Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

“Welcome everyone to this year’s competition! There are many chefs from previous years participating in this competition, and of course there will be no shortage of new and unexpected dark horses!”

The host stood on the podium, constantly livening up the atmosphere around him.

"..."

"I heard that in the previous sessions, the audience didn't seem to be given the opportunity to taste the food. I wonder why the original competition format was changed in this session?"

Tomoyo Daidoji, who was sitting in the audience, turned to look at Akira Matsumoto and told him some of the information he knew.

Yesterday, Tomoyo Daidoji didn't know the news either, but her family checked it for her and told her about it in the evening.

"Is there such a thing? I don't know about it, but it's normal. After all, I didn't even pay attention to this kind of competition before~"

Suzuki Sonoko scratched her head, but then she no longer cared. After all, she had never paid attention to these competitions before.

Suzuki Sonoko really likes eating this kind of food, but she has no idea how to improve the quality of her eating.

After all, no matter what Suzuki Sonoko likes to eat, it will not affect her own class.

It can even improve the quality of those things. After all, your status as the second lady of the Timber Group is so impressive.

"But for a competition like this that has been held for a long time, there must be some internal reason for suddenly changing the rules, right?"

Busujima Yazi also looked over. The Busujima family was considered a famous family, but after all, it was completely different fields from this aspect.

Although everyone uses a knife, their fields of use are completely different. One is used to chop people, and the other is used to chop vegetables and meat.

In the past interactions, at most the Busujima family had hired some chefs.

After all, Busujima had never thought about changing careers and entering the chef industry, so he didn't know much about these things.

However, I still understand some basic rules, even though this competition seems very international.

But whether it is the local competition rules or large-scale international rules like this, they all have a certain definition.

Once established, changes are rarely made, especially for dishes like this one that originally required only specialized preparation.

After all, there are only a few judges who can taste the food, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it. For other parts, you just need to control the variables.

And if the food needs to be shared with other audiences for tasting, it cannot be decorated like ordinary Western food.

But fortunately, not all the audience can eat, after all, there are not so many seats on the ship.

You have to understand that this is a competition. The audience needs to come to watch the competition. It is impossible for you to hold the competition here and let the audience sit at the dining table and wait on the other side, right?

Then what's the point of my competition?

Only a part of the audience needs to be selected by lottery, and the rest of the audience can let the students prepare the dishes according to the chef's choice.

Although the taste may not be as good as that made by the chef, it can at least be considered top-notch.

It is enough to have a sense of participation, and don't expect more. After all, the dishes made by these masters are typically small in quantity.

Big pot dishes are indeed a test of one's cooking skills, but there are relatively few types of Western food that can be prepared in a big pot. It is impossible to rely on this method to limit the other party's performance, right?

Of course, there are some things in Western cuisine that can be produced in large quantities at one time for people to taste, but the taste of those things is just bland.

Those big pot dishes in the East are more or less OK, and have some flavor elements in them.

After all, even if it is a big pot dish, it can't be that unpalatable. As long as the chef has good cooking skills, the big pot dish can still be good.

Even a change of this magnitude is a huge change for a mature competition, especially one that has been held many times in the past.

Fortunately, these chefs are not lacking in similar experience. After all, a chef’s job is to prepare dishes for others, even if they are chefs serving in the palace or the presidential or prime minister’s office.

After all, it is still a service industry. Isn't it quite normal to make changes according to the requirements of customers or clients?

"I'm not sure about the specific reasons, but it's not a sudden change in the rules. Look, those contestants are still followed by one or two people!"

"The rules for this competition were announced long before the competition began, so they were already prepared!"

Tomoyo Daidoji pointed at the chefs who had already walked onto the competition stage. Each of these chefs was followed by one or two people, who were obviously apprentice assistants or something like that.

Because the rules had been announced long ago, they also recruited their assistants in advance.

Some are simply assistants in the restaurant where they work, and some are their disciples or sons and daughters.

Ensure tacit understanding to avoid various accidents during the competition.

"Ah, so as we said before, we're only going to select a portion of the audience?"

Hinoka Takasaka noticed the information revealed before. It was not as she thought that all the audience could try it. Only a part of the audience was selected.

Wouldn't her original plan fail if that happened? After all, no matter how lucky she was, it would be impossible for her to be drawn every time, right? Wouldn't that mean——

"Even if I'm not selected, the dishes made by the other students are also very delicious, so there's no need to worry about that!"

Matsumoto Akira said this with a smile, and Minami Kotori, who was sitting next to Takasaka Enoka, pinched Takasaka Enoka's arm.

"Xiao Guo is really right! This time I came here to watch the game and wiped out all the weight loss plans I had previously made!"

"And now you're still like this, can't you really be full?"

Minami Kotori was also a little helpless. Before, Hinoka Takasaka said that she had gained some weight, so the two best friends decided to lose some weight in the morning.

The perseverance shown in the initial period was indeed good. At least both Minami Kotori and Sonoda Umi felt that Takasaka Megumi had been there and had persisted for such a long time, which was rare.

As a result, after persisting during that period of time and losing weight, I have no idea how many calorie bombs I have consumed in such a short time on this ship.

The persistence during that period of time before was almost completely wasted. Since eating for a long time yesterday, Takasaka Enoka has not dared to weigh herself until now.

But while I was afraid that my weight might be a little over the limit, I was also thinking about what delicious food I could taste next.

Although I have tasted a lot of delicious food since I came here, I always feel that if I continue like this, I might get fat.

After my best friend gained weight, she only gained weight in the right places, and other parts of her body were not really fat to that extent.

But I have such a small body and I have worked so hard to maintain this figure. If I eat too much

Will I be as lucky as my best friend, with fat where it should be and no growth where it shouldn’t be?

Anyway, Minami Kotori will not try this kind of luck. If you want to maintain a good figure, you need to pay attention to these aspects.

"Speaking of which - I just remembered something! The ingredients these chefs use to make dishes are also quite expensive!"

"Even if the students can't replicate it completely, they certainly can't save on ingredients!"

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly patted his head and said, although he didn't care about the price of the ingredients.

But in fact, there are many food competitions in the world. No, it should be said that many competitions actually lose money.

Suzuki Sonoko felt that the previous competition must have been a loss-making one, otherwise they would not have chosen to change the rules to attract more spectators.

Otherwise, if the audience just watches the game but cannot taste it, then the appeal will be greatly reduced.

In other words, it is clearly stated that audience members will be selected to hide, and other students will also be involved in the replication.

Although it certainly cannot achieve the ideas of those masters, it is also a good option.

That’s why it can attract more audiences, but it’s unlikely that we’ll make much money this time.

After all, in addition to the expenses for food to feed the audience, the rental of the ship itself is not cheap.

Although admission fees are charged, if it were held on land, admission fees would still be charged.

This boat can be considered as an additional expense, and with this expense, there is no hope of making money in this competition.

However, with this name, it should look better when it is held in other places later, and maybe we can even make some money.

After all, the world is different. Matsumoto Akira had never heard of the name of this competition before.

Even though Matsumoto Akira has never heard of it, it doesn't mean that this competition has no popularity.

After all, there are many competitions in this world that you may not even have heard of, but they are actually very well-known in the professional field.

Even some awards that are very well-known internationally may not even be heard of in some countries.

Unless someone in a country has won this award, and this award is indeed very well-known internationally, then some countries will be willing to publicize it.

Reveal the status of the award, and then promote the reputation of the winner.

This award can instantly become well-known, and this is true for international awards like this, not to mention those marginal competitions.

Food competitions like this are actually still considered good. After all, they only require simple changes to attract the audience, which is not a problem at all.

If it were to be an unpopular sport, it would probably close down in no time.
