Chapter 23: Food Competition

Arrived at Piaoxiang Building, it has long been crowded, not only is it full of people, even the outside of Piaoxiang Building is surrounded by people who watch the excitement, today's food competition is full of famous chefs from all over the world, and the famous dishes that are usually rare to see have the opportunity to see today, although they can't feast on their mouths, but it's also good to feast their eyes.

Several errand officers maintained order at the gate of Piaoxiang Building, and Fang Yuan and Li Defu took out the vouchers for the competition before they were able to enter.

In order to hold this food competition, Piaoxianglou specially changed the hall on the first floor, the original dining table is gone, and now it is a row of brand-new stoves and kitchenware, surrounded by a circle of tables and chairs, obviously a lot of money, and these are completely worth it for Piaoxianglou, holding such a food contest can not only improve the reputation of Piaoxianglou but also please Cai Jing, it is simply a two-pronged thing, many restaurants want to have such an opportunity.

The food contest has not yet started, so the stove and the surrounding seats are still empty, but under Fang Yuan's two-dimensional eyes, this place has long been busy, and the food festival of the two-dimensional world has begun.

"McDonald's, why don't you try it?" Fang Yuan looked at Mai Dang Niu standing next to him, with Mai Dang Niu's cooking skills, he could definitely get good results by participating in the food festival of the two-dimensional world.

McDonald shook his head and said, "I haven't been to such a food festival for many years. ”

Looking at McDonald's embarrassed face, Fang Yuan couldn't help but complain secretly: This is the so-called pretending to be forced? Why does it sound like the phrase "I didn't like a big brother for many years"......

However, with the cooking skills of McDonald's cow, it seems that there is nothing wrong with saying this.

Fang Yuan said to himself Li Muning and Anan didn't have a special reaction, but Li Defu next to him couldn't help but glance at him, the last time Steward Chen came back from Sweet Water Village told him about Fang Yuan's "illness", he was still a little puzzled, but now it seems that he is really sick.

Li Muxuan, who had been silent, heard Fang Yuan talking to himself and quietly glanced at him, secretly glad that her father helped her avoid the marriage contract with the Fang family, as for her sister Li Muning, a little girl who was just six years old, what else could the Fang family do to her, there would definitely be a way for the Fang family to give up the marriage contract in a few days.

There are countless young talents like Li Muxuan who are both talented and good-looking, how can she look down on such an unlearned and unskilled gentleman as Shang Yuan, and now that the Fang family is down, he doesn't even have the qualifications to be a gentleman.

Seeing that the time was almost the same, Zhang Guangquan, the owner of Piaoxiang Building, took the stage and spoke: "This year's food competition is still held in our Piaoxiang Building, I think everyone should be no stranger to Piaoxiang Building, it is the largest and most tasteful restaurant in Hangzhou, we ......"

The opening remarks were completely a self-aggrandizing advertisement, and Fang Yuan was speechless for a while.

Finally, by the time he finished speaking, everyone was already drowsy.

"In addition to the judges of this year's food competition, Lu Daren and Zhu Yingfeng, the new magistrates of Hangzhou City, will also serve as judges of the competition!"

Hearing this, the onlookers began to discuss, and even the magistrate personally came to serve as a judge, which shows the importance attached to this food competition. As for Zhu Yingfeng, it is Zhu Mian, the official who should be served.

Lu Yong, the new magistrate of Hangzhou City, is also Cai Jing's protégé, and he is a real protégé, he studied with Cai Jing in his early years, and he is not a self-protégé like Zhu Mian. It is impossible to think about being able to serve as the magistrate of a prosperous and wealthy place like Hangzhou without Cai Jing's help, Lu Yong knew that this food competition was to select the chef for Caifu's birthday banquet in a few days, so he took the initiative to come to serve as a judge of the competition, and two chefs from his house also came to participate.

Now Zhu Mian has not yet received Zhao Ji's attention, there is Lu Yong, the magistrate of Hangzhou, naturally there is no part for him to speak, after Lu Yong announced the start of the competition, the participating chefs entered one after another, and the judges of the competition also sat down at the judging tables around them, and the people outside even probed their brains to see clearly.

All the chefs who came to the competition brought a few assistants, and there were a lot of food boxes, and only Fang Yuan was alone carrying a food box, which was very special.

Anan can't help with this kind of thing, but it is possible to help more and more, so he didn't take Anan with him when he entered, but he wasn't really alone, McDonald and Alice were his assistants today.

"That seems to be Fang Shicheng's son, and he also came to participate in the food competition?"

"Are you mistaken, wasn't Fang Shicheng expelled from Hangzhou City, and besides, his straw bale son can still cook?"

"Don't say it, it seems that it's really that kid, I saw him when I went to Fang Mansion to discuss business before."

"Could it be that Fang Shicheng wants to take this opportunity to see Cai Xiang and turn over."

"Haha, Fang Shicheng is also old and confused, not to mention whether Cai Xiang will help him, his straw bale son still wants to win the food competition, isn't it whimsical."

"Hahaha, that's what I said."

……

Everyone's discussion did not scruple about Fang Yuan himself, but it was obvious schadenfreude, people's hearts were probably like this, most of these so-called competition judges were wealthy businessmen and gentry in Hangzhou City, who had no less dealings with the Fang family at the beginning, but now they see the Fang family's downfall as if they were watching a play.

"I heard that the Fang family and the Li family seem to have a marriage contract, I don't know if it's true or not, Boss Li, what do you say?"

Li Defu, who also served as a judge, looked even more ugly when he heard this, snorted lightly and did not speak, thinking more and more about settling the marriage contract as soon as possible. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and many people in Hangzhou City know about the marriage contract between the Li family and the Fang family, and even the Li family has rumors of repentance of the marriage using Li Daitaozhuang's method.

"Daddy, Brother Fang Yuan will definitely win, the dishes he makes are really delicious." Li Muning didn't take care of her father's feelings at all, and was still speaking for Fang Yuan at this time.

The laughter around them was louder.

"Young master, those people are so annoying, Alice will help you teach them a lesson!"

Although Alice's powerful force could not have the slightest impact on the real world, Fang Yuan felt much more comfortable when he saw those joking judges covered with two-dimensional rotten vegetable leaves and eggshells.

Fang Yuan takes this food contest very seriously, after all, it is related to rescuing Fluttershy, and he does not dare to take it lightly.

The competition is simple, each participating chef must make a set of dishes within a limited time, and the judges will give a rating of one to three stars based on the results of the tasting, and the final ranking will be determined according to the number of stars.

With the timer of the long incense lit the competition, the competition officially began, and Fang Yuan was dumbfounded when he looked up and saw the ingredients taken out by the others.

The first ingredient that almost all the participating chefs took out was crab, as if they had agreed upon it.

Is this a food contest or a crab contest? Fang Yuan was a little confused.
