Sign, five-star praise one-stop service, all the materials were collected into Lu Jinxiu's space buckle, and it was time to check out and set off.

Knowing that they were leaving, Ding Mao and the others all came out to see them off.

Jian Yan also gave them gifts, the cooking experience she sorted out and the recipes she compiled.

"This recipe will be sent to you in advance, remember to study hard, and I hope to see you on the field in the next cooking competition."

Since the Gastronomy Association and Olive Branch jointly held an amateur cooking competition, the Gastronomy Association has seen that this is an event to discover chefs, and it can also be expanded to have a regular army competition to enhance the reputation of professional chefs.

The olive branch saw a business opportunity and signed a win-win contract with the gastronomic association.

The gastronomic association also wants a name, and the olive branch asks for money.

In short, he became an honorary special judge, and he didn't need to go on stage to compete with the regular army, just take money to comment.

The competition was held once, and the number of participants was small, and only eight professional chefs were gathered, but the effect was good.

The eight contestants who participated in the competition have all greatly improved their fame in the empire, and while driving the number of downloads of their teaching videos, they have also received invitations from high-ranking officials and wealthy people in foreign civilizations to organize banquets.

It's a real fame and fortune.

Ding Mao, who paid attention to the whole process of the cooking competition, responded very quickly, originally they had the intention of signing up for the second session, but now they take the initiative to invite, how can there be no reason.

"Don't worry, Master, we will practice well."

"Okay."

Jian Yan bowed his head with satisfaction, "If nothing else, I will be waiting for you in the judges' seat." ”

"It's okay if you have an accident, I'll keep an eye on you."

Ding Mao and they were under a lot of pressure, but they still smiled and nodded.

She was still about to speak, and Lu Jin, who was talking to them next to her, said, "Yanyan, we should go!" ”

"Hey, it's coming!"

Jian Yan responded, and told Ding Mao a few more words, and then got into the car and left with Lu Jinxiu.

The Black Star Twelve Domains are not a single star, but a small galaxy of twelve stars, which are closely connected, and can be reached from one star to another in three or four hours and as short as an hour.

The environment is worse than the other.

Natural disasters such as sandstorms and meteorite tides followed, and there were only less than three months of peace to live in a year and twelve months.

Because the resources are too poor, although the people here are doing business, they are as poor as ever.

The harsh environment and barren resources make the life expectancy of people here not long.

The average lifespan of the empire is three hundred and two, and the lifespan of the twelve domains of the Black Star is not even one-third of that of the empire, and it is considered a long life if you live to be seventy or eighty years old.

More often than not, they don't live to be forty or fifty years old.

Dying young at an untimely age is a rare occurrence here, and in order to replenish the lost population, people here will seize the void to create people.

Therefore, the birth rate here is 100 times higher than that of the Empire.

And because of the short life expectancy of adults, there are many orphans here.

Knowing this, Jian Yan was curious, "What do orphans live on?" ”

"We'll pay for it!"

Hou Shanbai said casually, "There is an unwritten rule in the Twelve Domains of the Black Star, orphans who have lost their parents are uniformly funded by the major forces, and after reaching the age of fifteen, the children in the orphanage must make a living by themselves, no matter what they do, as long as they can support themselves." ”

"That's how we came here."
