Man Chengde took a small piece of fish and put it in his mouth, then closed his eyes slightly and savored the taste of the fish.

Everyone held their breath and carefully observed Manchengde's expression, lest they miss the most important expression.

It took a long time for Man Chengde to open his eyes, his expression was very relaxed, he looked around with a smile, and bowed slightly.

"Grandpa, what does this smell like? You have something to say! Manqing asked eagerly.

Man Chengde said with a haha, "Hahaha, don't worry, don't worry! Okay, so I'll talk about the taste. First of all, I would like to thank the little chef for cooking such delicious food for me. ”

Seeing Man Chengde say this, the up and down of the fish flavor restaurant naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

Man Chengde continued, "This taste is indeed excellent, to be honest, I am more delicious, but I am ashamed that although I claim to have eaten all the Chinese food, it is the first time I have eaten such delicious food." ”

Manchengde's evaluation has pushed the level of the fish restaurant to the top, but everyone still wants to hear what Manchengde has a specific evaluation of this pure fish.

Sure enough, Man Chengde continued, "The chef of this pure fish has blended the flavor to the extreme, and the small amount of garlic and a little shredded ginger in it looks inconspicuous, but the effect is just right, and it plays the role of the finishing touch."

Our ancestors found ingredients that could be seasoned from the herbs, and these onions, garlic, ginger, spicy and other condiments, each of which has been tempered over the years, can be said to be the essence of Chinese cuisine, but it is the most easily overlooked. Never studied these condiments in detail and how they are used.

But today, I'm here to meet a person who can use these humble condiments smartly. In addition to adding salt, this fish is full of natural seasonings, so it tastes very mellow, and it is appropriate to call it a pure taste. ”

The crowd at the fish restaurant and the onlookers applauded.

"Wait, I'll try it too, and see if this change in the pure flavor fish at the bottom has improved or regressed!" Manqing said that she was a little worried that her grandfather had never eaten pure fish, and although the taste had regressed, he couldn't taste it.

Man Qing quickly took a piece of fish from the bowl and put it in his mouth, savoring it, the taste of this fish is a little different from before, but it is not a regression, but the taste is fuller, soft and fragrant, long and long. The taste has improved again!

Man Qing nodded and said with a smile, "Mmmm, it's really improved!" ”

"From the old man's evaluation, it can also be seen that the old man is really an expert in food, and on behalf of all the staff of the fish restaurant, I would like to thank the old man for his high evaluation." Yan Yuan said.

Jiangbian also had a smile on his face, and his first attempt was recognized, indicating that these days of hard work have not been in vain.

Waiting for the crowd to disperse, Man Chengde suddenly remembered something, "I don't know if the chef of this fish restaurant has participated in this cooking competition, if he does, there will be no problem at all to win the ranking." That young man, he is very skilled in knife work, although his cooking skills are a little tender, but this culinary spirit is really enviable, if he can continue to study, he will definitely be a benchmark in the culinary industry in the future! ”

"Grandpa, I haven't seen you speak so highly of others!" Manqing said.

"This fish is really well done! At first, I thought you were bragging to your friend, but I didn't expect it to be really good. Manchengde said.

"What friend? I don't know them at all! Manqing said.

"Unfamiliar? I just saw that you see that little chef with affection, is it unfamiliar? Manchengde laughed.

"Hey, I'm too lazy to argue with your old idea! The last time I came here for an interview, I stumbled upon the fact that the taste of this fish restaurant is really good, and the person I wanted to interview was actually the chef of this fish restaurant. Manqing said.

"The first time you went out on the field?" Manchengde asked.

Man Qing nodded, and Man Qing then told Man Chengde carefully about what he was talking about. Then he laughed, "Now you know what I have to do with them, right?" ”

"You're not going to advertise them in the news because they're giving them benefits, are you?" Man Chengde laughed. He naturally knew that his granddaughter would not do such a thing.

"The benefits? Every time I came here, I paid for it, and I didn't even enjoy a priority. Man Qing glanced at Man Chengde with disdain.

"Well, this is my good granddaughter of Man Chengde!" Man Chengde said with some pride.

But after a while, Man Chengde said with some disappointment, "Alas! I thought you had a good relationship with that little chef! If that's the case, I'm in for a treat! ”

"No, it won't! Grandpa, you're not going to sell your granddaughter in the blink of an eye just to feast on your food, are you? Manqing said.

"The young man has a very spiritual surname, but it's a pity that he is a chef!" Manchengde sighed again.

"What's wrong again?" Man Qing asked puzzled.

"Hehe, you little girl should also find a boyfriend, I'm still waiting to hug my great-grandson!" Manchengde said.

Man Qing naturally understood the meaning of Man Chengde's words, and said with a smile, "You have a long life, just wait slowly!" ”

"Well, by the way, you will ask me later, did that young man sign up for the cooking competition?" Manchengde said.

"Okay, I'll ask when I've eaten enough, maybe we can eat and drink for nothing!" Man Qing said with a smile.

"Okay, wait a minute, you go and ask them for a free order!" Man Chengde laughed.

"That's not going to work! When I came today, I said that you paid for it, and I want to **also be you, the vice president of the Culinary Association**! Manqing smiled.

Man Qing and Man Chengde were like children, competing for the fish in the bowl, and they ate with relish.

After even the fish soup was drunk into his stomach, Man Qing stood up and walked to the kitchen.

"Hey, chef, do you have anything special about cutting this dough?" Man Qing walked to the kitchen, but saw Jiangbian cutting dough there seriously, thinking that it was a new dish.

"Ugh! Practice your swordsmanship. "Jiangbian told the truth.

Man Qing is still dedicated to this riverside, and he still practices his knife skills diligently when he becomes a chef, "Oh, you have become a chef, and you still use knife practice?" ”

"Well, Yiduo doesn't press down!" Ebebe laughed. The chefs around couldn't help but laugh too.

Man Qing didn't know what they were laughing at, but fortunately he didn't forget his business, "By the way, have you signed up for this cooking competition?" ”

"It's reported! Otherwise," Jiangbian hurriedly shut up. Originally, he wanted to say, otherwise why would he be so desperate?

Man Qing was in a hurry to tell his grandfather the news, but he didn't pay attention to the unfinished words by the river.

"Wait a minute, I'll tell you again!" After that, he left in a hurry.

Jiang Bian looked up at Man Qing's back, and then buried his head in practicing the knife technique.

"Master! Eighty percent of this beauty has taken a fancy to you. You see that every time she comes to our fish restaurant, how often does she not come to the kitchen to see you make pure fish? Shi Junyong said. After Shi Junyong's last incident, it was found that he was not involved in the theft of the secret soup, so he was naturally not purged.

"People didn't come for me, they came for the fish! Fainted, am I not as good as that pure fish? As he spoke, he laughed himself.

After a while, Man Qing walked in again and said to the riverside, "That, little master, I have an invitation letter from the Culinary Association here, and with this invitation, you can directly enter the finals of the cooking competition." Comparatively speaking, the finals are more objective. ”

Due to the excessive power of the referee in the qualifiers, it is inevitable that there will be some unfair phenomena, and those with average cooking skills will be eliminated, and those with good cooking skills will be eliminated. Since the Culinary Association is originally a very loose social organization, even if it is known that this happens, there is no way to eliminate it because these people are relatively hidden.

In order to make some good seedlings stand out, the Culinary Association has reserved some invitations for chefs who are good at cooking but cannot directly enter the final group.

These invitations are issued by the senior management of the Culinary Association, and are also used for the operation of the Association and for the care of people with special relationships.

As the vice president of the Culinary Association, Manchengde naturally has a certain number of invitation letters, and naturally has the authority to issue them. In fact, it is impossible for any community to be free from the tilting of interests, and to the present, a compromise has actually been formed between each high-level executive.

Man Chengde is a very upright person, but there is no way to deal with these situations, and people who have retired from officialdom have long been accustomed to this situation, and naturally there are ways to deal with it.

Jiang Bian was a little surprised to take the invitation from Man Qing's hand, and looked at it, only to find that the invitee column on the invitation letter was empty.

"You just fill in your name, then find a registration office, register, and you're good to go. You can rest assured, as long as you have this number, you will be guaranteed to enter the finals directly. Manqing said.

"Thank you so much!" Jiangbe said. Although Jiang Bian didn't know the way in this, he knew that this invitation was not so easy to obtain.

"No thanks, you have what it takes to make it to the finals, but if you go to the qualifiers, you won't necessarily make it. It's a great injustice for you! My grandfather was a member of the Culinary Association, and he didn't want to see a culinary genius like you not be able to participate in such a competition. It is also a great loss for the cooking competition. Manqing said.

******

Xiao Yalin, who has an invitation letter, naturally does not have to worry about the qualification for the finals like Jiangbian. But it doesn't mean that Xiao Yalin can relax, in fact, she is even more ruthless than Jiangbian to prepare for a game.

Li Yueji was extremely worried about Xiao Yalin's desperate efforts, "Sister Arlinn, your cooking skills are already quite good, and in terms of fish and dishes, it is second to none in Qiantang City." I think as long as you play normally, you won't have a problem winning the championship. ”

"Yueji, you're wrong, I didn't participate in the cooking competition to win a championship! For me, ranking is not the most important thing, as long as I can improve my cooking skills and learn more advanced cooking skills, even if I am the first from the bottom, I am willing. Xiao Yalin said.

"In the future, if you simply marry a husband who knows how to cook, or simply marry someone who is better than you, then you will be happy! But those who are better at cooking than you are afraid that most of them are old men, right? Li Yueji quipped.
