Episode 284 Liu Haolin's Background
Zheng Ke scratched his head and felt apologetic in his heart.
After all, there is a saying in Huaxia that "hitting people does not slap their faces, and scolding people does not expose their shortcomings", Catherine spoke too directly.
"Don't say that, in fact, Senior Ye also lost to him. Zheng Ke took over and rescued Que Zhengqing from his embarrassment.
"Is it? Senior Ye also lost...... In this way, this chef named Liu Haolin really has two hits. Catherine said earnestly.
"Not just two times. Que Zhengqing clenched his teeth, and there was a look of resentment in his eyes, "He is not a student of the East...... No, it should be said, he never studied in culinary school. ”
The people here are all students from the world's top gastronomic schools, so they believe that a student must go through systematic training if he wants to enter the ranks of the world's top chefs. People like Liu Haolin have never studied in a top school, but their strength is so strong, which really makes it a little difficult for those here to accept.
"What you say is true?" Marcus questioned.
As Lanji's teacher, it was really hard for him to believe that in the world, in addition to Dongfang and Lanji, there were still young chefs who were the same age as Catherine, but their strength was not weaker than that of Lanji's third-year students.
"Mr. Marcus, I know how you feel in your heart, but what I say is true. Que Zhengqing sighed, the expression on his face was extremely depressed.
Zheng Ke also patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, Que Zhengqing is also a genius chef, but he is "ill-fated".
Last year, and even in the first half of this year, he was always overpowered by Catherine, and at school, Fu Xiuyun and Cheng Huaizhi stood in front of him. Finally, Fu Xiuyun and Cheng Huaizhi graduated and left the East, which should have been the time for him to show his talents, but he was surpassed by Liu Haolin.
It can only be said that there are really too many talents in Huaxia.
"However, if you don't have a foundation, I'm afraid you won't be able to qualify from the Huaxia Division, right? In the final analysis, this chef named Liu Haolin is still different from ordinary people. Zheng Ke rubbed his chin and speculated.
"That's right, first of all, this 'Zhuo Cheng Restaurant' is a 50-year-old restaurant, which is said to have been founded by his grandfather, and his father, who is also a first-class special chef, grew up in such an environment, Liu Haolin has conditions that no one else has. Que Zhengqing explained.
"Special chef, what's that?" Catherine asked in a low voice as she tugged at Zheng Ke's sleeve.
In Western restaurants, there is no such thing as a special chef, so Catherine is a little puzzled.
"You should be a three-star chef, right?" Zheng Ke said simply.
In fact, a three-star chef is not quite the same as a grand-grade chef. Strictly speaking, GO is certified by restaurants, not chefs. It's just that sometimes it is more convenient to introduce star chefs.
The Grand Chef is different, it is a certificate issued by the relevant institutions after the chef is recognized, and the object of its certification is the chef.
But in any case, Liu Haolin's father is a first-class special chef, which shows that he is an absolute expert in Cantonese cuisine.
"In addition, Liu Haolin's master is even more powerful. Que Zhengqing continued.
"Wait, you just said that Liu Haolin's father is already a special chef, isn't he Liu Haolin's master?" Catherine was surprised.
Zheng Ke shook his fingers and said softly: "You don't understand the rules of Huaxia." Normally, a father and son cannot be a master and apprentice, and the chef requires extremely hard practice. Many times, the father can't be ruthless and let the child suffer more, so he will ask a person he can trust to be the child's master. ”
Hearing Zheng Ke's explanation, the people around nodded slightly, understanding the reason.
"Then who is his master?" Zheng Ke then asked.
"Cantonese cuisine master Mo Xiaohe. Que Zhengqing said.
Zheng Ke opened his mouth, even if he didn't know who Mo Xiaohe was, he also knew the weight of the words "Cantonese cuisine".
There is no doubt that this chef named Mo Xiaohe is one of the best chefs in Cantonese cuisine.
The chef who was trained by a first-class master chef and a master of Cantonese cuisine, he must be a leader among his peers.
"Even if it's just an ordinary talent, if you can have such a teacher, your future achievements will not be too small. Growing up in such an environment since childhood, it does occupy the right time, place, people, and even the teachers in the East are not as good as Liu Haolin's masters. Que Zhengqing, you are not unjustly lost. Zheng Ke heard Que Zhengqing's words, and his shoulders also felt pressure.
Although Liu Haolin's ranking is below Catherine, Liu Haolin has participated in few international competitions, and if the two compete directly, the outcome is still unknown.
Que Zhengqing pursed his lips, his eyes full of unconvinced.
"I don't actually believe that his strength is so strong, but ...... In the previous game, it was really a losing temper. Que Zhengqing bit his lip.
"Don't worry, you have a chance to be in the main race of the-blue. Zheng Ke comforted.
"Impossible...... At least not this year. Que Zhengqing shook his head.
"Why? You don't even have the confidence to defeat him, do you?" Zheng Ke said with a smile.
"In another place, I believe I have a chance to win him. However, don't forget, this time the-blue competition will be held in Yangcheng, and he is the real host. Que Zhengqing said.
"What's wrong with Yangcheng? The judges must be fair, right?" Catherine protested.
Que Zhengqing slapped the table and said impatiently: "What do you know? Do you know how many cuisines there are in China? Do you know how big the gap between each cuisine is? The southerners and northerners in China have very different tastes in eating, and their personal eating habits can easily affect the judges' judgment, not to mention that Western dishes are very different from Chinese dishes. This time, the judges of the-blue are almost all Chinese chefs, and most of the judges from the south are gentlemen, even if they want to be fair, they will not betray their feelings. ”
When the others heard Que Zhengqing's words, they were all silent.
Almost all of the judges are Chinese chefs, and just looking at this, it makes it difficult to feel its fairness. However, in the last edition of the-blue, the judges did not have Chinese chefs, so the last competition was not fair. Although the person who won the the-blue championship in the end was Cheng Huaizhi, there will definitely be people who question the process of the competition.
"The only good news is that the judges for the finals are two Western judges, one Japanese judge and two Chinese judges. If you want to be fair, try to get there, and that's the only chance. Que Zhengqing spread his hands and looked helpless.
The rest of the audience looked at each other, and everyone's expressions became solemn.
According to Que Zhengqing, the final is indeed fair, but the premise is that they can enter the final.
