Chapter 165 Watching the Game
November 11th is the deadline for registration. From this day onwards, the Culinary Association will review and select applicants.
After three days of review and selection, the shortlisted chefs will be sent a message of the competition time.
Of course, chefs who are not shortlisted will also be notified, and the registration fee will be refunded by the original route.
This is the cost of registration. If it is the chef's own problem, there will be no refund. This is because it has not passed the review of the association. Of course, it is not the problem of the chef himself, and a refund will be made.
There are many possibilities of not passing.
For example, the information in the competition is wrong, there are concealment or false information reported, and other situations. Anyway, there will be some problems with chefs every year.
There may also be cases where the Association gets it wrong.
Therefore, if you receive the news that it has not passed, you can apply for re-examination by the association if you are sure that there are no problems.
If you pass the review, you can continue to participate in the competition. Unfortunately, if you fail the review, you can only wait for three years.
Therefore, every time you sign up, the staff will check it carefully.
And a registration form will be given.
This registration form not only has the function of admission, but also allows you to go home and take a look.
You can also check the registration information uploaded by yourself on the official website of the association. If you have any questions, you can ask them yourself to avoid problems later.
In short, all possible ways to avoid it have been taken out.
If this can all go wrong because of information, there is nothing we can do about it.
This is a chef that didn't pass muster.
If you pass, you will receive a message of passing and the time for the competition.
The number of chefs who signed up at one time was probably more than 300 or 400.
The competition venue of Jincheng Cuisine Association supports ten people to compete at the same time.
Each person is three courses, two hot and one cold.
Cooking needs to start with the preparation of raw materials. Unlike Xu Yang who can start cooking directly in a restaurant, the raw materials are prepared, so it will take more time.
And it's a race, it's not going to be done fast like in a restaurant.
Generally speaking, the time spent may range from four to 10 minutes to an hour.
Because the competition will stipulate the time for participating.
If it is not stipulated, it will definitely not work if it is consumed all the time.
In previous years, it was basically based on one hour.
In fact, the time must be about the same.
An hour is a game for a dozen or so individuals, starting at [-]:[-] in the morning and ending at [-]:[-] in the evening. The game lasts for about ten hours a day.
So it is very difficult to end every day of the game.
Xu Yang learned from Song Yi that it took more than 400 people a week to finish the competition last year.
Therefore, each chef will be allocated different competition time according to the order of registration.
And now I just need to wait slowly.
On November 11, the second day of the review, Xu Yang received a call.
"Hello."
"Hello."
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Xu Yang?"
Seeing that it was Jincheng City's phone number and saying his name, Xu Yang had already guessed who it was.
"Yes, I am Xu Yang."
"Hi, Mr. Xu, I am from the Jincheng Cuisine Association. Congratulations, your registration information for the Golden Shovel Contest has been approved."
Hearing the news that the registration was passed, Xu Yang knew that there would be no problems.
"Thank you. It's great to be able to pass. I would like to ask when my competition time is."
The female voice on the other end of the phone said again: "Please submit the raw materials needed for the three dishes, two hot dishes and one cold dish, to the competition group of the Golden Shovel Cooking Competition before November 11th." , after receiving your information and submitting, we will prepare two raw materials for you to use in your competition, and then your competition time is November 27th, please bring your identification form and identity information to the Jincheng Cuisine Association for the competition at that time, the competition time It depends on the situation of the day.”
"It means that you provide the ingredients for the dishes, right?"
Xu Yang was surprised.
Song Yi didn't tell him about this, and the staff didn't explain it either.
The other end of the phone continued: "Yes, in order to prevent the problems caused by raw materials in previous years, this year's competition has been changed to provide us with raw materials for dishes."
"Okay, I see, I must compete on time."
"Okay, let's not bother you now, I wish you a happy life."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yang felt even better.
Now all he needs to do is prepare for the game with peace of mind.
He has already thought about the dishes he wants to compete in.
The cold dish originally wanted to use husband and wife lung slices, but the stipulated time is only one hour, so there is definitely no way to get this dish out.
In the end, I could only choose the simpler cold cucumber.
He had thought about it, it was just a competition in the city, and directly bringing out his best dishes was equivalent to showing his strength in advance, so it must not work.
According to this calculation, Xu Yang felt that his game time should be relatively late, so there was no need to be so anxious.
But Xu Yang also thought of one thing.
According to the information obtained from Song Yi, there will still be a certain percentage of points on this every year.
If the ingredients of their dishes are used now, will the points in this aspect be reduced and allocated to other items? If so, it will still be of great benefit to Xu Yang.
The specific situation will not be known until the official game.
Ten minutes later, Xu Yang received a call from Wang Dongjie.
Once connected, he said, "Xu Yang, has your registration passed?"
"Passed, I received a call 10 minutes ago, telling me to go to the competition then."
"That's fine. Gao Yi and I have also passed the registration review, and our competition time is on the 29th."
Hearing the time of the two of them, Xu Yang said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I participated in the competition on the 29th just like you."
The registration time of the three people is very close, so the allocation time is also very close.
Another reason is that they signed up relatively late, and there were a lot of people who signed up earlier, so the latter ones might all be allocated together.
The official competition started on the 23rd, and it was already the seventh day by their 29th. According to last year's time, it was equivalent to the last day of the competition.
Then the people who signed up after Xu Yang will probably be together. It is normal for the two of them to be together.
"That's good. We also said what should we do if we don't meet you. Now that the competition is on the same day, we can feel more at ease."
It can be heard that Wang Dongjie is still very happy to be able to compete on the same day.
"See you at the culinary association competition venue then."
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yang naturally started to prepare for the competition.
There is also a certain benefit to registering late. You can compete last, and then you can take a look at the competition of the previous players.
One more thing, and that is to tell your guests that you are going to a game.
In the first two rounds, they are not expected to go to the game, but in the third round, they can watch it on the Internet and in front of the TV. It is good to have their support at that time.
Xu Yang also guessed that he might not use the saved reputation until the final match.
This must be very good news for him.
Just let us know a day or two in advance about this matter, so don't be so anxious.
For the next few days, Xu Yang was in a very good mood.
Even the diners felt Xu Yang's mood.
There are always curious people asking: "Master Xu, why are you so happy? Every time I pass by here from the past two days, the smile on your face can't be stopped."
Xu Yang had some impressions of the person in front of him. He was a customer who often came to eat. He smiled and said, "It's a very good thing for me, so I'm so happy."
"Can you share it with us? We also want to know what kind of good things it is. After all, good things must be shared with more people to make them happier."
His words made sense, but Xu Yang shook his head.
"I can't tell you yet, maybe in these two days, I will post it in the circle of friends and at the door of the hotel, and everyone will know what it is."
After hearing Xu Yang's words, many people didn't continue to ask questions, they just looked forward to knowing the specific things earlier.
November 11th was the fourth day of the competition. Xu Yang decided to take advantage of his spare time in the afternoon and go to the competition place to have a look.
It ends at 2:2 p.m., and it's not very far from the Culinary Association, so it will be around [-]:[-] p.m.
Seeing that it takes 4 hours to come back at 2:[-], it is completely enough.
After the score is scored, it will be announced directly on the spot, so of course the participants will know their results.
It is also to prevent the score from being changed in private.
The scores are announced on the spot, and any doubts can be raised on the spot, so as to avoid score errors to a large extent.
This kind of situation happened before, and in the end the trouble became bigger and bigger, and the trouble reached the top association, and finally came up with the simplest solution after discussion.
Anyway, the same situation has never happened again in the past few sessions.
The bad thing is that the scores will be directly entered into the system after they are released, so that everyone can see everyone's scores in real time, and know immediately when they are squeezed out.
The advantage is that it can save time and not wait for a long time.
No matter what kind of announcement it is, it doesn't have a great impact on Xu Yang.
He had been busy all morning, and in the afternoon Xu Yang went to the association's place with his things.
He had made an appointment in advance to see it on site, so he could go in directly. He only needed to show his reservation information.
At the destination, after Xu Yang showed his appointment information, the staff handed over a badge and said: "Wear it inside, if you don't wear it, you will be kicked out directly."
"Okay, I know."
As a result, Xu Yang put it on directly, probably because he was worried that someone who hadn't made an appointment would run in, and if it caused trouble, he could find out the source as soon as possible.
Xu Yang saw the number marked on it, which was the same as the number given when making the appointment.
Because real-name authentication is required to make an appointment, you can know who it is very quickly.
After entering, Xu Yang came to the scene of watching the game along the viewing channel. I have to say that the overall performance is very good.
You can't see the inside here, but you can see the final comments and scoring links, and you can also see the specific situation of the dishes.
Of course the most exciting thing is the cooking process.
Although you can't directly see the inside, there are several large screens outside, which can be seen directly at the cooking place, which means that you can clearly see the chefs' cooking process at one time.
In addition to allowing the audience to watch the game well, it also has the effect of supervising the chefs.
It can prevent some illegal operations during the cooking process, so many people will always be able to find the problem.
What I have to say is that the game is very thoughtful, basically there will be no problems.
Xu Yang felt a lot more relaxed now.
Soon with the order of support, the first batch of ten chefs started cooking.
Xu Yang browsed through the videos of all ten masters, and finally stopped in front of Master No. [-].
This master has already entered the stage of cutting vegetables. It can be seen from his knife skills that he is very strong. Not only is his technique skillful, but the vegetables he cut are evenly sized.
It looks simple, but it is difficult for ordinary people to do this step.
After cutting the vegetables quickly, he started to prepare other seasonings. When they are ready, you can start cooking.
The contestants here are basically masters of Sichuan cuisine, so the dish he will cook is the familiar twice-cooked pork.
After getting ready, I saw the master started cooking.
There was nothing wrong with the whole process.
Whether it is the control of the heat or the cooking time, the seasoning and the order in which the dishes are placed in the pot are very particular.
Xu Yang can already be sure that the score of this dish will definitely be very high.
After cooking, according to his own judgment, Xu Yang felt that the score of this dish should be around 85 points.
This is mainly because Song Yi said that the scores given in the first round will be relatively high, but Xu Yang thinks that this score should not be a problem.
Soon after it was out of the pot, under the supervision of the supervisor, the dish was served in front of several judges.
Each person will only taste one bite, two at most.
First, because tasting too much will affect the judgment of subsequent dishes, I dare not eat too much, and one bite can already give a score. After all, taste only accounts for part of the score.
The second is because there are a lot of people participating in the competition. If you eat too much in the front, it will definitely affect the appetite in the back, and generally you will not eat too much.
Anyway, from the morning until 12:13 noon is a break, and then the game will continue from [-]:[-] in the afternoon.
Evening hours are from five to six in the afternoon.
The masters participating in the competition can eat before the competition and rest after the competition.
And the judges have been tasting all the time, so don't worry.
And the audience can't sit without eating, so this is the reason for having a rest.
After the dishes are brought out, the judges first have to take a look at the condition of the dishes before continuing to taste them.
There are a total of five judges, who tasted it one by one and began to give their own scores.
After the last five scores were announced, the host announced that one of the highest scores and one of the lowest scores would be removed, and then the average score of the remaining three.
This is also to prevent someone from deliberately giving a high score, or deliberately giving a low score.
In this way, the correctness of the score can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
The scores will be counted soon.
Sure enough, it was similar to Xu Yang's guess. The final score was 86 points, which was one point higher than the guessed score.
