I don't seem to have any acquaintances in Lin'an, who will call me.

Fang Ze looked up while thinking, but found that it was really an acquaintance who called him.

An Ruoxi.

"Long time no see. Fang Ze greeted the eldest lady.

"It's you. Lin Xiaoxin looked at An Ruoxi, and also remembered that she had almost regarded this girl as a junior.

"It's been a long time since you have seen each other. An Ruoxi wore a set of little princess dress-style clothes and walked over with a twenty-inch rose gold trolley box.

"Long time no see. Although Lin Xiaoxin didn't know that this eldest lady was the kind of self-familiar character, she stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling person, and when she saw An Ruoxi greeting her so warmly, she had no choice but to respond politely.

"Are you here to attend the food festival?"

"That's right. Fang Ze said to An Ruoxi, "Are you too?"

"I'm here to see my brother and stop by for a food festival. An Ruoxi raised her neck and said.

Fang Ze found that this girl had a kind of compelling pride that exuded all the time, and when she spoke, she was like a swan with her neck raised.

If this kind of person can tolerate her stinky temper from time to time, she can make friends deeply, because she will never stab you after parting, and even if she has an opinion about you, she will not say bad things about you.

This means that there will be a lot of people in life who you see have a bad temper, but whose popularity is unexpectedly good.

After all, people with high emotional intelligence will make you very comfortable with them, but this comfort cannot be trusted at critical times.

"You're here to get ready for a taxi. An Ruoxi looked at Fang Ze and said, "There are a lot of people who come to Lin'an today, and they are about to catch up with the number of people in the Zhongshan Mausoleum in Jinling on the last National Day, and it is very difficult to take a taxi." ”

"If you really have no choice, you can only take the subway. Fang Ze also said a little helplessly.

He really didn't expect that there would be so many people today, and he would have driven here if he knew it, which would be more convenient, but it was possible to find a parking space by car.

"My brother sent someone to pick me up, and I'm also going to Xianghu. If you don't mind, let's go together. An Ruoxi said briskly.

"Okay. After Fang Ze asked Lin Xiaoxin if he had no opinion, he agreed.

Outside the station, a black four-door, five-seater Mercedes Benz is parked there.

"Uncle Yang, didn't my brother come in person?" An Ruoxi walked over, glanced at the car glass, and then asked a bearded middle-aged man standing at the door of the Mercedes-Benz.

"The little boss is still busy with entertainment in Xianghu, so he didn't come in person. The man called Uncle Yang said respectfully.

"Forget it, I didn't count on him. An Ruoxi's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then asked Uncle Yang to open the carriage and throw the trolley box in.

"Let's go. After several people entered the car, An Ruoxi said to Uncle Yang.

"Okay. Uncle Yang heard An Ruoxi's words and started driving.

"We'll take the car straight to the infield of the festival. An Ruoxi turned her head to Fang Ze, who was sitting beside her, and said, "Have you bought a ticket, if not, I will call someone to prepare a ticket for you." ”

"It's not necessary, we bought it before we came. Fang Ze turned on his mobile phone and asked An Ruoxi to look at his e-ticket.

"That's good. An Ruoxi nodded, and then asked Fang Ze, "Have you contacted the cosmodite patient who went to the comic con with you last time, I asked someone to investigate for a long time and didn't find out who he is." ”

Cosmodia patients...

Fang Ze said with the idea of maintaining Xiao Hei's reputation, "He is just a women's clothing boss, not a transvestite patient. ”

"Does it make a difference?"

"Women's clothing bosses are better. ”

After Fang Ze said this, the conversation between the two people became cold. However, An Ruoxi had a good chat with Lin Xiaoxin.

Lin Xiaoxin's personality has always been very changeable, and she can basically talk to anyone.

I still remember when I was very young, Lin Xiaoxin was still a serious seven-year-old true Lori.

Lin Xiaoxin's mother led Lin Xiaoxin to the mall, and then because there were more people, Lin Xiaoxin's mother was also more horsey, so she lost Lin Xiaoxin.

And Lin Xiaoxin's nerves are even bigger, she realized that she had lost it after watching the two cute young ladies dance on the dance machine for more than half an hour.

And Lin's mother had already left the mall at this time, thinking that she hadn't brought Lin Xiaoxin out, so she went straight home.

Lin Xiaoxin, who was lost by a person, directly found the security guard of the mall, and then broadcast in the mall for more than ten minutes and did not see anyone come to pick up Lin Xiaoxin, so she had to call the police and ask the police uncle to take Lin Xiaoxin back to the police station.

After entering the police station, the two police uncles showed Lin Xiaoxin a lot of delicious snacks, and then tried to ask Lin Xiaoxin's mouth for the address of their home and the phone number of Lin Xiaoxin's parents.

But after seeing the delicious food, Lin Xiaoxin thought that if she said her home phone number now, she would probably not be able to eat so many delicious food.

Therefore, she pretended to be stupid and chatted with a group of police uncles in the police station for more than an hour, ate all the snacks, and then said Dad Lin's phone number and asked Dad Lin and Mother Lin, who were about to go crazy, to come and pick her up.

Therefore, Fang Ze will not be confused by Lin Xiaoxin's seemingly simple appearance since he was a child, knowing that this little man is actually scheming.

After nearly an hour, the black Mercedes-Benz finally passed through the congested highway and arrived at Xianghu.

The area of Xianghu Lake is not as large as that of West Lake, but it is not particularly small.

However, the area of the largest island in the middle of Xianghu Lake is not small, especially after the Lin'an Municipal Government invested heavily in the renovation, it is directly built on the island in the middle of Xianghu Lake a six-story ancient building style Xianghu Tower.

And the infield of this food festival is in this ancient building.

Originally, the island in the middle of the lake was not connected to the land, so it could only be reached by boat, but because of the convenience of the food festival this time, the organizers specially built a temporary small bridge for cars of the same sex, but there is no problem.

The black Mercedes entered the island and stopped.

Although there is not much remaining area of this island in the middle of the lake except for ancient buildings, there are few places to park.

However, this black Mercedes obviously has its own parking space, and after entering the island in the middle of the lake, it quickly parked in a parking space that is shaded by two groups of small trees.

A few people got out of the car, and a staff member in ancient costumes came over, verified the tickets of several people, and then walked to the restaurant with a few people.

"I'm going up to my brother, do you want to go with me too?"

"No need. Fang Ze waved his hand and said, "We shouldn't be able to go up above, let's stay below." ”

Although Fang Ze bought an infield ticket. But at any given time, a truly top-notch service can't be bought with money alone.

So even if he bought the most expensive ticket, Fang Ze couldn't go up to the top floor.

If he looks for Li Zihao and Chen Jian, it is possible to get the above places. But Fang Ze is generally a person who would rather owe money than owe favors to others.

If the favor is not on the blade, then it will become worthless.

The first floor of Xianghu Building is already very large, and the chefs who come from all over the world are cooking at different booths for diners to taste.

Of course, these are just appetizers.

The festival begins after noon, when heavyweight chefs arrive, they cook for all the guests on the first floor to taste, and then the guests score them.

Those with high scores can advance and go upstairs to cook.

According to the discussion of the diners next to him, Fang Ze finally figured out what kind of mechanism this food festival was.

The top chefs cook for the guests upstairs. Some not-so-top-notch, but very famous chefs will cook on the first floor for the guests who have bought tickets to come in, and then rate them according to the guests. The four chefs with the highest points will advance, and together with the top chefs, they will start climbing the stairs.

The rules for climbing the stairs are the same as on the first floor, and only a limited number of chefs on each floor can advance to the higher floor to cook, and the only condition for promotion is that the score is high enough.

Starting from the first floor at the bottom, there are some chefs on each floor who don't need to be promoted, and can stand on that floor just by relying on fame, and start from the bottom to climb up together with the chefs who have been promoted from below.

And on the highest sixth floor, it is said that in addition to some powerful and rich tycoons, there are several top gourmets. These gourmets will update their reviews online, that is, if a young chef who is not famous can climb from the first floor to the sixth floor.

As long as you can get a pertinent comment from the gourmets on the sixth floor, your value will skyrocket, and the hotel restaurant you belong to will become a new Internet celebrity restaurant.

This is a great temptation for chefs.

What's more, people in the catering industry know that the cost of ingredients is actually limited.

The more high-end the restaurant, the greater the profit, and those private clubs, private restaurants and other places that serve the powerful and rich are even more profitable.

And the premise of all this is only one: fame.

The Xianghu Food Festival happens to provide the best platform for those chefs who have enough strength but do not have the opportunity to become famous.

Fang Ze and the three of them ate one by one, and found that even the food before the official competition was made extremely seriously and delicious, and it seemed that these chefs on the first floor were also fighting.

"How does it feel?" Fang Ze turned his head and asked Liu Pleiasion, an expert in this area.

"There are indeed more and more condiments in it than in our world. But the chefs overlook a lot of small details and don't bring out the real role of these condiments at all. Only blindly pursue the technique and ignore the technique. ”
