After Luo Tianrui entered the house, he swept over everyone like an eagle's eye, instantly locked on Bai Lu, and walked over with the same expression: "Why didn't you call me?"

As soon as he appeared, Tao Fangran's face turned cold and he didn't speak. Lin Zi and He Shanqing naturally stood on Tao Fangran's side, and they both looked at the past indifferently.

Luo Tianrui doesn't care about them, he only appreciates people who have the ability, so he only has Bai Lu in his eyes.

Bai Lu sat still and didn't move: "I don't want to fight." ”

After these three words, Ouyang and Luo Tianrui's followers all changed their faces, and their expressions were a little ugly. However, He Shanqing and Lin Zi smiled, thinking that Bai Lu was really good, and dared to talk to Luo Dashao in person.

Luo Tianrui's face was expressionless, he glanced at Bai Lu calmly, chuckled, and walked to the front row and sat down.

Luo Dashao didn't get angry?

Lin Zi and He Shanqing glanced at each other and asked Bai Lu, "You have a good relationship with him?"

"Of course it's good, we've met twice. Bai Lu took out his phone and prepared to play the game.

Ouyang smiled: "You are really a little interesting. ”

Bai Lu clicked on the game: "It's not interesting. ”

Ouyang smiled, walked past Bai Lu, and walked to the front. Zou Xiaoying followed behind, her cold eyes sweeping over the white road.

Why is this guy so hostile? He Shanqing felt strange: "You offended that kid?"

"I'm busy, I don't have time to offend people. Bai Lu lowered his head and spoke.

Luo Tianrui came in time, not long after he entered the door, the multi-purpose hall closed the door. The president of the Garden Hotel walked on the stage: "I am Zheng Guangyuan, welcome everyone, thank you for your support, the reason for the matter, everyone should know the truth, so don't talk much, I invite thirteen chefs to the stage." ”

After saying this, a beautiful emcee came up to the side, holding a list in her hand, and said loudly: "Please invite the champion of the Beicheng Chef Competition, the new generation of Beicheng Chef King, who easily defeated Mr. Zou Xiaoying, a famous Korean chef with knife skills." ”

For today's occasion, Zou Xiaoying deliberately wore a light-colored suit and looked very energetic. Walked forward with a smile and hugged his fists with everyone to say thank you.

"I would like to invite Mr. Lan Teng, the head chef of Chinese cuisine at Beicheng Hotel, the champion of the three chef competitions, and the senior culinary technician. ”

Lan Teng was forty-three years old, in good shape, and looked like thirty-five or six. Walk quickly on the stage, greet with a smile as you walk, and when you reach the center of the stage, you will bow down slightly to show your salute. It's just that when she looked at Zou Xiaoying, her face was expressionless, like a passerby.

He Shanqing spoke below: "See, this guy is hated by all people." ”

Lan Teng and Zou Xiaoying used to be colleagues, but they made trouble to the point of not saying hello on stage, and they didn't know who offended whom.

The master of ceremonies continued to introduce, one after another, and ten chefs were introduced, all of whom were famous chefs from famous restaurants in the northern city. Except for Zou Xiaoying, who is temporarily unemployed, none of the other eleven people has an annual salary of less than 300,000 yuan.

There are famous chefs on the stage, chefs are bosses off the stage, there are many close and familiar people, and every time a chef comes on stage, some people applaud and welcome.

This continued until the worst, until the time of the White Road. The master of ceremonies announced loudly: "I have the owner of the five-star hotel, Mr. Bai Lu, please." ”

Hearing this, most of the people on and off the stage were stunned for a moment, who is Bai Lu? One by one, they stretched their necks and looked left and right, looking for the last contestant.

Bai Lu was also stunned for a moment, after all, he was the only one, so he reluctantly got up and walked forward with a straight face.

His low-key appearance aroused everyone's curiosity, this person is too young, right?

Chefs are a very difficult profession that takes time to accumulate.

There were twelve people on the stage, except for Zou Xiaoying, who was slightly younger, and the others were all between thirty-five and forty-five years old, which was a good time for them to be experienced and in the prime of life. At the same time, although Zou Xiaoying is young, she does have the ability, and her sword skills are mysterious and unpredictable, and no one has any objections to participate in the competition.

According to the system of the chef grade examination, he is a senior chef who can't even be rated as a technician, so how can he be qualified to compete with your predecessors?

In the 60s, there was an examination and grading system, and there were first-class, second-class, and intermediate-level special grades. Later, the system was reformed and divided into five levels: junior, intermediate, high, technician, and senior technician.

Generally speaking, students who have graduated from a chef school can get a certificate as an intermediate chef or a senior chef if they mix it for a few years. At this level, a chef's certificate is not worth much.

But when it comes to senior technicians, the situation is completely different, academic qualifications are required, there are restrictions on the number of years of experience, if conditions permit, you can re-train, coupled with the dead age bar, if you want to mix into a senior technician, it really takes some effort.

Under normal circumstances, Bai Lu's age can only be a student who has just graduated, so everyone will be a little curious. A student who is likely to have just graduated from a chef school came to compete with your seniors, does that mean that this person is extraordinarily talented?

Someone in the audience gradually spoke, asking about Bai Lu's origin, but no one applauded, which was completely different from the appearance of the twelve people just now.

Bai Lu didn't care, he walked forward with his head bowed from the back row, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking. After more than ten seconds, he walked up to the stage and stood in the corner without looking up, looking down at his toes.

What is the situation? More than 100 people in the audience could not figure it out.

He Shanqing sat behind the most columbian and said with a smile: "This is pretending to be low-key, this bastard must not be well-intentioned." Lin Zi agreed, so that Ke Qiang and Lin Gao didn't have to applaud and dry this bastard.

At this time, two applause sounded in the front row, one soft and crisp, and the other steady and loud, respectively Tao Fangran and Luo Tianrui.

Lin Zi stood up and looked forward: "Damn, the surname Luo is applauding, what does he want to do?"

With Luo Tianrui and Tao Fangran taking the lead, the others followed and clapped, and the applause once again filled the room.

Zheng Guangyuan, the boss of the Garden Hotel, came to the stage again: "Thank you to the thirteen chefs Gao Yi, volunteer help, here, on behalf of the Garden Hotel, I say a word, there is no winner or loser in the competition, we are in the selection of the master who is suitable to represent the Garden Hotel to win glory for the country, and Gaoli sticks, no pressure at all, the competition is a small episode, the main purpose of today, is to bring everyone together to enjoy and enjoy." ”

Having said that, the twelve chefs on the stage also tried their best to smile, but they all held back their energy. In the chef world, when they get mixed up, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to make a move, unless they are competing for the title of Chinese culinary master, and they rarely make a move.

Today, they are able to come for a variety of reasons. One is a friend invitation, and the other is a monetary incentive.

On the basis of the funds originally gambling with the Koreans, the president of the Garden Hotel took out another 1 million, and the five people divided it equally, regardless of the result of the game, as long as they are willing to participate on behalf of the Garden Hotel, they will give 200,000.

For chefs, 200,000 yuan is not much, but it is nearly a year's salary, who doesn't want to give it for nothing? In addition, there are often disagreements between each other, so take this opportunity to give it a try. For example, Lan Teng is also a chef, why are you the head chef of the Beicheng Hotel, and I can only be in charge of the Yuehai Building?

Therefore, for various reasons, the eleven chefs except Bai Lu and Zou Xiaoying will come to the Garden Hotel together.

On the stage, Zheng Guangyuan said a few more polite words, and the competition began.

They are all chefs and have a lot of fame, so this competition does not test knife skills. Actually, there is no need.

Some of these chefs are from the same school, some often drink together, and some have not dealt with each other for many years, in short, they have their own origins. Since you dare to participate in this selection, of course, you are full of confidence in yourself, and you are not afraid of anyone.

Therefore, this competition is only compared to one dish, tofu.

Each person has a piece of locally produced old tofu, with tofu as the main ingredient, the ingredients are not limited, the method is not limited, and the time is limited to one hour. After the dish is finished, it will be selected by its own judges.

In order to compete fairly, before the thirteen chefs came, only two old men knew the questions of the competition, and even the boss of the Garden Hotel did not know the question.

The two old men have a lot of backgrounds, the bearded one is called Liu Yong, the white-haired one is called Zhang Facai, the two of them have similar resumes, they are both national model workers, cooking masters, senior culinary technicians, teaching in higher technical schools, directors or vice presidents of a provincial cooking association, directors of the National Cuisine Association, and often perform abroad...... And so on and so forth, in short, it was very powerful, and there were three thousand disciples, only a few more.

Even as the head chef of Chinese cuisine in Beicheng Hotel, Lan Teng, when he sees two old people, he has to be called a teacher.

In order to ensure that the question is not leaked, the two old men did not even make a phone call after receiving the invitation, and they did not discuss using tofu as an exam question until they met today.

Now that you have the topic, let's get to work.

But there are only seven stoves on the table, a total of thirteen people, how to compare?

The chefs held their own identities, and no one grabbed the stove, standing firmly waiting for the boss of the Garden Hotel to be assigned.

Zheng Guangyuan smiled: "Push it up." ”

The door of the multi-purpose hall opened in response to the sound, and seven cars were pushed in, the first car was the ingredient car, and below was the refrigerator, which put all kinds of seafood and meat that had just been bought today, and on top were fresh melons and fruits and other vegetables. On the top shelf, there is a row of moon-white tofu.

There are thirteen pieces in total, the same size and thickness, and at first glance, they are almost identical.

The car was the largest, pushed to the front of the stage and stopped. The six cars in the back were lined up on both sides of the rostrum, like stainless steel boxes.

Zheng Guangyuan said with a smile: "My stage here is too small, and I can only barely open seven stoves, so I have prepared six kitchen cars, hoping not to delay the normal performance of the masters."

This cow has its own stove eye, has high-pressure liquefied steam for fire, and is fully extended, comparable to a small kitchen. It's just that it's not very convenient to use water. However, the same is true for the seven stoves on the stage, which also use bottled water, so there is nothing to be faulted with.

Usually, when a chef cooks, he always has a few small workers around to serve him. There are no small workers today, and the chefs go shirtless.

After the chefs finished preparing, Zheng Guangyuan started with a loud shout, and the thirteen masters started at the same time.

Although it is just a quick tofu, it is not easy to make it well.

Lanten makes thousand-page tofu.
