Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 573 The First Day

Yu Yitong and David followed Malu, watching him wandering around and chatting with the contestants. He kept going until almost 12 o'clock in the evening, still full of energy.

On the contrary, David, who was in charge of the filming, was already yawning.

Yu Yitong went to the vending machine and bought two bottles of Nestle coffee. She drank half of the bottle and gave the other bottle to David, and even opened the pull ring for him.

"Thank you, boss." David sighed as he drank. "Damn it, don't you think Boss Ma is sleepy? The other contestants are all resting up now, doesn't he need to prepare for tomorrow's game?"

“I don’t know,” Yu Yitong said, “but I just asked a contestant who was chatting with him, and they seemed to be talking about something related to cooking.”

"I see," David slapped his thigh, "Sun Tzu's Art of War says that only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Boss Ma is trying to find out the strength of his opponent."

"Maybe." Yu Yitong also stretched.

After Malu came out of the room of Indonesian chef Pevera, he finally couldn't find anyone willing to chat with him.

At this time, most of the players have gone to bed.

Malu also planned to go back to his room, and Yu Yitong and David followed him.

"No way, you guys are taking pictures of me even when I'm sleeping?" Malu was speechless.

"We'll just film you entering the room and some activities before going to bed. These materials may or may not be used. We'll leave when you want to sleep and won't disturb your rest." Yu Yitong said.

"But I feel like you guys are always watching me. Luckily Lao Wang didn't come, otherwise you guys would have discovered his alien identity."

"Boss Ma, you are so humorous." David chuckled.

Malu took the elevator and returned to his room.

His luggage has been brought up by the waiter.

Malu inserted the room card into the power slot to light up the room, then casually placed the bottle of blueberry jam that Qi Shanzhu had given him on the coffee table.

David also gave a close-up of the bottle of blueberry jam.

Then Malu changed into the hotel slippers, sat on the edge of the bed, opened the suitcase, and took out a pair of clean underwear and an electric toothbrush.

Yu Yitong turned his head away.

"Really? You guys insisted on taking the photo. It's not like you haven't seen it before."

David was shocked when he heard this, feeling that he had photographed something extraordinary, and turned to look at Yu Yitong.

The latter said, "Stop filming, let's stop here today."

"Can't we just cut it out?" David muttered softly, but he didn't dare to disobey his boss's order, so he could only turn off the camera.

"Just delete that sentence when we get back." Yu Yitong said again.

"Roger that, boss."

"If you don't have anything else to do, I'm going to take off my clothes and take a shower." Malu ordered them to leave.

"Then we'll come back tomorrow morning. You should have a good rest." Yu Yitong said.

After that she left with David.

After they left, Millipede could finally take out his Mini Lao Wang to charge.

Watching Lao Wang plug the metal round wire into the socket, Malu asked, "How about it, did those dozen chefs we just talked to give you any inspiration?"

Lao Wang said, “I can feel their passion and dedication to cooking, but if you want to really know and understand a chef, you still have to look at the dishes they make.”

"I see," Malu snapped his fingers, "Then let's finish tomorrow's competition quickly, and then we can go and see other people's creative process." "Well, we also have to think of a way for you to communicate more conveniently with other chefs. I was the one doing most of the talking just now, but I'm not a chef, so I still can't keep up with the topic. And the interview..."

Ma Lu paused and said, "The first day is just a normal follow-up shoot, but there should be more professional interviews later, especially after winning the championship. You will also have to do this part."

"When I'm not cooking, you can plug in the traveler bracelet," said Lao Wang, "then you can use the bracelet's projection function to communicate with me. Those projections are only visible to you."

"Oh, that's a good idea. Let's do it then," Malu grabbed the electric toothbrush and some spare clothes.

"I'm going to take a shower. You can watch whatever TV you want. Just turn down the volume so as not to disturb my sleep."

…………

Early the next morning, Malu received a wake-up call from the guest room. He looked at the time, it was 7:33.

This time is a bit late for office workers, but too early for capitalists.

Because of the existence of the desktop farm, the Infinite Universe Canteen does not need to purchase ingredients early in the morning, so Millipede usually sleeps until 10 o'clock before getting up.

In addition, Malu visited too many chefs last night, so he was a little sleep-deprived and kept yawning when he left the house.

When I passed by Qi Shanzhu's room, I found that her door was open and Qi Shanzhu was doing yoga inside.

After seeing Malu, she waved at him and said with a smile, "Good morning."

"Morning, you woke up pretty early."

Qi Shanzhu said, "I have the habit of exercising in the morning."

Malu originally wanted to chat with Qi Shanzhu about the five-dollar yoga, but he saw Yu Yitong and David carrying a camera at the other end of the corridor.

I could only change the subject and say, "I'm going to have breakfast, do you want to join me?"

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll touch up my makeup."

Ten minutes later, Malu and Qi Shanzhu arrived at the buffet breakfast restaurant on the second floor, where they met Kawano Zhengming and Sun Mei.

When Malu found out that there was a photography team following each of them, he felt relieved.

Humans are such creatures that they feel balanced when they see someone else suffering the same misfortune as themselves.

However, according to Yu Yitong's previous statement, this also means that Meiping.com is also very optimistic about the two and believes that they have the ability to win the championship.

In addition, Malu also met Master Luang Pu Sen, whom he failed to meet yesterday, as well as the Seoul magician Choi Jun-hyun, who is the biggest favorite to win the championship, and the inheritor of Huaiyang cuisine Luo Junkang.

Choi Joon-hyun reportedly arrived at the hotel in the afternoon, but his interview appointments were fully booked as soon as he landed, so he has not shown up since.

As for Luo Junkang, he closed the door and refused to see visitors after arriving at the hotel to adjust his state. This was also his habit before competitions or important guests.

He needed to adjust his body and mind to achieve the state of unity between man and nature. For this purpose, he went to Mount Zhongnan to become a disciple of an internal martial arts master and learn the methods of self-cultivation.

At 8:10, Malu and other contestants entered the competition venue one after another under the guidance of the staff.

This is the largest banquet hall in the hotel, covering an area of ​​over 1600 square meters, enough to accommodate thousands of people dining at the same time.

It is now filled with cooking stations, in addition to audience seats and a judges' podium.

Unlike other competitions, the judges' seats for the first round of the MasterChef Contest are facing away from the cooking table.

This way, the judges won’t know whose dishes they are eating, and this can also, to a certain extent, prevent favoritism or misleading by the contestants’ fame.
