"Knives! Penknife! Why are you here? A high-pitched voice sounded not far away.

Xiao Yu and a few people raised their eyes to look, only to see a big fat man with more than 200 pounds walking here, this fat man is a head shorter than the big cow, but the waist circumference is several times larger than the big cow, the meat on the body flickered when he walked, and there were two small eyes on a round fat face, and he smiled and narrowed into two thin slits.

Although this fat man is fat, he looks very festive and is not annoying.

"Hey, Dashan, why are you?" Knife also stood up in surprise and greeted the fat man.

After a few words of greeting with Dashan, Xiaodao pulled Dashan and sat down with Xiaoyu.

When the fat man sat down, the sturdy hardwood chair made a 'creak' sound, startling Xiao Yu.

"Come, Dashan, let me introduce you, this is my boss Zhang Xiaoyu! Boss, this is my classmate Wang Dashan in the chef training class in the past, you can just call him Dashan. Knife gave an introduction to both sides.

"Boss?" Dashan's little eyes widened, how could a student baby at such a young age become the boss?

"Hehe, you're a mountain, aren't you? I am Zhang Xiaoyu, the owner of 'Xiaoyu Hot Sauce Noodle Shop'. Since he was a friend of the knife, Xiao Yu reached out his hand in a friendly manner.

"Oh, it turned out to be the owner of the newly opened hot sauce noodle shop, fortunately! Fortunately! Dashan had obviously heard the name of 'Xiao Yu Hot Sauce Noodle Shop' and shook Xiao Yu's hand in flattery.

Xiaodao introduced Da Niu to Dashan again, and after several people got to know each other, they chatted.

Dashan is a native of Shanghai, with a thick Nanhui accent, but Xiao Yu and others can barely understand, this guy is now the chef of 'Chunxiao Lou', and 'Chun Xiao Lou' is led by him in this competition.

Xiao Yu was surprised in his heart, this is really a coincidence, the xiaolongbao that he ate last time he went to 'Chunxiao Tower' was made by this mountain.

Dashan has been working in Chunxiao Lou for five or six years, which can be regarded as the old land of a street on Tianlin Road, and the owner of each shop can almost name it.

With him, Xiao Yu gradually matched those bosses with the name of the store in his heart.

"Hey, Dashan, why don't you see Boss Yang in Hot Pot City?" Xiao Yu listened to Dashan's introduction, but he didn't see Boss Yang of Tianlin Hot Pot City, the initiator of this competition, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

"Boss Yang? Oh, maybe I'm going to accompany the judges! Dashan said casually.

"Judges? Where do the judges come from? Xiao Yu was surprised in his heart, just such a small street-level competition, do you still need to ask for a judge? And this Boss Yang also went to accompany the guests in person, it seems that the origin of this review is definitely not small.

According to Dashan's introduction just now, Boss Yang of this hot pot city can be regarded as a character, and his wife is a political axe worker in Xuhui District, and it is said that she is a small official.

In this year, it is impossible to open a store and do business without a backstage, and the scale of this Tianlin Hot Pot City is so large, if there is no one in the court, the three inspections of industry and commerce, taxation and health alone will not be able to cope with it.

Dashan scratched his head, and it seemed that he couldn't tell where the judges came from.

"Master Dashan! Master Daiyama! How did you get here? Let me have a good meal, the boss asked you, which snack do we make in the first round of the competition? A young cook, sweating profusely, came running.

Dashan glared at the young chef, and secretly scolded him in his heart for having no brains, could such a confidential matter be said in public?

Although this knife is his good friend, after all, they are competitors today, how can they casually disclose their arrangements to the other party?

Dashan glanced at Xiao Yu and them again, and stood up embarrassedly, "Boss Zhang, Xiaodao, our boss has something to do with me, and I lost my company first." ”

With that, he followed the young chef and hurried to the other side of the venue.

"This kid! How is it mysterious? The knife looked at the back of the mountain thoughtfully.

Xiao Yu's brows were furrowed, listening to the young chef's words, this competition seems to be divided into several rounds, could it be that each store still needs to prepare a few snacks?

Xiao Yu and they only prepared one kind of 'best chicken steak noodles', if things are really as they guessed, it will be troublesome!

"Xiaodao, you hurry up and inquire about the news and ask how the game process is arranged." Xiao Yu whispered to the knife.

Knife also understood the seriousness of the matter, and immediately walked to the group of chefs who were chatting hotly next to him.

It didn't take long for the knife to return.

This kid is usually the most calm in dealing with people, Rao is like this, and at this time there is a dense layer of sweat on his forehead.

"Xiaoyu, no, we were played, this competition is divided into three rounds, first divide the participating teams into three groups, the first round of the competition will take the top three of each group, and then the winning nine stores will be divided into three groups by lot, the second round of the competition, to determine the first place in each group, the last round of the competition, just choose one, two, and three in these three stores. The most important thing is that in these three rounds, the snacks in each round must be different, that is, if we want to enter the final round, we must prepare three snacks! Xiao Dao finished his words in one breath, and his face was full of indignation.

"Three snacks? Xiaoyu, let's prepare a snack! Isn't that a sure loss? Da Niu also said dissatisfiedly beside him.

Xiao Yu immediately recognized the seriousness of the matter, looking at the other bosses' calm appearance, they must have known the game process in advance, and only they were excluded, it seems that their group wanted to give themselves a new dismount, and deliberately did not inform themselves of the game process.

A sneer hung on Xiao Yu's lips, he lowered his head and whispered a few words to the big bull next to him, the big bull looked stunned, nodded, got up and left his seat, and walked outside.

Xiaodao saw Da Niu leaving, and asked Xiao Yu in puzzlement, "Xiao Yu, where did you let Da Niu go?" We'll have him in a minute! ”

Although this big cow is not as good as a knife in terms of cooking skills, but this kid has a brute force, ramen is a good hand, this time Xiao Yu they are researching new varieties, and the big cow is not idle, after his countless experiments, he finally pulled out the best noodles beyond Xiao Yu's level.

Now that he is gone, Xiaodao's heart is even more bottomless, could it be that this Xiaoyu has no hope of winning the game, so let Da Niu go back to work?

Xiao Yu saw Xiao Dao's concerns, and smiled slightly, "Xiao Dao, don't worry, I just asked Da Niu to go back to the store to get some things." ”

"Grab something?" The knife was even more confused.

At this time, a round-faced middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes and gold-rimmed glasses walked down from the office on the second floor, and behind him, followed by a fat man, this fat man's figure was comparable to that of Dashan, but his face was a little pale, his eyes were black, and he looked a little overly drunk.

"Boss Yang, it's Boss Yang who is here!"

"Boss Ma, look at Boss Yang, everywhere you go, you are dressed in a straight suit, where can we compare with this style!"

"What kind of style, not relying on his wife's relationship? Otherwise, can this kid be such a dog? ”

"Who is that fat man behind Boss Yang? It's like I've never seen it before. ”

"Well, I haven't seen it either, maybe it's a bodyguard?"

……

Some of the people below are sycophants, some are cynical, and more people are speculating about the relationship between the fat man who is following Boss Yang and Boss Yang, it seems that it is definitely not as simple as an ordinary employee.

"Huh? It was him???!! ”

Xiao Yu suddenly felt that something was not quite right with the knife next to him, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that the knife had blue tendons on his forehead, his teeth were clenched, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were staring at the fat man, as if he was going to rush forward and fight with him immediately.

"Knives! What's wrong? Xiao Yu pushed the knife.

Xiaodao woke up in shock, glanced at the fat man hatefully, and said to Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, do you remember the experience of my sister Xiaomei that I told you about last time?" ”

"Remember! What's wrong? Xiao Yu suddenly reacted, could it be that this fat man has something to do with Xiaomei?

Xiaodao said coldly, "This fat man is the chef of the restaurant where I used to work - Liu Baocai, the person who wanted to bully my sister that day was him!" ”

"It turned out to be him!" Although Xiao Yu had already guessed a rough idea, he was also surprised.

As the saying goes, it's not that enemies don't get together, this big Shanghai is so big, but it just let Xiaodao meet this Liu Baocai again.

"Xiaodao, I warn you, don't be impulsive, you have already been in prison once, if you deliberately hurt someone this time, it won't be as simple as a few months, if you go in, what will Xiaomei do?" Xiao Yu pulled the knife's arm while reminding him with words to prevent him from hurting people, he knew very well how much weight Xiaomei had in the heart of the knife.

"Xiaomei......" Xiaodao's mind calmed down instantly, yes, if she goes to jail, what will Xiaomei do? It's easy for herself and her to have a stable life now, Xiaomei may be going to Hongguang Middle School soon because Xiaoyu promised to help introduce her, is it because Liu Baocai is such a rotten person, and all this is easily destroyed?

"No...... Never! Xiaodao immediately made a decision in his heart and said to Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, don't worry, I'm not so stupid, it's not worth going to jail for this rotten person!" ”

At this time, Boss Yang had already brought Liu Baocai to those bosses, and said with a smile, "Bosses, I will introduce to you now, this is Mr. Liu Baocai, the newly hired chef of our 'Tianlin Hot Pot City'!" Mr. Liu used to work as a chef in a five-star hotel, and it was really my luck to be able to invite him this time! ”

'Huh?? Chef of a five-star hotel???!!!! ’

Boss Yang's words suddenly surprised the bosses, what is the chef of a five-star hotel in this hot pot city doing? Do you want to double as a stir-fried dim sum business? Isn't this a trick!

In the past, in addition to making hot pot, this hot pot city was at most selling mutton skewers, but now it is a spoonful of stew, and all eighteen kinds of martial arts?

Boss Yang looked at the expressions of the bosses with satisfaction, and said again, "From today onwards, our Tianlin Hot Pot City will be renamed 'Tianlin Food City', and in the future, I will ask the bosses to take care of it!" ”

"What ??!!!"

The bosses were stunned, although there is only a two-word difference between the food city and the hot pot city, but the meaning is very different, and a food city with a five-star hotel chef sitting in the neighborhood, it is like sleeping on a tiger couch, I'm afraid I can't even sleep at night, right?

No wonder this Boss Yang is so enthusiastic about organizing this food competition, it turned out that he wanted to win the first place and give the bosses a dismount, so many guests were there, and the reputation of this food city may have spread far before it opened.

The owners of some small businesses are nothing, and the owners of those larger shops have a little unnatural on their faces, and as soon as this food city opens, their business will definitely be hit.

Leaving those bosses aside, Boss Yang walked to the small rostrum, which was temporarily set up in the middle of the venue, adjusted the microphone, and began to speak, "Friends! Ladies and gentlemen! Now that everyone is here, I can't wait for you for a long time, so let's start this food competition, and invite three judges! ”

"Oh~~~Okay~ Let's get started! We've all been waiting for a long time! The guests cheered, and the excitement finally began.
