Before the game.

As the end of October approaches, this time means that the 43rd "Autumn Selection" has ended and a month has passed. During this period, except for Erina Nakiri who went to Sapporo to participate in the Legendary Kitchenware Championship, the rest of the first-year freshmen participated in new topics.

"On-site training".

Perhaps it was the will of the world that influenced the growth of Yukihei Tsubasa. The second stop for this original work on the field training of the Pig-Foot is still the Shino’s branch in Tokyo opened by Kojiro Shinomiya. However, the location of this branch has changed. It was opened in the Xia Store Street, which was officially listed for renovation. Kojiro Shinomiya rented a street-facing store for a lower rent and completed the renovation.

Today is the final day for the trial opening of Shino’s branch.

"Um"

While yawning, Yukihei Chuangshi cleaned the inside and outside the store, but there were no customers. The whole restaurant was empty, and his own yawn was clearly echoed.

"Mr. Abel!"

Seeing a man wearing a chef's uniform from the back kitchen, Yukihei Tsuma raised his hand to say hello.

Abel stamped his foot slightly and pointed to the open restaurant door, "Yuehide, close the door, it's not open today."

"ah?"

Yukihei really doesn't understand why.

"Today is the first round of the semi-final four-final knockout match in the Sapporo event!" Abel was funny, "So there were no customers today. Go and see other restaurants in the store street."

"Fourth quarter elimination competition?" Yukihei Shin-mao suddenly shook violently, and finally realized his head. He quickly closed the glass door of the restaurant. At the same time, he did not forget to glance at the Xia family store deep in the block. He saw that the two restaurants were also closed. Not only Xia family restaurants, Morita noodle house and several restaurants that opened their doors one after another were closed.

After realizing it, Yukihiro was so upset that he could forget about such a high-profile event!

It’s all my fault that I thought about the recipe improvement plan, and I stayed up all night before I fell asleep until the morning was approaching!

Thumb...

After closing the door, he chased Abel's butt and went to the second floor of the restaurant.

The second floor is a special high-end dining area with a TV at the bar. When Kohei came up, he found that more than Shinomiya Kojiro, other skilled Totsuki graduates, Guan Shouhei, Mizuhara Tomomi, Kirihiko, Donato Wutongta and others were sitting in front of the bar and chatting and laughing.

Hearing the sound, a few people glanced at me.

"Oh, Xunping, you are here," Wutongtian greeted.

Yukihei Tsuma found Zhang Kong's chair and sat down, gasping for breath: "Have you started yet?"

"It starts on time at 10 o'clock, and there is still 10 minutes left..."

The TV screen is a live news room officially set up by the event. A well-known male host lives in the center, on both sides, with two professional chefs invited to participate in the event commentary and prediction.

Of course, these four professional chefs all had familiar faces. Yukihei Tsuma swept over and said dumbfoundedly: "What does this mean?!"

The male host's right side was Xia Yu's opponents in the quarterfinals of 16 and 8: Bernard, Tang Yuqiong.

This is Xia Yu's lineup of losers.

On the left hand side is Maas's lineup of losers:

A Nordic man with big braids.

A middle-aged woman from Egypt wearing a traditional white gauze dress and a silk turban.

These two losers commented on the teams, with clear age levels, just like the doubles in the first round of the A zone, it was a showdown between teenagers and middle-aged people.

There is no doubt that the comments are fanning the flames before the game and increasing the performance of the program.

The male host asked with a smile:

"Chef Bernard, we know that you are a special member of the French Academy team and lost to Xia Yu in the knockout round of 16 to 8. Now the Yuanyue team will face the Orlando team in the semi-finals of the semi-finals. The exact matchup has been reported in the field. In the first round, Xia Yu played against Maas... Do you think Xia Yu can still maintain his winning streak record and win the first victory for the Yuanyue team?"

The last half of the sentence is the point.

Bernard, who was named, had a calm face. Anyone who was exposed would be unhappy. He was well-nurtured and did not reveal it. He said lightly: "I think he will still maintain his winning streak."

"oh?"

The male host raised his eyebrows, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes, "Do you know that his opponent Maas is the vice president of Orlando College? It is a recognized giant in the American food industry."

"I know." Bernard remained unmoved and maintained his point of view. "No matter who the opponent is, I think he will win!"

Now, a group of Yuanyue graduates watching TV burst into laughter.

"Lecturer Xia is still amazing. His former defeated opponent was impressed by him!"

Gan Hinako held the star eyes tightly with her hands.

Yukihei Tsuma scratched his head and didn't know what to say.

On TV, even Tang Yuqiong looked at Bernard with surprise.

"Ahem!"

The male host smiled and looked at Tang Yuqiong and asked, "So, Chef Tang Yuqiong, what is your point of view?"

"I have nothing to say." Tang Yuqiong said deeply in the eye of the camera, "Everyone knows, the dish "Down's Reincarnation Spring Roll" I took out in the 8-to-4 knockout round? The reason why I specially added that kind of secret sauce is to add a layer of unreplicable personal attributes to the dish. Don't forget that he can copy it on the spot, improve the recipe, and underestimate him, he will definitely lose a lot!"

After being reminded, the male host's smile froze slightly.

I'm afraid that many viewers suddenly remembered Xia Yu's first stunning debut.

"So, Chef Andrew, Chef Cornis, what do you think?" The male host looked at the Maas loser on the left side.

The Nordic man with braids with Danish royal blood raised his face and said, "Maas cannot lose."

The beautiful Egyptian chef wearing a white gauze dress and a silk turban also nodded:

"I don't deny that the talent of player Xia Yu is, but he is young and probably hasn't played against some chefs with special means. Mas..."

The Egyptian female chef seemed to be jealous of Mas' identity. It is hard to say that Mas is a 'dark chef', but he just hinted with deep eyes: "Once he is serious, there is no possibility of losing."

"And I hope he can get serious," sighed the host, "I hope contestant Xia Yu can force him out of his forbidden dish!"

The two losers have their own opinions.

“Tao dishes?”

Yukihei Tsuma murmured.

"The main ingredients are...the taboo ingredients!"

Kojiro Shinomiya, who has passed the special assessment, took his eyes off the TV and said solemnly: "The so-called taboo ingredients are ingredients that are prohibited from being used in restaurants, hotels and other places for the public. Of course, this is just a layer of explanation. Most food halberds and competitions have explicit regulations that taboo ingredients should not be used without any use, but this international competition is different and there are no many rules and regulations."

"Senior Four Palaces, how do you think of the first round of showdown?" Yukihei Tsubasa was really curious.

"Oh!"

Kojiro Shinomiya shook his head, "Actually, I prefer Mas to win, and Instructor Xia lost."

Yukihei was silent, and the other graduates were also silent.

"Masruo takes out the taboo dishes, can you defeat it?"

At the same time, in the lounge hall in the backstage of the arena, Zhu Qing, Gin Dojima, and Ichiro Tsaibo surrounded the young chef who was about to appear.

Xia Yu just put down his cell phone.

The staff informed that the variety of ingredients he brought himself had passed the warehouse inspection and could be called at any time after he came on stage to determine the question.

"That's better, a confrontation between taboo dishes!"

Xia Yu stretched his waist and stood up, picked up the kitchen utensil box next to the single sofa, leaving Yuanyue and others with a relaxed and free back.

"This kid!"

Zhu Qing wrinkled and showed his teeth, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, he looks old-fashioned and confident. If he loses, he will step down and see that I won't beat you..."

"Miss Zhu, you'd better pray that he'd better not lose."

Gin Dojima smiled heartily and said: "No. 1 vs. No. 1, No. 2 vs. No. 2, No. 3 vs. No. 3... In such a matchup arrangement, the winner of each position is very critical. If he loses, our team's winning rate will fall again and again!"

"I won't take the blame." Zhu Qing said playfully, "It was him who demanded that he take the lead."

A group of people were speechless.

...

Da da da da da.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the silent passage.

Xia Yu's steps suddenly stopped.

"You're here."

Mas was waiting at the exit of the passage early, and the giant also carried a box in his hand, turned slowly, carefully looked at Xia Yu's face in the passage light, feeling familiar, "Talk about it, I haven't been to order food at your Xia restaurant for several months."

"Mr. Mas, you are a great customer. Xia's restaurant is welcome at any time!" Xia Yu chuckled.

"Well, Mr. Maas, let's talk about something..."

Xia Yu blinked and said in an attempt: "Can I throw a dart later and choose the topic?"

Upon hearing this, Mas was stunned for a while before looking deep, saying, "Chef Xia, I'm sorry, I don't think you are an easy opponent to defeat, so I have to be cautious and pay attention to every link."

"Let me leave the question to Miss Chiyo!"

After saying that, this big customer who had made Xia Yu look up and had to be carefully treated, stepped out of the passage and stepped onto the stage.
