Chapter 182 [The first scene where the bayonet sees red]
These four classic dishes all have a characteristic, which tends to conform to the current popular health and diet culture.
That is, there is basically nothing, it stimulates the strong refreshing points of the taste buds and mouth. Only basic seasonings are added, and the taste tends to be light.
Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine, which Xie Qingfeng is best at, are just opposite of the taste.
Xie Qingfeng needs to pay special attention to this!
All four dishes revealed their true faces, and Liu Yifan began to tell the rules of the competition: "The four dishes are divided into two groups, fish is one group of dishes, and shrimp is one group of dishes. These two groups are equal in terms of difficulty and cooking time.
And you four will be divided into two groups to compete for a cooking showdown, and the winners of each group are eligible to participate in the final and compete for the honor of the top chef.”
Standard semi-finals and finals process!
Zhou Huajian continued: "Qingfeng, you are ranked first now. You have a privilege to choose your opponent freely, and the remaining two will automatically become opponents."
Cao Kefan followed closely and said, "Xie Qingfeng, who do you want to choose as your opponent? You have 20 seconds to think carefully."
After hearing the rules of the competition and speaking to the heart, the remaining three players were under great pressure. After all, this is the most powerful player, and anyone who faces him is at a disadvantage at the beginning.
Xie Qingfeng, who has the privilege of taking the lead and values feelings, made his choice very consistent with his personality. He said directly without even thinking about it: "I choose Yu Xiaoting."
"..." Yu Xiaoting looked helpless!
In fact, everyone present guessed the result more or less, but when they heard the result, they still couldn't help but think a lot in their hearts and said intently: "It is a great blessing to meet such a friend."
Among the three of Fang Liuguang, Wu Xiaomei and Yu Xiaoting, Yu Xiaoting is the most unpredictable player.
Her performance was not very eye-catching. Except for her desserts, she was very handsome at the whole game, but her average stability was very good in the finals.
Whether it is Fang Liuguang or Wu Xiaomei, it will be very dangerous to face her.
Xie Qingfeng made this choice undoubtedly helped the two of them a great favor, ensuring that one of them could enter the finals, and he himself showed his sword at the greatest threat and had the strongest duel with a bayonet.
"Choose Yu Xiaoting? Tell me your reasons." Cao Kefan smiled.
"For two reasons, first of all, Brother Fang and Xiaomei are both my good friends. I don't want to send any of them away with me. The finals are the best result, and I think they should think so too."
As soon as Xie Qingfeng said the first reason, Wu Xiaomei blinked and nodded repeatedly, ten thousand of them agreed, Fang Liuguang also showed a happy smile, and his expression already represented everything.
"Secondly, Yu Xiaoting has performed so stably since the game. It can also be said that she is very lucky. She has experienced several skill stress tests along the way and has successfully escaped the crisis. Luck is also a kind of strength. I like to challenge the difficult situation."
Xie Qingfeng's second explanation is a relatively official statement, and he supplements the first reason.
"Yu Xiaoting, what do you think about Xie Qingfeng's statement? Do you think you have reached this point by luck or strength?" Zhou Huajian asked with a smile.
"I have always been lucky, and I think good luck will accompany me to the championship." Yu Xiaoting made a bold statement about winning the championship with confidence.
"Good, I like your confidence."
Zhou Huajian stretched out his thumb and continued, "Then now Xie Qingfeng and Yu Xiaoting are in the same group, Fang Liuguang and Wu Xiaomei, you two will automatically form an opponent."
Liu Yifan added the rules and said: "Yu Xiaoting, as the chosen one, you also have a privilege. You can choose a dish for yourself. Xie Qingfeng will passively accept the remaining dish in this group of dishes."
This privilege of priority is of no use to Xie Qingfeng, but when it comes to Yu Xiaoting's hands, it is really a life-saving straw.
Among the two dishes, fish theme and shrimp theme, there is a dish that tests the skills of the knife.
If Xie Qingfeng gets this privilege, whether he chooses to make this knife-working dish or leaves the dish that requires knife-working to Yu Xiaoting, he can give him an advantage and basically has no effect.
Yu Xiaoting is different. The traditional famous dish she cooked in Yangzhou in the last team match was because she lost the point of poor knife skills, and she already had a shadow on knife skills.
Only by avoiding the swordsmanship can she stand on the same starting line as Xing Feng.
And between shrimp and fish, she can also freely choose a dish with the least influence of knife skills on the whole dish, which invisibly weakens Xie Qingfeng's advantages.
Yu Xiaoting knew these factors very well, and after thinking for a long time, she said, "I chose the golden shrimp shredded shrimp."
"Okay, then, Xie Qingfeng, you have no choice, you can only accept the remaining raw shrimp shreds of melon, ginger, and shrimp." Liu Yifan confirmed the first group, which belongs to the first and third place semi-finals.
Yu Xiaoting's decision was very smart. This dish does not require any knife skills. The main test is the heat and care, and it is very friendly to women who are naturally delicate.
Xie Qingfeng's dish of melon, ginger, shrimp shredded with shrimp are not very effective in it.
Between this addition and subtraction, the strength of both sides is forcibly flattened.
All the rules and pre-match procedures have been completed, and the official competition is about to begin. Cao Kefan announced: "Fang Liuguang and Wu Xiaomei, you two are watching the game first. Xie Qingfeng and Yu Xiaoting, are you two ready?"
"It's ready!"
"It's OK."
Xie Qingfeng and Yu Xiaoting answered at the same time.
"The competition time is 60 minutes, and the timing begins." As Zhou Huajian finished speaking, the atmosphere in the field suddenly increased, and the audience in front of the live broadcast room and the TV also increased their attention a little.
Especially Xie Qiushui, Zhang Dadong, Xie father and mother, the old commander of the army, etc., who focused on Xie Qingfeng, cheered Xie Qingfeng through the screen.
The four players were divided into two groups, and Fang Liuguang and Wu Xiaomei stood next to the stadium to watch the game close.
Xie Qingfeng and Yu Xiaoting entered the cooking area and each entered a high-end cooking table with arc-shaped equipment. They picked up the classic dish making process agreed by the event organizing committee, and went straight to the ingredients while watching.
To copy classic dishes from major cuisines, contestants not only need solid basic skills, but also need to have the ability to learn quickly and adapt to the situation.
