Life is a Game

The venue for the qualifiers was still in the suburbs, but it was better than the audition venue. It was not in the open air, but in a warehouse. Due to the size of the warehouse, the qualifiers consisted of groups of 50 people. Nearly 3,000 players were divided into 60 groups. The last group consisted of 27 people. Jiang Feng was in the last group, still number 13.

Because there are only 27 cooking stations, the warehouse seems to be a bit empty, with dust floating in the air, and those with a sensitive sense of smell can still smell the faint odor left over from the previous batch of goods.

The contestants arrived quite early, no one was absent, and the staff of the organizer announced the competition rules of the qualifiers in advance when everyone was present.

"Dear contestants, there are ten public judges and one professional food critic in each group of this round of qualifiers. The food critic in this group is Professor Ye Shi from the Department of Architecture of Kyoto University. Another identity of Professor Ye is " Specially invited commentator of Zhiwei magazine. The public judges will taste and score in order of completion. The scoring standard is the three brands in my hand. Red means excellent, yellow means pass, and green means dissatisfaction. Professor Ye will taste and score the dishes with the above red brands, and the final ranking will be based on Professor Ye's scores."

"The ingredients for this competition have been seen by everyone. The theme is not limited, so all the ingredients on the table can be used. Due to the small number of participants in this group, only one contestant can advance to the second round of qualifiers. This round of competition There is no time limit, only one dish, and there are still 7 minutes before the start of the game, if you have any questions, you can ask them now." The staff held a loudspeaker and smiled.

"It's too unfair that only one of our group of twenty-seven can advance!" The girl in the first row expressed the feelings of most of the people present.

"For this contestant, the promotion quota is calculated according to the proportion of participants in each competition area. The promotion rate of the first round of qualifiers in this competition area is 4%, and only two people can advance each other in other competitions." The staff said.

There was an uproar in the audience.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little tense.

Those present, whether by luck or strength, have passed the audition. The audition only eliminates 50% of the contestants. Whoever wants to directly eliminate 98% of the contestants in the first round of preliminaries, even knowing that after several rounds of preliminaries It is the top 32 in the country, most of them cannot escape the fate of being eliminated after all, but they did not expect the elimination to come so quickly.

"Do you have any questions, players?" the staff asked.

"Ten public judges have to taste 27 dishes. If the appetite is a little bit smaller, won't you be full after tasting it?" asked a boy wearing glasses in the middle.

"That's right. This contestant is right. This qualifier will not only test your cooking skills, but also your speed." The staff member said, "Any questions?"

The audience was silent.

"There are still five minutes, and the competition will officially start in five minutes. All contestants, please do not start in advance, or you will be disqualified." After the staff finished speaking, they put down the loudspeaker.

Jiang Feng was a little flustered.

In fact, his psychological quality is not bad, but the atmosphere in this game is a bit dignified, and it is luck to only get the top 4% in this kind of group competition. If a group is full of rookies, that rookie will be lucky. If a group is full of bosses, the competition will definitely be as fierce as the Shura field.

But how to say...

Luck is also part of strength.

Jiang Feng looked at the ingredients provided by the organizer.

One eggplant, two eggs, one loofah, three pieces of white tofu and a handful of long beans. The seasoning and ingredients are all available, including onion, ginger, garlic, and even a small basket of coriander.

Coriander is absolutely unusable, and green onion, ginger, and garlic cannot be minced. The public judges are ordinary people. If you encounter one or two taboos, you will be given a green card warning.

Just as Jiang Feng was thinking about what to cook that would be quick and popular with the public, the staff picked up the loudspeaker again.

"Game start."

In the blink of an eye, a dish appeared in Jiang Feng's mind.

If you want to do it, you have to do what you are familiar with.

Eggplant with beans!

As a native plant in Huaguo, eggplant plays an important role among vegetables, as can be seen from its price tag in university canteens.

Eggplant is a flower meat!

After the vegetables were washed, Jiang Feng picked the beans, cut the eggplant into strips, and cut the garlic into cubes. Minced garlic is actually better for sautéing, but Jiang Feng had a taboo, so he cut it into pieces to avoid eating it by mistake.

With skilled knife skills, the processing speed of the ingredients is naturally fast. Jiang Feng has processed all the ingredients, and the oil is all in the pot. Most people are still thinking about what to do.

The oil was heated until it was hot, and the eggplants were poured in. Jiang Feng kept turning the eggplants in the oil pan with chopsticks, not daring to slack off at all. While turning over the eggplant, someone raised his hand to signal that he was done.

The man's position was right in front of Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng took a look and saw fried eggs with shallots.

Jiang Feng: ...

After all, you're such a clever little ghost.

Jiang Feng was even a little annoyed that he didn't think of scallion fried eggs. This dish is not only easy to make, but also delicious when cooked well. Even those who don't like scallions can eat it.

There was no turning back when he opened the bow. The first thing to do was to be clever, and the second was to follow suit. Jiang Feng continued to care about the eggplants in the pot, waiting for the surface of the eggplants to become golden and soft, and then quickly remove and drain the oil. Leave the fire off, pour in the beans and continue frying. The fried beans will not only be more fragrant and taste better, but also easier to taste when frying.

After the beans are fried, it’s time for the main event. Leave the oil in the pot to heat up, and the garlic will be fragrant. Pour the eggplant and beans into the pot at the same time and stir fry on high heat. Keep turning the spoon, then add salt, sugar and other seasonings, and finally add some During the soy sauce, Jiang Feng kept turning the spoon and the pot to heat the beans and eggplant evenly, so that they would be more flavorful.

The dish is ready and out of the pan.

Because of being deep-fried once, the skin of the beans looks wrinkled, shiny and very tender. The outer skin of the eggplant is dark purple, also shiny, the flesh of the eggplant is light yellow, all the sauce has been absorbed by the eggplant and beans, and the plate is very clean.

Jiang Feng quickly placed the lower plate, buried the eggplant under the beans, and raised a small bag. The dark purple skin and light yellow eggplant flesh were looming. Although it didn't achieve the effect that Jiang Feng wanted to hold the pipa and half cover his face, it was not bad. Put two coriander sticks on the upper right corner of the plate as a decoration, and Jiang Feng raised his hand to indicate that he was done.

The judges sat at the front, and the staff brought the dishes and told him that he could go to the rest area and wait.

The rest area was a small cubicle in the warehouse with more than a dozen chairs. When Jiang Feng entered, there were only 3 people in it.

One girl and two boys, one of them is a little clever ghost who makes scallion omelette.

"I finished it fourth?" Jiang Feng couldn't believe it.

"Brother, you are overthinking. You are the seventeenth. The ones in front of you didn't even get eight red cards, and they didn't even get any points. There must be no way to advance, so let's go first." Another boy wearing glasses said.

"You three have the same score?" Jiang Feng asked.

"That's not true. That girl and I both got eight red cards. This guy is amazing. Scallion Fried Egg actually got nine red cards. The score hasn't come out yet. The organizer has to wait until the end to announce the score." Dai The boy with glasses said, "By the way, my name is Zhang Luyu, I'm a senior. I think you're about the same age as me. Which university did you go to?"

"I'm also from a major, Jiang Feng." Jiang Feng said.

When I met an alumni, I naturally talked a lot, and Zhang Luyu was restless and eloquent, so she revealed her family fortune in a few words. Sophomore, majoring in animation, native of Hebei, usually cooks at home, this time I was lucky to make steamed eggs and got 8 red cards, I didn't expect to be promoted, I just wanted to see that Professor Ye How many points can I give myself.

At that time, the other two hadn't said a word since Jiang Feng came in, they were very cold.

The two were chatting when the staff came in.

"Who is No. 13 contestant Jiang Feng?"

Jiang Feng raised his hand.

"Congratulations, ten red cards, we will announce the professional review scores at the end, please be patient." The staff said.

"Awesome, brother, you're going to be amazing!" Zhang Luyu couldn't hold back for a while and burst into a rude sentence.
