Food: The super chef just wants to set up a stall leisurely

The fat man turned around and saw Zhao Xiaojing standing behind him. He was so happy at first that he couldn't stop smiling. But when he turned around, he saw Wen Xinyuan was even more excited than him. Then he looked at Guan Yingxia standing behind him and his eyes almost popped out.

"You chose him?" the fat man said with a feeling of grievance.

"Our dishes will overlap to some extent, so he is more suitable. If I choose him, the mirror will definitely choose you."

"That's right! What's wrong with choosing me? It's safer to choose me. Fatty, just wait and see this time!" Wen Xinyuan boasted.

"Now we are distributing task cards for each group. The five task cards are exactly the same." The staff distributed the cards in their hands to each team leader, and finally stood between the fat man and Wen Xinyuan.

The two people who were squinting took the task card, turned their heads away, and stopped fighting.

"Now, please be quiet. Each captain should look at the mission card in his or her hand and listen to me explain the mission rules in detail.

Your task card has three sections. On the left are five banquets with different themes, in the middle are the price points for each banquet, and on the right are the scores corresponding to each price point. For example, meal number one is "Songhe Changchun," with "Songhe Changchun" being the theme and naturally representing a birthday banquet. Meal number two is "Hua Hao Yue Yuan," with "Hua Hao Yue Yuan" being the theme and generally representing a wedding banquet. Meal number three is "Zha Zha Feng Yun," with "Zha Zha Feng Yun" being the theme and generally representing a business banquet. The same applies to the other items. When deciding on dishes and cooking, you should naturally keep the theme in mind.

中间的数字，1 8 8 8元，2 8 8 8元，3 8 8 8元，4 8 8 8元，6 8 8 8元，这五个价格，就代表宴席的不同价格档位。

最右边的分数，5 0分，6 0分，7 0分，8 0分，1 0 0分，这些，是从上到下，和中间的价格一一对应的。比如5 0分对应着最上边的1 8 8 8元，就代表做这个价位的菜，能拿到5 0分。1 0 0分对应着6 8 8 8元，代表做这个价位的菜，能拿到1 0 0分。”工作人员适时停下。

"If you have to choose among ten people in a group, of course you'll choose the one with 1 points. But if you have ten people cooking a table of food, is it reasonable to choose the one with 0 points?"

"If I can only choose one group, I have to choose 1 points, although the requirements for different price ranges are definitely different."

“选1 0 0的也不是每个人都能拿1 0 0分吧，要不然队长这个职务是干嘛用的？只要是个官，就得有点特权吧？”

Several contestants discussed in low voices.

"There's a reason for the significant difference in scores. Different price points and scores naturally require different requirements. You're all seasoned chefs, so the logic behind this is readily apparent," the staff member said with a smile. "However, 1 points is the limit for banquets, not yours. If you're capable, we wouldn't object to you creating all five banquets."

当然，同一种宴席和同一种价格只能选择一次，比如你选了一号套餐搭配3 8 8 8元的价格，一号套餐和3 8 8 8元的次数即同时用尽，不可再被选择。

As for the price of the banquet, we do not set any requirements. You can discuss and decide for yourself."

"That means we can choose all of them and get a total of... 3 points?" A player from Luo Junlang's team calculated carefully.

"Whether you can get a full 3 points depends on your ability. I only know that each price range has its own score, and different scores naturally have different requirements. The higher the score, the higher the requirements.

Now that we've mentioned this, let me explain the scoring rules in detail. Each banquet is for a standard ten-person table. Each team will report to a designated restaurant, which will be completely empty. You will be responsible for understanding the restaurant and kitchen, deciding the menu, and purchasing ingredients. All cooking details and steps are the responsibility of your team. The production team will provide funding, but no manpower support.

The guests will be the actual guests of the hotel, and the banquets you prepare will be booked as banquets for the hotel. After the banquet, we will invite the guests to rate the banquet. The scoring standard is the score corresponding to the price of the banquet. After that, we will take the average of the guests' scores as the public judges' score.

The scores from the public judges account for 7% of your team's total score. The remaining 0% will be assessed and scored by our professional judges based on your banquet's cost, profit, presentation, service, speed of serving, and whether it fits the theme.

The combined scores of the public judges and professional judges will be your team's final score.

How you distribute your points is up to you, but you cannot go against the rules on the back of the card.

The team with the highest total score at the end will receive an additional five points for each member.”

After the staff finished explaining the rules, the contestants fell silent. After a while, someone asked, "If we prepare five banquets, do all five tables of guests arrive at the restaurant at the same time?"

"No matter how many sets you finally choose, all banquets will start on time at 12 o'clock. The speed of serving, temperature and taste of the dishes will of course also be taken into consideration when guests give their ratings." The staff replied with a smile.

"Twenty minutes is the best we can get the food ready. No later than that."

"I'm afraid it's just a dream to get all five sets. It's not worth it!"

"Come get the three sets at the lowest price, prepare the dishes in advance, and when ten people work together, it will be ready in twenty minutes."

"We also have to consider serving food, entertaining guests, and pouring tea. The restaurant is vacant, so we have to do all these things ourselves. We have to divide people to do these things. How can ten people do it together?"

"Two sets, two sets is the limit."

The contestants frowned and talked among themselves.

The fat man held his chin up and looked at everyone in his team from beginning to end. After thinking for a long time, he leaned close to Zhao Xiaojing and whispered, "Sister Jingzi, who in our group do you remember? Any impression is fine. Do you remember anyone?"

Zhao Xiaojing followed the fat man's gaze and looked around. Her eyes moved, and she realized that the fat man was measuring people in advance before hiring. "The guy in yellow clothes, he cooked fish for the competition yesterday. He couldn't find the seasoning or other ingredients several times, which wasted a lot of time. He didn't have any plan, but he's very strong. He could knock the fish unconscious with his hands even if he couldn't find a stick. The skinny guy in black clothes, the moment Teacher Dang Yongge took a look at his hands yesterday, he immediately handed me a tissue. The moment he turned his head, he immediately helped to get water. He has good sense. The guy in white clothes with a big beard, you can tell he buys groceries frequently. He weighed the piece of meat yesterday and cut it in half with a knife. The remaining half is just enough for cooking. The amount is as precise as a scale."
