Because he did not receive any threats, intimidation, or accusations from Song Yiting's male lily for several days, Zhang Jin gradually forgot about this matter completely. I continued to live my lazy life without worry.

Zhang Jin just stayed at home every day, sleeping, studying, cooking, and teasing Ye Hong...... It's the same, and it's a dead house that doesn't go out of the door.

This lasts until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

In the traditional Chinese customs, the fifth day of the New Year has passed, that is, the fifth day of the New Year, and the most important days of the New Year are considered to have passed.

After the fifteenth day of the first month of the Shangyuan Dynasty, the New Year is considered to be more than half over.

After the whole first month, when the second dragon raised its head in February, it was considered that the year was completely over.

It is because the six days from the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the new year are the most important days of the New Year.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, if it is not a big thing, if it is not a last resort, in the land of China, no one originally intended to mobilize the people before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

However, after the fifth day of the new year, there were more things, and various companies also went to work one after another. A senior high school student like Ye Meng will also start classes.

This year is no different. It's just that among the busy crowd after breaking five this year, there is more Zhang Jin, who was waiting enough to continue to be lazy.

This time, even Zhang Jin, a peerless idler with no career and no pressure, will not be spared.

Because......

With the "old man of the imperial Han Dynasty" Tao Zugeng and the "Gallic rooster" Bloom on the plane as the fuse, from the old man Tao Zugeng's 'imperial dining room' and the old man Bloom's 'Burgundy Restaurant' two armies to become the 'China, France, Turkey' three kingdoms to compete for the crown, and finally evolved into the 'Shijie War' The 'Shijie Food and Beijing City Exchange Meeting' will be held in ten days.

Although Zhang Jin doesn't need to be like the two organizers of 'Huanghan' Old Man Tao and 'Rooster' Old Man Bu, he started to work with his foot in the back of his head a month ago.

However, Zhang Jin, as one of the chefs invited to participate, still had to be there ten days before the event.

After all, the preparation for such a large-scale gastronomic event is also extremely tedious. It is also necessary to arrange the stove, determine the dishes, prepare raw materials, and prepare kitchen utensils and stoves...... There are a lot of things that need to be decided in advance.

Otherwise, when the time comes, if you are in a hurry, and if you miss something or something, it will be a shame.

Or, because there is no prior agreement, it can be even more troublesome if two chefs make the same dish and the dish collides.

Everyone knows that this so-called competition is not a competition, this is just an opportunity to show themselves, and this exchange meeting is just a platform to show their cooking skills.

If all the chefs participated once, it would be as if they were gilded. It will be of great benefit to the fame of the restaurant in the future, the fame of the chef, and the future income of the chef.

Therefore, it is necessary to ventilate in advance, so as not to really make two people collide with vegetables, and they must be bayonet to see the red and the inferior, this kind of hurtful and angry thing.

On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Jin completed his morning exercises, studying, and other homework. It wasn't until it was almost ten o'clock that he lazily went out and drove the sturdy Hummer sent by Beigong Heyue to kill Old Man Liu's 'Imperial Dining Room Beijing Branch'.

Because Zhang Jin went to participate in the preparatory meeting today, there was nothing to eat, and there was nothing lively to make up, just a group of chefs who stir-fried and cooked together. Discuss menus and arrange seats.

Therefore, Ye Hong, who felt that she must not have any common language with those people, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to give Zhang Jin a day of freedom today, not to stick to him, and let Zhang Jin go to the meeting alone. And she herself accompanied Zhang Jin's mother, father and sister to Longhu to join in the excitement and visit the New Year's temple fair in Beijing. …,

…………

The food street where the imperial dining room is located is not far from Zhang Jin's home, and it will take half an hour to drive.

After finding a random parking space and parking the car, Zhang Jin jumped out of the car and walked in along the imposing gate of the imperial dining room.

Beijing is the capital of a country, a super city with a population of tens of millions, and the land is naturally expensive, especially the world-famous food street where the imperial dining room is located, which can be called one of the most expensive commercial areas in the entire Sijiu City.

But even so, the 'Imperial Dining Room' of the 'Imperial Han' Old Man Tao is still grand in scale and magnificent. The brilliant gold and bright vermilion are the main colors, and it looks bright, noble, brilliant and solemn.

In the words of this old man:

'Pick out a random one on this street, which one is not on this ball at your feet, a restaurant with a name and a surname?'

Although their fame is not worse than ours, but this is in the realm of our Chinese people, compared with momentum and style, let's not let those foreigners and devils compare?

What's more, what kind of food are we cooking? It was the imperial meal, and it was what was eaten for the emperor in the past. Aren't we the losers for the emperor? We can't do this kind of thing. Even if the family goes bankrupt and cuts meat and sells blood, we have to hold on. We can't let others think we're stingy. Let these foreigners see what royal spirit is! ’

When Old Man Tao said this, he was quite 'Wei Guangzheng' and quite impassioned.

It seems that this is really the case.

But Zhang Jin is not stupid, Zhang Jin knows that although this old man is a cook, he can develop the imperial dining room into such a huge food empire, and he is definitely not the kind of person who cares about the inside for the sake of face.

To be honest, the decoration style of his imperial dining room is just a gimmick to match his court dishes.

Therefore, when he heard the boasting of this old man of the emperor, Zhang Jin was not less slanderous in his stomach.

…………

When Zhang Jin, under the guidance of a younger brother who brushed the dust with one hand and wore the clothes of a court attendant, entered the 'Tianning Palace' where the Chinese chefs gathered at today's meeting, there were already twenty or thirty people sitting in the box of dozens of square meters.

Tao Zugeng, an old man of the imperial Han Dynasty who was greeting several old men of the same age, saw Zhang Jin, who was led in by his younger brother in the store, and hurriedly got up and greeted:

"Xiao Zhang, you are here, I am wondering if I should give you a call to urge you."

As he spoke, Tao Zugeng, who had already walked in front of Zhang Jin, patted Zhang Jin's shoulder, squeezed his eyebrows and pouted at a room of celebrity chefs, and whispered:

"I didn't go out to greet you personally, old man, don't be upset! You are different from them, they are all guests, but our father and son are not outsiders, so there is no need to be so polite. When you go to the old man, it's like you're at your own home. When you get to your own home, you're welcome, you say yes! ”

Although Zhang Jin never understood how he was not an outsider with this old man. But he must also admit that this old man is indeed very tactful, this old man is very good at talking, and he is very close to talking, so that Zhang Jin does not feel a little dissatisfied.

At the moment when Tao Zugeng and Zhang Jin were talking about these two sentences, several old men who were chatting with Tao Zugeng before came over and asked with a smile:

"I said, Lao Tao, who is this young man? Could he be your little son? ”

These old men and Tao Zugeng have been friends for decades, and although they are separated, they have never broken contact. They all know that Old Man Tao has a younger son, who is just thirty years old, and it is said that he is the only one among his sons who has received the true inheritance of Old Man Tao. Now, there is already an eight-point fire for Old Man Tao. He is the head chef of the Shanghai Imperial Dining Room.

Therefore, when they saw Tao Zugeng and Zhang Jin's close attitude when they spoke, as well as Zhang Jin's age and appearance, they couldn't help but make such a guess. ...,"Lao Meng said and laughed, my uncompetitive little son is still in Shanghai, and he is embarrassed to be ugly. If his cooking skills can be as good as Xiao Zhang, I will burn high incense! Even if I close my eyes now, I'm smiling! ”

Although Tao Zugeng didn't know Zhang Jin's true strength, through the evaluation of the old man Diaozui Lan, coupled with his own humble temperament as a traditional Chinese. Let Tao Zugeng hold Zhang Jin to a height of half a day with one mouth, and devalue his son to worthless.

Under Tao Zugeng's introduction, Zhang Jin exchanged names with several old celebrity chefs who were in charge of each other's cuisines, and several old men politely greeted each other and left.

"Zhang Jin? I've never heard of a hairy boy. It is estimated that the old man Tao put gold on this kid's face, right? ”

Several old men thought the same thing.

These old men are all old and sophisticated, although they have basically been around the pot for most of their lives, and they are not as shrewd as those who are engaged in politics and business, but they are also quite proficient in the sophistication of Chinese people. Therefore, for Tao Zugeng's insincere exaggeration before, he didn't take it to heart and didn't take it seriously.

The territory of the whole China is not small, and the cuisine is even more diverse, but in fact, the circle of top Chinese chefs is not large.

The real top people, these famous chefs in China, even if they don't know each other, will have heard of it.

Therefore, for Zhang Jin, who is lazy and has no 'celebrity chef' temperament, he doesn't seem to have any accumulation when he is young, he has no name, and he is even more unknown in the chef circle, and these chefs who are above the top are naturally disdainful.

It is said that 'literati are inferior to each other', but in fact, it is the same in all walks of life.

These old celebrity chefs who have intersected with Old Man Tao can be called irreversible, which one doesn't think very highly of himself. Although the relationship between each other is quite good, and the brothers and brothers get along well, but when it comes to 'cooking', no one is really convinced! One by one, they think that 'cooking skills are the first in the world, even if it is God, they have to give way to the second place'.
