From a barbecue stand to a global gourmet tycoon

Chapter 67 Master Zhong Chenglin

Qin Jiangyi saw Lu Chenyu who had come late in the middle hall.

"Am I not late?"

Lu Chenyu is not busy with anything else today, but is in charge of the decoration of Chu Hao's new store.

These days, she has been looking for someone to help with the design, and she also designed it herself. She also sent pictures to ask Chu Hao for his opinion, and only started work after getting approval.

The new store will be beautifully decorated, but in this way, the budget will be overstated, Lu Chenyu's 20w may exceed.

But she didn't care. She wasn't going to let Chu Hao take responsibility for the excess budget. Instead, she wanted to take care of it herself, and she hadn't even told him about it until now.

"You came just in time, let's go in together."

Qin Jiangyi took a look at Lu Chenyu and found that she had dressed up carefully today, wearing a beige shirt, a black jacket, straight jeans, and a black and beige striped silk scarf around her neck. Her hair was enviable and draped diagonally. In front of the right shoulder, typical French style.

Qin Jiangyi couldn't help but sighed, and only her temperament could hold all kinds of neck scarves, so she couldn't help but joked: "It's pretty beautiful today."

Lu Chenyu's face turned red and he stood slightly further away. He also looked at his clothes, "Is this okay?"

Qin Jiangyi walked up and hugged her shoulders, "Okay, okay, it will definitely make someone unable to take their eyes away."

Lu Chenyu rolled his eyes, but the corners of his mouth curled up. He was so happy that he couldn't help it. In order not to let Qin Jiangyi see him smiling, he deliberately turned his head away.

Qin Jiangyi took all these expressions into her eyes, and felt mixed feelings in her heart.

After going through that relationship last time, is she finally untied now?

The two went all the way to the game site.

At this moment, contestant No. 3 placed the baked product in front of the three judges.

I saw the woman in the baseball cap standing confidently in front of the long table with her hands behind her back, watching the three judges eat it bite by bite.

She was especially concerned about Zhong Chenglin's feelings.

I felt particularly happy when I saw the old man nodding slightly and looking at me one more time after eating.

This wins!

She pressed the brim of her hat, straightened her neck, like a proud swan, passed the two contestants in front, and sat next to her introducer, with a smile on her lips.

Her introducer, also a young woman, nodded her approval now.

But the bubble tone man and the auto mechanic brother were black-faced.

It's numb.

This time it went wrong.

The auto mechanic sat curled up on the chair, touched his chin with one hand, and was replaying the game in his heart. At the same time, he sneered again and again, while looking at the pale man who kept shaking his legs. The woman in the baseball cap pretended to look in the direction of the kitchen again.

Li Changqing and Chu Hao stood back to back, focusing on each other on their grills.

But the operations of the two are quite different.

Li Changqing was grilling meat normally, with a particularly focused expression. It looked like it might be ready soon.

Chu Hao, on the other hand, was very patient, constantly flipping the skewers of beef tenderloin in his hands, the frequency was very fast, and he flipped it several times every one or two breaths, and this movement has been continued by him from the beginning until now.

"This is a dark horse..."

The introducer of the auto mechanic brother is also a hunk, taller, but he is a bit fat, and he wears the largest size of shoes on the soles of his feet. He is maintaining the same posture as himself, staring at the movement in the kitchen.

"Boss, do you also think he can win?"

"Huh? Who are you talking about?" The fat boss asked.

The auto mechanic brother pointed to Chu Hao in the kitchen, "That new one."

The fat boss smiled, "You five, he chose the dry roasting technique, do you know the difference?"

The auto mechanic brother thought for a while, "We are good at cutting materials, but he is good at heating?"

The fat boss nodded slowly, "Barbecue, the most important thing is the chef's preparation and the control of the heat. The small ingredients have their own advantages, but the heat is not something that ordinary people can practice. It doesn't take more than ten years of experience. If you practice with your own hands, you won’t be able to get in, and that young man, judging from his skills, I’m afraid he’s already a little accomplished.”

The auto mechanic brother smiled, "A little success can't impress those three teachers."

The fat boss shook his head, "Let's take a look."

……

On the other side, Lu Chenyu was pulled by Qin Jiangyi to sit down, and also saw Chu Hao who was focusing on the barbecue in the kitchen, his eyes were shining, and he was very excited.

Qin Jiangyi suppressed her smile, and took a sneak peek at her. She had invited Lu Chenyu to such small gatherings in the usual circles, but she was never very interested.

What happened this time?
Because Chu Hao is also here, so you are interested?
Just as I was thinking about this, someone came out of the kitchen.

Li Changqing!
He held the steaming hot finished product and placed it in front of the three judges.

The three looked up at him.

The middle-aged beautiful woman and the other old man are actually acquaintances. Except for Chu Hao, the five contestants on the scene know each other, so even if they perform abnormally, they will not say it outright.

But Zhong Chenglin is different.

This boss came in by jumping in. At first, he only said that he was trying to make up the number, but when facing the five players and the introducers behind them, he would not show mercy, and he would say whatever he wanted.

You know, Zhong Chenglin is very old, and even the masters of the five restaurant owners present would call him senior or teacher when they saw him.

Leaving aside other titles, Mr. Zhong participated in the publication of a collection of national dishes and state banquets in the 80s. At the same time, he also personally collected recipes for many local dishes across the country and improved countless dishes. This reputation has established His position in the chef world.

In those days, those top two and top chefs had to call Zhong Chenglin "teacher" when they saw him.

It's just a pity that Zhong Chenglin was almost judged as a skill inheritor. Although he is a high-tech certificate in name, he is still a special chef in the past in terms of qualifications. Just a small half of his disciples and grandchildren are currently working in the kitchen. Shangjing cooks diner dishes and Taiwanese dishes for people.

Therefore, if a big shot like Zhong Chenglin comes here every day to eat and drink, people in the circle will happily support him, because he is from a mountain city, not to mention being able to teach one or two moves. Even if he is just happy and shows off his skills in a restaurant, he can make a lot of money and accumulate a lot of solid reputation.

According to the old man, after retiring, he should focus on the younger generations. The future of the chef industry depends on these young people.

At this moment, a plate of delicious grilled beef tenderloin was placed in front of Zhong Chenglin.

He took a sip of water, picked it up and took a bite.

The other two judges also tasted it one after another.

For a moment, the three of them were startled by Li Changqing's cutting.

"So solid material, this one is perfect."

"Ah... reminds me of the Zhibian BBQ in Shancheng in the 90s. Did you make this?"

The old man next to Zhong Chenglin and the beautiful middle-aged woman all looked at Li Changqing with bright eyes.
