition is not dragged down, maybe you will be able to advance!" Nagaki Ji walked towards Liu Subaru.

Although he didn't hit the smiley man with his hand, Liu Subaru just watched the smirk of Nagakiji's not pleasing to the eye.

He does not need to draw lots, but as one of the important leaders of the "American Development Council", it is naturally not difficult to come to the draw.

"Where, how can it be compared to walking through the back door!" Liu Subaru responded with a smile also.

"Haha, I wish you a smooth drawing..." Naginaki thistle looked completely speechless.

Originally, the only thing Liu Subaru was worried about was that Naruto would make trouble and put himself in the last few to draw lots. There might be no more games later.

But now he already knows that the order of the lottery is based on the total points of each team in the individual competition. Liu Subaru is the fourth one to draw. He is worried that there will be no later games?

And the draws in front of Liu Subaru were the Italian Royal Cuisine Team, Baixing Sanying Team and... Seed Team!

That's right, the Seed team ranked third in total points in the individual competition. After all, in the "Seed Team", Dojima Ginon's personal strength can also be ranked in the top three among all contestants, and won a high score of 19 or more!

"Italian Royal Culinary Team, Baixing Sanying Team... It seems that they have already locked up two entries for the main match ahead of time. The only ones left are the eight teams from third to tenth, competing for the rest. Two." Liu Subaru said, looking at the two teams.

It's not that Liu Subaru is stunned, because these two teams are the only "four guarantees one" lineup. There are only three chefs among the seven players, and the other four are chefs of one of them!

Originally, they were ahead of other groups in the individual competitions, and the team competitions are their advantage. The advantage has become so large that they "do not know how to lose"...

The reason why they are not threatened is because they are destined to be the first or second place. Of course there is no threat to the "Germinate team" who are fighting for third and fourth!
