Chapter 524: Competition

Zhang Hongsheng actually came.

Last time the two were in the state banquet kitchen, the relationship was quite good, but I didn't expect him to come with these people today.

While Gao Dian was surprised, his mood was also a little complicated.

Zhang Hongsheng was also looking at Gao Dian, his mood at the moment was no better than Gao Dian, it was also a little complicated and difficult to understand.

However, at this moment, he did not speak.

Yang Yongchang was the first to speak, and as the leader, he was the most suitable to speak.

"Chef Gao, we came to you today because we have something to discuss with you." Yang Yongchang said.

Gao Dian didn't have much affection for this old man, and even a little disgusted.

After so many days, of course he knew who was against him and who was stopping him.

Yang Yongchang is the leader of these people.

"What do you want to discuss with me? If you come to persuade me to give up, I don't think I'll give up, I won't give up. Gao Dian said with a cold face.

Naturally, he wouldn't give the other side a good look, there was no need for that.

And Yang Yongchang didn't feel very angry when he saw Gao Dian's attitude.

He knew in his heart that it was difficult for him and Gao Dian to talk well.

Of course, he didn't think he was doing anything wrong.

"Of course not, I know we can't persuade you." Yang Yongchang said.

If persuasion could solve it, he would have solved it a long time ago. But he invited many people to persuade him, but to no avail. He had long understood that persuasion alone could not make Gao Dian give up.

"Chef Gao listened to me slowly, this time you and I have spent a lot of energy and resources, and we have not won or lost." Immediately afterwards, Yang Yongchang said.

"No score? I think the victory is already obvious, as long as it takes a while, you will not be able to hold on, and the final victory will be mine. Gao Dian said in a calm tone.

He was not wrong in saying this, now Yang Yongchang's side has shown fatigue, as long as they insist on persisting, victory will inevitably belong to them.

Yang Yongchang also understands this truth, otherwise, there would not be today's visit.

"Chef Gao is right, we may really not be able to last that long, but to put it mildly, if we keep interfering, I think Chef Gao will also be very uncomfortable." Yang Yongchang said.

When he said this, he himself was a little embarrassed. Gao Dian was even more shocked, he didn't expect this to come out of Yang Yongchang's mouth.

Although he doesn't like this, he has to admit that he has a very high status in the industry, and many people evaluate him as a respected old man.

Such obvious hooligan words actually came out of his mouth. This is to say, if you don't agree, I will keep harassing you until you get tired of it.

Afraid?

Gao Dian wasn't too scared, but it must have been troublesome to think about.

These people are very high-ranking in the industry, with many apprentices and grandchildren, and a large network. If he really moved, Gao Dian would have a headache.

He looked at Zhang Hongsheng who was sitting on the side, and his eyes were a little strange.

Zhang Hongsheng closed his eyes and said in his heart, don't look at me, I don't know anything. He didn't know that Yang Yongchang would say this, and he didn't know about it earlier.

Gao Dian took a deep breath and said, "Chef Yang is looking for me, tell me." ”

Gao Dian decided to listen to what was going on on the other side first, and then think about it.

Yang Yongchang said: "That's right, in order to prevent us from continuing to consume each other, and also to end this matter faster. I would like to hold a cooking competition with Chef Gao, and if Chef Gao wins, we will not worry about it and never interfere with Chef Gao.

If we win, then ask Chef Gao to give up the production of the instructional video. ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he was slightly surprised, they actually wanted to end all this in this way?

Soon, Gao Dian understood.

The other party has no choice, continue to consume, they will lose.

Rather than that, it would be better to directly compete with him, and the winner takes all, so that they have a chance to stop themselves.

Do you want to say yes?

Gao Dian thought in his heart.

The conditions put forward by Yang Yongchang are still very tempting.

Don't look at Gao Dian now, it seems to have the upper hand, but it is also a strong outsider, maybe there will be a little accident, and it will be a defeat.

Persevering is the safest and has a greater chance of winning, but in a cooking competition, it is to give up your own advantages and stand on the same starting line with the other party.

"How? Did Chef Gao say yes? Yang Yongchang asked.

Gao Dian took a deep breath and said, "I promise you, I will have a cooking competition." ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Gao Dian decided to agree.

If you really want to say it, it's actually safer to continue like this.

But he was too tired, not only him, but Wei Qiaoyi and everyone in Dianxinlou were very tired.

It's just that he is persistent.

If he could, Gao Dian really wanted to solve this matter on his own, but his strength alone was too small.

Now the opportunity is in front of him.

There is another reason, Gao Dian always remembers what Yang Yongchang said, and they can keep interfering.

If so, it might really drive people crazy.

So it was more prudent to continue to insist, but Gao Dian still chose to have a cooking competition.

He is confident in his cooking.

Hearing Gao Dian's promise, Yang Yongchang's face was overjoyed, this is great.

If Gao Dian doesn't agree, they will really have a headache, although they can keep interfering with them as they say.

But when they did, their faces were a little uncomfortable. This kind of thing is somewhat embarrassing, and maybe it will make them lose their luck.

Now that Gao Dian agreed, they were also relieved in their hearts.

Yang Yongchang said: "Okay, Chef Gao is a happy person. In this case, let's discuss the specific process and rules of the competition. ”

Everyone wants to win the competition, so the rules are discussed by both parties to ensure fairness as much as possible.

Gao Dian said: "Just play at will, make it at will, and finally compare the taste." ”

There are too many rules, Gao Dian feels that it is not necessary, it is better to have fewer restrictions, so as to give full play to the original cooking skills.

Yang Yongchang and everyone looked at each other, this answer was something they didn't expect.

According to their ideas, this competition should have a theme and a more detailed competition rules. It is necessary to conduct a multifaceted competition to determine the winner and loser.

After all, cooking has reached this point, and it is difficult to tell who is high and who is low purely in terms of taste.

But Gao Dian doesn't need this, just compare the taste, and don't set so many restrictions.

"Chef Gao, are you sure?" Yang Yongchang asked.

"What's uncertain about this, chefs are too restricted, so how can they use their cooking skills? There's no need for that, since you want to compare, let it go. Gao Dian said.

Yang Yongchang took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "Okay, since Chef Gao has said so, then let's try according to Chef Gao's meaning." ”

Gao Dian responded, and then said: "The competition time will be placed the day after tomorrow, and in the middle of the time, each will prepare the ingredients." ”

Yang Yongchang nodded in response, which was in line with his thoughts.

Although they came to talk about the competition today, it didn't start right away.

The preparation of ingredients is also a very important part, and the preparation of ingredients takes time, and it is impossible to prepare them in a while.

Gao Dian looked at the other side, to be precise, at Zhang Hongsheng.

Having said that, it is actually very clear that Zhang Hongsheng is the one who wants to compete with him.

Gao Dian doesn't need to think about this matter to know that these old men have been retired for many years, more than twenty years, and some more than ten years.

At such an age, after retiring for so long, I am afraid that the craftsmanship has already regressed, at least compared with the peak, it is far inferior.

They definitely won't play, otherwise, they will be given for nothing.

Among the crowd, Zhang Hongsheng also has the strength to compete with him.

Yang Yongchang said: "This time I competed with Chef Gao, and Master Zhang came. ”

When Zhang Hongsheng heard that he mentioned himself, although he didn't want to speak, he had no way to continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

He spoke: "Chef Gao, please give me a lot of advice this time." ”

Gao Dian said: "I don't dare to give advice. ”

Zhang Hongsheng smiled, knowing that Gao Dian was uncomfortable in his heart, so he didn't say anything.

This matter, the two sides decided like this, and there was no contract or anything like that.

Whether it is Gao Dian or Yang Yongchang's side, since they have agreed, they will not regret it.

So, verbal agreements are sufficient, and nothing else is necessary.

After negotiating this matter, Yang Yongchang and his party got up and left.

Gao Dian didn't leave them for a meal, he didn't want to stay and didn't want to stay.

After they left, Wei Qiaoyi quietly walked over.

She actually knew that Yang Yongchang and they were coming, but she never came, and she handed over the matter to Gao Dian to deal with.

No matter what happens, no matter what the outcome, she just needs support.

"What did they say when they came over just now?" Wei Qiaoyi asked softly.

Gao Dian told Wei Qiaoyi what Yang Yongchang came to say.

After Wei Qiaoyi listened, she frowned and said, "They are really in a hurry. ”

Aren't they in a hurry to put forward this kind of competition?

Gao Dian nodded and said, "Well, but that's fine, solve this matter quickly, so that everyone won't be suffering all the time." ”

Wei Qiao responded.

At this time, outside, Yang Yongchang and his entourage said goodbye to each other, and this time they came together to discuss the matter, and now that they have been negotiated, then they will go back separately.

Yang Yongchang also said goodbye to them one by one.

In the end, only Zhang Hongsheng and Yang Yongchang were left.

"Elder Yang, after this incident, I don't owe you anymore." Zhang Hongsheng said.

When Yang Yongchang heard this, he nodded and said, "I understand, after this incident, no matter whether you win or lose, you no longer owe me." ”

Zhang Hongsheng nodded, what he wanted was Yang Yongchang's words.

The reason why he came to help Yang Yongchang was because he received Yang Yongchang's favor and owed a debt of favor.

That was when he was young, and he encountered some difficulties at that time, if it wasn't for Yang Yongchang's help, I'm afraid he would have given up and continued to walk this path.

The kindness of the day, over the years, Zhang Hongsheng has returned seventy-seven eighty-eight.

Favor debts are the most difficult to repay, and it is not easy to pay them off.

This time, Yang Yongchang found Zhang Hongsheng and clearly told him that if he helped this time, then Zhang Hongsheng's previous debt would be paid off.

Zhang Hongsheng also agreed.

He had no way not to agree, but he always felt sorry for Gao Dian in his heart.

The relationship between the two was not bad before.

"Then I'll go first, Old Yang." Zhang Hongsheng said.

"Hmm." Yang Yongchang responded.

He sighed slightly, in order to stop Gao Dian, he lost all his face.

is like Zhang Hongsheng, when he helped him, he never thought about letting him pay off his debts.

In the past, it was Zhang Hongsheng who took the initiative to repay the debt, but Yang Yongchang accepted it in order to make him feel at ease.

This was the first time he took the initiative to ask Zhang Hongsheng to repay his debts, and when he said this, he felt that his old face was dull.

But he didn't have much choice but to do so.

You must know that Gao Dian is the top pastry chef in China, and there are only a handful of people who can beat him.

Zhang Hongsheng was the one he thought was the most likely to win, so he used his face in exchange for Zhang Hongsheng's shot.

Yang Yongchang shook his head, no longer thinking about anything, the matter had come to this, he had no choice.

…………

On the way back in the evening, Wei Qiaoyi said, "Do you need me to do something?" ”

Gao Dian tilted his head slightly and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Wei Qiaoyi said: "Prepare with both hands, in case you lose, let's really give up the teaching video?" ”

Gao Dian said: "If I really lose, then give up." ”

"But, you've worked so hard for so long, have you just given up?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.

"I've already agreed, and since it's what I promised, I should keep it. If you lose, then it's time to give up. Gao Dian said.

It is also very important to keep promises and commitments, and there must always be a bottom line in life.

Although he takes the matter of teaching videos very seriously, he is not so much that he will give up his bottom line.

Wei Qiaoyi said: "I know you, I mean, I'm here to do this." ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he immediately understood what Wei Qiaoyi meant.

She wants to be this bad person, anyway, Gao Dian just keeps her promise, she doesn't abide by it, and if she wants to scold her, she will scold her.

"No, you don't have to." Gao Dian shook his head and said.

"But ......" Wei Qiaoyi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Gao Dian.

"There's nothing to do, it's settled." Gao Dian's tone was categorical.

When Wei Qiaoyi heard this, he bowed his head slightly and did not speak.

Gao Dian paused and said, "Qiaoyi, I don't want you to give up yourself for me. In my eyes, you are the girl who shines, is confident and proud.

I don't want you to give up your own light for me, you should have a more wonderful life, not for me, give up all this. ”

Wei Qiaoyi is a genius, and now he is also a first-class pastry chef.

Her light is enough to be on a par with Gao Dian.

But since being with Gao Dian, Wei Qiaoyi has consciously or unintentionally restrained herself and silently hid behind Gao Dian.

This kind of thing is not what Gao Dian wants to see.

Everyone should have their own wonderful life, and they can all shine their own light on the big stage of life.

He hoped that Wei Qiaoyi would maintain her light as before.

When Wei Qiaoyi heard this, she was slightly stunned and didn't speak for a long time.
