Chapter 460: When men get jealous, what does it matter to women?
"Yes, even though you only showed off two moves, they were so cool and impressive. The whole crowd cheered and asked for your name!"
"Someone even took it as a case of popular science, saying you were the boss of that variety show Wu Lesheng and the others appeared on a while ago, and said they were planning to go to your restaurant for dinner!"
"Although many people in the audience hadn't seen the variety show, everyone knew about it after it spread!"
The fat man and Wen Xinyuan sang in unison.
"This..." Zhao Xiaojing was stunned.
Who would have thought that on a variety show where he participated in a chef competition, he became famous for performing a few Tai Chi moves before even showing off his cooking skills?
"Okay, the voting process is fair and open, and the voting results are clear at a glance. Now let's determine the final captain candidate." A staff member's shout interrupted Zhao Xiaojing's daze.
"First is contestant No. 43, who has the most votes, Yu Yiyuan, and is now officially appointed as our captain No. 1!" The staff member removed the number in front of No. 43, whose card slot was the fullest.
There was sparse applause from the audience.
"Next up is our number 10, Zhao Duo, who is now officially appointed as our second captain!"
Slot 1 0 has exactly four fewer tickets than 4 3, and those four tickets happened to be cast by four people.
"We're really helping the enemy." muttered the fat man.
There was immediate warm applause from the audience.
Zhao Xiaojing clapped her hands while feeling puzzled.
When did Fatty become more popular than Yu Yiyuan?
When the team was going from 3-0 to 1-0 in the first game, Yu Yiyuan wasn't liked or talked about by so many people, while Fatty and Wen Xinyuan were more hated?
"And our slot number 26, contestant Mao Tingxiu, is now officially our captain number three!"
The applause became even louder.
"Our slot number 1, Wen Xinyuan, is now officially our captain number four!"
Sure enough, Wen Xinyuan also became the captain, and the idea of forming a team with Fatty was unexpectedly shattered.
But looking at Wen Xinyuan's smug look, he probably had forgotten all about uniting to defeat other teams, and all that was left was the pride of being recognized by his peers.
There was another round of warm applause.
"Finally, our slot number 3, Luo Junlang, is now officially our captain number five!"
The applause continued to be enthusiastic.
"I remember that Yu Yiyuan was very popular in the first game. Everyone praised him for his handsomeness and criticized the fat guy and Wen Xinyuan. How come the situation was reversed today? Everyone voted for him, but the applause was so sparse?" Zhao Xiaojing leaned close to Guan Yingxia's ear.
"Look at the gender ratio on the field now." Guan Yingxia smiled.
Zhao Xiaojing turned her head and glanced at the players on the field.
Among the top fifty contestants, there are only seven or eight female chefs left, and the rest are male chefs.
"In that 300-to-100 match, half of the chefs were female, and they were naturally excited to see Yu Yiyuan. Now, it's all men. Although they admit he has the ability, they are just jealous when they see him."
"Oh~" Zhao Xiaojing responded meaningfully, and her eyes silently turned to Wen Xinyuan.
Tsk, man.
"When men become jealous, women have no chance." Guan Yingxia added.
"But is Luo Junlang so good? Logically speaking, shouldn't Jing Ziheng be ranked ahead?" Zhao Xiaojing continued to ask.
Although several people mentioned that Luo Junlang was a disciple of Bai Zhengxin, a famous Anhui cuisine chef, according to their statement that a person with a noble family heritage is more important than a disciple of a famous chef, he should be ranked after Jing Ziheng.
"To give an inappropriate example, he's a self-made man, currently at the peak of his popularity, while Jing Ziheng is a small, slender figure on the verge of collapse. In terms of fame, it's the latter, but in terms of ability, it's definitely the former. Now, everyone chooses the captain based on ability."
"That hits the nail on the head." Zhao Xiaojing sighed.
"Sister Xia suffered because she has been in Hong Kong for so many years. Many people in this circle don't know her, otherwise Sister Xia would definitely be ahead of Luo Junlang. But because Sister Xia defeated the fat man, some people know about it, so she still got a few votes from people in the know." Wen Xinyuan turned his head and took the initiative to answer the question that Zhao Xiaojing didn't ask.
"So Sister Xia is developing in Hong Kong." Zhao Xiaojing nodded in sudden realization, and her doubts were immediately resolved.
"My master is in Hong Kong, so I spend most of my time in Hong Kong, but I also spend some time in Guangdong Province." Guan Yingxia said.
"Next, please ask the five captains to come to me." Without waiting for Zhao Xiaojing to ask again, the staff member pointed to the position in front of him and gave instructions.
"Okay, turn around and stand here." After the five captains stepped out, the staff asked them to turn around one by one and stand in front facing the big screen.
"Now our five captains have come out. Next, we will continue to determine the vice-captains according to the remaining votes from high to low. Each team has only one vice-captain, and the vice-captain can choose a captain at will." The staff continued to announce the rules.
Zhao Xiaojing hurriedly looked at the other card slots and stared at Guan Yingxia blankly.
They can't be in the same group anymore.
Zhao Xiaojing finally got four votes. Although not much, it was already in the top ten.
If each team only has one vice-captain, she and Guan Yingxia, who has five votes, will also have to go their separate ways.
"Congratulations to our first vice-captain, contestant #3 Jing Ziheng. Now, please choose your captain and stand behind him!"
Jing Ziheng hesitated for a few seconds and then stood behind Mao Tingxiu.
"Congratulations to the second vice-captain, contestant #20, Guan Yingxia. Now, please choose your captain and stand behind him!"
Guan Yingxia stood up, smiled helplessly at Zhao Xiaojing, and stood directly behind Wen Xinyuan.
"Congratulations to the third vice-captain, contestant No. 2 Zhao Xiaojing. Now, please choose your captain and stand behind him."
Zhao Xiaojing chose the fat man without hesitation.
Next, one was Qiao Chengren, the contestant who won the votes of two judges and combined Zhejiang cuisine with dim sum, and chose Luo Junlang. The other was Pei Yeyu, who failed to advance as an opponent of Yu Yiyuan and was finally resurrected and advanced, and chose Yu Yiyuan.
After the vice-captain is selected, the remaining step is for the contestants to choose their teams. The host will select the teams in reverse order from the largest to the smallest according to the order of the previous game. Each team is limited to ten people. Once the team is full, no further selections can be made.
I originally thought that Fatty and Yu Yiyuan had the most votes, so the seats would definitely be filled first, but I never expected that the situation would be completely the opposite.
The first team to be full was Luo Junlang's team, followed by Jing Ziheng, and then Mao Tingxiu. However, the fat man and Yu Yiyuan, who were at the top of the list, were avoided by the other contestants.
The fat man had his back to Zhao Xiaojing and couldn't see what was happening behind him. He heard the players choosing their teams and stood there scratching his head and rubbing his hands anxiously. Zhao Xiaojing, who was standing behind him, had to hold back her laughter for a long time.
After all the contestants were finally divided into groups, the staff announced that the captains would turn around.
