That night, in the Lyon area, the hotel was no longer as full as before, and most of the unsuccessful chefs had already left this place sadly.
Some of them are participating in the competition for the first time, while others have received invitations for several years, but have stopped here.
The hotel where the chefs of Su's Restaurant live also has a lot of vacant rooms.
When everyone was getting ready to wash up and fall asleep, an Asian man checked in with his suitcase.
Although the front desk lady is an authentic French person, like most Europeans, she is not very clear about Asian looks, but the scene where Xiao Lin made a big fuss in the hotel on Monday left a deep impression on her.
When I saw Xiao Lin on Monday, the front desk lady took two steps back even though she knew there was a counter in front of her.
"Excuse me, how can I help you?"
The receptionist took a deep breath and was prepared to call the police immediately if the Asian man dared to speak rudely again.
"I'll check in."
Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows arrogantly on Monday and said.
He really can't stand these dirty and lazy French people.
Probably because of the competition being held in France this year, he obviously feels that there are fewer and fewer non-European faces in his competition, and almost all black players have been eliminated.
Excluded, there are only a few Asian faces left.
And in their competition, there are two chefs who are sought after to the end of the world.
When they communicate with the judges, they speak fluent French.
Instead of calling this competition the Global Culinary Competition, call it the All-French Culinary Competition.
Hearing that he was here to check in, not to cause trouble, the front desk lady breathed a sigh of relief and started to check him in.
Everything went smoothly until Xiaolin left on Monday, and the front desk lady showed a sly smile.
This arrogant Japanese insulted several other Chinese players before leaving last time, but now that he was alone, she deliberately arranged his room near those Chinese players to let a self-righteous person like him try it.
Taste the feeling of hitting an iron plate.
Early the next morning, several contestants from Su's Restaurant went to the hotel's buffet restaurant for breakfast.
Everyone, you wait for me, I wait for you.
Almost all the room doors were wide open, and Bao Ruwen and Li Hongxing were leaning against the corridor.
Chat on.
They didn't notice that the door of a nearby room was quietly opened a crack.
Xiao Lin looked gloomily at the people joking in the corridor on Monday.
He recognized that among these people were not only the woman named Su whom he hated and wanted revenge on, but also the Frenchman who was praised to the heavens by the judges in their competition.
It seems to be called Charlie They actually know each other Although he couldn't understand Chinese, it could be seen from their interactions that Charlie, Su, and the Chinese chef they were with knew each other.
There must be something shady about this competition, otherwise why were all the other Asian faces eliminated, and the only ones left were the ones who were familiar with Charlie.
He didn't believe that they all had the ability to survive until this stage of the game.
There were still a lot of people in today's game, but fortunately there were already all the remaining players.
They drew seat numbers, everyone took their places, and tested whether there was any problem with the stove.
In addition, the judges announced the topic and each selected their materials.
More than two hours passed in such a chaotic scene.
When there are more people, it is easy to get confused.
Everyone is confused.
Like a headless fly, he doesn't even bother to say hello to the people around him.
What makes Su Ruotong feel more amazing is that all the contestants in Su's Restaurant are actually assigned to the kitchen seats in the first three rows.
She was at the front, in the first row, with two people in the middle, Charlie, and behind her, Bao Ruwen, Li Hongxing, and Li Weining were in the second and third rows respectively.
Moreover, after her observation, the first five rows were followed by the most photographers and fixed shooting machines, and the closer to the back, the fewer.
She roughly understood that the seating arrangement this time was probably based on the previous ones during the game.
According to the results, those players who came in from the sidelines at the end may be getting closer and closer to the fate of elimination.
But because everyone is a celebrity chef carefully selected from all over the world, and each has their own specialty dishes, it is impossible to say who will suddenly break out and be among the top.
She didn't feel sad for others, she just wanted to cook with peace of mind.
Far away, in the sixth row behind them, Xiaolin's eyes were filled with anger on Monday.

In last year's competition, he also stood in the front row of the stove and even reached the 50-to-20 level.
This year, his goal is to enter the 20-to-10 level.
But unfortunately, according to the seat number, he actually fell behind fifty It's impossible that his level has not dropped.
He has even studied carefully this year and feels that he has improved.
There must be something behind this bad competition.
Otherwise, how could he see that Charlie and his Chinese friends are all in the top three?
Row.
You know, everyone in the first three rows has always been chasing the scores very closely, and everyone has the potential to win the championship.
"Damn Chinese pigs, damn Gallic chickens."
Xiao Lin cursed in Japanese on Monday through his teeth.
These races are obviously inferior races, how can they make delicious meals?
He was not convinced.
With a whistle, the game officially started.
Today's competition is much more diversified than the previous two days.
The chefs can use whatever they want.
However, the ingredients are quite limited.
Only one kind of poultry and duck are provided as the main course.
The remaining vegetables, side dishes and various seasonings are not available. limited.
Duck is a very cheap and common ingredient no matter where it is in the world.
Duck meat is even cheaper than chicken, but its sales volume is not as good as chicken, because for ordinary people, duck meat is difficult to make delicious, and It’s also not as easy to cook as chicken.
Both of these issues are also problematic for chefs.
Looking at the ducks they received, almost everyone fell into deep thought.
The fierce competition in the past two days made these chefs realize that it is impossible to fool the judges with their usual specialties.
They must be brilliant and innovative, and at the same time take into account the taste.
How should they do it well?
Today's judges are selected by the judges representatives from their respective competition venues.
They have already communicated with each other.
Although they have recommended the people they like in their respective competition venues to each other, they still believe that the talents from their own competition venues are the best.
Great, no one wants to be convinced.
A woman in her fifties wearing glasses was looking at Su Ruotong's stove with a warm smile on her face, secretly cheering for Su Ruotong.
She was one of the judges at Su Ruotong's competition yesterday, and she is also a rare woman among the judges.
She is not only cheering for Su Ruotong, but also for women who are a rare group among the vast group of chefs.
She hopes that Su Ruotong wins the championship, and then lets everyone in the world know that female chefs can also do everything that men can do.
Will she cook roast duck today just like she cooked roast goose yesterday?
The female judge named Sophie looked at Su Ruotong excitedly.
As long as Su Ruotong roasts a duck using the method of roasting goose yesterday, he will definitely conquer the taste of all the judges.
God knows that when she slept in the middle of last night, she dreamed of that perfect roast goose.
It must have been blessed by God before it came into this world.
Su Ruotong looked to the side.
Charlie had already started to take action.
It seemed that he needed to use the oven.
In this competition, Su's Restaurant has set a relatively large goal for itself, striving for everyone to enter the top ten.
Therefore, for the sake of the other contestants in Su's Restaurant, Su Ruotong decided to avoid their cooking techniques.
So, she didn't do anything first and sat quietly on the chair, as if she was not here to compete at all, but to visit.
Sophie saw that Su Ruotong was not moving at all, while all the chefs around her were working enthusiastically, and she couldn't help but become more and more anxious.

She even called a staff member and said a few words to him.
The staff member came to Su Ruotong's chopping board and asked in English: "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
"No."
Su Ruotong said to him, "I'm fine, I just want to wait for a while before starting cooking."
The staff member shrugged.
It had nothing to do with the contestant whether or when he would cook.
It was just what the judges above asked her to ask.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Su Ruotong finally determined that Charlie was going to cook in the oven, Bao Ruwen was going to make braised cold cuts, Li Hongxing was going to steam it, and Li Weining was a bit more arrogant, so he was going to use red wine to cook the food, combined with steaming and roasting.
Plant, like this The cooking method can perfectly remove the fishy smell of duck and make the duck meat tender.
When he was in the capital, he discussed this issue with Su Ruotong.
It seems that he guessed the question quite accurately.
When he was studying in the past, he was also a Straight A student.
Su Ruotong looked at their cooking methods and smiled slightly.
So, today she wants everyone to see a special Chinese cooking method: stir-frying.
The duck on the cooking table was picked up by Su Ruotong and placed in the center of the chopping board.
Then, Su Ruotong raised the knife and put it down.
She didn't know how she cut it.
The duck meat was sliced into pieces.
At first glance, these ducks looked like The meat was cut into pieces , but upon closer inspection, the duck meat was actually cut along the joints of the duck, and the cut surfaces were very smooth.
In other words, anyone who is a little good at puzzles and models can easily cut them.
Then put it back together into a whole duck.
This is simply magical.
Sophie had been paying attention to what was happening on Su Ruotong's side, but she was too far away and she couldn't see clearly.
She could only see that Su Ruotong cut the duck into different sizes, but she couldn't see the real mystery behind it.
She couldn't even sit still in her chair.
A feeling of frustration could not help but arise in Sophie's heart.
She still remembers her first global cooking competition decades ago, when the world was not so tolerant of women.
She became more and more courageous in the competition, but there were more and more doubts and abuses.
Finally, she lost the battle for the top three and only got the third place.
The champion chef, a tall man, said to her: "Madam, the professional kitchen is not a place for women.
Go back to your mother."
Help her make onion soup in the kitchen, that's where you belong."
These words were like a magic spell, following her all her life.
So far, she has made thousands of dishes through her hands, but she has never cooked onion soup again.
She hopes that someone can win the championship and wash away the shame imposed on women.
However, after waiting for so many years, among all the female contestants, no one has been able to enter the top three like she did back then, let alone win the championship.
Could it be that she will be disappointed again this time:
