Chapter 428: Mountain Village Intelligence
The host on the screen had already received the list, and after machine-gunning a series of advertising slogans designated by the sponsors, he began to announce the results.
As Fatty had expected, Guan Yingxia received ten votes, and Yu Yiyuan, who was in the first tier mentioned by Guan Yingxia, also advanced with full votes.
In fact, players of the same group can leave after the results are announced, because Bai Tao will notify them of the next competitions by text message anyway. However, most people come from far away and want to see the level of other players and listen to the professional comments of the judges. Therefore, more and more players sit in Hall No. 2, and it becomes more and more lively.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, Zhao Xiaojing, an outsider, was rapidly catching up on knowledge of the industry.
"This is Mao Tingxiu. Both her grandfather and father are famous Sichuan chefs. They started training her when she was in elementary school. However, she cannot eat spicy food, so she performs better in non-spicy Sichuan cuisine. Rumor has it that she rebelled too early and is too combative. She is a genuine Sichuan and Chongqing tyrannosaurus. Both her father and grandfather couldn't argue with her, but they couldn't do anything about her, so they opened a private Sichuan restaurant for her as soon as she graduated, so that distance could create beauty. So now she is her own boss, and you have to make a reservation with the customer service one month in advance to eat at her restaurant." Wen Xinyuan pointed at the girl on the screen who made fish-flavored eggplant with smooth and swift hands.
"When cooking spicy Sichuan cuisine, she pays more attention to the balance between fragrance and spiciness, rather than simply emphasizing the spiciness. Those who love to eat very spicy food all year round will have their taste buds damaged to a certain extent. It will be difficult for them to get used to her dishes and they will always feel that they are not spicy enough. That's why people say that her non-spicy dishes are better." Guan Yingxia explained.
"It is said that her father was a chef of Anhui cuisine. He met her mother halfway through, and changed his career for love to become a son-in-law and learned Sichuan cuisine. In the end, her mother failed to train her, but the son-in-law became a famous Sichuan chef. He is the Sun Yangguang, you know him? Now he is more famous than her grandfather Mao Yongfeng." Wen Xinyuan added, not to be outdone.
"Mao Yongfeng is already 90 years old and can no longer cook. Two or three dishes a day is already the limit for him. Even so, there are people who make reservations half a year in advance and beg him to cook. He deliberately keeps a low profile. How can his fame be compared with that of Mao Yongfeng, who is in his prime and has the power of the Internet? People of his generation didn't use the Internet, but they built their reputation solely through word of mouth." The fat man still looked straight ahead, but couldn't help complaining.
"Sister, this, this is Luo Junlang! He is the disciple of the famous Anhui cuisine chef Bai Zhengxin. Although he is not from a family of chefs, he is a legend in the chef world and his deeds are well-known!
It is said that he was a boy who dropped out of school. He was kicked out by his family to work because he was not doing his job and not studying hard. He was just a waiter who served dishes and washed dishes. Who knew that this kid had a way to get along in society? He first got acquainted with the foreman, found out that the chopping board master was the most basic job, got acquainted with the chopping board master, secretly learned how to cut and prepare from the chopping board master, and finally became a chopping board master after practicing knife skills for a while. He was not satisfied with being a chopping board master. He secretly watched Bai Zhengxin teach his apprentice while cutting vegetables. In the afternoon, Bai Zhengxin's apprentice practiced vegetables and took the initiative to stay overtime to learn from him. Finally, he learned everything Bai Zhengxin taught his apprentice by secretly watching him, and then ran to Bai Zhengxin to show off his skills.
Bai Zhengxin had trained quite a few disciples, and had originally retired to the second line and was not planning to accept any more disciples. But when he saw that his things had been stolen, and the stealing was done very well, he realized that he was indeed a talented player, so he had to accept him as his last disciple. In just a few years, he surpassed his senior brothers and sisters. Before this competition, they had a competition, and he won in the end, and represented the others to participate in the competition.
Isn't it legendary? He is a perfect example of a loser's counterattack. Now many young people who dream of becoming a chef are targeting him! After all, he can become the best apprentice of a famous chef by stealing his skills. "After being attacked by Guan Yingxia and the fat man, Wen Xinyuan curled his lips and gathered his strength, pointing to the person on the screen and explaining science to Zhao Xiaojing again.
"It's not stealing in the strict sense. A famous chef's dishes are full of details, and there are a hundred ways to hide it from him so that he won't learn anything. What's more, Bai's Restaurant has thousands of customers a day, and he also has the job of cutting and preparing the dishes. If he can't finish the work assigned to him, he won't be able to learn while cutting vegetables. Moreover, the restaurant's kitchen is so big, and if he is moved away from us, he won't be able to see anything. Bai Zhengxin is quick-eyed and has a bright mind. He has always been like this. He won't take the initiative to help or teach others, but he will definitely leave opportunities for those who want to learn. Luo Junlang just seized this opportunity." After Wen Xinyuan finished gossiping, Guan Yingxia and Zhao Xiaojing started to popularize the science again.
"Besides, he dropped out of school, not because he was kicked out by his family to work. He dropped out before he even finished junior high school, so he is still considered a child laborer. Which place would dare to hire him? He was washing dishes in his own small restaurant, and he asked the chef hired by his family to teach him how to cut vegetables. He cut vegetables for two years, and only after he turned sixteen did he apply for a chopping board job at Bai Zhengxin Restaurant! And it's because he is young. When Bai Zhengxin heard that he had only practiced for two years, he thought he was talented and hired him, okay?" The fat man turned his head and quickly glanced at Guan Yingxia before giving Wen Xinyuan a look of disdain.
"Where did you get this fake intelligence? None of it is accurate. It seems like a scam when you talk about the background of each character." Zhao Xiaojing was delighted.
"Uh, this, this... I'm just making the story more attractive and making you listen with pleasure, no matter if it's a knockoff or not. And how do you know that what the fat guy knows is true? Is it possible that he also heard it, and what he heard is a knockoff?" Wen Xinyuan blushed.
"Even if it's also a knockoff, mine is a high imitation with logic to support it. Yours is purely a Chanel sold on the street, it's ridiculously fake." The fat man exposed her mercilessly.
Wen Xinyuan was speechless again.
Seven groups finished competing in the morning, and Guan Yingxia, who arrived the latest from the four-person group, had already watched the complete competitions of three groups of contestants.
Due to the ten-minute cooking time limit, most of the contestants made common stir-fries or steamed dishes. Most of them were quite common, and the few uncommon ones were nothing special. Even the contestants who wanted to understand the level of their opponents felt a little tired and left one after another.
"Are you going back today? It seems that this place provides accommodation for the qualified contestants." Zhao Xiaojing glanced at the time and turned to ask the other three.
The following games looked more or less the same, and it was almost time for lunch.
"I'll ask later when the next match will be. If it takes more than three days, I'll go back, otherwise it will delay things. Sister Xia, Sister Zhao, are you going back?" Wen Xinyuan said.
