"Mr. Liu Mang, it's been a long time. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wang Dingquan looked at Liu Mang's office.

The office is very modest, with only a few stools and a desk. Behind the desk is an entire wall of bookshelves filled with books.

"It won't be long, Director Wang. It's only been a month. Liu Mang smiled: "The commercial you shot for me last time was very good, and the effect was very good after it was broadcast on the TV station." ”

"Yes!

"I don't know what Director Wang is looking for me this time? ”

"Really!" Wang Dingquan nodded.

"Ah? Isn't your show only one season a year? It's only been a month, why is filming starting again?"

"It's not the last "Wild Adventure", but another show - "Challenge the God of Food". ”

"I'm sorry, Director Wang. Liu Mang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I've been really busy lately, and I really can't take time out." ”

"But Master Liu Mang, isn't it your obligation to participate in this show?"

"Obligation?" Liu Mang looked surprised: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Of course it matters, our show is a sub-program of "Chef God Competition". There is a period of time a year, the purpose is to cultivate newcomers and discover talents, and at the same time to warm up for the next year's kitchen god competition. ”

"Wait...... You're saying I have to go?"

"Of course, the name of this show is "Challenge the Chef"!"

"But I don't know, you let me ask first. Liu Mang walked outside the door, picked up his mobile phone and dialed Li Ruonan's phone, and explained the situation.

"That's right, because the Chef Contest is jointly organized by several TV stations, the contemporary Chef God has the obligation to promote the Chef God Contest, and at the same time, he is also the image spokesperson of the Chef Contest, and he has the obligation to cooperate with some publicity activities of the Chef Contest. Li Ruonan replied.

"What if I don't go?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't go, after all, it's just a verbal agreement, and there are no relevant legal documents. ”

"That's it......" Liu Mang thought for a while: "Will it take up a lot of my time?"

"No, once a week, you just have to go up and be a judge, and then you can compete with the winner in the last issue. ”

"Just a judge?" Liu Mang laughed.

After all, as long as he tastes the dishes, he doesn't want to spend time preparing the dishes, which can be considered.

"Actually, there is a hidden benefit. Li Ruonan said again.

"What's the benefit?"

"The biggest obstacle to the expansion of our new restaurant is the lack of capable chefs. Although there are many experienced chefs, it is relatively easy to recruit, but there are still too few chefs like Shan Jian and Zhu Daming who are extremely talented and can sit in a store. You can use this show to see if there are suitable candidates, and we can train them as a new force in the restaurant. ”

"Well, I'll take a look, but I can't get my hopes up, because people who are really capable usually start their own businesses and are rarely willing to work for others. ”

To put it another way, if Liu Mang hadn't recaptured the upstairs, he would have opened a small store and become the boss himself, instead of being a chef in a hotel.

Back in the office, Wang Dingquan was looking forward to it: "How is it, Master Liu Mang?"

"I heard Miss Ruonan say that I just want to be a judge?" asked Liu Mang.

"Well, that's right!" Wang Dingquan nodded: "Most of the people who participated in this "Challenge the God of Cooking" competition are not professional chefs and have not undergone professional training. Many of them only have one hand, so Master Liu Mang only needs to be a good judge. ”

"Okay, I'll go. Liu Mang nodded and agreed: "After all, it is also my unshirkable responsibility as a culinary god to promote China's food culture and tap and train new culinary talents." ”

"That's great, Master Liu Mang. ”

……

……

"Brother, do you really want to go?" asked the little girl in a simple hut, munching on a cone and snotting in a milky voice.

"Hmm. The boy sitting with his back to her answered, staring unblinkingly at the old-fashioned color television on the cabinet.

A commercial is playing on the TV at the moment: Mr. Liu Mang, the new chef god, will join the show, serve as the final judge of this competition, and will have a big competition with the champion of the show. Do you want to challenge the chef? Do you want to conquer the audience with food? Come and join us......

"Didn't the master say that he wanted us to go to school hard. The little girl reluctantly snuck her fingers, jumped up from the chair, and came to the boy's side.

"Also, what about our noodle shop? Are we closing?"

"It's not closed, it's just closed for a while. The boy looked back, and although his appearance was not very outstanding, his teeth were very white and neat, and his smile was very good.

"Belle, I don't want to go to school anymore, I want to learn to cook in the future!" The young man's eyes flashed with determination: "I want to become a chef like Chef Liu Mang!"

"Okay, yes!" the little girl clapped her hands, "so that I can eat delicious food every day!"

However, the little girl immediately became troubled: "What will you do after you leave?"

Hearing this, the young man's face, which was still full of joy just now, immediately pulled down: "Yes, who will take care of her?" ”

This young man is the one Liu Mang met before the Chef God Competition. At that time, he taught him to make Yangchun noodles and helped him open his family's noodle restaurant.

What Liu Mang didn't know was that that inadvertent act of kindness planted a seed in the young man's heart, allowing the young man to find his own direction in life.

Three months ago, the teenager inadvertently saw Liu Mang's performance on the show. Only then did I know that the mysterious man who taught him below turned out to be a contemporary kitchen god.

So, a fire seemed to rise in the young man's heart, hoping to see Liu Mang again and thank him for it.

This simple wish seemed to be as fervent as a pilgrimage in the young man's heart.

"Bao, go ahead. The woman lying on her side on the bed rolled over: "Don't worry about me, I'll call my aunt to come over and help take care of it for a while." ”

The woman looked at her son, her eyes were a little sour, and her heart also swelled with infinite guilt.

A child of this age should spend a carefree teenage life. Instead of getting up early and greedy for darkness every day like now, and shouldering the heavy responsibilities of the family like an adult man.

But fortunately, since that man taught his son the following, the noodle shop has been doing well. The son and daughter are very sensible, and the injury on their legs is slowly recovering under conditioning, and the doctor said that they will be able to walk on the ground soon.

Life gradually faded to black, and finally showed its sunny side to this poor family. And all this was brought by the man with a warm smile.

"Can I really go?" the boy asked again.

"Go ahead, people have helped our family so much, it's time to find a chance to say thank you to him in person. ”
