Chapter 388: Held as scheduled
If the restaurant is unwilling to participate, it is not impossible to find a chef on the rivers and lakes to participate. Besides, could it be that there are still twenty cooks in the huge mansion city, it is simply a trivial matter, and as soon as they post this notice, I am afraid that they will rush to it for this hundred gold.
"Have you heard that the Xiangyan House actually held a food contest, anyone can go and watch it, and it is said that people will be selected to taste the dishes and vote."
In the past two days, there have been a lot of discussions, some people heard about it when they were eating in Fanlou, and some people heard it because they saw the notice on the opposite side, and the prize money alone is a hundred gold, which is not a small amount, although many people think that this prize is just a gimmick, but after all, it is the Miss Huo family who holds the food competition, which naturally silences those discordant voices.
"Then I have to participate, I'm a loyal customer of Fanlou, and besides, Chef Lu's craftsmanship is not something that everyone can enjoy, and now ordering a signature dish in Fanlou costs nearly one or two silver, which is not a small amount, if you can taste it for free, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing?"
While drinking, a few people wondered how they would be able to enter the food contest tomorrow.
"I'm afraid you don't know, the venue for this kind of banquet is limited, it is said that there is a limit on the number of people, but the entrance must be listed, if there is no sign, you can't enter, what do you say this is called?" The man was a little angry, could it be that those who did not get the listing should be turned away.
Another food lover said, "What are you guys doing these days? I went to the queue early to get it, and I'm afraid this tag has already been distributed." After he finished speaking, he protected the tag on his chest, for fear of being robbed by the gluttons in front of him.
"Why didn't you tell your brothers about such important news earlier? Quietly going to the queue alone, you didn't take a few of us to heart at all."
"It's because you don't look good at the notice, you don't even enter the door of the people's incense banquet house, and you still want to participate in this food competition, I see that you don't pay attention to the notice posted at the door on weekdays!" He straightened up his waist and was very proud.
Anyway, now that he has a tag in his hand, he will wait to go in and enjoy the food when the time comes, and as for the brothers, they will just make trouble for a few days and not get in the way.
"Take it out and show us, what does that tag look like?"
"You think I don't know, you just want to take advantage of the opportunity to rob, I'm not so stupid." After speaking, he didn't wait for the reaction of the brothers, and immediately ran away.
A group of them stared at each other, and none of them reflected and stopped them. When the others had already run away, they all stood up and scolded angrily, "This kid really doesn't know what to do!"
"Forget it, isn't it just a strange card, aren't we people afraid that we won't get it?"
But things are far from being as simple as they imagined, the strange brands of Xiangyanju are sold in limited quantities every day, and not only that, but also limited purchases. If you want a brand, you also have to fill out a questionnaire to see if you are a real gourmet, if you don't meet the requirements, even if you want to get a brand, it will not be given.
The brothers, who were still full of momentum before, immediately came out of the Xiangyanju with a disgraced face, and not everyone can do this selection of food judges. I thought that there were no ordinary strange brands, so I would participate in this food judge, but who knew that it was actually devalued by others as worthless.
None of them were elected, and they were tragically defeated.
"It's just unreasonable, I've tasted so many delicious foods, and I actually said I didn't know how to taste them! I don't deserve to be a judge of this food!"
"Big brother, don't be angry first, I'm being degraded to worthless, saying that my tongue is wood at all, and I can't feel the essence of food at all, it's simply insulting for you to say this, I don't eat food on weekdays, is it all wood?" He retorted with a red face.
"Okay, don't be angry, everyone, who knows if the imperial chef in charge of the review is real, let's check it out, who knows if the people from Xiangyanju lied to us?"
The three of them looked at each other, feeling that what they said was very reasonable, they couldn't lose face, and they must be convinced.
On the day of the game, it was crowded and lively.
The restaurants and restaurants next to Xiangyanju are rising with the tide, and even the tea shacks are full of people, all want to join in the excitement, just the gimmick of selecting the first restaurant and chef in Fucheng may not be enough to attract people, but the food judges are really attractive, if it is selected, no matter which restaurant comes out with new dishes in the future, people who appreciate food will be invited to taste, which is simply a thing that many gluttons dream of.
The most important thing is that it is free to taste, and you can choose from each restaurant, which is a kind of treatment, as long as you want to challenge it.
But this judge is really not good, not only to know all kinds of food cuisine, but also to export a chapter after tasting, a poem for food, or write an article.
This condition alone brushed a large group of people down.
After several rounds of strict screening, Xiangyanju still did not find a suitable person, and the final judges were all looking for famous people.
Huo Yuanyuan even found a family member, and begged his father with a dead face, you must know that since the last quarrel, the father and daughter have not spoken, because this matter has finally eased up for a while.
After Mrs. Huo knew about the quarrel between the father and daughter, she didn't have the heart to pray in Baohua Temple and went down the mountain.
"Mother, you can help me! You told my father, but he didn't nod, so you can help me find some famous people to attend." She held her mother's hand and shook it non-stop, hoping that her mother would immediately agree to it.
Mrs. Huo was very helpless, and in the end she had to do ideological work with Huo Zheng, which asked Huo Zheng to help find some famous people.
On the day of the game, after all the personnel arrived, Huo Yuan's heart was finally settled.
Ye Shuer also praised Huo Yuanyuan for being reliable, she secretly added fuel to the fire, and quietly hinted that she was looking for her father to help, and it finally had an effect. You must know that it is not easy to invite the gluttonies of those famous families, after all, they are all famous banquets, and they will never easily agree to the banquet.
Especially the old man Kong invited this time, his ancestors are also famous, and he has also produced a three-grade Beijing official, but in his generation gradually declined, his generation, there is no one in high school, and the reputation accumulated by his ancestors has gradually faded, but the humanistic feelings have been nurtured since childhood, plus the old man Kong, has always only been interested in food, keen to study, can be regarded as a real gourmet.
