Thanks to Hezhou 1218, playing chess with the princess, and shewg three fishermen for their encouragement!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Jiangbian and Yan Yuan also came to the scene of the opening ceremony early, but they didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance when they arrived at the door.

Yuan Wenguang also came to the scene with the chef in his store, and saw Yan Yuan at a glance, and greeted him very warmly, "Oh, Yan Yuan, I was really surprised to see you here, I think with the influence of your store, there should be no chance to enter the finals directly, but only from the qualifiers." A scene like today's shouldn't have anything to do with you, right? ”

Yan Yuan laughed, "Doesn't this like to watch the excitement?" It's also nice to come and see all kinds of faces. For example, isn't it interesting to look at Brother Yuan's mouth running a carriage, and his face changes like magic? ”

Yuan Wenguang was very surprised that Yan Yuan was so hearty, but for the cooking competition, Yuan Wenguang still felt very superior, "Hehe, you can be happy first, after the cooking competition, see if you can still be happy?" Hey, this friend is a little blind, is it the chef of your fish restaurant? ”

Yuan Wenguang looked the riverside up and down, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.

"I found that you Yuan Wenguang's vision is really good! He's the current chef of our Fish Flavor Restaurant, and the last time you tried so hard to steal the secret soup, he made it. Yan Yuan smiled.

"He? How can it be? Hehe, I understand, it turns out that he is another guy who gnaws on the capital of his ancestors! Yuan Wenguang said with a smile.

He glanced back at Fei Qishui and said, "Chef, I still admire Master Fei, a master chef who has steadily developed through his own efforts and talents, those who eat the ancestral rice will eat it sooner or later, and in the end there will be nothing to eat!" ”

Jiangbian smiled, "If you don't have to eat, you don't have to eat, people in our countryside can earn so much, and they can eat and drink well for a lifetime, but they don't have to steal chickens and dogs like some people!" ”

"You!" Yuan Wenguang really has no way to take the riverside.

"Wait and see! I think you'll have a chance to play in the first round of qualifiers! Yuan Wenguang sneered.

"I said you have a good eye, do you really think you have a good eye? You don't want to think about it, if it weren't for the opportunity to directly participate in the finals, I, Yan Yuan, would come over today? Yan Yuan smiled, "Brother, let's go, talking to such a person is just disappointing me!" ”

Yuan Wenguang was very surprised, and looked at Yan Yuan and Jiangbian's backs in a daze, "How could they have an invitation to directly participate in the finals?" If it weren't for Master Fei's relationship, we wouldn't have been able to get two invitations! ”

"Maybe he's gone for some of the relationship! Although there are not many invitations, not everyone is so rare! As far as I know, there are a few that have received invitations but do not intend to participate. The fame of the people has already been made, and there is no need to participate in such competitions again. Only those newcomers can count on such an opportunity to become famous! Fei Qishui said.

"Well, that's how it should be. What if you have an invitation? Even if he reaches the finals, he always relies on one dish and one flavor, and it is impossible to achieve much success. Amazing to make it to the top thirty-two. Yuan Wenguang said.

Jiangbian and Yan Yuan were not interested in entangling with Yuan Wenguang anymore, and the two of them walked into the venue quickly.

"Hello sir, may I ask where you are?" The guide beauty of the venue walked up and asked.

Yan Yuan took out the ticket and handed it to the guide beauty.

"Please go that way!" The guide beauty stretched out her hand to the right and said.

Yan Yuan said, "Beauty, thank you!" Brother, let's go!"

There were a lot of people in the venue, and Jiangbian and Yan Yuan had not walked far before they had disappeared into the crowd.

At this time, Li Yueji and Xiao Yalin happened to walk in.

"Sister Arlinn, there are so many people here today! I thought that not many people would pay attention to such a cooking competition! Li Yueji said.

"You are mistaken, although young people don't pay much attention to it, but those who are engaged in cooking, as well as those middle-aged and elderly people, are very fond of it. Don't you know that cooking is also a very popular show on TV shows? Xiao Yalin smiled.

"Let's go, the opening ceremony is about to begin, let's find our place quickly!" Xiao Yalin looked at Li Yueji who was looking around and said.

Li Yueji saw a back from a distance that was very familiar, and he couldn't confirm it after watching it a few times, and Xiao Yalin was urging again. Li Yueji looked there a few times in three steps, but the figure had already disappeared into the crowd.

"See an acquaintance?" Xiao Yalin asked.

"I don't know, it looks like an acquaintance, but I didn't see it clearly, I don't know if it's right?" Li Yueji said.

"Fool, there are many people who look alike, do you know which one?" Xiao Yalin pulled Li Yueji and walked to the left.

At this moment, Jiang Bian and Yan Yuan walked out of the crowd, and then looked for their place in the row of seats on the right.

On the other side, Li Yueji and Xiao Yalin happened to walk through the crowd in the aisle.

After more than half an hour, the seats in the venue were basically full, and the VIPs on the rostrum began to take their seats one after another.

As the vice president of the Qiantang Culinary Association, Man Chengde will naturally appear on the rostrum. Because many of the senior leaders of the Culinary Art Association are retired old cadres from the past, the city still attaches great importance to such activities, and this opening ceremony came with a deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and a deputy mayor. Representatives of the National People's Congress, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and other departments also came to cheer the ceremony.

Such a scene made Jiangbian feel extremely boring, and it was simply a sin to sit there. After finishing elementary school by the riverside, he began to live an unrestrained life, never sitting honestly for hours somewhere. Although fishing requires a very good endurance, there is too much difference between a meeting and fishing, or it is simply incomparable.

When fishing, it is necessary to be quiet, but there is something worth waiting for, there is the surprise of catching the fish, there is also the fun of fighting with the fish, and there is a very comfortable environment.

But in the venue, there were only noisy sounds, buzzing noises, occasional phone ringing, clichéd lines on stage, and feeble applause from the audience.

"Now I announce that the 12th Qiantang City Cooking Competition is the opening!" When the city leaders said a lot of words without oil and salt, they finally announced the official opening of the cooking competition, and the venue resounded with unprecedented warm applause.

"It seems that I'm not the only one who doesn't like to hear reports. At the beginning, they were still lifeless, but as soon as they heard what they were talking about, they came to God! ”

"Next, I would like to invite the 16 contestants who participated in today's on-site qualifiers to enter the cooking demonstration area and perform cooking performances for the audience present. We have arranged several areas at the venue for on-site cooking competitions, and those who are interested can go to each area to watch. I won't say more, now I invite the players to come in.

There weren't many chefs who actually came to the venue to participate in the preliminaries, and due to the large number of people who signed up, it was definitely not enough to accommodate them at the venue. On the day of the opening ceremony, there were only a dozen or so people who competed on the spot, and these dozen or so chefs had a certain level.

Although Jiangbian did not have much interest in the opening ceremony, he was still quite interested in the live cooking performance.

After the meeting, Jiangbian did not act with Yan Yuan, but observed it alone in various exhibition areas.

The players in the No. 1 exhibition area are not very old, they look like they are thirty years old, and their knife skills are very scratchy. It seemed to be a bit of a show, but it won the applause of the crowd watching the scene.

"This cooking is really good! The one-handed knife technique is simply superb, and at a young age, it's really good! "God! God! I don't know which chef it is, but this time it will definitely become an instant hit! ”

The crowd of onlookers was amazed. But no one thought that this cooking was after all about the control of ingredients, not an acrobat or a magician. No matter how wonderful the knife performance is, the final examination is still the dishes you cook, such as color, aroma, and taste.

No one noticed that the judges on the side frowned into a Sichuan character when they saw the young chef showing off his knife skills.

Jiangbian compared himself, and felt that he couldn't use this knife technique, and it was not necessary. You can't cut the vegetables more finely, you can't make the dishes taste more delicious, you just want to earn some applause.

After watching it for a while, Ebebe lost interest, even though the contestant had been tirelessly demonstrating his dazzling knife work.

The contestant at the second booth was a bit older, sixty or seventy years old, and was an amateur. Although the knife work cannot be compared with that of a professional chef, it is meticulous and fully in line with the true meaning of cooking.

Cooking is a business that requires people to devote themselves to it, because the products they make will immediately enter the mouths of their customers, friends or loved ones. There will be a lot of things that condense the maker, and there is a sense of responsibility, sincerity, and love in it.

Although the old man's cooking skills are not high, his cooking skills are excellent. Because he gave his heart.

Seeing this, Jiangbian seemed to have an understanding, and at the same time remembered a person who used to be like an old man, so devoted to making a meal that was not very delicious.

After the old man finished the cooking show, the two experts of the judges immediately said, "We don't have to taste this dish!" Heartfelt dishes are some of the most delicious dishes in the world. We unanimously decided that Shen Lao directly advanced to the finals! The audience may be a little puzzled, why not taste it, we will make this decision. Here I will explain, of course, wait a minute, I still have to taste the dishes made by Shen Lao. I feel lucky to be able to eat such a well-made food! The preparation and processing of a dish is still very different from a product. It's not just a work, it's a dish that has a lot going into it.

When you make a dish for your lover, there will always be affection in it! The dishes made for the elderly will be full of filial piety! Make a dish for your child, and it will be full of love! When you make a dish for your customers, there is a responsibility in it! This is true cooking, and I think cooking is not something that can be summed up simply by the color and aroma.
