In the competition, Podraco got the highest score. His crispy baked sea bass won unanimous praise from the judges.
His scores were 1A +, 3A, and 2A-.
It was a pretty good result, but it couldn't be compared with Yuan Zhou's 6A +.
After the competition was over, Podraco went to the judges and wanted to ask why his points were deducted.
"Zhao Mei, tell Chairman Zhou that I have something to think about. I need to go back now." Yuan Zhou rushed to the hotel immediately after the competition.
He was afraid that Xiao Ya would be worried, so he sent a short message to Yin Ya.
"Yes, master." Cheng Zhao Mei nodded. She could see that her master seemed to have gained something.
Indeed, Yuan Zhou did gain something from his observation just now. To be precise, he felt something from Julien and Stehle.
The two chefs' knife skills had a special characteristic. They liked to "press the knife", which was different from the press in the game and the chef's circle. They held the knife with one hand and pressed the end of the blade with the other, forming a special method.
Of course, this was not the method that Yuan Zhou realized. He could see at a glance that the two chefs did this just to reduce the number of knife changes.
Foreign chefs had many knives in a set. By using this method, they could reduce the number of knife changes. However, Yuan Zhou only used one knife from the beginning to the end.
Yuan Zhou suddenly realized that the Three Beasts Crossing was dexterity, stability, and lightness. The understanding of Ding's Ox-Dismembering Knife had reached the extreme. Could you create a second kind of knife skill from the three aspects of weight, balance, and pressure?
Once he had an idea, he would put it into practice. He started to try it in the suite.
Time passed very quickly when he was busy. The moon was about to rise, and soon, it was the second day of the competition.
It was the same time and place, but there were only eight chefs competing on the stage now.
With the reduction of the stoves and the number of people, the stage, which was already big, became much wider.
However, the organizing committee didn't set the stoves too far away from each other, so there was more space. Since the eliminated chefs could also watch the competition, their seats were arranged on the other side of the organizing group, which was the leftmost part of the stage.
Of course, the height of the platform was different. At this time, the twelve eliminated head chefs were all here.
The number of chefs had decreased, but the number of spectators had increased. This was the last round of the Bogus World Cooking Competition, and all the standing tickets had been sold out.
I'm sure you've also heard it. There are three days for the competition, and the tickets are sold in three batches. The last day is the most expensive.
Not only were there tourists, but there were also more reporters than the previous two days. Yuan Zhou did not see the familiar Peugeot Dog among the reporters.
That's right, this magazine had gotten an invitation from somewhere and entered.
"Chief Editor, there are bets outside today on Boss Yuan's odds of 1 to 1.6." The reporter said, "The most popular ones are Podraco and Julien. Boss Yuan ranks fourth in the middle, and it's because of the full reviews for the first round."
"A group of rookies who have never been dominated by Boss Yuan. Bet 1,000 euros on Boss Yuan." The chief editor took out the money and suddenly asked, "Who are you betting on?"
"Boss Yuan, of course. We Chinese people should support Chinese people," the reporter said immediately.
The chief editor nodded. Chinese people should support Chinese people. Besides, how could Yuan Zhou lose?
Wow!
When the eight chefs were choosing stoves, there was even background music. Was this the BGM of the competition?
Yuan Zhou still chose the one in the corner on the left, which was closer to Zhou Shijie's seats. It was a show of respect for Chairman Zhou and his apprentices.
Jack was in high spirits as soon as he got on the stage. His state influenced the audience, and they were all in high spirits.
"Keep the golden chef in France!"
"Take down the third golden chef in Sweden!"
"Italian cuisine is invincible!"
The cheering crowd didn't support the chefs, but their countries. Of course, if there were no chefs from their own country on the stage, they would support chefs from other countries.
"Welcome to the finals of the Bogus Cooking Competition. Your enthusiasm makes me even more excited."
"I'm the host, Jack. The theme of the finals is —"
"Culture and Goose. I look forward to your wonderful dishes. Each chef will prepare one main dish in this competition. The time limit is two hours," Jack said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience started to discuss among themselves. The main point was how this culture was connected to Goose. It felt weird.
Not to mention the audience, even a few chefs on the stage looked a little confused. Obviously, they also had some doubts about the theme. The combination of culture and goose was really weird.
But the chefs didn't wonder for too long. The chefs who could make it to this stage all had their own understanding of cooking. It didn't take long for the chefs on the stage to move.
Eight chefs and assistants were only about 20 people, which was considered a small number. However, there were fewer people on the field, so Cheng Zhaomei's actions were more conspicuous. Many audiences under the stage had noticed him, who was just a mascot, in the first round.
Cheng Zhao Mei was also thick-skinned. He turned a blind eye to their gazes. If he could learn something, so what?
This might be the difference between Cheng Zhao Mei and Dashi Xiujie.
Now that the competition was in progress, they had no spare time to care about other people's business. Most of them just glanced at the stage and then went to the food warehouse to choose ingredients.
The theme of the finals didn't specify the main ingredient, which was different from the first and second rounds. There was more room for free expression. It was also the last round.
All the head chefs were full of energy, wanting to take out their own special skills to show off.
As for Yuan Zhou, he did the same thing as before. He first tidied up the things on the stove, washed them, cleaned them, and wiped them. Then he slowly went to choose ingredients.
With the outstanding performance on the first day, the audience didn't have any opinions about such behavior anymore. Even those who didn't know about it would be popularized.
For example, a blonde hot girl asked curiously, "This Huaxia chef brought a useless assistant chef. Isn't he going to hurry up?"
"Don't worry. It was the same in the first round. But his speed was faster than the other three. He was the last to start the first round, but he finished it first and got full marks."
"Oh? I'm looking forward to it. "
…
As for Ju Man Li, although his eyes were still on Yuan Zhou, he didn't say anything. On the contrary, he was very focused.
Some changes on the stage were not clear to the audience, but as the judges who could see the whole scene, they all knew in their hearts that Yuan Zhou was the center of the change. The judges on Ju Man Li's side had mixed feelings that were hard to describe.
Of course, it couldn't be seen on their faces. All of them sat there solemnly like a big judge, looking very solemn and respectful.
Today, Ju Man Li didn't argue with him, so Ogyust felt a little unaccustomed. He glanced at Ju Man Li, who had a serious face, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. "Look, this guy is still so stubborn."
