Dare to cook

Chapter 68

After the team competition, the schedule of the Shencheng Famous Contest entered the final stage of the individual duel.

One hundred contestants will face off in pairs to determine the top 25.

Then the organizer will select the top [-] players based on the points gained in the two final matches to form the top [-] knockout rounds.

For ordinary contestants, if they cannot make it to the top three, it makes no difference whether they finish in the top [-] or stop in the top [-].

Anyway, there are fifty tickets to the National League in the Shencheng Division.

As long as they can enter the top fifty, they can all go to the national competition.

Of course, the premise is to enter the top fifty.

But some players are not so lucky.

For example, Xie Zhixuan...

This person has always had the strength to be on the Jade Food List.

If he can enter the National League this time, maybe he can go further.

However, he met Yao Yu in the first round of the individual duel final.

So poor Xie Zhixuan was mercilessly knocked down by Yao Yu and stopped in the top [-].

"It's so miserable. Obviously, as long as we win one more game, we can get tickets to the national competition. How can we be so unlucky to meet Yao Yu, the devil king?"

At the individual duel final scene, Mao Yuan sat in the auditorium and sighed.

Sitting with him was Xu Lin.

Although the culinary art team has been disbanded now, everyone is teammates who have fought together. When they meet each other in the competition center, they will naturally get together.

The rules for individual duels are also very simple.

After the competition starts, the host will have a computer randomly select three dishes for the contestants to cook.

Within one and a half hours, whoever cooks a dish with a higher score will win directly.

The match between Yao Yu and Xie Zhixuan was arranged in the competition field in Area A of the competition center.

When the two stood in front of the stove and took their positions, the electronic screen on the field began to scroll, and then three dishes of Wenzheng bamboo shoots, tiger skin tofu, and angelica roe meat were drawn out.

These three dishes are common representative dishes in Anhui cuisine.

Yao Yu doesn't know much about Anhui cuisine, but he knows the methods and key points of these three dishes very well.

In comparison, Xie Zhixuan is relatively unfamiliar with the method of edamame.

In the end, after an hour and a half of timed duel, Yao Yu won the game by a full 4 points ahead of Xie Zhixuan.

When the judges announced the results, Xie Zhixuan looked a little frustrated.

Like a pricked doll...

After Yao Yu defeated Xie Zhixuan, he saw that he looked bad, so he walked up and patted this dear man on the shoulder:

"Brother, victory or defeat is a common occurrence in the kitchen world, please be patient..."

Xie Zhixuan's face was dark: "Why do I feel that you are taunting me?"

"How can there be?" Yao Yu looked innocent, "You are not Bai Yuanchu and Zhu Xingchen, why should I ridicule you?"

After hearing this, Xie Zhixuan almost vomited blood.

Do I not even have the right to be ridiculed by you?

Xie Zhixuan was indignant, but there was nothing he could do.

The two walked out of the arena and handed over the ring to the next group of duel players.

Xie Zhixuan lost the game and didn't have any intention of watching the match.

Yao Yu went to the auditorium and sat with Mao Yuan and the others.

"It's Chu Xinmei's turn to play in the next match, right? Who is his opponent?"

After Yao Yu sat down, he asked Mao Yuan.

Mao Yuan said:

"Chu Xinmei's opponent is Fang Nuo, a member of the runner-up team."

"However, I didn't seem to see Chu Xinmei after I came here this morning. I don't know if he's here yet?"

Lin Xu said:
"It should be here. Chu Xinmei won't even lose track of his own game time."

Having said that, when it was Chu Xinmei and Fang Nuo's turn to play, the guy who was more beautiful than his sister had never been seen.

Yao Yu saw that the referee was waiting impatiently, so he quickly dialed Chu Xinmei's voice via WeChat.

The call rang a few times, then was connected.

Chu Xinmei said in a cold voice, "Yao Yu, what's the matter with you?"

Yao Yu suddenly had a black line in his head.

"Where are you? Now it's your turn to play, and you still have the time to ask me what's going on?"

Chu Xinmei's voice froze, and then said:
"I was in the hospital with my mother, and I couldn't leave. In this game, you help tell the referee that I forfeited."

After finishing speaking, Chu Xinmei hung up the call.

Yao Yu was stunned.

Can't figure out why this is happening all of a sudden.

Chu Xinmei, that guy who has the strength to wrestle with the top ten of the Jade Food Rankings, just gave up the game so easily?
He sighed, and relayed Chu Xinmei's words to the judges and judges.

In fact, there is no need for Yao Yu to repeat it, as long as the player does not enter the arena for more than 5 minutes after the start of the game, it will be regarded as an automatic abandonment.

When Mao Yuan and Xu Lin heard that Chu Xinmei could not come because of family illness, they couldn't help sighing:

"How could it be such an unfortunate coincidence. Even if Chu Xinmei wins another match, it would be great."

"He is so strong, but it is a pity that he missed the national league."

Xu Lin asked Yao Yu: "Do you know which hospital he is in now?"

Yao Yu shook his head and said, "I asked, but he didn't reply. Maybe you can ask him again."

Lin Xu said:
"Forget it, he won't even give you face as a fanatic Yu, let alone talk to us."

"That person, I don't even know why he is so cold and arrogant."

Mao Yuan laughed and said:

"So much resentment, Xu Lin, you don't think you like Chu Xinmei, but you have run into trouble with him, right?"

Xu Lin gave him a blank look:
"So what? I just like Chu Xinmei, can you control me?"

Yao Yu watched the two bicker and quarrel, but did not strike up a conversation.

Because of Chu Xinmei's absence from the match, Yao Yu became less interested in the rest of the match.

He watched a few more games in the auditorium, and after seeing that the two animals, Yang Rui and Mu Shaoran, also advanced easily, he left the center of the arena.

……

Coming out of the center of the arena, Yao Yu joined Yang Rui, and the two rushed back to the Renhe Hall together.

During this period of time, the business of Renhe Pavilion was extremely busy, so busy that the back kitchen couldn't do without Yao Yu every day.

Because of Yao Yu's outstanding performance in the Famous Selection Competition, more and more people came here to taste Yao Yu's food in the Renhe Pavilion.

Especially after the video of Yao Yu defeating Hong Shipu spread, many diners strongly requested to eat the mapo tofu that would whet the appetite of the chefs on the Qilin list.

It's a pity that Renhe Restaurant, a local restaurant, was almost forced by diners to transform into a Sichuan restaurant because of Yao Yu.

Regarding this, Tang Ying also couldn't laugh or cry.

But seeing the rising turnover and more and more small money, Tang Ying still acquiesced in this change of situation.

01:30 in the afternoon.

The chefs of Renhe Restaurant, who had been busy with the peak meal time, collapsed in the back kitchen like dead dogs.

Even Yao Yu, who has the best physical strength, is no exception.

After Yao Yu finished the last mapo tofu, Liu Yiran walked in excitedly:

"Brother Yu! It's a record! We sold a total of 3217 copies of Mapo Tofu!"

Hearing the number, Yao Yu replied feebly:

"I got it. Don't mention 'Ma Po Tofu' to me anymore. In the past few days, I almost vomited from making this dish."

Liu Yiran said:
"How can that be done! In order to increase the number of places for dining, Mr. Tang removed half of the boxes on the second floor and replaced them with scattered seats."

"If you don't continue to make mapo tofu, the monthly bonuses of all our restaurant employees will be greatly reduced."

"Brother Yu, for the happiness of all our colleagues, you have to make persistent efforts!"

When Yao Yu heard this, he shivered:
"Do you want to keep working hard? Why don't you hack me to death! I'm quitting. I don't want to make mapo tofu anymore in my life."
