The weather in Haizhou in February is gradually warmer, and the long-lost sunshine makes the haze in everyone's heart begin to dissipate, and the pace of spring is beginning to approach.

For the citizens of Haizhou, the Bocuse's World Culinary Contest in China, which has recently been hyped on Haizhou TV's major channels, has successfully attracted their attention.

In the eyes of the world, Haizhou is a city with a very fast pace of life, and tens of millions of people are crowded in a huge city, busy with their careers. Actually, this is a misconception because not everyone is like that.

In recent years, many Haizhou people who live a prosperous life have turned their attention to various cuisines, and the pù gourmet shops from all over the world are all over the streets and alleys of Haizhou. In addition, the food TV program is also extremely popular, and the 'Food Kitchen' broadcast on Haizhou Satellite TV has also become a highly rated program.

For this food program, Haizhou Satellite TV specially hired a humorous host Liu Wei from CCTV with a high salary, who is responsible for this column mainly for Haizhou audiences.

In addition to TV programs, the food column of the radio station has also become a daily listening program for many office workers.

Haizhou is an international metropolis, and one of the most important features is traffic jams, and many office workers are often stuck in traffic jams when commuting, so the food shows that are broadcast during this time period are naturally very popular.

Among them, Fang Tianpu's "Haizhou Cuisine" column has the highest listening rate, and he has also become a well-known food program host and food critic in Haizhou!

In the past few days, Fang Tianpu and Liu Wei have discussed the Bocuse World Cooking Competition as an important topic in their own programs. Even the general public knows about this event, which is known as the 'Olympiad of the chef world'!

This year is the first time that this cooking competition has been introduced to Huaxia, which is considered to be a symbol of China's growing international influence, and has received great attention from the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

With the approval of the leadership, the preparation of the Bocuse Huaxia Selection Tournament in Haizhou is smooth, whether it is the venue, personnel or public opinion publicity, it is not a problem. During this period of time, Haizhou TV and Haizhou Radio have continued to publicize the selection competition, which is due to this form.

…………

In order to better promote the cooking competition to the audience, Haizhou decided to broadcast the whole competition live and after many selections. Liu Wei, a humorous food host, and Fang Tianpu, a famous food critic in Haizhou, became the on-site hosting partners of the competition.

this day. Fang Tianpu and Liu Wei are busy working on the competition venue, conducting the final inspection of the broadcast and broadcasting equipment, and everything is ready, waiting for the start of the competition tomorrow.

"Teacher Fang, would you like to have some tea later?" after leaving the competition venue. Liu Wei asked casually.

Before that. Liu Wei has also been friends with Fang Tianpu for a long time. It's just that I haven't had a chance to meet each other, and after contacting Fang Tianpu in the past few days, Liu Wei feels very good.

It's only past three o'clock. It was a little early for dinner, and he didn't have anything to do today, so Liu Wei simply wanted to ask Fang Tianpu to drink tea together, and then eat by the way in the evening.

"I'm going to pick up a few friends at the airport later, they are also contestants in the chef competition!" Fang Tianpu thought for a while and asked, "Why don't you go with me, get to know each other, and have dinner together in the evening!"

This time, the judges of the Bocuse Contest are all heavyweights of the Chinese Food Association and famous gourmets selected by the organizing committee from all over the world.

has had more contact with Xiao Feng, and Fang Tianpu also knows that Xiao Feng's family likes to make friends, Liu Wei speaks wittily and has his own explanation of food, but he is a person who can make friends.

"Wouldn't it be inconvenient?" Liu Wei was a little moved, but he was still reserved.

Liu Wei also knew that the contestants who could come to participate in the competition must not be nobodies, and Fang Tianpu's status in the Haizhou food circle was not ordinary, so he also wanted to integrate into this circle.

Liu Wei likes to cook very much, and believes that cooking is a creative art, so he naturally hopes to communicate with chefs with superb cooking skills, which is purely a personal interest.

"It's okay, people who love food like to make friends very much!" Fang Tianpu patted Liu Wei on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll also follow Teacher Fang to see the world!" Liu Wei is not a hypocritical person, so he nodded without hesitation.

After a delay, Fang Tianpu's Audi A6 and Liu Wei's Mercedes-Benz E200 Yuguan left the underground parking lot and headed for Haizhou Airport.

Fortunately, it was not the rush hour at this time, and when I arrived at the airport, it was just ten minutes before the flight arrived, and there was no mistake.

In the airport hall, Fang Tianpu met Benjamin, who also came to pick up the plane, and after saying hello, the three of them chatted while waiting for Xiao Feng and his party to come out of the aisle.

Liu Wei is very interested in the young Benjamin, after all, in the past two years, Benjamin has been a rising star in Haizhou's food scene. His 'Jinghu Agriculture' has become an important part of Haizhou's high-end diet, and even most of the ingredients that Liu Wei's family usually eats are bought from 'Jinghu Agriculture'.

It's just that Liu Wei usually buys groceries at the No. 2 store in the financial center near the TV station, and rarely meets Benjamin, so he can't talk about acquaintance.

After meeting, Liu Wei felt that this young man was not bad, whether it was conversation or temperament, he was not quite like a businessman, but more like a student.

Liu Wei, who graduated from the Chinese Department of Xichuan University, is still a literati in his bones even if he has gone to the sea and done business, and it is easy to have a good impression of Benjamin, who is not very philistine.

…………

After waiting for a while, Xiao Feng, Xiao Qiang, Xiao Jinhao and Qin Weiguo came out of the passage, and Liu Wei recognized Xiao Feng as well, and only then did he realize that Fang Tianpu was really broad!

Liu Wei, who used to be the host of Haizhou First Financial Channel, is also a person in half of the financial circle, so he naturally knows something about Xiao Feng and his Xiao family;

Aside from the identity of the billionaire of the Xiao family, the exquisite cooking skills of the three-star Michelin restaurant made Liu Wei feel more friendly with Xiao Feng and others.

…………

"Teacher Liu, I didn't miss the show you hosted on CCTV back then, and most of your interest in cooking was guided by you, and I am so happy to see you today!" Holding Liu Wei's hand, Xiao Feng was quite enthusiastic.

Xiao Feng is not complimenting Liu Wei, from 2000 to 2002, Liu Wei's food program hosted by CCTV can be regarded as Xiao Feng's enlightenment teacher who became interested in cooking. It was from that time that Xiao Feng consciously exercised his cooking skills, and he had today's exquisite cooking skills.

Otherwise, even if Xiao Feng had the Spatial Spirit Spring and top-notch ingredients, he might not be able to make a delicious meal that would amaze everyone.

"I didn't expect Xiao Dong to watch my show, it's really an honor!" Because he was not very familiar with Xiao Feng, Liu Wei could only be polite.

Although Liu Wei is not a figure who tends to be inflammatory, but face to face with a billionaire, his powerful aura still makes him feel a little pressure.

"Teacher Liu, just call me Xiaofeng!" Xiao Feng waved his hand and said, "I didn't hold a single position in the company, and I came to Haizhou to act as my uncle's assistant!"

The group exchanged pleasantries for a while, then left the airport, first went to 'Jinghu Agriculture' to check the various ingredients that had arrived in advance, and then drank tea in a nearby teahouse, and had a meal together in the evening!

…………

After a night's rest, Xiao Feng, Xiao Jinhao and Qin Weiguo began to get busy and make final preparations for the competition.

For example, dashi needs to be boiled beforehand, and in the Chinese food system, dashi is a very important part, and each restaurant has its own secrets.

For example, the soup stock is made from Xiao family ham, plateau black pork bones, plateau snow chicken, and various precious wild mushrooms. This pot of stock does not contain any seasonings, but it concentrates the umami flavor of various top-quality ingredients, and it is the best for all kinds of dishes.

It's just that the process of making 'Xiao's soup stock' is complicated, and the time required is not short, so not everyone can do it well.

As for Xiao Qiang, he is a complete cooking idiot, and this time he came to Haizhou, just to see his fiancée.

Although Xiao Qiang had followed Wei Tingting to Ancang Ancient Town to pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Wei on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and only returned to Ginkgo Village for a few days, but the young man in love is already light if he doesn't see him every other day!

The little couple plans to buy a house in Haizhou this time, and after the decoration, it will become a nest for the two of them in Haizhou, as for the father's participation in the cooking competition, he can't help much!

Ignoring the stinky boy who forgot his senses, Xiao Jinhao took two assistants to the kitchen found by Benjamin and began to make final preparations for the cooking competition, making zuò soup, processing ingredients, and so on.

…………

Just when Xiao Jinhao and others were busy for the competition, the other contestants also arrived in Haizhou one after another, carefully prepared with the help of their respective related households, and worked hard to compete for the title of master chef.

Haizhou TV, Haizhou Radio, Haizhou's network media, and print media are also reporting on the cooking competition more and more intensively, and there is a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings!

After all, the chef who can stand out from the selection competition has the opportunity to go to France and compete for the title of 'World Chef King', which is an irresistible temptation for every chef.

Even if Xiao Jinhao is not very aware of the history and international influence of the Bocuse Cooking Competition, the mere fact that 'more people can taste his own cooking' is his biggest motivation!

The clock is ticking, and the war is about to start! (To be continued......)
