【Chapter 416】 Cooking Festival (Subscription Requested!)

"Good evening, audience friends, audience friends in front of the TV, listeners in front of the radio!" The two middle-aged hosts held microphones and greeted the audience at the venue of the cooking competition!

Due to the peculiarities of the cooking competition, a live broadcast is unlikely, after all, you can't make a TV audience stare at the chef for hours processing the ingredients and preparing the dishes, right?

Therefore, the first few rounds of the cooking competition will be recorded and broadcast, and the program team will broadcast the edited content on TV and radio. The organizing committee of the Bocuse Culinary Competition did not have much opinion on this.

For the organizing committee, even the recording can greatly increase the influence of the competition, and after the program is edited, it can better reflect the chef's exquisite cooking skills, and the effect is better!

Of course, the broadcast of the show naturally also needs a host, so Fang Tianpu and Liu Wei made their debut!

Amid the thunderous applause of the audience, the competition officially kicked off, and the first round of the competition featured a wide range of topics, allowing the chef to formulate a recipe and prepare his own dishes.

In the second round of the competition, the organizing committee will specify the ingredients, and the contestants will give full play to their cooking creativity to make an exquisite meal and compete for the final winner!

Soon, the cooking table in the studio began to get busy, and this year's Bocuse d'Or introduced Chinese food for the first time, which is also a reflection of the increasing international influence of Chinese food.

In the first round of the competition, Xiao Jinhao naturally did not use the killer weapon to make 'Buddha jump over the wall', but used wild mushrooms and live fish that are unique to the Jinghu area. Two dishes: zuò delicious mushroom soup and squirrel fish.

In Xiao Jinhao's view, being able to make simple dishes into flowers is the real kung fu!

…………

When the chefs are busy, the audience is also quite focused, after all, being able to watch the chefs' cooking skills up close is a rare experience for every food lover.

You must know that these viewers only got on-site tickets after participating in various activities held by Haizhou TV, Haizhou Radio and major media. The reason why these audiences put in a lot of time and energy is because they are all food lovers. There are even many employees in major restaurants in Haizhou.

In a sense. The Bocuse Cup is one of the top gastronomic events that anyone who wants to do is not to be missed.

In the eyes of all the audience, Xiao Jinhao is the most eye-catching in this group!

The other contestants have various titles and titles. Master chefs abound. But Xiao Jinhao does not have any professional title. What's more, Xiao Jinhao is the head chef of the first 'three-Michelin three-star Chinese restaurant' in China. It's enough to make everyone look at it!

In particular, many sharp-eyed viewers recognized Xiao Feng, a billionaire, a super-rich man who actually appeared at the scene of the cooking competition and acted as a chef's assistant, which is clearly a hot news.

For a while, the cameras of the on-site media reporters quietly focused on Xiao Jinhao's team, and many fast-handed reporters and viewers landed on their scarves and uploaded the photos they took to the Internet.

With a special person like Xiao Feng, food lovers and industry insiders who were originally very concerned about this competition have expressed their own comments on the scarf, and some powerful reporters have quickly found out the relationship between the 'Xiao family's private restaurant' and Xiao Feng.

The follow-up of the media pushed the competition to the forefront in a short period of time, and there was a heated discussion around Xiao Feng's participation.

Don't think that only beautiful women can be a topic in this world, every move of the super-rich is also an important factor to attract attention, especially a 25-year-old billionaire, which is full of attraction!

Prior to this, Xiao Feng was relatively low-key, except for being interviewed by Forbes magazine, CCTV, and Huaxia Society, he had never been interviewed by other media, and rarely appeared in public. Of course, some tourists can often take photos of Xiao Feng in Ginkgo Village, and even take photos with Xiao Feng;

This time, Xiao Feng actually participated in the selection of the Bocuse Cooking Competition as Xiao Jinhao's assistant, which was naturally a big news, and the media reporters were like chickens.

No, the game is still ongoing, and the media stationed in Haizhou have already arrived at the venue of the competition, the studio hall of Haizhou TV.

The flock of media reporters immediately surprised the organizing committee and Haizhou TV, who were worried that the coverage of the competition was not enough, but now it seems that there are many surprises!

After learning the original intention of the media reporter's interview, everyone looked at each other, and then they knew that the root of the problem was Xiao Feng.

At this time, the organizing committee was quite difficult, worried that Xiao Jinhao's dishes were not amazing enough and lacked strength, which would put the judges in a dilemma.

The organizing committee hopes that Xiao Jinhao's team can continue the next round of the competition, which is of great benefit to the promotion of the event, but the Bocuse Championship has always been known for its strictness and fairness, and it is naturally impossible to show favoritism.

…………

Just when the person in charge of the organizing committee suffered from gains and losses, and the media reporters were looking forward to it, the competition finally ended, and the judges began to taste the dishes made by the contestants.

At this time, Xiao Feng, like other contestants, stood on the stage and waited for the final result, but the sudden appearance of many reporters in the audience still made Xiao Feng realize something.

Although Xiao Feng is usually very pessimistic about many things, when it comes to Xiao Jinhao's dream, Xiao Feng can't help but be a little nervous, for fear that the result will not be good and make his uncle sad.

Of course, Xiao Feng has a bit of a good face, if he is eliminated in the first round, he will lose his adult in front of so many media!

…………

After a long and tense wait, the jury finally announced the results of the first round of the competition, and Xiao Jinhao's team remained on the promotion list.

Tony, the chairman of the organizing committee who was backstage, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and without any hint from anyone, the judges of the jury came to a conclusion based entirely on their own judgment, which shows that Xiao Jinhao's cooking skills are not low!

As long as Xiao Jinhao's team and Xiao Feng continue to stay in this selection competition, it means that the competition will receive more media and public attention, which will have great benefits for the promotion of the influence of the Bocuse Tournament in China!

As for the director of Haizhou TV, he also looked ecstatic, after all, as a media person, he knew what kind of benefits Xiao Feng's appearance on the TV program would bring to the ratings?

Chen Guanyu has already thought that in the next publicity, he will focus on highlighting Xiao Feng's identity as a 'billionaire' to attract more viewers to watch the show. As long as the ratings go up, advertisers won't pounce on it?

Chen Guanyu, who was in charge of a project independently for the first time, seems to have seen his promotion and salary increase, become the general manager, become the CEO, win Bai Fumei, and embark on a bright future of life!

It's exciting to think about!

…………

Not to mention Tony and Chen Guanyu's complicated ideas, as soon as the competition ended, Xiao Feng was immediately surrounded by media reporters, in stark contrast to the other chefs, who were deserted!

"Dong Xiao, what kind of considerations did you come to participate in the cooking competition this time?"

"Xiao Dong, what do you have to say about promotion?"

"Dong Xiao, are you worried that the outside world thinks you are grandstanding?"

"Dong Xiao, will your identity put pressure on the other contestants?"

…………

All of a sudden, Lin Li's microphone almost poked directly into Xiao Feng's face, and every media was shouting questions to Xiao Feng, and the scene was a little chaotic.

In fact, it is no wonder that media reporters are so excited, after all, Xiao Feng has set a precedent for the super-rich in China, that is, to participate in a cooking competition, and will appear on the TV screen.

For many reporters, Xiao Feng was finally caught!

If nothing else, tomorrow's report can attract a lot of attention based on this alone, and for the sake of the 'eyeball economy', these reporters are not as good as chicken blood?

"Everyone, take your time, I can't run away!" Xiao Feng pressed down with his hands, signaled the reporters to be calm, and said with a smile: "Today I am not Xiao Dong, but my uncle's cooking assistant!"

"When I was at home, I was also the second chef of the 'Xiao family's private restaurant', and although my cooking skills have not been standardized and learned, they are not too bad. Xiao Feng introduced the original intention of the competition to the media, saying: "We believe that Chinese food has a broad and profound content, which can fully demonstrate the life philosophy and historical evolution of our Chinese people, and hope that it can go to the world and be accepted by more people." ”

"Since I came to the competition, there is no difference between high and low status, everyone is a fan of food, and I hope to be able to create a sense of happiness for people with nothing!"

"Thanks to the judges' decision to advance, we will work harder in the next competitions to present more delicacies to everyone!"

After the reporters got the answers they wanted, they left satisfied, and in the face of the slightly resentful eyes of some chefs, Xiao Feng was also a little helpless.

In fact, Xiao Feng expected this kind of thing before the competition, but in the competition, he must still compete with real materials, Xiao Feng will not narcissistically think that his identity can affect the decision of the organizing committee.

…………

On the day of the competition, the news of Xiao Feng's appearance in the Bocuse Culinary Contest in China immediately occupied an important page in many media, and some strict financial websites even put the incident in the headlines of the day.

Participating in a cooking competition as a billionaire is probably Xiao Feng setting a precedent!

In the next publicity, Haizhou TV also highlighted Xiao Feng's identity, trying to attract more audiences.

For a while, Xiao Feng became a popular figure!(To be continued......)
