"I don't know how many points I can get. I don't want more, as long as I can be in the top 100!"
"The stricter the scoring, the better. I'm definitely in the top ten!"
The surrounding contestants were all whispering. The first score was so low, which frightened some people and made some people more motivated. Some experienced people shook their heads secretly.
Gu Zheng was also sighing. He had also had several judging experiences, all of which were small food competitions. With his qualifications and age, it was impossible for him to serve as a judge for big competitions.
The little judge is also a judge, and he understands some of the judges' hearts.
With so many people competing, the score for the first one sent up will definitely be much stricter. Unless you are the first one to have incredible taste, it will have some impact on the score. Because you are the first one, the score is too high, and there will be more after that.
The ones that taste better are harder to score, so the first one is usually scored lower to make it easier to score in subsequent games.
If it were Gu Zheng, even if his food was delicious, he wouldn't compete for first place like this.
But no matter what, the first place finally appeared. Six points and three points is not high, but it passed anyway. There is still a glimmer of hope to advance, although the hope is very low.
The second cook had already served the dishes, and many people who were talking stopped and stared at the judges.
Rinse, prepare, taste, score.
The judges were doing their work in an orderly manner, and everyone else's eyes were looking at the big screen. This time, No. 13 was scored, and No. 13's final score was 6.7 points.
6.7 is still in the range of six points, but it is 0.4 points better than the first one.
The second contestant who finished the game breathed a sigh of relief and didn't leave even after he walked out. He also had to wait for the final result. To be honest, at around six o'clock, he was not very sure and didn't know if he could stay in the top ten.
The third and fourth were quickly prepared and almost brought over together.
The third one scored 5.7 points and the fourth one scored 7.1 points.
Two consecutive scores immediately made the outside lively again. One is the current lowest score, the other is the current highest score. Both the five-point and seven-point categories appear. The average score can reach seven points, which shows that this person
The food he cooked must taste better than the others. Gu Zheng noticed that this person was cooking the famous West Lake vinegar fish in Hangzhou cuisine. The fish was marinated in advance.
Gu Zheng doesn't know how it tastes, but most of the judges in the preliminary round are locals from Hangzhou, so Hangzhou cuisine will definitely get extra points.
This can be regarded as an unfairness, but this kind of unfairness exists everywhere. Since Hangzhou is the host, the people here must have an advantage, not to mention one city or one place, even between countries.
In this way, if we hold the Olympic Games, all parties will definitely choose the side that is beneficial to us first.
As the end of the competition approached, more and more people prepared their own delicacies and presented them to the judges for tasting.
The judges will only take one bite of each dish, a small bite, and absolutely no more. There are too many people participating in the competition today. If everyone eats more, their stomachs will not be able to finish.
Various scores have also begun to appear, but the six-point and seven-point grades are the most common. Currently, the highest score is 7.9 points, and the lowest score is 4.3 points. There is no one who has broken through to eight points, but those with more than four points are basically OK.
After leaving, judging from the current scoring situation, it is impossible for them to stay in the top 100 in the end.
"time up!"
A staff member came out and shouted, and everyone stopped except for two people. Those two people didn't control the time well, and they didn't come out until the end, and their results were invalidated.
Twenty-five people, one unlucky person, one who failed by himself, two who failed to finish, a total of four people who had no results. In terms of proportion, this proportion is not small, but this is only the first preliminary round, the first preliminary round, this kind of
There will definitely continue to be cases of failure, and it is estimated that the overall number will not be small.
The remaining twenty-one people were scored one after another, and everyone's scores soon came out.
Twenty-one people, the highest score was 8.0 points and the lowest score was 4.1 points. Both the highest and lowest scores were exceeded. At the same time, the first eight-point bracket appeared. Although it was 8.0 points, it was not easy.
With these 8 points, you have basically secured your ticket to the next game.
Many people looked at the person who was rated 8 points, and some people recognized him. He was the head chef of a well-known chain restaurant. He was good at cooking. The chain was very famous, but the head chef had never won anything.
I didn’t have any special experience, so I didn’t get recommended this time. I came to the preliminary round honestly and competed with everyone.
Gu Zheng also noticed him. He made fish head with chopped peppers from Hunan cuisine, not Hangzhou cuisine. The fact that he could achieve such results proved that this person did have certain abilities.
The staff began to pack things, and the second group of people who were going to compete were also preparing. Gu Zheng was in the third round. After chatting with Wang Dong, I didn’t expect that he was also in the third round. They were in the same group.
The second round of competition started soon. The judges were all looking at the twenty-five people in front of them. The first round of competition was mediocre and there were no big highlights. A few people made pretty good food, and in the end they got their fair share.
evaluate.
Although the scoring this time is not so detailed, some rules have been formulated internally. The judges are all based on the rules. It is actually very simple, three points each for color, fragrance, and the remaining one point is up to the judges themselves.
For any food, color, flavor and taste are the most basic requirements.
"what is that?"
"No, am I not dazzled?"
"Instant noodles, does anyone make instant noodles?"
The surrounding chatter suddenly increased. Gu Zheng and Wang Dong also looked towards the playing field, and they were both stunned for a moment.
Among the twenty-five contestants, one actually took out two packets of instant noodles, boiled water in a pot, and also took out two eggs. From the looks of it, he was preparing to cook instant noodles.
Cooking instant noodles? This can also be a food competition?
Not to mention them, the twenty judges were also stunned. Many of them had participated in many food events and served as judges in many food competitions. They had never heard of cooking instant noodles.
After a while, the water in the man's pot boiled. He beat the eggs first, and after the eggs were cooked, he put the torn instant noodles in. There was even more uproar outside. This man made real instant noodles. In the end,
Simply cook instant noodles.
"You, this is what you do?"
Finally, a staff member couldn't stand it anymore and ran over to question him.
"Yes, cooking instant noodles is my specialty. Isn't there no limit to this competition? Isn't cooking instant noodles considered food and cannot be eaten?"
The man raised his head and asked in confusion. The staff didn't say a word. There was no limit to the competition, but no one came to cook instant noodles.
But instant noodles are indeed a bit too special. They can basically be boiled, and those that can’t be boiled can also be soaked.
The twenty judges were also discussing in low voices. Strictly speaking, this person did not violate the rules. No one said that he was not allowed to make instant noodles. Since there is no such requirement and instant noodles are food, then he complies with the regulations.
