After Yan Shoucheng's words, the meeting was suspended, allowing Su Ji to leave temporarily, and the others held a small meeting.

Half an hour later, Su Qi entered the conference room again, and there was already a result.

"Comrade Su Qi, after a series of discussions, we have decided to hand over the task of opening a vocational school to you, and I hope to see the school officially open in two years."

Su Ji suppressed the excitement in his heart and took over the task.

Schools don't just open their mouths and just open their mouths to rise from the ground.

In terms of money, the government can't give Su Ji too many pillars, but in order to show support, a piece of land was allocated to Su Ji, about 100 acres.

Su Ji emptied his family and got the title deed, on the one hand, he had a dream for the future, and on the other hand, he was a reality constraint, and then looked at the calendar on the table, it was not long before the chef competition began.

Suddenly, she had a feeling that whether it was for herself or for the sake of those children, she had to come back with a championship this time.

Professional things should be left to professional people to do, Su Ji took advantage of Lao Ou's way, found the design experts of Longcheng Design Institute, and handed over the design work of the teaching building.

The piece of land that Su Qi got used to be a river beach, but now there is no river, and the riverbed below is exposed and covered with stones.

In order to facilitate the laying of the foundation in the future, Su Ji had to hire someone to clean it up.

After such a calculation, Su Ji will not only have an empty wallet, but may also have to owe a foreign debt.

When Su Qi was busy with her career, some people began to play her idea.

Whether it is Su Qi's own woman who opened a factory and is doing well, or her husband is Yan Shoucheng, these multiple identities have made Su Qi the woman with the highest attention in Sheng County.

The day after Su Qi got the title deed, everyone in the circle knew Su Qi's next plan.

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and when the news reached Xiahe Village, a meeting was held in the village overnight.

After the meeting, Yan Shiyun was sent to Sheng County.

There was a bad time with Su Ji before, Yan Shiyun did not look for Su Ji directly, but went to the government to wait for Yan Shoucheng to get off work.

Unfortunately, Su Ji is now busier than Yan Shoucheng every day, and by the time Su Ji goes home, it will already be ten o'clock in the evening.

Seeing Yan Shiyun at his home, Su Ji was a little surprised, and after changing into a home clothes, he sat down on the sofa and asked politely: "When will the captain come, why don't you tell me, I'll just come back early." ”

Yan Shiyun smiled: "I don't have anything to do anyway, I can't disturb you to be busy with business." ”

Low-key is the key to success, Su Qi said modestly: "What is not right, I am just busy." ”

The kind words were in place, and the time was not early, Yan Shiyun hurriedly talked about his business: "When I went to the town for a meeting two days ago, I heard someone say, you plan to open a vocational school?" ”

Su Qi nodded and looked at Yan Shiyun.

Rubbing his hands, Yan Shiyun said what the village meant: "You also know that there are quite a lot of children in the village, because the family conditions are not good, many of the children can't go to school. This time, I know that you have this idea now, so I want to ask, do you have any work here, the people in Suqi Village will help you do it, and when your school opens, you will open a back door for the children in the village and let them study. ”

Rely on physical strength to change the child's future.

This is a good idea, Su Qi guessed, it must have been thought of by the patriarch.

Although he is the boss of the school, but in the future, his career development is big, and he definitely does not have the energy to go to the front-line management, and he gave this special case, which is not very friendly to management in the long run.

Su Ji thought of the recent construction site to start, and replied to Yan Shiyun: "In this way, the land where the school was built will be cleaned up recently, if the people in the village are willing, they can come to work, I will pay the salary, with this money, there should be no problem in reading to the children." As for the child's schooling, if the family situation is really special and cannot be supported, you can apply for funding from the relevant department of the school. With this subsidy, there is no need to worry about going to school. ”

Yan Shiyun looked at Yan Shoucheng and asked him to help speak.

Su Ji didn't give them time to speak, and explained: "Although this school is run by me, it also needs to be supervised by the education department, and opening the back door to the children in Xiahe Village is unfair to others." I started this school with the goal of giving children a fair chance to learn. I can't be fair myself, so how can I manage other people, don't you think? ”

Yan Shiyun was speechless, nodded and accepted Su Qi's suggestion.

After leaving Su Qi's house, Yan Shiyun stayed in the hotel for one night, and then went back the next day to explain to the villagers.

As soon as they heard that they could earn wages, many people were moved, and there were twenty or thirty people who registered Yan Shiyun.

That's all the work, there are more people, do it faster, and if there are fewer people, do it slowly.

After choosing a reliable person to be in charge from the middle, Su Ji completely let go.

Time flies, and it's time for the chef competition.

The competition is divided into two rounds, the first round is organized by each province to select the best chefs, and then participate in the national competition.

Two days in advance, Su Qi took Zhao Xing to Dragon City.

This time, the government will provide accommodation.

When Su Qi and Zhao Xing arrived, the other contestants were also waiting to check in.

After chatting, Su Ji knew the general situation.

This time, the event was communicated by governments at all levels, so each city sent people.

Many people, like Su Qi, are participating in this kind of large-scale event for the first time and are a little nervous.

Compared with Su Qi's calmness, Zhao Xing was a little excited, mingling in the crowd, chatting about his experience in cooking.

After Su Ji got his room, he moved in.

In this provincial competition, the dim sum category was not taken out separately, which meant that Su Qi had to compete with the masters of various cuisines.

Compared to the taste of other cuisines, dim sum may be a little monotonous, but in terms of color, dim sum can make a lot of famous food.

In order to ensure that he could stand out, Su Ji refused Zhao Xing's invitation and began to prepare alone in the hotel.

The time of the night passed quickly.

Keeping a clear head, Su Ji got into the organizer's car.

The venue for the competition was purpose-built, with dozens of stoves lined up and a square table next to it for preparing food.

The number plate and the location are corresponding, and they are assigned randomly.

The competition area between Su Qi and Zhao Xing was relatively far apart, and after reminding Zhao Xing a few words, Su Qi returned to his position.

The theme of this competition is the Hundred Flavors of Life.

Dim sum is different from stir-fry and takes a long time.

When the people around him had already begun to shake the spoon, Su Qi was still kneading.

As time passed, Su Ji lost his perception of everything around him, and devoted himself to his snacks.

"Ding—"

When the time was up, and as soon as the snack was taken out of the steamer, the host announced the end of the competition.

Thankfully, it caught up.

Putting the dishes on the tray and being served by the hostess, Su Qi's heart lifted again.

There are hundreds of people participating in the scene, and each dish is sung once, unless it is particularly brilliant, otherwise under the tired taste buds, it will not get too high a score.

Tasting, scoring, scoring, ranking.

For two hours, it didn't take long for someone to get tired of waiting.

Su Qi was affected a little, and looked into the distance.

Glancing around casually, Su Ji saw Xia Yulu's figure.

Zhao Xing came over at this time.

"I just saw the judges taste my entry, and their expressions are not particularly good, so I should not be able to win the award."

Su Qi retracted his gaze and looked at Zhao Xing beside him: "Victory or defeat is a common thing, just work hard, and let the rest take its course." ”

Before Zhao Xing came, he didn't think that he would win the award, but in this atmosphere, it was inevitable that some fighting spirit was born, and coupled with the communication with other people in the past two days, he overestimated his ability a little.

And today's actual combat gave him a heavy blow, and this blow made him feel a little depressed.

"I've been a little too high-profile these days, I used to be the number one in Sheng County, and I didn't take people seriously a lot of the time. So when people were eating, they asked me some questions, and I told them without hindrance. But they kept their mouths shut and didn't say anything. ”

Su Qi listened to Zhao Xing's words, and there was a trace of resentment.

"Are you blaming others for hiding it from you now?"

"No", Zhao Xing replied, but he also felt that he was not convincing in what he said.

Su Qi signed up for Zhao Xing, but he also discovered Zhao Xing's problem, and he stayed in Sheng County all the time, so that Zhao Xing had a psychology of superiority over others.

This kind of psychology makes him set high standards for himself when cooking, which is a good thing for the restaurant. But it is also because of this psychology that he always stands in front of his colleagues, and when he teaches his disciples, he always looks lazy to take care of him, which makes many people dislike him.

The chef is the heart of the restaurant, but a restaurant that is not united will not go far in the end.

Let Zhao Xing participate in the competition, just to let him understand through actual experience that there are people outside the world.

Zhao Xing's reaction now was within Su Qi's expectations.

Su Ji was not angry, and patiently explained: "If you lose the game, you can't blame others, mainly because your strength is not enough. This competition should be regarded as a long lesson, and when you go back, practice hard, and come back next year. ”

"I see that you communicated with people two days ago, and you also gained a lot of information, and you can be regarded as accumulating experience, so it is not in vain. As for those who you think are hiding their secrets, it may not be that they are hiding their secrets, but that they really don't have something. ”

All the expenses for signing up for the competition, including the fare to come to Dragon City, were all paid by Su Ji, and Zhao Xing was not only frustrated, but also afraid that Su Ji would be disappointed.

Now Su Qi's attitude made Zhao Xing breathe a sigh of relief, and after listening to Su Qi's words, Zhao Xing made a promise: "Don't worry, I will definitely improve my skills when I go back, and when I compete next year, I will definitely go home with the trophy." ”

Su Qi smiled with satisfaction: "After you win the award, I will definitely print you on the signboard in the store." ”

Unloaded his thoughts, Zhao Xing didn't want to waste time here, so he selected a few masters who he thought were powerful, took the initiative to get up, and exchanged experiences with them.

Su Ji turned around again and saw that the people on the judges' bench were looking at their dim sum discussions.

Judging by their expressions, it should be that there is a disagreement.

Su Qi wanted to participate in the national competition, and seeing that the faces of the two judges were more serious, Su Qi's heart rose, for fear of giving himself a low score.

"Why are you here?"

Su Qi, who was concentrating and watching several judges score their scores, was startled by this voice, shook his body, looked back at Xia Yulu, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Why are you here?" ”

Xia Yulu pulled her hair: "I'm admitted to university now, the school is near here, and we need to volunteer for the competition, so I'll come over." ”

Looking at Su Qi with disdainful eyes, Xia Yulu said, "You are here, specifically to participate in the competition?" ”

Su Qi replied: "Since you are a volunteer, don't you know if I have participated in the competition?" ”

Xia Yulu is a little minion at best, arranging for her to do some chores such as serving tea and pouring water and preparing props, as for who participates in the competition, Xia Yulu didn't care about it before, and she was not qualified to get the list.

But at this time, Xia Yulu would not let Su Qi feel that he was not capable, and said forcefully: "I'll just say, when I first saw the list, I thought I was wrong." I've been a fan of you for several years, and with your skills, it's okay to fool young people, but it's still a little far from coming to the competition. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a male master five meters away from Su Ji.

"That person is the master chef of the Dragon City Hotel, and most people can't eat the food he cooks on weekdays, and it is said that the ancestor was an imperial chef in the palace, and now he can make a few imperial dishes that only the emperor could eat before. This time, the winner must be him. ”

Su Qi also knew that person, and just from people's chats, he probably knew the details of that person, and in addition to admiring it, he was also a little more nervous.

Xia Yulu turned his finger and pointed to a young man not far behind him: "Don't look at him young, he was also taught by his family." Recently, after the relaxation of the policy for self-employed people, he directly opened a restaurant by himself, specializing in fighting with state-run hotels, forcing the master of state-run hotels to have to deal with him personally. ”

No matter what kind of mentality Xia Yulu is talking about now, Su Ji is still grateful to her for providing so much information.

Touching his chin, Su Ji decided to stay in Dragon City for one more day after the game, and went to two restaurants to try it.

Xia Yulu didn't hear Su Qi's response, and looked back at her: "How is it?" Are you scared? You have to know how many pounds and taels you have, is this place you should come to? Aren't you ashamed in front of so many masters? ”

"But it's better for you to come out and see the world, otherwise you will really become a hillbilly and don't understand anything."

Su Qi looked at Xia Yulu's villain's dewilled appearance, and couldn't help but sneer.
