Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 534 - : The Wilderness
Chapter 534: Chapter 534: The Wilderness
Blake Walker glanced at Larry Bennett.
He didn’t even look at Cindy Clarke.
Cindy couldn’t wait to see him embarrassed.
Although Larry had just confronted him earlier.
But before that, Larry didn’t talk much and was quite polite to everyone.
Blake Walker had a good impression of Larry Bennett.
He thought that the one with the highest emotional quotient in this situation was Larry Bennett.
The only one he could count on was Larry Bennett.
Unexpectedly, Larry Bennett didn’t even look at him, so naturally, he couldn’t receive his gaze.
Larry Bennett nodded directly to Cindy Clarke.
Cindy then led them to the side of Pingla Academy.
Leaving Blake Walker alone, the atmosphere was particularly awkward.
Fortunately, Blake Walker didn’t feel awkward for too long.
At this time, the staff came in.
All the people stopped talking and looked at the staff.
But the staff didn’t speak, after a while, Grace Green, the host of the major competition, came in.
“Everyone, today’s competition is different from the previous ones. This time we will hold an outdoor cooking competition,” Grace Green said.
“We will send you to the wild, and you need to source your ingredients on the spot. We will only provide you with the most basic tools, such as cooking knives, but these knives will not be as complete as the ones you used before.”
Another staff member pushed in five carts.
On each cart are three sets of knives, a total of 15 sets.
Grace Green said, “As you can see, there are 15 sets of knives here, including chef’s knife, bone-cleaving knife, multitool, paring knife, slicing knife, and bread knife.”
“There are six knives in total, but each of you can only choose one. It’s up to you to decide what kind of knife to choose.”
There are three layers in the cart.
The top layer is where the knives are placed.
The second layer has ropes, matches, and a signal flare gun.
The third layer has backpacks.
“These are all the things you will have in the wild,” said Grace Green.
“Now it’s 13:00,” Grace Green checked her watch, “you will arrive at your destination around 14:30. All the ingredients you need to obtain in the wild. The judges will arrive at your destination at 20:30 for a tasting.”
“In other words, you have six hours to prepare, including capturing the ingredients and completing the cuisine,” said Grace Green.
“We have also prepared a signal flare gun for each of you. If anyone can’t continue or gets injured, you can fire the signal flare gun into the sky. Our staff will come to pick you up immediately,” said Grace Green.
“But remember, once the signal is fired and the staff picks you up, you will lose your qualification to advance and be automatically eliminated,” Grace Green said.
“Will it be dangerous in the wild today? We even have to use signal flare guns,” Ava Brown asked.
Everyone else wanted to know too.
“I can’t say for sure, but after all, it’s an outdoor activity. No one can guarantee that you won’t get hurt 100%. Considering safety, the organizer must take the greatest responsibility to ensure the safety of all contestants.”
“We must be well prepared, regardless of whether we will encounter any dangers. The organizer must have all the necessary preparations. Moreover, considering that some of you may have nothing in these six hours, it is hard to guarantee that you will not be physically or mentally exhausted. It’s not that you are physically injured, you just can’t support it mentally and want to leave.”
“It’s also considering the situation where you may get hurt accidentally or unintentionally while capturing the ingredients, processing the ingredients, and making the cuisine,” explained Grace Green.
“Just like the first two rounds of the competition, there were doctors waiting outside to prevent you from being injured. It’s not that you will encounter any danger, it’s just to prevent accidents,” said Grace Green, “So, don’t be too nervous.”
“Just compete as usual, the more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes. It’s not good to get hurt when you are in a hurry,” said Grace Green, “Please rest assured, the organizer has done its best to ensure your safety.”
“Of course, I would like to remind you all to know your limits and don’t push yourself too hard. The most important thing is your physical and mental health. If you really can’t persist, you must notify the organizer. Don’t lose more than you gain after something happens,” Grace Green reminded them.
“Don’t worry,” Parker Honi was the first to speak out, raising his chin high, “We will definitely make sure of our physical and mental health first.”
Everyone: “…”
Those under Pingla Academy now understood. Parker Honi was not aloof; he just hadn’t passed through his adolescent phase yet, and he was very straightforward, with no deep thoughts at all.
He only understood the literal meaning of others’ words, not wasting any brain cells on deep thinking.
Bartholomew Bailey covered his face, realizing they couldn’t hide the fact that their number one this year was a fool.
Grace Green smiled and said, “Then, everyone, choose the knife you need. Remember, you can only choose one.”
Everyone went to the cart to make their choices.
Blake Walker looked around, trying to see how others chose.
Except for him, no one else looked around at other people’s choices.
They all quickly chose the knives they wanted.
Cindy Clarke chose a multitool.
The multitool is actually the slightly slender knife commonly used by chefs in Western cuisine.
This kind of knife is lightweight and easy to handle, making it suitable for girls.
The blade is slim and the tip is sharp.
It can be used for various purposes.
Cutting, boning, etc.
Under the circumstance where only one knife could be chosen, Cindy chose this one.
More versatile and easier to use.
The chef’s knife and bone-cleaving knife used in Chinese cuisine are similar in shape.
Chopping meat is more convenient, but it’s not flexible enough for other uses.
Everyone chose very quickly and knew what they wanted from the start.
Only Blake Walker was the last to choose.
It was really because he also knew that his skill level was the worst among all the contestants.
Since he knew he was the worst, he wasn’t confident and couldn’t trust his own judgment.
He was more willing to see how those strong competitors chose.
However, by doing so, he put himself at a disadvantage.
Imitating others like a parrot, not only looked down upon but also ignored what suited him best.
In the end, Blake Walker followed Cindy’s example and chose the multitool.
Because he was the last to choose.
Other contestants who had chosen earlier also saw his little actions.
Leon Hernandez sneered disdainfully.
“Just now, you said that Cindy Clarke’s scores were inflated, but now you are copying her choice,” Leon Hernandez said bluntly, “If you have the ability, don’t copy others.”
