746 Yangquan Restaurant Showdown (I)
Faced with the deal proposed by Liu's father, in the end, Merlin agreed.
Bring Abbe......
This was not Merlin's intention, although it is now a peaceful and prosperous time, in the process of traveling, there will still be all kinds of accidents.
As for Abbey, she is indeed a very good cook, but let's not forget that she is only a fifteen-year-old girl herself......
For Abbey, Merlin really can't let go, but he doesn't want to give up this rare opportunity. So, after thinking about it for a whole week, he finally gave the choice of the problem to Abbe.
"I'm going on a trip with you!"
Abbe's answer was sonorous, she didn't want to be separated from Merlin, even if the other party was looking for her past.
For Merlin, Abbe naturally has confidence.
She has lived with each other for half a year, and I believe that Merlin will be able to retrieve all her memories.
It's just that...... If all the memories are restored, Merlin will ...... Will they be back?
Abbe didn't dare to bet, she would rather go all over the world with Merlin than disappear in front of her like this.
It's as if Merlin's departure will never see each other again......
With such apprehension, Abbe made her own answer.
"I'm sorry, Dad, Mommy."
Facing the parents who raised him, Abbe was full of apologies.
"It's okay, don't worry about pursuing your ideals and happiness."
"We'll always have your back."
Liu's father and Liu's mother smiled, and the two had already guessed that Abbe would answer like this.
However, this way. You can't be lazy anymore.
Father Liu smiled helplessly. Never mind. I haven't worked hard for a while, so let's try to move towards a higher realm!
He didn't want to be surpassed by his daughter and son-in-law...... What the? Merlin isn't his son-in-law yet? How can it be! Know the drawbridge effect?
In the long journey ahead, whether it is a desert, a jungle, or an isolated island, the only one who can stand by Merlin's side will be Abbe.
If this goes on for a long time, even if Merlin is hard-hearted, in the future, he will definitely be successfully melted by Abbe!
Not to mention. In Merlin's heart, it is not true that there are no traces of Abbe.
Liu's father and Liu's mother, who have a lot of experience, couldn't help but smile secretly when they thought of this.
The plan of the two has always been foolproof, I think that at the beginning, it was precisely because of this ability that the old woman who didn't know how long she had lived would find them, didn't she?
Of course, it is impossible for Merlin to know the thoughts of Liu's father and Liu's mother. At this time, he just kept trying Abbe's dishes as usual.
Maybe it's deep enough. Or maybe it's just that Abbey's talent is outstanding, and after three weeks of sinking, Abbey finally understands what Merlin's extra moves are intended.
Just like the sentence that Liu's father often said - "cooking is used to bring happiness to people", Ah Zhai's superfluous actions actually play the same role.
It's like an autosuggestion, but whether it's Liu's father or Ah Zhai, their hints are that they hope that they can make dishes that make the taster feel happy.
This is the biggest difference between a master chef and a senior chef.
When it comes to culinary skills, the gap between the two sides that are already at the top is actually not very huge, and if you play well, the senior chef can even surpass the super chef, but even so, it is impossible to win the duel between chefs.
The reason for this is because of this desire to bring happiness to people.
Although it sounds a bit mysterious, it is not too difficult to do.
At least, Abbe can now enter that special realm anytime and anywhere while cooking.
Imagine that the person who tastes each dish is Merlin, and I hope that he will be happy and put him in the heavenly kingdom of food.
The girl's self-hypnosis is actually as simple as that.
The dishes full of love and expectation condensed every effort of the girl, and as the only taster of the girl's food today, the smile on the face of the otaku also unconsciously increased a lot.
"Well done, this time the Grand Chef Conference, Abbe, you will definitely win!"
Merlin didn't hesitate to praise herself, Abbe really did a good job, and her current cooking skills, even among special chefs, belong to the absolute middle level.
As for the higher realms...... It will take Abbe's time and experience to fill it slowly......
"Really? I'm going to do my best. ”
Hearing Merlin's praise, Abbe suddenly smiled, allowing people who like it to eat the dishes he made every day, this may be the happiness of the girl.
"Yes, come on!"
Merlin stretched out his hand and touched Abbe's head dotingly, perhaps deciding the relationship of traveling together, Merlin no longer had the initial estrangement from Abbe. Some intimate movements, he can now perform very lightly.
Just like now, Abbe, who was being stroked by Merlin, squinted his eyes comfortably like a Persian cat. From time to time, she will make cute moans such as "meow" and "whirl".
As for Liu's father and Liu's mother...... They would be a little surprised at first, then they would be satisfied, and now, in the face of the interaction between the two, they can continue to do their own things without changing their faces.
Show affection or something, it's not on the street anyway, and there won't be an FFF group haunting with torches, if you want to show, you can show it!!!!!
Well, Liu's father admitted that he was envious, his daughter's head, he hadn't touched it a few times since he was a child, and now, he was 'ruined' by Merlin!!!!!
I'm not convinced! I'm not convinced......, ahh
Liu's father, who was successfully attacked by Liu's mother in the back, finally recovered from the stupid dad mode, and looked at Merlin and Abbe, who no longer released the light of lovers all the time, and he had to admit it. Two people in the distance. Talented and beautiful. It's really a good match.
……
Time flies, and soon it's time for the upcoming Grand Chef Conference.
The so-called Grand Chef Conference is a selection meeting to select a Grand Chef from among thousands of chefs.
In every large city, there will be a place for this conference, and among them, the most severe and the most criticized Grand Chef Conference. It was held in Guangzhou.
The Grand Chef Conference in Guangzhou is not so much about selecting one person out of tens of millions as it is about strict screening without one among hundreds of millions of people.
Those who are not good at cooking will never be admitted.
Those who do not have moral character, even if they get the first place, will not be qualified.
The behavior of being tall among the short people may occur from time to time in other regions, but the special chef conference held in Guangzhou is ordered to prohibit.
After all, even if it's a chef. There will also be blowouts and troughs.
In the time of the blowout, skilled chefs can be found everywhere. At the end of the day, there are several people who can get the qualification of Grand Chef at a conference.
And when it is low, people who have the cooking skills of senior chefs may not be able to meet a few ......
It is precisely because of the strictness of the Guangzhou Special Chef Conference that the throne of the Special Chef will be so glorious and moving.
As time goes by, more and more big hotels will only recognize the badge issued by the Guangzhou Grand Chef Conference, and the special chefs selected by other cities are not impossible to recruit, but they will definitely not be entrusted with important tasks from the beginning like the chefs who have obtained special qualifications from Guangzhou.
Because of this, although the Grand Chef Conference is still held in other cities, the number of people who sign up is becoming more and more rare.
All the chefs who are interested in the special qualification, they will come to Guangzhou and give all their efforts for the few seats they have!
More than one term...... This is the scene of the Guangzhou Grand Chef Conference.
But even so, the judges of the conference did not have the slightest intention of relaxing the passing line, on the contrary, there were originally more than ten people entering the gladiatorial arena each session, but now, only five or six people were allowed to pass through the arena.
If you want to stand out from the crowd of competitors, then practice your cooking skills and make your cooking really worthy of the gladiatorial arena!
Even though the judges changed batch after batch, the rigorous and serious spirit was never discarded.
Because of this relationship, those chefs who participated in the Grand Chef Conference but failed, and finally gave the Guangzhou Special Chef Conference the title of "Ghost Judgment Ground".
And the people who were judged in this court were given the name of 'Demon Judgment'.
"Are you scared?"
Holding the letter of introduction written by Liu's father, Mei Lin, who had already come to the largest restaurant in Guangzhou, Yangquan Restaurant, turned his head with a smile and looked at Abbe on the side.
"Even if it's the end of the world, as long as Merlin is by my side, I have nothing to fear."
It was like a love talk, the two people leading the horses, obviously surrounded by people coming and going, but at this moment, the whole world seemed to be the only two of them.
"I'm sorry, but okay, don't stand in the way?"
Everywhere, there will be a group of people who don't look at the atmosphere.
Even if it is Yangquan Restaurant, this restaurant that has been in existence since the Three Kingdoms period is no exception.
As a male voice sounded, Merlin and Abbe's eyes were directly and forcefully interrupted.
Turning his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, there was a young man with shoulder-length green hair standing at this time, with purple eyeshadow painted around his eyes, and his face that was not angry and arrogant, and he didn't know how many guests who were about to enter the door for dinner were scared away......
"Hello, we are ......"
Seeing the appearance of the young man, Merlin couldn't help but glance at Abbe, and the two who had achieved the same acquaintance stepped forward and handed out the envelope in their hands.
It's a pity that Merlin, who was about to speak, only said a few words before he was directly interrupted by the green-haired boy.
"I know, it's already written."
The young man's words barely fluctuated, he pointed to the name of Father Liu on the letter, and then turned around and walked towards the inner room of the hall.
"You go and tie up the horse first, and I'll go and ask the Master of the Ten Perfections to come out now."
The teenager, while cold, doesn't seem to be an obnoxious guy, at least. At the time of departure. He still pointed out the direction of the inn for Merlin and Abbe.
Though...... Wait until the two of them enter the backyard of Yangquan Restaurant. They found a place where they could be tethered......
"Hehehe, I haven't seen you for a few years, Abbe, you already look so smart."
In the backyard, Merlin and Abbe meet what the boy calls the Ten Perfection Masters.
Although he is an old drunkard, when it comes to cooking, he is a well-known figure in the Chinese mainland.
At the age of sixteen, he became a master chef and traveled the country for ten years, then. When he was close to thirty years old, he became the legendary dragon chef in one fell swoop.
Such a past, in the eyes of anyone, can be called extremely excellent.
"Master Shiquan, it's been a long time since I've seen you."
Abbe bowed slightly. The relationship between Liu's father and Master Shiquan is quite good, coupled with the relationship between the two masters, the two sides will often discuss culinary issues together, and over time, Abbe, who was still young at the time, met Shiquan when he came to Guangzhou with Liu's father several times.
And perfectly. also knew the fact that Father Liu had such a lovely daughter.
However, what I didn't expect at all was this. But fourteen or fifteen-year-old Abbe already has a fiancé!
What the hell is going on in this world?! I met my wife at home, and I was close to twenty years old, okay?!
The problem of early love will definitely become the biggest cancer in China in the future!!!!!
He had read all the contents of the letter, and complained about this in his heart, of course, his expression was very calm, and he was completely like a grandmaster.
"Your father has already told me in the letter, these days, the two of you will be staying at Yangquan Restaurant. Of course, it's not free, and you need to do the work in the kitchen together. ”
Shiquan is the general person in charge of Yangquan Restaurant, and with his rights, it is naturally not a problem to put two people in.
What's more, he is also very curious about what kind of cooking skills the kid who can make Father Liu admit that he can't compare to him at all.
Give it a try.
With this thought, Shiquan was ready to take the two of them to recognize the way.
But at this time......
"Master Shiquan, if I can help you do this, it will break the rules."
The green-haired young man, who hadn't spoken for a while, had a cold face and blocked Shiquan's way.
Oops...... Forget that Jì still has this kid here......
Shiquan wanted to cover his face, but in order to pretend to be a grandmaster, at this time, he could only raise his eyebrows slightly.
"And, with the cooking skills of the two of them, there is no need to assess at all."
To tell the truth, Abbe has the qualifications of a senior chef, and Merlin, even among the master chefs, is definitely at the top.
Using the chef apprentice entrance exam to assess the two of them, even if Merlin and Abbe don't mind, they can't pull down this old face at all.
But unfortunately, Ji Di didn't know Shiquan's inner thoughts.
He is an upright person, but he just abides by the rules of Yangquan Restaurant, does not retreat, and stands in front of everyone.
"Rules are rules, and we should all follow them."
There is nothing wrong with the first, he abides by the rules that should be, of course, there is nothing wrong with everything, he knows the strength of the two, but he doesn't want to waste time.
But in this way, the two sides are caught in a rather bizarre tug-of-war, until......
"Abbe, she has the qualifications of a senior chef, and that should be enough."
Merlin stepped out from behind Shiquan and saw that he was insisting, and asked Abbe to show off her senior chef badge.
"As for me, if it's an assessment, please ask for a question."
Senior chef qualification, this is an item that is almost only owned by a few people in Yangquan Restaurant, and if such a person wants to do what kind of entry chef assessment, saying it will definitely make other restaurants laugh to death.
Although he is upright, he is not stupid, and he understands Abbe's cooking skills, and at this time, he finally chose to back down.
"Come with me, then."
Abbe has the strength of a senior chef, but Merlin has no evidence to prove his chef strength, and even if he is asked to participate in the assessment, he will not be said anything.
What's more, he himself has already agreed.
"Yes."
Merlin nodded, he glanced at Abbe, and when he saw that the other party understood what he meant, he prepared to go to the kitchen with the other party.
But at this time......
"After all, the simple entrance exam is still too simple, so let's try it directly with him, and the resulting dish will be considered a snack for everyone this afternoon."
With a smile of conspiracy success, Shiquan stopped Jidi and Merlin.
The reason why he hasn't said Abbe's chef level is that he hopes that Merlin can jump out from the sidelines, and as well as Di's character, a little more flexible method is obviously acceptable, in this case, take this opportunity to open his eyes.
I have to say that he has already passed half a hundred people, and his heart is as cunning as a fox.
And the upright Ji Di unknowingly became his 'accomplice'.
"I don't have a problem."
There is no need to hesitate, and he believes in his cooking skills, like Abbe, he has already obtained the qualification of a senior chef, and this Guangzhou Special Chef Conference is the stage where he is ready to try his skills!
Just warm it up in advance.
Thinking so, he looked at Merlin at the same time.
“…… Okay, but after the competition, I hope Master Ten will promise me one thing. ”
"If I can ...... it"
He didn't finish his words, and he seemed to see a smile similar to his own on Merlin's face.
A little fox? Just see what you want!
"Then it's settled."
Merlin, who was fully assured, smiled faintly at Abbe on the side, and only Abbe really understood his strength in the audience.
Because of this, after hearing that he was going to compete with Jidi, Abbe did not show the slightest worried look. (To be continued......)
