Chapter 67 "A Fatal Problem"
"The popularity list of players in every challenge is recognized by the audience and can get a chance to draw a privileged gift package. The first place in the Basic Knife Challenge is Xie Qingfeng. Now let us invite Xie Qingfeng to the stage and draw his privileged gift package." Zhou Huajian extended his hand to invite Xie Qingfeng to the stage.
Xie Qingfeng was able to get the chance to draw the dream turntable. Some contestants were envious and jealous, while others gave enthusiastic cheers.
Needless to say, the cruelty of the game is that you can gain privileges is equivalent to a life-saving talisman, which means you can have a greater advantage than other players in the next game.
This is a coveted good thing for every player.
Unfortunately, Xie Qingfeng was not very lucky. He went on stage and took a walk around the dream turntable, but did not draw the key privileges of direct trains and overtime in the game. He only got the privilege of players being replaced.
Live viewers who have become fans of Xie Qingfeng, are not very satisfied with the lottery results, and they have sent barrage to express their sympathy for the "handed black party".
The benefits and disadvantages of the team member replacement right coexist, and it is a double-sided sword that requires the winner to use flexibly.
After all, each player has different expertise. The special competition rules of the team competition greatly limit the role of the players' personal abilities. It requires the complementary advantages and disadvantages between the players and tacit cooperation to win.
Some players usually look very capable, but their teamwork ability may be very poor. Some players are not good at personal comprehensive strength, but they have some advantage, and entering the team can play a very good role.
In terms of team configuration, the team member replacement rights can be further compensated to avoid a large pile of good knife skills, but the embarrassing configuration of having enough experience in cooking but no one else can do it.
With this privilege, Xie Qingfeng can choose to force himself to join a certain team, or he can forcefully pull people from the opponent's team to his own team.
Judging from Xie Qingfeng's current situation, every player in their eight-person small team currently has a certain characteristic, and the overall coordination is quite balanced.
Mei Tao and Wei Yuqing are both good at knife skills, Wu Xiaomei and Zhong Meiqi are good at placing plates, Fang Liuguang, Fan Xiaobing and Hong Dandan are older, have a more calm and experienced overall view, and have a relatively accurate grasp of the taste.
Xie Qingfeng has now obtained this privilege, although he can forcefully join Yang Wei's team in the team competition, and the two strong men will add up to eliminate another team.
However, Mei Tao, Wu Xiaomei and others were able to make friends with Xie Qingfeng by default, which meant that they could become teammates. Moreover, the chat between the eight people gathered together yesterday has further brought the relationship between them closer.
No matter who in the end wins the captain position, with Xie Qingfeng's personality, he naturally cannot do such a behavior of abandoning his friends.
Even though this is a cruel competition, friendship is also very precious, especially for people like Xie Qingfeng who dream of opening a chain restaurant, it is more important to make friends with cooking talents.
Furthermore, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers!
It is very likely that Xie Qingfeng and Yang Wei may not be a good thing to be together.
Maybe Xie Qingfeng, who has been a squad leader in the army for eight years and is used to commanding the team, and Yang Wei, who has the most professional gilded identity and is confident in himself, wants to become the commander of the team.
In the end, it will inevitably lead to the entire team, not only is it very chaotic in command and assignment tasks, but there is no tacit understanding in the work coordination between the team members.
Based on these reasons, when Xie Qingfeng got the "team member replacement right", he decided to use the privilege he had in the next team competition to try his best to stabilize the current team.
The dream turntable lottery session ended and the competition returned to normal. In the curious eyes of all contestants, three food judges grabbed the wooden handle above the wooden box at the same time.
"Everyone takes two steps back."
Liu Yifan reminded the contestants to push back to avoid being hit when the wooden box was opened. Then, with two other judges, he lifted up the lid of the wooden box 1 meter square.
The wooden boards on all sides of the wooden box hit the ground with a crisp sound. Your large glass jar appeared in front of the contestants. When the contestants saw the fresh ingredients crawling everywhere, some jumped and screamed happily, while others were sad and frowning.
"My God, do you want to deal with me like this? I am born with allergies to crabs. I can't do anything about this thing in all the ingredients. You actually gave me a hairy crab."
"That's great. I was born by the Yangtze River since I was a child. My father raised hairy crabs. I'm very familiar with the ingredients like hairy crabs."
"Wow, I love you so much. My favorite hairy crabs. What I do best at is making this dish. This time I will definitely be able to conquer Steven."
Most contestants like hairy crabs very much and are confident that they have a high chance of successful challenge. Among the small number of contestants who are frowning, Xie Qingfeng is one of them.
"I have never made hairy crabs before, and I have little contact with seafood. It's hard to deal with this." Xie Qingfeng's thick eyebrows squeezed into a ball, and he had no idea at all.
Xie Qingfeng's career as a chef started in the army and was also a blessing in disguise during his military career.
The special living and dietary environment in the army and the limited ingredients that can be accessed are destined to Xie Qingfeng's cooking style and dishes.
The average daily meal expenses of the border defense forces are only 15 yuan for three meals, which is shared to less than five yuan for each meal, so it is impossible to eat any expensive ingredients.
Even throughout the year, I can’t even eat a few meals of beef that cost thirty or forty yuan per pound.
All of Xie Qingfeng's nine years in the army were included. Not to mention the cheapest hairy crabs in front of him, which cost dozens of dollars each, even the small crabs in the small river have never been cooked.
In the deep mountains and forests of the southwest border, even if you can’t afford it and want to go out to get some wild game, you can’t find crabs.
Obviously, hairy crabs are a "fatal question" for Xie Qingfeng.
"Today's creative vegetable ingredients are the hairy crabs in the glass jar in front of you. Each of you can get five high-quality hairy crabs from here, and they must be selected by male and female."
Cao Kefan pointed to the ingredients in the glass jar and said, "In the ingredients preparation area on both sides of you, there are all kinds of ingredients, kitchen utensils, fruits and vegetables we provide to you, which can allow you to use your imagination to cook your best creative dishes."
"If we want to complete this game, the first thing we have to do is to personally select live crabs and choose the ingredients that suit us. This is the basic skill of every chef."
