"Oh, these chicken bean curds are so tender."

"I didn't expect that Guan Yan could be stuffed into almond tofu."

"This lion's head in milk soup really refreshed my understanding of lion's head."

"This winter melon box is also very delicious. It contains chicken puree mixed with diced shrimps. It tastes so delicious."

Compared with the previous round of dishes full of eggplant.

This round of competition is a bit like a fight between gods.

Every dish is almost to the extreme.

Liu Zhengyu tasted the white-robed shrimps, nodded and said:

"This shrimp is really wonderfully cooked. The shrimp meat is sweet and crispy when chewed, but there is no fishy smell at all. It's great."

After eating the white robe shrimp.

He focused his attention on the steamed silver thread on the table:

"A few years ago, I once saw in an ancient book describing meals that radishes as thin as hair were steamed in a pot. I thought it was a bit ridiculous. I asked many people in the industry and everyone thought it was impossible. Who knew that it would really happen today?

I saw this method... Lin Xu, what is the name of this dish?"

"Steamed Silver Silk!"

"Yes, yes, that's what is written in that ancient book... Hey, dear, you have created a lost dish."

He took a quick bite and put it into his mouth.

The first thing you taste is the smell of garlic juice. When you chew it gently, you can taste the glutinous texture of the starch on the outside of the shredded radish, followed by the soft and chewy texture of the shredded radish.

After eating, Liu Zhengyu thought about it again.

I think the texture, taste and presentation of this dish are all impeccable.

"It's worthy of being a lost dish. The taste is really incredible, but shredded radish requires so much knife skills, so it's no wonder it's lost."

Modern cooking is all about efficiency.

What chef is willing to work on a carrot?

In ancient times, materials were not abundant and there was a shortage of ingredients in winter, so chefs racked their brains to think about ingredients that are shelf-stable.

After tasting all the dishes.

The judges began to score.

In this round of competition, there was no limit on ingredients and the cooking time was doubled, so everyone tried their best to keep the bottom of the box.

This directly results in very close scores.

Lin Xu scored 9.9 points, tied for first place with Huo Yifan.

Zhuang Yizhou's chickpea flower soup is clear and delicious, scoring 9.8 points, ranking second.

Guo Xinghai’s fried grouper fillet scored 9.75, ranking third with a gap of 0.05.

As for other players, their scores are 9.7, 9.67 and 9.65 respectively, and the scores are very close.

After the scores come out.

The system prompt sounded again in Lin Xu's mind:

"The host won the first place in this round of competition, completed the fifth round of the chain mission [passing the level], and received a physical enhancement card."

(Physique enhancement card: a card that can improve physical fitness. The improvement is approximately equivalent to one month of scientific fitness. It is invalid for cumulative use within one year)

Wow!

What about this kind of card?

Chu Yunfei's classic emoticon immediately appeared in Lin Xu's mind:

You can always come up with something new for me.jpg

Unfortunately, it cannot be used cumulatively.

Otherwise, if I use a hundred and eighty cards in a row for myself, I won’t be able to transform into a Super Saiyan on the spot?

After everything is finished.

Chief judge Liu Zhengyu announced:

"Congratulations to Lin Xu, Huo Yifan, Zhuang Yizhou and Guo Xinghai for being shortlisted for the semi-finals. It's noon now, and lunch has been prepared in the restaurant next door. All guests are invited to dine next door and the game will continue at two o'clock in the afternoon."

The original plan was to finish the game in one go.

But now that the ratings are rising one after another, and many people in the audience are hungry, Zhen Wensheng has increased the lunch time.

Just waiting for the audience in front of the TV.

Let’s see if we can raise the ratings again.

After the announcement.

Everyone got up and went to the restaurant to eat.

Lin Xugang was about to go to the audience to find Shen Baobao, when Zhuang Yizhou, who looked a bit handsome, suddenly came over and asked:

"Master Lin, let's have lunch together?"

Let’s eat together?

Is this something you are looking for?

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"My parents and father-in-law are in the audience. I have to eat with them at noon. What can I do for you, Master Zhuang?"

Zhuang Yizhou's expression was slightly awkward.

But then he took a deep breath, looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"I want to change jobs and work in your store, is that okay?"

Nani?

Lin Xu never expected that the great chef of the Yanjing Hotel would take the initiative to find a job in his restaurant, and he even felt that he had heard wrongly.

After looking at the available recruitment list on the system page, Zhuang Yizhou's name indeed appeared and was lit up.

But if you have a good stay at Yanjing Hotel, why would you want to change jobs in your own restaurant?

Lin Xu asked curiously:

"Can you tell me why?"

Zhuang Yizhou didn't hide anything:

"I talked to a partner. Her family is from Beijing. Her parents required me to buy a house in Beijing with full payment before agreeing to get married. Later, I talked hard and lowered the standard and asked for my annual salary to reach 500,000... I stayed at Yanjing Hotel for a month

It’s less than 20,000. If you want to reach this number, you can only choose to change jobs.”

Five hundred thousand?

If the annual salary is 500,000 yuan, the monthly salary is just over 40,000 yuan, which is a bit high.

This price is enough to hire an executive chef for a five-star hotel.

Perhaps he saw Lin Xu’s hesitation.

Zhuang Yizhou said:

"I personally don't ask for that much, just give me 30,000 yuan a month. I also play live broadcasts on a regular basis, and I want to gain some popularity from you, so that I can have extra income... But don't worry, I will definitely not delay my normal work.

”

Lin Xu didn't agree to him, but he didn't refuse either:

"I can't decide this matter alone. Let me discuss it with our general manager. What do you think?"

"Okay, okay, can I add your WeChat account?"

After the two added WeChat, Zhuang Yizhou went to the restaurant to eat.

He just left.

Baby Shen rushed over:

"Xubao, I miss you!"

Lin Xu hugged her, and then, together with his parents, led by his senior brother Xie Baomin, he went to eat in a private room in the restaurant next door.

Well, considering that Lin Xu has many family members, we specially arranged a private room.

Wait until everyone goes in.

Lin Xu came to the corridor with his cell phone and dialed Dou Wenjing's number...
