Chapter 353
Wen Xiao was busy for half the night before she watched with satisfaction that the production time was reduced to 1 hour.

In this way, even if there is an accident, it is enough to complete the whole dish.

The uneasiness in Wen Xiao's heart eased a little. After washing, she lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

In order to prevent trouble, Wen Xiao seldom leaves the house these days. Apart from experimenting with new dishes with the raw materials provided by the hotel every day, she just sleeps soundly. On the day of the competition, the contestants who come out every day to inquire about the news are a little nervous and tired. Wen Xiao's face was full of red, obviously living a good life.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start." The host hurriedly glanced at the contestants and read the rules of the game carefully.

"Rules for the preliminary competition: Contestants choose among the specified ingredients, each has two dishes, and at least one of them is a meat dish, and the time limit is one and a half hours."

"After the dishes are made, the judges present will conduct on-site comments. Each group of judges will rate each group of contestants, and each group will select three people to participate in the semi-finals."

"Now, let the first group of contestants go to the field to pick the ingredients, and the rest of the contestants will wait in the waiting area."

Wen Xiao was in the second group, and she would not be on stage until at least two hours later. She sat on the waiting seat, looked around, and found that Tang Yang and Bi Xia were both in the second group.

The total number of people in a group is ten, and there are five groups in total. How come it is such a coincidence that three people are in the second group?
Wen Xiao settled down and looked towards the stage.

The contestants picked up the ingredients in a hurry, and some of the more popular ingredients on the chopping board quickly ran out.

Wen Xiao frowned, somewhat puzzled by the arrangement of the competition.

The ingredients are limited, so the contestants can only grab them, and everyone must not want to take less but only willing to take more.

And one step later, wouldn't there be nothing to use?
It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. No matter how superb the cooking skills are, it's useless without high-quality raw materials.

After more than ten minutes of tossing, the last contestant just walked to the cooking table and began to process the ingredients in sweat.

An hour passed, and most people were busy loading dishes, only a few were still nervously waiting for the dishes in the pot to take shape.

Wen Xiao looked at it seriously, and felt that just looking at the heat, at least two of them were doing pretty well, and among the two, the one who grasped the heat better and was always unhurried and methodical was actually a petite girl. !
It stands to reason that it is very labor-intensive to snatch the ingredients and deal with them intensively. The girl cooks exquisite Western-style meals, so there are more points to pay attention to. Unexpectedly, she didn't even break a sweat. He is well-trained and has seen many big scenes.

In the judges' seat, an old man with white hair pushed his eyes, and a look of satisfaction flashed across his smiling face.

When the time was up, there was one person who didn't have time to put the dishes on the plate, so he had to pour the dishes into the dish, and handed the dishes to the waiter around him listlessly.

"Next, I will ask the waiter to bring us the dishes of the No. [-] contestant Alasher—steam pot chicken and taro cake."

The judges took a small bite of the dish, put it in their mouths, tasted it, and then drew a few strokes on the paper.

"The ingredients are not rough, but the menu is too poor." A judge shook his head and said, "Although a dish like taro cake is simple, it is not easy to show your personal cooking skills, especially your grasp of its softness and hardness. Not in place, making this dish very unappetizing!"

The burly man at No. [-] lowered his head in frustration.

 It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. It comes from Volume [-] of Song Lu You's "Notes on Laoxuean": "Yan Jingchu Shangshu, invited a monk to be hospitalized, and the monk said that it is impossible to be poor. Jingchu said: 'Great talent is easy to hear.' The monk said:' Can a clever woman make noodle soup and pancakes?’” The original meaning is that even a smart and capable woman cannot cook without rice; it is a metaphor that it is difficult to do things without the necessary conditions.
