Qiao Zhi followed the crowd and took a seat, and the Huaxia delegation was arranged in the middle position, like the island country and the new country were arranged in the front position.

Judging from this detail, it is also the current position of Chinese cuisine in the Asian division.

Although Huaxia catering enterprises are all over the world and are deeply loved by the public, their status in the culinary world is not recognized.

Any kind of culture is spread from the inside out as the country becomes stronger.

Nowadays, Western culture is generally accepted in the world, and it is also because of the strong national strength of country M and European countries that it has caused others to follow suit.

Both humans and animals will follow the example of the strong, believing that the strong have their own areas to learn.

At the end of the last century, Asia saw the strongest economic development momentum in the island countries, South Korea, and new countries.

Therefore, the surrounding countries have been referring to the advantages of these leading countries in social governance and economic layout.

In many places, Huaxia enterprises have referred to the business operation models of island countries and new countries, and as for the concept of catering, they have also been influenced by the food culture of these countries.

For example, in recent years, island cuisine and Korean barbecue have been very popular in China.

Cultural import is related to the strength of the country, which is especially obvious in catering.

When I went abroad and participated in such large-scale events, I realized that the influence of Chinese cuisine was not as great as I imagined.

Now Kim Jingsheng, the president of the Asian Cuisine Association, is a Korean, and Lee Geun-young, the vice president, is a Chinese.

He took Jin Jingsheng to the position of the Chinese delegation, and Tang Qi and Jin Jingsheng introduced the players of the Chinese delegation.

Jin Jingsheng greeted several people warmly and went to other delegations.

Li Genrong whispered to Tang Qi: "Although the people sent by Secretary General Tang's Huaxia delegation this time are the strongest in history, the strength of the opponent cannot be underestimated, especially the island countries and new countries, they have sent the strongest young chefs in history. ”

Tang rode his head and said confidently: "President Li, please rest assured, we will fight for the country and will never drop the chain." ”

Li Genrong nodded, patted Tang Qi on the shoulder, and his eyes fell on Qiao Zhi's body, "You are Qiao Zhi, right?" I have heard your name, but for these foreigners, they are not very familiar with you, so let them be surprised." ”

Qiao Zhi saw a kind of ardent expectation and a hidden pride in Li Genrong's eyes.

"I entered the competition with the idea of learning, and I don't think it matters at all what kind of ranking I get. I'm still very young, not this time, I can continue to participate next time. Qiao Zhi said modestly.

Li Genrong was slightly stunned and laughed, "Okay, good, your mentality is really good, you are not arrogant or impatient, and you are invincible." ”

Jin Jingsheng saw that Li Genrong did not follow, and his eyes showed dissatisfaction.

Kim has been the president of the Culinary Association for more than a decade and is expected to retire next year, while Lee Geun-young's voice is now very high and he is likely to replace him.

However, if you want to replace yourself, you must also have strength to support it.

Although Huaxia catering is large in scale and covers a wide range, the level in the field of high-end cooking has been lackluster.

Therefore, Li Genrong wants to replace himself, but also depends on the strength of Huaxia Catering in the field of high-end cooking, this World Culinary League, Li Genrong is also holding back his strength, and has been in contact with the Huaxia Cuisine Association for a long time, hoping that Huaxia can send the strongest team in history.

But Jin Jingsheng has studied the Chinese team, and from the perspective of paper strength, he may be able to achieve certain results, but it is too difficult to surpass the island countries and South Korea.

In particular, two young people were arranged, one of them was Sun Shichao, and the other was Qiao Zhi.

Sun Shichao is under the age of thirty-five, which is very young among all the players, as for Qiao Zhi's age of less than thirty, this is a bit too much, and he looks down on players from other countries.

Waiting for Li Genrong to keep up with the troops, Jin Jingsheng said lightly: "Chairman Li, you are very confident in the situation of the Huaxia delegation this time, and we have been communicating for a long time just now. ”

Lee Geun-young smiled: "Chairman Kim also gave great encouragement when he contacted the Korean delegation just now, although our usual work is to work hard for the culinary cause in Asia, but we all have a strong sense of family and country in our bones. Not forgetting the roots, not forgetting the roots, not counting the classics and forgetting the ancestors, is one of the bottom lines for everyone. ”

Jin Jingsheng laughed: "Chairman Li, what you said is so right. Let's make a bet, how about it?"

"What bet?"

"South Korea and Huaxia, the number of people who can enter the finals this time, if there is more Korea, then I will win, if there are more Huaxia, you will win. ”

"What about the bets?"

"I know you have a valuable jade horse in your office. If I win, you'll have to give me that jade horse. Jin Jingsheng's eyes flashed with a strong look.

"I prefer your collection of vases from the Qianlong period. "Lee chose a bet of similar value.

"Okay, that's a deal. ”

Kim Jingsheng stretched out his hand and high-fived Li Genrong.

Li Genrong smiled slightly and responded to the battle.

Like this kind of bet, Li Genrong can't be cowardly.

Once you admit defeat, you will be a disgrace to the country.

It's not terrible to lose, you don't even have the heart to fight, that's terrible!

The entourage next to him saw the fighting style of these two people, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, this game is really good to watch.

Half an hour later, the launching ceremony began in the lecture hall of the hotel, in addition to the representatives of the International Culinary Association, there were also the main leaders of the Asian Culinary Association, in addition to the contestants, there were also leaders of national culinary associations, and reporters from various countries.

Judging from the size of the lineup, it is indeed a very important game.

The host is a very famous female host in Xinguo, who looks like a Chinese. It is not surprising that Xinguo is a country of immigrants, of which more than 74 percent are Chinese immigrants, whose ancestral homes are in southern Fujian and southern Guangdong.

Therefore, Chinese is also one of the main languages of the new country.

The hostess smiled, "I'm very happy to host this conference, my name is Chen Xinyi, don't look at me as thin, in fact, I'm also a foodie." I usually like to travel around the world and look for all kinds of food, if you have paid attention to a show in Xinguo, a wonderful food tour, then you should be familiar with me.

I just took a look at the list of chefs who participated in this event, and there are quite a few of them, and I visited you on the show before. I will never forget your cooking skills, and I believe that this competition will definitely conquer the judges and opponents.

The conference will be broadcast live on a number of TV stations and online platforms, and your performance will also be shown to many food-loving audiences.

Next, I would like to invite Mr. Jin Jingsheng, President of the Asian Cuisine Association, to deliver an opening speech. ”

Jin Jingsheng walked to the center of the stage amid applause, he opened the speech in a hurry, and the staff next to him helped him increase the position of the microphone appropriately.

Jin Jingsheng smiled, "Hello guests, leaders, colleagues, media friends.

There is no doubt that this is an unprecedented event for the Asian culinary industry. This time, we gathered 100 chefs to compete here. The competition is inevitably competitive, and it may be cruel, but we all have the same goal, hoping that through our own efforts, we can give rich and colorful changes to food, so that more people can perceive the magic of food.

We are supported by multiple sponsors this time, so the rewards are also very generous. In addition to the fact that you will receive a lot of appearance fees, you will also have a great future. Because the best F&B companies in all of Asia will open their doors to you.

Once again, I sincerely hope that everyone can achieve results and show themselves, and I wish the conference a smooth conclusion. ”

Waiting for Jin Jingsheng to walk off the stage, Chen Xinyi walked up, "Next, I would like to invite Mr. Blaize, the director of the International Culinary Association in Asia, to come to the stage to convey the spirit of the International Culinary Association's competition." ”

Blaise walked to the podium, he didn't take the script to read, took off the microphone on the podium, walked to the center of the stage, looked around, and smiled, "The participants in this competition are the elite and strong in the Asian culinary industry, and it is an honor to witness your great performance."

The World Culinary League is held from time to time, and it will only be held according to the changes in the World Culinary League Dragon List. Everyone knows that there were three kitchen gods who retired from the Dragon List last year, one of them passed away, and two retired, and the positions vacated by them need to be filled by you juniors.

Every Longbang chef not only needs to have superb cooking skills, but also have a sense of responsibility to lead human food culture.

The Asian region has always been the most important region of the competition, and many excellent chefs have come out of us to achieve good results in the finals. The mantle of the predecessors needs to be taken over by those of you who come after you.

Ladies and gentlemen, I will now hand over the stage to you. I believe that you will be able to bring us unparalleled food and wonderful performances. ”

The process then proceeded, including the oath taking by the contestants' representatives.

Chen Xianzhong, a player from the new country, was only notified last night and learned that he was speaking as a representative of the players.

As a representative of the players, he felt very excited on the one hand, but also felt a lot of pressure on the other.

He knew what it meant.

"It's an honor to stand here and take the oath on behalf of all the contestants.

We pledge to devote ourselves to this competition with the utmost enthusiasm.

Play fairly, be genuinely committed, and show your best. ”

Walking off the stage amid applause, although his steps were very calm, his mentality was a little floating.

What kind of person can be a representative?

Definitely exceptional people.

If you enter the qualifying round by yourself and get a ticket to the finals, you should be sure of nine out of ten.

Sun Shichao was very unwilling.

Chen Xian finally just relied on his advantage as the host country, and did not have any outstanding achievements, so what qualifications did he have to represent many players.

He glanced at Qiao Zhi and saw in Qiao Zhi's eyes - pity?

Qiao Zhi is indeed very sympathetic to Chen Xiandong.

Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind!

The ninety-nine players present are probably now regarded as a thorn in the flesh in the eye, and they can't wait to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Whoever overthrows him will be an upset!

Qiao Zhi felt a little helpless, he was not a seeded player, no matter which group he stood out from, he was an upset.

He really didn't want to upset......

The upset is too eye-catching, not low-key at all!
