Chapter 2208 Preparation Before the Game

The official start time of the competition is at nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, using a two-game format a day.

To be specific, the top ten will be determined by the top 20 players on the first day, the top ten will be selected by the second day, and the champion, second runner-up, and third runner-up will be determined on the third day.

In fact, in a real competition, with such a large venue and scale, the competition can be completed on the first day.

But for such a large venue in the city, wouldn’t it be a loss if the competition could be completed in one day?

If it weren't for the schedule and it couldn't be delayed any longer, I would have thought of five days.

Closer to home, there is another most famous award in the Bocuse Culinary Competition, which is the most popular dish in the competition. However, this award requires unanimous full score approval from all judges.

If the conditions are not met, the selection will be empty. With such rules, it can be expected that this award will be rare in history.

Yuan Zhou came here a little early because he wanted to get familiar with the local environment in Lyon, and the most important thing was the local ingredients.

In fact, not only Yuan Zhou, but also winners from other places around the world have come to Lyon to participate in the competition in recent days. After all, there is not only one competition area in France, but there are three competition areas in Europe alone, which is not a small number.

That is to say, the special thing about Yuan Zhou is that he is directly invited to participate in the finals.

After arriving at the hotel, August did not stay long. Instead, he set off after telling Yuan Zhou about the process of the competition and related matters. They had just arrived and they must have had a good rest. August Still understand.

Even if he wanted to communicate with Yuan Zhou again, he planned to wait until the game was over.

"I don't know how good this Chinese chef is. Mr. Podlaco refused when he came to visit him before, but the boss values ​​him so much." Hakim had such doubts in his mind.

You must know that Podlaco is a famous European chef and the most promising person to succeed the president of the French Cuisine Association.

When Hakeem was preparing for the competition, he took a good look at how amazing Yuan Zhou's performance was. With so many contestants coming, only Yuan Zhou could ask August to pick him up in person. This was definitely extraordinary.

What Hakeem didn't know was that August had snatched him away from Yuan Zhou.

It was stolen from Gauss. It was too high-profile for Gauss and August to come together. In order not to cause trouble to Yuan Zhou, the two argued for a while. The final result must be that August was superior in skills.

Yuan Zhou doesn’t know.

He was sorting out the things he had brought.

The organizers of the competition are very generous this time. In order to allow every chef who comes to participate in the competition to participate in the competition with peace of mind and have their own space to practice before the competition, the rooms are all deluxe suites with full kitchen equipment.

As we all know, there are very few hotels that allow guests to cook their own meals.

Of course, hosting this conference, attracting tourists, and bringing economic benefits will not cause the organizing committee to lose money.

"Master, do you need to bring out these seasonings?" Cheng Zhaomei is sorting out some common seasonings and special sauces brought by Yuan Zhou. Zhong Lili also spent a lot of effort in applying to bring these things out.

"No, just take it to the venue when the time comes." Yuan Zhou said directly.

After hearing what the master said, Technician Cheng moved his hands away from touching those things and took the bag directly to the shelf over there.

Yuanzhou looked at the time and planned to tell Cheng Zhaomei about the revision of this month's homework that he handed in two days ago.

"Come here Zhaomei, didn't I tell you how to deal with the offal a few days ago? Have you thought about it carefully after you went back?" Yuanzhou waved to Cheng Zhaomei.

As soon as she put her luggage away, she heard the master's call. Cheng Zhaomei immediately walked over and sat down at Yuan Zhou's signal, and began to tell her story honestly.

Here Yuan Zhou is inspecting his apprentices, but some of the contestants on the other side are not so relaxed, but the atmosphere is slightly tense.

"Duh duh duh"

The cutting board made a sound when it came into contact with the knife. Peroman carefully paid attention to the incision between the ingredients and the knife while trying to control the speed of the knife. He was practicing his knife skills, hoping to make some progress before the competition.

As the champion of Europe's first division, Peroman has always been neither arrogant nor arrogant and hopes to do his best anytime and anywhere.

Of course, there are also three or two people who have a relatively good relationship who get together to discuss and confirm each other, and it seems to be quite lively.

There were also people like Stella and Julian who sat across from each other, looking at each other a little bit, but with excited expressions on their faces.

Of course, this is the only one that has this kind of performance. There is no other semicolon.

"I heard that the chef named Yuan has arrived today. Do you think we should go and have a look?" Stella asked a little uncertainly.

Ever since Julian and I were tortured by Yuan Zhou's cooking videos last time, Julian and I have inexplicably felt like we are the same people in the world. Therefore, we have changed from the usual way of ignoring each other and have become nothing. Just sit together and discuss Yuanzhou.

"I think we can watch the game the day after tomorrow anyway. It's better not to go now, so as not to disturb your mood." Julian had a different idea.

From grassroots struggle to the current situation, Julian understands the importance of state of mind and how to maintain a calm state of mind.

"What you said makes sense." Stella said thoughtfully.

In fact, he didn't really want to go. Although he could make it to the finals this time, Yuan Zhou's amazing cooking skills left a deep impression on him.

France is very lively here, and China is no less generous.

"Lili, have you informed everyone? We will leave tomorrow morning. Has the hotel been booked? Is it located near the venue?" Zhou Shijie asked several questions in succession.

"Don't worry, President, the exchange group has been notified to gather at the airport at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. The hotel has been confirmed at the Boscolo Hotel, which is right next to the venue. Chef Auguste from France helped. ." Zhong Lili said seriously.

In order to cheer for Yuan Zhou and celebrate the first time someone in Asia participated in the Bocuse Cooking Competition, Zhou Shijie decided to take the exchange group to cheer in advance.

Going there in advance requires solving accommodation and other issues, but when Zhong Lili contacted August, the other side offered to help solve the problem. With the help of local snakes, Zhong Lili was naturally very relaxed.

"That's good." Zhou Shijie turned around twice and found that there seemed to be nothing to ask.

Just as she was about to wave Zhong Lili to get off work, she suddenly remembered something, "Has Ban Xu been notified in place? How many people are going with him?"

Yuan Zhou entrusted the problems of Xu Ban and others to Zhou Shijie. Naturally, Zhou Shijie would do his best. In fact, as long as it was Yuan Zhou's matter, he would take it seriously.

The Bocuse d'Or World Culinary Competition, which is connected with Sino-French exchanges, is a good opportunity for Chinese cuisine to become famous, and the preparations naturally need to be comprehensive.

"President, don't worry, we have informed you. There are three people at Secretary Xu's place, and there are no problems." Zhong Lili was absolutely resolute when it came to business matters.

"That's good, thank you for your hard work, you can get off work now." Zhou Shijie saw that it was getting late and waved Zhong Lili to get off work.

Zhong Lili also felt that the matter was almost settled, so she said hello and left work. After all, she still had luggage to pack.
