Before coming to Shudu, Fang Yu had no idea that there was an organization in the world called the Culinary Association. Although he liked food very much when he was in school in Yangcheng, he just liked to eat and never thought that he would become a chef.

really stepped into this circle, or after arriving in Shudu. But Fang Yu's understanding of this organization was actually very vague before. After specifically questioning Judge Zhong, Fang Yu found out that his low-key culinary association turned out to be a giant hidden from the sight of ordinary people.

In ancient times, there were all kinds of guilds related to the catering industry, but they were just ordinary commercial guilds, controlled by food families and schools, and there was no program or system.

The modern Culinary Association was founded during the First World War in this world, and its origins are legendary.

About this period of history, Judge Zhong said very vaguely, only know that at the beginning, a female chef named Dingle was active on the battlefield, constantly helping those who fell into famine and disease because of the war.

Her actions moved a wealthy businessman named Dooley, who ran around and kept speaking out, calling for a group of volunteers to join Dingle's work.

Later, as the war became more and more brutal, more and more countries were affected, and more and more refugees were affected. Both Dooley and Dingle realized that they couldn't help that many people on their own.

Under the slogan "Suffering knows no race, and humanity should have no borders", they united a group of like-minded companions to form an international humanitarian organization to provide non-discriminatory "neutral" services to refugees and wounded people in all countries.

At that time, the Culinary Association was only a subordinate organization of this international humanitarian organization, a rescue organization organized by Dingle, a family of chefs from high society, who used his influence to organize a rescue organization regardless of nationality.

The original purpose of the organization was to provide aid and training to the refugees: on the one hand, to provide them with as much basic supplies as possible, and on the other hand, to teach them to use all the resources at their disposal to make food that would satisfy their stomachs.

Later, as more and more families and schools of chefs joined the organization, the influence of the organization grew more and more. During the Second World War, the Culinary Society became completely independent from that international humanitarian organization and no longer focused solely on helping refugees.

Because the Culinary Association claims to be neutral and its slogan is "Chefs have nationality, food knows no borders", it has branches in most countries in the world and is an out-and-out international organization.

Interestingly, however, the Chinese Culinary Association does not seem to be at odds with the Gaul-based International Culinary Association, which is dismissive of the International Culinary Association's headquarters.

For Fang Yu, the gossip within the Cooking Association is not the focus of his concern for the time being, and the details of the selection and assessment of the members of the Cooking Association are what he wants to know the most. This is also an important purpose for him to interview Referee Zhong.

However, this part is limited to confidentiality requirements, and Judge Zhong can give him the least. Lao Zhong explained to him the basic structure of the Culinary Association, suggesting that the five assessment judges would be randomly selected from the directors and deputy directors of these departments.

The basic criterion is that the age covers the old, middle and young, and it is not allowed to be all locals, including at least three cuisines, among which there will definitely be the cuisine that the candidates who participate in the assessment major.

Fang Yu listened to Judge Zhong's words, although there were still many questions, but the old brother was already benevolent to him, and he was not too extravagant.

He had almost done the preparation before the assessment, and he was waiting for the curtain to open.

On the day of the assessment, Fang Yu did not go out for morning exercises, prepared the ingredients early, put them in the special fresh-keeping box sent by the Culinary Association in advance, and then sat in the lobby of the noodle restaurant to close his eyes and recuperate, waiting for the special car of the Culinary Association to pick him up.

The Culinary Guild is indeed wealthy, and the candidates for membership are all luxury cars worth millions. Fang Yu sat in the spacious back seat and looked curiously, constantly asking this and that. Although the staff of the association who came to greet him answered all the questions politely, there was still some disdain and disgust in their eyes.

The special car drove quickly and steadily, and it didn't take long for the culinary association located in the southern suburbs of Shudu to arrive.

When Fang Yu got out of the car, he was greeted by a strangely shaped building.

The top of the circular building in the front is slightly concave and looks like a bowl, and the main building behind it is two straight twin buildings, and the upper part of the lower circle looks like a pair of chopsticks.

"Hey, Miji, come out and see your brother. He's obviously better developed than you, look, how tall. Fang Yu teased the flavor chopsticks in his heart, today's assessment is too important, only with the flavor chopsticks can he have the bottom in his heart.

Wei Zhen replied lazily: "I don't care about you, I go to take a deep breath when I'm nervous, I won't tell you cold jokes." ”

Being said by Wei Zhen, Fang Yu realized that he was indeed a little nervous. He didn't feel this way in any of the previous cooking showdowns, so what's wrong today?

"Probably because this assessment is related to whether you can complete the gambling contract on time and get clues to unlock your past memories. Because I care, I don't take it easy. Fang Yu analyzed himself.

"Hello, you are Mr. Fang Yu." A sweet voice rang in my ears.

Fang Yu fixed his eyes and saw that he had already walked into the circular building with the staff, and a professional beauty wearing a white suit and flesh-colored stockings walked up to him and greeted him warmly.

Fang Yu suppressed his thoughts and nodded.

"My name is Bai Shishi, I am your temporary assistant today, please come with me, and I will take you to the lounge to rest."

Bai Shishi was very capable and took Fang Yu to a lounge with "No. 11" written on it.

The lounge room is quite large, with a large leather sofa, coffee table, refrigerator, TV, hi-fi, as well as a separate toilet and bathroom, and a massage chair in the corner.

Bai Shishi succinctly introduced:

"The formal assessment starts at 10 o'clock, and candidates need to be there 20 minutes early, and you now have half an hour to adjust yourself. You can listen to music for a while or relax in the massage chair, there are drinks in the fridge and if you need other services, you can press this button to call me. Okay, don't bother you, I'll come back when the time comes. ”

"Wait a minute," Fang Yu saw that Bai Shishi was leaving, and hurriedly stopped her.

"Do you have any other commands?" Bai Shishi asked with a smile on her face.

"Ms. Bai, I would like to ask if the other candidates have arrived."

"Mr. Tang Yunfei arrived half an hour earlier than you, and Mr. Wen Liang has not yet arrived."

"I want to talk to Tang Yunfei." Fang Yu said casually.

Bai Shishi's face changed slightly, but she still agreed:

"Under normal circumstances, candidates generally do not meet each other before the assessment. However, if Mr. Fang really wants to see Mr. Tang, I can go over and ask. ”

"Oh, then I'm bothering you."

After a while, Bai Shishi returned to the lounge, "Mr. Tang agreed, please come with me." ”

Fang Yu followed Bai Shishi to the lounge marked No. 22, Bai Shishi knocked lightly on the door, the door immediately opened, and a girl wearing the same uniform as Bai Shishi walked out.

"Mr. Tang is inside, please come in."

The girl's face was flushed, and there was still a hint of resentment on Fang Yu's expression, which made Fang Yu a little inexplicable.

After Fang Yu entered the door, Bai Shishi did not follow in, but closed the door and stood outside the door.

When Fang Yu entered the door, Tang Yunfei was leaning lazily on the sofa, looking very relaxed. Seeing Fang Yu come in, Tang Yunfei looked upright, stood up and welcomed him warmly, and Fang Yu felt that he didn't seem to be here to compete with him today, but like he was a guest at his house.

Fang Yu came to Tang Yunfei for nothing important, it was just that he was bored and wanted to find someone to chat, just before Tang Yunfei didn't explain why he made that strange request, Fang Yu also wanted to ask by the way today.
