The strongest gourmet food system

Chapter 1276 Chapter 317

Some time ago, some contestants were worried that because the judges were almost all Chinese, the judgment results would be unfavorable to foreign contestants.

But today's matchup almost solved this problem.

Erina, Catherine, and Bayer are all good at Western food. The duel between them can minimize the judges' preference for cuisine.

In the lower half, Fu Xiuyun, Cheng Huaizhi, Liu Haolin, and Zheng Ke are all good at Chinese cuisine, so everyone is on the same starting line.

In the finals, the number of judges became five, and only two of them were Chinese.

By chance and coincidence, the grouping of the knockout rounds became fair, which Zheng Ke never expected before.

"Next, I'll announce the title of the knockout round." After the audience's discussion gradually died down, the host picked up the microphone again.

Zheng Ke rubbed his hands. If the culinary skills of the two sides are similar, then the topic of the competition will largely determine the trend of the competition.

Even though he tried Liu Haolin's dishes, Liu Haolin didn't give his best at that time, so Zheng Ke still only knew that he was "better than Que Zhengqing".

Now, Zheng Ke can only hope that the topic of the quarterfinals will not be too weird.

The matchup table on the big screen disappeared and was replaced by the title of the quarterfinals.

In the morning of the 19th, poultry; in the afternoon, seafood; in the morning of the 20th, livestock meat; in the afternoon, game.

Game?What is this topic?
Zheng Ke put his hand on his forehead, feeling a little helpless.

One of the characteristics of Cantonese cuisine is the good use of wild game, such as snakes and civet cats as ingredients, which are not rare.

Liu Haolin is a disciple of Mo Xiaohe, the master of Cantonese cuisine, and he probably knows these dishes by heart.It can be said that this topic was tailor-made for him.

However, although this topic is very friendly to Liu Haolin, Zheng Ke is not worried about himself.At worst, he also cooks Cantonese cuisine.Let Mo Xiaohe, who is the chief judge, comment on their dishes.

After the game, the audience left one after another, and under the guidance of the staff, they left the arena in an orderly manner.

The five contestants also returned to the lounge and changed out of their chef uniforms.

The end of the group stage heralded the departure of some players from this year's the-blue competition. In this one game alone, 12 players were eliminated, which made many reporters sigh.

As the winners, Zheng Ke and Que Zhengqing also became the focus of the media.

Some Huaxia reporters also took this time to ask Zheng Ke a few questions, and Zheng Ke answered them patiently.Apart from Chinese reporters, Japanese reporters are keen to ask Zheng Ke questions.

Among these Japanese reporters, Zheng Ke also has a few acquaintances. After all, he spent two years in Yuanyue Academy, and he was interviewed by them in some competitions.

As for Western journalists, there are not many.

Zheng Ke speculated that they should interview Catherine and Bayer in other arenas.

After accepting the interview for half an hour, the organizer sent news that the interview had come to an end for the time being and informed Zheng Ke and Que Zhengqing to return to Xingli Hotel.

Zheng Ke and Que Zhengqing could only say sorry to the reporters and follow the organizing committee staff to leave the venue.

Back at Xingli Hotel, Zheng Ke put the knives and luggage back in the dormitory, took a shower, changed into loose clothes, then called Catherine and was told that she was eating in the restaurant.

Zheng Ke hurried to the restaurant on the first floor and saw Catherine and Anel sitting opposite each other.

Catherine held a pen and was thinking about something, while Anel held a straw in her mouth, puffed her cheeks, and blew bubbles into the milk tea.

Zheng Ke came over, pulled out a chair and sat down, while Ai Nier gave him a gloomy look, then continued to blow bubbles, and the sound of gurgling came from the cup.

The depression of not being in the knockout round was vented with a dull voice.

Zheng Ke did not comfort Ani'er. He knew that a hundred words he said were not worth one word from Catherine; moreover, the frustration caused by losing the game really needed to be vented.

After Catherine saw Zheng Ke sitting down, she also put away her pen and paper, looked at Zheng Ke, and narrowed her eyes.

"Congratulations, you have successfully entered the second half," Catherine said.

Zheng Ke is not in the same half area as her, which is a good thing.The two really have a chance to confront each other, and that's only in the finals.

She is very satisfied with this grouping.

"Thank you." Zheng Ke thanked him, picked up the menu, and ordered a lotus leaf squab slices and rice, "What are you doing?"

"What else can I do? Prepare for the next round of competition." Catherine yawned, obviously a little tired, "Think about what dishes can be made, let the restaurant prepare some ingredients, and start cooking dishes tomorrow."

Zheng Ke nodded slightly.

"Your opponent in the next round is Erina, it should be no problem to enter the next round." Zheng Ke said.

"I can't say that, I don't allow myself to make any mistakes." Catherine said firmly.

"Can't you give others a chance?" Zheng Ke joked.

"Impossible, even if the opponent is you, I will never show mercy." Catherine glanced at Zheng Ke provocatively.

Zheng Ke shrugged his shoulders and lost his temper.

"By the way, I remember your opponent is Liu Haolin, right?" Catherine remembered this incident.

"That's right." Zheng Ke nodded slightly.

"The theme is game?" Catherine asked uncertainly.

"Yes."

"What are you going to cook?"

"Dog meat." Zheng Ke thought for a while and said casually.

"How dare you!" Catherine pouted, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and her face turned red in an instant.

"Ahem...I'm just joking." Zheng Ke waved his hand quickly. The French love dogs far more than people in other countries imagined, and Paris is even called "the paradise of dogs".Therefore, Catherine was certainly dissatisfied when she heard that Zheng Ke was making dog meat.

"Don't make such jokes again in the future," Catherine complained.

Zheng Ke nodded and secretly said "It's a pity" in his heart.

"Is snake meat okay?" Zheng Ke asked again.

"No, disgusting." Catherine didn't give Zheng Ke a chance to bargain at all, "Except for these two, you can choose any other ingredients."

That also has to give me a chance to choose.

Zheng Ke frowned.

Dog meat and snake meat cannot be used. Animals such as bear paws and pangolins are protected animals and there is no way to use them. You can’t use civet cats as ingredients, right?
But Zheng Ke has a resistance to civets, so he doesn't want to make dishes related to civets.What is left is nothing more than household ingredients such as pheasants, pigeons or pheasants. Do we need to use them?
"Can't you find the right ingredients?" Catherine whispered when she saw Zheng Ke's troubled expression.

Zheng Ke shook his head, "I have to think about it."

"How about using snakes?" Catherine hated snakes, but she didn't want to embarrass Zheng Ke too much.

"No, there are still three days left. There must be a suitable way."

Since Catherine doesn't like snakes, Zheng Ke will not use ingredients that make her uncomfortable.
