Volume 2: The Chef King Contest Chapter 146 The Gold Content and Compulsion of the Chef Profession!
Qiao Zhi returned to the room, and it didn't take long for Zhong Shi to call and ask if he was in the room and wanted to come over and chat with him. Qiao Zhi glanced at the time, it was only ten o'clock in the evening, and it was acceptable to think about chatting for an hour or two.
Zhong Shi quickly rang the doorbell, and Qiao Zhi opened the door with flying steps.
Zhong Shi's two stubby eyebrows, like dancing, said: "The massage service on the third floor of the hotel is very cost-effective, why don't you try it?" ”
Qiao Zhi had already understood that Zhong Shi was an out-and-out prodigal egg.
Wherever this kid basically goes, where does big health care such as bathing and massage, he is a veritable old driver.
"We have to play tomorrow, so we should recharge our batteries. Qiao Zhi said sarcastically, "If you don't pay attention, be careful when the time comes, I'll sue you." ”
Zhong Shi sneered, "Don't be so dangerous. Actually, I went to inquire about the enemy today, and I met a lot of key people on the roster over there. Everyone is a special fellow practitioner. ”
Qiao Zhi was full of black lines, and arched his hand: "Admire!"
Seeing that the topic couldn't go on, Zhong Shi changed the topic and said, "By the way, who did you make an appointment with tonight?"
"I won't tell you. Qiao Zhi smiled.
He couldn't tell Zhong Shi that he was eating with the deputy editor-in-chief of Huaxia Food, or in the private villa of the big star Mu Xiao.
When he said it, he had to be forced by him again.
Zhong Shi almost got angry with a mouthful of old blood, "Lao Tzu has shared such confidential things with you, you actually have reservations about me, should you treat me as a brother?"
Qiao Zhi said with a serious expression: "It is precisely because I regard you as a brother that I don't want to deceive you by telling a lie." ”
Zhong Shi tilted his head and said, "There is still some truth in your words after thinking about it carefully." By the way, this year's King Chef Contest will have more links than in previous years. ”
"Oh?" Qiao Zhi's attention finally focused.
Zhong Shi lowered his voice and said: "I just got the gossip that the organizing committee has invited several chefs from abroad, and it is expected that there will be an international chef performance competition after the chef competition." To be honest, the top three or top five can compete with the international chef king. ”
Qiao Zhi secretly thought that Mei Ling was still hiding deep enough, she must have known the news in advance, but she didn't tell herself.
"The meaning of the organizing committee can also be understood, this King Chef Competition is also to prepare for the World King Chef Competition next year, and warm up for everyone first. Qiao Zhi analyzed.
Zhong Shi sighed and said, "I'm making plans to get into the top ten and get better." The qualification to fight with the world's chef king is still in the hands of others. It's okay to win, but it's a shame to lose. ”
Qiao Zhi gave Zhong Shi a kick and said disdainfully: "Do you think the King of Chef Championship is a game of playing house? The top ten are not just those who want to enter." ”
Zhong Shi grinned: "Don't underestimate our strength, me, you, and Hao Wang, it shouldn't be a big problem to enter the fifteenth, but if you want to hit the top three or the championship, it will be difficult." The people who have become the king of chefs in the past are all a generation of master craftsmen. ”
Qiao Zhi knew that there was a national chef behind Zhong Shi, so he still knew a lot about some secrets in the catering industry.
Qiao Zhi smiled faintly, "I only need to complete the task after tomorrow's preliminary round, and as for the promotion later, it will be earned." ”
Zhong Shi glared at Qiao Zhi, always pretending to be invisible.
"Why was you adjusted to the middle of the final internal ranking? I think the old men of the Huaixiang Group are all cramping in their brains. ”
"No, I was able to win in the end, there was a lot of chance. Huaixiang Group's selection list this time also has to refer to the usual synthesis of each restaurant
Appraise. I don't have a restaurant to protect me. ”
Zhong Shi looked at Qiao Zhi seriously, "Anyway, I think there is a conspiracy in it." ”
Qiao Zhi smiled, "Don't think nonsense, you go back to sleep early, if you can't pass the preliminary round tomorrow, it will be a shame." ”
The top 10 in the King of Chefs competition basically have the strength of quasi-national chefs.
As long as the individual does not make mistakes, and precipitates for another five to ten years, he can definitely get the status of a national chef.
Zhong Shi's strength is not bad, and the probability of entering the top ten is very high.
As for Hao Wang's true biography of Meng Heqing, he also has the strength to hit the top ten.
Anyway, he was ready, made the cut in a low-key manner, and passed the screening in a form that looked reluctant.
In this way, you don't let others discover your true strength, and you can hide more hole cards.
Gou plan, whoever can survive to the end is the real winner.
Dong Yu's constant harassment of himself was a side effect of his excessive efforts in the internal selection competition of Huaixiang Group.
Next, he has to develop in a low-key manner to avoid being paid too much attention and attracting too much firepower.
The final stage of the King Chef Competition is different from the previous selection system.
The internal selection competition takes into account the overall strength of the players and adopts a progressive system, and the results of the previous game will be carried over to the next game.
But in the final stage, the organizers will not think about it so much.
Luck is also a factor in the game.
Each round is a knockout round, and if you don't pass the previous round, you will be completely disqualified from the next round.
Similarly, Qiao Zhi doesn't need to think about the results of the previous games, he only needs to get stuck in the score to advance.
It's like a track and field or swimming competition.
In the preliminaries and semi-finals in the front, athletes will retain their strength and wait until the finals to completely break out.
Of course, only the masters can decide what their position will be in the previous rounds, which is also a reflection of strength.
Qiao Zhi made a detailed big data calculation, and it is expected that in the first round of the game, he will be able to enter the next round with 95 points.
Judging from the first round of previous years, 95 points is a threshold, which is basically divided into the top 30 and the bottom 20 in the preliminary round.
This is the cut-off score that the judges deliberately set.
After sending Zhong Shi away, Qiao Zhi took a shower, changed into pajamas, and lay on the bed to call his parents who were far away in country M first.
My father is doing well and is expected to return home early.
Qiao Zhi was still quite happy, but also a little worried.
After my parents returned to China, I found that my life with the Tao family was not so smooth, and I am afraid that I would be sad and uncomfortable.
Hanging up the phone and looking at the ceiling, Qiao Zhi took the initiative to send a text message to Tao Ruxue, "I've settled down, good night." ”
I originally thought that the stone would sink into the sea, but I didn't expect to react quickly, "Come on tomorrow, if you can persist until the finals, maybe I will come to the scene to cheer you on." ”
Qiao Zhi was slightly stunned and asked, "Aren't you kidding?"
Tao Ruxue quickly replied, "You think I'm you, my mouth is always not serious, and what I say is almost like air." I will keep my promises. ”
Air?
Qiao Zhi smiled.
Tao Ruxue became a lot more polite.
- "What I sometimes say is like a special substance mixed with 59 percent nitrogen, 21 percent hydrogen, 9 percent carbon dioxide, 7 percent methane, and 3 percent oxygen. ”
- "Nonsense again, it's not early, I have to sleep." ”
Tao Ruxue looked short
Letter, couldn't help but laugh.
A fart is a fart, to put it so lofty, it's really a talent.
Throwing the phone aside, Qiao Zhi put his hands under the back of his head.
Looking at the ceiling, Hu Yongqing's appearance suddenly flashed in his mind.
Hu Yongqing's preference for French food impressed Qiao Zhi deeply.
Although China is known as the country of food, the cultural status of Chinese food is far inferior to that of other traditional cultures.
At the end of the day, the profession of a chef is looked down upon by many people.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a gentleman cooks far away.
In fact, the gentleman is far away from cooking, not that the saint discriminates against the two professions of butcher and cook, but is misinterpreted by many people.
"Gentleman Far Cook" was first published in the "Book of Rites", and the next sentence is "All flesh and blood are practiced", which means that all flesh and blood should not be killed with your own hands.
The so-called "gentleman is far away from cooking" refers to a state of mind that cannot bear to kill, but it has been misinterpreted as despising the two professions of butcher and cook.
In Qiao Zhi's view, the organizers continue to carry out the King of Chef Competition, not only to win the winners, but also to promote the chef's profession, so that everyone can respect and understand the chef's profession.
It is hoped that through competitive activities, we can attract everyone's attention to chefs and enhance the gold content and compelling quality of this profession.
The ranking of the world's three famous gastronomic countries is: China, island country, and France.
However, according to the Michelin guide, there are 32 three-star restaurants in the island, followed by 26 in France, and only one in Huaxia, which is also a French restaurant.
In France, cooking is seen as an art.
Life is not wonderful without food, and chefs have a high social status just like musicians and painters.
There was a famous chef in France named Paul Bocuse. When he died, hundreds of world-famous chefs attended the funeral in uniform and even the President of France attended to mourn him.
Qiao Zhi's style is very "Gou", but his ambition is really big!
One of Qiao Zhi's mottos: You can live a very aggrieved life now, and your personal vision and pattern must be lofty enough.
The farther you see, the more you have the motivation to keep moving forward.
......
Dong Yu was unable to separate Qiao Zhi twice in a row, and he was finally able to convince his master Liu Da to give up the strategy of recruiting him and adopt a destruction plan instead.
Liu Da connected Dong Yu's phone, waited for Dong Yu to explain his intentions, frowned, and said, "Is he really unwilling to cooperate with us?"
Dong Yu was slightly surprised, Liu Da said cooperation, not refuge.
Cooperation is to put each other on an equal footing, and then negotiate the division of interests.
And when Dong Yu came into contact with Qiao Zhi, his attitude was condescending, more like a charity.
That's right, he was so bad that he even asked the chairman to give him his daughter. The chairman's daughter is only seven years old this year, and he began to make up his mind, do you say that he is not a beast?"
Liu Da knew Dong Yu's personality, this disciple was too utilitarian, and he was afraid that he would only be jealous of Qiao Zhi.
"What's your plan next?" Liu Da said tentatively.
"I think we can start with his Internet celebrity canteen, which completely ruined his hard work and was despised and excluded by the Tao family, so he would think of cooperating with us. Dong Yu proposed.
Liu Da frowned, secretly thinking that if Qiao Zhizhen was excluded by the Tao family, he might not have much value to the Shujue Group, right?
"Then do as you wish. ”
Liu Da felt that if Dong Yu could design and destroy Qiao Zhi, it would be a choice.
