Chapter 2209: Pre-match preparations
Translator: 549690339
The official start time of the competition was nineo’ clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, and it was based on a two-match system.
In detail, the top 20 would enter the top 10 on the first day, the top 8 would enter the top 10 on the second day, and the third place would be decided on the third day.
In fact, if they really wanted to compete, with such a large venue and scale, the competition could be completed on the first day.
But wouldn’t it be a loss to set up such a large venue in the city and finish the competition in one day?
If it wasn’t for the fact that the schedule couldn’t be delayed any longer, it would have been five days.
Back to the main topic, the bogus cooking competition still had the most famous award, which was the most popular dish of the audience. However, this award required all the judges to give full marks.
If the conditions were not met, it would be an empty choice. With such a rule, it could be expected that there would only be a few awards in history.
The reason why Yuan Zhou came here a little earlier was to get familiar with the local environment of Lyon. The most important thing was the local ingredients.
In fact, besides Yuan Zhou, there were also other winners from all over the world who came to Lyon to participate in the competition. After all, France not the only one in the whole competition area. There were three competition areas in Europe alone, which was quite a number.
The special point about Yuan Zhou was that he was the one who directly invited the participants of the final.
After arriving at the hotel, August didn’t stay for long. Instead, he set off after telling Yuan Zhou about the process of the competition and other related matters. They had just arrived and definitely needed a good rest. August understood this very well.
Even if he really wanted to communicate with Yuan Zhou, he planned to do so after the competition.
“I wonder how high the standard of this Chinese chef is. He even rejected Mr. Podraco’s previous visits, yet the boss values this person so much.” Hakeem had such a question in his heart.
......
Podraco was a famous chef in Europe, and he was also the most promising candidate to take over as the president of the French food Association.
Hakeem took a good look at how amazing Yuan Zhou’s performance was when he was preparing for the competition. There were so many participants, but only Yuan Zhou could be picked up by August personally. He was definitely not an ordinary person.
What Hakeem didn’t know was that Auguste was the one who had snatched Yuan Zhou away.
It was snatched from Gauss. It would be too high-profile if Gauss and August came together. In order not to cause trouble for Yuan Zhou, the two of them argued for a while. In the end, the result was that August was definitely more skilled.
Yuan Zhou didn’t know that. He was currently arranging the things he brought.
The organizers of the competition were very generous this time. In order to allow every participating chef to participate in the competition with a peace of mind and have their own space to practice before the competition, the rooms were all luxurious suites with a full set of kitchen equipment.
Everyone knew that very few hotels allowed their guests to cook for themselves.
Of course, the organizing committee wouldn’t make a loss by attracting tourists and bringing economic benefits.
“Master, do we need to take out these condiments?” Cheng zhaomei was sorting out some of the usual seasonings and special sauces brought by Yuan Zhou. Zhong Lili had really put in a lot of effort in order to apply to bring these things out.
“No need, just bring it to the venue when the time comes.” Yuan Zhou said directly.
After hearing his Master’s words, master Cheng directly moved his hands away from those things and put the bag on the shelf over there.
When Yuan Zhou looked at the time, he intended to tell Cheng zhaomei about the revision of the homework he handed in two days ago.
“Zhao Mei, come here. Didn’t I tell you how to deal with beef offal a few days ago? have you thought about it carefully after you went back?” Yuan Zhou waved his hand at Cheng zhaomei and said.
Just as she put her luggage away, she heard the master’s call. Cheng zhaomei immediately walked over and sat down at Yuan Zhou’s gesture. Then, she began to tell him what she had done.
While Yuan Zhou was examining his apprentices, some of the contestants on the other side were not so relaxed. The atmosphere was a little tense.
“Shua shua shua”
The chopping board made a sound when it came into contact with the knife. PEI Ruman carefully observed the cut between the ingredients and the knife while trying to control the speed of the knife. He was practicing his cutting skills, hoping to improve a little before the competition.
As the champion of Europe’s First Division, perroman had always been a humble person who wanted to do his best at any time.
Of course, there were also two or three people who had a good relationship with each other who gathered together to discuss and verify each other’s opinions. It seemed to be quite lively.
There were also people like Butler and Julian, who were sitting opposite each other. Some of them were looking at each other, but they also had excited expressions on their faces.
Of course, this was the only one who had such a performance.
“I heard that chef Yuan has already arrived today. Do you think we should go and take a look?” Said Steele with uncertainty.
Ever since she and Julian had been tormented by Yuan Zhou’s cooking video last time, she had inexplicably felt that she and Julian were in the same boat. Therefore, they had changed from ignoring each other to sitting together and discussing Yuan Zhou from time to time.
“I think we’ll be able to see it in the competition the day after tomorrow anyway. It’s better not to go now, so as not to mess up our state of mind.” Julian, however, had a different idea.
Julian knew the importance of a person’s state of mind and how to maintain a calm state of mind.
“What you said makes sense.” Said Steele, looking pensive.
In fact, he didn’t really want to go. Although he could enter the finals this time, the impression left by Yuan Zhou’s amazing cooking skills was too deep.
It was very lively in France, and it was not much less so in China.
“Lili, have you informed everyone? we’ll be leaving tomorrow morning. Have you booked the hotel? is it near the venue?” Zhou Shijie asked several questions in a row.
“Don’t worry, President. I’ve already informed the exchange group to gather at the airport at nineo’ clock tomorrow morning. The hotel has been confirmed to be the poseco hotel, which is right next to the venue. It’s helped by head chef August from France.” Zhong Lili said seriously.
In order to cheer for Yuan Zhou and celebrate the first time that someone from Asia had participated in the bogus cooking competition, Zhou Shijie decided to take the exchange group to cheer for Yuan Zhou in advance.
In this way, they would have to solve the accommodation and other problems if they went there in advance. However, when Zhong Lili and ogyust met up, ogyust offered to help them solve the problem. With the help of the local tyrant, Zhong Lili naturally had a much easier time.
“That’s good. ” Zhou Shijie walked around for two rounds and found that there seemed to be nothing else that needed to be instructed.
Just as he was about to wave his hand to signal Zhong Lili to get off work, he suddenly thought of something.”Did you inform teacher Xu? how many people are going with him?”
Yuan Zhou had entrusted the problems of Xu ban and the others to Zhou Shijie. Naturally, Zhou Shijie would do his best. In fact, as long as it was Yuan Zhou’s matter, he would treat it seriously.
The bogus world cooking competition was a good opportunity for Chinese cuisines to become famous, so the preparation work naturally had to be comprehensive.
“Don’t worry, President. I’ve already informed Secretary Xu. There are three people with him, and they’re all fine.” When Zhong Lili talked about serious business, she was absolutely Swift and decisive.
“That’s good. You’ve worked hard. You can get off work now. ” Zhou Shijie waved his hand to let Zhong Lili get off work as it was getting late.
Zhong Lili also felt that things were almost settled, so she left work after saying goodbye. After all, she still had some luggage to pack.
