Because Liu Maoxing worked tirelessly to "preach" to Nakiri Thistle, many folk restaurants knew his philosophy...

That is to say, turn the cooking world into a unified big machine, and only the "recognized" dishes serve as "engines" to innovate. Others act as gears and fuels, using the formula provided by the "engines" to prohibit gears and fuels, and all forms of independent innovation, in order to save the "engines"'s time and resources!

Perhaps in the impression of Nakiri Thistle, the real chefs he "recognized" can devote themselves to the exploration of cooking, while those fake chefs who only know how to produce feed can completely copy the recipes of real chefs and deal with diners...

Because Liu Maoxing helped him "preach" and Nakiri Thistle had not yet shown his ambitions, many people knew his ideas.

The most important thing is that Liu Maoxing said completely that the announcement was just wrong, so Nakiri Thistle could not refute it at all. Otherwise, when the time comes, he would have no reason to implement these things!

Therefore, many folk restaurants have quite an opinion on Nakiri thistle...

The atmosphere in the No. 1 competition area after the start of the preliminary round was much more tense than Liu Maoxing imagined. It seemed that for these seed players, the preliminary round was a test for themselves. As for the final... they were just here to show the signature ramen in their shop, but they were not that nervous.

Liu Masae looked at Erina and then looked at Kamazu. Similarly, Erina and Kamazu had a bet, and Gin Dojima also acted as a witness...

Afterwards, Liu Maoxing took out the wheat flour he prepared and... lotus petals and lotus leaves!

"The preliminaries are three hours, and it's still plenty. Let's make up the noodles first and then prepare the soup ingredients." Liu Maoxing said to himself.

Liu Maoxing poured a bag of flour into the basin and then added water. However, what is a little concerned is that the water seems to be a little red, or a faint orange-yellow...

Of course, according to the rules, the water is at most shallowly processed, or the product of shallow processing is added, and it cannot be a broth or something like that...

At this time, many people were quietly observing Liu Maoxing. After all, three hours were a lot of time, and they also had time to see what Liu Maoxing was doing.

When he saw him take out a short stick as thick as a thumb, many people looked puzzled. When he saw him pinching one end of the short stick with his thumb, index finger and ring finger, and reaching the other end into the basin, most of them didn't know what he was going to do.

And when he saw that he had only his wrists moving and wanted to play with his children, he used a short stick to "work" in the basin, he was even more inconspicuous...

On the contrary, among the judges, an older gourmet, who looks like he is a 60-70-year-old foodie ramen, and a master of "Qianwei Ramen", seemed to realize something, and his expression became a little solemn.

As for Gin Doshima, he curled his lips slightly, which was not surprising...

At this time, Liu Maoxing's arm gradually raised, and from the mouth of the basin, a circle of "white shadows" could be seen in a long snake shape, turning with the short rod.

Before everyone could see clearly, Liu Maoxing suddenly spread his arms and shook his arms, pinching the short rod, passing over his head, drawing a high arc!

The original flour and water in the basin have become a dough at some point. One end is wrapped around the head of the short stick, and accompanied by the trajectory drawn by Liu Maoxing, it flew to the table like a long snake...

The short rod shook a few more times as it fell from the basin and fell on the counter. I saw that the surface that had already appeared as a long snake-shaped surface, which was already like the freezing point of ice cream, circling upwards on the counter!

White dragon and snake practice!

Use the power of "circle" to change the "face" and "water" in a short time and become the optimal toughness state in your mind.

Moreover, this time Liu Maoxing used the kneaded noodles and rolled them on the short rod when they were rotated, and "pulled" the entire noodles onto the table.

"Hmm? It's just a little trick to knead. Do you need to be so surprised?" Liu Maoxing said with a smiley face that made people want to punch him.

Not to mention the other contestants around him who were sneaking around him, even the audience who were watching the broadcast screen could not help but exclaim...

When Liu Maoxing was halfway through the dating, the cameraman gave him a close-up. The audience clearly saw how "flour" and "water" rotated under Liu Maoxing's short rod, and also saw the dating surface. Under the short rod, it seemed like a python was rotating in the basin, and finally it was driven to hover on the table!

Even in the judges' seat, several judges showed surprise to varying degrees and focused their attention on Liu Maoxing.

The oldest gourmet, Masato Asai, couldn't help but say when he saw this scene: "Is this... Could this Liu Maoxing be the descendant of that master?"

"Well? Mr. Asai, which master are you talking about? Have you seen such a... kneading trick before?" Another gourmet Toshihiko Takasugi couldn't help asking, and gritted her teeth and attributed this to "kneading trick".

"Nothing, you probably don't know... It's a pastry master in the Dragon Chef Alliance."

At this time, Gin Doshima said, "It would be too early to be shocked now."

"Oh? Dojima is so confident in his juniors?"

"You will know why right away..."

Liu Maoxing did not care about the surrounding gaze at this time, but continued to knead the "block" dough a few times to make it no longer striped. He divided the dough into two parts, wrapped the lotus petals that had been prepared before on the large dough, then wrapped them tightly with lotus leaves, tied them with a thin rope rubbed by sisal, and finally rolled the other small dough into skin and wrapped them outside the lotus leaves...

Afterwards, the dough was left aside and Liu Maoxing started working hard on the side.

At this time, the pot used by Liu Maoxing was also a little concerned. The pot was brought by himself, and it looked like it was a closed structure similar to a pressure cooker...

After Liu Maoxing first took water inside, he put various spices and bay leaves into the pot, and then covered it with a lid.

At the same time, for some reason, Liu Maoxing's pressure cooker actually needs to be connected to the power supply and cooked on the stove fire...

Usually, pressure cookers are divided into open flame heating type and electric heating type, but no one has seen these types of electricity and fire use at the same time.

Erina just kneaded the "special" dough, glanced at Liu Maoxing's direction, and found that the pot also had the logo of "Yuyue International"...

"Yuanyue International" does not sell products, but only technology, which means that this pot should be a "Yuanyue International" test product!

Three hours passed by little by little, and the contestants from each competition area showed their abilities...

In addition to the No. 1 competition area, there are also many dark horses in other competition areas, especially this year, because of the annual participation of Yuanyue Academy, there are far more amazing dark horses in each competition area than I imagined!

The rule of the competition is that after three hours, the judges in each competition area will start to taste one by one according to the number, rather than who makes it first and who tastes whose first, and will not start to taste before the three-hour time limit.

But for the players, this is not a problem...

Because the limited dishes are ramen, there is obviously no strict "best tasting period"!

Just like in a ramen shop, after the customer ordered the ramen, the ramen chef started to cook the noodles, then put the cooked noodles in a bowl, poured hot soup, put the toppings, and then presented it to the guests...

During the three hours, the contestants only need to prepare the noodles, soup, and toppings. After that, when the ramen of several contestants in front of them are tasted, they can start to ramen, cook noodles, pour soup, and put toppings. When it is their turn, they can serve the ramen to judge, just like in a ramen shop.

This is why, every competition area can squeeze so many people...

"Time is up! Please stop the processing of soup and toppings on the opposite side. You can choose to start the last ramen and dress up at the appropriate time..."

As soon as three hours arrived, the broadcast sound rang in ten competition areas at the same time.

Because there are a lot of people in each competition area, except for only 100 in the first competition area, there are three or four hundred people in other competition areas. In addition to the judges waiting for tasting in the judges' seats, there are also referees who move in the competition area to avoid players using prohibited highly finished products, or when the time comes, they also add seasonings to the soup and process the toppings.

In addition to the No. 1 competition area, the review process of the other nine competition areas is also different...

The No. 1 competition area starts with the No. 1 contestant, and presents five ramen to the five judges in turn, and then the judges give their opinions on whether they pass.

In the second to tenth competition areas, there are five contestants in groups, and they present ramen to the five judges. If the judges think that the ramen they taste "may pass" or "close to pass", the corresponding contestants will submit four more copies, and the five judges will discuss whether to pass...

Of course, it is not because the judges in the nine competition areas behind were not serious, but to quickly eliminate those players who were playing soybeans!

In fact, as long as you are a little more outstanding, you can enter the stage of collective taste...

"Player No. 1 is asked to present the ramen, and the contestants behind will grasp the time for the ramen to dress themselves."

In the No. 1 competition area, accompanied by the sound of the radio, the first contestant presented ramen... This is a contestant from a ramen restaurant on Ramen Street in Sapporo.

Liu Maoxing is No. 100, Erina No. 99, and Kasu No. 98.

This sorting is obviously meaningful and takes into account ornamentality.
