Chapter 500 Substitution

After the staff finished reading the contents of the hand cards, they explained the three rules again in a simple way. After the explanation, the contestants who seemed to have not reacted since just now still looked stunned, and the venue was silent for a while.

"The changes to the competition format are partly due to the fact that the dishes that Teacher Nan Rongquan proposed to teach you are of extremely high quality, and he personally demonstrated them throughout the entire process without holding back. The program team, taking into account Teacher Nan Rongquan's health, wanted to minimize his working hours to conserve his energy."

On the one hand, the competition system for the next two points races has been improved after overnight discussions by the program team. It is sufficient to assess and select outstanding talents, and is also sufficient to demonstrate personal abilities while collaborating in a team.

"So we hope everyone can understand the temporary change in the competition system and the decision of the production team. At the same time, if any contestants have any questions or objections, they can raise them now, and the production team will try their best to consider everyone's requests." The staff explained again.

"Teacher Nan...is he really willing to teach us the unique dish he researched?" A contestant raised his hand cautiously and asked.

"Yes. This decision was made by Mr. Nan Rongquan himself. He is already in his eighties. In recent years, he has been committed to breaking down prejudices and cultivating a new generation of outstanding chefs. So he hopes to show this lost dish to the best young chefs while he still has the strength. As for how much they can learn and understand, it depends on their personal abilities." The staff member replied.

"Then, which dish will Teacher Nan teach us?" one of the contestants asked hesitantly.

"You'll know when you're in the top three in the qualifying round." The staff member smiled and dismissed the question.

"Then, Mr. Nan, how many days or how many times will you teach?"

"You'll know when you reach the top three in the promotion competition."

"Those who didn't make the top three, do they really have a chance to study with us? Are there any hard requirements?"

"Yes, indeed. This was also proposed by Teacher Nan himself. Teaching once is not easy, so one or two contestants outside the top three can follow along. As for the hard requirements, first of all, Teacher Nan must like it and give his approval.

Are you all asking about Teacher Nan's teaching? Do you have any questions about our rule adjustments? "The staff member replied with a rather helpless smile.

The audience did not ask any more questions and started a small discussion.

Wen Xinyuan let out a long sigh. "The old man is famous for his patience and method in teaching his apprentices. No matter how many times he teaches this dish, even if it's only once, being able to learn a lost famous dish is a win-win situation."

“I don’t think I can learn it. No matter whether it’s unique dishes, famous dishes, inherited dishes, or state banquet dishes, each one of them requires watching it thirty or fifty times, practicing it hundreds or thousands of times, and then spending several years to figure it out slowly. But the old man obviously doesn’t have that kind of energy. Even if he did, the program crew wouldn’t have the time. But after all, these are dishes that the old man has spent decades researching. Even if you watch them once, there must be some benefit. You’ll have to squeeze into the top three even if you break your head.” The fat man clenched his fists and was also inspired to fight.

"Although there is a high probability that I won't be able to learn it, Teacher Nan's spirit and mind are really beyond the reach of ordinary people. These days, who would keep a secret of a unique skill? Even a master has to hold back when teaching an apprentice, but Teacher Nan can take the initiative to break through the barriers and show his unique skills to other chefs who have no connection with him." Zhao Xiaojing sighed, supporting her elbow.

These words moved the four of them, and Guan Yingxia was even more silent and stunned.

After a brief discussion on the field, a staff member took the microphone again to confirm, "One last question, everyone. Do you have any questions or objections regarding our rule adjustments? If not, we will enter the preparation phase for the second points race."

"Teacher Nan is so old, yet he is willing to teach us his unique skills. It's just one less game. It's so uncultured to care about such trivial matters." A player on the field said first.

"That's right. I will look down on anyone who ruins Teacher Nan's good intentions." Another contestant next to him responded.

The two of them sang in unison, and actually squeezed out the contestants who had objections in advance. Now, even if someone had an objection, they couldn't speak up.

The staff member smiled and said, "In that case, let's move on to the next item. Now, please have the captains of the five teams step out and stand next to me."

"Again." The fat man stood up helplessly, and Wen Xinyuan followed.

"Okay, now I have five pieces of cardboard in my hand. Please ask the five captains to write down the person they most want to kick out of their team, and the person they most want to invite into another team." As the staff member said, he gave each of the five people a piece of cardboard and a pen.

"Do you want to change people?" Mao Tingxiu, who was receiving the card, was stunned.

"Yes, regarding substitutions, I suggest you consider it from the team's perspective, rather than from personal preferences and the team members' reputation. Replacing those who don't fit the team's tone can improve team cohesion." The staff member replied.

The fat man's expression became visibly excited.

Zhao Xiaojing, who was sitting in the audience, also smiled. Now she could kick Gu Yanghui out, separating the two of them without having to worry about them doing anything else.

This rule is good!

"Please note that to prevent duplicate names between teams, please write both names in the order of first and second. If there are duplicates or cancellations, the first contestant to submit their cards will have priority. The last contestant to submit their cards will be ranked second.

Now, the captain who has thought of the names can start writing the list."

The fat man and Yu Yiyuan started writing immediately. The fat man was extroverted and had obvious arrogance, while Yu Yiyuan was introverted and just raised his eyebrows slightly, but he wrote his name no slower than the fat man.

At this stage, the original advantages and disadvantages began to reverse.

In contrast to the leisurely and contented appearance of the fat man Yu Yiyuan and the other two were the captains of the other three teams, who looked embarrassed and racked their brains.

There were no major conflicts within the other three teams, so when faced with being kicked, they were naturally not as relaxed as the team led by Fatty and Yu Yiyuan, which had already openly fallen out. Even after Fatty and Yu Yiyuan finished writing their cue cards, the three of them were still standing there with a look of deep resentment on their faces, not knowing where to start.

After the fat man happily handed the cue card to the staff, he gave Wen Xinyuan a high-profile evil smile, and then made an OK gesture to Zhao Xiaojing and Guan Yingxia who were sitting there.

Zhao Xiaojing laughed. It seemed that he was trying to poach Wen Xinyuan and take Sister Xia away.

Just as he was about to whisper to Guan Yingxia, he felt a gaze staring straight at him from the stage.
