"Time is here!"

As the host's last sound fell, the time on the big screen just reached zero minutes and zero seconds, indicating the end of the game.

Wow!

Passionate applause rang out at the scene.

Everyone was worried about this game that made people nervous, especially during the game, the big screen kept switching the contestants' game scenes. The kitchen knives that were enlarged under the camera had a huge impact on the soul.

Even in this case, the audience can see more clearly than the judges and staff. Due to proportion, it often makes people lose their judgment on distance, thinking that the knife is likely to be cut...

However, although everyone was relieved, the competition was always the competition. When the time stopped, only more than 400 players were left!

In other words, nearly 200 people were eliminated in the first stage of the first round of the game.

Cruel?

Of course, it is cruel, because many contestants may not be good at cutting vegetables, but they are good at cooking! This is a fact that cannot be denied!

Looking at the stadium that was empty a lot, all the chefs, including Chen Chong, felt a little sigh.

If, just if, if, if they made any mistakes in the game just now, then one more free position will be added.

No one can predict the next second, and all they can do is to complete the present.

Chen Chong reached out and touched the back of his neck, always remembering that the sharp edge of the knife just now was too real, as if someone was holding a knife and slashing at his neck.

Fortunately, the skin on the neck is intact and there is no discomfort.

"It's strange these two days. I suddenly wanted to sleep after the game yesterday. Today I encountered such a strange thing again. Is it an illusion or is it that I have been dealing with ghosts for too long that I have some invisible and unexplained subtle changes in my body? For example... suspicion?" He pondered for a moment, but there was no answer.

"First of all, congratulations to all the players present on their successful passing the first stage of the first round. Next, please rest for two minutes and let our staff change to the second stage of the competition equipment!" Mu Mu commented.

“What is the second stage?”

"I don't know! The rules of this year's God of Chef Competition are different from before, and I have no clue at all."

"I still carefully studied the competition system before the competition, but I couldn't use it."

"It can't be said that it's not useful. At least there is indeed a test of the knife method among the plug gauge that gets up early, but what I didn't expect is that I still have to blindfold it."

"Forget it, hurry up and take a break. I was too nervous to cut vegetables just now, and my forearm almost cramped. I hope it won't affect the next game."

"Ahhh, why did you take away the cutting board?"

…

While the contestants were talking, their corresponding staff put all the processed ingredients back into the vegetable basket, and then took away the cutting board without saying a word.

Chen Chong was also surprised and couldn't guess where the organizer was going to make trouble again.

"Master Chen..." A slightly familiar voice came into Chen Chong's ears. He followed the sound and found that it was Zhou Jie who was unwilling to do so, that is, the middle-aged man who pretended to be the acting chef of Dashi outside the arena.

At this time, the latter's face was filled with smiles, and there was no such "expert" attitude as before.

To be honest, rather than this, Chen Chong hopes that Jay Chou can hold it a little, at least in terms of visual effects, it is very good.

"Is there something wrong?"

Regarding Zhou Jie, Chen Chong's attitude is not good or bad. He said that the two sides had the first time meeting and their tone was very calm.

"Well, Master Chen, do you know what to compete next?"

"have no idea."

"I don't even know." Jay Chou felt a little regretful.

"What does it mean that I don't even know, should I know?" Chen Chong was puzzled. Could it be that this guy regarded himself as a saint who was predicted by the uncertainty? But shouldn't this "unique skill" belong to Jay Chou himself?

"No, no, I don't mean that." Jay Chou wanted to bring the relationship closer together, but he noticed the ambiguity in his words and quickly explained: "I just admire you very much and want to hear your opinions."

"No, don't worship me, I have no objection, let it go." Chen Chong glanced at the other party with a strange expression. This guy is simply the best, his face and emotions change so quickly that it is dazzling.

To be honest, he is really a talented person to be a chef. If he can develop in his acting career, at least he will be a gold medal passerby in the crew.

What a good actor who was delayed by a chef.

"It's better to let things go, it's better to let things go. I have lived for more than 30 years and have never learned your mentality." Jay Chou's words successfully aroused the contempt of other chefs around him.

Big brother, it’s past! It’s past!

Chen Chong also heard it and his lips twitched and his scalp was numb. Are you really not afraid of being kicked by a horse when flattering like this?

He immediately concluded that even if Jay Chou could become a good actor, his acting skills would probably become a qualified corpse in the director's mind.

Because the lines of the corpse are very limited, there is only one word: Ah!

Of course, if the word "Ah" can be called just right and plays the final touch, there should be room for improvement.

“What a mess…”

Chen Chong dispersed the scene in his mind and did not dare to look at Zhou Jie. He was really afraid, and he was even worried that when he saw this guy later, he would think of the scene of death like a ghost.

If this is Zhao Xiaokang's method, then he will successfully influence Chen Chong.

Jay Chou obviously realized that Chen Chong didn't want to pay attention to him, so he shut up and turned around.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Chong took a sneak peek at the vegetable basket on the table in front, which were very large in size, whether it was beef, potatoes, or carrots.

It seems that this is why Jay Chou was drawn from the first stage. He did not handle the ingredients carefully, but just did it and followed a process.

"It's quite smart." Chen Chong curled his lips.

I have to admit that although Jay Chou treated the ingredients very roughly, he was at least still standing on the field and not being eliminated as soon as possible, which was considered a small gain.

"Staff are invited to enter again!"

In just two minutes, the host's voice interrupted everyone's voice in the venue. Immediately, I saw the staff wearing cheongsams who had left before walking out of the entrance passage one by one.

They did not have silver plates in their hands, but held a large piece covered with red cloth in their hands. No one could guess what it was. The only thing they could see was that all the staff struggled while walking, as if the things under the red cloth were not light.

Immediately afterwards, they came to their respective corresponding contestants' tables, and only placed them on the table after the last person was in place.

Bang.

The sound of metal collisions came from under the red cloth, which was not obvious at first, but more than 400 similar sounds were made at the same time, and the scene was still quite exaggerated.

"Please reveal it." Liu Hua said.

call out!

call out!

call out!

…

The red cloth is made of silk, and when rubbing against the objects inside, the sound is very soft and silky, and it is not harsh at all.

However, everyone in the audience was not attracted by the sound, but looked at the thing covered by the red cloth at the first time, which was clearly a stove and a pot!

"Is this going to cook?"

"What kind of dishes are fried? Does everyone stir-fry the same dishes? After all, everyone's ingredients are the same."

"I'll think about it when it comes to cooking, why don't there be any corresponding seasonings? How should I stir-fry it?"

"I guess I have to wait for the staff to go there again. After all, they are all girls. It's too inhumane to get everything at once."

"Yeah, it makes sense."

"Everyone has the same ingredients, the same seasonings, and even the pot and stove are the same, which is interesting..."

"Well, why do I always feel something is wrong?"

…

While the audience whispered, hundreds of contestants on the field gradually frowned.

Chen Chong picked up the wok on the stove. The weight and material of the pot were very ordinary, and it was not even better than the pot used in the restaurant. And if you guessed correctly, this was a brand new pot. It had not gone through the "boiling" step, and at most it was washed with water.

When I first bought the two giant woks, Bingbing, under her own guidance, heated the pot while scrubbing the fat pork circle by circle, repeating it several times to know that the pork no longer turns black.

This method is to prevent rust and non-stick the pan in the future, or to remove some residual impurities from the new pan before leaving the factory at high temperature.

Of course, there are many ways to start the pot, but the purpose is the same.

Therefore, Chen Chong judged that the wok in front of him was just to deal with the competition and never considered the later use. However, there is another thing worth noting that since there is no boiling pot, the ingredients will definitely be more or less sticky when cooking. This will not only affect the shape of the ingredients and the taste after the dish is finished, but also lack the "pot steam".

Pot gas is a very important part of Chinese delicacies. It refers to the burnt fragrance caused by the moment when the ingredients and the pot are stir-fried at high temperature. The ingredients are attached to the pot. This burnt fragrance is one more part burnt, and one less partly not fragrant. It is in the critical state between burnt and fragrant. Only those who often cook will have a slight understanding, but it does not have the exquisite control of the chef.

For the chef, it is not difficult to stir-fry out the pot. What is difficult is that the ingredients are all dipped in the pot, and thankfully, three mouthfuls of God!

The gas stove under the wok is very simple, square, and it is an outdoor integrated stove.

This approach is not difficult to understand. It is impossible for hundreds of contestants on the field to use hundreds of natural gas tanks at the same time. It is too concentrated, too dense, and too dangerous. Once an accident occurs, it will be disastrous.

Chen Chong approached the stove and smelled it. He could smell a faint smell of diesel. Obviously, this thing is made of diesel as fuel. However, the firepower of this stove is not much greater and is not comparable to that of ordinary restaurants.

"What exactly do the organizer do? This kind of equipment is enough to make food, but it is difficult to make exquisite food." Chen Chong put down the wok and looked at the ingredients in the vegetable basket. "If the ingredients are not restricted, you can choose some ingredients that do not require high heat to cook. However, the staff did not remove the vegetable basket before, which means that these ingredients are useful and will inevitably be used in the second stage. However, carrots, potatoes, beef, tofu and fish have very high requirements for heat.

Unless, unless everyone makes these dishes into soup pots or braised, this will greatly limit the competition's skills... it is too unreasonable."

At this point, Chen Chong looked at all the chefs who could see from all directions, including strange faces and familiar faces, such as Li Shenghui from the Food City, Chen Ruyun from the bamboo forest tea garden, Gu Shangsheng from the ancient road fishing palace, Qi Ya from the Wangjiang Pavilion, etc. No matter who it was, he was frowning and confused at the moment.
