Don't think the preliminary rules are easy.

First of all, it's not necessary whether you can make the dishes within the prescribed time. Secondly, there are 50 contestants in total, and ten of them should choose you.

For these two conditions alone, only 10 out of 50 people can be promoted. This requires 100 people. On average, 10 people can vote for one person. If they are scattered, none of them can be promoted.

Li Guan Shi and Gu's second master sat on the stage, and Li Guan Shi said a few opening words, then set off a long string of firecrackers, and the preliminary match would start.

It is said that several hundred or thousands of people signed up this time. After each competition, 50 people had to clean up the stove and replace a new batch of ingredients. It took some time before the new round started. Therefore, they could not finish the competition in one day, which was divided into two days.

Liu Xingmo and Lu Xiaohua draw lots for the eighth round of the first day. We can see the arrangement in the afternoon.

In the morning, Lu Xiaohua and Liu Xingmo went to watch other people's games to learn about the situation.

The worst thing should be the 50 people in the first group. Originally, nearly a thousand people signed up. It's impossible for all of them to have good cooking skills. Most of them are playing with water or making up for numbers. In addition, the first group didn't know the rules very well.

They either choose the ingredients for a long time, or they can't burn them. Because they are unfamiliar or nervous, they are in a hurry. When the time comes, at least half of them are not well done. Even if the remaining half is finished, the degree of completion is very poor.

In the end, no one in the first group got more than ten, and the whole group was eliminated.

Sometimes, the primary, the preliminary, is the cruelest stage.

The second group learned from the first group, the situation is better, at least not so chaotic, but a group of 50 people, a total of 100 points, it is not easy to have a very concentrated on one person, in addition to strength also need luck... The second group is still not promoted.

Lu Xiaohua has been watching every contestant on stage.

Her current message is that the Li family has prepared three people to win the competition and enter the imperial city of Shangjing. Her father-in-law told her that. However, from Gu Yu and Gu Cheng, she knows that there are other big men who have also appointed people. Their goal is to enter the Imperial City, including the unknown Prince Fu.

She did not know why a group of people broke their heads to enter the imperial city. What's good about the imperial palace?

She was not interested in the imperial palace. Even if she was a little curious, she was only disgusted by these people. But the Imperial Palace, the Li family, Gu family, and the later Prince Fu seemed to have everything to do with the dark. The best way to find out Wuning's sister and the younger son of the river Castle leader was to get involved.

It's just that people are selfish. She originally wanted to find a more secure way, instead of standing on the stage with Liu Xingmo as a living target.

One of the reasons that forced her to make up her mind was that she found that her husband's real identity seemed to have something to do with these people.

Second, she was forced by her father-in-law. The content of the letter he gave her made her afraid.

Dout's mother is very annoying.

Lu Xiaohua has been watching for a long time, but she can't see which of these people are related to the forces behind them.

Eye pain of low head, Lu Xiaohua gave up so no clues, no target to find, look at these faces to see her to vomit.

Turning her head, she found that Liu Xingmo's face was not very good-looking: "a Xing, what's the matter?"

"Sister Lu, I, I'm a little nervous. What if we get brushed off in the preliminary contest?" Liu Xingmo's hands pinched each other, and his fingers turned white.

Lu Xiaohua recalled that now there are four groups. Only the third group and the fourth group are promoted to two. That is to say, only four people are promoted after two hundred.

It's really cruel. For Liu Xingmo, who has just stepped into the culinary industry and has never had such experience, it's terrible. It's normal to be nervous and worried.

"Nothing," Lu Xiaohua holding Liu Xingmo's hand, found that the little girl's hands are ice, "don't think so much, whether promoted or not, it's good for us."

Liu Xingmo looks at her with a puzzled head.

Lu Xiaohua said with a smile: "you think, it's good to be promoted. After all, this is our goal. If we don't get promoted, it means that we don't have to do any more things, and the danger has nothing to do with us. It should be a warning from God that we should not get involved. Do you think that's the reason? "

Liu Xingmo couldn't help laughing: "it sounds like a crooked theory."

"Oh, I'm so bold. How dare I say that your sister Lu is wrong?" Lu Xiaohua pretends to be angry and wants to settle accounts with her. Liu Xingmo quickly surrenders to beg for mercy and says good things.

By her sister Lu, Liu Xingmo is less nervous and more relaxed.

In the afternoon, "good mood" was closed, and the shop assistants came to see the competition to cheer Liu Xingmo and Lu Xiaohua.

Liu Xingmo was still very nervous when he went up with the same group of players. Fifty people said more or less, and everyone crowded together in the place where the ingredients were put.And most of the chefs are men, who are in front of the two of them. They can't squeeze people, so how can they get the food materials? Although the food materials are well prepared, they will be given some leftovers in the end, but the leftovers are not necessarily what they can use.

Liu Xingmo looks at the men in front of her. She can only bite her lower lip anxiously. Her childhood education has made her unable to squeeze into the crowd of men like a shrew, and she can only watch them anxiously outside.

As her assistant, Lu Xiaohua is still a big bellied woman, and it's impossible to squeeze... Thinking of Lu Xiaohua, Liu Xingmo looks at Lu Xiaohua busily. Someone just stepped back and almost bumped into them.

But what she saw was that Lu Xiaohua was standing beside her at ease, not only not nervous, but also yawned. When she saw her, she even gave her a smile.

Liu Xingmo

She couldn't lift her nervousness any more.

Most of the people quickly choose the food and leave, and the position is empty for them. Liu Xingmo looks at the leftover food and the mess of the food, and looks helplessly at Lu Xiaohua.

With one hand support, Lu Xiaohua calmly said to Liu Xingmo, "every dish, no matter it is simple or complex, has its own reason for existence. It's not that how many ingredients are put into it is victory. If it's well done, a dish of cabbage is better than a pot of stew."

Many players are afraid that the ingredients are not enough, so they have to pick up a pile every time. But there are rules in the competition, and they have to use all the ingredients. This is to avoid which player will empty all the ingredients.
