"Didi, Didi, Didi, Didi......"

The doorbell echoes through the silence of the kitchen at night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The young man who sat stiffly on the chair, motionless like a statue, slowly opened his eyes, and his scattered gaze gradually condensed.

Click!

Twisting his neck and loosening his muscles, this time the communication of the kitchen god space is a bit long, from morning to evening, one hour outside, the fantasy space is the passage of the day, and there is a sense of trance when I come out. Xia Yu rubbed his cold face, went to the faucet of the cooking table, turned on the cold water and applied his face, so as to expel the trance from the spiritual world.

The doorbell was still ringing, Xia Yu loosened his brows and went to open the door.

A maid from the mountain villa with an anxious face bowed at the kitchen door and said, "Lord Xia Yu, Chief Dojima just called back from the arena, please rush over immediately to attend the official press conference of the event......

After a pause, the maid looked up slightly at Xia Yu's young face, and said in a low voice: "There is also the matter of the halberd, and the official also wants you to cooperate with them to hold a press conference." Half an hour ago, the two teams in the finals of Division A and B were already contested. “

Press conference?

Xia Yu couldn't help but be stunned, and finally remembered Zhu Qing and Dojima Yin's advice this morning.

He covered his face, he was almost late!

"Nakamura Thistle seems to have mentioned some excessive halberd conditions......" The maid's voice was angry.

"Oh?"

That's interesting.

When I went back to my bedroom to change my clothes, I went downstairs to see an official car waiting downstairs in the villa, and the driver was wearing the red armor of the executive committee, smiling and looking ahead.

Bang.

Closing the car door, Xia Yu sat in the back seat, the driver stepped on the accelerator, and the co-pilot, a middle-aged man, turned his head and greeted him with a gesture: "Chef Xia, hello, the contemptible person is Taku Mitsui, the secretary of the Sapporo Racing Committee." ”

"Hello, Secretary Mitsui. ”

"As for the transcript of the speech at the press conference, you can refer to it, and you don't have to copy it. ”

The middle-aged man respectfully handed over a printed document.

Xia Yu took it and flipped through it at will, this is nothing more than the script of the press conference, after all, it is a large-scale event with international attention, and the press conference always has strict rules and procedures, but these processes are not binding on the star chefs who have entered the finals, and the secretary of Mitsui has to discuss with Xia Yu carefully, which shows the gap in status.

Put down the file.

"Secretary Mitsui, let's talk about the halberd press conference. Xia Yu chuckled.

"What's going on with the thistle?"

At the mention of the halberd, cold sweat suddenly oozed from the middle-aged man's forehead, and there was anticipation and fire in his eyes.

From the perspective of the executive committee, the halberd at the international competition is completely free publicity, so the committee from the top to the bottom unanimously welcomes the halberd.

"Chef Nagi has drawn up the conditions for the halberd, you can take a look at it first. ”

Secretary Mitsui handed over another printed document.

This time, when Xia Yu flipped through it, his brows were tightly wrinkled.

"Use the victory or defeat of a halberd to decide the champion of Division A?"

There is nothing to say about other conditions, only this one makes Xia Yu secretly surprised. He raised his eyes quietly, glanced at the secretary in the passenger seat, and asked calmly: "Secretary Mitsui, what is the attitude of your racing committee?"

The middle-aged man had already taken out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and the closer he got to the press conference hotel, the more excited he became. Swallowing his saliva, Taku Mitsui observed the young chef's face, and saw that he didn't show obvious joy and anger, and knew that it was something to talk about.

With the half-zone champion as a bet on the halberd, such a big gamble, doesn't it arouse heated discussions and attention?

It's hot!

Although Taku Mitsui is an outsider and a spectator, he is full of blood at the moment.

Cough.

Sweating again. Taku Mitsui continued to wipe his sweat.

"It's not going to interfere with the halberd. Taku Mitsui said cautiously, "The halberd of you and Chef Nagiri will be jointly supervised by IGO and the gourmet association, and there will be two backups of the halberd file, which will be jointly held by the two international organizations." ”

Oh?

Xia Yu's eyes froze.

Could it be that he and Nagi thistle's halberd are also involved in the grievances and grievances between IGO and the food club? This information is not good. Xia Yu never wanted to get involved in the whirlpool of any institutional battle.

Hotel Chiyo Sapporo.

The five-star hotel is one of several officially designated locations for the event, which is filled with celebrity chefs, celebrities and dignitaries from around the world watching the event, and the press conference for the final is held in the hotel's spacious lobby.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"Chef Xia has arrived!"

"Hurry up—"

A commercial vehicle drove slowly, squatting at the door, the reporters carrying long guns and short guns instantly made a fuss like a hornet, the car was buzzed as soon as it stopped, and the security personnel took a lot of effort to open up a road with a human wall.

Click.

The moment the rear seat door was pushed open, there was a dense shutter sound, and all kinds of bright and blind flashes overlapped.

When the teenager got out of the car, he couldn't help but be dazzled by the bright light and raised his hand to block it.

"Chef Xia, please talk about the halberd in three days!"

"Chef Nagiri has submitted an application form to the tournament official, can you tell us about the conditions agreed by both parties......

There was a commotion in the ears.

A head of the security department, standing in front of the teenager, Ying Rui looked around at the surging group of reporters.

"Chef Xia, come with me—"

The person in charge said that Xia Yu pursed his lips and followed, ignoring any reporters.

I finally entered the hotel lobby, where there was a regular press booth, and chairs were neatly arranged in front of the stage, full of people.

Glancing at the seats, there is also the second floor of the lobby, the crowd is black and oppressive, and the originally spacious space actually has a dull and oppressive feeling.

On the stage, the four participating teams in the A and B divisions are all in place, and the Yuanyue team is inferior to Xia Yu.

The moment Xia Yu took the stage, the audience was watching.

"Whew, whew, Chef Xia is finally not late!"

Chiyo Aichi was the host of the press conference, and she patted her chest and sweated with relief, making a joke, and a low laugh suddenly rang out in the lobby.

It was true that I was not late, and the news conference would start at 8 p.m. sharp, and it would be around 7:50 p.m.

Xia Yu came to the stage and whispered with Zhu Qing, Dojima Gin, and Caiba Ichiro for the conditions of the halberd, and soon the executive chairman of the tournament committee arrived, a man in his fifties with black and white hair.

The press conference followed the process, with the chairman giving an opening speech, followed by a detailed introduction by Chiyo Aichi to introduce the four teams that made it to the finals.

After half an hour, it was finally time for the halberd part.

"Ahem!"

The executive chairman opened his mouth and said, "We have communicated with Chef Nagiri and Chef Natsu, and on the premise of obtaining the clear opinions of the contestants, the competition committee has decided——"

"Halberd, established!"

Wow!

When the official announcement came out, the call suddenly rang out from the hotel, resounding in the night sky of Sapporo. At the same time, I am afraid that many viewers who watched the live news cheered excitedly.

"Two halberd eaters, please!"

Hearing this, Xia Yu and Nagi cut thistle came out of the queue and stood in front of the camera generously.

"I have invited the IGO and the supervisor of the food club organization!"

Thus, representatives of international gastronomic institutions were presented.

The overseer of IGO is Masato Kamihara, and in terms of the food party, it is a seductive woman in a red dress.

"The woman, named Catherine, is the overseer personally appointed by the head of the gourmet party. Masato Kamihara smiled and applauded, stepped by Xia Yu's side, and whispered to him.

Xia Yu's heart sank.

"Don't worry, I've also been instructed by the president. Masato Kamihara blinked, "We're just monitoring each other to make sure they don't stealthily tamper with their hands and feet." You can rest assured that you will fight the thistle!"

The four finalists who took the stage today, without the IGO Neon team, were clearly eliminated.

Masato Kamihara didn't see much of the loss of defeat, and he was in good spirits in the camera.

……

The halberd is officially announced, but the conditions of the halberd are the focus of greater attention.

At the end of the brief press conference, there was a heated discussion online and offline, and the tense atmosphere of the halberd spread to many places.

Backstage, a war about the conditions of the halberd has just begun.

"Can't agree!"

The soundproof room of the far moon, Roland Chapelle said in a deep voice.

Nagi Zong Wei hugged his arms and chimed in: "Judging from the conditions of this halberd, I know that they are afraid, they are not sure of defeating our team, so they take a risk, pinning their hopes on a halberd and betting on the champion of the half region!"

"This gamble is crazy!" he said word for word.

Xia Yu also thought calmly.

A preliminary draft of the halberd document was spread out on the table in front of him.

Item 1:

The battle of the halberd, Party A's Far Moon, Party B's Food Society Research Institute.

1. Party B hopes that the overall champion of Division A will be subject to the victory of the halberd, and the winner of the halberd will bring victory to the team.

2. Party B's halberd player Nagi Cutting Thistle will take out 5% of the equity of Yuanyue Group as a bet supplement.

3. Party B hopes that Party A's halberd player will come up with additional taboo ingredients as a bet supplement.

Three conditions, plain and clear.

The far-moon condition column is empty, and the team is deadlocked on the first condition, and it is difficult to reach a consensus.

"5% equity in Yuanyue?"

Xia Yu said secretly: "Where did Nagi cut thistle get the Yuanyue equity, was it deprived from the group of giants on the board of directors?"

Since the other party dares to write it clearly, he is not afraid of default.

This condition is exciting!

At least Xia Yu was tempted.

Don't underestimate the 5% of the dry shares, as far as he knows, the 'Far Moon Kingdom' except for the Nagi Cutting Lord's family who controls more than 40% of the equity, the remaining equity is divided by the ten giants on the board of directors, and some giants hold nearly 10% of the equity, such as Shigeru Kawakami, Kikuchi Musashi, but most of the giants have about 5% of the equity on hand.

There is no doubt that the halberd won 5% of the equity of the 'Far Moon Kingdom', and Xia Yu immediately became one of the members of the board of directors of the Far Moon.

Then, the third bet condition, is playful.

"They're beating me up on the idea?"

A chill ran down Xia Yu's back, and there was anger in his heart.

From this subtle but non-negligible condition, it is enough to see the greed of the research faction of the 'Gourmet Society'.

openly used forbidden ingredients in international competitions, and he was really targeted!

Whether it's the 'meat of gems' or the mysterious egg liquid, I'm afraid it will make the group of crazy researchers of the 'Gourmet Society' crazy.

Far Moon's deliberations are at an impasse.

But it is said that in Tokyo, Nagi is the house.

Late at night.

An old man in a kimono sat cross-legged on the edge of his pond, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and a silk thread floated into the pond. The old man's eyes seemed to be open and closed, and from time to time he glanced at the mobile phone placed on the low table next to him, obviously waiting for a call.

"Didi......"

Finally, the silence was broken, and the old man answered with a smile.

"Xia Qing, you really called. ”

"Haha, Senzaemon, are you old guy fishing with Jiang Taigong?"

"Each other, each other. ”

"No, Senzaemon, you should be more anxious, whether your granddaughter can be saved depends on this time, otherwise she has a knot in her heart and a shadow, and it will be difficult for her to grow into a towering tree in the future of your Nagi family. ”

Nagi Sen Saemon smiled faintly and retorted: "Your Xia clan also needs other towering trees, you can't make a forest alone!"

"Well, then we're going to have a good talk......"
