As soon as Chen Mo agreed to Ren Xing's invitation, he saw that Ren Xing's expression contained various emotions, but in the end, it was a relieved smile on his face.

Ni Sheng, Hong Qi, and Li Rong all stared at Chen Mo with encouragement in their eyes.

Yao Zheng, a man in sunglasses who often comes to eat, has been observing the conversation and movement here, and when he heard Chen Mo agree to the other party, Yao Zheng couldn't help but squirt out the food that had just been stuffed into his mouth, and the sunglasses were about to shake off, so he quickly wiped his mouth, stuffed the rice particles sprayed on the side of his mouth back into his mouth, and quickly put the sunglasses on right.

The reactions of these people were completely different from what Chen Mo expected.

What's going on, it's just an exchange activity of young chefs at home and abroad, is it so exaggerated?

"Chen Mo, thank you, thank you for your contribution to Jinling. Ren Xing stood up and held Chen Mo's hand tightly.

Chen Mo: "..."

It feels like ... into the pit.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Ren Xing seemed to be relieved, and began to take the initiative to pick up chopsticks, taste the dishes made by Chen Mo again and again, ask some questions about a few dishes from time to time, and praise the dishes made by Chen Mo from time to time.

After a while, the plates in front of the four of them were all discs.

Ni Sheng touched his stomach with a smile and said, "It seems that I underestimated the combat effectiveness of the four of us, and it seems that the things I ordered are not enough to eat." ”

Although Ni Sheng is nearly 50 years old, he still maintains a good figure.

"Enough, enough, I can eat more, but I can't get fat anymore. Ren Xing replied with a smile.

"Hmm~~ Today's resentment of this stinky tofu pot is satisfied. Li Rong, who had almost eaten a whole stinky tofu pot by herself, had a satisfied expression on her face.

Hong Qi didn't say anything, but he had eaten the most roast duck, and he was half-squinting his eyes and picking his teeth at the moment.

Well... Or maybe they didn't squint.

"Then Chen Mo, we still have something to do today, so we will leave first, the exchange activity will be about two weeks later, in a few days, I will ask the secretary to send you the invitation card and related materials for the competition. Before Ren Xing left, he made a special trip to Chen Mo.

Hearing the word "participation", Chen Mo "sighed" in his heart, it turned out that there was still a competition to participate in this kind of Sino-foreign exchange activities.

Ni Sheng arranged for the three of them to enter his Daben, beckoned to Chen Mo, and then got in the car and left, and several black-clothed bodyguards also got into a business car behind them and followed closely.

After sending the four people away, as soon as Chen Mo turned around, he saw Yao Zheng waving at him.

Chen Mo came to Yao Zheng, and the other party's sunglasses still tightly covered half of his face.

"Boss Chen, do you know that this exchange activity is a pit. From Yao Zheng's grinning mouth, Chen Mo could roughly see the other party's grinning expression.

"Isn't it good for Chen Mo to participate in this kind of activity, and it is also an honor to represent Jinling and foreign young chefs in the exchange competition. The diner who had no idea immediately retorted.

"What do you know!" Yao Zheng, who has always been friendly to others, rarely reprimands others so bluntly, "I'm all doing this for the good of Boss Chen." ”

"Yao Zheng, if you know something, you can say it generously, I Chen Mo can bear it, it's nothing great. "Chen Mo has always been straightforward and fast-talking.

Hearing Chen Mo say this, Yao Zheng said directly: "Do you know why this Sino-foreign exchange activity has been suspended for three years?"

Chen Mo shook his head.

Yao Zheng sighed: "That's because in the previous nine exchange activities, Jinling lost all of them, nine consecutive defeats!"

Nine wins in a row!

This is also an exaggeration.

Even though Chinese cuisine is currently at a low ebb, it is too much to say that the young chefs of Jinling, who have participated in the competition for nine consecutive years, have lost to foreign exchange contestants.

From this point, Chen Mo knows why Chinese cuisine has disappeared and is not accepted.

Yao Zheng continued: "It's because of the nine consecutive defeats that the Jinling Food Office and the Gourmets Association feel too embarrassed, because if you lose again, it will be ten consecutive defeats." Not to mention the president of the Gourmets Association, I'm afraid I won't even be able to sit in the position of the director of the food office. ”

Chinese have always been quite sensitive to whole numbers, and after nine consecutive defeats, most people will only think that it is just a nine-game losing streak.

But even if you lose one more game and make up for ten consecutive defeats, it is almost the same as a losing streak that has been going on for a long time, or a losing streak that has lasted for a long time, and even exaggerated, ten consecutive defeats are no different from twenty or thirty consecutive defeats.

Later, Jinling learned from the pain, no longer casually choose young chefs to participate in the competition, but under the suggestion of Ni Shi Group, began to take the initiative to encourage major hotels to train young chefs, and held the Jinling Youth Cup for three consecutive years, with the temptation of awarding bonuses and honors, prompting Jinling major hotels to select outstanding young chefs to participate in the competition. Yao Zheng continued.

Hearing this, Chen Mo knew that in the past three years since the suspension of Sino-foreign exchange activities, Jinling has also been actively cultivating outstanding young culinary talents.

"In the past three years, Jinling has begun to emerge excellent young chefs, Tan Yu of Jinyan, Fan Hu of Fengqilou, Wang Jue of Jade Hotel, needless to say, other people such as 'crazy copy chef' Zhang Yu, 'Hercules King' Li Hao and others, are also newly emerging young talents, and more importantly, the overall cooking level of Jinling has begun to improve in an all-round way. That's why Jinling started resuming this activity this year. ”

After Yao Zheng's words were finished, Chen Mo's brain immediately spun rapidly, and the pros and cons of all parties quickly appeared in his mind.

Before the Youth Cup, through three years of observation, Jinling has enough confidence for itself, Ren Xing should be optimistic about Tan Yu, who won the first Youth Cup and learned cooking under Hong Qi, but because Tan Yu lost to Chen Mo in this Youth Cup, Tan Yu was out of Ren Xing's heart, so that Chen Mo was able to replace Tan Yu and take over the important task of representing Jinling to participate in Chinese and foreign activities.

But on the other hand, because Chen Mo himself opened a store and just won the Youth Cup championship, the food house is very popular, if he participates in this event and loses in the Chinese and foreign competitions, in addition to being a blow to Jinling, Chen Mo's popularity is likely to plummet, which is to smash the signboard of the food house that has just been made.

Thinking about this clearly, Chen Mo felt that this was not only a pit, but also a big pit!

No wonder those four people, especially Ren Xing, had that expression.

But if you say it, it's just spilled water, and it's hard to collect it.

Seeing that the other diners looked at him with sympathetic eyes after listening to Yao Zheng's words, Chen Mo could only stubbornly say to Yao Zheng: "Yao Zheng, I know all this, but I believe that Jinling will not continue to decline like this, and this tenth Sino-foreign exchange activity will definitely end with Jinling winning!"

After Chen Mo finished speaking, although some diners immediately applauded in support, more diners still had skeptical expressions on their faces.

It's not that he has doubts about Chen Mo's dishes, but that Jinling has lost nine times in a row, so he really has no confidence.

Moreover, the other party is a young chef from a world-renowned culinary country, considering the obvious gap between Chinese and foreign cuisines, these people still don't believe that a talented young chef from a fly restaurant can beat a talented young chef who is also a foreign country on this international stage.

It's too hard to beat foreign chefs of the same age.

But Chen Mo doesn't think so.
