Is there something wrong with making food a beast?

Chapter 365
"So, what's the connection between the two?"

Qin Lang thought for a moment, but still couldn't think of the connection between setting the theme of the scoring competition as pasta and counterattacking the star hunters.

"This is mainly for the better evacuation of personnel." Zhou Tianhao explained, "In order not to cause widespread panic, the association made a final decision through discussion and will not disclose the truth of the star hunter's notice."

"In this way, if the Star Hunter really comes, a decent reason is needed as a cover."

"You mean..."

Qin Lang vaguely understood something, showing a thoughtful expression.

"That's right, it's exactly what you think." Zhou Tianhao nodded slowly, "The theme of the scoring competition is set to be pasta, and the Star Hunter will appear later, and the association will define the opponent as an extremist who is dissatisfied with the theme of the scoring competition."

"I see." Qin Lang nodded clearly.

He could tell that Zhou Tianhao only mentioned part of the reasons, and there must be other considerations that ultimately led to this result.

"But in this way, it will be somewhat difficult to get a high score in the scoring competition." Shen Qian on the side had a bitter face, showing a helpless look.

"This is indeed a problem, but I believe that the senior judges of the association who are the judges of the scoring competition should have the most basic professionalism and not judge too subjectively." Zhou Tianhao comforted.

"I can only hope so." Shen Qian sighed, then turned to look at Qin Lang, "Qin Lang, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking..." Qin Lang rubbed his chin, showing a thoughtful expression, "What kind of food is it, count it as pasta."

"Huh?" Shen Qian rolled her eyes, "Why would you ask such a basic question, the so-called pasta refers to food made from flour."

"Of course I know." Qin Lang nodded, "So I was thinking, if I use ingredients other than flour to make pasta that can be faked, will the judges give me points."

At this moment, he thought of a special delicacy called raw fish noodles.

This delicacy is made of fish meat beaten into noodles, and even the taste is quite similar, but there is no trace of flour added in the whole process, only sweet potato starch is added.

There is still a difference between flour and starch. The former refers to flour made from wheat, while the latter is made from potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, etc.

"Huh?" Hearing Qin Lang's words, Shen Qian's eyes lit up suddenly.

Yup!

Since the residents of Xianyu Market are against eating pasta, is it possible to gain higher recognition by disguising other ingredients as pasta, so as to score high in the scoring competition?
It sounds like it is very feasible.

"It's a good idea, but it's a pity we can't." Zhou Tianhao spread his hands and pointed to a line of small words on the phone, "For the theme of pasta, the organizer has given a strict definition, and wheat flour must be used for cooking."

Qin Lang: "..."

Shen Qian: "..."

In this way, the idea they just thought of might not work.

"It seems that we can only prepare pasta honestly." Shen Qian sighed, "Let me make seafood noodles. The residents of Xianyu Market like seafood very much, so the resistance to pasta may be less."

"My words..." Qin Lang stroked his chin, "I'll think about it again."

Since raw fish noodles and other similar tricks don't work, there is only one way to change it.

He currently has some ideas, but not quite sure yet.

Fortunately, there are still two days to prepare.

"Let's go." He put on his coat reluctantly, "The three days of relaxation are over, and it's time for intense preparations for the competition."

"You will be nervous? I don't believe it at all." Shen Qian curled her lips, but the speed of putting on her coat was no slower than Qin Lang's.

There are a total of 39 contestants in this string fish market cooking competition. Like Qin Lang and Shen Qian, they received the theme selected by the scoring competition immediately.

There were surprises and doubts, but after confirming that the organizer would not change the selected theme, they could only bite the bullet and start their respective preparations.

In the huge Xianyu Market, there seems to be an undercurrent surging. Everyone vaguely noticed that this Xianyu Market Cooking Competition was unusual, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

Two days passed quickly.

After two days of preparation, Qin Lang finally decided on the delicacies to take out for the scoring competition.

Even though the local residents have certain prejudices about pasta, he also believes that this pasta dish can allow them to temporarily let go of their prejudices.

...

"Wow!"

Standing in the crowded team, looking at the strange building in front of him, which looks like a big fish and like a sail, Shen Qian's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help exclaiming, "It's so beautiful! This is the competition in Xianyu Market. field?"

"The architectural style is indeed very special." Zhou Tianhao on the side nodded in agreement, then looked at Qin Lang and Shen Qian, "You two are going to the competition track."

"Yes." Qin Lang nodded, "I need to enter the venue early and communicate with the organizer."

"Me too." Shen Qian said not to be outdone.

Scoring competitions in the transparent mode rarely occur in city-level competitions, but Qin Lang and Shen Qian chose this method by coincidence.

This means that the warm-up performance originally prepared by the organizer is unnecessary, and it is natural to make a final confirmation with the players to avoid any mistakes in the arrangement, which will affect the viewability of the event.

"I'll just watch your game from the audience, come on!" Zhou Tianhao shook the tickets in his hand and waved towards the two of them.

What Zhou Tianhao got was the auditorium seat closest to the competition venue in the arena. He didn't buy such a precious seat ticket at a high price, but was issued to him in advance by the Royal Chef Association.

Watching the game is only one of the purposes, and the most important reason is to shoot at any time when the star hunter appears.

"Brother Zhou, let's see you in the stadium!" Qin Lang and the two waved at Zhou Tianhao, then turned and walked up the contestant aisle.

On the other side of the aisle, a middle-aged man with a staff hangtag on his chest walked up to him with a smile on his face, "The two contestants are Qin Lang and Shen Qian, right?"

"Yes!" x2
"Now for the last confirmation before the competition, are you sure you want to open the transparent mode in the scoring competition?"

"That's right." x2
"Understood." The middle-aged man nodded slightly, "That's right. In the state-level cooking competitions, there is a clear regulation that the transparent mode has extra scoring weight, but there is no such regulation in the municipal-level cooking competitions."

"So you two won't get much advantage in the competition when you turn on the transparent mode." The middle-aged man's voice paused, "However, in order to express encouragement for open cooking, the host will mention this before the competition begins. "

"That's enough." Qin Lang smiled.

Before the start of the game, the host mentioned that during the whole cooking process, the eyes of the audience will be on him and Shen Qian, right?

This is exactly what he wants.
