"Welcome to the 3rd Kyoto Food Competition, this year's registration of corporate representatives and individual representatives is more than double that of previous years, thank you for your support of our event!"

Chen Meilan listened to the rambling words of the people on the stage, and she began to get nervous.

"Compared to previous years, this year's event has made some adjustments. I hope that all the contestants will be ready to compete at a high level and achieve results!"

As the host's curtain ended, Chen Meilan's palms were already sweating.

Although she lived in the 21st century for a decade or two before her rebirth, she never dreamed of competing in cooking.

What's more, in the face of such an event, success or failure also determines the fate of her own business, and she suddenly felt that her hands were not very obedient.

"Don't be nervous, calm down. Ye Jinghuai saw that Chen Meilan was silent, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the stage.

He stretched out his hand to hold Chen Meilan's, but he held back halfway and put it on her shoulder instead.

"You're really great, trust me. ”

Ye Jinghuai continued.

Chen Meilan turned her head to look at Ye Jinghuai, and when she heard his comforting words, she felt a lot better.

"What are you afraid of? they are all people who have died once, so what is there to be afraid of?" Chen Meilan cheered herself up in her heart.

If you think about it carefully, God has given her a new chance, a new destiny, if she doesn't work hard, how can she be worthy of her reborn life.

She nodded at Ye Jinghuai and gave him a reassuring look.

"Come on!"

Chen Meilan strode towards the waiting area.

The first stage of the competition was their pasta competition.

All participants are not allowed to bring anyone into the venue, but they are allowed to bring personal items such as kitchen utensils.

Chen Meilan also took out her secret weapon and brought it in.

Ye Jinghuai was a little surprised when she saw what she was holding.

A while ago, he saw Chen Meilan tinkering with something in her small kitchen alone, choking on tears and snot every time, Ye Jinghuai was worried and wanted to see what was going on, but she was pushed out by Chen Meilan.

I only know that Chen Meilan is researching something new.

At that time, her business was going through a low period.

Liuliu Noodle Restaurant was suppressed, and her dishes were copied again, Chen Meilan was willing to swallow this breath, so she tried to find a way to revive the noodle restaurant.

However, Chen Meilan's research has not been announced, and Ye Jinghuai did not continue to ask.

He thought that this matter was over, but he didn't expect that at this critical moment, Chen Meilan took out a secret weapon.

The host had already removed from the stage, and then the staff behind the scenes lifted the improvised device up and lined it up.

Each seat is equipped with pots and pans, and the ingredients are placed in the center of the stage, and whoever needs it can pick it up.

In fact, there were not many ingredients needed for noodles, and there were not many types of noodles at that time, so in order to gain an advantage in this competition, each contestant had to have their own unique secret recipe.

That is, to be able to make a different taste from others.

Chen Meilan, like others, also uses local materials and chooses the types she is good at doing.

Ye Jinghuai believed that Chen Meilan would win, but he was not at the bottom of the heart, and there was no relaxation in his heart.

Contestants have a fixed time to complete their works, and whoever finishes them first will have the right to be tasted first.

Chen Meilan is not in a hurry, she has also considered what position she is more suitable for.

Their creations need to be tasted before they can be scored, so it's never too early.

Chen Meilan deliberately slowed down her speed, and also deliberately chose a spicy noodles with a relatively heavy taste as the entry.

Seeing that the time was almost up, she took out a glass bottle from her pocket, spooned some and put it into the noodles, and waited until all the chili peppers were integrated with the soup.

In fact, Chen Meilan was the last contestant.

The tongues of those judges have been stimulated by various tastes, and no matter how delicious things are placed in front of them, they will also produce some fatigue, Chen Meilan deliberately grasped this, she is confident that she can catch the taste buds of the judges at the last moment.

Ye Jinghuai didn't understand Chen Meilan's thoughts, and when she appeared, he was a little anxious.

However, Ye Jinghuai saw the surprise on the faces of those judges when they tasted Chen Meilan's craftsmanship, and he knew that this noodle champion was none other than Chen Meilan.

After tasting "this ......", the judges exchanged ears for the first time.

After a while, the judge sitting in the middle picked up the microphone and said, "This little girl, can I ask, do you have a chili oil recipe?"

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the audience was a little surprised.

The audience below also started talking.

"What do you mean this is?"

"If you want to eat chili oil, I can fry him a bucket, this kind of competition, it won't be so indiscriminate, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, do you know who is sitting in the middle? He is the heir of the Huo family spice in Kyoto, although it has disappeared in recent years, but the true ability of the ancestors is still there, if he says it well, absolutely no one dares to refute it. ”

"Uncle, if you want to eat, I can give you a bottle, but my secret recipe can't be given to you easily. ”

Chen Meilan said as she placed a glass bottle filled with chili oil in front of the man's table.

"Yes, yes. ”

The judge took it with a smile and unceremoniously put it in his pocket.

"I have a question, I don't know if to talk about it?"

He looked up at Chen Meilan.

"I was born in Kyoto, grew up in Kyoto, and am now old in Kyoto, but I have never heard of your family. ”

Chen Meilan felt a little sorry for this old gentleman.

But she still stubbornly continued, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it, I have just come to Kyoto not long ago, you have good eyesight, my ancestors have lived in the southwest region for generations, and this time I came to Kyoto alone, but I also want to pick up my family business again." ”

"Yes, little girl, don't worry about going boldly, you have a future!"

The judge happily announced that the winner of the first category was Chen Meilan, the owner of "Six Six Noodle Restaurant".

This result is not surprising.

The people in the audience saw that the old man of the Huo family had been chatting with the little girl for so long and was so happy, and they had already guessed the result.

"That's great!"

Ye Jinghuai hugged Chen Meilan, who ran down from the stage, and the two of them hugged and cheered happily.

Chen Meilan placed the trophy in front of her booth and watched more and more people crowd in front of her eyes, wanting to find out the secret of her victory.

Ye Jinghuai was no exception, he also wanted to know what kind of secret weapon it was, it was so powerful.

"Actually, there's nothing special," Chen Meilan couldn't hold back, but she still pretended to be on the shelf, pretending to be mysterious: "This is all thanks to the 'old godmother'." ”

Ye Jinghuai was even more puzzled: "...... Huh?"
