Ma Tianyao and the others looked up, and the young man had already arrived, and pointed to the sign on his chest. Vertex X23US

"Hello, my name is Feng Lei, I am a volunteer of this Chinese cooking competition, you are also here for the competition, right?"

"Huh, how do you know we're here to compete?"

Song Xing asked suspiciously, and the man smiled embarrassedly and pointed to the luggage under their feet.

"Hehe, usually no one will bring luggage here, by the way, which province are you on the team?"

As he asked, he carried a suitcase to help, and Ma Tianyao hurriedly thanked him.

"Thank you, we are from Qinxi Province, I'm sorry for you. ”

"Hehe, don't bother, we're volunteers, that's all as it should be. ”

Ma Tianyao smiled and nodded, looked at the driver Xiao Huang next to him, and said in his heart, Isn't the restaurant association gone?

But then, the enthusiastic Feng Lei chatted while walking, and told her the answer to this question.

It turns out that although the catering association is now in decline, these first-class and super-chefs do not take the catering association seriously, but for some people and some units, the signboard of the catering association is still an unattainable dream and a shortcut to get rich.

For example, Feng Lei's Tianyun Culinary Vocational and Technical College in Tianyun City!

Every year, when recruiting students, the school will write in the most conspicuous places of various advertisements: 'Teacher XX of this school, senior member of the Huaxia Catering Association, director of the school, and executive director of the Huaxia Catering Association'.

Outsiders know the gold content of these things, most of them will think wow, this school must be amazing, some of them checked on the Internet, and learned that the catering association is really the highest existence in the Chinese catering industry, and they feel that this school is not like a cow, so they flocked to register.

In fact, it is very simple to join the restaurant association, especially after the decline of the restaurant association in recent years, you only need to pay enough membership fees every year, and have worked in the chef industry for three years, and get a certain chef level, you can join.

To put it bluntly, as long as you're not a rookie chef just starting out in the industry, you can get in for a little money.

As for these culinary technical schools, enrollment still needs to rely on this big Buddha, so in order to be promoted, they try their best to pat themselves on the back.

The maintenance, cleaning, and security costs of the headquarters building of the catering association were all rushed by these schools, and this time I heard that the invitation to hold a Chinese cooking competition here was even crazier.

Feng Lei smiled half-complainingly and half-seriously.

"Hehe, it's not easy to come here as a volunteer, our school is the largest cooking school in Tianyun City, but there are a total of 10 places, more than 10,000 people grab ten places! ”

"This ...... It's just a volunteer, and I don't even have money to work, so why do I have to grab such a place?"

Ma Tianyao didn't understand very much, and asked questions that others were also very concerned about.

Feng Lei carried his luggage into the door, coughed, shook the sign on his chest, and smiled at the person who registered.

"Teacher Liu, trouble, this batch is a team from Qinxi Province. ”

A middle-aged woman in the concierge sighed while snorting melon seeds, paused the small video of the TV series playing in front of the table, and then handed the notebook and pen on the table out of the small window.

He shouted in passing.

"Register your name and ID card, by the way, there are only two rooms, 303 and 304, and you can get the key yourself after registration. ”

Handing out the notebook and pen, the middle-aged woman clicked on the phone screen again, and then went to watch the TV series.

Feng Lei shrugged at Ma Tianyao and pushed the pen and notebook in front of them.

Ma Tianyao looked at it, and there were seven or eight provincial teams registered in the book, but she didn't mix in this kind of circle, so she didn't know her at all.

looked at everyone at the moment and asked Feng Lei again.

"By the way, how many people can live in this room?"

"Oh, I can live four in one room, but it's a bunk bunk ......"

"You can only live four?"

She frowned, there were more women who came this time, she, Shi Xiaoxiao, Xiao Fang, Ling Yun, and Qi Cuicui and Mei Yunna.

The bald uncle smiled and whispered.

"Tianyao, don't worry about us, I just opened a hotel next to here, and we will stay in a hotel for a while. ”

"Well, I can't help it. ”

Ma Tianyao nodded helplessly, and then began to register everyone's identity information in turn.

After the registration was over, Feng Lei handed over the notebook and pen, and after taking the room keys for 303 and 304, he continued to talk about the topic he talked about before.

"Actually...... If the school grabs the place, when the school enrolls students next year, the enrollment advertisement can be written in a grand manner, "The teachers and students of this school have participated in the Chinese cooking competition" and the like......"

"I'll ...... Can you still play like this?"

Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in disbelief, and Feng Lei nodded with a wry smile.

"Hehe, yes. But isn't this the case in this society now, collecting five blessings is not called collecting five blessings, but participating in a project of 500 million yuan. There are also those big stars, who go abroad to rub the red carpet, and after they are done, they can tell others that they are invited to participate......"

The building was very broken, and the stairs were still made of the same hardwood planks, crunching when stepped on.

Because of disrepair, there are broken cracks on some stairs, which makes people feel a little unreliable when they step on it, and the walls are repainted white, and I don't know how many times they have been brushed, it looks like a woman who has rubbed too much powder, and she will fall white ash when she touches it.

Feng Lei walked up the steps while struggling to carry the suitcase, wiped his sweat and said helplessly and excitedly.

"We're still students, but most of us will become chefs in the future, so who wouldn't want to see the best chefs in the country come together and try their skills. It's like the ancient martial arts alliance battle, although we are just nobodies, but it is also very beneficial for us to open our eyes and see the top chefs cooking up close.

And if you're lucky...... If you are valued by a chef who comes from these competitions, you can go directly to the big hotel for an internship in the future. If you are taken in by a certain chef to accept an apprentice, it will be a real step to the sky. That's why this place is so precious to us. ”

After listening to his explanation, everyone sighed.

Ling Yun, in particular, was deeply moved by this.

She has been involved in the chef industry for a long time, if she hadn't met Ma Tianyao, if she hadn't participated in "The King of Chefs" and won a good ranking, she would have only been a chef in some small restaurants for the rest of her life.

People's success is inseparable from hard work, but it is even more inseparable from opportunities!

So Feng Lei and these people are not so much here to be volunteers, but to try their luck.
