"I'm sorry for the two of you, our restaurant is closed now, if you want to eat, please go somewhere else."

"We were invited to this culinary exchange, not to dine." As he spoke, Jiang Yuan handed over the invitation.

After checking the invitation, the waiter at the door handed Jiang Yuan and the others two badges with numbers printed on them.

"I'm really embarrassed just now, but I didn't expect the two gentlemen to come to the party. This is a two-digit number plate, please put it away. ”

Looking at the brilliantly decorated hall, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh that this shop was too tyrant, and the grade was different when he saw it.

At this time, there were already people standing in the hall, most of them talking to each other.

Jiang Yuan looked at the people around him who were all dressed in luxurious clothes, and then looked down at his casual shirt with jeans.

"Master, why are they all dressed so formally, we don't look like this, right?"

Ye Wubei glanced around and snorted coldly.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal, this is just a cooking meeting, there's no need to dress like a cocktail party. And I'm going to cook on stage later, so I'm going to see what they'll do then. ”

At this moment, an arrogant taunt came from the door.

"Old man Guan is really good, all cats and dogs are invited, and it is just plain and low-grade.

If you want me to say, this kind of thing will not be a master at first glance in the future, so don't invite it, lest they still think that they are really a character.

Especially the two dirt buns over there, at first glance, they are here to eat and drink, don't think that you are the king and hegemon in the poor countryside like yours, you really feel that you are the god of cooking. ”

With these words, a very arrogant figure walking met the eyes of Jiang Yuan and the others.

Hearing the words, Jiang Yuanqi didn't want to come to one place, so he wanted to step forward and theorize.

Who are these people? So arrogant! Did you provoke him?

Ye Wubei hurriedly grabbed Jiang Yuan and instructed in a low voice.

"The kid endured the calm for a while, you have to remember that this is not Tianling City, we have no foundation here, so we can't cause trouble.

And this person looks like a child of a family, so don't be impulsive. ”

Jiang Yuan let go of his clenched fist, "I know the master, it's me who doesn't think about it." ”

At this moment, the lights in the lobby suddenly dimmed a little, and an old and calm voice sounded in everyone's ears.

"Contemptible Guan Hai, thanks to everyone's view, I came thousands of miles to participate in this small exchange meeting."

The voice fell, and there was a compliment from the audience.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he saw this scene, there was no shortage of people who drilled the camp, was it necessary to kneel and lick it like that?

"Jiang boy, don't you want to underestimate the old man in the stands, he is a chef and a director of the food association, and his weight in the food industry is not low.

If you offend him, your future will be difficult! ”

Hearing the words of the fifth preparation of the night, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but correct his mentality.

At this time, the words of the old man on the stage sounded again.

"I took a look and there were a lot of people here today, not only the usual old faces, but also many new faces, which really flattered me.

Since there are so many new friends this year, I decided to change the rules of the exchange meeting to make it more interesting.

I'm going to divide everyone in the room into two camps, red and blue, so to make this game more interesting, please don't reveal your faction identity to others.

Because it's about whether you and even your side can win.

As for how to belong? To be fair, I personally think it should be decided by lottery.

I wonder what you think? ”

The audience echoed.

The old man raised his hand and pressed it down to show that everyone was quiet, and then continued.

"Since everyone thinks so, it's up to the lottery, and I'll introduce you to the other rules.

In each round, the system randomly selects four players to compete on the stage, and if you have already participated in the previous round, the chances of you being drawn again will be extremely low.

So don't worry about one player fighting three times in a row. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he picked up a card on the stove next to him and said.

"Did you see this card? If it has a kitchen knife like this on the front, then the owner of this card will be the representative of your faction, and as for the role of this representative, we will talk about it later. ”

The old man paused.

"In addition to the possibility of a kitchen knife, the card will also have an indication on it.

That is, you can optionally reveal your faction identity, of course, among these four cards, there will only be one card that will be written, and there will be no restrictions.

The other three will be forcibly assigned to the player, which may not match the player's current identity, or it may be the same, and of course, the player may also get a card with the word "confidential" printed on it. ”

At this time, a voice sounded and interrupted the old man's introduction, Jiang Yuan followed the prestige, it turned out to be the arrogant guy, I didn't expect him to even buy the old man's account, it seems that the background is deep!

"Old man, is it so complicated? Isn't it easy to see which is the best at cooking?

If you want me to say, it's better to go directly to the stage to compete, and then you will be evaluated by the old man, will everyone still not believe you, the old man? ”

The old man smiled and nodded, "Your name is Lin Feng, right?" ”

The man saluted the old man, "Yes, my father asked me to greet you on his behalf." ”

"I heard that you passed the Master Certification of the Food Association a few days ago?"

Seeing Lin Feng nodded, the old man stroked his beard and smiled.

"It seems that he is really a hero and a young man, Lin Hai has a son like you, I am afraid that he will have a lot of faces.

Well, without further ado, there are still so many people waiting here. ”

At this time, the old man raised his hand and made a gesture, and a waiter walked up to the stage holding a silver plate covered with a red cloth.

The old man tore open the red cloth and saw a book with a shabby cover come into view.

"This book is one of my favorite ancient cookbooks. As for why it was taken out? Mostly old man, I don't want to bring these things into the dirt.

In the future, every year at the exchange meeting, I will choose a book from my collection as a lottery for the competition. ”

As he spoke, the old man picked up the book and flipped through a few pages.

With the virtue of the old man, he should disdain to deceive people, and the paper of this book is yellowed and worn, and it looks like something of age at first glance.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look at the book in the old man's hand with fiery eyes, the name of this royal gold case can be described as thunderous.

It is said that the author of this book worked in the imperial dining rooms of many ancient countries, and wrote this collection of imperial gold cases after his retirement.

The book contains a list of the types and practices of various court dishes, and it is said that there is also a secret book containing the various seasoning secrets that are only used in the imperial kitchen, as well as various techniques and precautions related to cooking.

"I'm afraid that many of you here have the same questions as Lin Feng.

The reason why I designed the rules this way, in addition to making the game more interesting, is to give every player a chance to win the top spot, all in order to be as fair as possible.

After all, if you only compete in cooking, then most of you don't have a chance at all, and in the end, my collection will only go into the pockets of a few people, which is contrary to my original intention.

Personally, I think everyone should be treated fairly, of course, if you think it's too troublesome, I can also adopt Lin Feng's proposal, I don't know what everyone here thinks? ”

"Old man Guan, it's better to be fair, and the rules of your game look more interesting, Lao Tu, I can't wait to try it on stage."

The big man in the crowd was the first to speak.

I don't know how many echoes there are for a while.

The old man raised his hand and pressed it down, and the noisy lobby immediately fell silent.

In that case, let's move on to the rules of the game.

Each player on the stage has two opportunities to challenge, and can freely choose their opponent to compete, and each player can only be challenged three times.

As for who starts the challenge first, don't worry.

At the beginning of each round, the system behind me randomly assigns each player a random order at the same time as the player is drawn.

That is, it is distinguished by the number of numbers, and if it is the number one, then the player can choose the opponent to challenge first.

At the start of the game, everyone will receive 100 personal points, and defeating others will loot 10% of the personal points of the defeated person, even if they are the same faction.

Both the red and blue factions will receive 1,000 faction points at the beginning, and when the representative of that faction is defeated, 10 faction points will be deducted.

When a representative defeats a deputy, they will add 10 faction points to their faction.

When a representative defeats an enemy representative, they will add 30 faction points to their faction.

When a deputy defeats an enemy representative or a deputy, it does not add points to its own faction.

If the deputy defeats a representative of his own faction, he will deduct 50 faction points from his own faction.

If you defeat a deputy from your own faction, you will not be deducted from your faction.

At the end of the match, if the score difference between the teams reaches 500 points or more, the team with the score disadvantage will be judged as a loser.

As a word of caution, there will only be one representative from each faction, and the other will be the deputy. ”

At this time, the old man took the teacup handed by the waiter and moistened his throat.

"Forgive me, people are old and useless."

After moistening his throat, the old man continued: "Having said so much, I think you are more concerned about what kind of championship you can win, so let me introduce it to you."

In fact, it is also very simple, as long as the individual points are the highest on the field and the camp is not judged to be a failure.

If the requirements are not met, the position of the leader will be automatically postponed to the next one.

Okay, without further ado, let's start the competition. ”

After speaking, the old man turned around and sat on the judges' bench on the stage.

"Drag what? Isn't it just a set of imperial knife kitchenware? Will Lao Tzu covet you? I'm not afraid to tell you what kind of kitchen knife Lao Tzu's family has, it's just that I have more than one! ”

At night, the largest restaurant in the city of Tianjin and Hubei was drunk, and when he got into the van, he snorted at the restaurant.

"Who are they? Lao Tzu is disgusted when he sees you! Why don't you just touch it? What do you say so ugly? ”

Jiang Yuan shook his head helplessly, "Okay master, you are also a person with a head and a face, we will make people laugh when we scold the street in front of other people's stores." ”

Ye Wubei snorted coldly when he heard this, and then opened the car door and sat down, but he was still scolding in his mouth.

"Master, are we going back now? Or do you want to finish this game? ”

Ye Wubei opened the thermos cup and took a sip, "Don't play, hurry back, I'm angry this day." ”

Jiang Yuan responded with a good voice when he heard this, and then asked cautiously.

"Master, is your family really true? Did you win the Chef Championship? But I remember that in your personal introduction, you only won a silver medal. ”

Ye Wubei's eyes flashed when he heard this, and then he sighed softly, looking at the night view of the city outside the window, and was speechless for a long time.

"I didn't say anything, and I paid my life wrongly; The love is long, and the lovesickness is undiminished. After a farewell year, Shaohua is white-headed; There are no words for each other, only remembering the past. ”

After speaking, Ye Wubei sighed again.

"It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes!"

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but pout when he heard this, when did the master become so literate? It's not like your lines at all!

Of course, this is just thinking in my heart, and I will definitely not complain directly.

"Master, that's why you've always been single?"

After speaking, Jiang Yuan added: "Who is that girl?" actually asked the master not to marry in order to wait for her for life? ”

"Your master, I sighed, so many questions? Drive your car well. ”

Jiang Yuan nodded, "If you don't say it, don't say it, what's the big deal?" ”

The moon rises tomorrow, and the lights of thousands of homes in the world are bright.

The minivan was heading along the road in the direction of the Starlight Federation, next to the rushing Liuyue River.
