With the intervention of the Luo and Wu families, the conspiracy of the Xu family to swallow the Mu family distillery naturally did not succeed, and after the Mu family got the shares of the Luo and Wu families, they immediately realized the feeling of "there are people in the court who are easy to do".

The raw material suppliers who hid when they saw them were like a group of wild cats that smelled fishy, and they all gathered around, crying and shouting to provide raw materials to the Mu family, and said that the purchase price that the Mu family reported to them at that time was too high, so that they were ashamed to see them before.

Without the Mu family handing over the quotation to them, they took the initiative to send the wholesale price of their own products, which was three percent lower than the one that the Mu family had reported to them before!

If the sudden change of faces of these suppliers made them feel a little emotional, then those public servants who originally looked like big men changed their smiling faces after learning that they were Mujia Distillery.

A series of things such as checking business licenses, business licenses, health permits, safety production licenses, and land management rights were all done in just one morning, which made Mu Qingfeng, who had been busy for most of the year, begging his grandfather to tell his grandmother to get these documents, a bitter feeling.

For the sake of brand effect, the Mu family finally gave up the naming right of the Mu family distillery after several discussions, and changed the name to "Happy Liquor", only the word "Mu family" was added to the packaging of the Xianxian liquor, which is a kind of commemoration of the ancestors in the past.

After this incident, the Mu family has completely woken up from the glory of the past, and without absolute strength, but still holding on to the glory of the past, then it will only be ruthlessly swallowed up by this society.

Naturally, there is no need to worry about the winery, and because the winery is hanging next to the Fairy Lake, the problem of water intake has been solved.

With the blessing of the Earth Vein Gathering Spirit Array, the water in the Fairy Lake will slowly all contain a trace of spiritual energy, although it is not comparable to the spiritual water in the mountain god space. But it's enough to make a good wine like Xianxian wine.

And as time goes by, this aura will become thicker and thicker, and when it reaches its peak, it will become as full of aura as the spiritual water in the mountain god space.

At the same time, taking advantage of this day's gathering, Happy also distributed a few mountain god talismans to everyone as a gift for the opening of the farm, and blessed others to wear them at all times.

In fact, there is no need for him to say that when everyone saw the exquisite jade ornaments, they already loved it, and they didn't wait to speak happily. He hung the jade pendant on his body.

Seeing that everyone was wearing the jade pendant on their bodies, they were happy and secretly relieved.

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the days of special training have come to an end, and the King of Chef Championship has finally arrived!

There are a total of 34 provincial-level administrative regions in China. The preliminary round of the King of Chefs competition was naturally held in 34 provincial-level administrative regions and lasted for two months. There are four tryouts every month. Every Monday, the two most outstanding chefs are finally selected to go to Jinghua to participate in the final chef competition.

As one of the four municipalities directly under the central government in China, Jinghua City is naturally one of the competition areas, and as the capital of China, it brings together kitchen masters from all over the country, according to incomplete statistics. There are no less than 50 chefs in the city who are from the line of chefs, and they are really strong!

On the eve of the competition, Wu Xiaosong got a list of masters from all parties who participated this time.

This time, Shuibo Liangshan sent three chefs to participate.

Needless to say, Wang Yunjie and Li Jie's apprentices must have participated. And after happy treatment, the old injury on Wang Yunjie's hand has long been healed, and thanks to the blessing of the hand injury, Wang Yunjie has been able to calm down and think about his cooking path over the years. When they learned that Happy was also participating in this year's King Chef Competition, they immediately said that they would compete with Happy again in the arena.

The other one is Tang Deshui, I heard Wu Xiaosong say that he regretted that he couldn't learn from Happy in cooking last time. However, when he heard that Happy had also signed up for the King Chef Contest this time, he was very happy, and told Komatsu that he would meet Happy in the finals! It seems that he is also full of confidence!

In addition, chefs from a number of top hotels such as Jinghua Hilton Hotel, China World Hotel, New Century Shengshi Hotel, and Marriott Hotel also participated in the competition, and according to the list, there are as many as 5,000 chefs participating in the entire Jinghua Division!

The top 100 chefs will be selected by each district through the first month's competition to advance to the semi-finals, and the next two spots will be contested through four competitions in the second month.

According to Wu Xiaosong, there are still few chefs in the Jinghua Division, and there are more than 10,000 chefs in some provinces and cities! Listening happily and waiting for others couldn't help but be speechless.

On the day of the game, Wenren Nianying drove with Old Man Qiu and others to meet with Happy, and Old Man Shangguan also urged Shangguan Feng to come to Happy's house early in the morning, waiting for everyone, and after everyone gathered together, they went to the location of the game together.

According to the registration situation of each district, Jinghua City will divide the preliminary competition into four divisions, each of which will have about 1,200 people, and these people will compete in the next month, and then each district will compete for the top 10 to enter the second month's semi-finals, from which the final two chefs will be competed.

Happy belongs to the fourth competition area located in the university town area, and the competition venue is arranged in the student cafeteria of Beihua University. As for Shuibo Liangshan, several are located in the first division, and I heard that there are many top chefs from top hotels in that division, and the competition is much fiercer than the other three divisions.

According to the event instructions issued in advance, each competition area in Jinghua City will select the top 500 players from 1,200 chefs in the first two rounds of the preliminary round, then select the top 200 players from these 500 in the third competition, and then select the top 100 players from the 200 in the fourth game to enter the semi-finals in the second month.

Happy was scheduled for the first game of the preliminary round.

When Xingxing and the others came to the student cafeteria of Beihua University, the outside of the cafeteria was already full of chefs who came to compete, and they roughly estimated that there were 600 chefs present in the first preliminary competition.

According to the description of the event, at least two hundred and fifty players must be selected for this preliminary round, which is corresponding. There will be about 350 players who will be eliminated here.

Happy was keenly aware of a kind of hostility and vigilance secretly breeding in the crowd, even if it was two people who had known each other for many years, while talking with a smile, there was also a trace of vigilance and jealousy in their eyes.

"Yo, isn't this Master Wang of Zhenbao Zhai? I didn't hear that you were also participating in this King Chef Competition! Next to him, a thin middle-aged man in a Chinese-style Tang costume greeted the man opposite with a warm face.

"Huh? It turned out to be Master Chen from the Zhiwei Restaurant, I didn't expect you to come too! The other party obviously didn't expect to meet him here, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

The two seem to have known each other for a long time, and they met here. Naturally, there was a burst of greetings, and after talking for a while, the Master Chen said seemingly casually: "You always seem to have come prepared this time, did you prepare any unique skills?" ”

When Master Chen said this, Happy clearly felt that the people around him who were originally chatting suddenly appeared in unison for a moment. Soon there was a return to normal, but everyone's ears were turned sideways.

Nervous, vigilant. Even if it's small talk, don't give up asking about the opponents around you. This is a state of mind for the crowd at this time.

"What's going on?" Qiu Yin on the side frowned, this atmosphere of mutual vigilance and mutual vigilance was completely different from the scene when he was in the game!

The meaning of the King of Chef Competition is not to compete for hegemony, but to learn and communicate with each other, but now, Qiu Yin doesn't feel any atmosphere of friendly exchange!

That Master Wang seems to be a good person. Facing Master Chen's inquiry, he suddenly said with a smile: "What can I do, it's just to play soy sauce and have a long experience." But Master Chen, you. I heard that you've been practicing your sword skills lately, and it seems that you want to make a splash in this competition! ”

Master Wang's continuous beating suddenly made everyone focus on Master Chen, which immediately provoked Master Chen to complain secretly, and couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have provoked this Master Wang.

Fortunately, before Chef Chen could answer, the head of the competition announced that the competition was about to start, and then led the chefs into the competition.

The student cafeteria of Beihua University is a large canteen with a vast space of more than 3,000 square meters, so even if there are nearly 1,000 people squeezed here, it still does not feel a trace of crowding.

"Everyone, be quiet, and then the host will announce the rules and content of the competition," a middle-aged man with a shiny face stood on the makeshift rostrum with a big belly, and after talking with the microphone, he handed over the right to speak to a young and beautiful host.

The hostess read out the rules of the competition in a clear and pleasant voice, and then reminded: "In the next time, you will be divided into six groups to compete in cooking skills. ”

The contestants in the audience stood solemnly and quietly listened to the hostess's speech.

"The final ranking of this competition will be determined by adding the scores of the following three rounds."

"This first round is a knife competition. As the so-called three-point cooking and seven-point knife work, for a chef, knife work is the basic skill necessary for every chef, and it is also the standard to measure whether a chef can become a senior chef. In the first round of the competition, each participant will be assigned the same ingredient and a variety of knives, and the contestants must process the ingredients according to the requirements of the competition within a certain period of time, and we will score the knife skills presented by the final presentation of the ingredients. ”

"In the second round, it's better than hand-to-hand work. Each contestant will be given more than a dozen seasonings before the round, during which the judges will randomly report the amount of a seasoning they need, which will then be removed from the saucer with a long-handled spoon. I would like to emphasize that once the spoon has left the plate, it is not allowed to add or remove seasonings, and if any contestant is found to have violated this rule, they will be disqualified from the competition! ”

"The third round, than the palate. Each contestant will be given a plate of soup that has already been concocted, and you must distinguish the seasoning mixed in the soup within the allotted time, and the more you can distinguish and the more detailed it is, the higher your score! ”

As the person in charge of the competition area reported the content of the three rounds of the competition one by one, the faces of the contestants became more and more solemn, and they were even more shocked when they heard the content of the last round of the competition.

Many chefs who had already participated in the previous competition were even more stunned to find that the difficulty level of this preliminary round was comparable to the difficulty of the previous semi-finals, or even surpassed!

Obviously, because of the joint provocation of France, Italy and Japan, the Chinese Chef Association has also moved the real fire, and wants to select ten new chefs with superb skills to give them a head start through this competition!

"This is the end of the first round of the preliminary round, and in fifteen minutes we will start the first group of competitions, and the contestants whose names are called will be asked to follow our volunteers to take their seats." (To be continued......)
