Dessert War [Ancient and Modern]

Powder gas.Although this person has been just standing there lazily, holding a ball of ice cream and eating like himself, his posture is as leisurely and elegant as a world supermodel walking out of a TV commercial.With Gu Pan's brilliant eyes, just a slight smile, and then a bright light flowed along with it.

"Chinese?" This mandarin with a southern accent made Shen Lie smile slightly.

The young man laughed loudly and said, "Well, not only are Chinese people, but I also frequent Black Swan! You must be the boss of Black Swan—I heard your conversation accidentally just now, so I have to mention, you The desserts in the store are really good, I can never get tired of eating them.”

Unexpectedly, in the United States, thousands of miles away, he could also meet a loyal customer of Black Swan. Shen Lie took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over: "Thanks for your kindness, if you want to order a cake for a celebration at Black Swan in the future, please call me Call and I can give you some discounts."

The young man put the business card in his jeans pocket, glanced at Tangyu again, and asked with a smile, "Boss Shen is bringing her boyfriend to Las Vegas for a trip?"

"Come here to participate in the competition." Shen Lie smiled and looked back at Tangyu. The pair of one-carat couple diamond earrings on their ears were really shiny and eye-catching. No wonder even strangers could spot them at a glance. Relationship.

"What a coincidence, I'm also here to compete!"

"Huh? You are also a dessert chef?" Tangyu thought he was also here to participate in the dessert master competition, but she felt a little strange in her heart. She didn't hear that there are other dessert chefs in China who have entered the finals of this year.

"Dessert chef? I would like to, but unfortunately I can only eat, not cook. I'm here to participate in the World Series of Poker, which is what you said, and the gambling money is coming." The young man shook his head with shame on his face, then The pair of bright eyes looked at Tangyu with a smile all the time.Just now he couldn't find any change to buy ice cream, but Tang Yu, who had never met before, paid for him without saying a word, so he had been paying attention to this beautiful and enviable lover just now.

"Where is your dessert chef competition? If I'm free, I must go and cheer for you."

"Coincidentally, it's at the same place as your match, the Riding Boot Hotel." Although Shen Lie didn't gamble, he still knew something about the World Poker Tournament with the highest prize money in the world.

"It's such a coincidence!" The young man raised his eyebrows with a smile, and was about to chat with these two new friends when the phone in his pocket rang.

"Hey, I have to go, I'll go back and watch your game. Also, thank you for treating me to ice cream just now!" Before leaving, the young man flicked a round object and sent it steadily to the In Tangyu's hand, he smiled and waved away.

"Huh?" Tang Yu picked up the round thing and took a look, but it was a casino chip.

Tsk, it's actually a chip with a face value of one hundred dollars!Shen Lie glanced at it, smiled and said to Tang Yu: "Sure enough, your kindness will be rewarded. Treat someone to eat ice cream for 50 cents, and they actually give you a chip of [-] dollars in return."

This man is really generous!Tang Yu looked at the chips in her hand and stuck out her tongue.However, I just treated him to an ice cream, how could I accept such a heavy gift from him, if I knew this round thing was worth a hundred dollars, I would not have accepted it just now.He was about to raise his head to find someone to return the gift, but there was no sign of the young man just now.

"Xiaoyu, do you know how much it costs to participate in the World Series of Poker he mentioned just now?" Tangyu shook her head of course, and Shen Lie smiled and said, "If I'm not wrong, he's participating in no-limit hold'em. The poker main event, the buy-in fee is $[-]."

"Ten thousand! Or is it US dollars?!" Calculating the exchange rate between US dollars and RMB in my heart, it must not be 7 RMB!Tangyu really couldn't figure out what kind of mentality it was to spend so much money to participate in the competition.

"Although the threshold is expensive, the prize money is even higher. The champion can probably get a prize money of around 1000 million U.S. dollars." Shen Lie gave a brief introduction to the World Series of Poker to a child who had never seen the world before.

ah?Tangyu foolishly held up the unfinished ice cream, speechless. Ten million...dollars...he couldn't count how many zeros there were in the end.

"Shen Lie, will there be prize money for our dessert master's final?" The child who was stunned by the huge number just now and only woke up after a while asked anxiously.

"Yes!" Tang Yu's star-eyed look is really cute, Shen Lie smiled and rubbed his little face that was flushed by the sun, and then drew a number with his fingers in front of him: "20 US dollars. Although Not much, but the money I won back then was my first pot of gold."

"20 is not bad, but our Grandpa Mao would have more than 100 million!" Tang Yu's eyes lit up, but then he sighed softly and said, "Oh, it's just that my sense of taste is still weak." I haven't fully recovered yet. Actually, even if my sense of taste is good, it's hard to say whether I can win this competition. After all, the other nineteen are all top pastry chefs! Not to mention I'm not in my best form right now... "

"What are you worrying about, just do your best!" Shen Lie put his arms around his shoulders and gave him an encouraging smile: "Let's go, let's go back to the hotel and help you study the previous competition system!"

Tang Yu curled her lips, expressing her disdain: "Last night you also said to study some combat plan, but you tossed me in bed all night."

"Who told you to come out of the shower yesterday without even wearing a pair of pants, and get into my bed naked?" Shen Lie lowered his head, bit his ear, and laughed ambiguously.

"You packed all the clothes and luggage. I didn't find them for a while!" Tangyu flinched timidly, and glanced at him shyly, "Tonight we have to really study the game, If you continue to be unruly, I will drive you to sleep on the sofa in the living room."

"Follow the order!" Shen Lie hugged Tang Yu affectionately and returned to the Riding Boots Hotel.

The battle is imminent, tonight, it is indeed time to make a good plan for the business of the game

68. The cheating group stage

This year's competition system is different from the previous ones. Although the same points system as before has been used, players who fall behind in each round of points and face elimination will undergo another round of stress tests. The loser is eliminated, and the winner can return to the competition.This also takes into account the needs of TV broadcasting, making the game more intense, exciting and more watchable.Of course, in this way, there will be more variables in the game, and the results of each round will be more exciting.

Just like the padding match and warm-up match before the opening of the boxing match, the wild card match was also held before the main match of the Dessert Master Finals.The wild card match is actually as exciting as the main match, because the 22 wild card players have to compete for three rounds within three days, and they can only compete for two places in the main match, so the competition is also very intense .

The judges for the wild card competition were exactly the same as the candidates for the main competition, so Shen Lie sat on the judges' seat, while Tang Yu was on the sidelines.Among the wild card contestants, Alan from France was the only player Tang Yu knew.They met in the Netherlands race. In Amsterdam last November, Tangyu won the championship with a slight advantage of 0.5 points, while Alan, who is also very strong, could only regrettably come in second.

But the relationship between Tangyu and Alan got along well during that week in Amsterdam. Although Tangyu didn't know French and Alan didn't know Chinese, the two became friends by communicating in broken English.Especially in the event of the Dragon Dream Tea Party in Paris, France, the two had collaborated before, so their relationship became closer.

Tangyu came to the wild card game this time mainly to cheer for Allen.To his great relief, Allen was in very good form. He defeated another [-] wild card players in three consecutive rounds, and entered the main match with another American player.

"Ailun, congratulations for entering the main game! This time, we will compete in the same field again." After the wild card game, Tangyu found Ailun immediately and sincerely congratulated him.

Allen hugged Tangyu for a face-to-face ceremony, and then asked with concern: "Sweetheart, I heard that there is something wrong with your sense of taste?"

Although it can be regarded as staying in Europe for more than a month, Tangyu still can't get used to the warm kissing ceremony of the French.Of course, Alan's mouth didn't really touch his cheek, but this excessive intimacy between ordinary friends still made him a little embarrassed, especially at this time when Shen Lie was still laughing at himself.

"Alan, how did you know about this?" Aside from the embarrassment, Tangyu couldn't help being a little surprised, she had never told anyone about her illness.

"There is no secret in the food circle, especially after you made a big splash in France last time, several well-known
