"The second round of auditions for this year's Chinese New Year's Day hunt has come to an end, and the list of three hundred and two young heroes is as follows......"

Two days later, in the evening news, the female announcer said so.

The list slowly unfolded, it was the picture effect of an ancient scroll, and Xia Yu's name was still the first in the first row, which was very eye-catching.

At the same time, the online and offline discussions about this round of auditions have not only shown no signs of stopping fire in the past two days, but have intensified. From the hot topics on Weibo to the more private circle of friends, there are passers-by A, B, C, D who express their opinions.

After a lapse of five years, the New Year's Day will hunt once again with a full score of classic works, and the young celebrity chef who single-handedly created classics has certainly attracted much attention.

The media hype, coupled with the CCTV food station recently released a wave of wonderful halberd videos of the Sapporo event, those classic masterpieces born in the hands of Xia Yu, such as "Cow, Pig and Bird Blood Sausage" with a stunning debut at the beginning, such as "Xia's Seven Kingdoms Unified Fried Noodles" by Li Han, have all become popular search terms on the Internet.

There is no neon "Taste Weekly" in the Chinese world, but there are other food channels that are not inferior in influence, CCTV Food Channel is one, and there are self-media such as "Classic Witness" founded by Mu Xiaoyue, these well-known media naturally have full records of Xia Yu's cooking interpretation, so the relevant record web pages even often have server paralysis, which shows how terrible the scale of the influx of people is.

Of course.

Xia Yu's personal social platform has undoubtedly become the focus of this wave of heat. His latest Weibo and Twitter photos were taken when he just returned to China, and the framing was very obscure, taking a picture of the price poster of the domestic airport restaurant, and attached a shocked expression of sweating.

The original thousands of replies have soared in the past few days, and the popularity can make first-line stars embarrassed.

……

"Hey!"

As the center of public opinion, Xia Yu was in Zhao's Winery, closed for several days, and simply became an otaku.

In the evening, Zhu Qing stood outside the bedroom, "There are guests, you can't see it, squeak me!"

"Who?"

There was a lazy voice in the room.

"A big beauty!" Zhu Qing had a playful smile on his face, "The head of the Yunmengze Chef Alliance!"

Before Xia Yu could answer, the woman on Zhu Qing's side hurriedly waved her hand, with a hint of shame on her pretty face, "Teacher Zhu, you are too exalted to me, there are many female chefs in the Yunmengze Alliance who are better than me." ”

She bit her lip and glanced at the door that was still closed, full of regret in her heart, "Since Chef Xia is inconvenient, then I will leave first." ”

The sound fell, and there was a click, and the door actually opened.

"Oh, it's you!"

The young man, who was dressed quite neatly, rubbed his eyes and stepped out, as if he had just woken up.

Xia Yu glanced at the woman a few times, and her eyes were slightly clear.

The female judges obviously dressed up deliberately, with light makeup on the pink cheeks, and a set of women's small suits to set off the slender figure, especially the pair of long legs with the pants tightened, the lines are perfect enough, and people can't help but appreciate it.

Fan Jiaorou was pleasantly surprised, but she came here on business, so she respectfully handed out an envelope first, "This is the topic of the third round of competition, Chef Xia, you can take a look." In addition, the third round of auditions will start in three days, and the venue will be changed, and the three matches will be held on the same day and at the same venue, and Chef Xia will be ranked as the No. 1 ...... of the first game."

There is nothing to complain about the numbering and appearance order, Xia Yu took the envelope indifferently, but did not tear it, and nodded to Fan Jiaorou, "I'm sorry for you." ”

"One more thing. ”

Fan Jiaorou plucked up her courage and bit her rosy lip slightly, "I have great admiration for your spice skills, in this field, you are my senior, so I have a reluctant request-"

"Reluctantly invited?" Xia Yu raised his hand, "Stop!"

"If it's a recipe for a spice, or a secret for a spice, I'm being rude. ”

It's one thing to be beautiful and delicious, Xia Yu didn't be generous, and casually gave others his own recipe.

Moreover, the knowledge about fantasy spices, forbidden spices, is something that money cannot buy and is priceless.

"No, it's not!"

There was a hint of embarrassment between her eyebrows, Fan Jiaorou hesitated, and took out a neatly folded white note from her coat pocket, Xia Yu noticed that her fingers trembled slightly, "That's it, I have encountered a problem in the field of spices, there is a problem with a new formula, but with my current level, I don't know what the problem is." Please be sure to advise on the maze!"

"Oh-"

Only then did Xia Yu relax his vigilance and stretched out his hand, "Show me." ”

Unfold the white note, on which are the small characters of Juanxiu's plum blossoms, and the name and dosage of spices are clearly written.

It's just that after a few glances, Xia Yu returned the note, "New formula?"

He smiled and closed the door without breaking the lie.

Zhu Qing sent away Fan Jiaorou, who was stunned, pushed open his door and entered the room, saw Xia Yu in front of the desk, just put down the pen and frowned and said to himself: "I didn't expect to encounter a strange recipe just after returning to China." Tempeh, garlic, green onion, perilla, gardenia, mint, burdock, almond, a total of 8 kinds of materials, not complicated, tempeh can adjust the five flavors, and the dosage is the most, is the leader in this recipe, right?

Close your eyes and open them again after a few seconds.

"I don't understand!"

This time, Xia Yu's tone couldn't help but be surprised.

"You can't even read it, it must be made up. Zhu Qing interjected, and glanced at the note with handwriting on the table a few times, looking uninterested. She was not interested in Xia Yu's secret memorization of other people's formulas, so she didn't ask.

Outside Zhao's Winery.

Inside a silver-white sedan.

Bang!

As soon as Fan Jiaorou got into the car, she slapped the steering wheel fiercely, and said with annoyance: "Sure enough, he saw it, I should make it clear that there can be nothing to hide, after all, I am asking others to help restore Fan's ancient formula." ”

In fact, Fan Jiaorou has a reason to be cautious, she still remembers that her grandmother, who is also a celebrity chef in the Hunan family, gave her an ancient recipe orally when she was drangling on the sickbed in her hometown a few years ago.

Of course, the formula is flawed, not perfect, and needs to be corrected by Fan's descendants. And this is also something that her grandmother's career as a chef regrets.

"That's it!" Fan Jiaorou stepped on the accelerator.

"That's it!"

In the bedroom, Xia Yu's frowning brows loosened suddenly, and he crumpled the paper on the table and threw it into the trash, "It may really be a recipe for graffiti, it has no structure, so don't take it seriously!"

In the past two days, he has been studying the "Jade Dragon Cauldron" that has been purified, and the harvest is almost nothing, and Xia Yu always feels that there is some stuffiness in his chest.

"Hey!"

Turn your head to view your dashboard.

The cooking level has been increased from lv62 to lv65, and the 3 talent points obtained for free are all added to the kitchen heart, so the kitchen heart upgrade progress reaches 94/100, and it seems that it is about to reach the great consummation, but this is a step that has been delayed.

When Xia Yu thought of this, he was even more depressed, "System, ask for a task!"

"I have returned to China to this day, and the mission has not been triggered!"

"I want talent!"

The system's response was very crisp, with a "ding" prompt.
