Following the host's order, Spiros Lindemann went directly to the ingredients area and began to select ingredients. At the same time, his mind was rapidly thinking about the dishes he was about to make.
When he arrived at the ingredients area almost at the same time, Spiros Lindemann had already determined the dessert he wanted to make in his mind, and a smile appeared on his lips. Looking back, he found that Xia Tian was still standing alone in the venue.
, I closed my eyes and didn’t know what I was thinking.
"It seems that this kid hasn't thought about how to cook yet. I really think highly of him."
Thinking of this, Spiros Lindemann couldn't help but smile scornfully, ignored Xia Tian, and began to search for the ingredients he needed.
The people in Ji Xing Lao off the court were looking at Xia Tian worriedly at this time, with anxious expressions on their faces. This was the first time they saw Xia Tian's hesitation after eating Ji started.
That's right, in their minds, when they participated in shokuji in the past summer, they always looked careless but confident, wandering to the food area and choosing ingredients leisurely, as if they were not participating in an intense food competition.
The halberd competition is more like preparing meals for three meals a day.
But now it was the first time that they saw that they were lagging behind others. Could it be that dessert was really Xia Tian's weakness? This idea that they couldn't believe arose in everyone's mind.
"Xia Jun..."
Ryoko Sakaki looked at Xia Tian who was thinking with her eyes closed on the stage, her beautiful eyes full of worry.
…
At this moment, in another venue, the semi-final match between Reinhardt and another contestant was about to begin. Reinhardt looked at the contestant in front of him with interest.
Because the contestant in front of you is really strange. A large black robe covers the contestant's short body, making it difficult for people to see the expression and appearance of the contestant. Only the exposed face is full of wrinkles and
The wrinkled skin shows that this contestant is definitely not young.
"Cough cough cough~"
A short cough made this thin body tremble, making people doubt whether he still had the strength to move the flour. After all, the theme of this cooking was related to noodles.
Seeing this, Reinhard couldn't help but show a trace of contempt and confusion in his eyes. He didn't understand how an old guy like this, who couldn't lift his hands and had to gasp three times every step of the way, passed the preliminaries and group stages. Could it be that the old guy's...
The team was such a waste, it's not like he never thought about whether the old guy was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
But when he watched the video of this contestant's competition, everything was so ordinary. The only difference might be that this contestant's basic skills were very solid, so solid that he couldn't even do that step himself.
, but what’s the use of this? With today’s advanced technology, these can all be replaced by machines.
And when Reinhard faced this contestant, his disdain became more certain, because the old aura exuding from the contestant could not be faked. This contestant was definitely over seventy years old. At such an age
, no matter how good your cooking skills are, under the degradation of your body's physical fitness, how much can you perform, one point, or two points...
And today, after Reinhard saw the physical condition of this contestant, he confirmed this...
"What a lucky old guy!"
Reinhard sneered disdainfully.
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly came to Reinhardt's mind, so he showed a kind smile on his face and said softly:
"Sir, can your body support the food consumption of this competition? After all, you are so old and still so weak. I hope you can think more about your body."
The words were full of concern, but in fact, the real meaning was to make the contestants consciously admit defeat. The host in the venue frowned after hearing this, but said nothing.
Because in his opinion, this contestant's body and age were indeed not suitable for this high-intensity competition. Seeing this contestant's trembling body, the host was really afraid that something would happen to him during the competition.
Accident, that would be really troublesome.
However, this contestant neither agreed nor refused, and remained where he was quietly, as if he didn't bother to answer Reinhardt.
This couldn't help but make Reinhard feel a little embarrassed. He said this because he wanted to preserve more physical strength. Although he didn't think this old guy could hinder him, it was good to save a little bit, not only because of today's
After the semi-finals, the finals will begin tomorrow.
This is because Reinhardt already knows in advance that tomorrow's game is destined to be a protracted battle that is increasingly exhausting, and he must retain sufficient physical strength.
Although Reinhardt said he looked down on Xia Tian's glowing cuisine, he would not despise it at all in a real Shokugeki duel.
"A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength!"
This was his creed in his career as Reinhardt's chef. Either he didn't do it, or he did it with all his strength, leaving no trace behind. He didn't want to be a fool who carelessly lost because he looked down on his opponent.
But this time, when he wanted to give the other party a decent exit, what he received instead was such silent ridicule, and he suddenly felt extremely angry.
I saw Reinhard still maintaining a graceful smile, approaching his opponent, and said in a voice that only he and the opponent could hear:
"Hey, old guy, I advise you to admit defeat on your own, otherwise I will let your cooking be completely defeated by my cooking in front of everyone, without mercy."
Underneath his gentle smile were such wild words, I’m afraid no one would believe him. After several performances in the competition, Reinhardt had already been unanimously called “gentleman” and “gentle” Reinhardt by the audience.
.
But while he was threatening Reinhard, he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, as if he had been hit by a stick, and he stepped back repeatedly. But when he came back to his senses, it was as if nothing had happened. Only the slight pain in his lower abdomen showed that he had just been hit by a stick.
Everything that happened was true. Reinhardt immediately looked at his opponent who remained the same. He knew it was the opponent who did it, but he had no evidence.
"Old guy, this is your choice. Just watch, you will be stepped on by me soon."
Reinhard said a harsh word, but at this moment, the man in black, who had never spoken a word, laughed. The laughter was hoarse and particularly harsh. For some reason, Reinhard suddenly burst into laughter.
I felt waves of coldness, as if I was being watched by some terrifying being...
In the cooking venue on the other side, Xia Tian, who had not moved for a long time, finally opened his eyes and showed a confident smile...
