Lyon, France, September 18.

This season, you can see warmth everywhere, with convex and convex beauty in your eyes, adding a bit of hot atmosphere to this world-famous food capital.

At around 10 a.m., shops on the street began to open one after another. There were not many vehicles on the side of the road and pedestrians were fragmented. This was the appearance of most European cities. Relatively speaking, the pace of China's cities was a little too fast.

Mu Xiao and Lu Yi made an appointment to set off from Yanjing together. When they arrived in Lyon, they had already missed the opening ceremony of the World Cooking Competition.

They bought joint tickets and could enter the venue to watch the opening ceremony, preliminaries, quarterfinals 16 knockout match, quarterfinals 8 chef king competition, and the final top three are eligible to participate in the Dragon List Chef God Challenge, which is the Dragon List Chef God Certificate Qualification Assessment.

However, even though they did not come to the scene in person, they still turned on the online video software on their mobile phones, which provided live broadcast of the opening ceremony.

The popularity of more than five million means that at least two hundred people will watch the opening ceremony online.

The female host who hosted the opening ceremony was the host of a food program on French National Television. She was named Hillary Lily. She was tall, wearing a purple dress, with heavy makeup on her face, charming eyes, charming eyes, and a loud and magnetic voice.

"Today, top chefs from all over the world gather in Lyon, the food capital, and they will bring a top taste bud feast with their superb cooking skills.

Next, please invite Sherwood, President of the International Culinary Association, to go on stage to deliver an opening speech."

Sherwood was not very tall, only about 1.7 meters tall, with silver hair all over his head. He picked up the speech on the podium, took a rough look, put it next to him, pulled out the microphone, and walked to the center of the stage.

"The World Cooking Competition has been held for more than 80 years, and I have the honor to experience it four times. When I first participated in the competition, I was an audience and supporter. At that time, my master, Mr. Omeyang, achieved the second place on this stage, and was also awarded the title of the Dragon List Chef God by the International Cooking Association.

The second time I was lucky enough to participate in the competition as a contestant and competed with chefs from all over the world. In the end, I won the first place. Then I joined the International Cooking Association and worked for more than 30 years, from a chef to a food promotion staff member.

I have said so much to tell everyone that our competition is of inheritance. Everyone in the entire venue may become me in the future.

It is a wonderful thing to spread food all over the world. I hope our team will grow bigger and bigger. I hope that our competition will launch some unprecedented foods to bring good news to food lovers around the world.

Next, I announce that this World Cooking Competition has officially started.”

After Sherwood stepped down, host Hillary Lily walked onto the stage and said with a smile: "Next, please invite the contestants to go on stage and issue a fair game statement. He is Pulitzer from Lyon, France."

Pulitzer wore a black suit, a white shirt and leather shoes on his feet. Unlike most European chefs, he maintained his body shape very well. Although he was in his fifties, he looked very young, about forty years old.

Applause and whistles came from the crowd below, which showed that his popularity and influence were extraordinary.

Many people believe that Pulitzer will be Sherwood's successor, he will win this culinary competition, join the International Culinary Association, take over the position of president, and become a banner figure in the development of world culinary in the next ten to twenty years.

Mei Ling glanced at Qiao Zhi beside him. He looked at Pulitzer with expressionless eyes.

"What? Feeling

Is it stressed?"

Qiao Zhi said lightly: "How can you be motivated without pressure? However, his pressure should be greater than mine."

"Hmm? What do you say?"

"I am only in my twenties, and he is fifty. From the perspective of mentality, he will be more afraid of failure than me. Even if I lose now, I can still make a comeback. But if he loses, he will not only lose the future, but also lose the fame, status and influence he has accumulated over the years."

Mei Ling has to admit that Qiao Zhi's analysis of Pulitzer's mentality is very accurate.

Qiao Zhi smiled at Mei Ling, "Sorry, what I said just now seems to be a little too inflated. Pulitzer still has many advantages."

Mei Ling said: "This is not called expansion, but having strength and confidence."

Mei Ling felt that Qiao Zhi was different today, and it should be affected by Sun Shichao's injury.

His eyes were bright and the fighting spirit revealed was even more obvious.

Pulitzer stood under the light, holding the manuscript prepared by the organizing committee, and said in great relaxation: "Hello everyone, I am Pulitzer, a contestant from Lyon.

Today there were contestants from all over the world. As the host, I am fortunate to speak on behalf of all contestants here.

On behalf of all the players, I promise that I will devote myself to this competition with the greatest enthusiasm, and explore more secrets of food with the spirit of friendship first and competition second.

Thank you everyone!”

Pulitzer didn't say much, he said concisely, and he walked off the stage and welcomed cheers.

Pulitzer sat in his seat and shrank his smile just now.

The applause was thunderous, that was just a manifestation.

Among those people in the audience, many, especially those players, hope to defeat themselves.

Pulitzer is a battle-hardened warrior. He has participated in various types of competitions, so he has rich experience.

Although there are many experts, he firmly believes that as long as he is good at being himself, he can stand out.

Preliminaries, knockout matches, and chef matches are not his goals.

He wants to pass this opportunity to reach the sky in one step and get the title of the Dragon List Chef God.

The Dragon List Chef God is the highest honor in the chef industry, which is equivalent to "lifelong achievement".

Once the chef receives this title, the name will be forever engraved on the glorious list of world cooking history.

After Pulitzer's speech, local government officials also came to the stage to express their gratitude.

So many top chefs gather in Lyon, which is the political achievement of the local government. Recently, there have been more than 60,000 tourists from all over the world. Although many people have not had the opportunity to watch the competition on site, they are all affected by the activities and experience the food journey of the world's food capital.

The opening ceremony finally came to an end. The qualifiers are about to begin in the afternoon. Forty players are divided into four groups. The group qualifiers will be ranked in the top four, enter the quarterfinals, and then compete for eight people to enter the Chef King Championship.

Only the top three can be qualified for the Dragon List Chef God title battle.

In other words, this competition not only has high specifications, tight schedules, strong opponents, but also has many events, with four games played in less than a week.

Qiao Zhi suddenly stood up and was about to leave. Pulitzer walked towards Qiao Zhi from a distance.

"Hello, Qiao Zhi! Welcome to Lyon and look forward to meeting you in the game." Pulitzer smiled and showed the demeanor of a master.

Qiao Zhi shook hands with Pulitzer, "The game is full of suspense, and no one knows what will happen next. I hope to see you in the knockout stage."

Pulitzer was stunned, and Qiao Zhi's words were very aggressive.

This sentence has two meanings. First, Qiao Zhi may be pre-selected

Failing the game in the game is of course also a hint that Pulitzer should not fail in the qualifiers.

"Since that's the case, we all have to work hard and we can't even advance to the qualifiers."

"As a junior, I started a low start and won a game, that would make a profit. However, for you, if you lose a game, it would be a joke."

"You are very good at psychological warfare." Pulitzer still maintained a good demeanor.

"I like to tell the truth." Qiao Zhi's tone was calm.

Pulitzer looked for Qiao Zhi alone, obviously putting pressure on Qiao Zhi.

Qiao Zhi didn't need to be led by Pulitzer, he needed to let Pulitzer know that he was not afraid of him.

There was a strong smell of gunpowder between Qiao Zhi and Pulitzer, which naturally attracted the attention of everyone present.

Everyone was curious about the first off-court clash of the first place in Europe and Asia.

Pulitzer left, Qiao Zhi and others walked out of the hall side by side.

Mei Ling whispered: "I thought you would deliberately pretend to be timid when you talk to Pulitzer."

Qiao Zhi smiled faintly, "It's nothing wrong to do things in a low-key manner, but you have to distinguish the occasion. So many shots were facing me just now. If I pretended to be timid, wouldn't it destroy the prestige of our country? I'm very frank about my reputation, but the image of the country cannot be insulted."

Tang Qi was excited when he heard it next to him, "Yes, he has a good sense of enlightenment. We fight for the country, so we must not let those foreigners look down upon it."

Qiao Zhi sighed softly and sighed: "Plitzer should be very miserable next!"

Mei Ling looked at Qiao Zhi in surprise, "What do you say?"

Qiao Zhi patiently analyzed, "Is the opening ceremony live broadcast just now? Pulitzer, as a representative of the contestants, must have attracted a lot of attention. After the opening ceremony, there must be still cameras working, so the scene of him walking in front of me and greeting me must have fallen into the eyes of many people."

Mei Ling looked at Qiao Zhi in surprise, "What do you mean is to use cyber violence skillfully?"

Qiao Zhi shrugged: "The main Internet trolls don't know the truth and are easily led by rhythm. If someone spreads it, Pulitzer's suppression of young chefs from China will definitely arouse the anger of domestic netizens."

Mei Ling couldn't help laughing, "It's so vicious. He does have a bit of a provocative intention, but it's not like suppression."

Qiao Zhi sighed, "I also know that Pulitzer doesn't need to suppress me, a young newcomer. But those netizens don't know the truth. Why did Pulitzer come to talk to me after the opening ceremony? This obviously treats me as a thorn in his eyes."

Tang Qi was worried that Qiao Zhi was unbalanced, so he touched his nose and quickly patiently explained: "Plitzer only values ​​you and recognizes your strength. Of course, his attitude just now was a bit arrogant. However, after all, he is older and is your senior."

Qiao Zhi said seriously: "Of course I won't have too many ideas, but I don't care, others will care. People's words are terrifying, but the Internet trolls can't spare him! Alas, Pulitzer was even more verbalized by Chinese netizens, and it's nothing big. As long as he doesn't travel or do business in China in the future, it should be nothing."

Mei Ling smiled at Tang Qi's corner and shook her eyes.

Tang Qi suddenly realized.

Qiao Zhi’s meaning is obvious, and he is clearly trying to pour sewage on his opponent!

As expected, the "silver coin style" is still the same as before!

The competition is so cruel - the competition is on stage to compete for strength and the thinking is off stage.

As the host, Pulitzer has all the "right of time and place" and must not allow him to take advantage of "harmony of people".
Chapter completed!
