In Megumi Kitaoka's view, Qiao Zhi's support for her participation in the World Culinary League is trust and motivation.

Over the past few months, Megumi Kitaoka has felt like she has changed dramatically from the inside out.

She used to live in the royal restaurant of the Suigetsu Group, and although she often received all kinds of praise, she always felt that something was missing.

After arriving at Qiao's gang leader, she gradually realized where the difference was!

In the past, her cooking works did not really penetrate into the hearts of customers and understand what customers really need.

Qiao Zhi asked Megumi Kitaoka to start from chores and be the simplest waiter, and in the process of communicating with customers, Megumi Kitaoka understood the needs of customers.

Good food can please anyone, but the best food should be tailored to a specific customer, and can use the stimulation of food to arouse customers' memories, touches, happiness and beauty.

This is the top cooking style, the realm of cooking with heart.

Objectively speaking, Qiao Zhi did not ignore Megumi Kitaoka, but reshaped her.

She already has a solid foundation, knife work, fire skills, and cooking have all reached a very high level, but what she lacks is to settle down and ponder her own kitchen.

Her previous cooking path was the path of Rukawa Kosuke's copy chef.

Megumi Kitaoka learned the essence of Rukawa Kosuke's technique, but that doesn't mean that what she is best at is "copying".

In Qiao Zhi's opinion, Megumi Kitaoka's biggest feature is that the light bulb keeps "dinging" next to her head, she is an epiphany player, and the frequency of epiphany is super fast, and the improvement of strength is amazing.

Qiao Zhi researched and interpreted Megumi Kitaoka.

This is a changeable chef, her cooking style is different from anyone's, so Qiao Zhi chooses to stand at a higher angle and vision, and guide her step by step, mainly to inspire and enlighten.

Qiao Zhi asked her to learn Chinese quickly, which seems a bit harsh, but if you want to learn Chinese food well, you must first have an understanding of Chinese culture.

Megumi Kitaoka also lived up to expectations, except for some obscure words, or pun entendres, which made her feel confused, but she could be called half a Huaxia expert.

Qiao Zhi asked Megumi Kitaoka to participate in the World Culinary League, which meant that she would be used as a shield, and secondly, Megumi Kitaoka would also be an important bargaining chip for the Qiao Gang's main canteen to march internationally.

The island nation remains one of the world's leading economies, especially in Asia. On the surface, the culture of the island country seems to have Chinese culture integrated into it, but the understanding of food of the island people is more Westernized.

The island nation is located next to Huaxia and has one of the most Michelin-starred restaurants in the world.

The so-called building near the water, if the Qiao gang leader can't even occupy a place in the market of the island country, how can he talk about going to Europe and planting the banner of the Qiao gang leader on the soil of any university in the world.

Megumi Kitaoka knows a lot about the food culture of the island country, and she knows where her strengths lie and where her weaknesses lie.

Using the sharp spearhead of Huaxia catering to attack the weak point of island catering, this is Qiao Zhi's expectation of Megumi Kitaoka.

Of course, that's a longer-term plan, and in the short term, Megumi Kitaoka will be one of the biggest cards that Qiao Zhi has in his hands right now.

The so-called open card is something that is placed in the open place, which has a certain deterrent effect, so that people dare not provoke you easily, which is the so-called soldier who surrenders without a fight.

Why is it that in peacetime, major powers will conduct military exercises at every turn?

That's deliberately exposing some of your hole cards

, turn it into a card, release it to the opponent, and tell everyone, I have so many powerful weapons now, if you want to start a war, you can weigh it yourself!

In the thinking of Westerners, they are more inclined to be explicit, unlike the Chinese who like to hide their strength.

If you only hide your strength, it will be in constant trouble, not only the powerful country will think that you are cowardly and can be bullied, but even some of the surrounding people will think that you are easy to bully.

When it's time to flex your muscles, you have to flex them.

In the future, if anyone in the cooking league wants to challenge Qiao Zhi, Megumi Kitaoka will become a wall between Qiao Zhi and the challenger.

You want to challenge me?

I'm sorry, please defeat my apprentice Kitaoka first!

If you can't even defeat my apprentice, what qualifications do you have to challenge me?

Mei Ling's arrangement of Qiao Zhi was also laughing and crying, and he really spared no effort to avoid trouble.

As for Megumi Kitaoka's admiration and trust in Qiao Zhi, Mei Ling was also breathtaking.

This is mainly related to the culture of the island country, and in the thoughts of the island people, respect for teachers is engraved into the bone marrow.

Megumi Kitaoka now regards Qiao Zhi as the most important person, which is irrefutable.

Hearts for hearts.

Qiao Zhi was wary of Kitaoka Megumi at the beginning, "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different", and as she got along with Kitaoka Megumi, the ice slowly melted.

However, it is said that it takes energy and effort to teach apprentices, but on the issue of teaching Megumi Kitaoka, Qiao Zhi really didn't spend too much time, and it is not an exaggeration to describe Megumi Kitaoka as a cheap apprentice.

Judging from the judges' evaluation of Megumi Kitaoka today, Megumi Kitaoka's strength has exceeded many people's expectations.

Originally, Mei Ling felt that she was in the fifteenth position of the tiger list, but now it seems that she has the strength to impact the top five.

Except for Qiao Zhi himself, no one knows how Qiao Zhi cultivated Megumi Kitaoka, so that she has made such a big progress in a short period of time.

Although the Qiao gang leader has only been established for a year, his strength on paper is still very strong.

Max and Megumi Kitaoka are enough to be in charge of any catering giant, but they were taken under Qiao Zhi's command, plus Qiao Zhi himself is a top chef, so many leaders in the catering industry have already noticed the hidden strength of Qiao Gang Leader.

After the competition, the media interviewed the players.

"This is your first time participating in the World Culinary League, and you have won, how do you feel?" asked the handsome-faced Western male reporter.

"A win in a game doesn't mean anything. Megumi Kitaoka modestly said, "Wajda is a respectable opponent, and the food he cooks is delicious, imaginative and creative. There are many subjective and objective reasons for losing to me today. I learned a lot of valuable lessons from him. ”

"You chose Chinese food as the basis for the competition today, and you are an island country, and from the information, you are good at island cuisine. Why is there such a big change?" the male reporter's question became a little sharp.

"Half a year ago, I took Qiao Zhi as my teacher, and under the guidance of my master, I gradually fell in love with Chinese cooking. I didn't mean to catch my opponent off guard, but I'm a Chinese chef now. As for island cuisine, it is just my culinary enlightenment, and I have chosen to put aside island cuisine and focus on Chinese cuisine. ”

Megumi Kitaoka told the truth, and because of this, he was amazing.

The male reporter gasped

With this alone, I am afraid that tomorrow the industry will set off an uproar.

In front of the media, Megumi Kitaoka said that she gave up island cuisine and chose Chinese food, is this a betrayal?

Internationally, island cuisine has always been in a more high-end position than Chinese cuisine, but as a talented and beautiful chef recognized by the island cuisine industry, she chose Chinese food.

This will cause controversy in the culinary circles of the two countries about who is superior and who is inferior.

When Qiao Zhi saw Megumi Kitaoka's interview, his jaw almost dropped.

Although what Megumi Kitaoka said made me feel very warm, it was good to say it in private, how could I say it in public in such a high-profile manner?

Isn't this finding something to do for yourself?

Megumi Kitaoka is too simple, the way to make enemies, don't be too windy.

That's it, if it comes, it will be safe.

Who made her his apprentice?

Wipe your butt, let's do it yourself.

Qiao Zhi called Mei Ling and said in a deep voice: "In the process of Beigang Hui's interview, there are signs of provoking a dispute between the island country and Huaxia Catering, you should pay attention to the development of public opinion in the later stage, and don't let things become too complicated." ”

Mei Ling bowed slightly, "I know! Beigang is still too young." ”

Qiao Zhi touched his chin, thought about it, and said softly: "Qiao Gang Master's first international store plan, I'm afraid it will be advanced. ”

Mei Ling quickly reacted, "Island country?"

"You're really a roundworm in my stomach, you can guess that!" Qiao Zhi smiled.

"If there is a huge controversy about the food and beverage in the island country and China, it is obviously the most appropriate time to open the first international store in the island country at this time, and there will definitely be many food lovers from the island country who come to consume with a skeptical mentality. ”

Mei Ling's eyes flashed, and she keenly grasped the elements that were enough to detonate the market.

"That's right, so you know how to guide public opinion, right?" Qiao Zhi smiled.

"Well, I will try my best to weaken the promotion of Megumi Kitaoka's personal and strengthen the collision of the catering culture of the two countries. The cooperation between Meiling and Qiao Zhi became more and more tacit.

Qiao Zhidao: "Is there a good connection with the school?"

Mei Ling said: "We contacted Kyoto Imperial University, and they have the intention of cooperating with us. However, I told you before that if you want to gain a foothold in the island country, you must cooperate with the local overseas Chinese chamber of commerce. ”

Qiao Zhi bowed slightly, "I can understand that we must speed up and strive to launch the first international store in Kyoto before public opinion calms down." ”

The idea of setting up an international store in an island country has been around for a long time, and many things are going on in secret, and now that you find a good opportunity, of course, you should strike while the iron is hot.

......

Kosuke Rukawa has just finished his work today from the back kitchen and is in the office, eager to search for the results of Megumi Kitaoka and Wajda's match.

"Ah Hui, you are indeed the most talented young man I have ever met!"

Rukawa Kosuke laughed out loud with relief when he saw Megumi Kitaoka win, and there was a hint of loss hidden in his smile.

Megumi Kitaoka has forgotten what she had taught her and has begun to create and construct her own unique culinary philosophy.

From the perspective of culinary inheritance, Megumi Kitaoka is no longer his apprentice.

After watching Megumi Kitaoka's interview, Kosuke Rukawa showed surprise in his eyes.

"Ah Hui, your thoughts are too simple, you have pushed yourself to the forefront!"
