"This competition will be broadcast live in its entirety. Viewers can interact with us in the live stream and vote online for their favorite chefs. The chef with the most votes will have the opportunity to participate in an exhibition match alongside the champion."
A round of applause erupted in the studio, instantly bringing the competition to a climax.
"Alright, without further ado, let's move on to the first round. All contestants, please come up on stage to draw lots, and then select your ingredients in the order you draw lots. Please note that the order in which you select your ingredients is very important!"
really.
Xu Milu observed the other five opponents calmly, mentally ranking and scoring their abilities:
Bald Eagle chef Jack Brown is highly skilled and adept at handling meats, with an unparalleled grasp of cooking time and temperature. He might choose steak or lamb chops as the main course for the day.
Japanese contestant Sayuri Mishima is skilled in kaiseki cuisine and her handling of seasonal ingredients is quite amazing; she may choose seafood for her dishes.
Andre Adams, a contestant from Canada, excels at creating innovative sauces. He is quite adept at combining sauces and utilizing ingredients, so he deserves special attention.
Guan Wenyan is skilled in vegetarian cuisine. In the finals, she is likely to play to her strengths and choose Huaiyang cuisine. Since the opponent's target ingredients do not conflict with hers, she may consider cooperating.
Bai Bao'er, a descendant of the Bai family, has learned traditional Sichuan cuisine preparation methods since childhood, but she is more skilled in molecular gastronomy. Her opponent's target ingredients are very likely to conflict with her target ingredients, so she needs to be careful.
"Let's prepare for the draw."
Xu Milu glanced at Li Ning, nodded to him, and went up to draw lots. Each contestant could choose to bring one or more assistant chefs on stage, and she naturally chose Li Ning.
Perhaps it was just bad luck today, but Xu Milu's group drew fourth place, which means she has to wait in line after Guan Wenyan, Mishima Sayuri, and Jack Brown to select the ingredients she needs.
Wow, this girl has such a great presence! Let's give her a kiss!
[I'm just having bad luck; the Bald Eagles player ahead of me is definitely going to cause trouble!]
[Does the person upstairs really not use the internet? This is the female lead of the 'He Shang Lu CP'!]
[Wow, I'm shocked by the Bentley support on Weibo! Posting cheesy pick-up lines right before the match is like a real-life version of a domineering CEO and his sweetheart! I love it! More please!]
Am I the only one who cares about what dish she wants to cook?
[The later you get your ingredients, the less likely you are to get good ones. I'm worried for this girl...]
The screen was flooded with comments, but Xu Milu seemed oblivious, comforting Li Ning as if she hadn't seen them:
"It's okay, they probably can't guess what I'm going to cook today, so let them take it first."
According to the competition rules, the six contestants, including her, drew lots to determine the order in which they would receive the ingredients. Those who ranked higher would have priority in selecting ingredients, and the choice of ingredients would play a crucial role in the preparation of today's dishes.
In previous competitions, there have been instances where foreign contestants have taken away all the salt and oil to limit the performance of their opponents. Therefore, she needs to be careful about the order in which she takes the ingredients so that her opponents can't figure out what dish she really wants to make today.
The idea was wonderful, but the reality was harsh.
In the first round of ingredient selection, Guan Wenyan immediately picked out the duck she had her eye on.
