Chapter 18: Is He Crazy?!
When the team of the Earl of Jiannan arrived at the central square of Jiannan City, it was already crowded with people, at least tens of thousands of people had gathered.
The arrival of Jian Nanbo and his entourage immediately attracted everyone's attention.
To be precise, many people's eyes are directed at Chen Ruoxi.
When they saw Chen Ruoxi sitting on the back of a horse with a man, they instantly fried the pot.
", who is riding a horse with Chen Ruoxi, the first beauty in Jiannan City, Lao Tzu is going to chop him?!"
"If I'm not mistaken, that kid should be a fool of the Earl's Court!"
"Is there any heavenly reason, that stupid son actually rode a horse with the first beauty?!"
Many men present cast hateful glances at Chen Lingxiao.
If his gaze could kill, he would have been killed.
The charm of the first goddess is really extraordinary.
"Ruoxi, help me, I feel like a lot of people want to kill me!" Chen Lingxiao shrank into the other party's arms, and there was a frightened expression on his face.
Chen Ruoxi's pretty face was cold: "Ling Xiao, if you do this again, I will throw you down!"
"Just kidding, don't be angry!" Chen Lingxiao said with a bright smile.
At this time, he rarely got serious, looked at the crowd of black oppression, and asked: "The Jiannan City Cooking Competition is so lively, there are so many people!
"In previous years, it wasn't so lively, and this year's number of people is at least three times as high as last year. ”
Before Chen Ruoxi could speak, Jian Nanbo spoke first.
Chen Lingxiao grinned: "Those who want to go to Jiannan Restaurant to die, they are really painstaking!"
Jian Nanbo nodded and said to his son: "Ling Xiao, there is one more thing, my father forgot to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?"
Jian Nanbo said: "Yesterday, Luo Chunshan committed suicide in prison!"
"It's expected! It would be strange if he didn't commit suicide without fear!" Chen Lingxiao said casually, not feeling the slightest surprise.
The best way for the Jiannan City Lord to deal with a traitor like Luo Chunshan is to commit suicide in fear of sin.
Of course, suicide in fear of sin should be put in double quotation marks.
Jian Nanbo and his entourage soon came to the center of the square, the area that belonged to them, where Zhang Wannian, the shopkeeper of Jiannan Restaurant, and a group of cooks were already waiting.
When they saw the Count coming, they stood up and saluted.
When he came here, Chen Lingxiao felt his body light and flew out of the horse.
He instinctively shuddered, wanting to shout for help, it was uncomfortable to fall down on horseback so high.
However, Chen Lingxiao finally held back and didn't shout.
Because he felt that Chen Ruoxi should not bear to let him be hurt, and more importantly, he was the protagonist of the cooking competition, so he couldn't be hurt.
Everything was as he thought, and he was about to fall to the ground, when suddenly, he felt a hand grasp his back.
Chen Ruoxi had already jumped off the horse's back first, and it was she who caught Chen Lingxiao.
"I'm your sister, next time it's no big or small, you're really going to have your ass bloom!" Chen Ruoxi said in a cold voice.
She originally wanted to scare Chen Lingxiao as a "revenge" for what happened just now, but looking at the look on the other party's face, she was not frightened at all.
"I'm scared to death!" Chen Lingxiao made a frightened look.
Chen Ruoxi glared at him and said in her heart:
The devil believes in you!
Chen Lingxiao added: "I want to correct it very seriously, you are not my sister, you are my righteous sister!"
With that, he found his seat, sat down, and looked across the road.
That's the area of Piaoxiang Restaurant.
Chen Lingxiao saw Zhou Wushu, who looked like a fat ball, sitting there with his eyes blank, his face was pale, and the two dark circles under his eyes were particularly conspicuous, and his expression was like that of his dead parents.
It is in stark contrast to the appearance of being invincible at the door of Piaoxiang Restaurant last night.
Seeing this, Chen Lingxiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a happy smile.
He knew that the reason why Zhou Wushu became the ghost he is today is because of himself.
Chen Lingxiao cast a shattering vision last night, knowing that this person loves money extremely much, and he has to count gold coins every night to sleep.
He asked Dian Wei to obey his 12,000 gold coins, and it is estimated that he will not be able to sleep at night.
Beside Zhou Wushu, there was a middle-aged man full of energy, Chen Lingxiao thought that this person should be the newly invited chef of Piaoxiang Restaurant.
In the center of the square, in addition to the Earl's Jiannan Restaurant District and Zhou Wushu's Piaoxiang Restaurant Area, there are dozens of other blocks.
It's just that the area of these blocks is relatively small, and there are not many people, and they belong to the territory of other small restaurants in Jiannan City.
Being able to get good results in the cooking competition is very helpful for the business of these small restaurants.
So, they won't miss the annual cooking competition, which is a rare publicity window.
Of course, these small restaurants come to participate in the competition, and they only have the life of being green leaves.
"Lord of the City, the judges have arrived!"
At this moment, a loud voice sounded.
Following the sound, I saw Zhou Feng, the city lord of Jiannan, and ten richly dressed middle-aged men, escorted by a group of soldiers, into the center of the square and sat on a high platform.
Zhou Feng introduced to everyone that the ten richly dressed middle-aged men, they are the judges of this competition, they are rich businessmen in Lingnan County, and they are also gourmets in the food industry.
After the introduction, Zhou Feng announced the competition system and competition rules of the food competition.
The format is divided into two rounds in total.
In the first round, in the group stage, the chefs of the participating restaurants were divided into ten groups, and the first place in each group was selected to advance to the second round.
In the second round, there is a ranking competition, in which the ten chefs who have advanced are ranked, from 1st to 10th.
The rules are simple, use the ingredients prepared by the organizer to cook, and after the dishes are made, they are tasted and scored by ten judges.
The highest score is 10 points, the lowest score is 0 points, and the average score of the ten judges is taken as the final score.
The one with the highest score wins.
With the announcement of the Jiannan City Lord, the fifty contestants from fifty restaurants came out and prepared to draw lots.
When everyone saw the contestants of Jiannan Restaurant, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"I'm not mistaken, Jiannan Restaurant actually let that waste son participate?!"
"It seems that Jiannan Restaurant is really in decline, it has become a piece of shit, and I can't even find a decent cook!"
"No wonder Jiannan Restaurant will lose to Piaoxiang Restaurant!"
"Today, Jiannan Restaurant is from humiliation, and the waste son will not even be able to enter the second round!"
"The former No. 1 restaurant in Jiannan City, a century-old brand, has it declined?!"
Except for Jian Nanbo, Du Shi and Chen Ruoxi, the three people who have tasted Chen Lingxiao's cooking, almost everyone is not optimistic about Chen Lingxiao and treats him as a joke.
Even the people of Jiannan Restaurant didn't understand why the earl sent the prince to participate in the competition.
The chefs of Jiannan Restaurant are still angry, thinking that the earl is too arbitrary, too ignorant of cooking, and that Uncle Jiannan must be crazy.
Sending Shizi to participate in the competition is simply a signboard for smashing a century-old brand.
If it weren't for the majesty of the Earl, they would have questioned it long ago.
The chefs of Jiannan Restaurant decided to submit their resignations immediately after the cooking competition.
There is no hope for Jiannan Restaurant!
