The God of Cooking Contest is finally about to begin! The God of Cookery Competition in Beijing is traditionally held on the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, because according to tradition, people watch lanterns on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
And those who watch the lights, whether they are ordinary people or officials, will go to restaurants to drink. After all, after the fifteenth day, even if the New Year is over, no one wants to spend the last day of the New Year in a fussy way.
The whole family went out to watch the lanterns. After watching the show, they were so hungry that they went home to turn on the stove and light a fire to cook? That’s too disgraceful!
What's more, the woman in charge must also have opinions. She has been tired for a year. On the last day after watching the lanterns, she still has to walk around the pot. What kind of year is this?
Therefore, restaurants must be full on the night of the 15th day of the first lunar month, but whose business is more prosperous and consumption is higher depends on the God of Cooking Competition held in the morning.
With the birth of the God of Cookery and the determination of the rankings of various restaurants, the evening business situation will immediately change.
There is a difference between a full house and a full house. Whether you are entertaining a room full of ordinary people or a room full of high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, can the income and profit be the same?
If a family of five occupies a table and orders a pot of braised pork and some vegetarian dishes, how much money can you make?
A wealthy businessman and high-ranking official orders a table of dishes and takes two bites of each dish. The name and meaning of what he eats are given to him, the price is whatever he wants, and there is a silver reward!
Therefore, the time for this God of Cookery Competition is definitely determined by senior experts who are well versed in business! Shi Zhenxiang woke up early in the morning. To be precise, he didn't fall asleep at all and suffered from insomnia.
After carefully washing his hair and shaving his face, he was served by his apprentice and put on the God of Cookery's robe. The previous God of Cookery will wear the God of Cookery jersey to compete in this year's God of Cookery competition, similar to the later gold belt of the boxing champion.
This God of Cookery's robe is made of the best silk by the palace weaving department. It is made every year and is given to the newly born God of Cookery in the name of the emperor to show that the emperor and the people are happy.
Of course, even if the God of Cookery is not replaced, he can still receive a new shirt. After all, if you wear a uniform and compete in cooking, you will definitely lose your ideas. If you use a uniform for two years, there is nothing honorable about it.
Although the emperor and the people enjoy themselves together, Jiajing will definitely not attend the competition in person. A gentleman even cooks far away, let alone Jiajing, who is cultivating immortality?
He must have asked Superintendent Shang Shan to attend as his representative. As the emperor's representative, Shang Shanjian naturally became the chief referee of the referee panel.
After Eunuch Liu took office, he reduced the five referees to three. The reason is very simple. The smaller the number of referees, the easier it is to unify their thoughts and control them.
In the more than ten years since he defeated Zuixianlou twice, Shi Zhenxiang has never let his reputation as the God of Cookery fall by the wayside. Of course, this is due to his superb cooking skills, but more importantly, the referee's whistle is in his own mouth. Holding it in his mouth.
Yan Shifan told Zhao Wenhua that the God of Cookery Competition was not worth discussing at all, and that was why. Zhao Wenhua once had a question: Since Shi Zhenxiang is bound to win the God of Cookery Competition, why does Xiao Feng still support Zuixianlou and actively participate in the competition?
Yan Shifan laughed at his godbrother at that time.
"Do you really think Xiao Feng is so stupid that he would stare at a God of Cookery who has no hope at all? This game is also related to the ranking of the restaurant! Although Zuixianlou lost to Taibaiju and ranked second. But if not Shi Zhenxiang tried his best to suppress it deliberately, and the two restaurants happened to be in direct competition face to face, so the business would not be bad! For example, this year's imperial examination, all the candidates in the world know that the number one winner is me, shouldn't they not participate in the imperial examination? Can't they be qualified? If you are ranked No. 1, wouldn't it be better to be No. 2, No. 1, or No. 1?" As an insider, Shi Zhenxiang admired Yan Shifan's words and praised them repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely true. To be honest, fortunately, Zuixian Restaurant is just opposite Taibai Ju, so I can directly steal their business. Otherwise, even if I try my best, I still can't squeeze out a restaurant whose chef is ranked second in the capital!" Zhao Wenhua suddenly understood, but he was a little puzzled by Shi Zhenxiang's words.
"The chef is the second-ranked restaurant in the capital. Why does this sound so awkward? Just say the restaurant is the second-ranked restaurant in the capital." Shi Zhenxiang also wanted to laugh at Zhao Wenhua like Yan Shifan, but he could only Just think about it, and you have to explain it with a flattering smile.
"Mr. Zhao, that's not the case. The comprehensive ranking of a restaurant, in addition to the level of the chef, also depends on the restaurant's software and hardware facilities. For example, the preciousness of the ingredients, the completeness of the dishes, the elegance and cleanness of the environment, and the difference in reception capacity Wait. Back in Zuixianju, my junior sister ranked second in the God of Cookery Competition, but I squeezed the restaurant business from bad to worse. We couldn’t recruit chefs, we couldn’t afford to hire waiters, and we couldn’t even oil and paint the restaurant or replace the tables and chairs. Money. She was suddenly squeezed out of the top ten in the Beijing restaurant's overall ranking! By her daughter's generation, it will be even worse, and she probably won't even be ranked in the top twenty!" Zhao Wenhua understood and couldn't help but sigh. Ichiban.
"Sure enough, he is the number one scholar in the 360th line. The skills in this are no less than those of being an official. So if Liu Ruyun wins second place this time, will Zuixianlou have a chance to turn around?" Shi Zhenxiang immediately expressed his position: "Don't worry, adults, her mother couldn't turn over back then, and she can't turn over either. Of course, now that Zuixianlou has Zhang Tianci as a shareholder, the capital is a little thicker. But the most uncomfortable thing about Zuixianlou is that Located opposite Taibai Ju! Unless Xiao Feng demolishes Zuixian Tower and builds a new one far away from Taibai Ju, I guarantee that she will never be able to turn over!" Yan Shifan suddenly smiled evilly. If Tan Xinren was still here at this moment, Here, you will definitely jump up and shout.
"I've seen this smile before. He smiled like this last time when he asked me to kidnap Zhang Yunqing and deliver it to him!" It's a pity that Tan Xinren is far away from the capital, and he doesn't know where to make a living in the countryside.
"Speaking of being too pressed to stand up, I remembered one thing. I heard that Xiao Feng was quite interested in the female cook and helped him many times, not just because he was the boss. Shi Zhenxiang, you are trying to kill me , I will also look for opportunities to take action, not only to bankrupt Zuixianlou, but also preferably to be convicted. When I am at the end of my rope, I will bring the female cook into the house to cook. Then she will understand what I'll be so pressed that I can't turn over." Shi Zhenxiang shuddered. He had this dream for his junior sister back then, and he may not have had this dream for Liu Ruyun, but now that Yan Shifan has spoken, he can only bow his head and obey his orders, not daring to do anything. Looks unhappy.
Zhao Wenhua, on the other hand, was used to it. He just sighed secretly that no matter what he said, his godbrother could associate it with his interests and hobbies.
If Xiao Feng were present, he would teach Zhao Wenhua a metaphor that will go down in history: A perverted old driver like Yan Shifan can drive on any broken road.
At the God of Cookery competition, Chen Zhonghou followed his daughter uneasily. The fat cook has retired and returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, so the only one who can be his daughter's assistant is himself.
He has been an assistant in the God of Cookery Competition three times in his life, the first time was for his master, the second time was for his wife, and this is the third time for his daughter.
The first time was when Shi Zhenxiang suddenly rebelled, and the master was caught off guard, so he could only be used on site; the second time was when Zuixianlou was in decline and there was no longer a second chef.
This time, Zuixian Tower was even more depressed than before, so he could only continue to push forward, but he was worried beyond words.
He always felt that he might be a disaster star. Before he came, Zuixian Tower was still the number one building in the capital. After he came, so many things happened.
The point is, no matter what the reason, I have been an assistant twice and failed both times. The master's cooking skills are so superb, and the wife's cooking skills are better than those of others, but she failed in the end. Could it be because she is a disaster star?
Chen Zhonghou whispered to his daughter: "Xiaoyun, why don't you ask Mr. Xiao again to help find a chef to be an assistant? Dad's life is not good, I'm afraid it will drag you down." Liu Ruyun grabbed her father's hand arm, trying to convey his confidence to him.
"Dad, don't worry. It's not your fate that is bad, it's all Shi Zhenxiang's fault! Mr. Xiao gave me a secret weapon, I will definitely win!" In the huge open space, chefs from dozens of restaurants in the capital, Each family has set up a stove, and the prepared ingredients are placed beside the stove.
As the chef and assistants came to the stove, the atmosphere reached its climax, and the crowd of spectators had already filled the open space.
Of course, there are also fan groups and family and friend groups from various restaurants. The more famous and large the restaurant, the larger the support group will naturally be. Those smaller restaurants will lose much less in terms of cheers from below, and they will lose before they can compare with the momentum.
"Taibai Ju will win!"
"Shi Zhenxiang is the God of Food!"
"The Star Reaching Tower must win!"
"Chen Dashao is the God of Cookery!"
"The big bowl will definitely win!"
"You must win, why are you, a guy selling big bowls of food, making trouble with you!"
"Damn it, who said you can't be the God of Cookery if you have a big bowl of food?" The support group in the audience was a little commotion, but such a big event cannot be without spectators. Not only were all the policemen from Shuntian Prefecture dispatched, but the soldiers and horses from the five cities were also dispatched. Si also sent manpower, and even Jin Yiwei sent secret sentries to help maintain order.
So those people were just talking and had no chance to take action. Keyboard warriors have always been the most courageous in fights, so the audience was noisy and refused to give in.
Among the three referees on the stage, the one sitting in the middle was Eunuch Liu from the Shangshan Supervisor. He looked at the lively scene below with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.
"This is the original intention of Long Live and the People's Joy. I announce that the God of Cookery Competition has officially begun!" As soon as these words came out, the contestants on the stage immediately started to light fires, chop vegetables, and show off their knife skills, fire skills, Spoon Kung Fu.
The support team in the audience also put away the chaos just now and began to shout slogans to cheer for their own players to see who could outshine others.
Liu Ruyun was chopping vegetables nervously, while Chen Zhonghou was stroking his daughter with his fingers trembling slightly. At this moment, a uniform shout suddenly rang out from the audience. The sound was so loud that it instantly drowned out the shouts of everyone else.
"Zui Xian Tower, we must win! Liu Ruyun, the God of Cookery!"
