Chapter 156 Knife Skills (sixth update) (Additional update for the leader of Zhong Kui’s trumpet!)
Jiang Feng woke up early the next morning. After a random and delicate skin care routine, he put on the same clothes he wore when he went to the provincial station to shoot VCR, and went to a healthy stir-fry restaurant to chop vegetables.
I haven’t touched a kitchen knife for nearly a week, so I’m not a knack for it, but I have to find a feel for it. If I don’t sharpen my weapon quickly in battle, it will be useless!
The dozens of newly delivered squabs were all quickly killed by Jiang Feng's knife, and he was very skillful in his movements of twitching and removing bones. From meat dishes to vegetarian dishes, Jiang Feng cut almost everything he could, strips, shreds, slices, and cubes, and used all kinds of knife skills.
"Er smash, don't be nervous. Our store will be open at noon today, so don't cut out more than you can sell." Jiang Jiankang consoled him.
"What are you nervous about? I'm not nervous. Dad, you misunderstood. How could I be nervous? It's not the finals, it's just the top 32. I'm definitely not nervous! I'll stop cutting the carrots in my hand after shredding them." Jiang Feng Tao, with a calm expression and a steady voice, unhurried and relaxed.
"You're cutting carrots into slices."
Jiang Feng:...
"Slip of the tongue. I'm really not nervous. I'll stop cutting the carrot after I cut it."
Jiang Jiankang:......
"Hey." Jiang Jiankang sighed deeply.
Because Jiang Feng forgot to tell Wu Minqi that his parents were back early, Wu Minqi did not come to the Healthy Stir-Fry Restaurant to help at noon. By the time Jiang Feng remembered, it was already two o'clock.
He is not nervous, not at all, but his memory has not been very good in the past ten hours.
The organizer informed Jiang Feng that he would arrive at the provincial station before 4 o'clock, and Jiang Feng set off from the Healthy Stir-Fry Restaurant at around 2 o'clock. The studio was not in the tall building where the VCR was recorded before, but in a short building next to it. Jiang Feng asked someone and found the place after struggling for more than ten minutes.
It was just before three o'clock when we arrived at the studio.
Jiang Feng was not the only one who came early. There were six players who came even earlier than him. Among them, the ones Jiang Feng was slightly impressed by were Zhao Shan, the third place player in the Peking Division, and the high school student named Zhang Qian. The others are all mediocre in appearance, featureless, neither outstandingly handsome nor outstandingly ugly, and difficult to remember.
Wait, Jiang Feng suddenly froze, he seemed to be describing himself.
Although he sometimes thinks that he is a handsome and sunny boy, the worldly view is always too harsh.
"Contestant Jiang Feng, right? And contestant Zhang Qian, oh, here. Come on, Xiao Cao, take them to put on makeup first." A staff member came over to confirm and called a young man to take Jiang Feng to the dressing room.
After Jiang Feng was led to the dressing room by Xiao Cao, he sat down on the chair according to the makeup artist's instructions, closed his eyes and let the makeup artist brush his face with various brushes, and only opened his eyes when told to.
After finishing the whole set, I took a closer look and it seems to be a bit more handsome.
Zhang Qian was still putting on makeup, Jiang Feng went out first, and Xiao Cao led another man into the dressing room.
This studio is quite large, and it feels no different from the studio at the party. After all, it has to accommodate 32 players to compete at the same time, so the area must be guaranteed first. Jiang Feng just slipped from the backstage to the front to watch for a while, and was rushed back to the backstage by the busy staff.
While Jiang Feng was strolling around, other contestants came one after another, including Zhang Guanghang.
Some people are photogenic, and they are obviously average-looking, but they look good in photos. There are also some people who are naturally in conflict with the camera. They are obviously good-looking, but they look ugly when they are photographed.
Unfortunately, Zhang Guanghang is the latter.
As a Chinese-French mixed race, 1.92 meter tall and a winner in life, his photos have never been edited!
He is even more handsome than in the photo!
It's not like Jiang Feng has never seen people who are 1.92 meters tall. Jiang Jianguo is 1.92 meters tall. He is tall and fat. He is actually strong, but he looks short because he is fat, so Jiang Feng usually does not think that Jiang Jianguo is much taller than him.
Zhang Guanghang was tall, thin and strong, so Jiang Feng chose to sit quietly in a corner.
After sitting silently in the corner for more than ten minutes, Wu Minqi came.
There are a total of 10 women among the top 32. As a chef competition, the proportion of women is quite high, and there is also an age limit. If the age limit for this competition is under 45, then the proportion of female players will probably be horribly low.
The chef industry has always been unfriendly to women.
Wu Minqi didn't even see Jiang Feng hiding in the corner, and was pulled by the staff to put on makeup.
By the time all the contestants had put on their makeup, it was already close to four o'clock. The staff gathered all the contestants and began to introduce them to some basic precautions and competition rules.
Jiang Feng finally came out of the dark corner where the light could not reach and saw the light again.
Wu Minqi was shocked when she saw Jiang Feng and said, "Where were you just now? Why didn't I see you? I thought you gave up."
Jiang Feng: "...Why did I abstain."
"Didn't you ask me to borrow a VIP ticket to watch a drama yesterday?"
Jiang Feng:...
Please stop talking and forget this little thing!
"That was actually an accident..."
……
"Okay, I've finished talking about the precautions. Now let's introduce the rules of the 32-to-16 game." The staff said.
Everyone looked at him.
"The competition format of this competition is quite special, so it is kept secret for the time being, but the information about the judges can be introduced to you now."
"The first one is Mr. Tong Deyan. I believe everyone knows that he is the chef of Zhengde Building. I don't need to introduce the details."
"The second one is Mr. Zang Mu. Everyone must be familiar with Huaiyang cuisine."
"The third one is Mr. Zhu Chang, Mr. Zang Mu's junior brother. He is also a master of Huaiyang cuisine. You should have heard of his name."
"The fourth one is Mr. Pei Shenghua, the current chef of Chengfangju and a master of Huaiyang cuisine."
"The fifth place, I need to introduce, is the sponsor of this competition, the boss of Good Taste Company, Mr. Han Guishan! Mr. Han Guishan is also a food lover, and he also knows a little about food tasting. Please Players can rest assured.”
"We randomly arrange the positions of the competition. This is the ranking list. Please take a look at it. Later we need your cooperation to go on stage and walk through the cutscene. Let our staff confirm the lighting and camera position. Please cooperate with us."
There were only a few lists that everyone had to circulate to each other. Jiang Feng looked at them and saw number 13.
……
He has a special affinity with this number recently.
Within two minutes, a staff member asked them to go to the front desk to go through the cutscenes.
Although it is a live TV broadcast, it is a cooking competition after all, so there is no BGM and no slow motion, and it will not make people appear handsome one by one like walking on a catwalk. Everyone should stand in front of their own cooking table before the live broadcast starts. When the competition is over, the live broadcast will also end.
There is also a host, who just introduces the judges to the audience. The contestants are not even introduced, and the VCR is not played. The staff explained before that the VCR will be played on the network that will be cut in a few days.
Anyway, 16 of these 32 people will be eliminated on the spot. It would be a waste of time to introduce them one by one.
It was just a formality, but some problems were discovered, and it took a lot of time to adjust lights and other things. By the time everything was ready, it was already 7 o'clock when everyone returned backstage.
Jiang Feng continued to sit in his dark corner, eating his lunch absently.
He just took a look at the game update progress, which was 99.9%.
This exciting progress bar shows that he is indeed the man destined to become the protagonist!
"Why are you hiding here?" Wu Minqi came over with a lunch box.
"It's quite quiet. There are few people in the corner." Jiang Feng said.
Wu Minqi couldn't understand Jiang Feng's brain circuit. She took a bite of cauliflower and said, "This is a knife skills competition."
Jiang Feng was stunned: "How do you know."
"Except Han Guishan, the other four judges are all masters of knife skills, especially Zhu Chang. His other skills are mediocre but his knife skills are very good. The organizer specially invited so many Huaiyang cuisine masters. This competition will definitely compete with knife skills. "Wu Minqi said.
Jiang Feng was embarrassed to tell her that he had never heard of any of the other five judges except Han Guishan and Tong Deyan, who had been announced long ago.
"You are very good at swordsmanship, so there will be no problem in advancing." Wu Minqi said and left.
Jiang Feng sat in his original position, and it took him a while to react belatedly.
Wu Minqi was comforting herself just now.
He, he is not nervous!
I’m so good at publishing the fifth chapter to the public, so I went to sleep.
