C310 World Chef Preliminaries

The reporters were convinced by Shen Wanyu's confidence and bearing. Her interviews were all live broadcasts. Very soon, the interview's video was broadcasted to all the major media, television, and online platforms in the country. In an instant, it caused a stir in the country. Everyone cheered and encouraged Shen Wanyu.

Just this short video was broadcasted online for nearly 100 million. The television station also won the national viewership ratings championship at that time.

Shen Wanyu did not say much to the reporters. When she saw Yun Xu and Du Binn arrive one after another, everyone entered the venue together.

This was the first time Du Binn had participated in such a grand competition. He was extremely excited. He watched people with different skin colors enter the stadium in order. Inside the stadium, there were people with different skin colors. Some had black skin, some had white skin, and some had yellow skin like him. Everyone cheered and said words that he did not understand.

Du Binn was excited but also a little nervous. He whispered to Shen Wanyu, "Wanyu, why are there so many people here?"

Shen Wanyu tilted her head and saw Du Binn raising his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead. Shen Wanyu could not help but laugh. Usually, she saw that this kid was still steady but in such a big occasion, he actually admitted defeat. She smiled and said, "Who cares about that. We just need to focus on the competition. Anyway, he won't eat you."

Du Binn saw that Shen Wanyu, a little girl, was so steady. On the contrary, he was a man who seemed to have never seen the world. His face suddenly turned red, but his skin was dark and he could not see it. He nodded and secretly told himself that he had to stay calm and not lose face for his father or his country.

According to the number of the competition, everyone walked to the back of the designated cooking table.

Just as she stood there, she heard cheers coming from the stadium. Many people were shouting her name in unison, "Shen Wanyu!"

Shen Wanyu turned her head and saw the audience seats not far away. Seventy to eighty people stood up with a banner in their hands. She raised her hand and waved the light stick in her hand. She saw that those people had the same skin color as her. There were a few who had other skin color, and on the dancing banner, it was written, "Shen Wanyu, The overseas foreigners support you!"

Shen Wanyu was extremely touched when she saw this scene. If they did not appear, she would not have known that she actually had so many fans overseas.

Shen Wanyu waved at them.

It caused the fans present to respond even more passionately.

In the following time, Shen Wanyu started to participate in the competition without any distractions. The questions of this competition were all arranged by the examiners in a uniform manner, and they would be assessed by the international standards. After passing this test, a large portion of the contestants would be sifted out, and the remaining contestants would be able to successfully advance and enter the next round of the competition.

The questions were, one for lunch, one for western food, one for cold food, and one for dessert.

The middle meal was: Squirrel Fish.

The Western food was: French goose liver.

The dessert was: Black Forest cake.

The cold plate is: Carved Radish

This was not a difficult task for Shen Wanyu. Even the Squirrel Fish was her specialty.

After Shen Wanyu and Du Binn discussed it, they started to work.

All the examinees present had the same questions. Competing was just comparing whose culinary skills were better.

Shen Wanyu asked Du Binn to prepare the ingredients for the dessert. She picked up a mandarin fish and started to cut it.

At this time, at Yancheng Television Station, Jing City Television Station had begun broadcasting the whole process. Most of the audience in the country were concerned about this. Only the contestants in the country were concerned. Therefore, the cameras of the two television stations were mostly directed at Shen Wanyu, Yun Xu, and the others.

On the television, a picture taken using a high-definition camera appeared. On the screen, she was extremely skilled in knife skills. She quickly separated the meat of the pine mandarin fish by sticking it to the bones. After a while, the camera landed on her face. A twenty year old girl with delicate and beautiful appearance and a focused look was really pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Yunzhan sat in the VIP seats below the stage and watched. He was also deeply fascinated by her. He only went in after the opening, so Shen Wanyu still did not know where he was sitting.

However, this did not affect Jiang Yunzhan from admiring Shen Wanyu from afar. He felt that it would be good even if he sat in the crowd and looked at her from afar.

After Shen Wanyu processed all the ingredients, she first made desserts. The dessert Black Forest cake was not difficult to make. It could be made with cakes, chocolates, cream, and other ingredients. It was rare that the taste was good.

When Shen Wanyu was making the cake, she specially added a small cup of white orchid to make the cake taste better.

After she was done, she sprinkled the chocolate on the surface of the cake.

Next was the cold plate. The cold plate needed to be carved with a dragon and used a carrot. Shen Wanyu held a knife in her hand and her hands moved quickly. Broken pieces flew and an ordinary carrot was carved into a dragon in the blink of an eye. She placed the dragon in the plate and embedded the black bean in the dragon's eye.2

Even Du Binn could not help but praise. "Wanyu did not expect your carving skills to be so superb."

Du Binn had always felt that his cold plate was not bad, but compared to Shen Wanyu, there was more than a small gap.

Shen Wanyu smiled and did not say anything.

There were still two dishes, and there was only fifty minutes left.

Shen Wanyu put the Squirrel Fish into the pot and fried it. Then she put the tomato sauce into the pot and added some bamboo shoots, pea and other things. After the fire was set, she poured the hot soup onto the pine mandarin fish.

Next was the French goose liver. This made her even faster. The cooking method of western cuisine was far less complicated than that of Chinese cuisine.

After the foie gras were done, they were put on a plate, and fruits and vegetables were used as embellishments on the plate.

After all of them were done, the competition ended just in time.

There were a total of 20 judges at the scene of the competition. They came from all over the country. 300 people. If all the dishes were served, the judges would have to taste them countless times until the people in front tasted them all. The dishes of the people in the back had long since cooled down and lost their original taste. Therefore, it was extremely unreasonable to do so.

In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, after the competition ended, there would be some auditors at the scene who would inspect the entire process. Those who had yet to finish, or those whose color was not right, would be directly cut off.

After the auditors checked, more than 50 people were directly eliminated. Next, the contestants would serve the dishes in one round. When the dishes were served, they would first pass the second round of auditing. Nearly 50 people who had not passed the second round of auditing would pass, which was equivalent to two rounds of auditing. In the end, only 200 people would be able to serve the dishes to the judges.

Not 20 rounds. After the jury had tasted the food, the remaining 20 dishes continued to be served. Shen Wanyu's seat was neither too early nor too late. In the third round, she and Du Binn brought the food that they had prepared to the judges.

These judges were all members of the World Cooking Association. They had a high status in the international food industry.
