Before the competition, Xingsha City was plastered with posters of cooking competitions. Even the suburbs where the art chef is located have not been spared. Even when Rong Yu is watching small videos, he can occasionally brush up on promoted advertisements.

It seems that this time a lot of effort has been put into it.

Food festivals are often inseparable from economy and tourism. The culinary competition, the highlight of the food festival, will be like a shining pearl, firmly attracting the eyes of people from all over the country.

What is an outstanding representative of Cantonese cuisine, a leader of Shu cuisine, a master of Hunan cuisine, a descendant of the top private cuisine in Beijing, and a descendant of the 16th generation of gang cuisine......

The names are very big, and the origins are not small. But in the end, no one knows who these names are real and who is fake, as long as they can attract attention.

The festival lasts for a week, and the competition lasts for the last three days.

During this week, no matter day or night, several famous food streets in Xingsha City are bustling and flowing. Huge electronic displays and street lights illuminate the food court as a city that never sleeps.

Rong Yu couldn't walk anymore, and sat on a long chair set up in the middle of the food court, holding a large round barrel cardboard box with a lot of strings in it.

Huang Jia and Lei Xiao were like two generals sitting on Rong Yu's left and right, so that Nie Xiaoqing had no seat, so he had to sit on another bench back to back, holding his mobile phone and constantly taking pictures.

"Brother Yu, are you really not going to watch the game live?"

Huang Jia asked Rong Yu this question again.

Today is the day when Chef Fan Ran participated in the knife competition. But Rong Yu simply admonished him, and did not go to the scene to cheer for him. Because each hotel or restaurant recommended to participate in the event will have a quota for visitors.

"It's best for Zhou Yanyan to go."

Lei Xiao took over from Rong Yu to answer Huang Jia's question. Because Rong Yu was too lazy to talk, he explained to Huang Jia from the technical level, saying that if there was no shady scene, Fan Ran's knife work would have already touched the nuances, and if nothing else, there should be no big problem, and it would be easy to win an award.

Because the participants in the competition are all unknown chefs. Get an award to lay the foundation for your future job search and salary increase. A real celebrity chef who is already famous will not participate in the competition. And Zeng Qihui, as the referee, has promised Rong Yu that as long as it involves the competition in which the art chef contestants participate, the art chef will be given a fair chance.

With these assurances, is there anything else to worry about?

But Huang Jia was a little worried. The main reason is that he now regards the art chef as his only reliance, and he will rely on the art chef to eat in the future, and he values any honor of the art chef.

He and Lei Xiao are different, Lei Xiao and Nie Xiaoqing are going to leave in the end.

It is impossible for Zhang Desheng to let his son stay in the art kitchen for a lifetime, and it is good to be able to stay for two years. It's just a matter of refining the mind, and now Lei Xiao has indeed changed a lot.

Lei Xiao also knew this, so he didn't explain why he didn't go from a professional point of view, but from another point of view.

That's the relationship between a man and a woman.

Because this Huang Jia doesn't understand, it's pitiful, and he hasn't experienced what a woman's true feelings look like once.

"You mean that men and women are matched and they don't get tired of work?" Huang Jia looked at Lei Xiao and said disdainfully.

Lei Xiao laughed: "They are a couple, do you know what love bonus is?" That is to say, when men and women are together, under the effect of hormones, they will make people more passionate, and often a lot of inspiration is related to this. ”

Rong Yu has a deep understanding of this sentence, at least he and Qian Duoduo are like this.

nodded thoughtfully, and then Nie Xiaoqing glanced at him, turned around, and pulled a thick string from the paper tube Rong Yu was holding, and stroked it vigorously.

"And that kind of thing?" Huang Jia looked at Lei Xiao strangely, "Hehe, it's strange to believe you!" ”

"Have you ever been in a relationship?" Lei Xiao said.

Huang Jia's face fell, and he stared at Lei Xiao gloomily: "You are looking for a cut!" ”

"Haha, so you don't know what kind of super-level play will be performed when men and women are in love!" Lei Xiao shook his head proudly.

This is to be hated.

Sure enough, Huang Jia said: "Little Leizi, you said that men and women are in love, have you realized it?" You also said that you have a girlfriend, so you have been coming to Yichu for so many days, and you haven't seen your girlfriend once, hehe...... Bragging. ”

Lei Xiao smiled and ignored Huang Jia.

Now it's Huang Jia's turn to not give up.

"I'll just say it, I don't have a girlfriend and I say I have a girlfriend, so I feel like I can really love each other." Huang Jia smiled proudly.

Lei Xiao looked at Huang Jia and said, "It's okay to have one." As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone, clicked on the album, found a photo from it, and held it up to Huang Jia to see.

A photo of a beautiful woman, and the beauty hugged Lei Xiao and kissed Lei Xiao on the face. It's really hard to believe such an intimate behavior if it's not a girlfriend.

Huang Jia was a little proud just now, and he was instantly unhappy.

"It's beautiful!" Nie Xiaoqing stretched out his head from the other side, and let out a "tsk" exclamation.

"Broke up!"

Lei Xiao smiled, and then put the photo away, as if he was mentioning an insignificant past, and took strings from the paper tube held by Rong Yu.

"Haha-"

Huang Jia slapped his thigh and laughed.

"You're not much better than me!"

Lei Xiao looked at him and asked with a smile: "The key is that she loves me, and I love her too." That's the difference between me and you. ”

Huang Jia was choked again, and his mouth was sharp: "Is there a difference?" I don't think it makes a difference. ”

Rong Yu looked at Lei Xiao: "Because you came to the art kitchen?" "He was always able to see through the essence of things at a glance.

Lei Xiao nodded: "She thought I was here to be a chef." I even thought that as a chef, I buried the diploma I had obtained with great difficulty from a foreign university, and even thought that I might not be able to make a profit in my life. ”

"This is a blind man!" Nie Xiaoqing's ghost-like voice came from behind again, "I don't know gold and jade with eyes." This is how many of these tragedies between men and women are caused. ”

"That's it!" Huang Jia also added, "It's okay, brother, my brother will drink with you until you vomit today!" ”

Lei Xiao looked at him strangely and said, "Why should I drink with you until I vomit?" ”

Huang Jia stared at him with wide eyes: "Aren't you losing true love now?" How can you be worthy of your true love if you don't get drunk? ”

Lei Xiao laughed: "True love in the past, passers-by now." It doesn't have a dime to do with me now. So I don't have to get drunk. I won't go against the wind and pee......"

"What the hell am I ...... Looking for a pump! ”

Huang Jia stretched out his hand to pat Lei Xiao's skull, but Lei Xiao turned his head and dodged it. So Huang Jia stood up and shot again. Lei Xiao also stood up and dodged. Huang Jia simply ran over to shoot, Lei Xiao also ran over, and the two chased after each other on the food street, mixed with the laughter of the two.

Nie Xiaoqing looked at the two of them, his eyes were full of smiles, he stood up and sat beside Rong Yu: "I don't know if I will regret leaving Yichu one day." ”

"Then what's there to regret!" Rong Yu looked at her, "Didn't I say that?" The art kitchen is a post station, let the tired people rest, let the dream people set sail! ”

Nie Xiaoqing snorted: "I know how to pour chicken soup." ”

"I'm a cook, do you want me to have another old hen?" As he spoke, he touched Nie Xiaoqing's head.

"You're talking about me?"

"What do you think?"

"You're looking for a fight!" Nie Xiaoqing raised his fist in disgust and went to hit Rong Yu, and Rong Yu flashed over. Then Nie Xiaoqing chased and fought, Rong Yu ran, and Nie Xiaoqing chased and fought.

The four elders of the art kitchen are giggling in the food street, playing like children. It's as if there is nothing happier in this world than at this time.

Every bustling night in this city, there are bound to be many stories going on. It is also destined that these stories are constantly changing people's character and destiny.

Or mature, or difficult, or naïve, or proud......

"Now it's the number three contestant showing off his knife work – fish scale armor." The beautiful host walked to the number three contestant on the stage. The No. 3 player is Fan Ran.

What he showed was the fish scale armor knife technique that Rong Yu had done.

This is the subtle realm to get the knife technique.

The fillet processing is actually the most difficult. It is much more difficult to handle than meat. Because the fish meat is more delicate, the meat quality is not as tight as pork and beef.

Especially after slicing the fish into thin slices, if you use a knife on the fillet, there is a good chance that the flesh will be broken, or it will not be able to achieve the appearance of layers of scales.

This is not only the profundity of the technique, but also the creativity of the knife technique.

A plate of sliced fish was served in front of the judges.

The camera focused on Fan Ran's cut fish fillet, and then a judge clamped the fish fillet, and it immediately unfolded in the air like fish scale armor, but the fish meat was not messed up at all.

"This kind of knife work ......" A referee who came closer to see turned his head suspiciously, and looked at Zeng Qihui, who was also sitting next to him, "Is it the sashimi knife technique handed down from Juchun Garden in the barbarian Qing Dynasty in Fujian?" ”

Zeng Qihui looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "I've heard of it, but didn't it say that it had been lost a long time ago?" ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

"Tsk, I didn't expect it!"

This judge is also a veteran qualification, the famous gourmand Zhan Nuohuai, one of the four major gourmand known in the country.

The other judge also seems to know about this knife technique, but he has only heard of it, but has not seen it. First, because of the development of modern cuisine, some knife techniques have not adapted to the needs of rapidly developing cuisine. The second is that although some knife techniques are subtle to the point of being bumpy, they are very cumbersome and do not adapt to the modern fast catering culture. It is understandable that it is lost.

It's just that it seems that Fan Ran's contestant just now made such a plate of fish scale fish fillets, and it didn't take longer than the usual fish fillets, but they were a little surprised.

The judge with the fish fillet also took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight function, and took a photo of the fish fillet, while instructing the host: "Please turn off the lights." ”

Although the host was surprised, he did so and asked the staff to close the wait. Suddenly, the entire competition venue went to the judges' bench in pitch black, and the flashlight shone on the piece of fish, and the shadow was printed on the wall.

The black shadows, evenly spaced between the scales, in the interval between the dark and the light, seemed to really look like a pair of fish scale armor, which made everyone involuntarily "oh" exclaim.
