Mag maintained a certain sense of alienation from Angelina's deliberate closeness, and he was somewhat unclear about this woman's thoughts.
The show has reached the semi-finals. With her strong and stable strength and her popularity, she is currently ranked first.
This is no longer a stage where each player needs to rely on their own abilities to gain popularity. There is absolutely no need for her to stick to him at this time. Instead, it puts her own personality in jeopardy.
Mag even doubted whether this woman had ulterior motives for him, otherwise her behavior would be too abnormal and inconsistent with the abilities she had shown before.
The elevator was stable. Magdan stepped into it first and stood in the innermost corner.
Mag originally thought that Angelina would give up, but she didn't expect that she would step into the elevator before Iman and Padas and stand next to Mag.
Mag suddenly understood why those idols hated the so-called illegitimate meal so much. Although the other person was a beautiful girl, it was still quite annoying to delay his mission.
Seemingly seeing the indifference in Mag's eyes, Angelina took half a step back, her eyes slightly lowered, looking at Mag with some worry and confusion, her lips moved, but she still refrained from continuing to talk to Mag. .
Mag was slightly relieved. Fortunately, this woman was not so indifferent to her expressions.
The elevator descended steadily from the 300th floor to the negative first floor. Iman took the initiative to chat with Angelina in a gentlemanly manner, but the latter had only general interests and his eyes were always concerned about Mag.
"That person looks like a dog."
"I feel sorry for Iman for three seconds, but this sudden emotional line... is really confusing."
"Those who are not favored will always be in love, and those who are favored will be confident."
The addition of Iman has greatly increased the effect of the program, and the barrage has become more and more lively.
Pardas looked at the three of them and hesitated to speak, but finally chose to smile and remain silent.
The circle is so messy that he really doesn't know how to insert it.
It only took thirty seconds for the elevator to reach the first floor below. The group got out of the elevator and received the amount of the competition from the staff.
One hundred thousand card coins, this is the food purchase bonus that the players in this game receive.
Spending 100,000 yuan to buy ingredients to make a dish is an extreme luxury.
But for the contestants in the King of Chef competition, this reduction in funding is simply unacceptable.
Iman and Padas had puzzled expressions on their faces at the same time.
You must know that starting from the top 16 competition, the main ingredients provided by the program team are worth hundreds of thousands of copper coins. With side dishes, it is common for the ingredients to cost more than one million.
But now for the semi-finals, the funds have fallen instead of rising, leaving only 100,000.
"Is it so rich?" Mag was a little surprised. After all, it was just a dish. One hundred thousand copper coins seemed to him to be quite sufficient funds.
Take the charcoal-grilled lamb chops he made yesterday as an example. The price of a black sheep was only 20,000 copper coins, and he only took twelve lamb chops, so the total price would not exceed 5,000.
As for the dish he was going to make today, he had just decided on it in the elevator, and he would just go straight to find the ingredients he needed later.
After taking the shopping card, Mag swiped a shopping cart that followed automatically and entered the supermarket.
Angelina's expression was equally calm. After taking the shopping card, she glanced at Mag's back and walked into the supermarket quickly.
Mag quickly found the fresh food section through the index on the shopping cart, and then found the beef section.
Mocha Supermarket is a large high-end supermarket targeting the petty bourgeoisie. It has a dazzling array of high-end ingredients and a wide range of categories. Just beef, there are hundreds of varieties according to the place of origin and part.
The beef here is slaughtered and placed on the shelves after being cut up. It is cut perfectly and can be cooked directly after purchase.
However, Mag turned around and reached out to test the temperatures of several types of beef. He shook his head in disappointment, then clicked on the consultation button on the shopping cart and asked, "Where can I get warm-body beef?"
"Little Cart doesn't understand what you're talking about, can you repeat it again?" Shopping Cart replied in a gentle female voice.
"Is this artificial retardation?" Mag curled his lips.
"Hello, how can I help you?" The artificial intelligence is turned off and a real artificial voice is connected.
"I want to buy warm-bodied beef that has just been slaughtered no more than an hour ago. Can you provide it here?" Mag asked directly.
"Please wait a moment, I need to make some inquiries." The voice replied.
On the other side, in the Mocha Supermarket control center, the customer service supervisor looked at the supermarket general manager inquiringly.
"We have our own slaughterhouse on the 38th floor below. A batch of fine silver-horned bison just arrived yesterday. If he wants it, it can be delivered to the supermarket within ten minutes." The supervisor of the slaughtering department stood up and said.
"Okay, then promise him that no matter what he wants, as long as it can be found in the main city, we can get it for him." The manager ordered.
The customer service supervisor nodded, reconnected the connection, and said: "Hello guest, according to your needs, we will provide you with customized services. What you need is a piece of beef that has been slaughtered for no more than an hour and still retains body temperature. ? Do you have any other requirements for the part, weight and breed of beef?”
"What I need is the hind leg meat of a Silverhorn bison weighing about three thousand kilograms. It weighs three kilograms." Mag said. He had just asked the system to check the purchase order of this supermarket. This is a ready-made ingredient at a moderate price. , just in line with his requirements.
"Okay, please wait a moment, the ingredients you need will be delivered within ten minutes!"
"Is there anything else you need help with?"
"No, thank you." Mag turned off the voice consultation and walked to the seafood area according to the index.
In ten minutes, Mag bought two kilograms of ordinary white water shrimps, two pieces of pork rinds placed in the promotion area, several common spices and side dishes, and the warm beef delivered on time. The total cost was less than three yuan. Thousand copper coins.
"This is the so-called warm-body beef. The meat is bright red, elastic, and retains the body temperature of the cow. Of course, you can use any beef as a substitute, but it is best to choose more elastic hind shank meat." Mag showed to the camera. He looked at the beef he had just received and said with a smile: "Now that the ingredients have been purchased, I am going back to the on-site cooking."
"Wow, this saves the program team a lot of money, right? One hundred thousand coins only cost two thousand and eighty."
"Watching Hades go shopping makes me feel like I'm immersed in it. I buy everything cheaply. The ingredients cost 2,800 yuan, and the price seems to be acceptable."
"Is this how you rich people go to the vegetable market? This is my food expenses for a month, including gas!"
"While others were still worrying about lack of funds, Hades had already returned home with a full load. It felt like he knew exactly what he wanted to buy from the moment he stepped into the supermarket."
The barrage went by quickly, praising Magdo.
At the same time, in the seafood area on the other side, Iman was looking at the two fish in the two fish tanks with a troubled expression.
"Which one should I choose?" Iman scratched his head with a confused expression.
Pardas in the meat section next to him had a similar expression. At this time, he already had a variety of ingredients in his shopping cart, but he also had difficulty choosing the main ingredients and could not make up his mind for a long time.
Angelina is very efficient in selecting ingredients, but she seems to need to buy a lot of ingredients. The shopping cart is already half full, and she is still looking for something.
"I didn't expect that the most efficient person to buy ingredients today would be the slowest Hakka player yesterday." David said with surprise as he looked at Mag, who was the first to enter the elevator and prepare to return to the main arena.
Julian shook his head and said: "The limitation of the chef's vision is obvious. Even if he got one hundred thousand coins, he was not able to select the best ingredients at this price."
"I think he already knew the ingredients he needed from the moment he entered the supermarket. Expensive does not mean the best, let alone the best ingredients for the dishes he chose." Old Hunter immediately retorted. Said, “The price of whitewater shrimp is not outstanding among all kinds of shrimps. This is because it is easy to catch and has a large quantity, not because it tastes worse than other shrimps. I personally think it can be ranked among the top three in the seafood list, even more so. It is affordable seafood that ordinary people can often eat.
On the contrary, some players were completely disrupted by the new rules. After starting to choose ingredients, they didn't even know which ingredients they needed. They also wavered in the choice of main ingredients, which was worrying. "
Old Julian's face turned red. Naturally, he could tell that Old Hunter meant Iman. As a master, he was naturally unhappy. He said coldly: "Shrimp and beef are two completely conflicting ingredients. I would like to take a look." What tricks can he do?"
Seeing the two people's taste becoming more and more intense, Nancy chuckled and said: "It's the first time I've seen the semi-finalists of the King of Kitchen Competition cook food with less than 3,000 coins, so I'm somewhat looking forward to what kind of food he can make." Come."
Julian glanced at Nancy and said no more, but his expression became a little darker.
Judging from Miss Nancy's attitude towards Hades in these two games, she seems to be very interested in this newcomer, which is somewhat detrimental to Iman's entry into the finals.
This is the first time for him to let his apprentices compete in this King of Chef competition. One of the reasons is to get the list of contestants in advance and confirm that there are no famous or very powerful people among them, so he inserted Iman into the competition.
The King of Chef Competition is also considered the top competition in the industry, and the winner also has the opportunity to become the special chef of McCarthy Manor.
Just as he expected, Iman, who received his true message, passed all the way and successfully entered the quarterfinals.
Originally, according to the plan, his only opponent was Angelina. He only needed to win unexpectedly in the set-up, and he would have a chance to come back and win the championship in the finals.
But now a Hades suddenly appeared, coming fiercely, and even counterattacked to third place despite being significantly behind in online ratings, and the gap with Iman was less than one point.
Julian doesn't know what dish Mag will cook today, but judging from the current situation, Mag's competitiveness seems to have dropped a lot since he chose a piece of ordinary beef and two pounds of ordinary white water shrimps.
Mag returned to the arena, and there were only four consoles left on the field, with the numbers and names of the top four players written on them.
Mag first greeted the on-site judges and then returned to the operating table.
"Player Hades, we saw that you quickly selected the ingredients and returned to the competition, and everyone is very curious about one thing. What dish are you planning to cook today? Using silver horn beef and white water shrimp, it sounds like Two ingredients that don't match at all. And why did you choose these two ingredients?" David looked at Mag and asked curiously.
This is probably a question that the judges and the audience are more curious about.
"Silverhorn bison is produced from the Xihua Prairie. Its meat quality is excellent, but its price is much lower than other top-quality beef. It is low-price, high-quality and cost-effective beef. The piece I chose has relatively good fascia and fat. Less ham meat, and it was warm-bodied beef that had been butchered no more than half an hour ago.
White water shrimp is delicious and has a delicate and smooth texture. It is the best among shrimps, and it does not change because of its affordable price. The batch of whitewater shrimp I selected comes from the southern region of Baishui, where the water quality is better and the quality of the whitewater shrimp produced is even higher.
As for the dish I’m going to make today, I’ll keep it secret for the time being, and I’ll naturally reveal it when it’s cooked. Mag replied with a smile while taking out his tools one by one and placing them on the operating table.
A solid wooden pillar, two large iron rods suspected of being murder weapons, and two transparent glass pots.
The judges nodded repeatedly after listening to Mag's words. It can be heard from Mag's answers that he indeed has a deep understanding of the ingredients he chose. He did not deliberately choose cheap ones, but chose high-quality ingredients. A cost-effective choice.
After experiencing yesterday's extreme case of cooking an ordinary piece of black sheep tooth lamb chop into a delicacy, the judges became more cautious in their evaluation.
Although as a judge, you must have the spirit of not being afraid of being slapped in the face, but being slapped in the face on the show is indeed not a pleasant thing.
Mag watched the teaching video compiled by yesterday's class representative. While giving a thumbs up to Million Editor, she also felt sorry for him for a few seconds.
Therefore, he still will not give live commentary today.
As an idol, being handsome enough is the most important thing.
The simply processed pig skin is boiled in a pot of water, but he needs to boil a pot of skin jelly.
He didn't rush to deal with the fresh whitewater shrimp. He washed the beef that still had the body temperature of the bison, trimmed off some fascia and fat, then picked up the two iron rods on the wooden pier and started beating it.
Boom, boom, boom! ! !
The iron rod hit the beef and made a sweet sound, like beating a high-quality drum.
The extremely fresh beef trembles slightly on the wooden pier, like an irresistible pounding massage.
At first glance, it looks a bit like a murder scene.
But if you look carefully, you can see that the beef is being beaten in turn by two iron rods weighing tens of kilograms, but there is no scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere. The fresh beef is tightly adhered to each other, becoming more and more sticky during the beating, and is moving at a speed visible to the naked eye. Changing shape.
"What is he doing?"
The judges and the audience were all confused.
