Yan Li glanced at her brother and said, "What do you want?" I don't have any other thoughts about your teacher, but one of my roommates asked me to ask. ”

Sometimes Yan Li also thinks it's amazing, her roommate obviously hasn't seen Gao Dian in person, but only learned some news about him on the Internet.

Yan Sen heard this and said, "Sister, do you know the dessert shop next door?" ”

Yan Li thought for a while and said, "It seems to be a little impression, that boss is a young lady, I remember that she is very beautiful." ”

Yan Sen said: "That is my sister-in-law. ”

Yan Li was shocked when she heard this: "Your senior mother? ”

"Yes."

…………

Wang Zhaohua looked a little worried, there was a problem in this competition.

This competition is not as simple as it seems, and there is a deeper meaning behind it.

It's just that no one else knows about it, and only a few people know about it.

The owners of several of their restaurants want to form an alliance, which must not be said on the surface, but the purpose of the alliance is to ensure everyone's respective interests.

Now that life is gradually affluent, the catering industry is booming, and many new restaurants have sprung up.

Several of them, as old restaurants, have also felt the pressure from these new restaurants.

Some small and even mid-range hotels do not pose a threat to them, mainly hotels of the same level as them.

The crowd of high-end hotels is not much, and it is not as good as the market of low-end hotels, and there are more newly established high-end hotels, so their market share will naturally be less.

So everyone proposed to form an alliance to advance and retreat together in the face of new high-end hotels.

To put it bluntly, in fact, everyone unites to crowd out the emerging high-end hotels.

In fact, this situation is not uncommon, and it will happen in many places.

When there is no external force, everyone fights fiercely, but once there is an external force that threatens the foundation of survival, then they will unite.

The alliance was quickly recognized, and some basic consensus was reached.

But since the alliance is formed, there must be a person who can stand up and speak in many cases, although the power is not great, but the influence is still very objective.

Which hotel will you choose for this talker?

Everyone is a veteran hotel, and they all have their own pride, you say you come, I say I come, and no one will accept anyone.

At the suggestion of one person, they decided to hold a cooking competition. In the cooking competition, the winning side is the speaker.

It sounds like child's play, but they're well thought out.

They are all old hotels, different from the kind of purely commercial hotels, their foundation is still cooking!

It is difficult to compare it intuitively according to other aspects.

There is not much difference in the establishment time of each family, at most it is more than ten years, and the heritage is still relatively deep.

The scale is also similar, not much different.

The influence, the focus is different, the corresponding customer group is also surprised, to talk about the influence, it is really not easy to accurately compare, in general, no one is convinced.

Cooking skills can be intuitively compared, and two people can see the level of cooking skills when they try it together.

And, there is another purpose for holding this competition, and that is to...... Publicize!

The previous cooking competition had a high popularity on the Internet, so this time they also wanted to follow suit and promote their restaurant through the popularity of the competition.

Those emerging hotels don't have too many scruples, all kinds of advertisements are played every day, they can't do it, they are also old hotels, and they have lost their identity by advertising every day.

The guests corresponding to high-end hotels are more attentive to the forced style, simply put, they don't want to go to the places that ordinary people know, and they want to go to places that ordinary people don't know much.

Therefore, some simple and crude advertisements are not suitable.

But there is no such thing as a cooking competition, and every chef who comes on the stage reports his name, and this advertisement will soon be invisibly out? In addition, when the chef shows his cooking skills, it is also a kind of publicity.

Wang Zhaohua is one of the people in charge, and there will be a person in charge of each hotel, and this game is organized by them.

At first, they agreed that only second-level and third-level chefs would be allowed to compete, and the rest of the chefs would not participate in the competition.

In the major restaurants, the mainstay is the second-level chef, and the third-level chef can only do miscellaneous work.

You know, each restaurant doesn't just make noodles or red table dishes.

Although there are eight major cuisines in China, each cuisine contains white and red dishes.

Strictly speaking, there is no difference between these two dishes in the eyes of ordinary people, but the way they are prepared is different, and the white case chef and the red case chef are derived.

It is impossible for several hotels to compete separately, after all, it is just a small competition organized by several hotels themselves, and there is no point in separating them.

After all, each restaurant focuses on different things, like the restaurant where Wang Zhaohua is located, it belongs to the dishes that focus on the white case, if it is grouped, then the group of white case chefs, Wang Zhaohua's hotel has a great advantage.

Vice versa.

The red case chef and the white case chef are mixed together to compete, and it is not impossible to compare, just look at the taste, and there is no point in comparing the basics and skills.

But just now Wang Zhaohua went to a meeting, and they actually said that they would let the first-class chef and first-class pastry chef also participate in the competition!

You must know that the level of a restaurant depends largely on the number of first-class pastry chefs and first-class chefs.

It was said before that the good first-class chef and first-class pastry chef did not participate in the competition, because I felt that there was no need for this, it was just a small competition, and it would be too exaggerated to let the first-class chef and first-class pastry chef participate.

But the others were very resolute, saying that since they wanted to compare, they would be thorough. The second-level chef and the second-level pastry chef cannot represent the real level of the restaurant, only the first-class chef and the first-class pastry chef can be represented.

As for a special first-class pastry chef like Wang Zhaohua, there is really no need to participate.

They are the organizers, and if they participate, it is estimated that few people are suitable to be judges.

In desperation, Wang Zhaohua could only agree.

Now, there have been some changes in the competition, and it is not appropriate to change it at the last minute, after all, the competition is about to start, and suddenly adding more competitors will definitely not work if it is placed on top of other competitions.

But they are a competition between several restaurants, and it doesn't matter if there are temporary players, anyway, it doesn't have much impact on the overall game.

It's just that......

Wang Zhaohua sighed and walked to the door of his office, the door was not closed.

He saw that Wei Qiaoyi was talking and laughing with Gao Dian, and the two of them behaved very familiarly, as if they had chatted like this countless times.

Wei Qiaoyi is considered to have grown up watching Wang Zhaohua, and in his eyes there is no difference between him and his own daughter, looking at this scene at the moment, he has a kind of old father's mentality in his heart.

It's the kind of thing that looks at his daughter and is abducted by other stinky boys, and it always doesn't feel good in his heart.

At this moment, his mood was only fleeting, and it was impossible for him to really pose as an elder.

Moreover...... Gao Dian's ingredients are a bit complicated, and sometimes Wang Zhaohua doesn't know what kind of attitude to use to face him.

At the door before, Gao Dian called him uncle, he didn't respond, and it wasn't all because of Wei Qiaoyi, this Gao Dian was also his little junior brother in a sense.

Thinking of this complicated situation, Wang Zhaohua sighed slightly in his heart and stopped thinking about it.

Walking into the office, Wei Qiaoyi and Gao Dian stopped chatting at the same time and looked at Wang Zhaohua together.

"Uncle Wang, is the game about to start?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.

Wang Zhaohua said: "The game will be postponed a little, but it is about to start. ”

There was some worry on his face, and he was barely smiling at the moment.

Gao Dian saw it, but it was not easy to ask, after all, he was an outsider and was not close to Wang Zhaohua.

"Uncle Shi, are you experiencing any difficulties?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.

Wang Zhaohua was slightly stunned by these words, he was thinking, is his performance so obvious?

However, Wei Qiaoyi asked, and he didn't hide it, saying: "A little change has happened in this competition. ”

When Wei Qiaoyi heard this, he said in a deep voice: "What's the change?" But because of us? ”

"It has nothing to do with you, it's just that among the people who participated in the competition this time, there are more first-class pastry chefs and first-class chefs." Wang Zhaohua sighed.

Hearing this, Gao Dian's face was as usual, but Wei Qiaoyi's face changed slightly.

"First-class pastry chefs and first-class chefs are going to participate?" Wei Qiaoyi raised her voice, obviously a little surprised.

Wang Zhaohua told her before that there are only second-level pastry chefs and second-level chefs, and at most some third-level chefs and third-level pastry chefs will participate in the competition.

But now, there are first-class pastry chefs and first-class chefs in attendance, which is not good news for them.

"Uncle Shi, or we ......" Wei Qiaoyi was interrupted by Wang Zhaohua in the middle of speaking.

"It's okay, you can wait in peace, I'll let you know when the game starts." Wang Zhaohua said.

Wei Qiaoyi's lips moved, and finally she could only respond.

Wang Zhaohua left the office, he still had to inform the others of the changes in the competition, and he also needed to ask the first-level pastry chefs to prepare.

After Wang Zhaohua left, Gao Dian looked at Wei Qiaoyi and asked, "Is there any problem with the first-class pastry chef and first-class chef participating in the competition?" ”

He was keenly aware that this time Wei Qiaoyi had something to say just now, but he didn't say it.

"You know that not everyone can be a judge." Wei Qiaoyi sighed.

Gao Dian can understand this, like the judge of the cooking competition, it doesn't mean that you can be if you want to.

Generally speaking, there are two main types of judges for cooking competitions.

One is a professional chef and the other is a gourmet.

In the case of foodies, the ingredients are more complex, some are food bloggers, some are food critics, some may be the CEO of a certain company, and some are the editors of food magazines.

In general, a foodie is a group of people who love food and have tasted a lot of food.

If ordinary people come, they can't be the judges, sometimes people will only think that they are all delicious, but which one is more delicious and where is delicious, but it is not very clear to distinguish.

"We are only first-class pastry chefs, if there are no first-class chefs participating in the competition, we will be the judges, which is more than enough, but there are first-class chefs participating in the competition......"

Wei Qiaoyi didn't finish his words, but Gao Dian already understood.

To put it simply, they are actually a little unqualified to be the judges.

The first-class pastry chef competition is okay, although the two of them don't say how qualified, but they can barely be qualified as judges.

But the first-level chef is not the same as what they have learned, and if the second-level chef is a second-level chef, they are nothing to be a judge, but the first-level chef is not.

Gao Dian frowned and said: "Since we are not qualified, it is a big deal not to serve as judges, or should we take the initiative to talk to Chef Wang?" ”

Wei Qiaoyi shook his head and said, "Uncle Shi rejected me just now, and I can probably understand what he meant." Now that there is not much time left before the competition, go and ask for another judge...... It's too late. ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, and he could understand it after thinking about it a little.

If you had done it a day earlier, there would have been nothing, but the game would not have started long in coming, and there was really not enough time.

"What then?" Gao Dian asked with a frown.

Wei Qiaoyi sighed and said, "Later...... Acting on the opportunity, I guess someone will come to find fault. ”

"Find fault? Why? Gao Dian was puzzled.

"Because we're not qualified." Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian frowned, the development of things was different from what he imagined, he thought that coming to be a judge was simply to be a judge, and it could be regarded as coming out to relax.

"Just because we're not qualified, someone will come to find fault? What is the rationale for this? Gao Dian asked.

Wei Qiaoyi said: "It's like a third-level pastry chef serving as a judge for your competition, you think, why? ”

Gao Dian nodded, he would indeed have this kind of thought.

"What does this have to do with finding faults?" Gao Dian asked.

"Someone will ask you to prove that you are good enough to be a judge." Wei Qiaoyi sighed.

"This is also a conventional rule, under the same chef level, as long as you are better than the other person's cooking skills, you can be a judge." Wei Qiaoyi said softly.

Gao Dian was silent, he thought for a while, and said, "Then what will happen if my cooking skills are not enough to serve as a judge?" ”

"Driven down." Wei Qiaoyi said softly.

Gao Dian's heart sank.

In fact, this situation rarely happens, after all, the people who organize the competition are not stupid, and it is a very humiliating thing for the judges to be driven down by the contestants.

As long as you don't have a pit, you will choose someone with sufficient qualifications to serve as a judge.

In most cases, foodies are invited as judges first, as they don't have to conflict with chefs. There will be no one to find fault, as long as the reputation is okay, you can serve as a judge.

Of course, Wang Zhaohua doesn't have a hole in his head, according to what they said in advance, with the level of Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi, it is enough to serve as a judge.

Who would have thought that they would change their fortunes on the fly, requiring both first-class pastry chefs and first-class chefs to participate in the competition.

When a judge was kicked down, not only did the person lose face, but the person who invited him was also embarrassed.

That's why Wang Zhaohua looked worried.
