Chapter 642: Invite!
When Li An heard the old man's words, he couldn't help but have a hint of surprise on his face!
Wang Shishi, president of the Food Association, who is known as the first gourmand in China and the promoter of Shandong cuisine?
Li An immediately thought of some rumors about Wang Shishi in his heart, and a trace of respect couldn't help but appear on his face!
"Ang Lee has seen Elder Time!" Ang Lee said with respect on his face.
The president of the gastronomic association in front of him can be described as a grandmaster of the gastronomic world, with a remarkable position, and has played a role in carrying forward the past and the future in many cuisines. Ang Lee didn't know the name of Wang Shishi when he was a star, but as he took root and became famous in the food industry for more than half a month, he has heard many people talk about the famous current president of the Food Association!
And at this time, seeing that Li An knew his name, Wang Shishi smiled slightly, so that he could save unnecessary explanations and troubles.
Wang Shishi bowed slightly, pointed to a chair in front of him and opposite him, and motioned for Li An to sit down. Then, after Li An sat down, the old gentleman Wang Shi sighed slightly and said the purpose of his trip.
"I'm here this time to taste this food, which has become a national trend, and for another thing, I would like to ask for your help. ”
Wang Shishi's eyes flashed, and after saying this, Li An was stunned.
It is understandable that Wang Shishi personally came to taste the food in his store, but he asked himself for help? The other party is a dignified president of the food association, what can't he do, please help himself? What is it?
Li looked at Wang Shishi quietly, looking willing to hear the details.
Seeing this, Wang Shishi said bluntly: "Ang Lee, you are new to the food industry, have you ever heard of the Global Food Competition?"
Seeing Wang Shishi ask about this matter, Ang Lee knew very little about the global food competition, and even if he knew, he was limited to only knowing that his country was ranked at the bottom of every global food competition, and he really didn't know anything about the reason.
Therefore, when he saw Wang Shishi's gaze, Li An couldn't help but look embarrassed, and replied truthfully: "The younger generation doesn't know!"
After speaking, he looked at Wang Shishi, not knowing why Wang Shishi asked such a question.
When Wang Shi heard Li An's answer, he obviously thought that such a result would occur, but he didn't think so. Because their country is at the bottom of the global food competition every year, naturally no one promotes it, and of course no chefs or foodies have the face to publicize it.
"This global food competition seems to be a global competition, adhering to the principle of fairness and justice, but in fact, there are frequent shady scenes, countless dark rules, and the champion has become a plaything in the hands of those foreign countries!" Speaking of this, Wang Shishi sighed heavily, there was dissatisfaction and resentment in his tone, and even Li An heard a little helplessness when he heard the end.
Then, Wang Shishi told Ang Lee truthfully why Hua Guo was at the bottom of the annual global food competition, and how those foreign food judges targeted Hua Guo, as well as many of them.
After Li An heard this, even he, a Chinese who had never participated in the Global Food Competition, couldn't help but feel a burst of anger on his face!
"These crooked nuts are simply too deceitful!"
For no other reason, in Ang Lee's world, Chinese cuisine is famous at home and abroad, and there are too many foreigners who come to China for Chinese cuisine. Even, many foreigners taste Chinese food as if they are drinking sweet springs, and in many cases, their faces are proud of their country's food!
But now it's good that he came to this world, who knew that the foreigners in this world were so arrogant and arrogant, and even liked to target people in their own country, which made Li An hold his breath in his heart!
Discrimination in the game industry, racial discrimination, cultural discrimination, and even the entertainment industry, these foreigners also have a lot of discrimination against China. Now it's even better, if other forms of discrimination are excusable, these parts of China are indeed inferior to foreign countries, and the progress of development is somewhat slow.
However, the Chinese cuisine is obviously similar to their world, far more than foreign cuisine in terms of cuisine, as well as color, aroma and other aspects. Moreover, these people relied on the fact that Huaguo had no representative from the Global Gastronomy Association, suppressed Chinese cuisine in various ways, and deliberately gave low ratings in the competition to suppress all Chinese gourmets who came to participate in the competition.
Don't say it's Ang Lee about this matter, I'm afraid that as long as the conscientious Chinese people hear it, they will be angry and scold. Therefore, after hearing Wang Shishi's words, Li An's expression was also very cold, obviously angry at the despicable methods of these foreigners.
At this time, Wang Shishi saw the angry look on Li An's face, and couldn't help but smile and nodded. Then, looking at Li An, there was even a hint of a smile in the corner of his eyes, and he said: "On the Internet, they all commented that you Li An is anxious for justice and righteousness, and enthusiastic and patriotic, and now it seems that it is true! Ang Lee, I ask you now, would you like to be one of the teams that will participate in the Global Food Competition?"
"This..."
After Li An heard Wang Shishi's words, he did not agree because of a moment of anger or impulsiveness, but Li An lowered his head and groaned without answering.
It's not that he doesn't want to participate in this global food competition, it's just that he has only heard about this global food competition, and he doesn't know what the specific competition is, what the competition conditions are, what restrictions or whatever. Moreover, this kind of thing is still something that affects the face of the Chinese people, so he can't easily agree.
Wang Shishi seemed to see Li Anxin's doubts and hesitations, so he continued to introduce Li An.
"This global food competition, each country can only have six delegations, and this is still a global live broadcast, don't look at this global food competition because we are at the bottom every year, and no one promotes it, resulting in the ratings being at the bottom of many competitions. However, the ratings of this global food competition in foreign countries can be said to be quite high! In particular, some food powerhouses regard this competition as a football World Cup, so I don't need to say how fanatical and popular it is, right?"
"The reason why I actually found you is because your recent fame is too high in the food world! After thinking about it a few times, and tasting the food you cooked, I decided to ask you to join us and represent our country and go to the competition abroad with five other groups of food delegations. I've just tasted your food, and maybe you'll be the only hope for our country. ”
At the end, Wang Shishi's face couldn't help but be bitter, and finally his tone was almost pleading: "Ang Lee, you must participate in this competition! Your current food is highly praised in China, and there is no better gourmet in China than you in cooking!"
After hearing Wang Shishi's words, Li An's expression was solemn at first, and his brows were slightly furrowed. After a few breaths, Ang Lee turned to a smile, revealing a hint of sudden enlightenment!
After seeing Ang Lee's expression, Wang Shishi, the president of the Chinese Food Association, stared at Ang Lee tightly, waiting for Ang Lee to give him an answer.
Then, Li An let out a long breath and met Wang Shishi's gaze, a hint of playfulness seemed to flash in his eyes, and he said lightly:
"I'll go!"
After Li An said this, Wang Shishi exhaled heavily, and his face also showed a hint of relaxation!
To be honest, Wang Shishi was still very afraid that Ang Lee would reject him, after all, Ang Lee was not a person in their food world, and maybe he wouldn't share the hardships with them and go all out to sweep away the evil breath that the foreigners pressed on them!
And now, when Wang Shishi saw Li Anwei groaning, he agreed, thinking in his heart that Li An was really as jealous as hateful as the rumors said!
However, Wang Shishi also knows the despicable methods of those foreign judges, even if Ang Lee's food is really memorable, and now it can be regarded as the first food in China, he doesn't dare to be careless.
Because, they went abroad to participate in this global food competition, which is equivalent to controlling themselves under others.
Therefore, after only being happy for a short while, Wang Shishi's face froze again, and there was a trace of solemnity on his wrinkled old face, and he said:
"However, although Ang Lee, you agreed to participate in this global food competition, but you must be careful, those foreign judges are insidious and cunning, and they are even more unscrupulous when it comes to Chinese cuisine. I've heard that your opening of a gourmet restaurant is not only very popular in China, but also attracts a lot of attention from many gourmets abroad. If they know that you are also participating in this year's food competition, they are afraid that they will target you especially at that time!"
After Li An heard Wang Shishi's words, although his face was pale, the light smile and expectation in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
From the moment he decided to agree to Wang Shishi's invitation, Li An made a decision in his heart.
Although he didn't know how strong those gourmets abroad were, he didn't know how these people would target the Chinese food delegation in this year's food competition. However, since the quality of these foreign gourmets is so low, they are so bad, and they play such despicable methods, then Ang Lee has the ability to participate in this kind of competition and win glory for the country, so he must not give up.
And the reason why Ang Lee agreed so happily and had such confidence is that his reliance is naturally on the food system in the system!
After Ang Lee completed the challenge task of the food system, he originally had little ambition, and only thought about opening a good store and accumulating some Kitchen God Coins, which could be exchanged for the good things he needed. But when he heard Wang Shishi's words, he suddenly felt a sense of responsibility in his heart!
Since those foreign gourmets in this world are still so detached, dishonest, and like to find trouble with Chinese food, then he doesn't mind giving these foreign gourmets a little color!
Moreover, Wang Shishi also said that this global food competition is a global live broadcast, and even its popularity abroad is not inferior to the football World Cup. How could Ang Lee easily let go of this kind of good opportunity to pretend to be ~ forced abroad and show his face and become famous in front of the people of the world?
Therefore, Ang Lee will definitely participate in this global food competition, and he will show his face in front of the people of the world in advance!
During this time in the afternoon, Wang Shishi tasted the food made by Ang Lee, and talked to Ang Lee about some competition rules, competition matters, and the set competition time!
This year's global food competition is a little rushed compared to the previous one. The usual global food competition has more than a month to prepare after the official announcement. After all parties in various countries were notified, the official competition began fifteen days later, that is, half a month later, and the time of the competition is the same as every other food competition, it takes a week to determine the champion.
According to the king's time, Li An and the others will set off in ten days in order to be in a hurry. Therefore, in these ten days, Ang Lee must take care of everything, and, most importantly, Ang Lee will also go to the general meeting of the food association in Beijing to communicate with other Chinese participating food teams, discuss, and conduct a systematic training and learning on various matters of this global food competition.
Of course, it is Ang Lee who is mainly trained and learned, because these five delegations have experienced the baptism of one or two food competitions, and the two food groups with older qualifications have even participated in four or five global food competitions.
After half an afternoon of long talks, Ang Lee can accept these things raised by Wang Shishi, not to mention that Ang Lee is now a little eager to participate in this global food competition. Therefore, Ang Lee has no objection to these trivial things, or the kind of strongness, playing big names, and even slapping the face that Wang Shishi is most worried about.
At least in Wang Shishi's opinion, Ang Lee is very inconsistent with the rumored image of a face-slapping madman. Wang Shishi is quite satisfied with Ang Lee's performance today, definitely Ang Lee is not as good as rumored.
After that, after Wang Shishi talked to Ang Lee, he got up and left Ang Lee's store to continue to arrange matters related to his global food competition.
Not long after Wang Shishi left, in the food industry, a small circle, it was quietly rumored that Ang Lee was going to participate in the Global Food Competition. Moreover, it is also spreading more and more in the food world.
