To put it bluntly, no large-scale event, including the Olympic Games, could be a loss, and it was impossible to hold it for a long time.

Did they really think that they could survive by relying on sponsors?

Using the Olympics as an example, his broadcasting fees, as well as the fees from selling the mascot, were all paid for the organizing committee. It was just like when you bought China’s Fuwa, the money was actually earned for the organizing committee.

There was no mascot for the bogus world cooking competition, but it was broadcasted in France, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, and more than a dozen other countries.

The organizers were very generous to the contestants, so naturally, they couldn’t make a loss. There were also more than 30000 audience seats, which was not a lot for 50000 or 80000 concerts.

However, for a cooking competition, even in the world, there was no bigger one.

Everyone had a variety of mother tongues, and the cheers were like a hodgepodge of all kinds of languages, including Ridian, English, French, Latin, and so on.

Of course, with his sharp ears and sharp eyes, Yuan Zhou even heard the voice of the Chinese mother tongue. Looking at the source of the voice, he was also touched.

Not only Zhou Shijie’s exchange group was seated there, but also the customers of more than 20 restaurants, Yuan Zhou’s apprentices, and a group of people. Of course, Dean and the others were very conspicuous as they were hiding there. After all, it was hard not to notice some golden-haired and blue-eyed people among a group of black-haired and black-eyed people.

The entire group didn’t seem to have many people, only about 100. However, they were the same as the other people who came to cheer for the contestants. They all carried banners and slogans, a standard cheering squad posture.

Yuan Zhou greeted them by nodding his head. Then, he found a kitchen counter that was closest to the audience. It happened to be the one on the far left and was considered to be in the corner. However, it was closer to Chairman Zhou and the others.

The rest of the participants had also chosen their cooking stoves. There were 20 contestants in total, and with the three assistants, there should be 80 people.

If it weren’t for the fact that the venue was spacious enough, it would have been crowded with dozens of people, but it didn’t feel like that now.

The judges ‘seats were on the stage opposite the stage. There were a total of eight judges sitting in a row.

The lights were deliberately dimmed, and the contestants were so bright that not many people noticed the heavyweight judges above.

“So that’s the person you’re trying to invite, even if it means breaking the rules?” Ju man Li looked at Yuan Zhou from head to toe and came to the conclusion that he would be eliminated in the first round.

“Why didn’t I know that the boguus world cooking competition has become a beauty contest? It looked like the outcome could be decided just now?” Auguste was also extremely rude.

The eight judges were evenly matched, with four from ju man’s group and four from his group.

“Hmph!” Seeing that the emcee was on stage, ju man Li was an old man who cared about his reputation. He immediately shut his mouth and put on a serious and high-end expression.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Jack, the host of this year’s bogus cooking competition. Welcome to the 18th cooking competition. Now, let me introduce the chefs who will be participating in this year’s top 10.” As soon as Jack went on stage, he showed a humorous stage.

Jack was a handsome man with black hair and blue eyes. He was over 1.8 meters tall and was a handsome man with a little fame in the France hosting circle.

“The first one is head chef Yuan, from the mysterious ancient country of the East and also known as the top peak of Asia. Although everyone might still be a little unfamiliar with head chef Yuan, he is the head chef who has secured the highest score in the personal cooking exhibition. His strength is definitely not to be underestimated. Let us welcome him.” Jack introduced Yuan Zhou as soon as he opened his mouth.

As for Yuan Zhou, when he heard the host’s introduction and the spotlight shone on his head, he nodded his head in the direction of the audience reservedly, with the manner of a master.

“Next up is an outstanding figure in the classical faction of the French cuisine world, head chef podraco, who has the reputation of being the king of delicacy. Let us welcome him.” Jack introduced them in measured tones every time.

It made people’s blood boil with emotion when they heard it, so the audience below was very respectful. As long as a chef was introduced, screams would be heard.

There was a commotion. Other than podraco, Julian, and Butler, no one could tell which head chef was more popular.

After introducing the contestants, Jack began to introduce the judges. Apart from August and ju man Li, there were also Manfred, Gauss, and Anthony, most of whom Yuan Zhou was familiar with. As for ju man Li, he was on the side of Alexander, adlaide, and Abby, baodraco’s master.

They were all famous big shots in the European food and beverage industry. As they introduced them one by one, the atmosphere at the scene was even more intense than before.

Next up was the speech by the chairman of the tournament’s organizing committee, August.

Different from his usual behavior in the restaurant or in front of Yuan Zhou, August, who went on the stage to give a speech, was very serious and stylish. As a result, the customers of the restaurant who found him familiar didn’t dare to recognize him for a while.

It could be seen that the contrast was still quite big.

“Next, the competition will begin. The theme of this competition is chicken, bris chicken. Use it as the main ingredient to cook an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert.” After Auguste left, Jack immediately announced the main content of the competition.

“I hereby announce the official start of the competition!” Although Jack was a bit naughty, he didn’t beat around the bush and immediately announced the start.

After this order was given, many of the participating chefs on the stage began to get busy.”Clang, clang, clang.” From time to time, the sound of kitchenware colliding with each other could be heard.

“This bris chicken sounds pretty good?” Tang Xi had never heard of this chicken’s name.

“I know. This is definitely a delicious chicken.” Wu Hai said first and conveniently nudged Chu Xiao,”Idiot Chu, do you know about this chicken?”

“It’s the National chicken of France. Almost every French person knows about this chicken. The meat is fresh and tender with a slight Milky taste. It’s considered a relatively high-end ingredient in French food.” Chu Xiao said directly.

“Isn’t it delicious?”

In the ears of the customers of the restaurant, the taste of the chicken was pretty good. If it was cooked by Yuan Zhou, it would definitely be more delicious. Just thinking about it made them drool.

“It’s a pity that they didn’t invite judges from other industries this time. Otherwise, I would have been able to eat it too.” Wu Hai looked at the direction of the rostrum pitifully and then began to focus on Yuan Zhou’s every move.

As long as Yuan Zhou started to cook, he would put everything else aside.

When he heard Jack say that the theme was bris chicken, he began to think about how to cook it to taste good.

“This chicken has a good taste and is suitable for many dishes.” It was no exaggeration to say that the dishes that Yuan Zhou knew were the most on the scene.

Because he was thinking about it while sorting out the ingredients he had so far, he seemed very leisurely, which formed a sharp contrast with the other chefs who were already busy.
