The next day, Fang Yu improved the recipe according to the opinions put forward by everyone after tasting it yesterday, which is more in line with the taste of the world public. Then he officially launched two new dishes in the store: "Pepper Sesame Duck Palm" and "Steamed Beef in a Cage".

As soon as the new dish was launched, it was well received, and even the price of the online "One Side Edge" reservation number doubled.

Before Fang Yu was still complaining about the statement on the Internet, saying that an annual income of less than 200,000 yuan belongs to a poor family.

However, in terms of consumption in Shudu, if you don't consider buying a house, you can live comfortably with an income of 200,000 yuan a year. Basically, you can buy whatever you want in the vegetable market, and you don't have to ask the price at all. Once a month, you can also explore the neighborhood or try some of the more upscale cuisine.

Even if you want to buy a house, as long as it is not in the city center, it is not impossible for a family equivalent to a double civil servant to save money for a few years as long as both parents have a little support.

can see that there are so many people who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy the dining qualifications of their own small shop, Fang Yu now feels that the statement on the Internet may not be unreasonable, there are too many rich people in China, and the annual income of 200,000 yuan is really nothing.

Fang Yu calculated the current turnover, and according to the current profitability, his annual income can be regarded as barely crossing the threshold of the rich.

Originally becoming a legendary local tyrant, even if it was a small tyrant, it should be a happy and even celebratory thing for Fang Yu, who was originally a natural proletarian. It's a pity that since he decided to pursue his lost memories and the truth of the past, making money is no longer Fang Yu's purpose.

As soon as he thought of the bet with the mysterious Fang Yongan, Fang Yu felt that time was pressing.

For the average person, in less than two months, he has grown from a penniless college student to a well-known chef with an industry that can provide an income of two million a year. This is enough for most people in the world to brag about a miracle for a lifetime.

However, as the inheritor of "The Way of Taste", Fang Yu felt that his pace was still too slow. Not to mention that the requirements of the gambling contract and the achievement of the title of the top ten chefs in Shudu are the culinary circles of Shudu, and they have not really stepped into it.

In the last cooking showdown, Fang Yu met the three referees, Zhong, Lai, and Liao. Referee Zhong and Fang Yu are very close to each other, and Fang Yu also gives him face in dealing with the compensation of Shuxianglou, so the two have become New Year's friends when they come and go.

Of course, this is also because the ancestor of the Yellow Gate personally admitted that Fang Yu was his son and nephew, and in terms of generation, Fang Yu was not lower than Judge Zhong.

Referee Zhong is the head of a traditional snack with a long history in Shudu. As one of the honorary directors of the Shudu Cuisine Association, he can be regarded as a member of the inner circle of the Shudu culinary industry.

After the introduction of Judge Zhong, Fang Yu knew how precious the "Member Selection Invitation" of the Culinary Association sent by Lin Maozhou to Zhao Lei.

Although Fang Yu has successfully gained the attention of the Shudu culinary community through several cooking duels and the relationship with the Yellow Gate, at most it is only a topic after their tea and dinner, and it has not been recognized. This is evidenced by the fact that no representative of the genre or the head chef of the restaurant group has visited him.

The real masters in the culinary world of Shudu are still waiting to see if Fang Yu, a little loach, can turn into a dragon and become a member of the Culinary Association. Only by passing the rigorous assessment and becoming an official member of the Culinary Association can Fang Yu be qualified to associate with them, understand the true face of the Shudu culinary world, and have the opportunity to compete for the title of Shudu's top ten chefs.

Fang Yu was secretly glad that he had gotten this "Member Selection Invitation" at the beginning, otherwise he would still be looking for a way to realize the gambling contract aimlessly like a blind man touching an elephant.

Speaking of which, Fang Yu actually holds the only key in this world that can lead to the ultimate path of the Kitchen Dao, and for him, time is power. If there is a period of ten or eight years for Fang Yu to grow slowly, not to mention the top ten chefs in Shudu, even if he becomes the world's number one chef, it will not be a problem.

If the time span can continue to be extended, there is also a way to become a god and a saint. It's a pity that Fang Yu only has eighteen months, oh no, it's only sixteen months now, and time is like a fuse that ignites, reminding Fang Yu every day.

Last time Referee Zhong came over, Fang Yu asked him to ask when the selection of members of this year's Culinary Association would start. After these days, Referee Zhong finally had a reply.

This year's selection time for the members of the Culinary Association has been set, and it is ready to be held in half a month, that is, in mid-September.

This relieved Fang Yu, who was worried that the selection might be delayed until October, because even after being selected, it would take a three-month observation period, plus the previous time, which means that after becoming an official member of the Culinary Association, he would only have less than a year to seek the crown of the top ten chefs in Shudu. Time is really tight, it would be nice to have a little more.

But another news from Judge Zhong made Fang Yu nervous again.

Due to special reasons, the three membership places originally allocated to the Shudu Cuisine Association were reduced to one, but there were three invitations to the selection of members.

The selection of members of the Culinary Association has always adhered to the principle of preferring shortage to abundance, and getting an invitation does not mean that you can become a full member, in fact, the average elimination rate over the years is as high as 60%.

The key is that this elimination rate is based on the special foundation that every chef who has received the invitation to the membership selection has the cooking skills of ordinary senior chefs. This shows the severity and cruelty of membership selection.

But it is one thing to strictly control the quota on the basis of quotas, and it is another thing to force people to cut people without quotas.

This year's limited number of places means that no matter how high their culinary skills are, it will be difficult for the three candidates to pass the selection of the Culinary Association, as long as they cannot fully overwhelm the other two rivals.

After all, the chefs who can get the invitation to the membership selection are not ordinary people, and many of them are members of a large consortium or a gourmet family themselves. If there is no outstanding performance to gag others' mouths, the Culinary Association is naturally more inclined to not pass the three people, so as not to offend people and create disputes needlessly.

But none of the three membership candidates who got the invitation this year is a fuel-efficient lamp.

Needless to say, Fang Yu alone is enough to explain the problem by the chef who has become the fastest in the history of Shudu, not to mention that he has the Yellow Gate behind him to endorse him.

The other two candidates, one from Luchuan City, nicknamed the Wine City, are members of the prestigious Wen family.

Judging from the news revealed by Judge Zhong, this should be better at using wine in dishes, but because these people in the family have always been very conservative, it is still unknown how high the specific level is. I only know that the candidate's mother is the cousin of Judge Liao that Fang Yu saw last time.

The identity of the third candidate is more sensitive to Fang Yu, and it can even be said that the road is narrow, it is the only son of Tang Mingquan, the head of Tang Jiacai, Tang Yunfei, who is known as the first of the new generation in Rongzhou.

This Tang Yunfei has just returned from Dongying for less than half a year, and he has already challenged more than a dozen famous chefs in Rongzhou, including seniors who have been in the industry for nearly 20 years, but none of them have failed.

The most surprising thing is that in all the challenges, Tang Yunfei did not show a single Tang family's special skill, and all of them were won with Dongying cuisine. And his father had said before that Tang Yunfei had learned eighty percent of the Tang family's cuisine when he was eighteen years old.

Chefs who have watched him compete agree that Tang Yunfei has not shown his true skills so far.

In the face of such a strong opponent, although Fang Yu's self-confidence is undiminished, he also needs to deal with it carefully and prepare more.

After all, a great man once said: "Strategically despise the enemy, but tactically value the enemy." ”

But now Fang Yu has to face another problem first, Lin Xiaoxiao is going home to school.

Walker Meow: I was so sleepy last night, I fell asleep in front of the computer, and I had another meeting this morning, so I could only use my lunch break at noon to code this chapter out. In the afternoon, I will continue and strive to publish a chapter before 19:30, so that another chapter can be posted before 12:00 in the evening.
