Starting from winning the food competition

Chapter 6 Official Competition
When I came to the Culinary Association, I made all preparations.

Someone kept calling out: "All the masters participating in the competition, please rush to the competition waiting area to register as soon as possible. Registration will be stopped 3 minutes before the competition. If you exceed the time limit, you will automatically lose your qualification for the competition."

Wang Gang smiled: "Three masters, go in and get ready, we will cheer for you in the auditorium."

"Thank you chef."

"It's okay, it should be, the masters can get a good ranking will be of great help to the reputation of our hotel."

To enter the competition waiting area, you also need to verify your identity.

After the inspection, the staff will guide you in to get the race number plate.

The number plates of the three are 23, 24 and 25 respectively.

After receiving it, a staff member said again: "Three masters, the number plates determine the order in which you will play in the game. Masters No. 21 to No. 30 are all in the third game at 11:[-]. Don't remember the wrong time, and you will be there later." There will be corresponding reminders."

"Okay, thank you."

In the backstage waiting area, there are three dedicated large screens, from which you can directly see the match scene.

Naturally, it is for other masters who have no competition.

In addition to wanting to compete by yourself, you also need to look at other people's competitions.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will win a hundred battles.

Soon the time came to 9:1, and masters No. 10 to No. [-] went to the competition.

At 9:40, the first round officially started.

Although there is a system, it is the first time to participate in a food competition. When I think of facing many judges and audiences, I suddenly feel a little nervous.

"Master Xiaolin, are you a little nervous?" Zhang Shengwei asked with a smile.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Lin Beiyang was a little nervous, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Lin Beiyang responded nervously.

"That's right, Master Zhang. This is my first time participating in a food competition, and I'm a little nervous. I'm worried that something will go wrong when I cook later, which will lead to a decrease in my score."

Zhang Shengwei put his hand on Lin Beiyang's shoulder.

He smiled and said: "Don't be nervous. If you have extra thoughts during the competition, you can take a deep breath to relieve them. I participated in the competition for the first time, and I was more nervous than you. During the competition, I almost couldn't hold the spatula steadily. Even if you don’t get good grades in the end, don’t feel pressured, it’s your first time participating, and the chef won’t say anything if you don’t get good grades.”

Liu Leijun also smiled and said: "Master Xiaolin, Lao Zhang is right, don't be nervous, just treat it as cooking at home, we are optimistic that you will have no problems."

Two people comforted Lin Beiyang, and Lin Beiyang did relax a lot.

Still a little nervous, but much better than before.

"Thank you two masters. I feel much better now than before. I believe that the next game will be fine."

Thinking that he still has a system, Lin Beiyang is not very worried.

As long as you keep it up, you will definitely win the championship.

That was 10 cash, and no one would refuse it.

Zhang Shengwei smiled and nodded: "That's fine. You can use this little time to watch their games. It will be of some help to you."

"Ok."

While the game was going on normally, Lin Beiyang's mood gradually calmed down.

At 10 o'clock sharp, the first dish of the first round of competition, Mapo Tofu, was ready and brought to the judges, who would score after tasting.

There are five judges in total, all of whom are well-known chefs from the Sichuan cuisine industry. Everyone's cooking skills are very good and they have won numerous awards.

They are definitely the authority on this subject and the scores given will be fair and impartial.

It will not be said that there is a particularly low or a particularly high score.

After all, the ability of the five people is not much different, and the criteria for judging a dish will be similar, so the difference in scores will not be particularly large.

A sudden low score, or a sudden high score, is bound to cause problems.

After the tasting, everyone gives their corresponding points.

Add up the scores and divide by the scores of the five judges to get the total score for this dish.

After getting the scores, the staff immediately announced: "Congratulations to Chef No. 3 for his mapo tofu. The five scores are 75 points, 75 points, 76 points, 77 points, 77 points, and the final score is 75 points."

After the score was announced, Master No. 3 had no objection to the score, and then left the competition venue.

The scores of each dish are announced, and if the chefs have any questions, they can ask them, and the judges will give corresponding answers to the scores given.

Come straight down without question.

76 points is definitely not a high score.

This is the chef of one of the restaurants, and no accident won't get the ranking in the end.

After all, the scores of many masters can reach more than 80 points, not to mention that there are 12 masters who participated in the competition after being selected, and their strength will be stronger.

Sure enough, the second dish was served after 2 minutes, and it was also mapo tofu. The final score of the judges was 82 points.

The score suddenly widened the gap by 6 points.

Before coming, Wang Gang had predicted that if he wanted to get the ranking, the minimum score for each dish was 81 points, otherwise the chances would be very slim.

Of course Lin Beiyang has confidence in himself.

Soon the first round of the competition ended, and the highest score was the twice-cooked pork from Master No. 9, with a score of 83 points.

The lowest score was Kung Pao Chicken from Chef No. 1. I don’t know if there was a mistake, but the final score was only 60 points, a barely passing score.

At this time, Zhang Shengwei said with a smile: "It seems that there is a mistake. As for the 60 points, it is because the competition stipulates that the minimum score is 60 points, otherwise the score is too low and it will not look good."

"I see."

Lin Beiyang nodded slightly.

It seems that this is the reason.

After all, we are all in the same circle, and we don't see each other when we look down.

It's normal to make mistakes, and it's not impossible for a mistake to occur, so there is a minimum passing score.

At 10:11, masters No. 20 to No. [-] began to prepare for the competition.

In the first 10 minutes, the raw materials were prepared according to the first dish submitted by the chefs.

At 10:40, with the order of the staff, the cooking officially started.

This time there are new classics.

According to the regulations of the competition, the ten classic dishes given are home-cooked dishes that are very common in daily life.

They are fish-flavored shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken, boiled fish, boiled beef, mapo tofu, Maoxuewang, Dengying beef, ants climbing trees, tiger skin green peppers and saliva chicken.

There are no famous dishes such as husband and wife lung slices, boiled cabbage, and Dongpo elbow that everyone is more familiar with.

Because the cooking time is actually only 50 minutes, some dishes are not ready at all.

For example, the "boiled water" in boiled cabbage takes several hours to make.

This is a competition, it is impossible to give such a long time, and it is impossible for the masters of the competition to complete this link in advance.

It must be produced on site to be considered an official competition.

Considering these reasons, the final choice is ten dishes that can be completed within 50 minutes.

So that the chefs will not cause the dishes to be unfinished due to time, or the taste will be greatly affected.

Lin Beiyang's first dish is fish-flavored shredded pork. Among the ten dishes, the second dish needs to be drawn by lottery. I don't know for now. After the first round is over, the lottery will be drawn.

By the way, use the mission props.
