Chapter Eighty-Six: The Knife's Gamble
The door to the second-floor office opened again.
Led by a hostess dressed in a red silk cheongsam, the three judges descended the stairs one by one and came to the rostrum.
When Xiao Yu saw it, he almost screamed, and the judge who walked at the back actually knew him, and it was Director Li of the District Health Supervision Bureau.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Wang Jianguo, the secretary general of the District Restaurant Association!" Boss Yang pointed to a polite middle-aged man at the front and introduced.
The middle-aged man nodded politely to everyone and sat down on the pre-arranged chair on the rostrum.
Behind Wang Jianguo is a middle-aged woman wearing a red wool skirt, with fair skin and delicate appearance, I can't guess her actual age, but it can be seen that this woman is very well maintained.
"This is Ms. Cao Hong, a well-known gourmet, and Ms. Cao is also a columnist for a number of food magazines in Shanghai."
When introducing this Cao Hong, Boss Yang was very proud, this is a well-known figure in the national food industry, if she can write an interview for her food city, then it is difficult for her business to become popular.
Originally, he couldn't invite this gourmet, but he used his wife's ability to invite people out.
After Cao Hong sat down, Boss Yang introduced Director Li of the Health Supervision Bureau to everyone, and then walked off the rostrum triumphantly.
Those bosses were dumbfounded, originally they thought that this food competition, that is, an entertainment event before the Chinese New Year, would be over when everyone got together and had a lively time, but they didn't expect that this Boss Yang really took it as a big thing to do.
Now I have to make the bosses serious, not to mention anything else, just that Cao Hong wrote two strokes for himself in the food special issue or on the blog, which is enough to make his store famous!
Shanghai has such a large population, and the white-collar workers of those companies study where to eat all day long, and then go out in groups at night, even if it is one percent of Shanghai, no! One in 1,000 people know their store, so they will make a lot of money.
On stage, the hostess is reading out the rules of the competition.
Xiao Yu found Boss Yang, "I said Boss Yang, you are not interesting enough, why didn't I know the process of your game in advance?" We prepared a snack, so that even if we qualify in the first round, we can't compare the second and third rounds? ”
Boss Yang looked at Xiao Yu for a long time, and he didn't remember who this Xiao Yu was, until someone said a few words in his ear, and then he suddenly realized, patted his head and said, "Oh, it turns out that you are the newly opened noodle shop Boss Zhang, you are really young and promising!" The rules of this competition were agreed upon by our thirty bosses, and I sent someone to your store to invite you to the meeting that day, and you seemed to have gone out. ”
"Look, although I am the initiator of this competition, there are too many things to take care of, and then I forgot to inform you, look at my surname, this is really sorry! Sorry, sorry. ”
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out, see this Boss Yang apologize to himself repeatedly, what else can he say?
In fact, Xiao Yu knew in his heart that this Boss Yang definitely didn't take himself seriously, maybe in his eyes, he was an outsider who was originally a tricky character, and he just made up a number when he came, and it was not worth his attention.
A gloomy and sympathetic voice suddenly sounded next to him, "Yo, why did I say it was so familiar, it turned out to be Zheng Zhiming!" When did you come out? Don't tell Brother Liu, I'll go and set a table for you to catch the wind! ”
Zheng Zhiming is the name of Xiaodao, and Xiaoyu doesn't need to look to know who is talking at this moment.
"Liu Baocai, as the saying goes, good people don't live long, and disasters live for a thousand years, I really regret why I didn't stab you to death last time!" Knife said hatefully beside him.
The conversation between the two attracted the attention of the people next to them, and everyone wanted to know what old accounts were between the newly hired chef of Boss Yang and the buddy of the student boss.
Hearing Xiaodao say this, Liu Baocai's face suddenly changed, his footsteps moved to the left, quietly hid behind Boss Yang, and said to Xiaodao, "Zheng Zhiming, if you have the ability, you can try it, do you still want to go to prison?" Let me tell you, there are so many people here, I don't believe that there is no king in this world! ”
"Wang Fa? Hum! A rotten person like you is still worthy of talking about the king's law? Why didn't you think of Wang Fa when you bullied my sister? Knife's eyes suddenly turned red.
The people next to him suddenly burst into discussion, it turned out that there was such a thing between the two.
This Liu Baocai's face was red and white for a while, but he couldn't refute it, it was really embarrassing.
Although he hates the knife in his heart, he also knows that this knife is very ruthless, maybe he will really rush up and stab himself a few more times, and he really can't guarantee that he will have the good luck last time.
Boss Yang watched coldly from the side, and he was also a little disdainful of this Liu Baocai in his heart, although he also knew that this person had misbehaved and liked women before, but he didn't expect that there would be such a disgraceful past, no wonder his resume was unclear about the reason for leaving the five-star hotel.
However, this Liu Baocai was also invited by himself, this Liu Baocai has no face, and his face is not good-looking, for the sake of his craftsmanship is very good, he has to support him at this time, so that this kid will be grateful, and he can work hard to earn money for himself in the future.
Thinking of this, Boss Yang laughed and said, "This Brother Zheng, don't mention these things about Chen sesame and rotten grains, today is a food competition, if you have grievances, how about competing on the field?" ”
Liu Baocai saw that Boss Yang didn't care about his experience, and his courage suddenly became a lot fuller, his heart moved, and he squinted his eyes and said to Xiaodao, "Zheng Zhiming, since our boss said that there are more grievances on the competition field, I think, we might as well play bigger, I can make a bet now, if I Liu Baocai's Tianlin Hot Pot City can't win the first place in this competition, I will immediately roll up and leave, and if the hot sauce noodle shop represented by your knife can't win the first place, I don't want to see you on this Tianlin Road street every day. You won't be allowed to trouble me again in the future, what's the matter? Do you dare to bet with me? ”
Xiaodao was stunned, I didn't expect this Liu Baocai to force himself to leave with this competition, if the competition is only one round, he will not be afraid of him if he says anything, but this competition is three rounds, where can I find the other two snacks? Isn't that a sure loser? For a moment, I couldn't help but hesitate.
"Knife, bet with him!" Xiao Yu patted Xiaodao's shoulder, he had long seen that Liu Baocai was not pleasing to his eyes, and now he proposed this bet, just taking this opportunity to drive him away.
"But, boss, let's ......" Xiao Dao looked at Xiao Yu in embarrassment, he also knew that Xiao Yu had just learned about the rules of the competition, and he had not prepared in advance.
"Afraid of what? The barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, and what is he afraid of when he gambles? Let's not steam steamed buns to fight for breath, if you want to go, I'll go with you! Xiao Yu looked at the knife with a determined expression.
"Xiao Yu ......" Xiao Dao's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he was so excited that he could barely speak.
After a long while, he turned his head and stared at Liu Baocai fiercely, and three words popped out from between his teeth, "I bet!" ”
Liu Baocai was happy, and said loudly, "Everyone, you have heard, I, Liu Baocai, made a bet with this Zheng brother, if I can't get the first place in the competition, I will resign immediately, and if this Zheng brother can't win the first place, he will also leave Tianlin Road and find another job, please help us to testify." ”
This sentence was said very loudly, and the surrounding bosses and chefs heard it, and they couldn't help but muttered to themselves in their hearts, since this Liu Baocai is the chef of a five-star hotel, what is the point of fighting with the guys in other people's small noodle shops? Isn't that bullying? However, today's food competition is getting more and more interesting.
"Next, please come to the stage to draw lots and decide the group list for the first round of the competition." Miss Manners's sweet voice sounded on the stage.
Xiao Yu and the bosses took the stage one by one, drew a number in a box covered with a black cloth, and handed it to Miss Manners, who matched the numbers drawn by each boss with their store names.
Xiao Yu drew the '27' number, thinking that it should be on the side of the third group.
Soon, the list of groups for the first round of the competition came out.
A total of 30 restaurants participated in this competition, and Xiao Yu's hot sauce noodle shop was really divided into the third group, Xiao Yu carefully paid attention to the list of the third group, fortunately, there were only two noteworthy opponents, namely 'Wufangzhai' and 'Xiaolin Shop'.
In the second group, in addition to 'Chunxiao Building', there are four strong opponents: 'Dingfeng Snacks', 'Qingqing Pasta', 'Xian Lai' and 'Fengyu Shengfang'.
'Tianlin Hot Pot City' was divided into the first group, but only 'Aunt Yang's Dumpling Shop' and 'Fuwang Noodle Restaurant' were more famous in the same group as him.
Except for the second group, which belongs to the group of death, the other two groups of famous stores mentioned by Zhu Xiaohong should be able to easily qualify.
The facilities in Hot Pot City are all ready-made, and although it is a temporary competition venue, it is enough for more than ten shops to compete at the same time.
The representatives of the ten stores in the first group stood in front of the cooking table assigned to them, familiarized themselves with the equipment on the stage, and at the same time, took out the materials they brought from the big refrigerator in the hot pot city and put them into the Xiaoice box under the cooking table.
"Hehe, Baocai, it's up to you this time!" Boss Yang smiled and patted Liu Baocai's shoulder.
Liu Baocai's face was immediately full of sneers, and he said continuously, "Boss, don't worry, making snacks is a piece of cake for me, and our hot pot city is guaranteed to qualify!" ”
Boss Yang was about to listen to his words, nodded, and left the competition venue satisfied.
"Everyone, pay attention, the first round is about to start, the game time is fifteen minutes, three, two, one, the game begins!"
