Chapter 502 Opposite Rules
The number of people in Fatty's team, Wen Xinyuan's team and Yu Yiyuan's team has reached a balance. The next ones to cut in line are naturally Mao Tingxiu and Luo Junlang's team. At the beginning, the contestants were very worried about whether there would be any major changes in their team. When Wen Xinyuan's bold move came out, the whole audience just laughed at Fatty, and didn't even listen carefully when the staff read out the last candidate to cut in line.
With this change, Wen Xinyuan naturally became the captain of the Fatty's team and continued to be in the same group with Guan Yingxia, while the Fatty became the captain of Wen Xinyuan's team. Zhao Xiaojing joined Yu Yiyuan's team and had to continue to be in the same team with Gu Yanghui.
The fat man bowed sadly to Zhao Xiaojing on the stage, and it was obvious that he apologized for letting her down and making her be in the same group with Gu Yanghui again. Zhao Xiaojing smiled and shook her head, feeling that compared to her, the fat man was the worst off.
After reorganizing the team, the staff immediately announced the new rules.
If the rule of the first game is that the more you do, the better and the higher the score, then this game is the exact opposite.
The rule of this game is to focus on the minority.
How low is it? Ten people start with ten dishes. They get 10 points for ten dishes, 20 points for nine dishes, 30 points for eight dishes, and so on until there are four dishes. But when it comes to three dishes or less, the scores are directly given as 100 for three dishes, 150 for two dishes, and 200 for one dish.
There are also bonus points for dishes within three courses. The more people participate in each dish, the more points you get.
When making three dishes, if all 10 people participate, 10 points will be added; if 9 people participate, 9 points will be added; if 8 people participate, 8 points will be added, and so on until there are five people. No additional points will be awarded for less than five people. If two dishes are made, the points will be doubled on this basis, and if one dish is made, the points will be tripled.
"The rule is that the ten of you can only cook one dish, otherwise you lose." Wen Xinyuan said leisurely, crossing his legs.
Fatty and Wen Xinyuan had returned to their seats. After a round of quarreling, they separated and sat next to Zhao Xiaojing and Guan Yingxia respectively.
"That's not necessarily true. If you don't cook a dish well, you will lose. This is just the rule for adding points based on the number of people. The other rules haven't been mentioned yet." The fat man saw that Wen Xinyuan's nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes. Wen Xinyuan immediately started to argue after he finished speaking.
Wen Xinyuan was in high spirits after having tricked the fat man once, so he smiled and agreed, "You're right."
Sure enough, the staff immediately started explaining the remaining rules.
"Now that we've covered the bonus rules, let's move on to the deduction rules. Regardless of how many dishes each team prepares, the deduction rules are the same. First, regardless of how many people are cooking, the level of participation in each dish must be similar. If there's obvious adulteration, points will be deducted. If one person cheats, 10% of the dish's score will be deducted. If two people cheat, 20%, and so on. For example, if one person cooks the soup or a dish, and the others take turns watching the fire without touching anything, and can't affect the dish's quality, then it counts as adulteration.
Secondly, in addition to deducting points for water content, our judges also have the right to deduct points from each team's basic score, depending on the team's overall performance, the quality of the dish, etc.
Finally, in addition to the overall team score after the dish is finished, our mentors will score each contestant individually. The scoring is not transparent. The individual score will only be known after the team score is announced and the score is determined internally. Of course, this individual score is definitely linked to the individual's contribution to the dish and the mentor's taste of the individual's contribution to the dish. For example, if a dish is seasoned by one person throughout the entire process and the mentor thinks the flavor is well-seasoned, the seasoning will be counted in the individual's score. Or, for example, if a dish contains radish, cabbage, and bean sprouts, all prepared by different contestants, but the mentor thinks the bean sprouts are unpalatable, then the score will also be attributed to the person who prepared the bean sprouts. Of course, there is a big premise here, that is, the mentor can taste the part you made. If the mentor can't taste it at all and has no impression of you personally, then the score for that part will be lower.
Finally, the team that takes first place will receive five points for each member, and the team that takes last place will have five points deducted from each member."
The staff member finished speaking with a smile, but the smiles of the contestants below gradually froze.
"Are these rules really not in conflict?"
"Who came up with this rule? If you can't cook one dish for ten people to fully express their own taste, then you might as well not cook at all! It's all in vain!"
"Why don't we just mix the salad? Ten people, each dealing with a different type of vegetable. Once the salad dressing is poured on, everyone will taste the same. We won't get any points anyway!"
The wailing and collapse seemed predictable. The host calmly raised his right hand, glanced at the watch, and turned up the volume of his microphone. "It's 8:46 AM Beijing time now. The competition starts now. Teams that are ready can gather down and follow the staff to their dedicated offices. The cooking session will take place in their respective areas later. The competition ends at 5 PM. Everyone still has time, so please feel free to chat."
The contestants' voices, which had been simmering with emotion, died in their throats. Yu Yiyuan took the lead, quickly walking down to the front of the stage. The remaining contestants scurried to form their respective teams.
Yu Yiyuan's team quickly assembled and was taken to a small hall by the staff. On the left side of the hall were ten tables that had been set up for the previous competition, and on the right side was a round table surrounded by a circle of chairs, which looked like the layout of a round table meeting.
"Let's discuss it first. We'll have a meeting in five minutes to discuss it. Now I need to communicate with the new deputy captain." After bringing everyone in, the staff briefly explained the dishes and ingredients and left the space for ten people. Everyone was waiting for Yu Yiyuan's arrangements, but Yu Yiyuan called Zhao Xiaojing out alone.
Zhao Xiaojing followed Yu Yiyuan out of the door, puzzled. She stopped in the corridor, staring at him face to face, waiting for his next words. Unexpectedly, Yu Yiyuan glanced at her, then suddenly lowered his head and smiled shyly. "Well... I saw you compete before, and you're quite good at martial arts. Beating a man is no problem."
?
Zhao Xiaojing was stunned.
I thought he was going to say something, but this is what he said?
I didn’t realize that Yu Yiyuan had such a habit?
"...Do you need me to hit you?" Zhao Xiaojing asked cautiously.
"It's not me, it's someone else." Yu Yiyuan smiled and waved his hands, "Uh...it's not that others need you to fight, but I need you to have this deterrent power."
"Why?" Zhao Xiaojing became even more confused.
"The contestant you had a conflict with in that match was on our team with Gong Hezhi. In the last match, it was Gong Hezhi who started the fight that caused Pei Yeyu to completely get into trouble, and the team was eventually split into three. And the reason he started the fight was the same as yours. He looked down on the female chefs and wanted to give them low scores and make them do odd jobs. I disagree with that."
Zhao Xiaojing frowned and thought about it. There were three people who had made trouble at that time. Two of them were eliminated, and one did advance. She didn't expect that he was still restless here.
