Although I respect Mr. Ogyust, it's not right to give a Chinese chef such a big privilege.
I'll do my best this time. Who cares about the Chinese chefs? Podraco thought to himself. He didn't say anything to make things difficult for Yuan Zhou, because that would affect the prestige of the competition.
Looking at Yuan Zhou, who was almost out of his sight, Podraco was full of confidence. He had always thought that his French cuisine was invincible. Only Chu Xiao could pose a slight threat to him, but Chu Xiao was too young.
Podraco was in his forties this year. He was the pillar of traditional French cuisine and the most popular chef in this year's Bogus World Cooking Competition.
Similar to Ju Man Lee, Podraco didn't like Chinese food and looked down on Asian chefs, but he was indeed a real chef.
Ignoring the others, Podraco led his team to the car. He planned to take the car to the venue.
Yuan Zhou and Engineer Cheng walked slowly to the venue. The alleys they chose were only wide enough for people to pass, not cars. Yuan Zhou didn't know if the venue was under lockdown, but he didn't see anyone when he walked past.
Don't think that their movements were slow just because they were walking step by step. In fact, the two of them were quite fast.
Fifty meters away from the entrance, there were two rows of reporters with their cameras. As the world's largest cooking competition, it must be a big scene.
When Yuan Zhou and Engineer Cheng were about to turn to the entrance for the contestants, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Dressed in a rose-red dress, her skin was snow-white and delicate, her facial features were exquisite and beautiful, and her long black hair was tied into a bun with a dark red wooden hairpin. The beautiful oriental lady attracted the attention of many people. There were even enthusiastic and hearty foreign men who ran up to her to strike up a conversation, but unfortunately, the beauty did not pay any attention to them.
"It's Xiao Ya." Yuan Zhou revealed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. He asked Master Cheng to wait on the spot while he walked towards the entrance in a few steps.
As he got closer, Yuan Zhou realized that Yin Ya must have dressed up meticulously today. She looked very beautiful.
"Yin Ya, why are you here? Are you done with your work?" Yuan Zhou took a few steps and arrived in front of Yin Ya.
"Blockhead, I wish you success. I'm here to cheer for you." When Yin Ya saw Yuan Zhou's eyes lit up, she immediately revealed a big smile.
Yin Ya went forward and hugged Yuan Zhou. After waiting for a few minutes, she saw Yuan Zhou. Yin Ya was very excited.
As Yin Ya approached, a fragrant aroma assaulted the tip of Yuan Zhou's nose. Yuan Zhou felt warm in his heart. Even though his face had always been tense, he couldn't help but reveal a smile.
"Thank you, Little Ya. I will definitely do my best," Yuan Zhou said.
"Blockhead will definitely win!" Yin Ya blushed and let go of Yuan Zhou. She nodded affirmatively.
She was very confident in Yuan Zhou, but this didn't prevent her from cheering for Yuan Zhou. This was the common thought of all the people who came to watch the competition.
Whether it was Zhou Shijie, the customers of the restaurant, or even the group of Michelin Three Stars chefs who specially asked for leave, they all had extraordinary confidence in Yuan Zhou. They all wanted to see Yuan Zhou conquer the Bogus World Cooking Competition.
"Is your workplace far from here?" Yuan Zhou reacted and began to worry about Yin Ya's safety.
"Don't worry. My colleague, Jin Min, came with me. She went to the toilet. Our workplace is not far from here. I didn't tell you before that the company is going on a business trip nearby. There will definitely be no problem," Yin Ya said with a smile.
"That's good." Yuan Zhou nodded and didn't say anything else.
Originally, Yin Ya had prepared a gift for Yuan Zhou, but she knew Yuan Zhou's rules. Before cooking, he would absolutely wash everything, so she planned to give it to him after the competition.
As the preparation time approached, the two didn't chat for too long. When Yin Ya's colleague came back, the two said goodbye and parted ways.
When Yuan Zhou and Engineer Cheng entered the preparation room from the entrance, most of the contestants had already arrived.
As soon as Yuan Zhou walked in, everyone looked at him warmly. After all, he was the only Asian among the audience, so he was very conspicuous.
"Is that a special chef?"
"I heard Chef Ju Man mention it."
"It's really the first time that a Chinese chef has entered the European finals."
Yuan Zhou had already gotten used to people's attention. These gazes couldn't even be compared to the drizzle of the black beast. Thus, he walked towards his room calmly.
In order to let the chefs perform their best and also to ensure the fairness and openness of the competition, the organizers had drawn a number in advance, which was the number of their respective rooms, in order to let the chefs perform their best and to ensure the fairness and openness of the competition.
That's right, each contestant had a room, which was quite large. As soon as Yuan Zhou entered, he found that the room was almost 50 square meters, which was quite large.
Thinking about it carefully, only Yuan Zhou came here alone. All the other contestants had brought a team of chefs. Of course, the rules of the competition stated that one person could bring at most three assistants, and the assistants could only be sous-chefs or disciples.
Otherwise, it would be unfair for two good chefs to form a team together.
"Zhao Mei, after the competition, find a place to feel and learn." Yuan Zhou said.
"Yes, master." Zhao Mei nodded vigorously.
Yuan Zhou planned to bring Zhao Mei to the competition to feel the atmosphere. More importantly, he wanted to observe the skills of the chefs at a close distance, so that he could learn something from them.
Yuan Zhou had full confidence in Cheng Zhaomei's learning ability. He had experienced Cheng Zhaomei's learning ability before he accepted him as his disciple.
This was also the reason why Yuan Zhou had brought Engineer Cheng to the competition. Otherwise, Yuan Zhou would definitely come to Lyon alone.
The other contestants did not know about this. When they saw that Yuan Zhou only brought one person, they felt that this chef was a bit arrogant.
There were historical precedents. Arrogant chefs in this level of competition never ended well.
"Yuan only has one assistant?" Steele and Urhiya got together again.
"I don't know. Just do your best. Both Bordleck and Yuan are strong opponents." Urhiya's idea was simple. No matter who the opponent was, he just needed to do his best.
Steele thought that made sense. She nodded and began to think about the dishes she was going to cook.
Bordleck, who was in a good mood, looked around, sizing up the chefs that he thought were more threatening. His gaze lingered on Steele and Urhiya for a long time.
Soon, the cooking competition officially began.
First, all the contestants were led to the high platform by the competition staff. At this time, there were already 20 separate stoves on the high platform.
There were a lot of audience from all over the world. No matter whether they knew the chefs, as soon as Yuan Zhou and the other chefs got on the platform, the audience began to cheer. The atmosphere was good.
