Chapter 160: Return
"Chef Yoshida?"
Li Xiaoran was stunned, looking at Yoshida Liang who was standing in front of him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I'm just here to thank Li Sang, if there is a chance in the future, I want to have a private cooking duel with Li San again, using Yoshidaya's real cuisine!" Yoshida Liang said with a serious face.
With Yoshida's words, the shutter sound of the surrounding cameras kept ringing.
The reporters were excited, they had already thought of tomorrow's headline, this is exciting news!
However, unlike those unknown onlookers, Li Xiaoran clearly understood what Yoshida Liang meant by this sentence, and nodded with a smile on his face: "Of course, I am waiting for you at any time." ”
Looking at Yoshida Liang who was leaving, a group of reporters who couldn't see Li Xiaoran rushing towards him, while the rest of the reporters frantically put the microphone towards Li Xiaoran's side.
"How do you feel about 'L'''s victory?"
"Did you anticipate such an outcome in the first place?"
In the face of these reporters' questions, Li Xiaoran did not say a word.
At this time, it's better not to talk too much, although because of the cooking organization and their own identity, those reporters don't dare to take things out of context too much.
didn't let Li Xiaoran wait long, the person in charge of the cooking agency had already come here and drove all the reporters away, these reporters didn't dare to offend the cooking agency.
"Congratulations." After most of the people left the stadium, Erina Nagikiri and Kojiro Shinomiya walked down from the stands and said to Li Xiaoran.
"What's there to congratulate you on, it's no good at all." Pouting, Li Xiaoran said.
This kind of competition is simply thankless, there is no benefit at all, and as a challenge, I can't help but accept the challenge for the reputation of the restaurant, which is really a bit inhumane.
Listening to Li Xiaoran's complaints, the people on the side nodded in agreement, and the intensity was too great, for some small restaurants with kitchen workers, it would be good to just admit defeat.
"Yes, there are too many loopholes in this rule, and we have actually considered removing this challenge before." Just as Li Xiaoran and the others were discussing, they saw a middle-aged man in a black suit walking over from the stands.
Mashi Ikeda, the head of the Neon Kyoto Cuisine Agency.
"It's not okay to cancel it, after all, there is competition to develop better, but the rules need to be better improved, and the current rules are too unfair to the challenged restaurants, and some smaller restaurants." Li Xiaoran nodded lightly and said to Ikeda Zhen.
The current rules of the Open Restaurant Challenge are simply too unfair to these restaurants.
Half of the time the restaurant is challenged, it must accept the challenge, otherwise the reputation will be damaged, which is simply a kind of slow destruction for the restaurant.
Winning after accepting the challenge will naturally increase your reputation a lot, but if you lose, the consequences will be devastating.
Although the challenger loses, there will be a loss of reputation, but because of the difference in position, the impact is much less.
And this rule is too inhumane for some smaller-scale star-rated restaurants.
Hearing Li Xiaoran's analysis one by one, Ikeda couldn't help but nod in agreement, these things are the reasons why their cooking organization wanted to abolish this public restaurant challenge before, but because some things have been dragging it out, and in recent years, no restaurant has proposed to exercise such a power, so it has been dragged down.
It wasn't until Yoshidaya challenged 'L' this time that they took it seriously again.
"We will absorb the opinions of major star restaurants and make adjustments in the end." Hearing Li Xiaoran's words, Ikeda nodded slightly.
Adjusting some rules and so on completely independently, the cooking organization still has no way to do it itself, and it is necessary to listen to the opinions of most restaurants.
If the majority agrees, the cooking organization will make changes, but if the majority disagrees, then there is no way to do it, so let's just leave it as it was.
After a few brief words, Ikeda left, after all, there were still many things to deal with in the cooking organization.
"How did you discover that sake and honey can make duck meat more delicious?" After the others left, Erina Nagikiri looked at Li Xiaoran and asked.
"It's not just duck! The other side dishes are designed to highlight the flavor of the duck meat, but the flavor of the side dishes is perfectly combined with the sweetness of the sake and honey, making it a perfect course meal, like a textbook pairing. Kojiro Shinomiya pushed his eyes and said slowly.
Hearing Kojiro Shinomiya's evaluation, Alice, Kohei Chuangzhen and others on the side just felt that Li Xiaoran was very powerful.
However, Hinata and Fuyumi Mizuhara, who knew the character of Kojiro Shinomiya well, showed an extremely surprised look on their faces.
Being able to make Kojiro Shinomiya give such an evaluation is no longer the so-called optimism, but a real recognition of Li Xiaoran's strength, and the combination of this set meal really makes Kojiro Shinomiya recognize.
Hearing Shinomiya Kojiro's words, Li Xiaoran's face showed a trace of helplessness: "Actually, after I returned to 'L', I have been asking Liu and them to experiment, including honey, lemon juice, pineapple juice and various ingredients, we have experimented, but the final product has not achieved the effect I expected." ”
After a pause and looking at the curiosity on everyone's faces, Li Xiaoran smiled slightly: "In the end, it was Liu Quansheng who accidentally found that sake and honey were smeared on the surface of the duck meat, and then put it in the oven for baking, so that the taste of the duck meat in the end would be very wonderful, and the fragrance of the sake and the sweetness of the honey and the taste of the duck itself were perfectly combined." ”
Looking at the people present, Li Xiaoran said with a smile: "Okay, let's go back to the restaurant first, if the restaurant is not open today, let me entertain you well." ”
After hearing Li Xiaoran's words, everyone's faces couldn't help but show a hint of surprise and cheered.
"We're not going, you know, we all have restaurants to take care of." Kojiro Shinomiya and the others on the side said to Li Xiaoran.
Qianhi Xiangzi and the others all have restaurants to take care of, and this time they came to the scene only because they really had a very good relationship with Li Xiaoran, so they came to support him.
But now that Li Xiaoran has won the game, they naturally won't stay here in Kyoto, after all, they all have their own restaurants to take care of.
Li Xiaoran could also understand, and nodded lightly at the moment: "I know, then you have time to get together." ”
After leaving the cooking establishment, Li Xiaoran and the others returned to 'L' by car, while Kojiro Shinomiya and the others went to the Shinkansen.
"Li Sang is really amazing, I heard that Li Sang was just an ordinary one-star chef before." Qianhi asked Kojiro Shinomiya with a curious look on his face.
"Well, the speed at which he's grown is truly astonishing." Nodding slightly, Kojiro Shinomiya responded.
Even if it's not the first time I've sighed, every time I think of Kojiro Shinomiya, I'm still extremely surprised by Li Xiaoran's improvement in cooking level.
"In this world, there really is such an existence as a genius!" Hinata whimpered and rubbed her face with both hands.
"Aren't we geniuses in the eyes of others?" Mizuhara Fuyumi on the side smiled slightly and said.
In their eyes, Li Xiaoran is a genius, but in front of ordinary chefs, why aren't they? (To be continued.) )
