The lion dance team was withdrawn, and Qi Qingyan took the stage as the host.

"Good evening, everyone—"

Qi Qingyan waved to the four seats.

"Wow!"

"It's Goddess Qi who is presiding over this Liu's selection, this card needs a thumbs up!"

Offstage, the program team of the local TV station in Jinguancheng is also nervously conducting the selection and live broadcast.

After all, it is a large-scale program held every three years, and its influence spreads all over the country, and the official attaches great importance to this good opportunity to promote Shuchuan and the city's cultural scenery.

On the Internet, seafood TV live broadcast platform.

A popular live broadcast room that quickly broke one million in popularity just after it started, the title is like this:

Tang's Pearl will take you to watch the selection of Liu's Lantern Festival at the same time.

"Ah, who changed the title of my live broadcast room!" In the camera, Tang Yuqiong wrinkled her nose dissatisfied, she didn't go anywhere tonight, it was rare to sit in front of the computer, the live broadcast source was changed to page ingestion, just watching the live broadcast of Shudi TV, with relish, "Come on, let's count with me, see how many familiar faces there are in the guest seat......"

She put her hands on her cheeks and stared at the live broadcast screen, and when the hostess Qi Qingyan said thank you to the guests, the camera slowly swept over the guest seats in a timely manner.

Suddenly, Tang Yuqiong's eyes lit up.

In the front row, that young man really has the aura of a demon king.

Tang Yuqiong thought so, and glanced at the barrage that suddenly exploded with a thick layer.

"666, Summer Demon King!"

"Ah, I looked, I was deeply absorbed by the charm of the demon king, and I couldn't extricate myself from the demon king......"

"I also watched that variety show, and I can be sure that our Xia Demon King is a drama spirit!"

In the thick barrage layer, Tang Yuqiong was stunned when she saw the barrage with pictures of this drama, and then laughed, "Yes, yes, that guy is a drama spirit, and I will see this selection tonight!"

Out of intuition, Tang Yuqiong felt that Xia Yu's attendance at Liu's selection tonight was not simple.

If Xia Yu knew that in the eyes of an acquaintance, he already had the aura of a drama spirit like a schoolboy of death on his head, would he cry out loud?

"Huh!"

In the shot, Tang Yuqiong then found that the young man was facing a little girl who was half a big girl, touching her head, his face was soft, and he was telling something, and the aura fell in the camera like a big brother.

Just right, the voice of the hostess Qi Qingyan came out:

“…… The seventh contestant, Liu Ying, is invited to the stage!"

Thereupon.

The much-anticipated selection stage has one more point.

Liu Ying and the other 6 contestants stood in a row, the height and age difference were there, and the painting style was immediately wrong.

The 6 players on the stage had different looks.

Offstage, not to mention the audience watching the live broadcast, the audience was also booed.

Qi Qingyan's face did not change, and said with a smile: "This seventh contestant Liu Ying, 13 years old this year, I think that Mrs. Liu will definitely recognize her cooking skills by including such an ethnic group in the list of contestants, and I believe that such a young ethnic group can shine in such a grand event!"

The camera shifts to the guest seats.

Mrs. Liu looked at the camera, on crutches, and the corners of her mouth twitched imperceptibly.

Liu Lan was the leader among the 7 selectors, and he stared straight at the second row where the Xia Demon King was on the stage, and couldn't help but take a breath: "How did he get the old lady to arrange such a list?"

Taking advantage of the female host Qi Qingyan to introduce the 7 contestants, Xia Yu quietly gave Zhu Qing a thumbs up.

"Aunt Qing, thank you!"

In fact, Zhu Qing took over the list, patted his chest with him this morning and said that he would guarantee that it would be completed.

The corners of Zhu Qing's mouth slanted, "Hmph!"

"The thank you is too insincere. ”

Xia Yu shrugged: "Then what do you want?"

Looking left and right, the camera was not here, Zhu Qing immediately got closer, his lips almost bit Xia Yu's ear, and exhaled softly: "Win for me today!"

The smiling expression of the past is gone, and the face is solemn and serious.

"This battle can't be lost!"

She gritted her teeth, Xia Yu turned her head sideways to a pair of eyes full of emotion, she could read what Zhu Qing couldn't convey, and suddenly, a hot current called family affection moistened her heart. Nodding affirmatively, Xia Yu said in a low voice: "I won't lose!"

This time, the answer was categorical.

Zhu Qing stared at him faintly for a few seconds, then sat back.

"So-"

Qi Qingyan, who served as the master of ceremonies and hostess, after introducing the 7 contestants, held a bundle of title scrolls, stood in the middle of the stage, shook his hands with a smile, and the scrolls spread out, "Everyone read with me!"

10,000 people in the stadium, resounding with the same voice:

"Fu Yuanzi!"

Tang Yuqiong, who watched the live broadcast of the selection with millions of online viewers, was stunned for a moment and said, "What a retro topic!"

The barrage has already started to popularize science.

Fu Yuanzi is actually the old name of the Lantern Festival.

It is said that the Lantern Festival originated from the Song Dynasty at the earliest, with a variety of fruit bait as filling, covered with glutinous rice flour and rolled into a ball, cooked and eaten, sweet and delicious, full of humor.

Really speaking, the Lantern Festival is indeed a small snack loved by the people.

"Lantern Festival!"

Xia Yu knew in advance that the topic was limited to the pastry field, but he didn't know what the specific topic was.

Lantern Festival, making Lantern Festival, eating Lantern Festival, sounds beautiful.

In fact, Liu's selection as a triennial food event in the region, with the old title of "Lantern Festival" as a gimmick, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of fried cold rice, just listen to the boos on the scene, and watch the crowd who enter the venue very dissatisfied with the topic!

Qi Qingyan could only ask Ye Feizhou, who was next to the old lady, to come forward to explain.

The camera fell on this disciple of the Heavenly King, Ye Feizhou smiled calmly, and said, "This topic was agreed upon by me and a group of elders of the Liu family. ”

"About 30 years ago, that is, the first 10 Liu's selections, the same topic 'Lantern Festival' was used, and I think older audiences may still remember that selection. However, times are changing, and so is the gastronomic world, with new dishes being introduced every day......"

After a pause, Ye Feizhou continued.

"As we all know, the selection is to make the outstanding chef of the Liu family stand out and obtain the right to operate Ju Xia Lou for 3 years. ”

"In this era of rapid change, innovation is a very difficult problem faced by major restaurants and restaurants, and chefs must be creative enough to meet the growing taste changes of the people!"

"So, innovation is the real theme of tonight!"

After speaking, Ye Feizhou sat down.

The camera swept to the first row, and a group of old people, including Mrs. Liu, all nodded in agreement with Ye Feizhou's words.

The 7 players on the stage suddenly fell into thought.

On the basis of the "Lantern Festival", the innovation of dishes?

Liu Lan frowned and used her brain.

When it comes to innovation, from the perspective of dishes, it can be divided into two parts: internal and external.

Outside, it is natural to have a dish, that is, a change in appearance!

The Lantern Festival in people's common sense is white, white and fat, and if it is made into a fruit platter, it is a small innovation.

And inside, it involves the materials of the dim sum!

In the traditional Lantern Festival, peanuts, sesame seeds and other fillings are used to wrap them in glutinous rice flour.

So, can you move the knife from the dough and filling?

Liu Lan had a lot of ideas, but for a while, there was a bad feeling that she couldn't start, "How should I reform?"

The camera clearly relayed Liu Lan's sad expression on the big screen.

Ay.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu sighed.

This Liu Lan is the strongest person in his Liu family, but in the entire Chinese world, such the strongest person is only a mediocre person in the middle grade. The cooking skills, knife skills, seasoning and other skills are not top-notch.

In this regard, Liu Lan's qualifications are also mediocre, and the mediocrity in all aspects is also the reason why Liu Lan has been operating Ju downstairs for three years, but there is no improvement.

The style of the chef is the style of a restaurant.

How can a mediocre dish in all respects capture that group of young consumers with bad tastes!

The seven contestants had half an hour to think and prepare.

However, the kitchen counter, numbered 7, quickly attracted the attention of the camera and the audience.

"Huh?"

"The little girl on the 7th, this is the beginning?"

"Her name is Liu Ying, right?"
