Mengya didn't know at this time that she had gained a new little fan.
She was congratulating herself on her good performance in chopping vegetables and getting a seat upstairs.
The judges have just announced that in the next elimination round, the 90 contestants who failed to advance will be divided into groups of 10 and need to create a hearty brunch within 40 minutes, which must include a main course, salad, and dessert, which means they need to create three dishes.
Upon hearing this, Mengya was immediately very glad that she had the opportunity to advance. She knew that her weakness was in the team competition, so she was very glad to avoid this.
"From now on, you will be free to form teams. Choose your team as soon as possible and stand together."
As soon as the judges shouted "free team formation", the contestants went wild.
Some players with strong leadership skills shouted directly, "I'm going to make a Western breakfast! Anyone who wants a Western breakfast can come over here!"
"Hi...Qi Fei, do you want to join our group?" The uncle with a flat head began to recruit people and invite the contestants he liked.
A hot beauty in a leopard print top and ten-centimeter high heels squeezed over and said, "Follow me and I'll make it to the finals!"
Her fluttering false eyelashes were almost poking Feiyan's face.
Some people even recommend themselves, saying, "I used to be a kitchen helper and am good at teamwork."
"One minute left!" The judges' reminder was like cold water poured into a hot oil pan.
The contestant whose fingers were bleeding while cutting vegetables looked around and tried to join a team, but was unexpectedly rejected.
"You dripped blood into the food last time, who would dare to eat it?"
At this time, the judges shouted, "Each team must gather 10 people, otherwise they will be disqualified!"
Hearing the judges' calls, the unfavored or rejected contestants looked at each other and formed teams.
The situation reversed in an instant. Elizabeth's group, which had been picky, could no longer gather anyone. Seeing this, Elizabeth immediately abandoned her original group and turned to join the team of players she was more optimistic about.
When the countdown was about to reach zero, one group was still short of two people.
The red-haired girl grabbed the passing cameraman and said, "Brother, please join us!"
The judges were so angry that they shouted, "Hey! That's a staff member!"
There was no choice. The eight people could only stare at the team with two more people, but no one there was willing to come out.
The judges began the countdown, "Team countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
"According to your teams! Stand apart!"
At the last moment of returning to zero, one person came out reluctantly and joined the team of eight people, and another person was forcibly pushed out.
The player who was pushed out rolled his eyes fiercely at the people behind him and walked towards the team that was short of people with anger.
The referees looked at the nine teams below. No matter how the contestants had made a fuss before, no one dared to risk being eliminated, so teams of 10 people were finally successfully formed.
"Next, you will have 5 minutes to discuss and 5 minutes to go into the food room to get the ingredients."
"Then you'll have 40 minutes to prepare the dishes. Remember, you need to prepare a main course, a salad, and a dessert. These three dishes will determine whether you'll be eliminated, so please bring your best. You need to prepare three servings of each dish, and we'll taste them at the end."
"The 5-minute countdown starts now!"
After the judges made their announcement, the contestants immediately started discussing. When forming teams, everyone had more or less discussed what they were going to do, so each group had almost an idea.
Group 1 took the Western brunch route.
"Shall we make bacon and eggs and muffins with berry jam?"
"I agree. I can make berry jam. I have my grandmother's recipe."
"Salad, shall we make roasted pumpkin salad?"
"What for dessert? Soufflé?"
"Or maybe a lighter lemon sorbet?"
"Lemon cheesecake, too?"
. . . . . .
Group 2 is in Chinese style.
"Let's make porridge for the main course! Clay pot porridge!"
"Sweet or savory? If it's sweet, you can make Meiling porridge."
"Salty porridge, classic preserved egg and lean pork porridge."
"Preserved egg and lean pork porridge, after all, we still have to make dessert."
"How about a big salad?"
"Hmm, what about dessert?"
"I can make yam and date paste cake."
"That's fine! But is 40 minutes enough?"
. . . . . .
Group three is preparing to go Japanese style.
"For the main course, we can make rice balls with three flavors."
"Okay, what three flavors would you like?"
"Tuna, prunes, salmon?"
"Don't use two types of fish. And why choose canned tuna when you have fresh ingredients? Replace the tuna with beef."
"But the salad was originally planned to be a tofu and beef salad, isn't that a bit of a conflict?"
"Well, how about making it into a soft-boiled egg rice ball? That way it will burst."
"That's a great idea! Soft-boiled eggs are also very interesting!"
"Salad, let's make tofu salad."
"Then let's choose Dorayaki for dessert."
. . . . . .
Group 4 was going for a Western style, but the first thing they decided on was how to divide the work.
"We'll split into groups of three, each responsible for preparing different main dishes, salads, and desserts. The remaining person will be responsible for helping to process the ingredients and reminding the remaining time."
"This way, when we enter the vegetable room, the main course team, salad team, and dessert team will each go and get the ingredients they need."
