Chapter 1074

The second round of the autumn selection—Yang Ming prefers to call it the semifinals—officially kicked off a week after the first round.

Between the moon and the sky became lively again, and the venue that usually looked lonely because of its spaciousness was actually crowded with people, and there were no seats left.

The urgency that is completely different from the usual atmosphere made the audience in the stands a little bit quieter.But they couldn't help it. The front of the auditorium was already full of elites from the culinary world. Their expressions of sitting upright in formal attire made the competition more serious.

"A lot of chefs and celebrities came this time..."

"I heard that the students in this year's class are particularly outstanding, so everyone came here to have a look."

A genius is an existence that can only be seen in the distance but not pursued.

Whether you feel unwilling or bitter, you have to admit that it only takes a little time to surpass the culinary skills you are proud of——

Heaven's Pride.

Yuanyue Academy is the top culinary school in Japan, among which the most dazzling Yuanyue Shijie is a genius that is difficult to catch up in the eyes of ordinary people.

As for the four standing in the semi-finals of the autumn selection, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are the reserve players of the Top Ten.Seeing them, one seems to see Yuanyue's future, and a microcosm of the future pinnacle of the culinary world.

Yang Ming was sitting in the players' lounge, his relaxed mood during previous games turned out to be a little nervous, and it was true, this game was different from the past after all, whether it was the audience or the opponent.

Participated in so many competitions, and the usual cooking competitions are also of a large scale. The chefs who have experienced this kind of swords and swords naturally have their own ways to calm down.

And Yang Ming's solution is... to sharpen the knife.

I saw him sitting quietly on the chair, putting the azure whetstone he took out from the package on the table in front of him, slowly and freely pushing the dragon-slaying knife across the whetstone sprinkled with water, like A musician playing a violin.

After a while, the tip of Tulong's knife seemed to be reborn, shining with a frightening silver light. Yang Ming squinted his eyes and looked at the blade against the light. Will the sharp blade cut his skin.

It seemed that he was still not satisfied with the condition of the blade. Yang Ming continued to sprinkle some water and continued to sharpen it slowly. The first match was Ye Shanliang against Nakiri Alice, and it was his turn in the second match, which was still very early. .

On the TV in the lounge, you can watch the live broadcast, but he doesn't want to watch it.

Many chefs are now ditching whetstones in favor of something as quick and easy as a knife sharpener.However, it is difficult to adjust the angle of the knife sharpener, which wears down the kitchen knife a lot, so Yang Ming still insists on this simple and traditional way.

"Speaking of which, Xinghei seems to be using a whetstone too." He also brought the whetstone from his home to Yuanyueli. After watching him compete last time, he deliberately sharpened the knife again.

In fact, the level of a chef can be glimpsed from his attitude towards the kitchen knife in his hand.

Yang Ming slowly sharpened the knife in his hand, but the thoughts in his mind didn't stop for a moment, he was still rapidly calculating the cooking process to be done later.Even now, the seasoning and process of the dishes have not been fully determined, and every second that passes, he will think of new ideas.

Spices, heat, technique, knife work... Any slight change will cause a series of small changes, and the qualitative changes caused by the accumulation of these small changes will completely transform a dish into another.

Unfamiliar question...

strong opponent...

tight time...

That's it... Let's give it a go, surpass the past self, and the past recipes, one by one...

"As early as three days ago, I prepared the ingredients, all of which were the best of the same type that I asked Mito and Erina to get."

"Because the seasoning sold in the market is not very good, so I also prepared the seasoning myself, and it took two full days to prepare it.

"The Dragon Slayer has also been sharpened, so it should be easy to cut later."

"I've done my best, and the rest is up to fate."

At this time, exclamations and noises could be faintly heard from outside the door. Yang Ming guessed that the result of the match outside should have come to an end.

"Hi! Are you Yang Ming?" After knocking on the door twice, the staff member turned off the handle and shouted into the room, "Please get ready, the competition will start soon."

Yang Ming opened his mouth, and resisted asking how the result of the match outside was.

"Okay." Yang Ming gently wiped Tulong clean, put it back into the original leather case, and packed the water bottle and whetstone, "I'll be there right away."

........................

"Oh! Come out!" Yang Ming had just walked out of the contestant passage when he heard the audience in the stands shouting his name loudly, as if trying to get his attention.

"It's Senior Yang Ming!!"

Feeling that countless familiar eyes were watching him, Yang Ming paused, pressed Tu Long lightly, and continued walking.

Xing Ping Chuangzhen walked over from the entrance at the other end. Now he can experience the feeling of Misaku Subaru back then. Even though both of them are on the field, the audience are all shouting Yang Ming's name, um... a little embarrassing ah.

However, he was obviously not that sticky about these things. The two walked to the center of the venue, and Xing Ping Chuangzhen greeted Yang Ming first.

"how do you feel?"

"not bad."

"Then I'm really looking forward to it..." Xing Ping Chuangzhen realized that he felt the long-lost excitement from Yang Ming.

"Well, in this match, either you die or I live." Yang Ming smiled, and tied his long black hair behind with a headband to prevent it from getting in the way later.

"Of course!" Xing Ping Chuangzhen replied bluntly, but just after he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong, "...how do you feel that according to what you said, I seem to be dead anyway?"

"Hahahahahaha..." The audience in the audience also laughed together. The two sides in the previous match had never had such a good atmosphere for chatting.

"Okay..." On the platform between the moon and the sky, where the judges were sitting, Dojima Gin stood up in a formal suit with a microphone in his hand.

Yang Ming hadn't noticed it before, and only then did he realize that the judges on the judging table at this time were no longer the first round of judges headed by Commander Nakiri. Several graduates of Yuanyue Academy.

Seeing Yang Ming looking towards them, Gan Ri Xiangzi smiled and waved to him.

"Yuanyue Academy's autumn selection, the second round of the second round, Xingping Chuangzhen will face Yang Ming!"

"The title is 'A Western-style main dish'. "

"Cooking—start!"
