[Comprehensive Entertainment] Reincarnation reality show

Under the supervision of the female sous chef Andy, the female contestants changed into the red team chef uniform prepared for their team by the program group in dejection, and walked into the kitchen one by one.

"These." The bald-headed male sous chef Scott poured a whole box of prawns mixed with ice cubes on the large cooking table, "You have to peel them well, handle them well, and remove the shrimp threads, understand ?"

"Understood." The female contestants looked at the high pile of ice cubes mixed with shrimp, and responded listlessly.

"However, I want to remind you..." Scott showed a pleasant smile, "These shrimps are less than 50 pounds. You haven't finished peeling these, and there is another box of shrimps and several boxes of potatoes to deal with."

"Ah..." the female contestants groaned, a little reluctantly, and a little unwilling to lose the game, but under the supervision of Scott and Andy, they could only work hard.

In fact, these jobs are nothing at all.

Even though the contestants are already professional chefs who can make finished products, and they are not small workers who need to work hard to peel potatoes, chefs are not a pampered profession, but require hard-working mental and physical labor.This level of toil is not intolerable.

As for the few non-professional chefs, they have to do it by themselves when they are at home, washing and cooking dishes. Although the workload is a bit larger now, they will not complain for the final reward.

What really stimulated the female contestants were the male contestants who came out of the dormitory after changing their clothes and talking and laughing.

How can they not be jealous when the male players can go out and enjoy while they are working hard here?

"Hurry up, the helicopter is waiting for you." Gordon shouted to the male players at the door.

"Helicopter?!" The male contestants were about to scream—if beauty and costumes are women's romance, then helicopters are men's romance!Not to mention taking a helicopter, how many people have seen a helicopter up close in reality?Thinking of being able to get on the chef's helicopter in a short while, the male contestants felt dizzy all over.

Contrary to them, the female contestants whose faces sank for a moment——

They want to go on vacation too!They also want to be a helicopter!

Damn, they'll do anything as long as they don't stay in Hell's Kitchen and do these nasty jobs!

"Hey, we're going to Malibu!"

“Long live the food! Long live the beach!”

At this time, some male players waved at them with a smile. It was hard to say whether they were showing off on purpose, but undoubtedly, the already bad mood of the female players became even worse.

click...

Yili, who was concentrating on peeling the shrimp, heard the sound of something being pinched.She looked up, and saw that the heads and shells of the shrimps in the hands of several teammates had been twisted off, but they didn't notice it, and they still stared at the men's team with vicious eyes.

Of course, the men's team, who was already light-hearted at this time, didn't care about it at all. With a big smile on the corner of their mouths, they happily walked to the chef's side.

"Ladies, let's work hard for the next day." Gordon was happy to see the hostility between the two teams. The more intense the competition, the more eye-catching it was. "Let's go, men."

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Most of the female contestants were aggrieved, but Yili shook her head slightly in her heart.

The behavior of the men's team is frivolous, but they are the winners, so of course they have the qualifications to be frivolous and proud.And what they losers can do is to finish these tasks as soon as possible, take a good rest, and use tomorrow's dinner service to make a comeback!

Winning the challenge is not that important. Only the team that performed well in the dinner service can stay with all members-of course, occasionally is not without exception.Some players are not good at cooperating. Even if they fish in troubled waters with an excellent team and barely complete the dinner service, they will still be singled out by the discerning chef and driven away.

What's more, taking a step back, if the women's team won, would the female players deliberately appear silent and gentle in order to take care of the male players' mood?Absolutely not.It's best for the winning side to just go out and play around, and at best not actively stimulate the losing side.In Hell's Kitchen, that's considered kindness.Do you want to deliberately suppress your joy of winning, just to accommodate your opponent?It is impossible to think about it.

After Gordon and the male players left, Andy and Scott watched the female players work for a while, and after making sure that the female players understood their work, they left hand in hand.After all, with them here, the contestants can't really relax and talk, and the photographers have nothing to do.Of course they have to leave room for the "internal discussions" of the players.

"I said." Seeing that the two sous chefs really left, someone finally spoke up, "I think we can win."

"Of course we can win! If it weren't for some people being too slow, we would be the ones going out to play now." The black-skinned female contestant Whitney pouted, peeled off a piece of shrimp shell, and said as if to vent her anger.In this challenge, she scored at least three points, unlike some people who only got 1 or 2 points.If she gets 1 point, she will definitely pack her bags and go home immediately, what a game!This is an absolute disgrace!

"That's it." After getting someone else's answer, Renee couldn't wait to continue. She glanced at the fat contestant pointedly and said sharply, "I don't understand why some people use ready-made Is it possible that her cooking technique is to heat instant food products? And to steal other people's sauces! God, this is really shameless!"

"I didn't steal anything!" Meg couldn't help retorting, although her voice was a little weak, she still tried to defend herself, "The chef didn't say, how do I know that I can't use ready-made dough and other people's sauces? ?”

"Do you want to say this on purpose?!" Gina next to her rolled her eyes, "Don't you know the chef's standards and requirements? Then what kind of competition are you here to participate in? Seriously, the fast food restaurant in front of my house The pasta is also made with ready-made sauces and semi-finished dough bought in the supermarket. I think this is your level!" Street vendor!

"I..." Being squeezed by several people, Meg's chubby face gradually turned red—it was hard to tell whether it was anger or embarrassment, but she quickly found her point of resistance, "At least I didn't steal it! Red wine sauce Leah gave it to me!"

"..." Yi Li was shot while lying down.

Although she felt that the other people's tone was a bit mean, but objectively speaking, they were not wrong.Since Meg came to participate in the competition, of course she should be prepared, and as a member of the team, she can only bear the infamy because of her big mistake and made her teammates dissatisfied.At this point, Mira, who also only scored 1 point, is the same-but it is still too much to say that it is a steal.

But generally speaking, Meg is still in the wrong, and it is impossible for Yili to stand up and speak for her at this time.Although Yili can calmly deal with any punishment - as long as she can win the final championship, let alone lose a challenge match, she will be punished for losing every challenge match, Yili doesn't care.But it's better to win, and it's the same for everyone else - to win, to enjoy, to relax, who wants to work hard?Their incomprehension is not surprising.

Rather than saying that Eli doesn't care about Meg's mistakes, it's better to say that Eli has to forgive Meg's mistakes.Before the game is over and her teammates have made a decision that cannot be changed, Yili can only take care of the overall situation and can no longer put psychological pressure on the teammates who have already lost, but this does not mean that she will stand up for the opponent.

What Yili didn't expect was that she didn't make a sound, but the other party used her as a shield - the meaning of that sentence sounded like she offered the sauce to Meg, obviously it was Meg who gave her the sauce. Asked for!Yili didn't know if it was her superfluous intentions, but no matter what, she was unwilling to take the blame that didn't belong to her at all.

"The red wine sauce is indeed what Meg asked me for." Under the eyes of other people secretly looking at it, Yili calmly peeled off the shrimp shell, pulled out the shrimp thread, and confirmed that the shrimp had been cleaned, and then replied without raising her head , "At that time, if I don't give it to her, will she still have time to make a new sauce? Or, let her serve pasta without sauce, or pasta with canned sauce, for the chef to taste?"

Before she could determine whether Meg was throwing the blame on purpose, Yili was not going to take the initiative to attack the other party—she didn't want to accidentally hurt a good person.But she will not give up defending herself. Her words have already pointed out who is the active party, and anyone with a brain will understand.

"Then can't you remind her earlier?" Renee answered with a sly voice, "You are right next to her, and you found that her sauce was burnt, so what if you remind her?"

"How do I know that her sauce is burnt?" Yili threw the processed shrimp into the glass basin, picked up another one, raised her eyebrows absurdly and amusingly and asked, "When you compete Pay attention to other people’s movements all the time? Sorry, you can do it, but I can’t. However, if you have this ability, next time, if someone around you makes the meat raw or aged, or the vegetables are mushy, If you are too fragile, please remember to remind me, otherwise, it will be your responsibility!"

When it came to responsibility, Yili had already stopped peeling the shrimp in her hands, looked coldly at the "opponent" who wanted to be provocative, and even sounded sharp at the end of the sentence - she couldn't show weakness, especially when others deliberately found fault when.In this competition, once you show weakness, just wait for others to gnaw your bones clean!

It is human nature to like to bully the weak and fear the hard.In daily life, the moral standards and personal qualities formed over the years will make people spontaneously respect others, but in fierce competitions, everyone wants to knock out their opponents.At this time, of course, soft buns are easy to start with.And those who have this tendency in life, this negative personality will be further amplified in the game.

No matter what, Yili can't let these people think that she has no strength and no confidence. This will not make them feel at ease with her, and will only attract more attacks with malicious intentions.In previous competitions, it was difficult for some powerful players who were unable to deal with the malice of others to make it to the end, because they didn't know how to deal with them, and would only back down step by step, eventually struggling.

This competition has never been just a cooking competition, but also a leadership competition.Whoever has the stronger wrist will be able to go to the end.Yili will not let others step on her and establish their authority.She will defend her right to speak.

"Me!" Renee was momentarily at a loss for words, she was surprised by Yili's unyielding attitude.

In the previous relationship, this opponent always acted unhurriedly and kindly. Renee really thought that the other party was the kind of gentle girl with no personality, so she wanted to suppress the other party's "arrogant" arrogance—— Among all the programs in this period, there are actually quite a few people who got full marks in the first round of the challenge, but there are very few people who can get Gordon's praise from the very beginning!

Renee even wondered, if the full score is not only 5 points, does the chef want to give her 6 points or even more?Thinking of this possibility, Renee's heart couldn't help burning up.She knew that this kind of jealousy was unwise, they were still teammates at the moment, but the chef's admiration for this girl really made her hate and envy, so she couldn't help but say sour words.

When she said it, Renee didn't regret it-it was too unwise to conflict with her teammates at the beginning of the game, which really didn't look like a "team player" who took the overall situation into account.But thinking about the quiet and gentle behavior of this girl all the way, she felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. Could she still bite her back?Just in time, let the other party understand that here, the person who is not a good cook is the boss!Thinking of this, Renee also calmed down.

The only thing she miscalculated is that the other party is not the kind of idiot who can only work hard and can't argue with reason, but a seemingly calm, but in fact tough and unyielding tough bone!The attitude of the other party was nothing, but the sharp contrast really made Renee unable to react, so that her mind went blank for a while.

Moreover, what the other party said is actually very reasonable, and this is what Renee can't refute - of course, she can't always pay attention to the progress of others. In this fierce competition, it is already very good to be able to prepare her own dishes up!Who has the leeway to keep an eye on others?helping others? !That's not being kind and selfless, or being a team player, that's being stupid!

"This is your problem. Why did you push it on Renee?" Gina, who was on the side, also chimed in when she saw that Renee had lost to Yili.

Anyway, she didn't like Leah. When the rest of them got 3 or 4 points, Leah got 5 points. When they were criticized and ridiculed by the chef, she was affirmed and praised by the chef. encourage!It can be said that she is more upset with this pretentious [beep] than those bastards in the men's team!At least, the men's team is their opponent, and she is their control group!

"I'm just asking what you guys would do at this time." Yi Li said with a half-smile, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her words that wasn't expressed but that everyone could sense.Chinese people are best at word games.Even if you change the place, it's just a change of language.In many cases, tone of voice can express a lot of things.

"If we see it, of course we will remind you!" Gina stood talking without back pain, she asked intentionally, "It's you, wouldn't it be... that you didn't remind me on purpose?" There was a slight pause in her words. enough room for the listener's imagination.

"Why didn't I remind you?" Yili put down the shrimp in her hand, wiped her hands slowly, then put her arms around her body, raised her chin slightly, looked at each other coldly, and was ready to have a good time with these people Breaking apart—she knew that the time had come for Tu Qiong to meet, and this was what they really wanted to say, "Tell me a reason."

The simplest imperative sentence is also the most powerful command and deterrence.

"What more reason do you need?" Frightened by the other party's unblinking gaze, as if she could see the bottom of her heart, Gina paused, couldn't help swallowing, and then continued, "We are your opponents, Of course you don't want to see us behave well!"

Gina also knows that this reason is a bit rote, but she just wants to trouble her—it wasn't until she was in Hell's Kitchen that she understood why in the previous programs, those who were clearly teammates would intentionally or unintentionally flirt with each other. Stumble.There is no other reason, kicking out a strong opponent will increase the chance of winning by one point!What's more, the other party is someone who has been approved by the chef, so of course they must find a way to get rid of her!Not now, but later!

"This is your own delusion." Yili waved her hand impatiently, "Besides, you made a mistake—"

"...what?" Gina knew she shouldn't talk, but she just couldn't help answering in a strange way—Leah's green eyes, when they looked straight at someone, were really magical.

Leaving aside the competitive relationship in the competition, the opponent is actually completely her favorite type.Maybe the other party doesn't know it, but Gina knows how much damage this type of girl can do to lesbians!She couldn't help sticking out the tip of her tongue and licking her dry lips. She had to work very hard to look away from the other person.

"Our opponent is not us, but them!" Yili waved her arm, and her crisp movements made everyone look in the direction she pointed.It was just an empty door, but the female contestants couldn't help being shaken physically and mentally—they knew that what they meant was not the ordinary glass door, but the person who just walked out of the door—the blue team people.

"You, me, you, we are all the red team!" Yili slightly raised her voice for the first time, her eyes swept over all those who were optimistic and unconvinced.Denisa, who was standing opposite her, bent her lips and nodded silently to her—this was invisible support, which let Yili know that not everyone rejected her narrow-mindedly.This made her slightly relieved.

"We are a team, and our opponent is the blue team! Our competition is not within the team, but in Hell's Kitchen! So, stop your little tricks and play well! Otherwise, I promise, I will do my best Get rid of those who are playing tricks on your teammates in private! If you don't believe me, let's try!"

Her age was not too old among the contestants, her voice could not be said to be loud, and her expression was not so scary.She just glanced at everyone coldly and calmly, her eyes were not staring, but they couldn't help but suffocate.

Many of them have seen the majesty of the chef, which is the absolute authority over others in the kitchen, and no one can question it!And at this moment, they saw the same aura as the chef's majesty from this girl!That kind of scrutiny without anger and prestige, that kind of high-ranking arms-circling movement, everything seems to overlap with the chef who taught them a lesson!

That shouldn't be the aura that people of her age should have. She is still so young, how could she have such a condescending aura of a superior regardless of age? !

She was not their chef, but at this moment, many people clearly saw the shadow of their own chef in her, which made the most provocative contestants couldn't help being silent and completely shocked.They even wondered, if they dared to say no, the next moment, would she growl like their chef and drive them out of the kitchen mercilessly?Even though she didn't have this authority at all, they had such a terrible illusion.

In the large open kitchen, there was a moment of silence.

"what happened?"

It wasn't until the two sous chefs outside walked in under the signal of the program group that the stagnation in the air was broken.

Only then did the female players come to their senses, and vaguely realized that this teammate, who had always been humble and quiet, might be their most terrifying opponent in this match!She has that kind of temperament, a leadership temperament that controls everything and takes it easy!

Compared with the upset female contestants, the audience who watched afterward were obviously much happier!

——Good, so handsome!

——No, my saliva is about to flow out again!

——I really want to look at her, just one look!Goddess, please take a look at me! ! !

——No no no!I can't look at it any more, it's about to bend!

——The sexual orientation is very straight, but I also feel that if I look at it again, it will turn curvy, and I am a little scared...

—Hold on!There's only this one, if it's not your turn, it's useless!

— Heartbreak!hold yourself tight...

The male audience was made to look handsome, the female audience was struggling with their sexuality, and the sous chefs were startled by the excessive silence in the kitchen.

They originally thought that there would be a terrible dispute here, but they didn't expect that the dispute had just begun, and it dissipated invisibly.

For the program group, this may be too boring, but for the two sous chefs, they saw the potential of the contestants!

"Let me see your progress." Andy said to the players with a smile instead of interfering.

She walked up to the contestants one by one and looked at the glass basins filled with prawns and shrimps placed in front of everyone—the speed and seriousness of the contestants can be clearly reflected in the quantity and quality.Of course, on the first day of coming to Hell's Kitchen, no contestant will be openly lazy, but it's easy to see whether they are positive or not.

For example, the number of shrimp peeled by Liya is the most, and the shape is also the most beautiful. The problem will only appear if the peeling is not careful enough.However, it is also related to proficiency.Professional chefs may be more familiar with peeling shrimp, but a few non-professional contestants should usually buy ready-made shrimp in the supermarket, so it is not surprising that the peeling is not good.

However, generally speaking, the attitude of the players is passable, and Andy is not going to be picky anymore.Of course, even if he didn't say who was more serious and who was more perfunctory, Andy still silently wrote it down in his heart.

After confirming that the progress of the contestants was normal, the two sous chefs left the kitchen again, leaving space for the contestants.

This time, even though they were not there, the female contestants did not make any more noises—they realized that Yili was not easy to be bullied, and that the other party was not the kind of person who would get depressed and affect her performance because of other people's ridicule, on the contrary, she character is very firm.This made some people feel more vigilant when they felt troubled for her.

The first working night of the female contestants passed so dullly.

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, they finally finished their punishment, and the staff signaled them to rest.

At about the same time, the male players who had played heartily also returned together.

Compared to the female contestants who looked tired after working all afternoon and evening except for the two meal times, the smiles on the faces of the male contestants could be regarded as smug.

The two teams reunited in the public living room of the player dormitory.

What needs to be explained is that in this large dormitory, apart from the fact that the male and female bedrooms are separated—in fact, when the program first started, the bedrooms were mixed, and the public areas such as the living room, kitchen, and bathroom were mixed. .In addition, in Hell's Kitchen, cameras are everywhere, even the bathroom is no exception-of course, the inner part is not monitored.It can be said that in this competition, the players basically have no privacy.In this regard, many reality TV shows are similar.

The contestants take turns to take a shower, and if it is not their turn, they go back to the bedroom to pack their luggage, and then it is more casual to lie down in the bedroom or go to the living room to chat.Wherever they are, of course, they have to memorize the recipes for dinner service--their most important task tonight and tomorrow morning.

Many TV viewers will think that many of the contestants are professional chefs, why do they often fail to cook?

Whether they can adapt to the high-pressure and busy assembly line work is one reason, and another reason is whether the contestants are unfamiliar with the recipes and ingredients.Not all chefs are born in fine restaurants and can skillfully use the valuable ingredients in Hell's Kitchen.Many of the contestants are ordinary chefs, and they may only work in some small and medium-sized restaurants. In these ordinary restaurants, they have no access to high-end ingredients.

For example, one of Hell's Kitchen's most error-prone dishes, scallops, can cost hundreds of dollars a pound!So it's no surprise that some chefs never made scallops before coming to Hell's Kitchen!Apart from reincarnation at any cost, who else has the capital to practice frying scallops in advance at no cost?Those with such financial conditions don't need to participate in Hell's Kitchen at all, and endure the rant and scolding of the chef, just for the final reward.

"How are you guys doing today?" Whitney put her menu on the sofa, opened a bottle of red wine, and poured a glass for everyone present, regardless of gender, and motioned for everyone to take it for themselves, then endured I couldn't help asking while memorizing the recipe.

After the game was over and the punishments and rewards had been completed, the players were basically less angry.But in the next round of competition, the players' competitive spirit will only become stronger, and they will not cut half points because of the pleasant conversation they had once had-the losers desperately want to win and never want to accept punishment, while the winners I also want to keep winning, and those who have enjoyed luxurious rewards certainly want to continue enjoying it, and don't want to be assigned to work hard.

Both have a desperate drive to win, and the competition will only get more intense.

"It's great." Reynolds, who is also black like Whitney, replied proactively, "The food in that restaurant is delicious, from the appetizer to the main course to the final dessert, it is definitely the best I have ever eaten One of our favorite dishes.”

After a pause, Reynolds added, "Also, the chef invited us to drink the red wine of Li Peng Winery! It has a beautiful color like ruby, and the wonderful smell of wine overflows when you shake the glass, and the wine rolls on the tip of your tongue. The balance of sour and sweet in the aftertaste is not astringent at all, but rather intoxicating... Do you understand? It is absolutely incomparable to this wine anyway!" Renault pointed to the wine glass in his hand.

"Wait, the chef invited you to drink Li Peng's wine?" Julie, who had been quiet and insignificant, asked in disbelief, "One of the best wineries in France, Li Peng's red wine? The chef?" To be honest, she didn't even know whether the focus was on the wine itself or the chef!But no matter which one, she is very envious!

"That's right." The other male contestants also agreed. Sean sat next to Renault, patted the big man's back funnyly, and said, "Don't look at what Renault said. When the chef taught us how to taste red wine, he Incredibly clumsy."

"Hahahaha!" The male players all laughed, and Lei Nuo also scratched his head with a smile.

The dreaded dinner service has yet to begin, and the contestants are in a very lighthearted mood.

While reading unfamiliar recipes, holding a glass of red wine in hand, and chatting with other people, this is the state of the contestants at this time.

"By the way, Leah, where did you work before?" A male contestant flipped through the menu and asked casually.

In the background of the male and female contestants having a happy conversation, Yili, who is not as enthusiastic as other female contestants, is very conspicuous as she freely tastes wine and flips through recipes by herself, just making a few words from time to time.Not to mention the appearance issue, even the chef's praise for her earlier made the other contestants scrutinize and test her intentionally or unconsciously.

"I'm an assembly line chef at a seafood restaurant." Yili put down the recipes she had already mastered by heart, raised her head, and replied with a smile.Her demeanor was natural and friendly—for no particular reason, Eli didn't want to be anyone's enemy.

In fact, if Renee and the others hadn't taken the initiative to find fault with her before, she had no intention of showing her edge at all.In the situation of not being sure about each person's personality and strength, it is actually very stupid to rashly stand out. This is the reason for shooting the first bird.Even if she wants to establish her prestige in the kitchen, it must be done after understanding everyone's personality - the method of leading a wolf is obviously different from leading a sheep. The former not only needs to use absolute strength to conquer, but also needs to be wary of backlash , the latter needs constant incentives, without worrying about the danger of betrayal.

"You work at a seafood restaurant?" In the traffic car when we came, the male contestants sat on one side, and the female contestants sat on the other side, so the male contestants might not be able to hear the conversations of the female contestants. I was surprised at this time Not surprisingly, "Your ribeye steak is so good, I thought you worked at a steakhouse." Said the straightforward Sean.

"Obviously, you guessed wrong." Yi Li smiled and shook her head at him, "What about you? Where did you work before? The chef likes your smoked cod so much, do you also work in a seafood restaurant?"

"No, I'm from a steakhouse." Sean also smiled and spread his hands.

"Puchi." Everyone else laughed, "You guys are so funny! The one at the seafood restaurant makes the best steaks, and the one at the steakhouse makes the best seafood, it's amazing! Hahahaha!"

Amid the laughter of the others, Yili and Sean looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders amusedly.

All in all, outside of competitions, the male and female players are currently getting along pretty well.

Soon, after the contestants took turns taking a shower, they went back to their bedrooms to rest.

Silent all night.
