Since Zhao Xiaokang dared to admit that he had tampered with the number so arrogantly, he obviously was not worried about being exposed. Even if Chen Chong and others asked the organizer to respond, they would not be able to provide evidence!

"Can we just let it go?" Li Xiang sighed in her heart, losing the cleverness of the past.

Zhao Si and Fatty Li were silent, and there was no better idea.

"There is not much time left before the game begins." Chen Chong's expression was a little gloomy and there was no positive answer.

Now, it is impossible to waste time on finding evidence or clash with Zhao Xiaokang. Otherwise, if the matter is made big, the food street will inevitably suffer.

First of all, the scale of this event is so exaggerated that the organizer will never postpone or change the game plan because of anything, not to mention that one of them is an optional and unfamous food street.

Secondly, at this critical moment, even if relevant evidence is found, it is meaningless. Could it be that the lottery will be drawn again? Doesn’t this mean admitting in front of everyone that the organizer’s work is unfair and the competition is unfair? Therefore, in order to protect the organizer’s face, this matter will definitely be turned into a small matter.

But then again, with Zhao Xiaokang's thoughts, he would never be able to affect the team of the Food City. At worst, he could find a scapegoat and take all his faults into himself in his personal name.

Finally, and the most critical point...

Who would believe that a champion team would tamper with another team that is not famous and has poor strength? If something goes big and cannot provide corresponding evidence, wouldn’t it become a laughing stock for everyone after dinner? It would even be maliciously pinned to the food street to attract attention, and throw dirty water on the champion team.

In short, the influence of the food street is too small, so small that it can only swallow this matter into your stomach.

"Forget it, No. 88 is No. 88. At worst, I can't make any mistakes when selecting ingredients." Zhao Si smiled lightly, eased everyone's depression.

"Old Zhao, don't put too much pressure on yourself, do your best." Fatty Li patted Zhao Si's shoulder, helped him take out tools such as kitchen knives from the box, and check whether all the equipment was normal. "By the way, have you thought about what dishes you have cooked? If you have thought about it, you can go to the ingredient area to check the placement of the corresponding ingredient in advance."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chong also raised his ears.

Whether you can choose the right dish is also a test for the chef.

Zhao Si called several people in front of him, lowered his voice and said, "I have been thinking about it for a long time and am going to make a boiled fish fillet."

"What? Water." Fatty Li noticed that his voice was loud and quickly pressed down, "Make fish dishes?"

"Yes." Zhao Si nodded.

"But... isn't this just to make yourself feel uncomfortable?" Fatty Li pursed his thick lips and quickly explained: "Old Zhao, don't get me wrong. I don't underestimate you. It's just that this ancient road fishing house has always been famous for fish dishes, so they must also make fish. Therefore, with their mountain in front, the judges will become particularly picky about the taste of fish dishes, which is not good for you."

"Wait a minute..." Chen Chong suddenly spoke, "Maybe his choice is not bad."

"Xiao Chen, you're confused!" Fatty Li became a little anxious.

Chen Chong is undoubtedly the main force among the three of them. Once he says yes, Zhao Si will definitely believe it without doubt. Doesn’t this mean adding fuel to the fire?

"Boss Li, don't be anxious. You analyzed it correctly and even expressed the thoughts of many teams." Chen Chong smiled slightly, "But because of this, this has become an opportunity."

Fatty Li was puzzled.

Li Xiang looked even more confused.

"You think, since everyone knows that the ancient road fishing house has very high skills in fish dishes, they will basically avoid them in the first round, try to highlight the characteristics of their team. Even if they are not promoted, they can still attract attention to a certain extent. Of course, the effect of increasing popularity is very minimal."

Chen Chong continued: "Since that's the case, if Boss Zhao also cooks fish dishes, to some extent, it has reduced the competitors and narrowed the comparison range. 88 teams and 88 dishes, if there is no strong characteristics and excellent taste, it is difficult to advance! Although with the ancient road fishing house as a reference, the fish dishes behind naturally have disadvantages, if they are slightly done, the probability of qualifying will be greatly increased.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Si looked at Chen Chong in surprise and admired him very much. He originally thought that the other party was just a young man with superb cooking skills, but what he didn't expect was that his mind was so delicate.

"Boss Xiao Chen said it well. This is also the most feasible method I think after thinking about it." He smiled and nodded, "However, I have to ask Xiao Chen to give some advice on boiled fish fillets later."

Zhao Si has tasted most of the dishes in Chen Chong's restaurant, and what he can't forget the most is the pickled fish that will drool when he thinks about it.

"I don't dare to take the advice, I can discuss it later." Chen Chong said modestly. Although he had never made boiled fish fillets, after learning how to pickled fish, he had a good understanding of the characteristics of similar dishes and the difficulty of cooking.

"I reacted too."

Fatty Li sighed and stopped talking. After helping Zhao Si prepare the tools, the four of them left the competition venue.

The first game was at 1:00 pm, and it was only around 11:00 am now.

"I'll gather everyone first, and then go to meet with Uncle Jinhan together. He has booked the hotel." Li Xiang called Zhou Charlie and others, and notified the driver in the parking lot to drive the car out.

A few minutes later, everyone left by car and headed towards the "Longteng Hotel".

...

In the field, area 3.

"Master Li, the kitchen utensils are all placed. You can check it and see if the location is wrong." A young man with a simple appearance came to Li Shenghui and said.

"Okay." Li Shenghui nodded and began to check near the stove.

"Tsk tsk, this is the champion team of the last time, and the middle-aged man with gray hair is the leader of the team."

"This man looks calm, not impetuous at all, and full of confidence."

"That's all right, can you win the championship without some real skills?"

"But their luck is too good, almost next to the ingredient area, just take whatever you want."

"Compared with them, that food city is too memorable. It is actually the last area. I really don't know if it was born to a mother."

"What do you say and what you say."

"You don't know anything about this. The food city and the food street are both from the university town, and they are very close to each other! What's even more peculiar is that someone just dug up some inside information and said that most of the businesses in the food city came from the food street many years ago."

"No, there is such a thing?"

"Well, but it's not clear why they separated."

"What's the point of guessing this? It must be because of the wings that are hard and want to fly solo."

"It's not necessarily good, what if the food street treats others badly?"

"It makes sense, and it turns out that they are very correct to separate them. At least they are getting bigger and bigger now, while the food street is facing demolition and renovation."

Because the location of the Food City is so good, it has attracted too many people's attention, and various discussions are one after another. There are good and bad ones, but more are envious.

The strong team and natural advantages all show that this year's Food City may win the championship again.

The contestants in the Food City enjoyed these envious and awe-inspiring eyes, and their waists were straighter than others, and they were full of complacent smiles.

Of course, most people have expressed doubts about the statement about the "food street" and thought that this food street is ill or something? Is it so shameful to actually use this method to attract attention?

But then I thought about it. With the inconsistent strength of the food street, if I don’t follow some wrong paths, there seems to be no better way to express it.

In addition to this group, there were a few older middle-aged people in the team who looked at each other and then sighed without a trace, with a hint of bitterness and unbearableness on the corners of their mouths.

"Oh." Li Shenghui squatted under the stove and sighed with the opportunity to check the gas stove.

"Master Li, is there any problem?" a young man asked quickly.

"No." Li Shenghui shook his head and stood up, looking at the teams around him. There were familiar teams, strange teams, strong teams, and weak teams, but... they were all teams very close to the food area and were very lucky.

Then, he looked at the No. 88 area, but unfortunately he was blocked by crowds and shelves, so he couldn't see it at all.

"No problem, we two will cooperate more in the future."

Just at this moment, Zhao Xiaokang met with the person in charge of another team on the way, so he chatted and laughed for a few words before leaving.

"Shenghui, how about it? If you are ready, let's go to the hotel for dinner." Zhao Xiaokang came to Li Shenghui with a smile.

"It's almost done." Li Shenghui nodded and waved to a group of chefs, "Let's go."

"Let's go, Shenghui." It can be seen that Zhao Xiaokang was in a good mood. He put his hand on Li Shenghui's shoulders, walking at the front of the team like a good brother.

Many people in the passage knew Li Shenghui, and many team leaders also knew Zhao Xiaokang. Therefore, both sides took the initiative to make way for the road while greeting each other.

If you can look down from above, you can see that the team of the Food City is like a black arrow passing through the dense sea of ​​people, with extraordinary momentum.

"Shenghui, it depends on you in the first game, no problem." Zhao Xiaokang took advantage of the situation and squeezed Li Shenghui's shoulders and cheered him up.

"I will do my best." After the words came, Li Shenghui pursed his lips and finally couldn't help saying, "Xiaokang."

"Hmm?" Zhao Xiaokang responded.

"You won't arrange the competition area of ​​the food street." Li Shenghui looked into the former's eyes.

Zhao Xiaokang slowly withdrew his hands and kept silent.

Seeing this, Li Shenghui's mouth became bitterer, "Why are you going to do this!"

"Shenghui, don't forget your position." Zhao Xiaokang was too lazy to explain. After snorting coldly, he accelerated his pace and walked alone in front.

Li Shenghui sighed, paused for a moment, and walked into the middle of the team silently.

At this time, most of the teams in the venue also began to leave, head to their respective hotels to stay and eat, waiting for the official competition to arrive.

Now, the remaining time is less than two hours!

...

In a villa in a half mountain, in the riverside community.

Dingdong.

"Here you." A woman wearing slippers and tall hairs opened the door of the villa, "Hey, didn't you go to the Zhulin Tea Garden for refreshment? Why did you come back so soon?"

"Don't mention it, I'll have a vain trip." The middle-aged man, who was also white on his temples and about the same age as Li Shenghui, spread his hands. "When I went there just now, many shop owners were not there. I heard that I was going to participate in a chef competition."

This person is nothing else, he is the former head coach of the swimming team of Sports University and Coach Qiao!

However, compared to the haggard appearance of Chen Chong when he arrived last time, he was energetic and his forehead was full of luster.

"That's really a coincidence."

The woman is Coach Qiao's wife, named Zhong Xueqin, who runs a listed trading company. In recent years, the company has produced many talents, and she has gradually dispersed what she has on hand and is happy and at ease.
