Qiao Zhi got up early the next morning, walked around the hotel, had a buffet breakfast in the restaurant, and received a call from Zhao Qingya, who arranged to pick up his car and was waiting at the door.

Qiao Zhi spent five minutes in the bathroom and sorted out his image.

When I came to the lobby, I saw a thin man who took the initiative to greet him, "Hello, it's Mr. Qiao, right? I am the driver arranged by Mr. Zhao." ”

Qiao Zhi sensed a special aura from the man, and then looked at his eyes, his first reaction was that this guy must have killed someone.

Qiao Zhi called Zhou Chong and told this dog that he was going to get up early today, but he didn't get up until ten minutes ago, and he was still eating in the cafeteria.

After waiting for another five minutes, Zhou Chong trotted over with his bag on his back, and smiled awkwardly at Qiao Zhi: "The alarm clock is set early." ”

Qiao Zhi frowned and was stunned: "The alarm clock is set early, how can you still oversleep?"

Zhou Chong said in a low voice: "I saw that there was still plenty of time, so I pressed the bell and squinted for a while, but I woke up when you called!"

Qiao Zhi wanted to scold Zhou Chong for being too unreliable, and scolding him in front of the driver, he would only make his image a little low, and when the words came to his lips, he became, "You are really good." ”

took Zhou Chong to sit in the car, Zhou Chong picked up his mobile phone and began to send messages.

Qiao Zhi saw that he laughed twice from time to time, and guessed that he must be chatting with Da Da, there was no accident last night, and he stayed up late because of chatting.

When I met this strange apprentice and assistant, I really wanted to kick him to Mount Everest.

After about an hour's drive, the car arrived at a secluded villa area in the southern suburbs, built in the mountains, surrounded by transformed greenery, which is difficult to connect with the main city of Yanjing.

In recent years, all powerful people in China will choose to buy property in the suburbs, where the air is fresh, away from the hustle and bustle, and suitable for weekend vacations.

The car crossed two cement roads, faced with a large bamboo forest, and drove for two or three minutes to see a Chinese-style villa with gray and white as the main color appearing in front of me.

After Qiao Zhi got out of the car, Zhao Qingya walked in from outside and looked at Qiao Zhi with a smile, "Welcome." ”

She was wearing a light blue floral silk cheongsam, stepping on a pair of red high heels, with a slender figure, fair complexion, thin eyebrows and thin lips, just like a character coming out of a poster.

A woman like Zhao, whether it is a post-60s or a post-00s, can't resist her soul-surging charm.

Of course, this woman has a similar style to her mother-in-law, so she can't be messed with, and she can't be messed with.

The scourge of the country and the city!

Qiao Zhi secretly filed a note on her.

Zhao Qingya took Qiao Zhi to the back kitchen, "I have prepared some ingredients for you, if you have anything else, feel free to tell me, and it will be delivered to your door soon." ”

Qiao Zhi checked the variety of ingredients, "Didn't you say that it was good, there was only one table of people? so many ingredients could make at least seven or eight tables." ”

Zhao Qingya smiled: "Isn't this prepared?"

Qiao Zhi joked: "No, this is called being rich and capricious." ”

Zhao Qingya said: "By the way, I will introduce you to a colleague, Man Dongliu, Master Man, he is the chef of Yanjing Yuwei Building, and his team will assist you today." ”

Although Qiao Zhi doesn't know what the origin of this fishtail building is, with Zhao Qingya's identity, the chef he can bring is definitely a famous top chef in Yanjing.

Qiao Zhi smiled: "Can I make a request?"

Zhao Qingya was surprised: "Of course you can." ”

Joe

Zhidao: "If you trust me, give me all the kitchen." ”

Zhao Qingya was stunned, realizing that this involved the dignity and backbone of a chef.

She hurriedly explained: "Actually, this Master Man was not invited by me, but a friend specially invited him today. ”

Qiao Zhi's mood was a lot soothed.

Zhao Qingya is not only beautiful, but also has a very high emotional intelligence, and she can see her inner thoughts at a glance.

"I see, I will not let my master lose face. Qiao Zhi said easily, "Can you know the hometown or permanent residence of today's guests?"

Zhao Qingya reacted quickly, Qiao Zhi planned to customize the banquet according to everyone's tastes.

The identities of the people who eat tonight are not suitable to be revealed, but their origins and the city where they live can still be told to Qiao Zhi.

Qiao Zhi didn't ask them directly, which showed that he was also a particular person.

Zhao Qingya called the assistant to arrange the task, and after a while, she received the sorted information and forwarded it to Qiao Zhi.

Qiao Zhi studied carefully for half an hour, took a pen and wrote down the names of the thirteen dishes on a blank piece of paper.

"Do you want to review the name of the dish?" Qiao Zhi handed it to Zhao Qingya.

Zhao Qingya looked at them one by one from top to bottom, and she could see what ingredients were used from the name of each dish, which was concise and straightforward, without too many fancies.

Zhao Qingya said with a smile: "I'll show tonight's recipe to the master to see if he has any changes." ”

Coming to the study with brisk steps, the man was playing Go with his friend who arrived first, and the two of them were fighting a little fiercely, and the man's chess strength was higher, so he had an advantage.

The man glanced at Zhao Qingya and said curiously, "Xiao Qiao has arrived?"

"Well, he wrote a menu, you can see it, no problem, it's on the menu later. Zhao Qingya said.

The man browsed it and said approvingly: "The handwriting is good, and the name of the dish is also auspicious, so let's follow this." ”

Chen Yunhui, a friend sitting opposite, frowned and said, "I specially invited all the chefs from Yuwei Building, and you let Chef Man be in charge of the back kitchen, so you can be sure." ”

The man laughed, taking the initiative Chen Yunhui is good intentions.

Because of his work, he has lived in other places for a long time in recent years, Chen Yunhui feels that he is an authentic Yanjing person, and this meal should be made by himself, so he invited the chef of Yuwei Mansion Man Dongliu.

"The chef I invited today doesn't have to be a bad chef, haven't you seen a piece of news in the past few days?

Chen Yunhui's eyes lit up, "You won't invite that Qiao gang leader, will you?"

The man smiled faintly, "If it's not him, who else could it be?"

Chen Yunhui gave a thumbs up, "Awesome." Tonight's meal, I want to taste it carefully to see if the country's number one culinary genius lives up to its reputation. ”

The timing of Qiao Zhi's arrival was good, and it happened that the heat of the news had not dissipated.

If there is no report on Qiao Zhi and Max's competition, at most it can be regarded as hiring an Internet celebrity chef.

But now Qiao Zhi has more of the brand of fighting against foreign chefs, and his identity and status are instantly different.

The man laughed and deducted a sunspot, "Okay, I won this game, five and a half eyes!"

Chen Yunhui didn't believe in evil, pinched Baizi, contemplated for a long time, and finally sighed heavily, and said with emotion: "They all say that you are the number one chess player in our circle, amazing, convincing." ”

"I'm lucky, you just got distracted, otherwise, I wouldn't have won it so easily. Come again?"

"Those people haven't arrived yet, let's continue!"

......

Qiao Zhi changed into a chef's uniform and began to prepare in the kitchen, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and he saw a middle-aged man in his fifties, walking in with six assistant cooks.

The middle-aged man was bald, wearing a white chef's suit, and the assistant chef behind him looked very young.

"Your Excellency is Teacher Man, right?" Qiao Zhi put down the work in his hand, judging from the momentum of the other party, things were a little troublesome.

"I heard Ms. Zhao say just now, you don't need our help tonight?" Man Dongliu looked at Qiao Zhi, as a colleague, he naturally knew Qiao Zhi, who had recently become famous.

My reputation in Yanjing is very loud, and I am also famous, but I was told that I would make room for the young man, and I was naturally unconvinced.

"That's right. The back kitchen is a battlefield, the chef is the general, each chef has his own arrangements and ideas, if there is no tacit understanding, there will be problems, not to mention that tonight's task is not heavy, and there is only one table of people. Qiao Zhi patiently explained.

The disciple next to Man Dongliu stood up and said angrily, "Your tone is too big. Don't think that if you win a game, you're the only one in the world. ”

Qiao Zhi had a headache and squeezed his eyebrows at Zhou Chong, "Hurry up and ask Ms. Zhao to come over and maintain order." ”

If you come to cook by yourself, you are not here to quarrel, let alone fight, if it is too big, a good thing becomes a bad thing, it will be dirty.

When Zhao Qingya got the news, she also rushed to the back kitchen and explained to Man Dongliu: "Teacher Man, there are some misunderstandings in this matter today, we originally invited Mr. Qiao to run this private family banquet, as for Mr. Chen inviting you over, we were caught off guard. ”

The apprentice beside Man Dongliu said aggrievedly: "Ms. Zhao, Master brought us over to help, we can't do nothing, just leave, it will be discredited to my master's reputation if it spreads out like that." ”

Zhao Qingya was slightly stunned, "This ......"

The apprentice said, "Otherwise, add another dish to tonight's menu, so that we don't have a trip for nothing." ”

Zhao Qingya glanced at Qiao Zhi, "What do you think?"

Of course Qiao Zhi was not happy in his heart!

What kind of hell is this man of all his thoughts, how can he hide his eyes that are good at discovering conspiracies?

Man Dongliu has the meaning of competing with himself, if one of the thirteen dishes he made loses to Man Dongliu in taste or artistic conception, it means that his title of the first fresh meat chef in China is a wasted name.

Although it was not an official competition, Man Dongliu won himself in an informal setting, and spreading it out did not do him any good reputation.

"Okay!"

Qiao Zhi found that he had no way out.

In particular, this is the aftermath of the victory of the International Culinary League!

Nowadays, people like Man Dongliu, who are hollowing out their minds to compete with themselves, and then stepping on themselves to climb up, grab a lot of them.

Qiao Zhi has become an imaginary stepping stone!

agreed with Man Dongliu that he would cook one dish, and Qiao Zhi would be in charge of the rest of the dishes.

For Man Dongliu, as long as he makes a dish with his heart, the task is easy, and there is a suspicion of cheating.

"Master, why don't you do your best job-full of swallow vegetables?"

"Yes, the whole family of swallow dishes can definitely kill every dish he makes. ”

Man Dongliu glanced at Qiao Zhi lightly and remained silent. If you don't have good skills, the back waves will die on the beach!
