"In this competition, every contestant can get a purchase quota of 5 million! The contestants can use the 5 million to buy the ingredients they want at the food stores scattered around us. Every ingredient has a clearly marked price.
!That’s it, meow~”
Chen Mo had noticed before that there were many shops around the square, but he didn't expect them to be shops supplying food ingredients.
He looked around and found that the eyes of other Yuling chefs were full of solemnity.
5 million may seem like a lot, but in fact the ingredients you can buy are very limited. If you buy two rare ingredients, it will be gone.
And the ingredients are limited, so you may have to compete with other contestants for the ingredients.
Therefore, the selection of ingredients requires reasonable planning by each player.
"The total duration of the final is 3 hours, which is divided into three parts: ingredient selection, food production, and judges' scoring."
Xia Yan, who has a loli face, continued to explain:
"Each contestant's score still consists of quality points and judges' scores. However, unlike the first two rounds of competition, the final has increased the proportion of judges' scores."
"Each of the 10 judges has 5 points, totaling 50 points, and the full quality score is also 50 points~"
"The specific rules for scoring are as follows - delicacies from rare level 5 to below 10 points, delicacies from rare level 6 to rare 9 20 points, delicacies from rare level 1 to rare 5 30 points, rare level 6 to rare 9 points 40 points, epic
The delicacies of level 1 and above are awarded a full score of 50 points!”
"Then let me announce that the title of this Soul-Eating Competition is - Nostalgia!"
Xia Yan shouted loudly.
A small body contains a lot of energy.
"Everyone must have a special affection for his hometown. This affection will be especially strong when you are in a foreign country."
“So this time everyone’s works need to arouse the homesickness of the judges as much as possible!”
After Xia Yan announced the test questions, both the Yuling Chef contestants who came to participate in the finals and the audience watching the competition were stunned for a few seconds.
The test questions for this year's Young Chef Competition seem a bit difficult.
At the judges' table, after hearing the test questions, the ten judges frowned and looked a little confused.
They are worried that the players are not doing well, but they are also worried that they are doing too well.
If it's not done well, it means the decline of Dongxia's food industry, which is something they don't want to see.
However, the contestants’ final delicacies were highly completed, which meant that they would be aroused to homesickness 30 times in a row. Who could withstand this!
I'm afraid that if I hadn't eaten all these delicacies, I would have returned to my hometown overnight.
A trace of worry flashed in Chen Mengqing's cold eyes.
If you want to imbue food with emotions and make diners feel the same way, you must use a high-level food-based move - Fusion of Feelings.
Under normal circumstances, this high-level food-type move can only be mastered by food spirits at the leader level and above.
As far as she knew, Tuantuan probably had not mastered this cooking skill.
The exam questions were determined a month ago and were jointly formulated by a number of imperial chefs.
They mainly wanted to test the mastery of Yuling Chef and their food spirits on the [melting emotion] move, which is a move that almost every high-level food spirit must learn.
I guess they didn't expect that there would be an intermediate spirit chef who would reach the finals with a transcendent food spirit...
What's more important is that half of the total points a contestant receives comes from the judges' scores.
This means that tactics like the qualifiers that blindly pursue quality points can no longer be used.
The situation is not good for Chen Mo!
She couldn't help but look at Chen Mo in the center of the square, but found that this guy seemed to be in a daze?
In front of the stove.
Chen Mo was naturally not in a daze, but when he heard the word "nostalgia", he couldn't help but think of Lan Xing in his previous life, his parents, classmates, and life.
Although that world did not have extraordinary power, it carried a long period of his life experience.
For him, the Blue Star in his previous life was his hometown.
When he first came to this world half a year ago, he was confused and missed his parents and friends in his previous life.
Later, in the company of Xiaojiu and other spiritual beasts, Chen Mo gradually felt relieved. Now he has integrated into this world very well. He rarely thinks of things from his past life, and only at certain moments, he will think of them accidentally.
For example, when he heard the word "nostalgia" now, he couldn't help but arouse his thoughts again.
"Hey?" (Master, what food should we make this time?)
Nuomi Tuanling's anxious voice brought Chen Mo back from his thoughts.
Oh yes, now is the game, not the time to dwell on the past.
Chen Mo quickly "flicked through" the recipes in his mind.
[World Pastry Master] allows him to master thousands of different pastry making.
The competition rules of the finals were indeed very unfavorable for them. Tuantuan had not learned the food skill of "melting emotions", so they could only start from the effects of the food itself.
Soon, Chen Mo found a pastry delicacy that almost perfectly met the requirements of this exam!
Homesick rice dumplings.
This is a kind of pastry that has not yet been recorded in the spiritual world. Depending on the ingredients used and the level of the chef, the quality of the finished homesick rice dumpling ranges from rare to epic.
The effect of eating it is to evoke strong feelings of homesickness. If the quality of the homesick rice dumplings can reach an epic level, it can even make diners dream of returning to their hometown, relieving the pain of homesickness.
"The decision is yours!"
A smile appeared on Chen Mo's lips.
Since you can't arouse the judges' homesickness through food skills, use the special effects of the food itself instead!
"Hey!"
Tuan Tuan clenched his fists to cheer himself up, and his cute appearance made many viewers watching the live broadcast cute.
"Make a few more, and the probability of making epic-quality homesick rice dumplings is very high. The quality points will be earned first!"
"Hey!" (Go, go, go!)
"But we can't be too happy. In this competition, we may not have the ingredients needed for homesick rice dumplings."
Chen Mo looked around and saw that there were many shops that provided food ingredients, almost hundreds of them, and each shop had a conspicuous neon sign hanging on it, which stated the type of food sold and the name of the shop.
These stores are sponsored by large companies or large suppliers that sell gourmet ingredients.
They paid the organizer a large amount of money to appear here, just to let their company "show their face."
The advertising fee for the National Young Chef Competition is very expensive!
Chen Mo saw two shops that specialized in selling traditional pastry ingredients, so he might try his luck there first.
If that doesn't work, alternatives can only be initiated.
[World Pastry Master] has allowed him to master many pastry making methods, and it’s not just the homesick rice dumplings that evoke nostalgia!

"Now, all contestants, please get ready——"
Xia Yan held the microphone in one hand, raised it high with the other, and then waved it down heavily with the sound of fireworks.
