Chapter 32: Determination

If Yuan Chengde is not a representative of China for various reasons, then Li Haoying should be the only symbol of the contemporary Chinese chef world in the world, as long as it is mentioned as a Chinese chef, any foreigner will think of him, and even in China, some people who don't care much about this have heard of this name.

Perhaps such an introduction is still too abstract, then, to make the most appropriate analogy, what is the status of Jiro Ono in Japan, and what status is Li Haoying in China! China's largest and most authoritative newspaper, China Daily, once did an interview, with a big headline of only two words, national treasure!

Gong Baorou's eyes were wide open, and her face was red with excitement.

was able to invite Master Li Haoying, Gong Baorou felt that all the changes made by the organizing committee before were forgivable!

Li Haoying was respectfully invited to the stage, he himself was not a proud person, but very modest, and kept nodding and smiling at the people who came up to greet him.

Gong Baorou can see more clearly in the background, but there are too many people around, and she can't wait to become a giraffe or a snake and get into it.

"Okay, please be quiet, we can feel everyone's excitement, but Master Li Haoying can't stand such a toss from you." The host spoke into the microphone several times before he could barely suppress the boiling crowd, and everyone also knew that Master Li Haoying was old, so he quickly dispersed. Gong Baorou saw that Sun Fugui had long been surrounded by Sun Fugui, and now she invited Li Haoying to her position very respectfully, and then sat down.

Master doesn't have any intention of complaining now, does he? Gong Baorou couldn't help laughing in her heart, Sun Fugui was very dissatisfied before.

Gong Baorou's admiration for Li Haoying is not an illusory admiration, but a real admiration. She had the honor to talk with Master Li Haoying a few words, to be honest, the most important thing for a person is temperament, profound cultural accumulation, cooking skills that have reached the peak, and the way of dealing with people, all of which reflect the demeanor and quality of a generation of masters, and just a few words of teaching, have given Gong Baorou great help. Just like the extreme admiration of the female writer Su Xuelin for Hu Shi during the Republic of China, Gong Baorou also regarded Li Haoying as a god-like being.

Li Haoying is now in her prime, her sparse gray hair has been carefully combed, she is wearing a Mao suit, her back is slightly bent, and she looks very energetic. He coughed into the microphone and spoke with a full breath.

"First of all, it's an honor to be invited here to be one of the judges here, which shows that I, an old man, am still very popular." Li Haoying made a joke to ease the atmosphere a little, "I heard that this is a newcomer selection competition, this is very good, the next generation is always the most important, if we want China's chef industry to continue to thrive, we must maintain our heritage, and I hope that more and more talented chefs can be discovered by us." Finally, I hope that every young contestant will have a bright future! ”

The audience applauded thunderously, Gong Baorou couldn't help but applaud desperately, and her palms turned red.

"If you see it, I will be like this in the future!" The ghostly voice sounded around her again, and Gong Baorou's heart suddenly chuckled.

Thinking of Sun Fugui's words before, Xiao Wenye is a newcomer to Haicheng Hotel this time, but he didn't come to participate in the first few times, why did he encounter such a good thing when he came? Is it a coincidence? She didn't believe it! Thinking about it again, Xiao Wenye can be said to be the most eye-catching and famous player in this selection competition, except for him, she can't think of who Master Li Haoying will pay attention to.

Seeing Gong Baorou turn his head to look at him, Xiao Wenye showed a sly smile, and there was not only mockery in the smile, but also a trace of contempt.

You also understand, Master Lee Young-ho can only come for me!

Gong Baorou understood his unspoken meaning for a moment, and then there was a thick disbelief and anger.

It's up to you? No way!

If at the beginning, Gong Baorou just wanted to experience and exercise herself in the tryouts, then now she has only one thought in her heart.

To win, to win, and to win perfectly!

Since it was said that it was a rookie selection competition, many of them were fledgling chefs, and Gong Baorou did not find the talent that made her shine, perhaps because of the excitement and nervousness, several chefs actually made some mistakes that people who are not chefs would not make, such as getting sugar and salt wrong......

Gong Baorou had been observing Master Li Haoying's expression, and from some subtle places, she could tell that he was already disappointed.

I always thought that the game passed too slowly, but now I think how can time go so fast? The first day came to an end quickly, with some getting excited and some frustrated. Gong Baorou was full of hope and wanted to fight for her life, but she didn't know when, Sun Fugui came to her side.

"Master, I'm ......"

"I'll talk about it later." Sun Fugui's voice was not full of joy as expected, but a little worried. Gong Baorou thought about it and obediently followed him into the car.

When he got to the car, as soon as the door closed, Sun Fugui showed a little tiredness.

"What's wrong, Master?" Gong Baorou asked.

Sun Fugui smiled bitterly: "We made a mistake this time, do you know what I heard?" Without waiting for Gong Baorou to answer, Sun Fugui closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and said quickly, "Master Li Haoying is indeed here for Xiao Wenye this time, Xiao Wenye's grandfather is also a chef, and he has had a gentleman's friendship with Li Haoying, and the relationship is okay, Xiao Wenye's father died early, leaving Xiao Wenkang and Xiao Wenye as a pair of brothers, Xiao Wenkang has no talent in cooking, but Xiao Wenye is a famous chef now, so Xiao Wenye's grandfather asked Master Li Haoying, came to see if it was possible for Xiao Wenye to follow him to learn cooking, Master Li Haoying thought that his old friend only had such a successor, so he agreed. ”

"So, this time we can only say that we have met with bad luck. obviously has a big opportunity, but it can't fall on his head. ”

Gong Baorou looked at Sun Fugui sighing, but couldn't help laughing.

"Master, why do you think so? Do you look down on me like that? ”

When Sun Fugui heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at Gong Baorou: "Huh? ”

"I don't think it's bad luck." If she was hesitant at the beginning, then now she has made up her mind and goes all out to win this opportunity, "Why don't you think about it like this, in the past tryouts, I have never invited such a master, but this time I participated, isn't this the will of God?" Since this opportunity has been given to me, I will seize it no matter what. ”

Sun Fugui's face still had a look of hesitation, and he just smiled reluctantly: "I believe in you." ”

"No, you don't believe it." Gong Baorou raised her eyebrows, revealing a maturity beyond her age, "Do you think I will definitely lose to Xiao Wenye, just because of Master Li Haoying's little affection for his grandfather." It's just that, Master, have you ever thought that although Master Li Haoying promised Xiao Wenye's grandfather to come and see, did he definitely accept him as an entry? Let's not talk about Xiao Wenye's cooking skills for the time being, Master Li Haoying has not accepted apprentices for nearly 20 years, and he has not taken a fancy to so many talented and talented chefs, Xiao Wenye is just a little hairy child, can he let the master accept him as an apprentice just by virtue of a little friendship from the previous generation? ”

This sentence was clear and coherent, which made Sun Fugui thoughtful and not so depressed.

"It's like a tug-of-war, and now at most, the rope is slightly biased in favor of Xiao Wenye before the start of the competition, but I believe that it will be me who wins in the end." Gong Baorou raised her head, revealing a little pride. It's like after countless years, Gong Baorou, the high-spirited female chef in her twenties, is now revealing her own elegance on a more youthful and immature body.
