Chapter 372 Yao Mozi
Zhao Xiaojing looked around and finally fixed her eyes on the female contestant who calmly flipped the ladle, helped put out the fire, and returned to her position without saying a word.
Zhao Xiaojing had noticed this female contestant before the competition started. While the host was speaking, the contestants below were either chatting in low voices, or quietly taking out their phones to do nothing, or looking around nervously, looking very uneasy, just like a real person.
Only this female player stared straight ahead with an expressionless face the entire time, as if she was detached and out of tune with the competition.
At that time, Zhao Xiaojing didn't think much about it, she just thought that maybe she was here because she was beautiful and had a special temperament, or she was just here to join in the fun, and she wasn't very interested in the competition itself. However, after the competition started, Zhao Xiaojing accidentally glanced in her direction and found that it was not the case at all. This person's technique was extremely skillful, and every move she made showed that she was a professional player, different from other female players.
From the other female contestants' techniques and cooking skills, it can be seen that most of them are housewives who come here to join in the fun. They are skilled only because they cook frequently, but they are not professionals yet. They come to the competition with the mentality of giving it a try, and there is a stiff feeling of tension all over their bodies.
But she was obviously calm, and it seemed that she finished cooking at about the same time as Zhao Xiaojing, or even earlier than Zhao Xiaojing. After finishing the dish, she stood calmly in her seat. If it weren't for the man next to her shouting, she might not even look around.
This kind of calmness is not like the calmness of other non-professional players who don’t care whether they advance or not, but a kind of calmness that is composed and extremely confident.
"Are the ingredients for the competition provided for free? Did I participate in the competition? Then these ingredients are provided to me, why can't I take them!?"
"These ingredients are provided for the competition, not for you personally. You can use them to cook, but you can't take them away! And you can't even take the oil and salt! Do you have any shame?"
"Who are you calling shameless? You are the one who is shameless. You want to take it yourself, but you are embarrassed. I took it and you are still plotting and complaining. Don't think I don't know your little tricks. You are just expecting them to take it from me and give it to you! If you have the guts, take it yourself! You have to involve me. Tell me, are you a slut?!"
While secretly observing the female contestant, he heard increasingly sharp shouting and cursing from behind. The female contestant frowned and turned to look behind her. Zhao Xiaojing also quickly turned her head away.
The back was in chaos, with two contestants pointing fingers at each other and swearing at each other, almost getting into a fight. The staff kept trying to stop them, but the situation was not resolved, and the quarrel only intensified.
"You try to tell me again?"
"Thief! I'm talking about you. Why would I be afraid of you? Don't think that..."
"You guys still want to compete? No need to go!" An angry roar was heard, and the surroundings instantly became quiet. "Do you want to die?"
A tall and strong male contestant who was originally participating in the competition had red eyes and was holding a kitchen knife. He looked at the people quarreling with resentment, and his teeth were chattering uncontrollably in extreme anger.
When he looked again, he found that the ingredients he had cut had been knocked to the ground during the argument between the two and were no longer usable.
"Sorry, sorry, we didn't handle it properly. Your food will be provided to you later." At this time, a manager-like staff member came from the back with several security guards, and signaled the staff who followed to clean the floor, while signaling another staff member to register. "Write down this gentleman's number and give him extra time later. Register the other affected players as well. I will give them a small gift later."
"You two have been disqualified from the competition. Please come with me to the office to handle follow-up matters. You have seriously affected the competition of other players. We hope you can cooperate with our next work. Otherwise, we don't mind taking legal action to ask you to compensate for the losses you have caused us." The manager walked towards the two initiators of the quarrel with a serious face.
The person who reported the incident raised his head quickly, looking unwilling and wanting to say something, but the manager held out a hand to stop him, "I know your problem. We'll talk about it in the office later. Please don't affect other players' competitions now."
The thief's eyes were rolling around, and when he turned around, he saw the furious male contestant still staring at them with some anger in his eyes. He quickly lowered his head and said nothing more.
The management staff seemed to be the backbone, and after a few words the scene became stable. The furious male contestant looked at the two quarreling people a few more times, and after the two of them dared not look directly at each other, he said nothing more. With the comfort and help of the staff, he re-arranged the table and the surroundings became quiet.
The manager gave a few more instructions and took the two away, and the chaotic competition scene immediately returned to order.
As a result of this commotion, the progress of many people was delayed. Those who could be saved started to try their best to save them, and those who could not be saved, such as the angry male contestant just now, were seriously disturbed. The staff immediately provided new ingredients and extended the competition time by seven minutes.
Zhao Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't expect that a cooking competition, where young people were all present, could cause such trouble. It seemed that this competition was indeed large in scale and attracted all kinds of people.
"The first batch of selection results have been announced on the big screen. Please check the results according to the numbers of the contestants who have completed the competition. Green means promotion, and red means elimination. The contestants who have promoted should take their number tags to the service desk to receive their prizes. The contestants who did not promote are welcome to try again next time. Just hand your number tags to the staff at the exit. The exit is on the left side of the service desk."
I don’t know if it was because of the commotion just now that the results were announced ahead of schedule. As soon as the situation here was settled, the host on the stage over there started announcing that people could check the results and leave.
At this time, almost half of the contestants had completed the competition. After the host spoke, the large electronic screen used for the countdown began to scroll. From a distance, it could be seen that it was divided into two areas, red on the left and green on the right.
As soon as the result came out, the scene immediately became restless again. Zhao Xiaojing followed the crowd and left. Only when she reached the bottom of the large electronic screen could she clearly see the lines of numbers scrolling on the screen.
The numbers are written very clearly, from left to right they are the competition number, name, and score. Those who were eliminated with less than nine points are in the red area on the left, and those who scored nine points or more are in the green area on the right.
Although Zhao Xiaojing knew she could make it after seeing the uneven progress in the auditions, she still couldn't help but be surprised when her score appeared in the green area scrolling on the big screen.
