Chapter 316 Ningguang’s invitation to cooperate (page 12)
After Xiangling left, Safir, Ying, and little Paimon walked around the pier again, calculated the time, and headed to the venue of Yujing Terrace when they felt it was almost time.
"Welcome to the finals of this year's Chef King Competition. I am Yan Fei, who was invited by the organizing committee to serve as the notary and host of this competition!"
At the Yujing Terrace venue, a half-fairy girl dressed in red introduced herself gracefully.
Seeing Yan Fei, little Paimon expressed his surprise: "It's Yan Fei! She's actually here too!"
They arrived a little late, and Yan Fei had already begun to introduce the schedule: "This King of Kitchen Competition is hosted by Liyue Qixing and hosted by multiple units. It is divided into two stages: preliminaries and finals.
Contestants from various regions in Liyue first entered the pre-selection process and showed their talents. The two strongest contestants will be shortlisted for today's finals.
Later, the finals will be held right here, right in front of you! As a notary, I would like to notarize this final on behalf of the organizing committee and all the people of Liyue. "
After talking about the competition schedule, she turned and looked at the judges' seat. It was a long table, facing the competition field, with a good view and a good viewing position. There were four chairs behind the long table, but only three of them were seated. Personally, there is obviously one more judge who is not in place.
Yan Fei didn't seem to notice this problem and continued: "Let me introduce the judges of this competition to you. The judges are divided into two parts: the on-field judges and the off-field judges. There are four on-field judges, namely-"
At this point, she suddenly stopped. She said there were four people, but there were only three. How should we introduce them? Just when Yan Fei was in trouble, Ning Guang, who was sitting on the judges' bench, stood up and walked slowly to Safire.
Looking at Safier's puzzled eyes, Ningguang smiled slightly and explained: "In the previous qualifiers, there were many players and the environment was complicated. You didn't come to watch. At that time, I was thinking that you should watch the finals. Check it out. It turns out that I was right.
How about it, are you interested in tasting it? "
Looking at the elegant Tianquan Star in front of him, Safire pointed to the vacant judges' seat over there: "You mean... let me sit over there?"
"Hmm~" Ningguang raised his eyebrows, "What? Are you not satisfied?"
There was a black line on Safire's forehead: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied...it's just that it's such a big show..." Isn't it a bit inappropriate?
But Ningguang didn't care whether she thought it was suitable or not, and directly pulled her to take a seat. The judges' seats from right to left were Safire, Keqing, and Ningguang.
The judge on the far side is the predecessor Tianshu Xing who resigned some time ago: Uncle Tian.
This formed a four-person jury. The abdicated Uncle Tian and Safier, who was apparently a fool, sat on both sides, while the current Qixing Keqing and Ningguang sat in the middle, taking the main position.
All the judges were seated. Yan Fei cleared her throat and spoke again: "Okay, now our judges have arrived. Let me introduce them again. The judges on the court are -
Tianquan? Miss Ningguang.
Yuheng? Miss Keqing.
Senior gourmet? Uncle Tian.
And the envoy of the Solstice Kingdom, Miss Aurora Saffir.
In addition to these four, the organizing committee will also select nine people from the crowd watching the competition to taste the dishes prepared by the contestants and vote.
In other words, there are a total of thirteen judges on and off the field, and the thirteen valid votes will be cast for the two contestants respectively. The one with the highest vote will be today's champion. "
After Yan Fei’s introduction, there was warm applause from the surrounding area. The King of Kitchen Competition is a popular event this month. There were so many people watching the finals that the Yujing Terrace turned into a sea of cheers.
Little Paimon was infected by the atmosphere and clapped hard, exclaiming: "Wow! It looks impressive!"
When the audience's shouts subsided, Yan Fei raised her hand to signal for silence, and then said: "Now, here is the much-anticipated contestants' entrance! I invite you two!"
As Yan Fei finished speaking, the two finalists walked onto the stage together. With Yan Fei's unique voice, the contestants' information was also revealed.
"The one standing on the left is the contestant this time. The Dihuazhou competition area selects the seed contestants - the sword produces fragrance, the quick knife chef, Yan Xiao!" Yan Fei's introduction was a bit exaggerated. Safire looked at Yan Xiao's extraordinary momentum and said, I just feel the muscles on my face twitching, Yan Xiao? Xia? Zundu and fake toot?
Yan Xiao stepped forward like an iron tower. His tall body made Yan Fei look petite and delicate, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his cowardly temperament was instantly exposed: "Um...Hello everyone...Hello everyone."
"Cough..." Safire heard a slight cough coming from beside him, and couldn't help but turn his head to look. He saw Keqing biting her lips tightly, the corners of her mouth twitching, as if she wanted to laugh but was forced to hold it back.
At this moment, she was extremely glad that she had become a facial paralysis, otherwise her current situation, which had always been difficult to manage her expression, would not be much better than that of Keqing.
The incident on stage naturally didn't attract anyone else's attention, and now everyone's attention was focused on Yan Xiao.
Little Paimon and Ying stood not far away, looking at the people on the stage and exclaimed: "Wow, Yanxiao has entered the finals! But why, he looks so nervous."
Ying nodded and replied: "After all, it is a big occasion, so it is normal to be nervous."
After listening to Ying's words, little Paimon nodded thoughtfully. After thinking about it, she decided to encourage her friend: "Yanxiao, show your skills. You are the pride of the boss and the shopkeeper!"
Hearing little Paimon's voice, Yan Xiao noticed Ying and little Paimon in the audience. Seeing an acquaintance made him relax a lot. He immediately took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.
The originally nervous mood calmed down a bit, and Yan Xiao felt that he felt much better.
After introducing Yan Xiao, Yan Fei then introduced Xiang Ling: "The one standing on the right is the contestant of this competition. The Liyue Port Division has selected the strongest player - the fierce and skillful cook, Xiang Ling!" Xiang Ling took advantage of the situation to face the audience. They waved their hands as a greeting, and Guo Ba also followed her to the stage.
Seeing Guo Ba, Yan Fei quickly added: "And her mysterious helper partner - I don't know who it is!"
Safire was helpless. She turned her head and asked Keqing beside her: "Who came up with this introduction? It's so embarrassing."
Keqing shook her head repeatedly: "I don't know, it's not me anyway. It's probably Ningguang."
Hearing her name, Ningguang also turned her gaze, but she didn't hear Safire's words. She just glanced at Keqing and Safire lightly and said nothing.
Little Paimon was very dissatisfied with this. She put her hands on her hips and corrected: "It's rice cakes!"
However, her voice was drowned in the cheers of the audience and was not heard by anyone else.
The roaring cheers at the scene have not subsided for a long time. It can be seen that Xiangling's reputation has long been heard in Liyue Port and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
After finally waiting for the audience to calm down, Xiang Ling quickly said: "Hello everyone! I will work hard!"
The appearance session was finally over. Yan Fei looked around and confirmed that both parties had nothing to say, so she started the next process: "Please two contestants follow me and swear: As the finalists of this year's Chef King Competition, .I will try my best to complete the game process fairly."
