"What you said makes sense, then we choose to rank the first list now?" Gao Dian asked.

Wei Qiaoyi said: "Well, let's be more stable, acceptance must be accepted, but not now." ”

"Huh?" Gao Dian looked at Wei Qiaoyi.

"Let's wait for a while, at least after your finals." Wei Qiaoyi said with a smile.

"Okay." Gao Dian responded.

In fact, he didn't want to affect his game because of this incident, and it would be best to wait until after the final to mention it.

The next day, Gao Dian replied to Editor-in-Chief Mo, and after discussing with Wei Qiaoyi, he decided that after he finished the finals, he would be ranked in the first list.

In this regard, Editor-in-Chief Mo also agrees.

After notifying Editor-in-Chief Mo, Gao Dian put the matter aside for the time being.

………………

"Old Yu, I still have to rely on your help in this matter."

Wang Hua said pleadingly.

In front of him, there was an old man, who was the old man Yu in his mouth.

Speaking of this old Yu, he is not a simple character.

He is the head of the white case chef in the state banquet kitchen!

The state banquet kitchen is divided into dine-in dishes and Taiwanese dishes, and the place where the dine-in dishes are located cannot be entered by ordinary people at all.

As for Taiwanese cuisine, although it is not as strict as the place where the restaurant is located, it is difficult to get in.

Yu Lao is the person in charge of the white case chef in the kitchen where Taiwanese cuisine is located.

He is a pastry master, but he is the younger of the masters.

Although it is rare to cook by hand these days, there is no doubt about its cooking skills.

After all, this old Yu has been staying in the state banquet kitchen since he was young.

If you want to enter the state banquet kitchen for the finals, you have to get the consent of this old Yu, of course, the procedure still has to go.

If Yu Lao agrees, those procedures will be like a walk, and if Yu Lao does not agree, then it will be impossible to enter the state banquet kitchen.

This time, Wang Hua will handle this matter.

"It's a little difficult." Old man Yu said with a headache.

Not everyone can enter the state banquet kitchen.

The people who work in it have all been investigated for their backgrounds, and their moral character must be passable.

After all, this is a place to cook a state banquet, and there is no problem.

"Old Yu, you can help." Wang Hua said.

He now has nothing but a request.

"The key is to compete in the state banquet kitchen, which is unprecedented, and it will be difficult for you to let me take it." Yu Lao said.

He wasn't telling a lie, there had never been a competition in the state banquet kitchen.

If it weren't for Yu Lao's old feelings, I'm afraid he would have rejected directly.

Now, although he said that it was difficult, he did not immediately refuse.

Wang Hua also knows.

"Old Yu, although I haven't had it before, I can have it now! Times are changing. Wang Hua said with a smile.

Yu Lao said: "You, this matter is really difficult to do, but I can help you ask, you must know that even if I agree, it does not mean that you can hold a competition inside." ”

Wang Hua nodded hurriedly and said, "I know, I know." Whether it works out or not, I thank you. ”

Yu Lao waved his hand and didn't say anything.

Wang Hua breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, in fact, he was very apprehensive when he came this time, for fear that Yu Lao would not agree.

Although the above told him that Elder Yu would agree, he didn't know the bottom of his heart.

There is no precedent for a competition to be held in the state banquet kitchen, and this is an exception.

Yu Lao looked at Wang Hua, suddenly thought of something, and said, "I seem to have heard that you have already announced that the finals will be held in the state banquet kitchen?" ”

When Wang Hua heard this, cold sweat suddenly flowed down.

"Yes...... Yes, I said. He snapped.

Yu Lao said with a smile: "I didn't know anything before. ”

Wang Hua hurriedly said: "Old Yu, this matter is a bit sudden. ”

Yu Lao didn't know the inside story, he heard about it by chance before.

In fact, he is very busy every day, and the person in charge of the state banquet kitchen is not so easy to do. He works hard every day, where does he have so much time to pay attention to the outside world.

He just heard about it, and he didn't pay attention to it before, and just suddenly remembered it.

Wang Hua didn't hide it, and told Yu Lao about what he encountered before the finals.

Hearing Wang Hua's explanation, Yu Lao also immediately understood.

He understands the urine nature of the organizer and is able to make this kind of decision, which is also normal.

"I'll help you ask this time, there's no next time." Yu Lao said.

"There will definitely be no next time, don't worry!" Wang Hua hurriedly promised.

He said in his heart, anyway, I won't be responsible for it next time, and it doesn't matter if I have it or not.

Yu Lao waved his hand, and then he stood up and left, he had a lot of things, and now he just squeezed out a little time to meet Wang Hua.

Now that the matter is over, he is naturally going to leave.

Wang Hua got up to see Yu Lao leave, and after he left, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter is finally a step forward, and the next step is to go through the procedure, and it can basically be done.

Wang Hua was also very helpless in his heart, in order to talk about the state banquet kitchen as a competition venue, he wasted a lot of energy.

Now is a crucial step, and the next step is much easier.

Of course, it's not easy yet, you must know that there are many rules for going to the state banquet kitchen competition, and it is also quite troublesome.

………………

"Master, I can't do it anymore, I want to rest for a while."

A young man said with a bitter face.

He didn't know what was going on, since his master went to participate in the competition, he came back like a different person, and he was training himself frantically.

His tired hands couldn't lift up, and his arms ached.

Liao Wenping said with a cold face: "Continue to practice, if you don't complete today's task, you can't rest." ”

"Don't, Master!" The young man called.

Liao Wenping turned a deaf ear, ignored his complaints, and left directly.

Walking out of the kitchen, Liao Wenping lit a cigarette, and suddenly the smoke filled and covered his face.

Liao Wenping's apprentice is now twenty-four, but he is still a second-level pastry master.

In fact, at this age, becoming a second-level pastry chef is already very good.

But people are afraid of comparison, and Liao Wenping used to think that his apprentice was not bad, his talent was good, and he was still working hard.

Now after seeing Gao Dian, Liao Wenping feels that his apprentice is not comparable to others at all.

Gao Dian's age is not much older than his apprentice, but everyone is already at the top level of a special first-class pastry master, and his apprentice is still a second-level pastry master.

The gap between these is too big.

He didn't expect his apprentice to catch up with Gao Dian, but at least he couldn't be too far behind.

Thinking of Gao Dian, a trace of solemnity flashed in Liao Wenping's eyes.

The final was played by him, Du Dawei and Gao Dian, but he was not sure of winning.

He was well prepared, but he was still not sure of victory.

At their level, the gap between them is not big, and no one can guarantee that they will win.

In the kitchen, Liao Wenping's apprentice secretly took out his mobile phone and complained in a group called "Gaodian Iron Fan Group".

"My master has been a different person since the competition, I am training twice as much as before, and I am not allowed to rest yet!"

Soon, the same complaints appeared, all of which were saying that their master had increased the amount of training, and they were complaining.

The people in this group are all fans of Gao Dian, but at the same time, they are also pastry chefs, and they know each other.

[Let's just say, is there a possibility that our training volume has increased, and it is related to idols?] ］

As soon as this remark came out, the group's grievances suddenly stopped, and it took a long time before someone posted a sentence.

[perhaps...... There is a possibility. ］

Liao Wenping's apprentice also felt that this possibility was very high, perhaps because the master was stimulated by Gao Dian.

"Why are you smoking again? Last time, the doctor said that you should smoke less, and you will cough as soon as you smoke. ”

A female voice sounded behind Liao Wenping, and he turned around and saw his wife.

He took off his cigarette, snuffed it out, and said, "Just took two puffs." ”

"Don't smoke a bite!" His wife said, and after a pause, she added, "Is there something bothering you?" ”

As Liao Wenping's wife, she knows him very well. Every time he smokes, he encounters annoyance.

Liao Wenping smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a cigarette addict, don't guess." ”

"I don't know you yet, we have been married for so many years, I know what you want. Let me guess, I'm worried about the finals, right? ”

Liao Wenping's wife said.

At this time, Liao Wenping couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You, I can't hide anything from you." ”

"You didn't say yes before, are you ready, why are you still worried about the finals?" Liao Wenping's wife asked.

"Well, I'm ready, but the plan can't keep up with the change." Liao Wenping said.

"Change? It's the young man named Gao Dian, right? Liao Wenping's wife asked.

Liao Wenping nodded and did not deny it.

Liao Wenping was not surprised that his wife could guess so many things.

He knew that his wife was a very smart person, and the restaurant they opened was able to develop to this scale mainly because of his wife.

He takes care of the kitchen, and his wife takes care of the rest.

He was able to catch up with his wife at the beginning, thanks to his cooking skills.

Liao Wenping's wife looked at him and sighed silently in her heart.

She was able to guess so much, it wasn't that she was really as smart as her husband thought, it was just that she knew her husband too well.

As a pastry chef and a genius pastry chef, Liao Wenping naturally hopes to win the first place in the National Pastry Chef Competition.

But for so many years, he has not won the first place once.

The best position, that is, the second place.

Becoming a champion has almost become Liao Wenping's obsession.

He is getting older and his body is about to pass his prime, so he may not have the energy to participate in the next competition.

So in this competition, he tried his best to prepare, just to complete his obsession and win the first place.

The only thing that can bother him is the final.

"You're afraid of losing to him?" Liao Wenping's wife asked.

Hearing his wife's words, Liao Wenping smiled bitterly in his heart, was he afraid of losing to Gao Dian?

He shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of losing to Gao Dian, but I'm afraid of losing itself." ”

After a pause, Liao Wenping said: "Actually, losing to Gao Dian is a good thing, after all, the future must always be handed over to young people." But I don't want to lose now, this is almost my last chance to win the title. ”

Liao Wenping's wife said softly: "It's okay, I believe it." Besides, even if you lose, you're still the best in my heart. ”

"You're the only one who thinks so." Liao Wenping said.

"Isn't it enough for me to think so?" Liao Wenping's wife asked.

"Of course it's enough, but beyond that, I'm still hungry for the title." Liao Wenping turned around, hugged his wife and said.

Both of them are middle-aged, and their children are about to graduate from college, but the two are still as affectionate as young people.

Liao Wenping's wife patted him on the back, then gently pushed him away, and said seriously: "You don't have too much pressure, you have to believe in yourself, you have made so many preparations, you will definitely be able to get the first." ”

Hearing his wife's words, the anxiety in Liao Wenping's heart dissipated a lot.

"yes, I see." Liao Wenping responded.

"Okay, don't think about it so much, I'll get busy first. Also, you are not allowed to smoke again, and if there is anything, you tell me, you are not allowed to smoke. Liao Wenping's wife said.

"Okay, okay, I don't smoke." Liao Wenping said with a smile.

Liao Wenping's wife paused and said, "No, you give me cigarettes and lighters." ”

"You're so worried about me?" Liao Wenping said with a wry smile.

"Humph! What do you think? Liao Wenping's wife said.

"Okay, okay, here you go." Liao Wenping took out the remaining half pack of cigarettes and lighters from his body and handed them to his wife.

"That's pretty much it, I'm leaving." Liao Wenping's wife said.

Liao Wenping saw his wife leave, and felt a lot better, but the anxiety in his heart did not completely dissipate.

He is not afraid of losing to Gao Dian, unlike others, others may feel embarrassed to lose to a young man, but Liao Wenping doesn't care about this.

Because he knows that sooner or later he will lose to young people, but sooner or later.

At the beginning, he also won against his predecessors, and now it is normal for his juniors to win him.

What he is afraid of is only the loss itself.

There were other things he didn't say to his wife.

If he doesn't win the championship this time, he may not even be able to keep second place in the future.

It's not because the peak is not there, it's because the state is declining. Aside from this reason, he probably won't be able to keep the second position.

Because among the young people, in addition to Gao Dian, there is also Wei Qiaoyi.

So he wants to win the championship and this is the last chance!

After a long time, Liao Wenping's gaze retracted from the distance, and he walked towards the kitchen.

As soon as he walked into the kitchen, he saw his apprentice playing with his mobile phone.

His face froze, and he said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?" ”

Liao Wenping's apprentice was shocked, turned around, and saw his master standing behind him, and he was still holding a mobile phone in his hand.

"Division...... Master, I didn't ...... Didn't do anything. Liao Wenping's apprentice said hesitantly.

"I doubled my training volume today." Liao Wenping said with a cold face.

"Don't~ Master!"
