When they received the challenge from Yalinju, in fact, many of the more famous restaurants were not very willing to participate, because if Yalinju lost any game, it would be very stressful to directly open all restaurants and teahouses under Yalinju to entertain all guests for free for a month.

This shows that people have a trick to win, and they will definitely win, of course, it may be just a cover......

When they were very entangled, they all received an invitation letter from Yalinju, which clearly wrote the rules of the competition, and the most important thing was that the prize given by Yalinju was the three most popular recipes of Yalinju's most popular cakes, butter biscuits, and hot pot bases.

When Yalinju's business was so good at the beginning, there were actually many people who wanted to buy Yalinju's recipes, or bribed the clerks in it, wanted to steal the recipes, and they did everything for the recipes.

But I didn't expect Yalinju to take the three most popular recipes as prizes today, the opportunity is right in front of you, how can you let it go?

The big guys have carefully considered it, regardless of whether Yalinju will win or not, it is also beneficial for them to participate, when the chefs operate like a smooth operation at the cooking table, and when they launch exquisite plating works, these must be shown to everyone, which is nothing more than an alternative advertisement. Even if Yalinju really ranks first, there are second and third places down, how to say that it is on the list, it can be regarded as adding to the popularity of the restaurant in disguise.

Therefore, there are many restaurants and restaurants that come to the competition, some for the recipes of Yalinju, and some for advertising in disguise.

Celebrity chefs from restaurants all over the country have rushed to the Twin Restaurants one after another, including many famous chefs from Beijing restaurants, but this time Juxian Pavilion did not participate in it, which made many people very strange.

In order to allow these chefs to have a good resting environment, Lin Xia closed to the public five days before the competition, that is, on June 15, and only received people who came to participate in the competition.

Registration closes on June 18.

Qian Dong looked at the registration list and was speechless, there were actually ninety-six restaurants that came to participate in the cooking competition, including from Chaoyang City, Jimo City, Yaohai City, Jinling City and other places, you can imagine how sensational this cooking competition is.

The competition system is based on the promotion match, originally Lin Xia wanted to design it as a ring match, but considering that there are too many people who come to the competition, if it is really a family to compare, then she Yalinju must at least have ninety-six dishes to participate in the work, which is simply impossible, so the competition system was changed.

On June 19, Lei Biao and Lin Xia held a meeting with the heads of 95 restaurants in the lobby of the Wangxing Tower of the Twin Restaurants to explain the rules of the competition, but when they came to register yesterday, they had already sent them the rules brochure.

When Lei Biao and Lin Xia appeared, everyone's attention was on Lei Biao, seeing that he was a tall and mighty man, everyone couldn't believe that this big man had such a delicate mind to draw up such a set of rules, and there were almost no loopholes to drill.

What was even more surprising was that He Mu from Juxian Pavilion also came to the meeting, followed by three men, I don't know where they came from.

After introducing each other, Lin Xia stood up slightly, her lower abdomen bulged very obviously, and her whole body exuded the light of maternal love, only to see the corners of her lips slightly raised and smiled: "Can you understand the rules of the game?" If there's something you don't understand, you can ask me. ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, just now everyone didn't take Lin Xia in their eyes at all, but they just thought that this lady was just bored and came to participate, this voice, obviously this rule was set by Lin Xia.

Everyone was a little surprised, they didn't expect this lady to have such a delicate mind.

Looking at the rules on the paper, the cooking competition will be held for seven days, with a theme for each day, and the judges will announce the theme on the same day, but considering that the first day is equivalent to an audition, an extra day will be added to participate in the competition.

Each contestant will pay an entry fee of 500 taels of silver, and the entire registration fee will be divided into fifteen equal parts, with five for the first place, four for the second place, three for the third place, two for the fourth place, and one for the fifth place. As for the three recipes of Yalinju, the first place will get three copies, the second place will get two copies, and the third place will get one copy.

And the venue, vegetables, kitchenware, etc. are provided by Juxian Pavilion, which is also one of the organizers of this cooking competition, in order to ensure fairness, Juxian Pavilion does not participate in this competition.

There are also judges this time, divided into expert review and mass review, the mass review means that the crowd queuing up to enter the venue on the day will be issued a number plate, and then by the juxian pavilion He Mu Gongzi in a box full of number plates to draw four lucky judges, and each round of four lucky judges, because of the large number of participants, is every six people in a round, and the lucky judges each round of a batch, in order to show fairness and justice.

Each contestant needs to get two votes from six judges to advance, and the competition time is limited to one stick of incense (half an hour), and those who exceed the time will be eliminated, but because of the time, you can bring a kitchen to help.

As for the order and number of contestants, they are also randomly drawn.

The rules are very detailed, and when you see that there are three expert reviewers written in it, everyone invariably looks at the three who He Mu just brought in.

Two of them are old men, both around fifty years old, and the other one will be known as long as he is from the capital, he is the prince of Wuxuan, he likes to eat, drink and have fun, such a major competition, he will naturally come to join in the fun.

Seeing He Mu arching his hand to one of the white-bearded old men, "This is Old Liu who has been an imperial chef for more than ten years, I think you have all heard of it." ”

When the words fell, many people showed surprised and happy looks on their faces.

In the restaurant industry, there is almost no one who has not heard of Liu Lao's name, and no one suspects that someone is impersonating, after all, Liu Lao has a golden tongue, and he can recognize the truth when he reviews.

And they all stood up and bowed.

Liu Lao smiled, cordial and amiable, raised his hand and said: "You don't have to be polite, the old man happened to be in the capital when he heard the news, so he and He Gongzi came to have a good time, if you can trust the old man, the old man must be a serious judgment, fair." ”

At this time, He Mu introduced the old man next to Liu Lao, called Gu Lao, who was Liu Lao's friend and used to be a generation of celebrity chefs, but now he has retired.

After He Mu's introduction, many of the restaurant leaders who were not familiar with the prince in the capital became more and more respectful, and they did not expect that even the prince was involved.

Wu Xuan looked at Lei Biao and Lin Xia with a smile, but unfortunately the two of them were calm as usual, Wu Xuan looked a little disappointed, but he still smiled on his face, "This Yalinju and Juxian Pavilion jointly held the National Cooking Competition, how can I be missing, although I don't have Liu Lao's golden tongue and Gu Lao's experience, but I can still eat the good and the bad, I'm afraid that everyone will have some objections to my judgment." ”

Everyone hurriedly waved their hands and said that they didn't dare, having said that, but the prince has been eating fine clothes and jade since he was a child, and the dishes he eats are all from the hands of the imperial chef, all of them are exquisite, this tongue must be very expensive, who dares to say that the prince will not eat it.

Liu Lao once made dishes for Wu Xuan, and when he heard him say this, he slightly hooked the corners of his lips. He knows that Wu Xuan has loved to eat since he was a child, has extremely high requirements for dishes, and has eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, this golden tongue is not inferior to him in any way, and if he comes to be a judge, it is also very weighty.

After greeting each other and understanding the details of the rules of the game, everyone began to draw lots.

There are a total of 96 restaurants participating in this competition, and every six contestants are divided into 16 rounds, with eight rounds of contestants on the 20th and 21st.

Lei Biao casually drew a number card, and the card said twenty, the first round.

Seeing what was written on the card, Lin Xiajiao burst out laughing, but she didn't expect Lei Biao to draw the first game of the first day, is this to make her preemptive and blockbuster?

After everyone had set up on the competitors who were going to compete, they all dispersed and prepared to go to the venue to see how it was going.

And Lei Biao and Lin Xia called the shopkeepers who managed Wangxing Tower and Wangyue Tower to the conference room.

"The two shopkeepers, instruct you to go down, you must carefully entertain all the guests in the Twin Restaurants in the past few days, so that they can have a good look at the extraordinary performance of our Twin Restaurants. Also, the cost of the contestants is 9% off, as for Liu Lao, Gu Lao and Wang Ye, it is 8% off. ”

"Yes! Rest assured, we will do our best! The two shopkeepers left the room in high spirits.

"Xia'er, do you really want to participate in the competition in person?" Lei Biao looked at Lin Xia with a worried face, the contestants representing Yalinju this time were Lin Xia and Zisu, not other chefs in Yalinju.

When everyone knew that the proprietress was going to participate in the competition in place of Yalinju, no one had any objections, because everyone knew that in addition to the dishes created by the chefs, most of them were actually created by Lin Xia, and many ingredients and spices were prepared by Lin Xia, and no one knew how many recipes and secret recipes Lin Xia had in his hands.

Lin Xia gently touched her bulging lower abdomen, her body had become a little bulky in the past six months, and she whispered softly: "I just want everyone to know that the real founder of Yalinju is me Lin Xia." ”

Although the atmosphere of the Wu Dynasty has been much more open than that of the dynasties in history, there is still a deep-rooted impression of women, such as this business, women can't do it, only men can succeed.

It's as if all the people in charge just now only paid attention to Lei Biao at the beginning, and didn't take her seriously at all.

But the real founder of Yalinju is her Lin Xia. Although these dishes were brought by her from modern times, many of them are not made if she wants to, most of them rely on her memory of this dish, and because of the ancient environment and limited materials, in order to be able to realize it, she also did a lot of homework, trying to find a way to bring modern food to this era in its original form.
