Chapter 138: Kijiu Zhiyuan Fruit
Almost by noon, Li Xiaoran had already arrived in Ginza. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Located in a major business district in Tokyo's Chuo Ward, known as 'Asia's most expensive place', it is home to brand-name goods from all over the world, with huge shopping malls lining the streets, as well as high-end restaurants such as Italian, French, and Arabic nearby.
And Guan Shouping's sushi restaurant is also on this street.
Because of the reason that the program team was notified by calling in advance, Li Xiaoran did not wait long, and a black business car had already appeared in front of Li Xiaoran.
Although it was noon, the streets were not as crowded as Li Xiaoran imagined, and it only took more than twenty minutes to reach the target hotel.
Because of filming reasons, the second floor of the entire hotel has been booked by the program team.
"Li Sang, but I'm just waiting for your arrival, you must know that there is news from the cooking institution, saying that you agreed to our invitation, I have been happy for a long time, but Li Sang, you came to participate in the recording of the show, is there no problem at the restaurant?" When Li Xiaoran walked into the hotel, he saw a middle-aged man with stubble walking over with a smile on his face.
Ichiro Yamado of the program group originally invited Li Xiaoran from a neon cooking institution, but Ichiro Yamado invited him with the mood to try it out.
After all, you must know that Li Xiaoran is very, very famous in neon, especially in the areas of Kyoto and Tokyo.
In addition, the restaurant 'L', which was opened not long ago, was rated as a one-star restaurant after the trial opening, and it is also a restaurant among the best in Neon.
In particular, it is ranked fourth among the one-star restaurants in Kyoto.
That's a terrible statistic for a newly established restaurant.
You must know that the three restaurants on Li Xiaoran's restaurant have a history of several decades in Kyoto.
Although it is still a one-star restaurant, it is definitely not worse than the average two-star restaurant.
Therefore, it can be said that it is a surprise to be able to invite Li Xiaoran.
As for the salary, it obviously won't be cheaper.
The other staff on the side also greeted Li Xiaoran with a smile on their faces.
"However, Director Yamamichi, the other two judges, haven't you come yet?" After saying hello, Li Xiaoran asked Ichiro Yamado with some curiosity.
Compared with the surrounding crew, Li Xiaoran is more interested in which two judges the program team invited.
"I was going to invite Chef Yixin, but if there was some accident in the restaurant for his words, he might not be able to come, so this time there are only two judges, including Li Sang, and if you invite again, it won't be too late, and the time won't take too long, after all, Li Sang, you all have restaurants to take care of, and if it is consumed day by day, the funds of the program team will not be enough." Ichiro Yamachichiro replied with a laugh twice.
"As for the other judge, the chef of 'Chunguotei', Chef Kikuchi." Ichiro Yamado introduced to Li Xiaoran.
It turned out to be her.
Hearing Yamado Ichiro's words, Li Xiaoran was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect that it was also the fruit of the Ten Masters of the Far Moon in the past.
The second seat of the eighty-ninth Yuanyue Ten Masters is now the head chef of the western restaurant 'Chunguo Pavilion', and its own strength has also reached the top level of two-star stars.
However, in the ranking of neon restaurants, Chunguo Pavilion's ranking is not as high as imagined, only three places higher than Li Xiaoran's 'l'.
"Hasn't she come yet?" Li Xiaoran looked at Yamachiichiro and asked, he was a little curious and wanted to see the fruit of Kijiu Zhiyuan.
Let's see what her cooking standards are like.
"Chef Kikuchi arrived yesterday, so you should be resting now, if there are no problems, Li Sang can shoot tomorrow, and about the selection of ingredients for the final championship, Li Sang, you can discuss with Chef Kikuchi, this is all your right." After hearing Li Xiaoran's words, Ichiro Yamado couldn't help but smile and said.
In this show, it can be said that the fate of the contestants is controlled by the chefs who serve as judges.
It doesn't matter what kind of food or ingredients, as well as the style and processing method, it is up to the chef to decide.
Li Xiaoran had already understood the information of the show before coming again, so he didn't show any surprise when he heard Ichiro Yamachichi's words, but just nodded lightly.
"By the way, I don't know if I can borrow the kitchen, but I just came to Ginza and came straight away, and I'm still hungry." Looking at Ichiro Yamado with a smile on his face, Li Xiaoran asked.
"In this way, you don't need Li Sang to cook it yourself, I'll ask the people in the hotel to prepare some food." After hearing Li Xiaoran's words, Ichiro Yamado was slightly stunned and then said.
"No, I'm still more used to making my own food, but aren't the rest of the contestants and the audience in the hotel?" Li Xiaoran refused, and at the same time asked Yamachiichiro with some curiosity.
"Well, because of the secrecy of the chef, they won't be in the hotel until tomorrow morning." Nodding slightly, Michiichiro Yamachijo said.
While talking, Michiichiro Yama led Li Xiaoran towards the kitchen.
Of course, it's not the kitchen in the hotel, but the playing field in the hotel.
The rest of the crew on the side followed curiously, wanting to see Li Xiaoran's cooking skills.
After all, it's a rare thing.
"It's pretty good!" Looking at the food store, as well as the kitchenware in the competition venue, Li Xiaoran praised with a smile of surprise on his face.
It's a little bit worse than the cooking venues in Kyoto, but it's still very good.
At least you have the ingredients you want to see, as well as the kitchenware.
"It's been a long time since I've seen a wok." Looking at the place where the kitchenware was placed on the side, Li Xiaoran's eyes lit up slightly and said with a smile.
Wok, a traditional Chinese cooking tool, has a variety of functions and can be used for frying, steaming, cooking, frying, and various cooking methods.
In some restaurants in France and neon, Li Xiaoran rarely sees this kind of cooking tool, and even in the 'l', if it wasn't for Liu Quansheng's proposal, Li Xiaoran would not have prepared this kind of tool in the restaurant.
Although it has many functions, it also requires a high level of control over the chef's level of skill.
It can be said that the wok is one of the simplest and most complex kitchen utensils.
"Li Sang, you won't mind if we watch it." Ichiro Yamamichi, who was on the side, looked at the people who had poured into the kitchen, and said to Li Xiaoran with a smile.
"Of course, if you want to taste my food, I can satisfy you, but of course not too much, after all, I am a judge." Li Xiaoran nodded lightly.
The people around couldn't help but laugh when they heard Li Xiaoran's words.
But my heart is full of anticipation.
