It was already half past ten at night, and Zhang Dachuan was standing on the balcony, looking at the dim lights of Mingyue County while talking on the phone to Li Ruyue.
In the bedroom behind him, Jiang Wantong had fallen asleep tiredly, snoring slightly.
He didn't know the situation of Li Ruyue opposite him. He only heard that she might be in the car, so he said vaguely:
"Well, it's my sister-in-law. She wants to participate... You also ate her cooking last time at Mingyue Hotel."
"And just now, I happened to see you doing this show, so I was thinking of asking you for some inside information."
Li Ruyue immediately laughed:
"What's the matter with insider information? The people invited to this Master of Cooking competition are all famous gourmets and star chefs in Bailong City. They are all well-known people. They are not going to engage in shady secrets just for a little money."
Immediately, she also remembered the delicious food she tasted at the last class reunion, so she immediately encouraged:
"So I think you can still participate in this competition. There are no restrictions on the rules of the competition. You are allowed to bring your own ingredients, and you are also allowed to bring your own team. With your sister-in-law's skills, as long as you perform normally, you will have no problem getting in the top three."
After hearing this, Zhang Dachuan was a little surprised:
"Is it just the top three? I think my sister-in-law can take first place with her cooking skills."
Li Ruyue didn't hide anything and said straightforwardly:
"There are people who are better than others. The dishes your sister-in-law cooks are fragrant, but the reason why they are so popular is more because of the effects brought by the ingredients. However, the Master of Chef competition is more about the taste of the dishes rather than the effects. In this regard, Jiudingxuan’s recently launched Longxiang pork has an advantage.”
Zhang Dachuan was not in Bailong City at this time, so he didn't know that just today, the news that Jiudingxuan Longxiang Pork was on the market had detonated the whole city. He frowned and asked:
"Is Longxiang pork really that powerful?"
Li Ruyue rolled her eyes nicely:
"Of course. The Long Xiang Pork from the Liu Family in Bailong City is famous throughout the province. Everyone who has eaten it is full of praise and everyone praises it for its deliciousness."
"Longxiang pork has the ability to turn decay into magic. Even an ordinary chef can make dishes using Longxiang pork that are comparable to those of senior chefs. Don't believe it, it really has this ability!"
Zhang Dachuan frowned even deeper:
"What do you mean, this Master of Cooking competition is basically out of the question if Longxiang pork is not used as an ingredient?"
Although she was in a taxi, Li Ruyue subconsciously looked around after hearing this, then approached the window and lowered her voice:
"I dare not say that there is absolutely no chance, but if you don't use Longxiang pork, your starting point will be much lower than others!"
"As far as I know, 60% of the participating teams bought Longxiang pork at a high price. Think about the concept."
After hearing this, Zhang Dachuan fell into deep thought for a short time.
If Longxiang Pork is really so exaggerated, then Liu Chenghao has a deeper purpose in holding the Chef Master Competition...
But soon, Zhang Dachuan thought of the home-made pork he had for lunch, and he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and gained confidence.
So, he said to Li Ruyue:
"Li Ruyue, thank you for the information. I already know what to do."
Li Ruyue smiled after hearing this:
"Thank me, how can I thank you? If you don't know how, just say it verbally."
Zhang Dachuan smiled and said:
"Of course not. If you are free some other time, how about we have a meal together? I'm afraid that you, the great host, won't appreciate it."
Li Ruyue's face beamed with joy and she hurriedly said:
"This is what you said. I'm waiting for news from you at any time. If you dare to let me go, I will expose you on the TV station!"
Zhang Dachuan hurriedly said he didn't dare, and after the two joked for a while, they decided on a day for dinner.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Dachuan turned around and returned to the bedroom. He unexpectedly found that Jiang Wantong had woken up and was leaning on the bedside, looking at him softly.
Zhang Dachuan walked to the bedside and held Jiang Wantong's hand:
"Sister-in-law, I've already asked you. In this Master of Chef competition, with your strength, you will definitely be in the top three."
When Jiang Wantong heard this, she felt a little more confident. She looked at Zhang Dachuan and asked:
"Okay, then I'll sign up and give it a try!"
…
After deciding to participate in the Master of Chef Competition, Jiang Wantong took leave the next day and followed Zhang Dachuan to Bailong City.
When we arrived in Bailong City, various banners were already displayed on the streets. Posters about the God of Cooking Competition were everywhere. Registration points for the God of Cooking Competition could be seen everywhere on the streets.
At the same time, news about the launch of Longxiang Pork was also spread everywhere, and the streets and alleys were extremely lively.
Zhang Dachuan and Jiang Wantong signed up at a registration point for the God of Cooking competition, and then got the competition process of the God of Cooking competition.
The Master of Chef Competition was held for half a month before and after. Several well-known food critics from the city and province were invited to come. Bailong City TV station even broadcast the entire event live. As a result, its influence was raised by several levels, and even attracted many people. Many chefs from other places came to sign up, and it became a grand event in Bailong City.
This made Jiang Wantong nervous, but also aroused a competitive spirit, and wanted to take this opportunity to test how advanced her cooking skills were.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Dachuan naturally wanted to provide 120,000 yuan of support.
He first took Jiang Wantong to get acquainted with the competition venue, and then went shopping in major food markets and supermarkets in Bailong City. After finishing his work, he specially booked a four-star hotel for Jiang Wantong to stay.
Originally he wanted to book a five-star hotel, but because there was only one five-star hotel in Bailong City and it was too far away from the competition venue, Jiang Wantong felt it was too expensive and a waste of money, so Zhang Dachuan finally gave up and changed his reservation to the hotel closest to the competition venue. Four star hotel.
Even so, when the two rushed to the hotel, they were told by the front desk that the best suite in the hotel had been booked in advance, and they could only choose the second-class suite.
Jiang Wantong looked at the hotel's room introduction brochure and asked the front desk carefully:
"How much does this first-rate night cost?"
The lady at the front desk immediately replied:
"A typical night's consumption will be around 600."
Jiang Wantong was taken aback, and immediately turned to Zhang Dachuan and said:
"Dachuan, six hundred a night is too expensive. Otherwise, let's find another hotel."
"It only costs 600 for me to prepare a table of dishes..."
Zhang Dachuan heard this funny and quickly held Jiang Wantong's hand and said:
"Wantong, six hundred a night is not expensive. This is a four-star hotel. The service is much better than other hotels. You will know after you stay here."
"Besides, you are here to participate in the Master of Chef Competition. You should get enough rest. It is worth spending this small amount of money."
But Jiang Wantong was still unwilling to spend the "unjust money". Seeing this, Zhang Dachuan could only use his trump card.
He quietly approached Jiang Wantong's ear and whispered to her:
"I want to stay in this hotel too. You can't just think about saving money. You have to enjoy star-rated service when you come out."
When Jiang Wantong heard this, her face turned red. After secretly raising her eyes to look at him, she reluctantly nodded:
"Well, then...if you don't sleep well, we'll check out!"
Zhang Dachuan nodded repeatedly and booked a room with a smile.
After booking the room, Jiang Wantong planned to go up and rest, but was pulled out of the door by Zhang Dachuan.
Jiang Wantong didn't know why:
"Dachuan, what else are you going to do?"
Zhang Dachuan turned around and asked her with a smile:
"Did you take the driver's license test some time ago?"
Jiang Wantong nodded:
"Yes, the certificate just came out last week."
Zhang Dachuan then pulled her away:
"That's right, I'll take you to buy a car now."
Jiang Wantong was dumbfounded:
"Buy a car?"
