100 grams of flour and a large pot of water were placed in front of each worktop, with no scale on the pot.
The judges announce the start, and the contestants can meet.
Yuan Yi knew the approximate amount of water needed, poured it directly and started kneading the noodles. Within two minutes, the noodles were kneaded. Although there was still some flour on the outside of the basin, it was not much. Yuan Yi was still very satisfied with his performance.
The judges felt that Yuan Yihe's noodles were not bad, so they gave it a pass.
Tang Manying and the others cheered happily again, "Old Yuan is not bad."
Qin Xin nodded. After all, Yuan Yi is a professional, and he can definitely pass the face-to-face test.
After Yuan Yi came back, he went directly to the restaurant. Qin Xin was in a good mood, cooking with Qin Xin, Yuan Yi himself would be more peaceful.
When Shao Minyi came to pick up Tang Manying, he ran to Yuan Yi to collect it, "Old Yuan, you are really good, the flour was mixed into a ball so quickly."
Yuan Yi said, "You will see Xiaoxin then."
"I'll stay in front of my phone tomorrow morning," Shao Minyi said.
On May 16th, Qin Xin set off at 6:30. When she went downstairs, Qin Xin found that Gu Wuyu had come again.
Gu Wuyu, "Everything must have a beginning and an end."
Qin Xin got into Gu Wuyu's car, "When did you come?"
"Just arrived." Last time because of the traffic jam, although the two set off an hour earlier, they almost missed it. This time, Gu Wuyu was an hour and a half earlier.
Because it is the second round of knockout rounds, the number of participants in the area is less than that of the audition, but overall it is still more.
With the previous experience, this time is very fast, Qin Xin draws the number 27, and if there are three people, Qin Xin enters the ninth group.
There were three groups waiting outside the competition area. Not long after Qin Xin sat down, she stood outside the competition area.
While queuing up, Qin Xin found that there was another acquaintance in front of her, the lady who was in the same group as her in the last audition, and her number was 21st.
The lady came out with a smile on her face, and she was also the first contestant to go out from another passage in this competition area.
Apparently, she made it through the second knockout round.
The competition started at 9:00, and Qin Xin entered the arena at 7:00 past 9:00, and the judges this time were different from last time.
But these three judges all seemed to know Qin Xin, and when they saw Qin Xin enter the arena, the three of them still looked at each other.
This time Qin Xin was on the far right. Just as the judges announced the start, the one on the left was excited or nervous, and immediately poured the whole pot of water into the big bowl.
The judges collectively raise their forks.
In just three seconds, one contestant was eliminated, which instantly made the contestant in the middle nervous.
Qin Xin didn't seem to be affected, so she came in and poured the flour into a large bowl, then poured in the water, and started kneading the dough.
The contestant in the middle didn't dare to look around. He seemed to feel Qin Xin's peaceful state of participation. He took a deep breath, ignored the tension in his heart, and started to meet.
Qin Xin was very fast. In about 30 seconds, a smooth dough was reconciled. Qin Xin raised her hand to signal that she was reconciled.
Most of the chefs who can enter this competition are relatively good chefs. This is also a basic skill in making noodles. Like the one on the left, it is obviously caused by nervousness, not because they cannot make noodles.
Just after the contestant on the far left went out, the judges all looked at Qin Xin.
The posture of Qin Xin and the face looks very casual, but every time she puts her energy into the right position, the three judges feel that watching such a beautiful woman cook is really a pleasure.
As a result, Qin Xin actually raised his hand.
The judges looked at the time, thirty seconds, they wanted to see more.
But what can I do, Qin Xin has already kneaded the dough.
When the three judges saw the smooth and soft dough, the one in the middle said, "I remember this contestant only added water once." Water, coincidence or not, is pretty powerful.
"I gave it to her."
The other two judges also shouted.
Qin Xin walked out of the arena.
When the time of 2 minutes was up, the one in the middle stopped what he was doing, and his face was reconciled. The judges thought it was okay and gave it to him.
Qin Xin had just finished registering, and the contestant also came out to register. As soon as he left the competition venue, he was relieved. Fortunately, Qin Xin had attracted the attention of the judges just now, which allowed him to meet so calmly.
Gu Wuyu's car was parked not far away. Seeing that Qin Xin passed the match in the live broadcast, he drove the car outside the arena.
This time there were more reporters outside the arena than last time. There may have been ten competition areas in T City last time, but this time there were only two. The previous reporters were all concentrated in these two areas.
The contestant who was the first to pass just now is still being interviewed.
As soon as Qin Xin came out, many reporters rushed to Qin Xin's side. In the last audition, the traffic of all the media that published Qin Xin's news exploded.
The reporters surrounded Qin Xin, "Xinxin, how do you feel after passing the competition?"
"After passing two games, do you have an idea for the next game?"
"Most of the contestants in this competition are men. As very few women, what do you think?"
A lot of questions were thrown out, Qin Xin first answered the reporter who interviewed her last time, "It's the same as the first time, I am very happy to pass the competition."
"For the next game, I don't have any ideas, so it's natural."
"Regardless of the profession, men and women should not be distinguished."
After Qin Xin finished answering, she nodded to the reporters and left the scene.
When the reporters saw that they had enough material, some of them went back to write news, and some of them waited in place to see if they could find something more exciting.
Gu Wuyu's car was waiting not far away.
Seeing Qin Xin getting into the car, Gu Wuyu said, "The speed is faster every game."
Qin Xin said, "The next match may not be so fast." These two matches tested basic skills, in order to eliminate most of the players in the fastest time. Those who can stay are naturally elites. Qin Xin felt that the next competition would become more and more difficult.
"You must be fine." Gu Wuyu believed in Qin Xin's cooking skills very much.
In fact, Qin Xin really didn't think about how far she can go in this God of Cooking competition in the future, just do her best.
Sitting in front of the TV, Shao Minyi was still sighing, "Old Yuan is right, Xiaoxin is really good at kneading noodles."
Tang Manying was very calm, "Xiao Xin is good at everything." She still remembered that she was shocked by Qin Xin's cooking skills for a long time when she arrived at the restaurant before she recovered.
Mei Congqing and Hu Xingguo were much calmer this time. To Qin Xin, meeting each other was completely child's play. Seeing Qin Xin in the province, Mei Congqing took a sip of water, and she began to look forward to the next match.
At 9 o'clock in the morning on May 18th, the official website of the God of Cooking Competition announced the list of participants who passed the second round of knockout rounds, with a total of 300,000 participants.
In other words, in this second knockout match, 700,000 people were eliminated. Just judging from the number of eliminated people, one can see how cruel this God of Cooking competition is.
On May 19th, Qin Xin received information about her competition area, and at 8:00 am on May 22nd, she will participate in the third round of the God of Cooking Competition knockout round in the T city competition area.
In the third round of the knockout round, several prefectures, cities and states set up a competition area. Among them, T city and the surrounding competition area are set up in T city, and the surrounding contestants will come to T city to participate in the third round of knockout competition.
The competition area this time is the same as the first competition area in T City last time. This is also the first time since the competition that Yuan Yi and Qin Xin participated in the same time and place.
On May 20th, the official website of the God of Cooking Competition announced the content of the third round of the knockout round. The content of this game is still two words steamed vegetables. But there is one more sentence introduction, at least two kinds of ingredients are used.
For this introduction, everyone is guessing what it means.
Qin Xin expressed her thoughts, "It may be that this time it is a steamed dish, and it uses more than two kinds of ingredients." Qin Xin guessed that this ingredient was probably provided by the organizer.
Yuan Yi was a little nervous. He didn't cook many steamed dishes, and he was better at "stewing".
At 8:00pm on May 21st, the second knockout round of the God of Cooking Competition was broadcast on TV. The ratings of the first audition were good, and the ratings of the second round were also much higher. The ratings at 8:30 Broken 2.
Yuan Yi showed his face in this clip, even so, his family was very happy after seeing it. Yuan Yi himself was also excited for a long time.
This time, all of Qin Xin's shots were kept. Wei Shuran and Qin Jian watched the live broadcast together. They would sit in front of the TV early, just to see if they could meet Qin Xin.
Wei Shuran and Qin Jiantong soon saw Qin Xin's appearance, they were a little excited, watching Qin Xin's and face's movements, they didn't even blink their eyes.
Just after Qin Xin's camera shot, and before the two had time to discuss, Qin Jiantong's cell phone rang.
Qin Jian agreed that they were business partners. He didn't understand why the other party was looking for him at this time, but after seeing Qin Xin's performance just now, Qin Jiantong would be happy now, "Hey."
"Old Qin, I seem to have seen your daughter on TV, the God of Cooking competition."
Qin Jiantong, "Ah yes, that's my daughter."
"That's right, you're beautiful, and your craftsmanship is good, Lao Qin, you are really happy."
Qin Jiantong, "Thank you, I also feel very happy." I don't know when, it seems that Qin Jiantong himself didn't realize that he seems to have some support for Qin Xin's catering.
Wei Shuran also received many calls from relatives who came to inquire about Qin Xin. I got it back during the Chinese New Year, because Qin Xin didn't come back. At that time, many relatives said that Qin Xin didn't dare to come back because he was too poor.
Now that Qin Xin participated in the God of Cooking competition, the faces of relatives suddenly changed again.
Wei Shuran was so happy, she even sent a message to Qin Xin after answering the phone.
After posting, Wei Shuran suddenly thought of something, "You said that Xiaoxin is competing during this period, should we go to T City to take care of her?" The competition must be very hard, and Wei Shuran can still take care of daily life.
Comrade Qin Jian said, "You go first, I'll go after I'm done with the work in hand."
Wei Shuran sent Qin Xin another message, asking if she could go to T City.
Qin Xin didn't know what Wei Shuran was going to do, so she asked him why.
Wei Shuran said that she wanted to take care of Qin Xin, and later promised that she would never interfere with Qin Xin.
After thinking about it, Qin Xin agreed.
On May 22, at 6:30 in the morning, Gu Wuyu came to pick up Qin Xin first, and then went to pick up Yuan Yi nearby.
Yuan Yi began to get a little nervous again, and the number of contestants in this competition area was a little less. Qin Xin's drawing order was No. 25, and Yuan Yi was No. 108. This time, only one person entered the competition area, and each person had five minutes to show.
The whole process is still broadcast live, and the rules are still the same as before. To pass the competition, three judges must pass unanimously. If one judge raises his cross, he will be eliminated.
When Qin Xin was queuing up, he was thinking about a problem. A dish needs to be steamed within five minutes. According to the requirements of the competition, this dish must be steamed, so the preparation time will take about one minute, that is to say, the remaining In the next four minutes, the food must be steamed, which seems simple, but it is not so easy to do.
When the first person entered the competition, someone wanted to see how it was operated, but turned on the phone and saw that all the phone information was blocked, and the people on the scene were a little dazed, "How does this compare?"
"I don't know, I could still see it before, but now I can't see anything."
…
Even though everyone had five minutes, the speed at which the people in front were eliminated was still very fast. Qin Xin didn't quite understand why.
Soon, Qin Xin understood as soon as she entered the arena.
Even if you read the knife skills and dough kneading that were tested before, it may not be able to cut out the level of the previous contestants.
But this time is different from the previous ones. These hosts have prepared ten kinds of ingredients and put the required seasonings on the table. If you know these ingredients in advance, you can think about how to make steamed dishes.
The organizer blocked the signal, one is for the fairness of the competition, and the other is to test everyone's adaptability.
After Qin Xin entered, just stood up, the judges said, "Start."
The timer lights up.
Qin Xin quickly glanced at the ingredients, from left to right they are corn, cucumber, egg, cabbage, eggplant, tomato, Chinese cabbage, tofu, spinach, lettuce.
These ingredients are washed in advance and can be used directly. Qin Xin took two seconds to think, and then took some lettuce.
These three judges also knew Qin Xin. In these two competitions, many audiences remembered Qin Xin. After all, he was good-looking and good at cooking. There are already many fans.
Therefore, the three judges still have some expectations for Qin Xin.
Seeing the lettuce that Qin Xin brought, the three judges were a little disappointed. One of the judges who was originally sitting up leaned back in the seat.
Lettuce can be eaten raw. After thinking for a short time, these contestants will choose tofu, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber as raw materials.
Qin Xin spread the lettuce evenly on the plate, and then cut off the excess with scissors. It took 7 seconds in total.
Qin Xin picked up a piece of tofu and scooped out the center, put it on a plate, and then put it directly into the steamer. It took 13 seconds in total.
The three judges were even more disappointed with Qin Xin. Although it complied with the rules, it was a bit simpler after all.
The steamer was kept on fire and kept at a constant temperature. Qin Xin did not cover the lid, but took out the cucumber. The judge on the left saw Qin Xin took the third ingredient and sat in front of it silently.
Qin Xin cut the cucumber into ultra-thin slices and placed them around the hole dug in the center of the tofu, taking a total of 21 seconds.
Qin Xin picked up the corn again, and the judges on the right nodded. There are four kinds of ingredients. It seems that Qin Xin still has two brushes.
After breaking off a few corns, Qin Xin cut them into small corn grains with a knife. Qin Xin put these small corn grains into the tofu, and it took 26 seconds in total.
Qin Xin took out the tomatoes again, and the judges in the middle were also interested. Yes, they took five kinds of ingredients.
Qin Xin peeled the tomatoes and mashed them in a bowl, then poured the juice from them into the tofu. It took 35 seconds in total.
In the end, Qin Xin took out an egg, beat it, poured it into the egg, and sprinkled it with a little salt. It took a total of 43 seconds.
To be honest, what kind of ingredients to use to respond in a very short time, and to choose six kinds of ingredients, is really good.
Qin Xin put the lid on the pot, and it took a total of 45 seconds.
Qin Xin faced the judges, and the timer was on top of Qin Xin's head. You can only see the time if you walk a few steps forward and look back. Here, the organizer has set a trap. Once a contestant looks back at the time, he will be eliminated.
Some of the players in the previous competition were eliminated because of watching the time.
In addition, there are also requirements for removing the lid. Once the player removes the lid of the pot and puts the lid down again, he will be eliminated.
If the cover is removed and the food is not put back, the food will be taken out, but the food will be eliminated if it is not cooked.
Of course, if the food is steamed without removing the cover, there is another condition, the steamed ingredients must be good-looking and delicious, and only if these conditions are met can they pass the third knockout round.
So the three judges watched Qin Xin's every move, and any next move might make Qin Xin eliminated.
However, Qin Xin didn't check the time, and stood quietly at the same place. When the time was almost up, Qin Xin lifted the lid of the pot. Unlike other contestants, he first checked whether the food was steamed or not. Qin Xin confidently used the tong next to it. Take out the food in the pot, put it on the table, and signal that your dish is ready.
The three judges glanced at the timer above, and it took a total of 4 minutes.
A staff member brought Qin Xin's dishes to the three judges. The lettuce at the bottom was green, the tofu on top was white, and the steamed eggs inside were red and yellow. The color alone was a lot better.
The judge in the middle took a spoonful first. Tomatoes and eggs are a perfect match. Adding corn and cucumbers makes the taste in the mouth more crisp and sweet. The tofu is very tender and melts in the mouth. The mellow feeling is directly sublimated The whole flavor of the food.
The judges in the middle spoke first, "Six kinds of ingredients are all steamed within five minutes, which is really good."
The judge on the left took a few mouthfuls before raising his head to comment, "The key is delicious."
The judge on the right said while scooping up the tofu below, "I gave it."
Passed unanimously, representing Qin Xin passed the third knockout round.
Qin Xin walked out of the competition field, her number was in the front, so she was the first player in this division to pass the competition.
There were still the same number of reporters, "Do you think this competition is difficult?"
"As the first player to pass the competition, how do you feel now?"
…
Qin Xin finished answering the questions and walked out of the venue.
Gu Wuyu was waiting outside. As soon as Qin Xin came out, Gu Wuyu got out of the car and opened the door of the passenger seat. When the two of them sat down, Gu Wuyu said, "The difficulty of this game has increased."
Qin Xin said, "It's not too difficult. Tofu is already cooked. Cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce can be eaten raw, and eggs are easy to steam. Generally, this method comes to mind."
If Yuan Yi was there, he must have said that he couldn't think of it.
Yuan Yi entered the competition area. After seeing the food, Yuan Yi's mind went blank for a moment. All he could think about was that he only had five minutes. After five seconds of trance, Yuan Yi still took the tofu and eggs. However, Yuan Yi cut the tofu into small pieces, then spread the eggs on top of the tofu, and finally added some lettuce and shredded it and sprinkled it on top.
There are also three kinds of ingredients. After passing it, Yuan Yi walked out of the venue and suddenly realized that he could add some cucumber slices or tomatoes.
Yuan Yi's number is at the back. Qin Xin had already gone back when he came out. Yuan Yi stopped two cars, got in, and turned on his phone to search for Qin Xin's game videos.
Qin Xin has a lot of fans. In the last three games, there were fans who watched the live broadcast. They edited the video of Qin Xin's games and posted them on the Internet.
It took just over four minutes, and Yuan Yi finished reading it quickly. He patted his thigh, why didn't he expect that these ingredients could be made in this way.
The taxi driver saw Yuan Yi's state and heard the movement of the mobile phone, "Are you watching the MasterChef competition?"
Yuan Yi said, "Well, I'm watching Xiaoxin's match clip."
"You mean Xinxin?"
Yuan Yi said, "Well, it's Xinxin from Xinxin Restaurant."
The driver became interested when he heard this, "Let me tell you, this little girl is really amazing. Our whole family likes her very much. I knew she was famous before. My daughter has always liked Xinxin very much and often eats the food she cooks. , now watching TV, I also want to have a chance to try."
Yuan Yi, "Welcome."
The driver realized something when he heard the tone, "Who are you?"
Yuan Yi said, "In conclusion, I am Xiaoxin's apprentice."
At this moment, the driver felt that the back row had done a great job, "Then you just came out of the competition area?"
Yuan Yi said, "Well, I just finished participating in the competition."
"Have you passed this round?" the driver asked.
Yuan Yi, "We were lucky enough to pass."
If it wasn't for driving, the driver would give a thumbs up, "Don't be so modest, we have a daughter of a distant relative who is studying cooking abroad, and came back this year to participate in the God of Cooking competition, and the family arranged a lot of reporters Well, she has passed the first two games, and after these reports come out, she is also a little famous." But compared with Qin Xin, it is far behind.
"Really?" Yuan Yi doesn't have much interest in such a person, and the study of cooking should be as pure as Qin Xin's, and there should be no other distracting thoughts.
As soon as Qin Xin arrived home, she found that Wei Shuran had already arrived. She searched the information of the competition on the Internet as soon as she got off the plane, and saw how happy Qin Xin passed the third knockout round.
Seeing Gu Wuyu send Qin Xin back, Wei Shuran was even happier.
When Qin Xin saw Wei Shuran, he said in a calm tone, "You're here."
Wei Shuran said, "Well, what do you want for lunch, I'll make it for you?" Qin Xin liked Wei Shuran's cooking the most when she was young, but she didn't like it that much when she got older.
Qin Xin, "Anything you want." It's still early, Qin Xin wants to continue making some food, as for Wei Shuran, she can do whatever she wants.
Hearing this, Wei Shuran happily ran to the kitchen to make soup. In recent years, Qin Jiantong likes to drink soup very much, and Wei Shuran has also studied a lot. Now making soup for Qin Xin, Wei Shuran is not to mention how hard he is.
