"I also want to exchange pointers with Head Chef Yuan," Gauss said.
"The exchange will be held after the finals. It's better not to disturb Head Chef Yuan now," Ogyust said.
What he meant was obvious. As a judge, why did he want to exchange pointers with the contestants?
Was he going to invite the contestants to the judges' table?!
Although Ogyust and Gauss both knew that it wouldn't be a problem for them to go to the judges' table, they still had to take care of the contestants during the competition.
What if the contestants found out that they were competing with the judges and had a mental breakdown?
One had to admit that Ogyust was quite thoughtful.
In an ordinary family in France.
"Mom, do you know how to cook Chinese dishes?" a 13-year-old freckled boy asked.
"You only know Kung Pao Chicken?" The mother thought for a while and said, "This is the only Chinese dish I know. Why do you suddenly want to eat Chinese dishes?"
Kung Pao Chicken was one of the most famous dishes abroad.
"In the cooking competition just now, a Chinese chef named Yuan got full marks. I have a lot of videos on my Twitter and they all look amazing," the boy said.
The boy was a perfect example. Yuan Zhou won first place and caused a commotion on Twitter. As the top gourmet competition in Europe, it attracted a lot of attention.
Many celebrities also expressed their opinions on the competition. Anyway, this round of publicity was very high.
"It's hard to imagine that Head Chef Bordraco's food is not first place."
"Does Head Chef Yuan have it in his restaurant? I'm going to give it a try. "
"Head Chef Julian didn't even use his Moon Man. Obviously, he didn't use his full strength. That's why the Chinese chef got first place by luck. Of course, he must be capable to get such high marks."
"Is it so hard for you people to admit that this Chinese chef is excellent? I think his cooking skills are at least top three among the contestants. "
…
Although there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, Yuan Zhou didn't have the habit of going on Twitter. Therefore, he didn't know that he had also caused a stir on the European Internet.
The exchange with the chefs was very pleasant. Time passed quickly. When Yuan Zhou returned to the hotel, it was already night time.
After dinner, it was already eight o 'clock in the evening. It was not early. Cheng Zhao Mei took out the notebook on the field and rearranged the details before closing it.
"Master, these are my notes from today's competition. Should I show them to you?" Cheng Zhao Mei asked.
"There's no need for that. It's fine as long as you can understand it. Don't forget to write three essays," Yuan Zhou said.
"Yes, Master," Cheng Zhao Mei replied.
"Are there any problems with your Junior Brothers and Sisters today? Are there any problems?" Yuan Zhou took the time to care about his disciples.
"Da Shi told me an hour ago that they had all returned to the hotel and planned to have a short meeting to summarize today's findings," Cheng Zhao Mei said.
Although Huang Gang and Zhang Longquan of Cantonese Cuisine were the oldest among the nominal disciples, Da Shi Xiujie had the best relationship with Engineer Cheng. Generally, he was the one who conveyed the message to Engineer Cheng.
Of course, Da Shi Xiujie had a good sense of propriety. Although he had a good reputation among the nominal disciples, he was still very humble and low-key. At most, he was a little more attentive to his master and wanted to learn more about his master's culinary skills. There was nothing wrong with that. Therefore, he was the most popular one.
"That's good." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
Yuan Zhou heaved a sigh. There was no chance today. He could only find time tomorrow to visit the restaurant. It was not easy for him to come to France. Yuan Zhou still wanted to take a walk on the street, but the competition was the most important.
"Head Chef Ogyust told me that I don't need to use my full strength in the competition of 20 to 10 on the first day. But it's still really difficult to preserve my strength," Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
As he had said before, Yuan Zhou would go all out no matter who his customers were. Therefore, it was really impossible for him to preserve his strength.
However, what Head Chef Ogyust said was based on his experience. Therefore, Yuan Zhou could only cook with ordinary skills.
"Even his Knife Skills are the most ordinary. It's the kind of horizontal knife and cutting knife that any chef can do. There are no skills. It should be considered that he is preserving his strength," Yuan Zhou muttered.
Well — any chef can do that.
Before going to bed at night, he went through all the dishes he had prepared. Yuan Zhou didn't know the topic of the final. Neither Ogyust nor Manfred would reveal the topic. Likewise, Yuan Zhou didn't need that kind of care.
The reason why he prepared was mainly to guess the topic. Yuan Zhou had studied the previous finals and found that the topics were generally about "Goose", "Ham", and "Steak". Therefore, he made some small preparations for these three kinds.
As for the Steak, Yuan Zhou could say loudly, "I'm invincible. You can do whatever you want."
As for the Ham, Yuan Zhou had prepared a combination of several Cantonese and Spanish dishes.
As for the Goose, Yuan Zhou didn't intend to preserve his strength in the final. He wanted to know more about the Butcher Dismembering the Ox. Butcher Dismembering the Goose!
The next day.
The second round was to determine the top eight out of ten.
"The theme of this Bogus Cooking Competition is farmland and fish. There are no specific ingredients this time. It's all up to you. You have two hours to make a main dish."
Towards the end, Jack's voice became louder and louder. He was obviously very excited. Even the audience was greatly excited by him. Loud cheers immediately rang out.
After a while, Jack signaled for everyone to quiet down. Then he announced again, "The competition officially begins."
Although it was still on the same stage, the previous 20 stoves had already been removed. Now there were 10 stoves on the stage. Except for Yuan Zhou, there were exactly 10 stoves on the stage.
Although Yuan Zhou didn't need to participate in the competition today, he still came to the scene with Cheng Zhao Mei. However, he didn't sit with the audience. Instead, the organizing committee arranged a separate seat for him. It was a special treatment.
Soon, the competition began. All the chefs started to get busy.
Although the scope of the competition seemed to be very wide, the chefs were all experienced chefs. They already knew what to do.
It was very busy on the stage. Yuan Zhou also watched carefully. Because he didn't need to cook, he would occasionally remind Technician Cheng when Zhao Mei got stuck, so that she could understand it.
Chef Ogyust is right. I don't need to do my best in the first competition. I need to conserve my strength, Yuan Zhou thought to himself.
As he wasn't on the stage, he had more time to observe the cooking of the head chefs after he changed the angle. With his eyesight, he could easily find that some chefs were concealing their skills. Of course, only those with the best culinary skills were qualified to do so. Otherwise, they would be eliminated if they acted blindly.
Two hours passed quickly. This time, only two chefs needed to be eliminated. Including the one who was guaranteed to enter the competition, there were only nine chefs left in the competition. The nine chefs made nine dishes, and the evaluation was very fast. In total, it only took them an hour to finish.
As usual, Jack stood in the center of the stage and announced the result. "The chefs who will enter the finals of the Bogus Cooking Competition are Chef Podraco, Chef Steele, Chef Julian, and Chef Portman …"
As Jack announced the end of the competition, the competition officially came to an end.
