The aroma of the dishes had already filled the entire venue, the judges shook off their cheeks and began to chew, and half of the plate of Panlong, which was not small in size, went away in an instant.The audience in the stands wanted to swear, the judges just ate and didn’t talk about business, and the food didn’t have the audience’s share, so they could only swallow their mouths hungry, and they came to the game after eating , but now the stomach is more hungry than one.

"Fuck, the organizing committee is too useless. We shouldn't have come to this kind of event in the first place. It's just asking for trouble." Gao Yuan swallowed a few mouthfuls and complained to the cloaked woman, "What does Shao Yan eat so long?" Big ones? Anything you can make will be so delicious. If my mother has her ability, we will be worth three hundred catties now."

The cloaked woman said: "I haven't seen him make this dish. I went to Yumenxi's old store in City A last week. Shao Yan is now in City A. The menu there should be updated the fastest. .”

"I haven't seen one in S City." Gao Yuan looked at her, was silent for a moment, and said quietly after a while, "He was in a daze when the game started just now, could it be..."

"Thinking about this dish?" The cloaked woman took the topic tacitly.

Not human!

The two shouted together in their hearts.

This dish obviously made the judges very happy. Most of the dragon tail was dug out by the spoon in two or three times, and some even arrogantly scooped the whole dragon head into their own plates. The texture and umami taste of the juicy soft skin and puffer fish meat is irresistible.There are few authentic Chinese dishes that can impress the taste buds of Westerners like this. Except for the famous dishes such as Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, and Sweet and Sour Pork, those made with thick oil and red sauce are not acceptable to most Westerners. There are only a few left, and Shao Yan's achievements undoubtedly opened the door to their new world again.

Still chewing on the tender and juicy fugu meat, the judges looked at each other and hesitated for a while.

Shao Yan's dish is too showy, it only takes a short moment to conquer people's taste buds.But the original psychology of the judges was to choose the best performer from Leon and Alisaac. Shao Yan, the dark horse that broke out midway, undoubtedly disrupted many people's plans.

The judges have their own little things, but driven by the four words of fairness and justice in the competition, they dare not open their eyes and talk nonsense and point out that a deer is a horse.What's more, the intricacies of all parties on this small judging stage are comparable to the roots in a bamboo forest. The more evenly matched the crowd is, the more no one dares to be the top bird.

"Blood duck is very good, lobster is very good, and Shao Yan's dish is even better." A judge said to the camera with a bitter face, "Sure enough, they are three-star chefs. The strength of the three is so well-deserved that I can't help but feel that it's a dish that I don't know." I don't know which one to choose."

The chefs in the arena were very nervous because of their hesitation. Shao Yan went to Lyon to taste his blood duck. It was completely exotic, but it was really delicious.

The truffle lobster made by Alisaac is even more tender than the grilled crucian carp with scallions, which made his eyes light up when he tasted it.The craftsmanship of the other contestants in the arena is also very good. Even Yuo Sakurai, the meticulously grilled matsutake pine meat is not comparable to the high-end R-country restaurants that Shao's father took him to eat in the past. of.The unique sweetness of matsutake fungus permeates into the already extraordinary beef. The beef is tender and elastic, and the mouth is full of the aroma of gravy.Before cooking, Shao Yan had seen the raw materials of Sakurai Yu, and the piece of pine meat was just a little big, and it might be a certain part of the best cow, and the texture of the fat distribution was absolutely perfect.Shao Yan had never been exposed to this kind of ingredient in his previous life. He didn't have many opportunities to eat beef in the past. It was only in modern times that he realized that various countries would spend so much time and effort in cultivating a kind of ingredient.

When he saw him eating his own food, Sakurai Yuu's eyes almost fell off, and the expression on his face was hard to tell whether it was surprise or horror. It was subtle, but at any rate he nodded towards Shao Yan normally.

The judges at the judging table have already started arguing.

"Although Shao Yan's dish is delicious in color and fragrance, but the taste is too strong, it will overwhelm all the dishes at the same table. Don't people in country C always say that a hundred flowers bloom?" A person from country F is more inclined The judges who let Lyon win frowned solemnly and began to pick faults.

The female judge sitting next to him raised her slender eyebrows and said: "If you choose according to this standard, I think Alisaac's lobster is better. The lobster is sweet and tender, and can be matched with any dish. The taste of truffle Leaving it in your mouth makes even an after-dinner salad feel better."

The two of them refused to budge, and the judge in the middle shoveled off a piece of meat from the belly of the dragon, which happened to hit the center where the tofu and fish juice were stored, and the thick fish juice that was sent to the mouth from the dining plate continued to flow. flow down.The firm and glutinous skin made him sigh a long time, and then he spoke on behalf of the judges who changed their positions on the other side: "Since it is a signature dish, the personal style must be more obvious, and stealing the limelight is not considered too much. What's the shortcoming. As for other dishes, the composition of C country's dishes is not the same as ours, so this doesn't need to be taken into consideration. This dish is the most delicate and atmospheric among all dishes, with a unique cooking method and unique The composition of the ingredients is not inferior to the blood duck, and the taste is impeccable. It is rare that the chef is still very young. Both Lyon and Alisaac have won too many honors in the food industry. We should try to give Opportunities for young people."

The two judges who were in a stalemate looked over after hearing the words, and found that almost everyone except them had defected.With no hope of getting what they wanted, they could only roll their eyes in their hearts, and seized the opportunity to scoop up some of the few dragon bodies left on the plate before the leftovers were taken away.

Even if he doesn't win the championship, Shao Yan has no regrets.A competition allowed him to intuitively see the different ways of processing food in various countries. Now his head is full of inspiration, all of which are filled with different unconstrained dishes, and he just wishes he could go back to the kitchen immediately to practice.Lyon and the others were relatively relaxed. They could chat and laugh happily with the translator standing in their own position, but the actions of adjusting the collar and the brim of the hat all the time showed that he was bluffing a bit.

The judges are not allowed to communicate too much. After taking away the works on the table, they will vote for the winners according to their individual votes. The final votes will be counted back to the organizing committee in real time, and then broadcast instantly in a completely transparent manner. Back to the arena.

The narrator stared at the big screen where the data was being converted, and asked the host standing in a row with him: "Who do you think will win this year? I think it's Lyon."

"Lyon?" The host was surprised by his determination, "When Shao Yan's work was withdrawn just now, it was almost eaten up."

The commentator's expression was a bit pessimistic: "His strength is astonishing. To be honest, he was a dark horse in this competition, which was completely beyond my expectations. But there is not a single judge from country C on the judging panel, and compared to Leon, his qualifications..."

"It's started." The more the host listened, the more unhappy he became. Seeing the words counting the votes appearing on the big screen, he interrupted him loudly.

The narrator shrugged, his face full of helplessness.Perhaps because he has seen too many unfair things, he can no longer simply believe in the saying that as long as he has strength, he can win as he just entered the industry.

But when he turned his head to face the camera, he was still smiling.

"Welcome back!" The commentator seemed to be so excited all the time, "This is a war of star chefs! The data of the organizing committee have been counted and sent back to the statistics center!"

The host seemed to be used to his face changing in a second, and continued without changing his expression: "To show fairness, before the results are revealed on the spot, all judges are requested to announce their final results first."

The atmosphere at the scene seemed to have froze all of a sudden, and the original whispers on the surrounding audience platforms disappeared in an instant.Although the first- and second-star chefs in the arena knew that they would definitely have no chance of winning the championship this time, they still had daydreams about the possible upset.The judges stood up solemnly and announced their answers one by one in order.

The first vote at the beginning was voted for Shao Yan, which completely exceeded many people's expectations. The smile on the commentator's face froze for a moment, and then returned to normal as if nothing had happened. Country C's culture has not been excluded once or twice. Even the audience of country C's nationality has no hope that Shao Yan will become the final winner.

But the next second, third, and fourth... Except for a few judges who firmly stand in the camps of countries F and D, almost all the other judges awarded honors within their authority to Shao Yan .

When the statistical results on the screen were released, there was a silence in the arena.Among the nine judges, Alisaac had one vote, Leon had three votes, and the remaining five votes were all for Shao Yan!

Shao Yan actually won!

Among a group of Gumei chefs who are frequently starred, he even defeated two long-renowned three-star chefs and won the final crown!Based on the treatment that the chefs of country C received in various competitions, this is almost an impossible result, but the reality is... Shao Yan really won! ! !

After a brief astonishment, the audience in country C cheered ecstatically, and the applause that could overturn the roof instantly resounded from every corner of the arena.These mostly self-identified viewers rarely have such moments of gaffes, but what does this result represent?On behalf of history, for the first time, C national cuisine can stand on the stage of the global food competition with the honor that should belong to it!

Shao Yan is simply a miracle! ! !

"Shao Yan! Shao Yan! Shao Yan!!!"

"Country C! Country C! Country C!!!"

Shao Yan stood at the very center of the sound wave, and when he heard the audience shouting his name loudly, his heart felt strangely hot, and his hands and feet began to tremble.

This exciting news was quickly relayed by various media in the arena. The online media with the fastest news were the first to reveal that the competition had exploded, which was no less than an unpopular result. After that, many people thought it was fake news.

Because of the previous incident of "guests from country C being discriminated against", this year's competition has attracted unprecedented attention among the people.Before the guest contest started, there were all kinds of untrue news on the Internet. To be honest, many people didn't have much confidence in Shao Yan.After all, he is still so young, and his seniority is pitifully low among the star chefs called "national treasures" sent by various countries. He has offended the organizing committee because of discrimination incidents before, plus the other two three-star chefs who came to participate in the competition this time Really famous.Most people felt that being able to stand and fight against them in the same arena was already a kind of respect and affirmation for Shao Yan.

Various voices of encouragement or sarcasm can be heard everywhere. Within 10 minutes of the start of the game, some people began to spread all kinds of false news out of fear of chaos. Country F won the championship, country D won the championship, and after country R won the championship, Shao Yan won the championship again up? !

People are all eyes full of "hehe" before seeing the media that released the news, but after seeing the authoritative platform that released the news, they all turn into "shit".

Shao Yan!real!I won the championship! ! ! !

Ten minutes after the news was announced, all kinds of discussions with the key word Shao Yan suddenly exploded!

In the arena, Shao Yan, who had no concept of winning the championship, calmly accepted the trophy awarded to him by the representatives of the jury. Style" praise.The guests in the arena were even more surprised than the audience.Lyon, who thought he could win the championship, was a little disappointed, but because he had eaten the sliced ​​meat that Shao Yan could fry for him just now, he was not dissatisfied with the result. Shao Yan even stepped forward to give him a hug after stepping down.

But the attitudes of the other chefs in the arena except him and Alisaac became more subtle. Some of the chefs who got along well with Shao Yan had weird smiles when they congratulated them.

Shao Yan was no stranger to their sudden change of attitude.When he was a servant in the palace, he got along well with other people of the same age, but this situation changed drastically after the boss accepted him as an apprentice.Although the friends who bullied him because of jealousy and indifference began to look back and try to restore the old relationship with him after becoming more familiar with the world, how could Shao Yan take a second look at the playmates who might have made that choice after their identities were different.

In an instant, he strengthened his guard against certain people. Shao Yan had finished greeting everyone without knowing it, and was informed by the host that he would go to the organizing committee to collect the activities of the opening ceremony after the meeting was over.

After the competition ended, a group of defeated chefs pushed him aside to talk, seemingly inadvertently.Shao Yan felt a little funny when he felt the eyes cast on him from the crowd, but Leon and Alisaac approached at this moment.

Leon comforted him and said, "You don't have to pay attention to them. When I won the first food competition when I was young, all the contestants around me treated me like this. You are a genius. Over time, you will definitely make them regret it." I embarrass you today because of jealousy and being emotional."

"I'm not embarrassed." Shao Yan was very honest.

Lyon obviously thought he was being stubborn, so he smiled and didn't continue to answer. Suddenly, he changed the subject and pointed to the half pot of venison paste on the side: "These, can you fry them for me to eat?"

-

In the end, the half pot of pureed meat went into the stomachs of Alisaac and Leon.

When Shao Yan went to the organizing committee to report, he happened to meet the management of the reception team who picked him up at the airport in City B last time.The other party was in charge of leading him this time, and he was so polite that he wished he could kneel down, and trotted away to push the door for Shao Yan after a long distance.Shao Yan didn't recognize him at first, but the other party's attitude of "we are old acquaintances so fate" finally reminded him, and he gave him a smile before parting, this person seemed to be encouraged by the sky Standing in place with an excited face, he desperately bid farewell.

The ceremony that Shao Yan was about to perform was nothing out of the ordinary.On the day of the food competition, I received the torch from the chairman of the organizing committee, hung the steel wire and floated to a platform as beautiful as possible to light the flame. in the altar.The seeds of the torch will be carefully preserved from the opening of the current competition to the next competition to avoid extinguishing, implying that the food competition will last forever.

This kind of difficult action performance is like playing for Shao Yan.And the ceremony is not all as solemn as shown in the picture, at least for the archery part, Shao Yan only needs to make sure to shoot the arrow, and someone else will naturally be responsible for the flames ignited on the tinder altar.

"The bow and arrow must be pulled apart, the stronger the better." The person in charge handed him a practice bow and arrow, and asked, "This is a [-]-kilogram practice bow. It is difficult to pull it up, but you have to first familiar……"

Shao Yan drew the full bow with both hands, and flicked the slingshot as if playing, and hummed: "It's like flicking cotton."

"..." The person in charge watched him easily shoot the arrow to a target not far away. After a moment of silence, his voice was a little dry, "...It's good to be able to perform according to this standard on the day of the opening ceremony. Let's show off Ya."

Seeing Shao Yan touching the Wia props with a strange face, he felt a little more confident in his heart, explained and comforted him professionally: "This prop will be a little tight and painful when it is stretched on the body for a long time. It will be light-heavy, but it is absolutely safe, you just need to keep your balance. At that time, you will fly at a higher altitude, so you have to pay attention not to look at your feet, relax a little when you do the movements, and just imagine that you are flying."

Shao Yan asked him while wearing it: "Those actors in movies and TV use this instead of light work? The steel wire at the back will not be seen?"

Is it a layman?

The professional self-confidence that the action director lost on the bow and arrow immediately became solid again: "The venue is so big, at that time at night, who will see it? There will be repairs in the post-shooting, and the steel wire will be repaired. How does it feel? ? Don’t be afraid when the machine lifts you up for a while, it will be a bit uncomfortable at first, but wait until..."

Shao Yan tied up Wia and jumped up quickly under the action of the machine, and disappeared from his eyes all of a sudden, then he dexterously jumped onto a long pole beside him, and touched the protective cover on his shoulder happily : "It really is a good thing!"

"..." The corner of the action director's mouth twitched, and 15 minutes after meeting Shao Yan, he took him back to the lounge and handed him over to the person who brought him to practice. He met the other party's unclear eyes, and after a moment of silence, he pulled the other party into the room. On one side, "Bring him back again! You're fucking kidding me!"

On the way out, the manager who led the way always wanted to use this matter to talk to Shao Yan, but Shao Yan's phone calls came in one after another.

Those from the Provincial Association and Yumenxi, Shao's father and Shao's mother, Li Yuke and his wife, S City Yumenxi, the media who have given their contact information, students from University A...

Shao Yan listened to the excited voice on the other end of the phone who was constantly changing but never changed, and gradually had some different feelings in his heart, which had no feeling about winning the championship.

As he got closer to the gate, he could vaguely hear people's voices that were much noisier than before.

Near noon in the afternoon, the sun is shining brightly and the light is most intense.Stepping out of the softly lit room, Shao Yan narrowed his eyes and covered his eyes with his hands, feeling dizzy for a moment.

The surrounding screams startled him, and if the high-pitched voice had any substance, it almost pushed him back into the room again.

After Shao Yan saw the scene around him clearly after a short period of blindness, he was stunned for a moment.

The security guards at the office of the organizing committee had great difficulty blocking a vacuum area of ​​less than two meters with him as the center. Behind them were people from three floors inside and three floors outside.The emotions of these people were quite agitated, most of them were women, and they all looked at him with piercing eyes. After seeing Shao Yan put down his hands and stared back at him, the screams intensified a little.

"Shao Yan!!!"

"Shao Yan!!!!!!"

"Ah!!! The real person is so handsome!!!"

"Look this way! Look this way!"

"..." Shao Yan stared at the group of excited people who kept shouting his name, a little confused, "Who are these people?"

The manager next to him froze for a moment before replying, "They are all your fans!"

"Nonsense!" Shao Yan felt fooled, "I'm not a celebrity, how could I have fans."

Who knows about this problem?It is unreasonable for a cook to have so many fans. The management who was attacked by Shao Yan fans on the Internet because of neglecting Shao Yan was also very puzzled, but this group of crazy fans at the scene is no worse than groupies. .

The manager was silent for a moment, took a step back, looked Shao Yan up and down, and judged hesitantly: "Probably... look at... the face?"

-

Shao Yan, who had enjoyed the treatment of an idol star fleeing in a hurry, squeezed out of the crowd alive, looking at the precarious crowd outside the car window with lingering fear.When they returned home, Ah Tong, who had a fierce temperament, also smiled beamingly, apparently having got the news.Shao Yan thought about it all the way back to the room and always felt empty in his heart. After he put his hands on the door, he realized that Yan Daichuan didn't call him.

After answering so many congratulatory calls, even the students in University A have moved, but Yan Daichuan, who has always been the most caring and attentive to him, has not moved.

problem occurs?

Shao Yan was the first to think like this, because he was distracted and didn't pay attention to the movement around him. The moment he entered the room, the wind behind him moved slightly, and Shao Yan's eyes were covered by a pair of slightly rough hands.

Shao Yan subconsciously turned backwards with his elbows, and the raider was on guard, shrank his head back, dodged most of the attacks, and then let out a muffled grunt.Shao Yan's hand was already wrapped around his arm like a snake, and he was about to throw him to the ground with a little skill, but the murderous intention that had just been brewing immediately dissipated after hearing this muffled grunt.

"What's wrong!" He broke off Yan Daichuan's hand, turned around and kicked him, "Next time I say hello, I'll play tricks like this and beat you to death."

Yan Daichuan, who rarely thought of being romantic once, looked at him speechlessly while clutching his sore stomach, and couldn't figure out why there are people in this world who are more ignorant than himself.He hissed a few times before he said, "Congratulations."

Shao Yan kicked him, and felt that he had hit him hard again.Yan Daichuan looked strong, but he couldn't help being beaten. The last time he pinched his arm, it took a month to get rid of the bruise.Thinking that the other party had been hiding in the room for so long probably to surprise him, Shao Yan felt a little apologetic in his heart, not knowing how to speak, Yan Daichuan was the first to give in, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

His expression returned to normal, and he pulled Yan Daichuan to sit down beside the bed, with a smile in his eyes: "The movements are much lighter when hiding, have you practiced?"

"The group of bodyguards assigned to you used to be mercenaries, and they learned two tricks from the leader." Yan Daichuan lifted up the hem of his clothes and looked at his rapidly red belly, his eyes twitched, "Where did you learn this kung fu?" What? I asked your parents, but they don't even know."

Shao Yan was often injured while practicing martial arts, and there was always white medicine in the cabinet. Hearing this, he slapped Yan Daichuan's hand away, brushed and sprayed it on the wound, and replied, "There are many things they don't know."

Yan Daichuan was so cold that he almost lost his serious expression. Shao Yan followed him with his hand to cover his stomach, and pushed his shoulder with the other hand: "Lie down, I'll rub it for you."

Because of his practice, Shao Yan's body temperature remained evenly higher than normal throughout the year. When his slightly scalded palm touched the skin that had just been sprayed with medicine, Yan Daichuan trembled.

Shao Yan stared at his stomach, but didn't notice any abnormalities in him, and said: "I'm sick, and I'm willing to beat you up if I have nothing to do. I forget the pain when the scar is healed. How long did it take for my arm to heal last time?" ?”

Yan Daichuan grabbed the hem of his clothes to expose his belly and was pressed on the bed by him. After a brief trance, he couldn't look away from Shao Yan.

From the eyebrows to the mouth, even the thin white hairs on the other person's face are extremely cute to him.The voice heard on the phone was somewhat different from his own, Shao Yan only talked so much when he was bluffing, and Yan Daichuan was fascinated by the slightly hoarse voice of the young man.Shao Yan pressed the ground very hard, and the potion was heated by him immediately, and his stomach began to feel slightly hot.Shao Yan's hand skeleton is very slender because he didn't work much since he was a child. I don't know when the calluses appeared on the palm and fingertips. He obviously didn't notice it last time...

Yan Daichuan's eyes were all on him, and he was holding onto the hem of his clothes ready to move, only feeling that his whole body was getting hot from the other's movements on his stomach.

Tall people do look better with muscles than short people...

Shao Yan stared at the well-defined muscles tightly wrapped by the wheat-colored skin under his palms, because of the potion, this part glowed with oil and looked more wild and robust.Envious in his heart, he couldn't help touching a few more.

Yan Daichuan immediately raised his hand to press his hand as if he had been bitten, and Shao Yan raised his head, only to be surprised to find that the other party was flushed from neck to face.

Shao Yan seemed to have discovered a new world, stared at him for a while, and then pulled out his hand and pinched the opponent's waist: "Shy? Are you still shy!?"

Yan Daichuan took a deep breath, and didn't know whether he was playing the game or he was playing the game.
