Mandarin Oriental Hotel is one of the long-established hotels in Xianggang, which has held countless large-scale events, and the staff has rich experience in activities, and everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

The hotel manager personally watched the scene, and the layout of the hall was also planned by him.

Because it was a cooking competition, he moved two stoves according to the standards for recruiting chefs in the back kitchen catering department.

Fei Nan found him, and after learning that he was one of the three judges who had come today, the manager hurriedly called his men and took Fei Nan to the judges' lounge.

The lounge is on the outside of the hall, and there is a middle-aged woman who is already in the lounge.

When Fernan came in, she was flipping through a fashion magazine.

She is fashionably dressed, dressed in women's professional attire, wearing black-framed glasses, and has a strong intellectual atmosphere.

"Are you also a judge for this competition?"

Seeing him come in, the middle-aged woman smiled and asked.

"yes!

Fei Nan stepped forward and reached out.

Raising her hand and shaking him gently, the middle-aged woman introduced herself: "My name is Xue Jiayan, and I am also the judge of this competition." ”

Xue Jiayan's name sounded familiar, but Fei Nan had forgotten where he had heard it, and his attention was more focused on her gender.

What the hell is a female judge? Fei Nan clearly remembered that the judges of the Manchurian and Han seats were three men.

After a moment of contemplation, Fernan judged that it should be the effect of the butterfly effect caused by his own appearance.

"My name is Feinan, you can call me Anan. ”

Fernan sat down in the vacant seat beside him.

"Then you can also call me Sister Yan, it sounds younger. ”

Xue Jiayan looked at him with a smile: "I have also participated in the judging of many food competitions, and it is the first time I have seen a judge as young as you." ”

"I'm just picky and know how to eat, and I'm definitely not as professional as Sister Jiayan. Feinan smiled and humbled himself.

"I'm the same! I'm notoriously ignorant of how to cook, only to eat. ”

Xue Jiayan put the magazine on the dressing table, turned to Fei Nan, and faced him: "It's not easy for people like us to pick their mouths, and it's very troublesome to eat." If it's not delicious, you have no appetite, you can't eat it, and if you eat too much delicious food, you get tired of it, and you want to eat fresh, which is the most difficult to serve!"

She said it interestingly, and Fernand sounded like it.

Although the state of the emperor's tongue has made his appreciation of food to the extreme, it has also deprived him of simple pleasures.

It was difficult for him to become interested in those coarse tea and light meals that were too full to eat and barely swallowed, and if it weren't for the map function and the glutton's hunger and starvation expertise, he would probably have to spend a lot of effort and suffer a lot of sins to find a way to satisfy food and clothing.

Xue Jiayan is very talkative, especially proficient in food, and when it comes to all kinds of delicacies around the world, she is like a treasure, and she talks endlessly.

There was still some time before the start of the competition, so Fernan simply chatted with her, and really learned a lot of food knowledge that she didn't know before.

Everyone thinks that bear's paws are only eaten by Chinese people, but in fact, all over the world, in areas with relatively high dimensions, there is a habit of eating bear's paws. ”

"Not to mention the smoky bear's paw in Russia, the taste is average, but the German bearpaw is still very good. ”

"I went to eastern Germany a few years ago and ate in a restaurant in Frankfurt and the recipe was a bit like ours, but the ingredients were different. ”

"They first steamed the bear's paws with mulled red wine, then cut the skin into an iron grill, half of which was embedded with meat filling, and served with lemon juice and pure German dark beer. ”

......

Knock knock!

Fei Nan was listening to Xue Jiayan talk about the practice of bear's paws abroad, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and then saw a short and fat old man about fifty or sixty years old, with a white beard, pushing the door and walking in.

Seeing him, the smile on Xue Jiayan's face faded a little, but she still got up to greet him: "Mr. Tao, it's really you." ”

"Xue Jiayan, sure enough, it's you again. ”

Humpty Dumpty snorted, obviously not very welcoming to Xue Jiayan.

Then, he glanced at Feinan, frowned and asked, "Who is he?"

"Hello Mr. Tao, my name is Fei Nan, and I am one of the judges of this Manchu and Han all-seat competition. Fei Nan stepped forward to introduce himself.

"Judges?"

He looked at Fei Nan carefully, and was a little disappointed: "These catering people are really getting more and more disagreeable, please ask the judges to invite a more reliable one!

Fei Nan's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't speak.

"You're not right, the law doesn't stipulate that only the old man can be the judge, right?"

Xue Jiayan opened his mouth to refute him for Fei Nan.

"What did I say wrong?"

The short and fat old man said solemnly: "This is not to review fast food, not to eat a full stomach. This is the Manchu and Han Dynasty Full Banquet Competition, which eats the accumulation of 5,000 years of Chinese catering culture and evaluates the cultural inheritance behind the banquet. We represent the national identity of tens of thousands of Chinese people around the world, and let a child be a judge, how many years has he eaten?

"You're judging people by their appearance. ”

Xue Jiayan was very dissatisfied.

"Say whatever you want. ”

The short and fat old man didn't say anything more, but walked to the side alone, found an empty seat and sat down.

"Ignore him, he's a stubborn old man. ”

Xue Jiayan pulled Fei Nan to the side and whispered: "His name is Tao Zhen, he is the general counsel of the Xianggang Catering Industry Alliance, and he relies on his own rights all day long, and no one can get used to it, so let's ignore him." ”

Fei Nan smiled, still not speaking.

The rules for the recommendation of judges in this competition are that each party recommends a judge, and then a third party finds a judge to form a jury.

The one recommended by Manhanlou is Fei Nan, and the one recommended by Huang Rong must be this Tao Zhen.

After waiting for almost two hours, the game was finally about to start.

The hotel staff came to inform the entrance, Tao Zhen left the lounge first, and Fei Nan and Xue Jiayan also went to the venue.

In addition to the two contestants, there were also many chefs from the Hunan and Hong Kong Catering Industry Alliance, about forty or fifty people, all of whom sat in the audience in the hall.

When they saw Tao Zhen entering first, they all stood up and applauded to welcome the arrival of the judges.

Cameras have been set up around the hall, and the cameraman is carrying a video camera, standing behind the judges' seat, and his camera is a free perspective.

Le Huizhen saw the judges entering, hurriedly picked up the microphone, and prepared to start the live broadcast.

"Welcome to the special program of "City Watching D", I am the host Le Huizhen, and I am broadcasting live for you. ”

"My current location is on the top floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Central, and today, the Xianggang restaurant industry is facing a special competition. ”

"There are two excellent chefs who will compete with the dishes of the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets, which are known as the pinnacle of Chinese cuisine, to determine who is the strongest chef. ”

"The two sides of the game have signed a bet and placed a bet before the game. The bet consists of 50 million Hong Kong dollars and a restaurant, and the winner can take it all. ”

"Who will win the game? Please lock in the special live broadcast of "City Watch D" and don't go away!"

"The competition is about to start, the participants from both sides are in place, the judges are already seated, and they ...... Huh?"

Le Huizhen turned around and was about to interview the judges, but saw Fei Nan go straight to the right side of the judges' seat and sit down.

What the hell? That bastard is here to be a judge?
