Chapter 260:
After drinking this bowl of coconut chicken soup, Zhang Jun immediately felt that he had come to the right place.
He put down the bowl and was about to put the hair Chinese medicine as a teacher.
Mao TCM is a doctor, and Zhang Jun has made up his mind to be a cook for the rest of his life, so he naturally does not cook with Mao TCM, but wants to learn the recipe of spices from him.
After listening to Zhang Jun's request, Mao TCM didn't seem to be surprised at all.
He said that he had actually been waiting for someone all along, waiting for someone like Zhang Jun to come to him.
TCM Mao himself is a complete gourmand through and through.
He is in his nineties, and throughout his long life, he has been looking for and creating a variety of cuisines. Because his specialty is traditional Chinese medicine, Mao Chinese medicine is of course close to the water, and he has integrated various Chinese herbs with strange aromas into different cuisines.
Mao TCM taught Zhang Jun a lot of Chinese herbal medicine.
Common spices, Zhang Jun is naturally no problem as a cook.
And some spices that have never been heard of have been matched with them, and the amazing effect produced on the ingredients has opened Zhang Jun's eyes.
Following Mao TCM, Zhang Jun learned a lot of knowledge about Chinese herbal medicines.
He also applied them to his dishes, and later, the dishes made by Zhang Jun became more and more delicious.
Zhang Jun is very confident, he thinks that his mastery of spices must be the best among all 20 players, so he is very confident in the next roasted dish.
The judges were all present.
They saw that the players in the audience were already in place, and after giving each other glances, Song Kun turned his head to signal the host next to him, prompting him to start.
Then, the host began to announce the upcoming matches.
Sure enough, in his narration, the contestants knew that the international food competition held by the hotel was really related to today's competition.
As mentioned in the previous competition, the second event is to test the contestants to cook a dish.
However, cooking is not something that the contestants can do as they want.
They had to choose a random dish from yesterday's international cuisine, and in today's competition, the dishes he cooked had to match the taste and style.
Hearing this, the twenty players began to be in an uproar again:
"What are the rules of the game? It's just inexplicable, how can we be equated with the food we eat with foreigners in terms of style? Isn't this nonsense? ”
"Who's to say it's not, cooking is originally a local talent, do you want to put some cream chocolate or something?"
"I wonder if the organizing committee is teasing us?"
"Don't say it, it's really possible......"
"That's not it, it's shooting, you see everyone is so serious, the five judges are there, it must be true."
"Really? How do I get it, I can't make this dish, thinking about the dessert with chili peppers, my head is big now! ”
"Don't say it, that chili dessert tastes really good."
"I didn't eat it, I don't feel comfortable watching it......"
……
The people in the audience muttered a lot, Yin Xiaoyue glanced at Chen Yufei who was standing next to her, she also felt very strange, and only heard her ask Chen Yufei:
"This competition is really unusual, it seems that our guess yesterday was really correct, and the international food exhibition is reserved for today's competition."
Chen Yufei snorted.
He seems to be relatively relaxed, after all, he has reached the top 20, although his inner expectations are far from being reached, but the results of the previous project are not bad, so even if he does a little worse in this competition, it seems that the impact is not very great.
Chen Yufei whispered to Yin Xiaoyue:
"Food knows no borders, and I think the judges are doing this to bring our Chinese cuisine to the international level."
"Oh, I see......"
Yin Xiaoyue nodded, but she still didn't understand, if you want to introduce internationalization, just promote it directly, why do you want to match it with those dishes, will the effect be impotence?
The two were right, and Zhou Anfu on the side couldn't help it:
"You don't know, I heard a piece of gossip last night."
"What grapevine?"
Zhou Anfu looked left and right, and saw that Wu Dong was checking something with a handbook with a handbook, and seeing that Wu Dong didn't have time to look here, Zhou Anfu whispered:
"You don't know about it, a lot of people don't know about it, it's said to be ...... It is said that the Intercontinental Hotel owes a lot of debts outside, and the international food festival is held to offset the debt with a supplier. ”
Hearing him say this, Yin Xiaoyue seemed to think it was unlikely.
She looked around, only to see that the lobby on the first floor of the Intercontinental Hotel was splendid, such a decoration price is not comparable to ordinary small hotels, and the casual furnishings are worth a lot of money, and from the expressions of the employees, there is no economic crisis at all.
Seeing that they didn't seem to believe it, Zhou Anfu smiled, and then added:
"Although we are in the same business as this hotel, we are doing a much smaller business, buying goods every morning and collecting money in the evening. But Lan Wenjuan's big hotel, it is a huge capital invested in the operation of the ......"
This time, Yin Xiaoyue seemed to understand.
Although she still doesn't know the specific reasons, she knows very well that the greater the investment, the more money it seems, it seems to make a lot of money, but in fact, in the end, it is the most difficult to turn over.
Yin Xiaoyue is not a rich person, so she can't understand the happiness of rich people.
But she also believes that rich people also have rich people's pain, and this pain, she also can't understand.
After all, matter is conserved.
Yin Xiaoyue feels that she is very good now, if she can keep Osmanthus Old Street according to her own ability, it will be the happiest thing in Yin Xiaoyue's life so far.
Chen Yufei on the side heard Zhou Anfu say this, and nodded:
"The stall is big, the capital operation is definitely more complicated than a small hotel, as for losing money or making money, it is actually a difficult problem for them to define, we just need to participate in the competition."
Zhou Anfu nodded as he listened.
From the last grouping, Zhou Anfu has always admired Chen Yufei very much.
Therefore, he agreed with everything Chen Yufei said from the bottom of his heart, and only heard him say to Chen Yufei: "Brother, my grades last time were not good, whether I can enter the top 15 alive this time, that is an unknown, you have to work hard, I am very optimistic about you!" ”
