Yuan Yi was stunned when he saw Wei Shuran when he came back. During the Chinese New Year, Yuan Yi had something to do and came late, so he never met Wei Shuran and Qin Jiantong.
After Qin Xin finished his introduction, he and Yuan Yi continued to cook in the kitchen.
All the guests who came this day congratulated Qin Xin and Yuan Yi.
In the evening, Wei Shuran was going to stay in the hotel, Qin Xin let her live in the guest room on the second floor, which made Wei Shuran happy for a long time.
When they came together the next morning, they started to clean the whole house, Qin Xin didn't say anything.
At 9 a.m. on May 25th, the official website of the God of Cooking Competition announced the list of participants for the fourth knockout round, only 10,000 people. Everyone was a little bit embarrassed, the third round of the knockout round actually wiped out 290,000 people.
Yuan Yi was a little excited when he found his name. Among the more than 70 million people participating this time, he has already reached the forefront of everyone. If he can pass the fourth round of elimination, Yuan Yi thinks it is worth it.
On May 26th, Qin Xin and Yuan Yi received their competition information. Both of them participated in the fourth round of the provincial God of Cooking competition in the N city competition area at 8:30 am on May 29th.
In this round of knockout rounds, each province will set up one competition area. Occasionally, provinces with a large number of participants will set up two sub-competition areas, and the competition areas will basically be set in their respective provincial capitals.
Qin Xin noticed that the time was changed from 8:00 to 8:30, and the number of participants must have decreased a lot.
After breakfast on May 27th, Yuan Yi turned on his mobile phone, and said, "The content of the fourth knockout round has been announced, it's 'stir-frying.'" Yuan Yi's tone was a little excited, and the test method of stir-frying seems to be simpler than steaming .
Qin Xin opened the official website of the God of Cooking Competition. In addition to stir-frying, there is also a brief introduction below, please use three ingredients.
Unlike the previous steamed dishes, steamed dishes must use more than two ingredients, but this time the prompt says to use three ingredients.
Yuan Yi fell into deep thought, "What exactly does this mean?"
Qin Xin thought about it, but couldn't figure out why, "Maybe this time there are three fixed ingredients."
Yuan Yi thinks it makes sense, but it is completely impossible to guess how these three ingredients are determined. He can only wait until the game the day after tomorrow to decipher it.
Originally, Wei Shuran was watching TV clips at home for the first few games. Wei Shuran felt nervous only when she was with Qin Xin, but she found that Qin Xin was not nervous at all, and still sold three meals a day every day.
Wei Shuran wakes up every morning and cleans the room on the second floor first. Originally, Qin Xin would wash her clothes after taking a bath every night. Now that Wei Shuran is here, Qin Xin is asked to keep all the clothes, and she will wash them the next day.
After finishing the housework on the second floor, Wei Shuran went to help on the first floor.
After coming here for several days, Wei Shuran never interfered with Qin Xin's affairs, which made Qin Xin's attitude towards Wei Shuran slightly better.
On May 28, Qin Xin and Yuan Yi rushed to N City.
Originally, Wei Shuran wanted to accompany her, but Qin Xin refused. For the competition, there is no point in going too many people. Besides, Qin Xin will go today and come back after the competition tomorrow.
This time, it was still Gu Wuyu who saw Qin Xin off, but it was Lu Yiming who drove.
In fact, Qin Xin planned to drive by herself, or book a high-speed train to go to N City, but Gu Wuyu said that they also happened to be going to N City for a meeting, and the hotel was also booked.
Qin Xin agreed, but Qin Xin also vaguely felt that Gu Wuyu treated her differently. This kind of care had gone beyond the relationship between partners or even friends.
The extended version of the commercial vehicle is much more spacious and comfortable in the rear. A few hours' journey to N City will not be so tiring.
Yuan Yi was a little afraid to be with Gu Wuyu. Although Gu Wuyu didn't have any hostility towards him, he just felt that Gu Wuyu had an overbearing aura. This momentum will only disappear when she is with Qin Xin.
As a man, Yuan Yi was aware of Gu Wuyu's change towards Qin Xin, but Qin Xin's thoughts were all on studying cooking, and he didn't know when he would discover Gu Wuyu's thoughts.
Due to the above factors, Yuan Yi ran directly to the last row after getting in the car and leaned on the back seat to rest.
Gu Wuyu and Qin Xin chatted nonchalantly.
"Three hundred stores have been approved to join Bobo Chicken." In fact, there are far more than this number of franchisees, but it takes time to review one by one.
Hearing this number, Qin Xin was a little happy, which was a step closer to her desire to push the delicious food out.
Gu Wuyu, "After the competition, should we stay in City N for a day tomorrow?"
"I plan to go back after the game." Qin Xin said, she and Yuan Yi are both competing tomorrow, so they should be able to go back.
Lu Yiming had already booked a hotel in N City, which was only a five-minute walk from the competition area.
After the group arrived, they had a simple dinner and went back to the hotel to rest.
Qin Xin took a shower, lay on the bed, and turned on the TV. Tonight, it was time for the third round of the knockout round.
At eight o'clock, the opening song of the God of Cooking Contest sounded. Except for the first broadcast of the show, there would be a few commercials. It was said that they were commercials, so I just read them and which brands sponsored them. The total did not exceed 30 seconds.
Qin Xin noticed that the sponsors were different each time. After the sponsor finished reading, nearly 2 hours of broadcast time remained, without a second of commercials,
The show started soon, and Qin Xin watched it very seriously. If it could be edited into the TV, it was a chef with two skills.
The video of Qin Xin's competition is still all kept this time, and the monologue and background music added later made Qin Xin a little dumbfounded.
When the judges tasted Qin Xin's ingredients, they could not miss the ingredients Qin Xin steamed. During the competition, Qin Xin didn't think it was funny, but after adding the post-production, Qin Xin wanted to laugh.
There is a text on each judge's head, "It's finally ready to eat, it's so delicious."
"Didn't eat breakfast in the morning, this will eat a little more."
"I finally found one that tastes good, eat more."
Coupled with the funny pure music, the atmosphere of the entire tense competition was suddenly a little amusing, and Gu Wuyu, who had an indifferent face, actually smiled when he saw this scene.
Although Wei Shuran didn't go to N City, she smiled very happily when she saw this scene.
Hu Xingguo said, "The next time I watch this, I will prepare a lot of food."
Mei Congqing, "No, I also miss Xiaoxin's cooking now."
…
Netizens on the Internet, seeing this, also began to scan Weibo.
[I was so nervous watching the previous game, why do I want to laugh so much when Xinxin is here.]
[These three judges were hacked so badly, but I actually felt so real.]
[Hahaha, I have already recorded this segment and am going to play it on a loop.]
[In the later stage, wake up quickly, this is the scene of the God of Cooking Competition, is it really okay for you to edit like this?]
…
Yuan Yi watched the entire match, and still had some unfinished business. Before watching, he was also looking forward to seeing if there would be a shot of himself, even if it was the same as last time, there would be a shot, but it was destined to disappoint him.
Listening to the ending song of the God of Cooking Competition, Qin Xin can probably guess the future opponents.
On the morning of May 29th, Yuan Yi and Qin Xin had some breakfast in the lobby, and Gu Wuyu asked the hotel to prepare a light breakfast.
It was fine last night, but when he got up this morning, Yuan Yi became nervous again. He would sit at the table and couldn't eat anything.
Lu Yiming said, "Eat some anyway."
Yuan Yi shook his head, he really couldn't eat it.
Qin Xin took a sip of the porridge and said to Yuan Yi, "If you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to hold the pot later." Since it's stir-frying, it must be fried in the pot. If you don't have the strength, how can you do it.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yi immediately drank a large bowl of porridge.
Lu Yiming silently took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, and Miss Qin was the best.
After dinner, Qin Xin originally thought that Gu Wuyu would go to the meeting, but Gu Wuyu said to see him off.
Qin Xin, "I really don't need it, go get busy."
"The meeting starts at nine o'clock." Gu Wuyu glanced at the time, "Let's go, I'll see you off, and digest food along the way."
Five minutes away, we will arrive soon, Qin Xin, "Go and do your work." Qin Xin was a little embarrassed to ask Gu Wuyu to send her to N City.
Gu Wuyu, "Well, come on."
Qin Xin and Yuan Yi walked towards the arena.
Many reporters had gathered outside, and when they saw Qin Xin, they were all ready to come over to interview.
Qin Xin said, "Sorry, let's go to the competition first."
Seeing this, the reporter silently took a step back. Qin Xin nodded and walked towards the venue.
After entering, the lottery was drawn first. When Yuan Yi pressed the button for the lottery, his hands were shaking.
The number Qin Xin drew was 12, and Yuan Yi was 39.
All the contestants were waiting in a hall, and Qin Xin and Yuan Yi found their own seats to sit down.
Unlike the previous competitions where there were many young players, most of the players in this competition are middle-aged and above.
Therefore, as soon as Qin Xin entered the arena, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.
After Qin Xin sat down, the person next to her said, "You are Qin Xin, I saw you on TV."
Qin Xin nodded, "I'm Qin Xin."
The man gave a thumbs up, "The little girl is really nice."
Qin Xin, "Luck."
Seeing what Qin Xin said, the people next to him liked Qin Xin a little more. He was capable, but also very humble, a rare personality for young people.
At nine o'clock, the staff came in to announce the start of the game, and the first contestant entered the field.
This time, like the previous competition, the mobile phone signals of the players in the competition area were all blocked, and no one could see the live broadcast.
Some active chats during the waiting period, until now, most of them choose to sit in their original positions, close their eyes and meditate.
This time, everyone has seven minutes. Of course, it is still the same as before. Once they are judged to lift a fork, they will still be eliminated in advance.
There were still three people waiting this time, but Qin Xin obviously felt that the speed of the contestants' appearance was much slower than the previous one.
There are also some changes in the rules this time. It was given by the three judges before, and you can enter the next knockout round, but this time even if all three judges pass you, the list for the next round will have to be selected again. That is to say, the judges conduct a second screening based on the video to determine the final list.
Qin Xin also closed her eyes, but she wasn't resting, she was thinking that half of this year has passed, but she didn't research any of the products that she agreed to cooperate with Gu Wuyu. Of course, Bo Bo Chicken and Milk Tea Shop doesn't count.
When Qin Xin was about to think about what to research on the next product, she heard the staff calling for number 12 to line up, so Qin Xin got up and walked to the back of the line.
There were three people waiting in front, and the one in front entered the competition venue. Once the door was closed, no one outside could hear or see what was going on inside.
From Qin Xin queuing up to entering the arena, about 15 minutes passed. The three people who came out were not very good looking. Presumably they didn't pass. I think it was true. They were all very good chefs who made it to this point, so they were still eliminated. , It can only be said that the competition is really strict.
Qin Xin entered the arena and found that the judges on the opposite side had changed again.
The three judges who were still talking would immediately sit up straight after seeing Qin Xin appearing on the stage. Qin Xin didn't know, but they, the experts in the judges pool, knew that before the competition started, many people were discussing whether Qin Xin could pass the competition, and those who supported and opposed each had their own reasons.
The three of them also participated in the discussion. They also wanted to know how Qin Xin performed today and whether he could survive.
The staff sitting in the corner said, "There are twenty boxes on your left, choose three at random, and stir-fry the dishes. You have a total of seven minutes, and the timer starts."
As soon as the staff finished speaking, there was a beep, and the timer had already started.
Qin Xin walked in front of the twenty boxes. On the right side of the boxes was the console, on which were placed various seasonings. Qin Xin noticed that there were no shallots, ginger, or garlic in these seasonings.
Qin Xin opened the box closest to her and opened it to see that there were green onions inside. Qin Xin took out the onions and put them on the operating table, then opened the two boxes next to her, which contained shrimp and ginger respectively.
Qin Xin guessed that it was probably because of her good luck that the ingredients she got were so simple, but sometimes it was too simple to be remembered by the judges.
The only thing is the taste, after all, this is a chef's competition.
Qin Xin took the three ingredients and seven seconds passed.
Although these three ingredients have been washed, they have not been processed. For example, although the shrimp is cleaned, the shrimp line is not removed.
Qin Xin removed the shrimp thread first, and then put the shrimp heads and tails into two bowls separately. It took a total of 22 seconds.
Then cut the green onion into sections, cut the ginger into slices and put it aside, it took twenty-nine seconds in total.
Qin Xin took out a bowl. There were a lot of seasonings on the operating table. Qin Xin took a glance and remembered what these seasonings were.
Qin Xin first poured cooking wine, then poured in soy sauce, salt, sugar, and vinegar. Qin Xin picked up chopsticks and stirred these ingredients evenly. It took thirty-seven seconds in total.
Qin Xin poured oil into the pan, boiled it, put in the shrimp heads, and stir-fried until the oil in the pan turned red. Qin Xin took out the shrimp heads and added sliced ginger and shallots, and continued to stir-fry until the aroma was released. Fish out, and finally Qin Xin added the shrimp.
Still using the stir-fry mode, when the color of the shrimp turned red, Qin Xin put the seasoning sauce in the bowl into it, stir-fried it and served it out.
There are also various plates prepared on the operating table, such as round, square, rectangular, rhombus, lace, etc., and each shape has different sizes.
Qin Xin chose a small rectangular plate. Qin Xin stacked the prawns two by one. Ten prawns just filled the whole plate. Qin Xin put the food in front of her and raised her hand to indicate that she was done.
The accumulated time is three minutes and ten seconds.
After the competition, Qin Xin felt that this knockout competition was not as difficult as imagined. As long as the ingredients that were drawn were not particularly remote or tricky, they could basically be made in a stir-fried way. He just wanted the judges to remember himself, so he had to Come out of the taste and appearance.
Qin Xin is confident about the taste of her own cooking. When Qin Xin stacks two shrimps on the plate, the top and bottom just form a circle.
The judges on the left knew that Qin Xin would definitely pass the competition the moment Qin Xin calmly picked out the ingredients. So far, although only a dozen contestants have entered the competition, most of them hesitated to draw a box after hearing the rules of the competition. They didn’t know which three to choose, and some even took a minute to choose the ingredients for the box .
Qin Xin drew one and let the other go without any hesitation at all, which shows that Qin Xin has enough confidence that no matter which one she draws, she can do it. This confidence alone has attracted many people.
The staff brought Qin Xin's stir-fried prawns to the judges.
The judges in the middle didn't eat the shrimp first, but ran to the operating table to look at the scallion and ginger slices that Qin Xin fished out, and then he said, "Even though there was no scallion and ginger in the final plate, this contestant, It’s also very nicely cut.”
The remaining two judges were not polite, and each took a shrimp and put it in their own bowls. The shrimp skin is not peeled off, and it will fall off in one piece with a light bite. The shrimp thread inside is very clean, and you can safely feed a whole shrimp into your mouth.
The judge on the left had just eaten half a shrimp, and when he heard the comment from the judge in the middle, he nodded and said, "This shrimp is really fragrant, the heat is well controlled, and the meat is tender and delicious!"
The judge in the middle also took one and fed it into his mouth, "Indeed, this shrimp is very tender, and look at the color, because the oil in our competition is fixed. This contestant squeezed the oil from the head of the shrimp to turn the oil into Red, the prawns that come out are extra red, beautiful and beautiful.”
The two praised Qin Xin one by one, and then found that the one on the right hadn't spoken, so they looked at the latter.
The judge on the right was still eating shrimps. As he ate, he felt that something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere, and then he suddenly realized that he said, "I gave it to you before." The taste was so good, if the ingredients were not prepared in advance, he would have thought that Qin Xin made live shrimps on the spot. When he tasted it just now, he felt like he was in the sea.
The judge on the left also raised the sign, and the moment he put down the sign, he did not forget to pick up another shrimp.
The judge in the middle said, "Congratulations to contestant No. 12."
Qin Xin bowed to the judges, then left the competition area, and registered her information outside.
The judge in the middle was about to eat a shrimp after Qin Xin left, but suddenly found that the last shrimp was eaten by the judge on the right.
The judge in the middle put down his chopsticks, and silently scolded the other two in his heart. There were ten prawns in total, and he only ate one!
The staff next to him were very happy when they saw Qin Xin come out, "You are the first one to register in this competition area."
Qin Xin smiled, even if he can register for this meeting, he may not be able to enter the next game.
Coming out of the competition, the reporters gathered around again, "Xinxin, you are the first to pass this competition again, congratulations."
Qin Xin, "The rules are different from the previous ones. Even if I pass the competition, I may not be able to enter the next competition."
Journalists also have a certain understanding of this.
"Is today's game difficult?" A reporter asked.
Qin Xin, "Fortunately, rely on luck, blindly select three ingredients, and stir-fry them."
"Then what ingredients are you smoking?"
Qin Xin, "I'm lucky. I smoked shrimp, ginger, and green onions."
"Good luck to the next game."
Qin Xin, "Thank you."
Qin Xin came out and went straight back to the hotel. After she packed her luggage, she turned on the live broadcast and continued to watch the game.
It was only then that Qin Xin discovered that the ingredients provided were far more than 20. For example, after Qin Xin selected three, the staff would randomly take the other three ingredients and put them into the box that Qin Xin had emptied before.
Yuan Yi smoked beef, pork and ginger.
Yuan Yi was a little confused when he saw these three ingredients. Apart from making bun stuffing, he might put beef and pork together. In this way of stir-frying, he really wouldn't use these three ingredients together.
But soon, Yuan Yi thought of a way to do it. He sliced the beef and pork into thin slices, cut the ginger into pieces, put them in a pan and stir-fried them, and then added cooking wine, vinegar, and salt.
The judges finally gave it a pass.
Lu Yiming had already ordered lunch, and when Yuan Yi came back, the four of them checked out of the room and went to the place to eat.
When the food was served, Yuan Yi suddenly became nervous when he saw the steak, "Xiaoxin, what would you do if you got pork, beef and ginger?"
Qin Xin thought of this question when watching Yuan Yi smoke the ingredients, and said directly, "Slice the beef into thin slices, cut the pork into small pieces, stir-fry the pork first, and then add the beef slices after the flavor is released."
Yuan Yi immediately understood that the pork has a little more fat, and it can be eaten during the stir-fry process. In addition, it is cut quickly, so it is put into the pot first, and the beef protein content is higher, and the beef slices are more delicious. Here, two types of meat can be clearly distinguished.
Yuan Yi's expression was a little frustrated, why didn't he think of this.
Lu Yiming said, "Didn't you pass it? Don't think about it."
Yuan Yi said, "Only 100 people will participate in the next competition. That is to say, there are now 35 districts, and each district can pass at most three people."
But Yuan Yi counted, and he was also watching the live broadcast when he came out. From the game in the morning to now, four people have already passed the game.
Qin Xin, "Let it be, don't worry." Now that the game is over, it's pointless to think about these things.
Yuan Yi nodded and concentrated on eating.
After eating, everyone rushed to T City.
On the way back, Qin Xin asked Gu Wuyu, "Mr. Gu, is there any channel where I can buy some good-quality sweet potato flour?" Qin Xin had a preliminary plan for the new product, and Qin Xin started researching it when he was going back. .
When Lu Yiming heard this, he began to wonder if Qin Xin was planning to launch a new product. It was really difficult. Although he worked in Gu's, every time relatives and friends asked him when Xinxin would launch a new product, Lu Yiming would say that he didn't know.
To be honest, ordinary cooperative companies will never say that there are only a few new products a year, but Qin Xin is too Buddhist, and Gu Wuyu will not force Qin Xin to research products. Gu Wuyu's attitude That is, as long as Qin Xin is happy.
Gu Wuyu, "There is a part, I will show it to you when the time comes."
Lu Yiming immediately understood what Gu Wuyu meant. As soon as he returned today, he began to buy sweet potato flour in large quantities.
Author: Believe it or not, we have dropped the temperature by nearly 20 degrees today.
