But the more Bai Qiyun deliberately avoided it, the more energetic Hu Tao became. In the end, the girl almost shouted into the boy's ear.

The girl's hot breath blew onto Bai Qiyun's ears, making them wet and a little itchy.

"Ah, ah, ah, I heard it, stop shouting."

The walnut behind him was almost sticking to his back. Bai Qiyun really had no choice but to turn around and look at the unhappy girl in front of him.

"So, what's the matter?"

Bai Qiyun's response did not make Hutao stop. The girl ducked past him and rushed towards Xiangling who also covered her ears as if she didn't exist.

A pair of small white hands attached themselves to the cook's waist and twisted slightly.

"Alas!"

A slight pain came from her waist, causing Xiangling to cry out.

Knowing that she had also been exposed, she could only turn around in embarrassment and scratch her head.

"Hehe...Wutao..."

"Huh, you two, are you pretending not to see me on purpose?"

Looking at the two guys in front of him, Hu Tao was furious.

Even though he said hello like that, he still ignored her, how disgusting.

"Yes, you are right."

But what made him even more angry was Bai Qiyun's nonchalant attitude.

As if he was not wrong at all, he admitted it with a shy face.

But just before Hu Tao was about to explode, Bai Qiyun interrupted her next action.

"Rather than this, shouldn't you pay more attention to the competition? Look, there is one less judge because of someone's cooking."

The young man pointed at the judges who were carried away by the medical staff, leaving Hutao speechless for a while.

Well, she did something wrong indeed.

She hooked her fingers, her eyes wandering.

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

The little girl is so easy to fool, just changing the topic will distract her attention.

"But it's really amazing. The first person to be eliminated was not the contestant, but the judges."

Seeing that one person was missing from the commentary box, Bai Qiyun felt deeply about Hu Tao's dark cooking ability.

To be honest, if those judges could fall for the trick, then he would probably fall in without any defense.

"Well..."

When Bai Qiyun made such a joke, Hu Tao's already a little embarrassed face turned red.

The girl stamped her feet fiercely, as if she wanted to convey her dissatisfaction to the stone bricks under her feet.

"Well, the results of the competition seem to have come out."

At this time, the situation on the field changed, and the originally turbulent commentary box had calmed down again.

Except for Hutao, the other teams all stood at the same position they had lined up before.

Their dishes are now placed on the table in front of the judges, waiting for the final score.

It's just that the place where the ten teams originally stood is now vacant, which looks a bit eye-catching.

But neither the players nor the judges had any intention of letting the person return to his original position and wait for the score to be announced, as if they were tacitly admitting that the person had been eliminated.

Hutao is also aware of this.

That's why she is hanging out with Bai Qiyun now, not caring about her own competition results.

However, originally she was just participating in the Moon Festival activities to experience the atmosphere. It would be great if she could be recognized by others and increase the reputation of the Rebirth Hall.

But looking at her current appearance, she still hoped not to be recognized.

"The one who advanced this round is——Team No. 93!"

Surprisingly, the one who made the cut was not a team of professional chefs, but a young man with messy hair.

A simple single coat, looking a little thin in the bleak autumn morning.

The black hair is slightly messy, and the bangs cover his broad forehead.

The moment he heard the news that he had been promoted, he immediately shouted excitedly.

"Okay!"

Compared with him, the other people looked more or less unwilling.

There is nothing we can do about it, picking one out of ten is so cruel.

"Get ready, the next round will be ours."

Watching the players in the first group exit, Bai Qiyun moved his hands and feet, and Yandora was also released from the backpack, which shocked the people around them and gave way to a few people.

"Hoho~ there's actually a little guy."

Hu Tao, who was naturally adventurous, saw Yandora for the first time, his eyes lit up, and his hands gradually became restless.

"Since you are interested, please help me take care of her first."

Bai Qiyun thought about it for a while and decided that it would be better not to bring Yan Duo into the competition, because it would easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Eh? Really?"

"really."

Although it was a bit immoral, Bai Qiyun still pushed the reluctant Yan Duola into Hu Tao's hand.

Maybe the little guy also knows that he is not suitable to play with him, so he can only stay in Hutao's arms at this time.

"Let's go."

After arranging the pure water elves, Bai Qiyun took Xiang Ling, who was full of energy, onto the playing field.

——————

Loud, noisy, and...oppressive.

This was Bai Qiyun's first feeling when he stood on the field.

Although ten teams just left the field, there are still twenty teams waiting for the game and watching everyone on the field.

The judges in front of them all had serious faces after being ‘eliminated’ by the personnel.

They are afraid that they will be carried away next.

There were four judges sitting in front of Bai Qiyun. There were originally five, but now one has been removed.

The competition scoring system adopts a hundred-point system, each judge has twenty-five points, and the one with the highest total score in each round is qualified to advance.

By the way, the score of the boy who just advanced is 87 points.

"The competition time is forty minutes, the topic is still Kung Pao Chicken, and the required time is to make ten servings or more."

As the examiner announced the start of the competition, Bai Qiyun immediately plunged into the long career of searching for raw materials.

The ingredients of Kung Pao Chicken can be varied. You can use chicken breast or chicken legs. The auxiliary ingredients can be the most traditional green onions and ginger, or you can add carrots and cucumbers. What's more, you can also use new almonds and cashews.

The variety of choices naturally comes from the differentiation of types of dishes.

"So what should we do?"

Until now, Bai Qiyun has not been able to reach an agreement with Xiang Ling.

This is also the biggest pain point of multi-person team formation.

It’s very uncomfortable when the members of the team can’t work together.

"Well... just use the simplest way. You make five portions and I make five portions. No one has to cooperate with the other."

At first glance, Xiangling's method sounds a bit ridiculous, but neither the rules nor the judges say that the taste of the ten portions must be the same.
