Chapter 72 The Knockout Round Begins
“Cut the tofu into hair-thick pieces?!”
Although Qin Lang's voice became lower and lower, Qi Xiaoyu, who had sharp ears, still caught the key points immediately. She couldn't help but widen her eyes with a look of astonishment, "Qin Lang, are you kidding me?"
That's soft tofu!
It may break if you apply a little force. Can such ingredients be cut into pieces as thick as a hair?
Even if she exhausted her imagination, she couldn't imagine what that would be like.
Du Weiwei and Zhao Chen on the side showed the same expression.
They also couldn't imagine what kind of knife skills could cut tofu into hair.
"You will see it in the future." Qin Lang smiled mysteriously and said no more, "Okay, okay, let's eat quickly!"
At Qin Lang's prompt, the three of them also returned their attention to the food in front of them.
cooked rice!
…
The host and guest enjoyed the meal, and the three of them left quickly after the meal.
"Next time, I will definitely not lose."
Standing outside the door, Zhao Chen looked back at Qin Lang and spoke confidently again.
"Okay, okay, let's go!" Qi Xiaoyu on the side pulled Zhao Chen, waved to Qin Lang and followed Du Weiwei.
Watching the three people leave, Qin Lang slowly closed the door.
"Grrrrrr!"
That Wensi tofu dish where the tofu is cut into hair strands!
The moment the door closed, Dan Bao flew up and nuzzled Qin Lang's face, with a searching look on his face.
Being familiar with his Yuling Chef, he knew that Qin Lang was most likely preparing to cook this dish in the next knockout competition!
Thinking of the suspicious expressions of the three of them when they were eating just now, Dan Bao snorted.
You know nothing about my Yuling Chef!
"Yes, we will choose Wensi Tofu."
Qin Lang rubbed Danbao's head and smiled.
It’s really another village where everything is bright and clear.
The main ingredient of Wensi Tofu is tofu, with a little shredded vegetables as a decoration.
For garnished vegetable shreds, you can use carrots and rapeseed from the No. 97 ingredient library.
As for Wensi Tofu soup, it is divided into poor version, regular version and deluxe version.
The poorer version is to directly use seasonings to make clear soup and use it to cook Wensi tofu.
The regular version uses a whole chicken to make chicken broth, which naturally enhances the taste.
As for the deluxe version, the ingredients added inside are more expensive and complex.
The chicken legs in the No. 97 ingredient library can be used to make soup. You can also mince the pork hind leg meat into mince to remove the turbidity in the soup, thereby getting a good chicken clear soup.
In this way, the special ingredient rosemary in the ingredient library has no use at all.
But the rules do not stipulate that special ingredients must be used.
No matter from any angle, it is appropriate to use Wensi Tofu to complete the elimination round.
Thinking of the suspicious expressions of the three of them, Qin Lang couldn't help but have a bit of a bad smile on his face.
He was somewhat looking forward to what kind of expressions they would show when Wensi Tofu appeared.
"We'll start practicing now."
"Gudu!"
Danbao cheered and followed.
…
As time passed, another three days passed.
On the fifth day after the end of the first round of the municipal cooking competition, the second round of elimination kicked off in the Dongxia Arena.
"ladies and gentlemen!"
On a familiar venue, a familiar host holds a microphone, and his voice echoes over the arena.
"Welcome to Dongxia Arena!"
"Today, the second round of Dongxia City's cooking competition will be held here!"
"Four one-on-one battles will determine the top four in this event!"
"The winners advance, the losers are eliminated."
"The brutal elimination round is about to begin!"
"First of all, let us give the warmest applause to welcome the eleven judges of this round of eliminations and the eleven first-level food recommenders in Dongxia City!"
Amid thunderous cheers and applause in the venue, the eleven diners stood up and waved around.
"Then, let us use the same warm applause to welcome the eight contestants here today!"
Qin Lang withdrew his eyes from the three familiar figures among the diners, and waved in the direction of the audience in response to the applause and cheers.
He could hear the crowd chanting his name, much louder than during the first scoring round.
The eight players have been in intensive preparation in the past few days, and as the number of clicks on the replay video of the first round of the rating competition continues to rise, this event has also attracted greater attention.
In the scoring competition, Qin Lang, who surprised the judges with his vegetarian braised pork dish and was rated second, inevitably received a lot of attention.
It's just that he doesn't get the most attention.
Qin Lang's light was concealed by the storm caused by Lei Ke.
As Lake suddenly won the first place in the rating competition, his record of winning the championship in the Danju City cooking competition was finally discovered by someone who was interested.
As a result, Lake has gone from an outsider who received no attention to the most promising player to win the championship.
In order to get more food recommender badges, it is very common for Yu Lingchu to participate in competitions in different cities, so people will not hold any prejudice against Lake because he is not a local.
Lake's record also put great pressure on the seven players, including Qin Lang.
After some warm-up by the host, the first elimination round began quickly.
Zhu Ming, who was rated fourth, vs. Qiang Xiaofeng, who was rated sixth.
The competition event between the two is limited to ingredients with a value of less than 2,000 yuan.
Today's warm-up performance is not a spiritual battle, but a famous song and dance troupe from Tianhua Prefecture who has been invited to bring a wonderful performance to the audience.
At the end of the performance, Zhu Ming walked out of the kitchen first, followed closely by Qiang Xiaofeng, presenting their carefully prepared dishes to the eleven diners.
In the final review result, Zhu Ming won with eight votes, and Qiang Xiaofeng left the stage lonely.
As the first knockout round ended, the atmosphere in the contestant viewing area, which had been slightly relieved due to the song and dance troupe's performance, became tense again.
Lake walked out calmly and took the stage step by step.
Xiao He, who was rated eighth, had a bitter look on his face.
The competition event between the two is a restricted food subject, fish.
The cooking of fish dishes is not what Xiao He is good at.
Faced with Lake, who ranked first in the rating competition and was the champion of the Danju City cooking competition, he had no chance of winning.
But in the end there is still a competition.
Xiao He rubbed his face hard to make his expression as relaxed as possible, and then walked quickly to the entrance channel for the contestants.
The results of the second round of judging were not in suspense.
Lake used three different fish ingredients to represent the sky, mountains and rivers in different cooking methods, and cooked a creative dish called "Mountains, Rivers, Clouds and Sky", which won 11 votes.
As Xiao He left the competition venue in despair without getting a single vote, Lake once again imprinted his devil-like cooking skills on the hearts of everyone present.
What follows is the third knockout round.
Qin Lang vs Zhang Chen.
