Island country, Kyoto, Kitaoka.

The man in a red Tang suit sat on the sofa, and he put an envelope on the coffee table, and Megumi Kitaoka's mother turned out to be an envelope, pinched, and it was much thicker than last month.

Megumi Kitaoka's father was in a wheelchair, his face first showed a look of surprise, and he smiled, "Mr. Gu, I am so grateful to receive your funding every month." ”

Mr. Gu sighed softly, "I won't hide it from you, I'm just entrusted by others, and there are other people who support you." ”

Megumi Kitaoka's stepmother hurriedly asked, "May I ask who this benefactor is?"

Mr. Gu said, "It's time to tell you." My client's name is Zhou Chong, and he is Megumi Kitaoka's senior brother. ”

"Ahui?" said Kitaoka's father's face was complicated.

"Although you don't have a good relationship with Megumi Kitaoka, as a senior brother and sister, after Zhou Chong learned about your situation, he still felt that he had to do something for Megumi Kitaoka. Mr. Gu said, "Please rest assured, he will still entrust me to give you living expenses every month in the future." ”

"Ah Hui......" Kitaoka Megumi's stepmother blamed herself, "I was wrong in the first place, if I hadn't forced her to be with Kawashima Vano, she wouldn't have left home and left the island country." ”

Mr. Gu smiled, "You don't have to blame yourself so much, Ah Hui is doing well in Huaxia." She went abroad to learn Chinese food, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

The stepmother was relieved, "It's too hard for girls to run around alone." ”

Mr. Gu said: "Everyone has their own pursuits, and as a parent, you should not interfere in your children's lives. ”

The stepmother looked stunned and bowed slightly.

Megumi Kitaoka went abroad, and Kawashima Kamino never appeared again, and it was learned from many sources that Kawashima Kamino had left the Suigetsu Group because of suspected job problems.

If Megumi Kitaoka had married Kawashima Vano, it would have meant that Megumi Kitaoka's reputation would also be implicated.

The stepmother often thinks of Megumi Kitaoka's goodness and secretly feels sad.

"By the way, Megumi Kitaoka will be competing in the International Culinary Tournament tomorrow and will try her cooking skills against a Polish chef. ”

"Yes? We'll watch the live. The stepmother was surprised.

"I'll send you the live broadcast address. ”

Seeing that Mr. Gu was leaving, his stepmother hurriedly got up and sent him away.

Although Megumi Kitaoka left most of their savings to them before leaving the country, their lives did not improve.

The family had no labor, so they could only sit and eat, but fortunately, Mr. Gu suddenly appeared and gave the family a certain amount of funding every month, so that this not wealthy family could barely support it.

Mr. Gu was a colleague with Megumi Kitaoka's father before, and at first he thought that he was sympathetic and helpful out of colleague affection, but now he realized that Mr. Cao was entrusted by someone.

Sitting in his car, Mr. Gu made a phone call to Mei Ling, "Mr. Mei, according to your meaning, this month's subsidy has been handed over to Megumi Kitaoka's father and stepmother, and they feel annoyed and remorseful for breaking off relations with Megumi Kitaoka." I'm a little strange, why did Qiao Zhi use Zhou Chong's name instead of him?"

Mei Ling sighed, isn't this Qiao Zhi's consistent low-key style?

Just do bad things without leaving a name, and do good things without leaving a trace!

Mei Ling smiled and avoided talking: "Thank you, Lao Gu." When you return home, I will invite you to dinner. ”

Mr. Gu laughed, "It's better to wait for you to come to the island country, right? Isn't the Qiao gang leader going to build an international branch in the island country? ”

Mei Ling bowed her head and said, "No problem, I promised you on behalf of Qiao Zhi." ”

In order to enter the island nation, one must have sufficient resources.

Mr. Gu is on the island

Chinatown's country originally operated a Chinese restaurant, and he has a wide range of connections, and with his shares, he is not afraid that Qiao Gangster will not be able to take root in the island country.

......

The match between Megumi Kitaoka and Polish celebrity chef Wajda, although it is not as popular as the match between Qiao Zhi and Max, has caused quite a stir under the operation of Mei Ling.

Megumi Kitaoka is Qiao Zhi's apprentice, and because he has appeared on the official account of the Qiao gang leader for a long time, he has also attracted a group of fans of Mr. Kitaoka.

The eating habits of Poles are broadly similar to those of other Eastern European countries.

Poles usually eat pasta. They love to eat grilled, boiled, and stewed dishes, and the taste is medium and not very heavy.

Most of the meat ingredients in the dishes are sausages, grilled meats, and stews.

The most famous national dish is the Polish dumplings.

At the pre-match meeting, Wajda didn't expect so many flashing lights from the audience.

"I've got to know Kitaoka in detail, and this is a talented female chef who cooks dishes that are delicate, sophisticated, and full of feminine aesthetics. However, cooking is a matter of experience, especially in this kind of world competition, and I would tell her that cooking is not just a matter of talent. "Wajda was more condescending than he imagined when he was ruthless.

Megumi Kitaoka waited for the microphone to pass it to him, and smiled faintly, "Mr. Wajda seems to be very sensitive to talent, so he will emphasize it." In fact, in my opinion, cooking is more about the state of mind. Regardless of victory or defeat, I will respect my opponent and believe that he and I will not disappoint everyone and give everyone a good game. ”

Megumi Kitaoka's speech was like playing Tai Chi and resolved the conflict.

Her way of retreating into advance adds a lot of points to herself, while Wajda is seen as too arrogant and strong.

The competition began in the afternoon of the second day, and the questions were relatively simple, with both contestants preparing three dishes in the form of plates, each dish worth six points, one for the opponent to taste, and five for the judges to taste.

Wajda is 45 years old, and when faced with Megumi Kitaoka, who is enough to be her daughter, she does not take it lightly and cooks a table of creative dishes based on Polish cuisine.

This is what he is best at, and I believe that with decades of experience, he will definitely not lose to a little girl.

Wajda's three-course meal is Polish dumplings, rye soup and grilled sausages in an iron basin.

From the appearance, the color is bright and full of appetite, showing the most primitive roughness and grandeur of food.

Megumi Kitaoka tasted them one by one, and sure enough, the chefs who could participate in the cooking league were all first-class masters.

The fruit filling of the dumpling skin is thicker, and the secret dumpling sauce makes people subvert the perception of dumplings.

The rye soup is very tasty and tangy.

The sausages grilled in an iron basin are crispy and delicious, served with mustard lemon sauce and slightly sweet sauerkraut, which makes the taste buds unleash perfectly.

If it had been six months ago, Megumi Kitaoka would not have been completely sure of victory.

But now she's confident in her work.

"What? Megumi Kitaoka didn't choose island food!"

"She actually chose Chinese cuisine!"

"Megumi Kitaoka must have learned a lot when he entered Qiao Zhi's sect. ”

"I don't think so. Megumi Kitaoka came to China from the island country, but it's only been half a year, can she learn the essence of Chinese food?"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and most of them questioned Megumi Kitaoka's strength.

However, Megumi Kitaoka did not choose the island cuisine that he was best at, but chose fusion cuisine based on Chinese Huainan cuisine.

Megumi Kitaoka chose hollow puffer fish balls, golden soup silver silk white jade, and hamburger crispy duck to deal with it.

"This fish ball is so tempting. Jesse Dabang, a judge from Thailand, sighed.

fish

The balls are placed on a high platform, and the body of a peacock is carved out of pumpkins, and the feathers of the peacock are made from carefully pickled cucumber slices.

Megumi Kitaoka's previous good platings are mainly small and exquisite, and the shape on the scene not only has many details, but also is luxurious.

The fish balls are covered in a thick, brown sauce and sprinkled with green crushed leaves, and then the rich, fresh meat aroma is mixed with a hint of fragrance.

Jesse Dabang put the balls into his mouth, chewed them gently, and a burst of pulp overflowed from the inside of the balls, the force was strong, but it was just right, filling the mouth with a mouth, but not rushing out of the mouth.

When chewing, the sauce seeps into the fish, and the crispy shell envelops the tenderness inside, and sometimes there is a kind of elastic toughness.

When the meatballs are in the mouth, a variety of flavors sweep in, like a strong hail, not giving a chance to breathe.

"Great!" Jesse Dabang said with a heartfelt sigh.

"The soup is full of charred on the outside and tender on the inside, rich and sweet in taste, hand-kneaded, not so greasy, but it fully shows the deliciousness of the puffer fish. I'm going to give it a perfect score!" said the judges from Sweden excitedly.

The other two dishes, golden soup and silver silk white jade, hamburger crispy duck, like the first course, also brought the shock of the judges and opponents!

All of Megumi Kitaoka's previous public information was mainly in the island style, but now it has suddenly become a Chinese style.

Mei Ling found the shadow of Qiao Zhi from Megumi Kitaoka's works, although the taste is different, but the Chinese cuisine is integrated with the elements of island countries and Western food, and the creative concept is the same, implying exquisite ideas.

In the end, the judges unanimously said that Megumi Kitaoka defeated Wajda by an absolute margin.

Megumi Kitaoka shakes hands with Wajda.

Wajda sighed: "I made a serious mistake in judgment, I originally thought that you would choose island cuisine, but I didn't expect to use Chinese cuisine." ”

Megumi Kitaoka smiled, "I've forgotten all about island cuisine, and I'm now a Chinese chef." ”

Wajda said with a smile: "I originally planned to send Qiao Zhi a battle letter immediately after defeating you, but now it seems that there is no need for it." ”

Megumi Kitaoka smiled faintly: "If you want to challenge my master, you must first pass my level, if you can't defeat me, there is no need to challenge him, he is much stronger than me." ”

After Megumi Kitaoka stepped down, Qiao Zhi took the initiative to greet him.

Megumi Kitaoka quickened her pace and almost crashed into Qiao Zhi's body.

Qiao Zhi was stunned, and subconsciously put his palm on Megumi Kitaoka's shoulder.

"You've done a great job, you did a perfect job today, and you're going to have to keep up the good stuff in the future. Qiao Zhi found out that Megumi Kitaoka was crying.

And no wonder!

From the standpoint of Megumi Kitaoka, she is equivalent to abandoning her martial arts, learning from scratch, and within half a year, she not only memorizes the Chinese dictionary well, but also starts from miscellaneous work in the main cafeteria of Qiao's gang.

After studying art in a foreign country and suffering a lot, I have finally proved in the international arena that everything I have done is worthwhile.

Megumi Kitaoka wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled, "Master, please forgive me for my fragility, I really couldn't hold back. ”

Qiao Zhi gently pressed on her shoulder, "Ah Hui, fragility is not terrible, what is terrible is slackness." This is your first tournament in the World Culinary League, and you have proven yourself with your strength. I believe you will achieve more good results in the future. ”

Megumi Kitaoka nodded vigorously, Qiao Zhi's admonition to himself is always full of positive energy, full of ardent expectations, and profound philosophy of life.

Mei Ling stood in the distance, looking at Megumi Kitaoka who wiped her tears, with mixed tastes.

Qiao Zhi's long-planned shield plan can be regarded as a success!
