Chapter 172 It’s so beautiful that you can’t bear to put down your chopsticks! What, there’s another cooking competition?(2/3)
"You...really know how to...cook this dish?"
When he is not nervous, he speaks much more smoothly.
Lin Xu nodded slightly:
"The method is smooth, but you still need to practice."
A trace of envy flashed across Qin Wei's face.
Just as Lin Xuda was about to chat with him a few more words, a shouting voice sounded at the door of the kitchen:
"Thank you, chef, please treat me to dinner quickly. There's a big happy event coming!"
As soon as the voice fell, Assistant Bai from the catering department trotted all the way to the kitchen.
"Just now when I was helping Director Liao sort out the documents, someone from Yanjing TV Station...Eh? Chef Qiu? Why are you here too?"
I see Qiu Zhenhua here too.
A trace of surprise flashed across Assistant Bai's thin face, and he was about to leave:
"Um, I'm still boiling water on my computer. I'll come over to visit later and you guys can continue... What kind of food do I need in this pot? Are you making bonsai?"
He was about to leave, but when he saw the clear water hibiscus on the workbench, he suddenly couldn't walk.
No way, the appearance of this dish is really outstanding.
Even though there are a few petals missing, the appearance is still much better than ordinary dishes.
"Can I... have a taste?"
Assistant Bai picked up the kuaizi next to him and was about to try it when Qiu Zhenhua stopped him:
"Tell me, what kind of happy event is this? You actually swallowed your words when you saw me. Do you still want to eat the crab roe soup dumplings in our Building 6 in the future?"
Xie Baomin laughed and cheered from the side:
"In the future, we will also make crab soup dumplings in Building No. 2. You can come to our place to eat."
Qiu Zhenhua raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Baomin:
"Lao Xie, you just sell it secretly, but you still shout it out in front of me. Are you really not afraid that I will fall out with you?"
"Isn't this a joke, Xiaobai, what is going on? Tell me quickly, otherwise our Chef Qiu will have to guess all night, and he is so narrow-minded that he can't even stuff the tofu shreds of Wensi Tofu."<
/p>
"You..."
Assistant Bai didn't show off any more and said honestly:
"It's like this. Zhen Wensheng from the Yanjing Tourism Channel just came to see Director Liao. He is going to plan a cooking competition and invite young chefs from ten foreign-related hotels to participate."
After saying that, he picked up a petal and ate it on a small plate.
Lin Xu and Xie Baomin looked at each other next to them.
Cooking competition?
Diaoyutai just held a cooking competition a few days ago, so why are we preparing to hold another competition?
Are you preparing to ride on the popularity of the last game?
Qiu Zhenhua looked at Xie Baomin and said:
"Is this for your junior brother? He is famous, has good cooking skills, and has such good looks. He can become popular with just a few packages. Moreover, the name of Diaoyutai Champion is so resounding. If other hotels win against him, they must not brag about it.
Go to heaven."
No one is stupid.
Everyone knows these tricks.
Diaoyutai holds cooking competitions between buildings every year, and they even become more formal, but it never communicates with outside hotels for this reason.
There is nothing to be proud of when you win, but you are praised all over the place when you lose.
Rather than being someone else's backdrop, why not just play by yourself behind closed doors?
Xie Baomin looked at Assistant Bai and asked curiously:
"What's Director Liao's attitude?"
"I'm very interested. Now the boss has been asking Diaoyutai to attract social guests. The cooking competition is such a good publicity opportunity. Director Liao naturally doesn't want to miss it... This dish is so delicious. Why haven't I seen it before?"
Qiu Zhenhua said with a smile:
"You're not at a high level, so you haven't seen it before, but you should have heard of the name of this dish, it's called Qingshui Hibiscus."
"Holy crap! This is Qingshui Hibiscus? I mentioned this dish after reading a lot of documents, but I didn't expect it to look so good. No wonder those foreigners eat it for several days in a row."
Next to him, Xie Baomin walked up to Lin Xu and asked in a low voice:
"Junior brother, if you don't want to join in the fun, I can help you refuse."
Lin Xu smiled bitterly.
Of course he doesn't want to join in the fun.
But will the system let you go for this kind of limelight thing?
Sure enough.
Just thought of this.
The system prompt sounded in his mind:
"The Yanjing City Foreign Hotel Cooking Competition is about to begin, triggering a series of tasks [passing the level]: starting from the knockout round, each time the host wins the championship in a round, he will receive corresponding rewards. The farther he goes in the competition, the more rewards he will receive.
The richer it is, the more surprising prizes you will get after winning the championship!"
Sure enough...
I haven't participated in the competition yet.
The system arranges the tasks clearly.
And in order to maintain the attraction, I didn’t even mention the rewards clearly this time. I only used words such as surprise and enrichment to stimulate myself.
Is this good at marketing?
Lin Xu said to Xie Baomin:
"It's okay to participate, and by the way, we can promote Linji Food."
Besides, Director Liao is quite interested, so he can go there himself. After all, when Che Zai and the others came two days ago, Director Liao without a word said anything, he put them into a cooking improvement class held within Diaoyutai.<
/p>
People praise themselves so much.
I have to repay myself somewhat.
"Okay, it's okay to go and see the world, just to maintain your popularity on the Internet."
While the two were chatting.
Assistant Bai, who was eating hibiscus, suddenly received a call.
After hanging up, he said to Xie Baomin:
"Chef Xie, Director Liao asked you and Master Lin to go there. There are also Chef Guo from Building 10 and Wei Qian from Building 1. They should be talking about the competition."
After speaking, he took a small bowl and scooped out a bowl of soup with a spoon. He drank and praised:
"This soup is so delicious. I have to try it more for Director Liao."
"This pot is all yours... Come on, junior brother, let's go see what's going on first."
The two of them walked outside.
Qiu Zhenhua tasted the crab roe soup dumplings and saw the legendary dishes of Diaoyutai, so he walked out together.
When he came outside, Lin Xu saw Wei Qianzheng slowly walking towards the door of Building 1 not far away, obviously he had also received the notice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Look at this battle.
In this competition, I, Guo Xinghai and Wei Qian participated.
A champion, a runner-up, and a third runner-up, no matter which one the chefs of other hotels win, they can brag a lot.
"Master Lin, I wish you a successful start in this competition."
After Qiu Zhenhua finished speaking, he said to Xie Baomin:
"In two days I will send a few soup dumpling chefs from our back kitchen to make crab roe soup dumplings with Master Lin. You also have to send experts to my place to exchange ideas about stir-fry."
"No problem Qiu Qiu!"
Qiu Zhenhua walked towards Building 6.
Lin Xu took out his car keys and opened the door. Building 2 was a bit far from the catering department's office, and it was extremely hot outside, so he might as well drive there.
