At this moment, Aramis hurriedly went along with the flow, speaking while gratefully looking at Chen Guomin.
Although they didn’t share a common language, from those eyes, Chen Guomin could already see what Aramis wanted to say to him — "You’re quite a good person!"
The announcement of Chen Guomin’s result also indicated that Wang Fan had already won three rounds in a row.
Moreover, the break in this round was long, and his stamina had greatly recovered, so going all out in the next round would be no problem.
Sweeping his gaze across the France Team members, Wang Fan’s eyes locked on the only female contestant.
"Sofia, a two-star Michelin pastry chef, 26 years old, an extreme sports enthusiast, likes to challenge the strong. Boss, if you win big in the third round, regardless of how they arrange it, this pastry chef named Sofia will definitely apply to compete herself in the fourth round, and Durand won’t disagree. Based on the information my classmates have gathered, this pastry chef Sofia has a very strong inner strength and is very serious about desserts; external factors are unlikely to disturb her. This is bound to be a tough battle.
Her greatest likelihood is to make a Napoleon, which is a French mille-feuille. This dessert will perform well in terms of flavor and texture. Boss, you should be careful as this is sure to be a tough battle."
One notable characteristic of college students is that they love to join in the fun, and when there’s a showdown between domestic and foreign competitors, they tend to side with the domestic team.
Boss Wang, who once made delicious meals at Kainan University, was competing against a foreigner, so naturally, people wanted to join the fun and offer advice.
Three cobblers with their wits combined make a cunning strategist like Zhuge Liang, so what of a group of standout students from Kainan University?
Professor Liu was also an intriguing person. Seeing that everyone was focused on Wang Fan and not interested in classes, he directly turned researching these French pastry chefs into a project.
The dean of the department heard about this and not only didn’t stop it but also assigned some senior students who didn’t have classes to join in. It’s hard to find such practical topics that also interest students, so why miss out?
Those who understood French went on foreign websites to collect information, which was then compiled, filtered, analyzed, and used to make predictions.
These pastry chefs were indeed famous, and it was easy to find information about them and the restaurants they worked at. By analyzing their personal profiles, their personalities and styles were largely deduced, and they nearly managed to predict what actions they would take. If they wanted to, they could probably analyze information about their ancestors as well.
At first, Wang Fan thought he only had two tactical advisors behind him; who could have imagined there would be an entire team of tactical advisors? frёeωebɳovel.com
It felt like entering a duel, and the opponent pulled out an AK-47. Originally thinking he was at a disadvantage, he turned around to find an entire armored brigade behind him!
Wang Fan didn’t doubt the conclusions drawn by Zhuo Qianqian and her classmates; you might not believe in mysticism, but results calculated based on big data are scientific and must be believed.
If the opponent made a Napoleon mille-feuille, how should he respond?
The form of "mille-feuille" desserts also exists in Huaxia, with his previous lotus pastry being one of the representatives.
Since the opponent likes to challenge the strong, should he not cower as well?
Wang Fan’s gaze slightly focused, and he already had an idea in mind.
Since I’ve figured you out, let’s go head-to-head, with "mille-feuille" against "mille-feuille." Huaxia desserts are not inferior to any country’s desserts!
...
There are no secrets in the face of big data.
The arrangement by the France Team was exactly as Kainan University students predicted, and indeed Sofia was sent onto the field.
Sofia was tall, wearing a neat chef’s uniform that exuded a strong presence. She looked at Wang Fan without speaking, but the battle spirit in her eyes was unmistakable.
A battle of the strong!
Wang Fan understood the meaning contained in her eyes.
Wang Fan didn’t speak either, but his determined gaze conveyed the message — bring it on, who’s afraid of who?
The cameraman captured this scene perfectly, and viewers could feel the battle intent between the two, making even them a bit tense.
This was a showdown without any nonsense.
As the host announced the start of the timer, the two moved simultaneously.
Wang Fan’s speed was not inferior to the last ten minutes of the previous match, and Sofia on the other side was also not lagging, as if both had turned on a speed-up function. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Zhang Tao marveled: "We can see that both contestants are moving very quickly, like they’re racing against time. As a layperson, I naturally don’t understand the reason behind this, so let’s have Judge Teacher Chen explain it to us."
Chen Guomin cleared his throat and said: "The reason the two are acting like this is entirely because they are indeed racing against time. Looking at the materials they have prepared, it can be basically confirmed that both are making pastry desserts, and whether it’s the Chinese pastry dessert Wang Fan intends to make, or the French pastry dessert contestant Sofia plans to create, both require a lot of time. Two hours seem like a lot, but to make a good pastry dessert, they need to almost race against time, otherwise, they might not finish by the time’s up."
Allen picked up: "Sofia wants to make our French classic dessert, the French mille-feuille. This dessert typically requires more than three hours from preparation to completion. To compress the workload of three hours into two, she undoubtedly needs to make herself faster."
