New York night, 7:40 p.m.

Ang Lee followed behind Han Jijiang, the representative of the food group, and took the elevator to the hall of the gourmet summit before the global food competition.

At this moment, when Li An and the others came to the banquet hall, some people had already arrived. Coming to the banquet hall, Li Ang glanced left and right, and said that the organizer of this global food competition is really generous, the entire banquet hall is more than 300 square meters, and the end is luxurious, magnificent, and full of food.

Moreover, there are all kinds of lamps and lanterns on the top beam of the hall, and some oil paintings are also hung on the surrounding walls, which has a unique artistic atmosphere in Europe and the United States.

Since Ang Lee is a newcomer to the banquet, he participated in the global food competition for the first time, and he didn't know much about this banquet. Therefore, he honestly followed behind Han Jijiang and his party, while listening to the big brother He Guozhang introduce tonight's banquet, while observing the decoration of this banquet left and right, and other gourmets from all over the world.

Along the way, after Ang Lee's careful observation, Ang Lee found that their Chinese team seemed to be very unpopular, except for a few representatives of gourmets from a few countries, few representatives of gourmets from other countries were willing to greet them or talk.

And more gourmets looked at Ang Lee, and their eyes were also afraid that they would not be able to dodge, and there was a little contempt and disdain, as if it would be embarrassing to say a word to Ang Lee and their team to their group of foreign gourmets.

After Ang Lee's observation, what kind of status their Chinese gourmets have in the world, Ang Lee almost has some independent understanding in his heart.

In this regard, although Ang Lee felt a little awkward, he didn't take it to heart. Because it is useless to say more, facts speak louder than words, and since he has decided to win this global food competition, he will definitely work hard, and as for what others think of him now, he doesn't have much emotion.

After all, it is impossible for him to control the eyes of others, and let these foreign gourmets feel good about themselves for a few days, and they will always be "surprised" later!

And just when Li An looked at the contemptuous eyes of the group of gourmets around him, like looking at clowns, he was lonely and extremely lonely in his heart, and the voice in front of Li An and them sounded, and there were several contemptuous laughter.

"Aren't these Chinese gourmets? Are you embarrassed to come to this dinner? If it were you, I wouldn't have the face to come to this dinner tonight. You Chinese people are thick-skinned! How many years have you been ranked at the bottom of the rankings? And you still have the face to show off everywhere? If we change the people of our big island country, we can't afford to lose this person!"

In front of them, Han Jijiang and the others were three or four yellow-skinned gourmets, and listening to the tone of those words, they were the gourmets of the island country.

As the last of Han Jijiang's small team, Li An heard the person in front of him speak, and subconsciously looked up, and saw four middle-aged island people, with a pinch of mustache under their noses, stopping in front of Li An and them, looking very arrogant and domineering, looking at the momentum on their faces, it was a little more prosperous than the gourmands of the stick country that Li An and they met at noon today!

"These four people are all gourmets from the island country, and the island country and the stick country are one of the judging countries of the jury of the global food competition, and the five global food juries are formed by the foodie associations of the United States, France, and Canada, which can be seen in the global food competition. He Guozhang reminded Li Andao on the side.

Regarding the five judges of the Global Food Competition, Ang Lee has also heard He Guozhang and Wang Shishi say it several times. In other words, the preliminary, semi-final, top 10 and finals of the annual Global Gastronomy Competition are evaluated and reviewed by the judges of these five major gastronomic juries to determine whether each gourmet's cooking skills in the participating countries can pass the test and advance to the following competitions.

The judges of these five juries are supposed to be fair and impartial in their treatment of other teams and do not abuse their private rights. However, once it is the turn of these judges to the gourmets of Huaguo, these gourmets from other countries always make all kinds of difficulties and give bad reviews, which is why the gourmets who represent Huaguo are not bad at cooking, but they never win the championship of the competition.

These five judges of the competition from various countries are all working together to target their Chinese gourmets, and it would be strange if they could win the overall championship of the competition!

"These islanders are too arrogant!" Li An said with a frown as he looked at the islanders who were blocking their way and had arrogant faces.

"Leave them alone, they have long occupied one of the five places on the food jury by relying on their own country, and the judges and teachers in every food competition have people from their country, and they dare to be so arrogant in these island countries. We can't afford to mess with these people for the time being. So, don't be impulsive, let's hide first!" He Guozhang was afraid that Li An would be young and vigorous, so he hurriedly warned Li An in his ear.

"Whether our delegation is here or not to attend this dinner is none of the business of your island country's gourmets, and I don't have to worry about you! Please get out of the way!" Han Jijiang said without humility or arrogance.

In fact, in the face of such a strong island country gourmets, it is very good that Han Jijiang can maintain such a humble and arrogant attitude!

"Hehe! I'm doing this for your own good, you better be obedient and obedient, go back! Don't participate in this global food competition! Anyway, it's all at the bottom, and it doesn't matter if you don't participate!" The island man who led the way said loudly and deliberately, looking like he was trying to deliberately let everyone else at the banquet hear him.

Sure enough, the islanders who took the lead in blocking Li Ang and their way, as soon as these words were spoken, many gourmets around heard this sound, some put down the food in their hands, and some stopped talking with friends, and they all more or less stopped what they were doing, and looked at Li An and them, with a playful smile in their eyes!

The vast majority of gourmets present know that Huaguo is at the bottom of the annual food competition, and some people also know the ******** between Huaguo and the island country. Therefore, they are very happy to see this contradiction, this farce.

And when he saw that most of the eyes at the banquet were focused on them, Han Jijiang also knew that he had no face to stalemate with the islanders. If the people of the island country are dogs, they can be shameless, but they still need to be faced. Therefore, Han Jijiang ignored Ichiro Tano and walked straight past the table next to them!

The other gourmets behind Han Jijiang also knew that if things got bigger and bigger, it would only be more unfavorable to them. Therefore, the people behind Han Jijiang also followed behind Han Jijiang, bypassing the malicious obstruction of this group of island gourmets who deceived people too much.

Li An followed behind Han Jijiang, with He Guozhang, He Guozhang walked in front of Li An, Li An looked at the island people who blocked the way in front of him, he touched his nose, and then followed behind He Guozhang, and also took a detour.

Because, even Ang Lee knows that it is not a wise decision to get involved with this group of island gourmets who are deliberately looking for trouble. Moreover, looking at these gourmets of island countries, they definitely deliberately want to provoke their anger and make them ugly, so they can't let these island people succeed as they wish.

Seeing that Li An and they were not fooled, Ichiro Tano, a gourmand from the island country who took the lead in coming to Li An for their trouble, first frowned, and then, standing there, mocked:

"You Chinese people are all a bunch of cowards! You cowards, you don't dare to walk in front of us! Haha!"

However, although the islanders are arrogant, Han Jijiang is also an old man, he is not angry at all, and he does not pay attention to this group of bad islanders, they walk forward with their backs to these islanders, looking for a place and an empty table to settle in.

And behind Han Jijiang, Ichiro Tano was like a fool, "hahaha" sneered at Han Jijiang a few times, but found that the other party didn't care at all, he himself stood there and smirked, being watched by so many people, his face was a little embarrassed.

Ignoring the group of island people who wanted to make things bad, Han Jijiang took Li An and his party to a large empty round table, on which were placed all kinds of wine and food, melons and fruit snacks for people to taste.

After a group of people stood here, Han Jijiang looked at the crowd, picked up a banana casually, and said while eating: "Let's move around this table, everyone can eat whatever they like, Lao He, don't you like to drink wine?

Then, Han Jijiang poured a glass of wine for He Guozhang, the eldest in the group, and the others held a goblet by themselves, filled it for themselves, and drank it together.

When a glass of wine was down, Han Jijiang began to speak again, and this time the words were mainly for Li An.

"The prestige of our country in this kind of gathering is not very high, so we don't have to go too far, just play nearby, just be a free buffet, I believe that foodies from other countries will not like to chat with us." Come, Xiao Li, try this dim sum, this is a special dessert for the Global Food Competition, and you can't eat it outside. ”

Han Jijiang picked up a piece of dessert in the same shape as a moon cake, handed it to Li An, and motioned for Li An to try it.

Ang Lee took it and tasted it, it did taste good. However, this dessert is just good in Ang Lee's eyes, and if it really needs to be called delicious, it is still too bad.

Because Ang Lee himself also has some snacks, breakfast and other things that have never been sold, he believes that as long as he takes out the snacks he has mastered, it will definitely be as attractive to customers as the food in his store, and even trigger a wave of snack food trends.

This self-confidence, Ang Lee still has.

"How is it? This special dim sum tastes good, right?" Han Jijiang asked Li An with a smile.

Li An nodded, because they were all his own people and did not hide them, and said directly and generously: "It's okay, but it's not as delicious as Huaguo's snacks, and it's better than nothing." ”

When Li An said this, several people around him thought that he was talking big, and the patriotic plot was like this, and they didn't debunk him. As chefs and famous gourmets in China, how can they not know the snacks of their own country, although they are also very good. But at most, it is to follow the dim sum equally, far from being as good as Ang Lee said.

Regarding Han Jijiang's disbelief, Li An didn't want to say anything, anyway, let it be, and when they witnessed it with their own eyes, they would naturally believe it.

Ang Lee and his entourage got together, as usual, chatting casually, chatting about domestic affairs, things of various cuisines, and the conjecture of the champion of this global food competition, etc. While talking to Han Jijiang and He Guozhang, Li An was also paying attention to the changes in the surrounding banquet halls.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and there were more and more people coming to the banquet hall, there were blacks, whites, and Asians, it looked like what Wang Shishi had said before he came, and there were many participating countries in the global food competition, and it seemed that there were teams from almost 20 countries.

As the time approached 8 o'clock, on the podium in front of the banquet, the person in charge of the organizer of the dinner also had a relevant conversation, which was nothing more than those who were very welcome to participate in the Global Food Competition, and it was a pleasure to meet everyone, and to meet the food and cooking skills brought by everyone in the later competitions.

This kind of speech is a little boring, but fortunately, the foreigners' humor cells in this speech are not bad, and they make two jokes from time to time, and the representatives of various countries at the banquet are relatively happy to listen to this speech.

After the presentation, there was free time for the audience, and gourmets from all over the world were free to walk around and chat as they did before the banquet began.

After the speech, Han Jijiang also introduced Ang Lee to meet several gourmets who get along well with Chinese gourmets, and this group of people are elites in the food industry from all over the world, and they chatted very happily.

Ang Lee also got to know some foreign chefs, the gourmets of these countries are the same as China, they are also relatively low ranked, and are often ridiculed by island people and sticks, and those people don't seem to be able to reflect the value of their existence if they don't mock other people.

However, during the conversation, Ang Lee found that although these people don't like sticks and don't like island people, these gourmets are still a little afraid of their cooking skills.

Seeing this, Li Anxin still paid a little attention to the cuisine of the island country and the stick country, and decided to export the relevant information of the island country and the stick country food before the game.
