A few days have passed, and in the past few days, Gao Dian has been preparing for the finals.

Life is a little dull, he goes to the office of Dianxinlou every day to stay, and when there is something, he deals with things, and he thinks about it alone.

His real practice time is after work, and he is practicing slowly at home.

Ma Hailiang often came to him to ask for cooking skills, and Gao Dian taught him without reservation. Many of Ma Hailiang's problems were not thought of by Gao Dian, which also made him think about noodles from another angle.

This situation has made him gain a lot, and he has some different ideas about his own path.

In fact, to the point of Gaodian, the progress of cooking skills depends on perception.

Mere skill practice can no longer improve his cooking skills.

In fact, Gao Dian has not gone so far on the road of a special first-class pastry chef, but he has already compared to the top first-class pastry chefs in terms of the taste of making pastries.

Thanks to his plug-in, he has improved very quickly in this area.

But he is not far on his own path.

This is not something that a plug-in can help, it depends on his own perception.

To put it simply, the noodles he makes taste good because he has improved the recipe well through plug-ins. He took advantage of the formula, not that he went further.

There has been no news on the finals, and it is not known when it will start.

On this day, a person came to Gao Dian's office.

"Editor-in-Chief Mo, please be seated." Gao Dian said with a smile.

The person who came was none other than the editor-in-chief of "Flavor" magazine.

"Mr. Gao, I'll get straight to the point, this time I came to find Mr. Gao." Editor-in-chief Mo said.

Gao Dian poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Editor-in-Chief Mo said slowly." ”

Editor-in-Chief Mo took the tea, took a sip and put it aside.

Then, he spoke: "I wonder if Mr. Gao still remembers what I told you before, the three major lists of our "Flavor" magazine? ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he nodded, he naturally remembered.

The three major lists of "Flavor" magazine are three lists of A, B and C.

Among them, List A is a ranking of high-end hotels, List B is a ranking of mid-range hotels, and List C is a ranking of low-end hotels.

When Gao Dian was still opening the Dianxin Shop, he still wanted to be on the C list.

However, at that time, Editor-in-Chief Mo advised him not to, because the C list had no credibility, and it was useless to be on it, and it was a waste of time and energy.

Gao Dian didn't think about being on the list, and after a long time, he slowly forgot about it.

Now that Editor-in-Chief Mo mentioned it, he thought about it again.

"Just remember Mr. Gao, this time I came to invite Mr. Gao to participate in the ranking of the first list."

Editor-in-Chief Mo said with a smile.

"A ranking? I remember that the first list is a list that can only be made by high-end hotels, right? Do we have this qualification? Gao Dian was a little puzzled.

The so-called high-end hotel is a comprehensive view, not just a single item.

Although Dianxin Building has developed rapidly, in Gao Dian's view, it is still a little far from a high-end hotel.

Especially in terms of influence, Dianxin Building and the old high-end hotels are not comparable at all.

This is the accumulation of time, and it is actually very difficult to surpass it in a short period of time.

Editor-in-Chief Mo smiled slightly, the current situation of Dianxinlou, of course, has not yet reached the high-end standard.

Although there is no standard for high-end in the outside world, as a food magazine, Flavor has set a standard internally.

From the scale, chef level, service and influence, etc., to comprehensively evaluate, only those that meet the standards are recognized as high-end restaurants recognized by "Flavor".

Of course, some people may disagree, but the vast majority of people agree, after all, the standard of "Flavor" is relatively high.

Dianxin Building is a little worse, but there are exceptions to everything, and Gao Dian is the exception of Dianxin Building.

In terms of the chef's cooking skills, with Wei Qiaoyi, a special first-class pastry chef, it can be regarded as making up for the chef's shortcomings. But Dianxinlou is even worse in terms of influence and other aspects.

However, in the previous National Pastry Chef Competition, Gao Dian's cooking skills have completely reached the top level of the first-class pastry chef and has become one of the contenders for the championship.

Such a level is enough to make up for the shortcomings of other aspects of the Dianxin Building.

Therefore, after the internal discussion of "Flavor", Dianxin Building was listed as a high-end hotel.

That's why Editor-in-Chief Mo came to invite Dianxinlou to participate in the ranking of the first list.

These, Gao Dian is not clear.

At this moment, he was only surprised, and he was wondering if Editor-in-Chief Mo had read it wrong.

"Dianxin has met our definition of a high-end hotel." Editor-in-Chief Mo said with a smile.

After a pause, he added: "It's still very beneficial to be able to enter the first list." ”

This sentence, in fact, could not have been said, the work he came to work was just to make an invitation, as for whether to participate, it depends on Dian Xinlou himself.

But Editor-in-Chief Mo still said this, and he can be regarded as showing favor to Gao Dian.

After all, Gao Dian's cooking skills are already extremely high, and Gao Dian is young and has a bright future.

Editor-in-chief Mo also wants to have a good relationship with Gao Dian, which is also a good thing for him.

The benefits of entering the first list, Gao Dian naturally knows.

One of the most obvious benefits is fame!

As the largest food magazine in China, Flavor has a great influence in the field of food.

Many people like to bring a copy of "Flavor" magazine when they travel, because it introduces the cuisine of all parts of the country.

If it can be on the first list, the advertising effect is very good.

With fame, Dianxinlou can develop better and better.

Of course, the benefits are much more than that, but not so obvious.

"I understand what Editor-in-Chief Mo said, but our Dianxin Building has just developed for a long time, and the difficulty of being on the list is probably relatively high." Gao Dian said.

To be on the list, it must take a lot of time and energy, but you can be busy for a while, but you can't get on the list, which is a loss.

That's what Gao Dian was worried about.

Editor-in-Chief Mo smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't be on the list, at least you can accumulate experience." ”

Is "Flavor" on the first list?

Naturally, it is not good, there are many high-end hotels in the country, but there are a few that can be on the list.

There are only 50 hotels in the first list.

You must know that there are far more than 50 high-end hotels in the country.

Gao Dian rubbed his eyebrows and said, "That's it, I'll think about it, after all, this Dianxin Building is not mine alone." ”

When Editor-in-Chief Mo heard this, he said with a smile: "This is natural, then Mr. Gao, you think about it slowly, and if you have a decision, just notify me at any time." ”

After a pause, Editor-in-Chief Mo said: "Mr. Gao, if you decide to enter the first ranking, you must be prepared, once it is carried out, it cannot be carried out again within three years." ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he nodded with a serious face.

After speaking, Editor-in-Chief Mo said goodbye and left, and he did not stay here for long.

…………

"Senior brother, it's all up to you this time, if you win the first place in the National Pastry Chef Competition, the situation may be better."

In one room, Wei Xu spoke.

The person next to him was Du Dawei, and Du Dawei looked worried at the moment.

He said, "First...... I'm afraid it's not good. ”

When Wei Xu heard this, he was stunned and immediately asked, "Why?" ”

Du Dawei said: "In the past two years, I feel a little inadequate, and my energy and physical strength are not as good as before. Although I can still maintain my form in the game, I haven't improved much compared to before. ”

Hearing this, Wei Xu was a little silent, he could understand Du Dawei's situation.

His father had also experienced this situation.

This is something that every pastry chef will inevitably experience, and as he gets older, his state will decline, and although his cooking skills and experience have not decreased, the taste of the pastry is not as good as before.

At that time, his father slowly withdrew from the industry because of this.

Now, Du Dawei's peak period has slowly passed.

"And I can feel that Liao Wenping came prepared this time, his cooking skills should have improved compared to before, and it is a little difficult to win him." Du Dawei said.

Now Appreciation House is facing a crisis, but he can't do anything about it.

Wei Xu was silent, and after a long while, he spoke: "It's okay, senior brother, you just do your best, it's okay if you lose, I can handle it." ”

With these words, Wei Xu was a little reckless.

Now that the Appreciation Building is facing a crisis, he actually has nothing to do.

He can find a way to solve the business problem, but he can't solve the cooking problem.

According to his idea, Du Dawei can win the first place in the National Pastry Chef Competition, so Appreciation House will be able to get a respite.

But Du Dawei doesn't have this confidence, and he can't put too much pressure on Du Dawei.

When Du Dawei heard this, he didn't speak, he wanted to win, but all he could do was try his best, and he couldn't guarantee that he could win.

The years are unforgiving.

Suddenly, Du Dawei seemed to think of something, and then shook his head again, throwing the thought out of his mind.

…………

In the evening, the Dianxin Building was closed, and the staff began to get off work.

In the kitchen, after everyone cleaned up, they went to change their clothes and get off work.

Wei Qiaoyi also went to the women's changing room, and after changing her clothes, she came to the office.

She pushed open the door and walked in, only to see Gao Dian still thinking hard.

"I'm off work, and I'm still thinking about it?" Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian raised his head and said with a wry smile: "No way, I have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise what if the finals start?" ”

There is no exact time for the finals, and no one knows when the finals will suddenly start.

Gao Dian is in a hurry, he is afraid that the game has started, and he is not ready.

Wei Qiaoyi also knows this, she understands Gao Dian's thoughts.

It's just that looking at Gao Dian's appearance, she suddenly felt a little distressed.

"Don't push yourself too hard, in case we can't figure it out, forget it." Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't push myself too hard, I know how to measure." Otherwise, before the game started, I would have collapsed first, and all my efforts would have been in vain. ”

"Well, it's good that you know." Wei Qiao responded.

Then she said, "Let's go, I'll send you back." ”

Gao Dian picked up his phone and looked at the time, and said in surprise: "It's been a while since you got off work?" I didn't notice the time. ”

The two closed the door and came to the place where Wei Qiaoyi parked.

Gao Dian didn't drive in the past few days, and Wei Qiaoyi came to pick him up.

It's not that he doesn't want to drive, but during this time he is often in a trance, and he is afraid that his mind will wander while driving, which is irresponsible for himself and others.

Simply, he didn't drive.

No, as soon as Gao Dian got in the car, he fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Wei Qiaoyi was a little helpless, but she didn't wake up Gao Dian, but let him think.

The current Gao Dian, a little as if he has gone mad, often thinks about ignoring the surroundings.

But Wei Qiaoyi has also had this situation before, so she can understand it.

Halfway through the car, Gao Dian suddenly said, "By the way, there is something I want to tell you." ”

Wei Qiaoyi was driving, and Gao Dian suddenly spoke, which made her a little stunned.

"You don't want things anymore? I just saw what you were thinking. Wei Qiaoyi said with a smile.

"Well, I suddenly remembered that." Gao Dian said.

"What's the matter?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.

"That's right, today, the editor-in-chief of "Flavor" came to me during the day and invited Dianxinlou to participate in the ranking of the first list." Gao Dian said.

Wei Qiaoyi was a little surprised: "Invite Dianxin Lou to participate in the ranking of the first list? Do we have this qualification? ”

As the bosses of Dianxin Building, the two of them naturally know the situation of Dianxin Building very well.

During the day before, Gao Dian was also a little surprised when he heard the news, and now it was Wei Qiaoyi's turn to be surprised.

"Anyway, that's what Editor-in-Chief Mo said, but I'm a little hesitant." Gao Dian said.

Wei Qiaoyi said: "What's there to hesitate about, this is a good thing." ”

"It's a good thing, but the question is, can we really make the list? Don't toss around, you won't be on the list in the end. Gao Dian said.

"You're worried about this, I don't think there's any need to worry about this." Wei Qiaoyi said.

"How?" Gao Dian looked at her.

"Anyway, the opportunity is rare, it's always good to try, besides, even if you can't make the list, it's not a toss in vain, at least we have experience." Wei Qiaoyi said with a smile.

"But the problem is that if you can't make the list this time, you won't have a chance in the next three years. My idea is, can we wait for a while, wait for the development of Dianxin Building, and then let's get this. Gao Dian said.

"Three years...... That's a problem. Wei Qiaoyi thought thoughtfully.

She didn't know these things very well, although she was backed by the Appreciation Building, Wei Qiaoyi didn't pay so much attention to it.

Soon, Wei Qiaoyi said again: "But I still think we can try, after all, we are still young, and Dianxinlou is still young, and we can afford to wait for three years." ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he thought about it seriously, and what Wei Qiaoyi said actually made sense.

Maybe it's better to try now, or prepare, who knows when to prepare?

Although three years is a long time, whether it is Dianxinlou or the two of them, they can afford to wait.

The next chapter is a bit late!

I'm sorry!
