Chapter 28: Vegetable King Contest (1)

The sun rises in the east, and the sky is clear.

The summit has reached the second day, and according to the arrangement, the highlight of the summit will be held: the Caiwang Competition.

The so-called "Vegetable King Competition" is one of the most important links in the catering summit. Through the form of competition, the exhibitors' vegetables, the dishes of each catering hotel and the chef's cooking skills are displayed and competed.

The Caiwang Competition is divided into two stages: the first stage focuses on the display of vegetables of each exhibitor, and intuitively evaluates the "quality" of each vegetable.

In the second stage, the participating catering and hotel enterprises will send their own chefs to select the vegetables of each vegetable merchant to make dishes, for food experts and public judges to taste and appreciate, and finally select the best catering enterprises of this summit, and determine three vegetables as the king of vegetables this year, and vegetable exhibitors will also be awarded the title of king of vegetables.

Jiang Yufan's Lanyu Farm focuses on vegetable planting and sales, so it attaches great importance to this "Vegetable King Competition".

Early in the morning, Jiang Yufan and the staff of Lanyu Farm came to the exhibition site with Du Yuesheng of Ning'an Hotel to make layout plans.

After a short time, other vegetable merchants, catering and hotel enterprises and catering enthusiasts also entered the venue one after another, and the exhibition scene suddenly became lively.

Jiang Yufan brought three kinds of vegetables carefully selected from the farm to participate in the competition. The three vegetables are: Chinese cabbage, cucumber, and radish.

There is no doubt about choosing cabbage, because it was this cabbage that brought Jiang Yufan the first pot of gold in his life and allowed him to start a new life.

Cucumbers and radishes are carefully cultivated by the farm, and these two vegetables are also the most wonderful flavors in Jiang Yufan's childhood memories.

In the center of the large exhibition hall was a circular booth, and directly behind the booth was a huge electronic display screen.

Around the booth from the inside to the outside is a circle of leather seats, because of the large number of participants, although the competition organizers set up a full ten rows of seats, but the scene is still full, and even behind the last row of seats there is a large circle of spectators.

The mainstream media of major industries also arrived at the scene, selected the best position, set up cameras and broadcast equipment, and prepared to deliver the grand occasion of the game in time.

Eight booths were set up on the circular booth, which were placed with vegetable exhibits brought by eight vegetable exhibitors, and representatives of each exhibitor sat behind the booth.

Under the first row of the booth, there were 12 vegetable catering experts and food judges.

At this moment, Jiang Yufan was sitting calmly behind the sixth booth on the booth, silently waiting for the game to start.

All exhibitors, experts and public judges were in place, and the doors of the exhibition hall were closed.

Accompanied by dazzling lights and melodious music, a male host with a mushroom head walked up to the booth and came to the center of the booth.

"Dear audience and friends in front of the TV, good morning! Welcome to the competition site of the 2nd Handong Caiwang Competition, I am your old friend Sendi!" said excitedly with a hoarse voice.

Looking at the supporter next to him who had a strange shape and voice, Jiang Yufan couldn't help but laugh. Thinking that such an important game and arranging such a teasing host are probably to relieve the tense atmosphere on the scene!

"Next, I would like to invite Ms. Xue Chunyan, chairman of the Handong Vegetable Catering Association and a food expert, to announce the start of the competition!" said Mushroom Head, as he quickly walked to the edge of the booth and handed the microphone to a slightly fat middle-aged lady in the middle of the first row of seats under the stage.

Xue Chunyan took the microphone, turned around and gently struck at the surrounding audience, with a smile on her face.

"Hello friends, I am Xue Chunyan! I am very happy to serve as the chief judge of the Handong Cuisine King Competition again. Now I announce the official start of this year's Caiwang Competition!" Xue Chunyan just finished speaking, and the entire exhibition hall immediately applauded like thunder, and there was a commotion.

"Okay, friends, please be quiet for a while! We now have to invite the eight vegetable exhibitors who participated in this competition to introduce their vegetables to the judges and the audience. ”

The mushroom-headed host waved his hands up and down a few times, signaling the scene to be quiet.

"First of all, I would like to invite Mr. Ouyang Made, the winner of the first Caiwang Competition in Handong last year and the founder of Jumei Vegetable Village, to introduce us to the vegetable exhibits he brought. ”

After the host finished speaking, everyone's eyes looked at the first booth on the right side of the booth. Sitting behind this booth is Ouyang Made, the owner of Jumei Vegetable Farm, the champion of last year's Caiwang Competition---.

Ouyang Made's Jumei Vegetable Village is located in the low mountain area on the outskirts of Handong City, and the natural environment is quite good.

Although the vegetables produced by Jumei Vegetable Village are not as high quality as the vegetables grown by Jiang Yufan on the improved land, Ouyang Made is very good at propaganda and relationship, so the vegetables of Jumei Vegetable Village have long occupied the high-end vegetable catering market in Handong.

Last year, Ouyang Made privately bribed Xue Chunyan and other judges through a lot of money, so that Jumei Vegetable Village won the title of Caiwang Base.

With this golden signboard, Ouyang Made quickly increased the price of vegetables, and the average price of vegetables reached three or four thousand per catty. Through packaging and marketing, let their vegetables be sold at home and abroad, and take the opportunity to make money.

Therefore, if Ouyang Made wants to continue to make money, he must win the championship again in this year's Caiwang Competition.

A month before the start of the competition, Ouyang Made had already begun to move around, trying his best to get the list of judges for this year's Caiwang Competition, and tried his best to envelop him, especially for Xue Chunyan, the chief judge of this competition.

Just when Jiang Yufan and the rest of the vegetable merchants were still carefully preparing for the battle, Ouyang Made seemed to have already made up his mind and had the chance to win.

Hearing that the host asked him to introduce the exhibited vegetables of the vegetable village, Ouyang Made glanced at Xue Chunyan and the other judges with an evil face, and then glanced at the vegetable exhibitors next to him with contempt, and slowly stood up.

"Friends, I am Ouyang Made of Handong Jumei Vegetable Village. It is no accident that our Jumei Vegetable Village was able to win the title of Caiwang Base last year..."

"It's inevitable!" Ouyang Made deliberately cleared his throat, as if he was about to start one of his successful speeches.

"Our Jumei Vegetable Village is located in Langu Town, a suburb of Handong City. Langu Town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a beautiful natural environment, and it is the most suitable place for plants to grow in the entire Handong......" Ouyang Made boasted indiscriminately for a while, and Jiang Yufan and the others dozed off when they heard it.

"This time, we have selected three kinds of vegetables to participate in the competition: green ecological cabbage, wild high-quality radish and Langu special cucumber!"

Jiang Yufan was dozing off, and when he heard the vegetables on display reported by Ouyang Made, he was slightly stunned: it was exactly the same as the type of vegetables he was competing in!

Ouyang Made proudly picked up his vegetables and showed them to everyone at the scene.

On the huge display screen, the appearance of vegetables from all angles and Ouyang Made's greedy and sinister smile were clearly displayed......
