[Comprehensive Entertainment] Reincarnation reality show

This is the path Yili chose.

From the time she made up her mind to stand out in front of the chef, she was ready to be attacked by the crowd - she had to be affirmed by the judges and welcomed by the opponents. There was no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world.

Not to mention, everyone in this game is an opponent, and everyone's position is naturally hostile.If two people can get along well, and even become good friends, there is only a very small possibility that they regard each other as sincere friends, and the greater possibility is driven by interests and positions.In Hell's Kitchen, it is not uncommon for a seemingly good "friend" to stab himself in the end.

Instead of focusing on managing the relationship with other people and gaining one or several friends who may not be loyal or even betray you at a critical moment, it is better to devote yourself to the competition and win the favor of the chef. This is the best way. The practical strategy is also the most feasible way to keep yourself until the end.

Yili was already ready to face everything, to face this beleaguered competition.

Being able to meet Xie Cheng on the flyover and Kate on America's Next Top Model was already her greatest luck. It was beyond reality and so unbelievably lucky. She didn't expect that she could have this kind of luck in Hell's Kitchen. Lucky.

As for Denisa, Yili regards the other party as a friend, and will never take the initiative to attack the other party or have any intention to attack, and will only compete with the other party in a dignified manner.But, deep down, she wasn't sure Denissa felt the same way.

Xie Cheng loved her, so the two of them had a fair match by coincidence. They didn't use any tricks, but supported each other in the match, and she won that match by luck.

Kate trusts her, and Kate is not one of the strongest players in the first place, and her ambitions for the championship are limited. Are you so peaceful in the game?This is a real and scary question, but luckily it's a no-brainer assumption.

But here is Hell's Kitchen, there is no Xie Cheng, no Kate, only the fierce rivals Renee, Gina, Adam, the ulterior Josh, Whitney, Reynolds, the loyal and indistinguishable Julie, Even Denisa and Irene, who get along well with Yili, can they trust each other...

Hell's Kitchen is too dangerous to be trusted.

"Leah." After saying good night to the chef, the players of the two teams walked back to the dormitory area together. Denisa deliberately slowed down and fell to the last of the red team and the front of the blue team—everyone in the team. Status is actually very easy to link with location, and walked side by side with Yili to the dormitory area.

"Well, what's the matter?" Yili turned her head and said after taking Denisa's words.

"You look a bit depressed." Denisa said softly, "Aren't you happy with the blue team?"

"It's okay." Yili shook her head, showing a brisk smile—even if she really felt uncomfortable in the blue team, she would not be able to apply to the chef to return to the red team, and the red team is not a safe place , there is actually no difference between the two teams in this regard.As long as she still performs well and still gets the favor of the chef, she is doomed to be unable to avoid the explicit or covert attacks of others.

"Don't fall down." Denisa touched Yili's arm and whispered, "Those bastards will leave sooner or later, and the one who stays to the end will naturally be the winner. Until then, you have to persevere and persevere."

Denisa also heard the bet between Yili and Adam, and was deeply touched—the students in the ivory tower may not feel it (but they can be aware of it to some extent), but like her, working for her career in society And the hard-working woman really knows Leah's feelings too well, and she hates Adam even more.It can be said that she is absolutely on Yili's side in this matter, both emotionally and rationally.

"Okay." Yili could hear the sincerity in Denisa's words - Denisa, can you believe it?At this moment, she couldn't help thinking like this, and she showed a natural smile to the other party, and replied with the same sincerity, "Thank you, Denisa."

"It's nothing." Denisa also smiled at Yili, and the two of them found the feeling of supporting and encouraging each other like teammates of the red team.

To be honest, Denisa's words were not pleasant, gorgeous, and had no touching context, but the other party was indeed so sincere, which made Yili feel that she was not alone.She felt that her heart, which was tense in the air, slowly fell to the ground, stable and solid, and the courage to fight surged in her heart-for her, this was of course a battle, a fight for her life.Even without Denisa's words, she would not relax or compromise.But when I hear such words, I will always feel ironed when I realize that there is such a person by my side.

Behind the two, Justin looked at them silently, and quickly lowered his eyes.

Sean's elimination was a greater shock to him than anyone else.Sean is to him what Denisa is to Leah, they are one of the few people they can trust in the game.

The two are not only friends, but also a brotherly relationship that is deeper than friends.Many people are not good at words, just like Justin, but this does not mean that they have no feelings, on the contrary, their clumsy expression of speech makes them put more and deeper emotions in their hearts.Sean's departure, for Justin, was not only a shock, but a blow.Even the small satisfaction of fighting side by side with Leah in the same team can't wash away this loss at all.

"Justin." After walking through the not-so-long corridor, Yili was about to go back to the women's dormitory with Denisa, so she was about to say goodbye to Justin and other teammates, "I'll go first, good night, and you guys, Good night."

"Good night." Both Josh and Renault looked a little uncomfortable, but they both said goodbye to Yili politely.

"...huh." Adam let out a faint hum, turned his head, and deliberately ignored Yili's greeting, but his eyes couldn't hide his color - even if he stood on the elimination seat all the time, the person who stayed behind , isn't it also him?Chef thinks he's strong (ignoring Adam's incredible source of confidence for now) and shouldn't be going back, so no one else can send him back!

"...Good night." Justin hesitated to speak - he wanted to talk to Leah again, just talk, but he couldn't say it.If Sean was here, the atmosphere in their team would be a little more relaxed and active, and it would be more natural for him to let Lia stay here for a while.However, his friend left after all, and the girl he liked had nothing more to say to him.So, with a touch of unwillingness and regret, he pulled out a slightly introverted smile and nodded goodbye to the other party.

Yili also smiled and nodded at Justin, and then turned around and walked towards the bedroom with Denisa who was waiting for her.

In the bedroom, one step back, Renee and the others who had already sat on the bed raised their eyebrows, and let out a soft hum that was strangely similar to Adam. Irene beside him frowned, and confronted an annoying and helpless person with Denisa. Eyes—she and Denisa are both on the same team and in the same position as Renee, so some things are difficult to say.This is also the tacit understanding of teammates, even if it is a teammate who is not in tune, but it is unreasonable to put it against one's teammates for the sake of the opponent-no matter how annoying the teammate is, or even disliked by the audience, but this is It's a matter of position.

"Come back?" Renee didn't see it at all, or she didn't care about the expressions and eyes of Denisa and Irene, and said to Yili in a tone mixed with complacency, showing off, and mocking.

"Yeah." Yili nodded to Renee indifferently, the expression on her face could be said to be indifferent - with Renee's character, it is not normal to be quiet and modest at this time, and Yili will be scared She jumped, this level of sarcasm was completely expected by her, she didn't feel it at all - a chained vicious dog was barking at people, as long as the chain was not broken, there was nothing to care about.To put it bluntly, it was just a bluff, and there was nothing to worry about.

"..." Renee hated Leah the most!Always look calm and breezy, and don't care about anything!Every time Renee felt that she had the upper hand and could taunt the other party, the other party showed such an indifferent attitude that Renee felt completely unable to speak!

Moreover, it's fine if the other party is pretending, but Renee can feel that Leah really doesn't feel any irony from her!This is the biggest irony to Renee!Renee feels terrible!Obviously won the game, but not happy at all, this is too [beep] aggrieved! ! ! [beep]! [beep]! [Beep] Ahhh! ! !

"If it's okay, let's take turns to take a shower and rest." Here, Yili was completely indifferent to Renee's flushed and pale face, and just looked at other people, including Irene who secretly pursed her lips and laughed secretly. Said.

And after noticing Renee's smirk, Yili couldn't help showing a smile, and shook her head helplessly and indulgently in her heart--Irene was a little angry, but luckily Renee didn't notice, Otherwise, there will be another dispute.However, at that time, Yili must have stood beside Irene.

"Okay." Denisa said cooperatively, deliberately ignoring Renee, who was angry, anxious and speechless with Yili. Denisa turned back with a stern look that implied warning.

Leah is not on the red team, but she is still on the red team!If she wants to do something to Renee, it's definitely easier than Leah!Of course, a hob like Renee would never be afraid of Denisa, but she didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she curled her lips angrily, and remained silent unwillingly and unwillingly.

The female players quickly showered and went to bed.

Silent all night.

***

Early the next morning, the two teams were brutally woken up again by their respective sous chefs.

"Wake up! Wake up! Go downstairs and assemble!" Andy knocked on the big iron basin with a big iron spoon, making a terrible sound of clang clang, and said loudly to the contestants, "You only have 10 minutes to take care of yourself. , Hurry up! The chef is already waiting for you downstairs!"

"...Yes, sous chef!" After a short period of fright and confusion, the female contestants yawned one after another, and answered weakly, while changing their clothes quickly with their hands and feet, and hurried to the bathroom to rinse Wipe your face.

After 10 minutes, almost all players from both teams appeared in front of the chef—almost.

"One, two, three, four..." Gordon could tell at a glance which idiot hadn't arrived, but he counted them specially to enhance the effect of the show, "There are eleven people here, but I should see Up to twelve people! Where is one more person!"

"..." The players looked at each other in blank dismay. Of course they knew who was absent, but no one knew the reason for the absence.

"Who the hell!" Gordon yelled, "Can someone [beep] tell me!"

"...It's Reynolds, Chef." Faced with Chef's anger, Yili immediately reported the absence of the blue team to the Chef, facing Josh's surprised eyes—this is not a betrayal of teammates at all, Chef She also knows about people who are late, even if she doesn't say it, the chef knows it, and it will make her even more angry.Yili guessed how the chef would yell, 'Is there anyone who can [beep] tell me!None of you [beep] know! ! ! 'Instead of suffering collectively, it is better for her to say a word.

At this time, there is no harm in being the first bird. The chef may have a better impression of those who dare to stand up at this time.

As for Renault, being late is his own problem, not to mention, even if Yili keeps silent, or takes the initiative to help him cover up (how to cover up is also a problem in this environment where there are all cameras), Renault will not appreciate her. Definitely, and it doesn't matter to Yili even if she feels a little disgusted.At least, in Yili's view, the chef's favor is far more important than Renault's negligible dislike, and the chef's favor can never be too much.

"Reynolds!" Gordon showed an angry but not surprised expression, "Where is he [beep]!"

"Here! Here!" On the stairs, Renault almost jumped down while running, "I'm here! I'm sorry, Chef." Renault quickly stood beside the blue team, showing an apologetic expression to the chef .

"Where did you [beep] go!" Gordon looked at his watch, pointed at Renault, and tapped the dial forcefully, "Did you see that, sir! I said 10 minutes, and it's almost 13 minutes now! Excuse me [beep] ] Can you have a sense of time?"

"I'm sorry, Chef." Renault apologized again stiffly.

"What the hell did you [beep] do! Isn't 10 minutes enough for you to change your clothes and wash your face!" Gordon didn't let Renault go.

"I..." Lei Nuo's face was a little red, and it took him a long time to say as thin as a gnat, "I have a physical problem in the morning."

"What?" Gordon didn't understand at all, "tell me louder! That's how you apologized?!"

"I...I'm constipated, Chef!" Renault shouted to the Chef, desperately.

Constipation...constipation...constipation...

Renault's shouts echoed in the restaurant.

"puff……"

"Haha...cough..."

Everyone desperately covered their mouths to prevent themselves from laughing out loud in front of the chef.

Of course, this effort was not fully effective, all kinds of strange (please forgive this inappropriate adjective) laughter leaked from other people's mouths and fingers, and then they were held down even more desperately.The faces of the contestants flushed red, even redder than Lei Nuo who was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in!

"Ahem..." Even Gordon raised the corner of his mouth, but he was forced to hold it down again. He even had to stretch out his fist to block the corner of his mouth that was still about to turn up, intentionally After coughing twice, he asked Lei Nuo sternly, "Then did you succeed in the end?" Speaking of which, although the chef's face was still solemn, he was actually not angry anymore—this kind of physiological Problems are always inevitable, especially since Reynolds is already in his mid-fifties (older than the head chef), and it's no surprise that he's starting to have some of the little problems common to older people.

"Uh, yes, chef." Renault bit the bullet and lied.

"That's good." Gordon nodded solemnly, "Otherwise, I'll think about it, and I'll give you a little more time to solve your morning problems." Seriously, Gordon I thought that Renault was late to solve the morning problems of men, but I didn't expect to solve the morning problems of middle-aged and elderly people.For the latter, the chef is of course much more tolerant.

"..." Renault looked at the chef in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer.

"Need it?" the chef asked with concern.

"No need!" Renault blushed and said firmly!

"Pfft...cough!"

Others couldn't help but want to laugh, but they had to continue to hold back desperately—for the contestants, today's test might have already begun, starting with not laughing out loud in front of the chef.

"Well, since this is the case..." Gordon shrugged regretfully, but he also guessed that Renault would say this-at this time, it is a string in his mind to give an affirmative answer, "Then let's use a Let's have breakfast, I think, have you seen the breakfast on this long table?" Gordon waved to the contestants, and all eyes fell on the long table in the center of the restaurant.

"Yes, Chef." The contestants said in unison.

"Okay, sit down, let's have breakfast first." Gordon took a seat at the front, and the contestants looked at each other in puzzlement for a moment, and soon sat down on the left and right sides of the chef.

The long tables are filled with high-end buffet-style dishes.

People who dine can take it according to their own taste.

"I make cheese fondue, meat sauce, caviar, and this kebab, which is similar to Middle Eastern barbecue..." The chef introduced the food on the table to the players one by one, and signaled that the players can eat, "Come on Come on, eat by yourself."

"Yes, chef." The contestants paused. After seeing the chef's first move, although they also hesitated in their hearts (the chef usually dines with the winning team of the challenge, which is regarded as management), but Let’s start with the food—after all, it’s rare to find food cooked by a three-star Michelin chef!If they go to the restaurant to eat by themselves, they don't necessarily have the money to enjoy the specially customized breakfast of the three-star chef!

Watching the contestants start to taste the food with relish, Gordon also ate the slices of bread, while starting today's chat-like conversation, "Today, what I want to talk to you about is the taste."

The chef started with this sentence.

When he spoke, the contestants couldn't help but slow down the pace of dining, and turned to look at the chef.

Yili has almost guessed the theme of today's challenge.

"When you eat the same food, you need to know what you are eating." Gordon said pointingly, and asked seemingly casually, "Adam, I see you are eating non-stop. Cheese, what do you think of fondue?"

"I think it's very delicious!" Adam said without hesitation. This is the chef's own breakfast, and he can't praise it enough, so he added, "I think it has a strong texture and a great taste. The creamy taste is very mellow, and it can stay in the mouth for a long time without spreading, I think, there must be very high-grade cheese used here?" He boasted cleverly.

"Hmm." Gordon was noncommittal, and turned to another person, "Gina, are you eating a kebab? What do you think of this kebab? What do you think?"

"I think it is very delicious, very Middle Eastern, and the best barbecue I have ever eaten!" Gina racked her brains and tried her best to apply the wonderful words she knew to this barbecue. With a limited vocabulary, she couldn't make any high-level comments, so she could only simply say, "The pineapple tastes very good, and the barbecue tastes very good, this combination is very good! I like it very much! I can eat it Such a large plate of barbecue, eat all day!"

"Wow." Gordon nodded at Gina's praise, and then turned to another person, "Then Josh, do you like meat sauce better? I see you eat more of it, you don't like it How's the evaluation?"

"It's great!" Josh also gave a good review immediately, "The meat sauce has a very strong taste, and the taste is wonderful!"

"Renee?" Gordon looked at another player from the red team, "What do you think? What do you like?"

"I like caviar." Renee wisely picked a superlative food, "In the past, the caviar I have eaten is always fishy and smelly, making it difficult to swallow, but this one is completely different! It has The caviar is fresh and sweet, but it doesn’t have that fishy smell at all, it’s so delicious! I hope I can eat this kind of caviar every day in the future!”

"Hmm." Gordon was a little disappointed by the uniform responses of the contestants. Of course, he didn't show it at all on the surface. Afterwards, he picked a few more people and got similar answers. Finally, he finally asked one of the few Among the players who have not been asked, a player he has seen more, "Dinisha, which one do you like?"

"I think the meat sauce is good." Denisa thought for a while, and said slowly, "It's seasoned very well, and the meat taste is very clear." But I always feel that there is something strange.Denisa didn't want to make the chef unhappy, so it's hard to say the latter sentence, but she gave a very high evaluation of the chef's seasoning, that is, the cooking skills, and the overall evaluation of the meat sauce stayed at good .

"You don't like it that much?" Gordon asked suddenly, "Why?"

"No, I don't dislike it." Denisa immediately denied, "I think this is an excellent meat sauce, it is indeed one of the best meat sauces I have ever eaten, and the seasoning is impeccable , and the taste is outstanding.”

"Oh..." Hearing what Denisa said, Gordon was disappointed instead.

"Then, Leah?" Gordon looked at the last contestant—he always had relatively high expectations for Leah, so he kept it until the end this time, thinking that Leah might find out the problem.Of course, judging from the reactions of the previous players, maybe he was thinking too much... He didn't have to worry about what these idiots would eat!

"I think the caviar is very good, but..." Yili hesitated to speak, but when she looked at the chef, the chef didn't show any displeasure on his face. Instead, he nodded suggestively, encouraging her Going on, so Yili really went on, "This caviar has no fishy smell at all, not at all, and the taste is a bit bland, and the elasticity is not enough when chewing. That kind of delicious taste with a slight tongue..."

Yili has eaten the most expensive top-level orthodox sturgeon roe worth tens of thousands of dollars, and she has also tasted ordinary salmon roe caviar on the market.Of course, Eli felt nothing for either.The former is delicious, but it is not very suitable for Yili's taste.

Between Chinese and Western food, Yili herself prefers Chinese food. In her opinion, the top Chinese food can beat the top Western food in seconds—this is actually a matter of personal taste, not that Western food is inferior to Chinese food.The two are different food systems, and there is no distinction between them.Of course, it would be unfair to compare Chinese fast food with high-end Western food, or high-end Chinese food with Western fast food.

However, not liking it that much doesn't mean that Yili can't taste that difference.Even if this caviar is not so high-grade, it is relatively light (high-grade caviar is naturally saltier, and less salt needs to be artificially added in the subsequent seasoning), and it does not look so beautiful (high-grade caviar is fuller and glossier), but The essence of caviar is fish eggs, so it must be fishy and salty, but the taste of this caviar is more like it is not made by itself, and the taste is not quite right. Yili has some doubts that this is not real caviar.

But she couldn't figure out what it was - after all, it was cooked and seasoned the day after tomorrow, and it was served by a Michelin three-star chef, so it was quite normal for Yili not to be able to taste it.In fact, she was able to speak this far, which already satisfied the chef.

"Then, do you think it's caviar?" Gordon finally had the opportunity to say this designed line - he had to be mentally prepared that no one would eat it. Hearing Yili's evaluation, A smile finally appeared on his face.

"No, I don't think it is." The chef has said so much, what else does Yili not understand?

"So what do you think it is?" Gordon pressed.

"This..." Yili really couldn't taste it, she could only guess vaguely, "Fish?" Yili couldn't think of anything other than fish if she could misrepresent caviar.After all, fish meat also has a fishy and umami taste, and it comes from the same fish as caviar, and the fish balls made also have a springy texture (but different from the springy teeth of caviar), which is the closest to caviar up.

"What kind of fish?" Gordon already affirmed Yili's previous answer in a disguised form.

"Sturgeon?" Yili really guessed randomly - sturgeon caviar is the most authentic, so she guessed like this.

"No, it's catfish. It's made using molecular cooking techniques. As you know, this technique is a new direction of catering in recent years." Gordon finally announced the answer with a smile, and even revealed a little bit of the method - of course the specific recipe he I won't say it.

"Leah, I'm amazed that you could guess it was fish. You know, most people wouldn't even be able to tell that it wasn't caviar at all, even professional chefs! Look, no one else in there would have noticed , and even eat it with gusto!" Gordon looked at some people pointedly, many of them bowed their heads silently, and then said to Yili, "You can tell that this is not authentic caviar, but you can also tell that this It was made separately, which is remarkable. Very good taste, very good."

Gordon said it was excellent twice in a row to emphasize his admiration for Yili, and everyone else couldn't help but hate and envy, especially Renee who just praised Caviar by name!When she thought that it was not caviar that she didn't eat at all, but Liya got the chef's praise for this, she felt a fire burning in her heart, and she wished she could throw the table off!

What is this!What kind of tricks is the chef playing?Is this playing tricks on them?Watching them eat fake products is very happy, isn't the chef also very happy?Renee was very dissatisfied!However, she dared not say a word of this kind, and of course, she did not dare to show any dissatisfaction with the chef on her face.In the end, she could only vent her anger on Yi Li, and when the chef turned his head to talk to Yi Li, she glared at Yi Li viciously.

"Thank you, Chef." Yi Li's gaze towards Renee was indifferent - Renee's eyes can't really kill, it's just being looked at, it doesn't matter at all, Yi Li won't even be nervous, more Wouldn't take this to heart.

"..." Yili's ignoring reaction made Renee gnash her teeth even more. Her hand hanging under the table grabbed her napkin heavily, and unconsciously pulled and rubbed it. It can be seen that it has been torn and deformed...

—God, how much Renee hated Leah? !

——When I saw what happened to that napkin, I thought Renee was terrible!

——This is in the show, Renee will definitely not and dare not do anything to Leah, right? !

--probably……

The audience was stunned by the close-up shots on TV, and couldn't help worrying about Yili's personal safety.

——However, Lia's sense of taste is really good!How did she eat caviar made from fish? !

——That's right, no one else noticed it, but she felt it!

——No, Denisa seems to have a feeling too, but the feeling is not as clear as Leah's, and it is not as sure as Leah's.

——Leah should have a better sense of taste.

——Look again, if it really comes to the test, you will know the outcome.

——This time should be a taste test!

--should be.

The audience couldn't help but speculate.

"So, how do you feel about the others?" Here, Gordon is continuing to ask Ellie, "Fondue, pate, kebab, what do you think they are made of?" Gordon's words have almost revealed these The truth about food—at least, they're not what they seem to be!

"What?!" The other contestants' eyes widened in astonishment. They didn't expect that after the caviar was fake, all other foods were also faulty!In other words, in this breakfast, it’s okay to have bread and biscuits as a side dish...

"As for the cheese fondue, I think the texture is a bit strange, it doesn't look like it's made with melted cheese, but the milky taste is indeed very strong, but in terms of the delicate and smooth texture..." Yi Li was also not sure about this.

"It's actually made of sprayed cheese." Gordon quickly announced the answer, and went on directly, "The pate is actually made of ground hot dogs, and the kebabs are made of frozen meat... "

In other words, almost all cheap ingredients are used instead of real good ingredients.

"..." The contestants were all stunned—starting with caviar, they should know how different the real ingredients of these foods are from their appearance!But the cheapness of these ingredients really exceeded their imagination!If it is placed in a restaurant, it is shoddy, and if customers find out, the reputation of the restaurant will be completely ruined, and the closure is a matter of course!Of course, it is also possible that the restaurant operator lacks the ability to identify in this area, so he was deceived by the supplier, which led to the bankruptcy of the restaurant's reputation...

"This is what I want to tell you." Gordon said heavily to the contestants, "As a chef, you need to know much more than ordinary assembly line chefs. In terms of ingredient procurement and quality control, you must strictly control Control, shoddy goods are absolutely not allowed! This is a little reminder from me to you."

"Yes, Chef!" Chef's reminder really gave many contestants a blow, and they really felt like they had just woken up from a dream!Being a good chef is definitely not the same as being a good chef. They still have a long way to go to become a good chef!At this moment, the players all realized this.

Seeing the thoughtful expressions of the players, Gordon knew that they had listened to the words, so he nodded and said to them, "Next, let's start this challenge."

The contestants looked at the chef one after another.

"Yes, I don't know if any of you have guessed that the theme of this challenge is—" Gordon nodded, "Taste test!"

--

The author has something to say: the one with catfish, I thought it was catfish roe, but later I found out that catfish roe seemed to be poisonous, so I changed it to fish meat. As for molecular cuisine, it is not far-fetched. It seems that this new technology can still be made Fruity caviar, really amazing...

I myself have only eaten molecular ice cream, and then I discussed it with a western food chef (orz I hooked up with on Zhihu for writing articles), and found that what I ate might still be fake QAQ, which is obviously so expensive! ! ! QQ

Thinking of the work of the dining table raised by the little angel before, saying that salads should be made at the side dish table, and then I also asked this question. It seems that each kitchen has a different division of labor, and some kitchens will have their own work. The appetizers are used as appetizers, and some will all go to the side dish table. This is not conclusive, it is just a habit of each person, here I will explain it to everyone~~
