Bai Jincheng hurried over two days before the final.Originally, only the provincial TV station and the education channel had TV recordings and broadcasts.But because of the previous incident, there was a lot of trouble.When the organizer thought about it, they simply broadcast a live webcast.Moreover, the Science and Education Channel is also preparing to broadcast simultaneously, so that more media will come.

There are no rules for the competition in the finals. Each person has five hours to prepare one hot dish, one cold dish, and one pasta.And these three dishes have gold, silver and bronze awards respectively.In other words, there are twelve awards for a ten-person final.Maybe everyone has an award, or one person can win several awards.But one thing is that all gold, silver and bronze awards, except for the final comprehensive score noun, are selected from the dishes of the top 32 chefs in the competition.So it doesn't necessarily mean that if you don't make it to the finals, you won't gain anything.

This is the first time that Yan Cong has participated in a serious official competition since he has a professional qualification certificate.Therefore, the Yan family also attaches great importance to it.The day before the competition, Yan Shouguo, Yan Jiaan and He Yuwen all rushed over.And tell him not to have any pressure, as the old saying goes, ranking is not important.What matters is the process.

Yan Cong knew that his grandfather and parents didn't want him to be too obsessed with winning or losing.But in fact, at his age, his father has already won two gold medals in national competitions.He is no longer a child in school, and it would be unreasonable if he kept talking about other pressures.However, it is true that he himself is not so obsessed with getting the number one.

The day before the game, Yan Cong chatted with his father and grandfather for a long time. While drinking the unique local wild flower tea, Yan Cong talked about some things about Yan Jiaan's previous games.It seems that it has nothing to do with teaching skills, but in fact, Yan Cong has learned most of the secret recipes over the years.What's more, Mr. Yan and Yan Jia'an hope that Yan Cong can develop while inheriting.Nothing can adapt to the changes of the times if it is completely conservative.But blind innovation is certainly not enough.How to grasp this scale is not something they can teach.Only after Yan Cong personally experienced it can he have more insights.

And telling him about the previous games is actually teaching him some mentality when dealing with the game.Yan Jiaan said: "I don't just win the gold medal and No.1. There are also times when I get rejected in advance. Some people laugh at them, others encourage them. In fact, the most important thing is to look at your own mentality. But people, how can it be possible for all Things are indifferent. So I sometimes get angry when I don’t play well. Seeing people who think they are not as good as themselves go up, but I come down, it’s hard to balance the mentality.”

Yan Cong asked: "Then how did you adjust it?"

"What do you adjust? If you want to be angry, you will still be angry, if you want to be frustrated, you will still be frustrated. But no matter how bad you are, you still have to complete what you should do. This is the most basic principle of being a human being. Since it is a responsibility, you can't let it go easily. Do you think Thinking, if you didn’t compare well before and stopped before the 32nd place, would you be angry or annoyed?”

Yan Cong nodded: "Of course I am annoyed. But if there is no interference from others, I will not be angry. Even if it is not that my skills are inferior to others, it is because I am not performing properly. It is still my own fault."

Yan Shouguo smiled and said: "Did you see? Xiao Cong is better than you. I said you were domineering, but you were still not convinced. No matter what you say, everyone knows that you have a good temper. Look at your son! That's how you feel." It's great!"

Yan Jiaan was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Xiao Cong's mentality is indeed better than mine. So he was more stable than me during the game. I watched the videos of the previous games, and he was able to hold the line better than I was back then."

Yan Cong felt a little embarrassed: "Stop praising me."

The two elders didn't teach what kind of dishes to prepare for the challenge, and the younger one didn't ask this question either.There is a tacit understanding between each other without mentioning the specific content of the game.After returning to his guest room, Bai Jincheng asked, "What did grandpa and dad say? What are you going to do tomorrow?"

Yan Cong replied: "We didn't talk about this. We just talked about some gossip. As for what to do, I have already thought about it. But the specifics still have to be adjusted on the spot. I have made shrimp balls in soup before. Although it is not an innovative dish, it is safe. , and the chicken soup jelly in it has a lot of room to play. In fact, this dish is also very particular about the heat. The fried things should be non-greasy and have a 'floral aroma'. I think I have to spend more time in the space. Try it. For cold dishes, I plan to use several kinds of vegetables and fish to make the shape of "Shuanghe Yannian". This mainly depends on the presentation. There is also a noodle dish, which I plan to make often for a while. Crisp. What do you think?"

Bai Jincheng swallowed instinctively: "Actually, I also know that this is not good. But I have to tell the truth. My father is right, and my opinions are of no practical use. Whatever you do, I think the world First."

Yan Cong was laughed at by him: "You have to taste it for a while. Come on, go in and I'll make it for you to eat. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you win the prize or not. Anyway, the task is completed. You go in and have a look at the generator later. Okay. Guys, the mini ones are so big, I dare not think about what a large generator set looks like."

When the two entered the space, Yan Cong directly pulled Bai Jincheng at the foot of the mountain to the east of the cave. "Look! Big or not!"

Bai Jincheng nodded: "It's not too small for personal use. But it's really mini. It's definitely different from the kind of unit that can only support a few light bulbs and a few small appliances."

"He also has a magical place. As long as it generates electricity here, it can be transmitted to the electrical appliances it brings in. If you look at the phone, it is always in a charging state. The system also shows that there will be no overcharging. In the future, you only need to move home appliances and machinery in. You don’t need to pull wires or anything, so convenient! No wonder it’s a wireless solar generator!”

In this unscientific space and system, every piece of equipment inside is not scientific.Then there is nothing surprising about the fact that it can be charged without going through the circuit. "Then buy a set of home appliances first. Anyway, if you turn on the hotspot inside, you can connect to the Internet outside. By the way, we should change to a bigger house. I remember that there are architectural drawings in the mall, right? See how much it costs. What material, let's find a way to transport it in."

Yan Cong touched his nose: "Actually, I quite like cabins, right?"

Bai Jincheng smiled: "Of course. This is our new house. But it should be more spacious. You think we have more and more animals, and those native ones like to squeeze in to sleep, we have to give them more Some places are not. Especially one, two, three and four, there will be puppies born after they are blind dated, they all need a place. We even need to find a separate residence for the dogs."

The more he listened, the more he felt that it made sense. Yan Cong nodded: "That's right. Let's fix the house first after the competition! I hope we don't need to build it by hand, otherwise we will be out of luck.!"

The first night he did his best in the space, at least Bai Jincheng ate to his heart's content.As soon as the two of them woke up early the next morning, Yan Cong received a call from Lidong.Said that a reporter contacted him, hoping to give him a pre-match interview.

Lidong is very eloquent, and his previous business abroad was also related to the media.So since Mu Fei's incident, more people came to "harass" Yan Cong.Bai Jincheng couldn't stay by Yan Cong's side all the time, so he temporarily asked Li Dong to help deal with the media.Li Dong is also very happy to do this job, and it happens that he also wants to continue his old career and get in touch with more people in the media, which is still very helpful for him, who has no connections in China.

The interview that made Lidong call himself early in the morning should be the kind that is not suitable for rejection.Yan Cong immediately agreed to come down, and the better the better, I will see you downstairs in the restaurant in half an hour.

The reporter is a woman in her early thirties.Short hair looks fresh and capable.The voice is also nice when speaking.She obviously had a crush on Yan Cong, and after introducing herself, she turned out to be a reporter from Shifeng.com. "I believe you should know that there are many self-recorded videos of chefs and cooking enthusiasts in the food section of our website. Mu Fei was once the most active professional chef on our website."

Yan Cong nodded: "I know. As long as I have time, I will visit your website almost every day. Not only the food area, but also architecture, fine arts and finance. I count it since the establishment of your website. , I am your user."

The reporter was obviously a little surprised: "This really surprised me. Then you are such a capable person, why don't you want more people to know about yourself?"

"I don't have enough time. After all, I was very busy before graduating from university. In addition to school courses, I also had to learn handicrafts handed down from my family. I believe you should also know my life experience. After all, I didn't grow up around my parents, I If I miss too much time, I need to use more rest time to make up for those shortfalls. Browsing the website is my way of leisure, and it may become another kind of work, and I will be a little bit overwhelmed.”

"Then would you consider posting some videos on our website in the future?" The reporter was obviously not giving up.

Yan Cong smiled: "It depends on the situation. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. I really can't give an accurate answer now. But I won't have any bad opinions on Shifeng.com because of other people's actions. This I can still tell the difference.”

I chatted with this reporter for about an hour.Because they didn't eat breakfast, it was basically equivalent to chatting while eating.Afterwards, it was not so much like an interview, but more like a chat between friends.But the reporter found that Yan Cong's seemingly casual words were actually impeccable.Even if she didn't think about writing anything bad, she has to say that the people raised by such a family are really cautious.But she also understands, after all, Yan Cong didn't do anything before, and Mu Fei and those who supported him made rumors like that.How can we not be on our guard against these reporters.

After the reporter left, there was still a long time before the game started at 04:30 in the afternoon.But this time the ingredients also need to be presented to choose by themselves.Moreover, they have to go through the inspection of the organizer before they can officially enter the competition venue.So Yan Cong had to go grocery shopping.

Considering that there may be a lot of things purchased this time, the organizer has assigned two staff members to each chef.Of course, chefs can also bring their assistants to buy and sell, but during the competition, it is different from the usual back kitchen, and assistants are not allowed to help.In addition, Yan Cong didn't have an assistant, and he didn't have time to spend long hours in the back kitchen.Therefore, among the ten chefs, Yan Cong was the only contestant who was accompanied by only two staff members.

From selecting the ingredients to sending the ingredients to the inspection team, and then rushing to the competition venue after a quick lunch at noon for cooking and grinding and other preparations.Because many condiments and even the main ingredients in cooking require a long period of preparation, it is not illegal to prepare in advance.
