The first thing she thinks of is reconciliation, she has never been a person who likes to do things, if she can settle grievances and do her own business, why not.

So, Chi Wan first went to find the shopkeeper who framed her for not using fresh food, which was a restaurant two streets away from the flavor building. The shopkeeper of this restaurant looks very shrewd, with pigtails and small glasses, a beard, and slender fingers.

As soon as Chi Wan came, she got straight to the point and said, "Hello, I am the shopkeeper of the flavor building, I wonder if I can talk to you about some things with the shopkeeper?" ”

The shopkeeper touched his beard, pinched his fingers, and said, "You are here for the last time." ”

"Exactly," Chi Wan agreed, "I want to know where I offended you, and I would like to advise." ”

"What do you instruct, do you still need me to talk about this thing that is clearly in front of you?"

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and motioned her to look at her restaurant, the entire restaurant has two floors, there are not many sparse and sparse places, there are only three or four tables of individual customers, and the upstairs seat is not patronized, if it is not cleaned every day, I am afraid that it will accumulate dust.

"This is what you call offended, my restaurant has been open for a few years, and now it's good, the business has been robbed by you, and my old customers have gone to your flavor building, so who will take care of my restaurant's business?"

Even if it is separated by two streets, the guests are more willing to go to the flavor building to eat, the reason is not that the shopkeeper does not understand in his heart, it is precisely because the dishes in the flavor building are cheap and delicious, which quickly gained a firm foothold among the peers and attracted a lot of business.

If you want to say that the restaurant is delicious, it is also worthy of its name, but in the final analysis, it is still the shopkeeper who is greedy for money, and it is because it is the restaurant that the price of the dish has been raised by more than two degrees.

"So you're going to use these tactics against me?" Chi Wan was puzzled, she was completely acceptable to equal competition among peers, but this was clearly a frame-up.

The shopkeeper said gloomily: "You can only blame yourself for becoming the target of public criticism, you must know that there are several pairs of eyes staring at you behind you now." ”

Chi Wan now understood that this series of conspiracies were planned behind the scenes of their peers, and they threatened their interests, and their purpose was to bring down their restaurant.

It seems that peace talks are out of the question, but they will still be behind their backs, should they use the same methods to deal with them? Chi Wan is not such an evil person in her heart, so she would not do such a thing.

I couldn't think of any good way before for a while, Chi Wan was very distressed, seeing that the customer flow in the restaurant was not as good as before, she supported her head with one hand, and she didn't know what to do with a distressed look.

Today, Lin Nanyi came to learn cooking skills as usual, and when he saw Chi Wan's appearance, he stepped forward and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you, seeing that you are in a very bad mood, what happened?" ”

Chi Wan told Lin Nanyi everything that happened, and asked him, "Do you have any good ideas, help me come up with ideas." ”

Lin Nanyi thought about it and said, "Since those people are trying their best to destroy the reputation of the flavor building, and blame you for stealing their business, why don't you come to a cooking competition and let the people judge, how about this?" ”

Chi Wan thought about it, this idea is really very ingenious, firstly, it can save the food of the flavor building in front of the people, it is not very unpalatable like those rumors, and secondly, it is a fair and just competition, which will definitely make those shopkeepers with bad intentions speechless.

Ji Wan was suddenly full of energy, and she said, "Okay, just do it!" Seeing that Chi Wan was refreshed again, Lin Nanyi smiled with relief, and then entered the kitchen with peace of mind.

The next day, a huge propaganda slander was posted at the gate of the flavor building, and the people rushed up to see what was written on it.

"What, the shopkeeper of the flavor building is going to hold a cooking competition, and he also invites the people in the town to vote, which food is better?"

Several restaurant shopkeepers in the town spontaneously formed an alliance against the flavor building, and they are now gathered together and are talking about what the flavor store is going to do this time.

"Maybe she's trying to plot against us, or we'll all go and let her go." One of the shopkeepers proposed.

Another shopkeeper waved his hand and said: "No, on the contrary, we have to go, she is probably still too confident, thinking that she can rely on this to break back a game, you must know that we are teamed up, in the end I am afraid that it will not be able to compare to a flavor building?" ”

"Among us, Shopkeeper Chen has the most ideas, since he just spoke like this, it seems that he already has a good way, isn't it, Shopkeeper Chen."

The person who was called Shopkeeper Chen nodded and said, "At that time, I will need everyone to cooperate with me to defeat the opponent." ”

Ten days later, the cooking competition was held as scheduled, and almost every resident of the town was present, who didn't want to come and eat some delicious food for nothing.

And the restaurant shopkeepers who were invited to participate in the war also arrived one by one, and they stood opposite Chi Wan in a line, pretending to be friendly and greeting Chi Wan with a friendly smile and saying, "You are the shopkeeper of the flavor building, I am fortunate to meet you." ”

Chi Wan also smiled slightly and said in a polite tone: "Yes, I want to thank all the shopkeepers for their willingness to participate in the face." ”

The seemingly simple conversation is actually full of gunpowder, and seeing that the other party's stalls have been stacked with cans prepared in advance, it seems that they are all prepared.

But Chi Wan is not afraid, what the result is, at least this is a decision made by the people, absolutely fair and just.

The whole competition venue is a huge circle, a total of eight restaurants, at the edge of the stage each restaurant has its own small stall and equipped with a stove, a tank of water, and a variety of basic seasonings.

In the center of the stage is a huge platform stacked with all kinds of fresh ingredients, from vegetables to meat to river fresh. And these materials are naturally provided by the flavor building represented by Chi Wan.

"Okay, then now the cooking competition has officially begun, and now the shopkeepers of each restaurant are in place, please allow me to tell you the rules of the competition."

The host is Lin Nanyi's attendant, and it was originally set to be Lin Nanyi, but he insisted on helping Chi Wan cook in this cooking competition, but Chi Wan had no choice but to agree.

"The rules of the competition are that each restaurant needs to make nine dishes according to the theme, and after each dish is done, 20 people will be invited to taste and vote on the spot, and finally decide who is the best restaurant!"

"For the sake of fairness, all the ingredients must be selected on the field, and if there is a secret sauce that comes with you, it needs to be checked and confirmed by the doctors before it can be used."

The host motioned to the two elderly doctors on the side, and they were waiting on the field at any time.

The people were very excited, and they were shouting to start quickly, seeing that the atmosphere was so active, the emotions of several other restaurants were also mobilized, and they were eager to try not to be outdone.

"Now it's up to me to announce, this first theme is refreshing, the restricted dishes are cold dishes, each restaurant has twenty minutes, start now!"

While! The big gong sounded on the side, and the chefs of several restaurants stepped forward to choose the ingredients to be used, and the chef of the flavor building, which attracted the attention of the public, also stepped forward, but he only took two things - garlic and cucumber.

It seems that this is to make cold cucumbers, this kind of ordinary dish can also be made at home, why would they use this ordinary dish to participate in the competition?

However, there is also the shopkeeper of another restaurant who also makes cucumbers, but they also take chicken breast, so what kind of dish can be paired?

For a while, the sound of pots and pans and the shouts of people made the arena very lively, and twenty minutes was also very sufficient, and many ninth-floors only took less than ten minutes to present their dishes.

However, the flavor building that was most anticipated by the people really only made a cold cucumber, which disappointed the people. When he saw the other shopkeeper bring his own dishes, his face was full of confidence. The dish he made was served, and it was a dish of shredded chicken and cucumber.

"Now invite twenty people to come and taste the dishes of each restaurant!" Even though there were guards around the venue, the enthusiasm of the people still couldn't be resisted, and it was very difficult, and the lucky twenty people came on the field.

They looked at the eight plates of dishes in front of them, and their saliva was about to flow. Then the shopkeepers began to introduce their dishes.

"This dish is a famous dish in our restaurant, and the sauce served here has been carefully mixed by our chef......"

"This dish is delicious, but the sauce is still too greasy, not refreshing at all."

"It's just that it's delicious but not in line with the theme, the next dish!"

The people spoke out, which really hurt the heart of the shopkeeper.

At this time, it was the turn of the shopkeeper to make shredded chicken cucumbers, and he introduced, "This is our family's specialty dish, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the cold dishes in the town store are not exaggerated, and the surname of the contemptible person is Hong, so this dish is called Hongzi chicken shredded cucumber." ”

This shredded chicken cucumber looks good, the tender green cucumber and the smooth shredded chicken are fused together, plus some red chili oil, and the people applaud after eating it.

"What kind of delicacy is this? It's so delicious! ”

"The shredded chicken is particularly tender, the cucumber is also very refreshing, and adding some chili oil is not particularly spicy, but also enhances the umami, a wonderful match!"

This dish of shredded chicken and cucumber has almost deeply captured the hearts of the people, and everyone is eager to vote for him now. Shopkeeper Hong looked at Ji Wan haughtily, and Ji Wan nodded and smiled at him, without any look of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
