Chapter 656 Banquet
At night in New York, around 40:[-] p.m.

Li An followed Han Jijiang, the representative of the food group, and took the elevator to the hall of the foodie summit before the global food competition.

At this moment, when Li An and the others came to the banquet hall, some people had already arrived.When he came to the banquet hall, Li An looked around and thought that the organizer of this global gourmet competition is really big. The entire banquet hall is more than 300 square meters, and it is luxurious, magnificent, and full of delicious food.

Moreover, there are all kinds of lamps and lanterns on the roof beam of the hall, and some oil paintings are hung on the surrounding walls, which has a unique European and American artistic atmosphere.

Since Li An is a newcomer to the banquet, it is his first time to participate in the global food competition, and he does not know much about this banquet.Therefore, he followed Han Jijiang and his party obediently. While listening to Big Brother He Guozhang's introduction to tonight's banquet, he observed the decorations of the banquet and other gourmets from various countries.

Along the way, through Li An's careful observation, Li An discovered that their Chinese team seemed to be very unpopular. Except for a few gourmet representatives from a few countries, there were very few gourmet representatives from other countries. Be willing to greet them or talk to them.

And more gourmets looked at Li An and the others, fearing that they would not be able to avoid it, with a slight hint of contempt and disdain, as if it would be embarrassing to say a word to them, a group of foreign gourmets, and Li An and his team. like.

After Li An's observation, what kind of status the gourmets of Huaguo have in the world, Li An almost has some independent understanding in his heart.

Although Li An felt a little awkward about this, he didn't take it to heart.Because it's useless to say more, the facts speak louder than words. Since he decided to win this global food competition, he will definitely work hard. As for how others think of him now, he doesn't have much emotion.

After all, it is impossible for him to control other people's eyes. Let these foreign gourmets feel good about themselves for a few days first, and they will always be "surprised" later!

And just as Li An was looking at the contemptuous eyes of the gourmets around him, just like looking at clowns, feeling lonely and lonely, Li An and the others heard a voice in front of them, and there were a few contemptuous laughter.

"Isn't this the gourmets of Huaguo? Do you still have the nerve to come to this dinner? If I were you, I would have no face to attend this dinner tonight. You Huaguo people have thick skins! How many years in a row have you ranked at the bottom? Do you still have the face to ostentatiously go around? If it were us people from the Big Island nation, we wouldn’t be able to lose him!”

Three or four yellow-skinned gourmets stopped Han Jijiang and the others from going forward. Judging from the tone of the words, they were obviously gourmets from the island country.

Li An, who was at the back of Han Jijiang's small team, heard the people in front of him talking, and looked up subconsciously, and saw four middle-aged islanders with a bunch of mustaches under their noses, standing in front of Li An and the others. Very arrogant and domineering, look at the imposing manner on that face, it is a little more prosperous than the gourmets from Bangzi Country that Li An and the others met at noon today!
"These four people are gourmets from the island country. Both the island country and the Bangzi country are one of the judging countries for the judging panel of the global food competition. Together with the foodie associations from the United States, France, and Canada, they have formed five global food judging groups. The power in the food competition can be seen." He Guozhang reminded Li Andao from the side.

Regarding the five major judges of the Global Food Competition, Li An also heard He Guozhang and Wang Shiguang talk about it several times.That is to say, the preliminaries, semi-finals, top ten competitions, and finals of the global food competition every year are evaluated and reviewed by the judges of the five major gourmet judging groups to decide whether the culinary skills of each gourmet in the participating countries can pass the level and advance to the following in the game.

The judges of the five judging groups logically said that they could be fair and just in dealing with other teams and would not abuse their personal rights.However, once it is the gourmets of Huaguo's turn to judge, these gourmets from other countries will always make things difficult for them and give bad reviews. The reason for not winning the championship.

These five competition judges from various countries all communicated with each other and worked together to target the gourmets in their Hua country. If they can win the championship of the competition, it will be called a strange thing!
"These islanders are too arrogant!" Li An said, frowning as he looked at the arrogant islanders blocking their way.

"Leave them alone, they have been occupying one of the five places on the food judging panel for a long time because of their own country. Every time there are judges and teachers from their country in a food competition, they dare to be so arrogant. This group of people We can't provoke him for the time being. So, don't be impulsive, let's hide for now!" He Guozhang was afraid that Li An would be young and arrogant, so he quickly warned Li An in his ear.

"Whether our delegation comes to this dinner or not is none of your business, gourmets from the island country, so don't worry about it! Please step aside!" Han Jijiang said neither humble nor overbearing.

In fact, in the face of such powerful island gourmets, Han Jijiang's attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing is already very good!

"Hehe! I'm doing this for your own good. You should be obedient and go back! Don't participate in this global food competition! Anyway, you are at the bottom of the list, and it doesn't make much difference whether you participate or not!" The islander who led the way deliberately loudly He said, looking like he was trying to deliberately let other people at the banquet hear his words.

Sure enough, as soon as the islander who took the lead in blocking Li An and the others said this, many gourmets around him heard this voice. Some put down the food in their hands, and some stopped talking to their friends. They all more or less stopped what they were doing and looked at Li An and the others, with a playful smile in their eyes!

Most of the gourmets present knew that China ranked last in the annual food competition, and some people also knew about the ethnic conflicts between China and the island country.Therefore, they are quite happy to see this kind of contradiction and this kind of farce.

And seeing that most of the eyes at the banquet were on them, Han Jijiang knew that he had no face to confront the islanders.Islanders are dogs, so they can be shameless, but they still have face.Therefore, Han Jijiang ignored Tian Yilang and walked straight past the table next to them!
The other gourmets behind Han Jijiang also knew that if things got bigger and bigger, it would only be more detrimental to them.Therefore, the people behind Han Jijiang also followed behind Han Jijiang, bypassing the malicious obstruction of these deceptive island gourmets.

Li An followed Han Jijiang at the end, with He Guozhang. He Guozhang was walking in front of Li An. Li An looked at the islanders in front of him who blocked his way. He touched his nose, followed behind He Guozhang, and made a detour. up.

Because, even Li An knew that it was not a wise decision to get into trouble with this group of island gourmets who were deliberately looking for trouble.Moreover, looking at the gourmets of these island countries, they definitely want to provoke their anger on purpose and make them look ugly, so they can't let these island people get what they want.

Seeing that Li An and the others were not fooled, Ichiro Tono, the gourmet from the island country who took the lead in causing trouble for Li An and the others, first frowned, and then stood there and mocked:

"You Chinese people are a bunch of cowards! You cowards don't dare to walk in front of us! Haha!"

However, although the islanders were arrogant, Han Jijiang was also an old man. He was not angry at all and did not pay attention to these troublesome islanders. They turned their backs to the islanders and walked forward, looking for a place and an empty table. Settlement.

Behind Han Jijiang, Tano Ichiro was like a fool, "hahaha" laughed at Han Jijiang several times, but it turned out that the other party didn't care at all, and instead he stood there giggling, being watched by so many people, his face was a little embarrassed.

Ignoring the group of islanders who wanted to make trouble, Han Jijiang led Li An and his party to a large vacant round table, on which were placed various kinds of wine, food, melon and fruit snacks for people to taste.

After a group of people stood here, Han Jijiang looked at the group of people, picked up a banana, and said while eating: "Let's do activities around this table. You can eat whatever you like, Lao He." , don’t you like to drink wine? There is wine here, let’s pour some wine?”

Then, Han Jijiang poured a glass of wine for He Guozhang, the oldest among the group. The others all held a goblet, filled it themselves, and drank together.

After drinking a glass of wine, Han Jijiang started talking again, and this time the words were mainly for Li An to hear.

"Our country's prestige at such gatherings is not very high, so we don't have to go too far. We can just hang out nearby and serve as a free buffet. I believe gourmets from other countries won't like to join us. We are chatting. Come on, Xiao Li, try this dessert. This is a special dessert for the Global Food Competition, and you can’t eat it outside."

Han Jijiang picked up a dessert shaped like a mooncake and handed it to Li An, gesturing for Li An to try it.

Li An took it, tasted it, and it tasted really good.However, in Li An's eyes, this dessert is only good. If it is really delicious, it is still too bad.

Because Li An himself has some snacks, breakfasts and the like that he has never promoted, he believes that as long as he brings out the snacks he has, they will definitely be as attractive as the delicacies in his store and very attractive to customers. It even triggered a wave of snack food trends.

Ang Lee still has this confidence.

"How is it? Does the special snack taste good?" Han Jijiang asked Li An with a smile.

Li An nodded, because it was all his own people and he didn't hide it. He said directly and generously: "It's okay, but there are no delicious snacks in Huaguo, and it's better than nothing."

When Li An said this, the people around him thought he was talking big, that's why patriotism is so, and they didn't expose him.As the chefs and famous gourmets of China, how could they not know the snacks of their own country, although the snacks of their own country are also very good.But at most, they are as good as Dim Sum, which is far from as good as Li An said.

Regarding Han Jijiang's disbelief, Li An didn't want to say anything, anyway, let it be, and when they witnessed it with their own eyes, they would naturally believe it.

Li An and his party gathered together, chatting casually as usual, talking about domestic affairs, various cuisines, guessing the winner of this global food competition, etc.While Li An was talking to Han Jijiang and He Guozhang, he was also paying attention to the changes in the surrounding banquet hall.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and more and more people came to the banquet hall. There were black people, white people, and Asians. They looked exactly like what Wang Guangguang said before he came. As expected, there are many participating countries in the Global Food Competition. It seems that teams from more than 20 countries are participating.

As the time approached eight o'clock, on the podium directly in front of the banquet, the person in charge of the banquet organizer also had a relevant conversation. They were nothing more than those who welcomed everyone to come to participate in the Global Food Competition. It was a pleasure to meet you, and We will see the delicious food and cooking skills brought by everyone in the following competitions.

This kind of speech was a bit boring, but fortunately, the foreigner's humor in this speech was pretty good. He made two jokes from time to time, and the representatives from various countries at the banquet listened to this speech quite happily.

After the speech, there was free time for the whole audience. The gourmets from all over the world could walk around and chat as they pleased just like before the banquet started.

After the speech, Han Jijiang also introduced Ang Lee to know gourmets from several countries who get along well with Chinese gourmets. This group of people are all elites in the gourmet circles of various countries and they had a great time chatting.

Li An also got to know some foreign chefs. Like China, gourmets in these countries are also ranked relatively low. They are often ridiculed by islanders and stick people. Those people don't seem to ridicule other people. Even if the value of their existence cannot be reflected, during the conversation, it can be found that the chefs from these countries also dislike or even hate the gourmets from island countries and stick countries.

However, during the conversation, Li An discovered that although these people did not like sticks and islanders, these gourmets were still a little afraid of their cooking skills.

Seeing this, Li An still paid a little attention to the delicacies of the island country and the Bangzi country in his heart, and decided to export some relevant information about the delicacies of the island countries and the Bangzi country before the game.
