I am Qinxing No.1

Chapter 199 The Giants Are Arriving ([-] in [-])

Zhu Yanping is confident that he is not a person who likes to drink, but when he walked to the gate of Li's courtyard, he couldn't help being a little drunk, gently opened the courtyard door, and interjected with a smile: "It's really fragrant, it seems that little brother, this Huaxia wine The name of God is also well-deserved, but it makes me look forward to it."

Today is the day to wish grandpa a full head. Zhou Dong went to worship in the morning. Zhu Yanping also knew that he came to Fengqi Mountain to play with wine, and he was very curious, so he rushed to Li's house after paying homage to the old man.

"what?"

Zhu Yanping took a few deep breaths of the aroma of the wine as if greedy, and felt relieved, wishing that Zhou Dong would brew this wine right now, so that he could get drunk and rest.

Unexpectedly, the strange smell of wine lingered in the yard for a week, and then gradually faded away, as if retreating back to the east room, and suddenly wondered: "Little brother, the wine you made is very dishonest, why did you put the smell of wine on the ground again?" Take it back?"

Li Xiuchen pulled a stool over with a smile, asked Zhu Yanping to sit down, poured wine and set out dishes for him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu has never brewed wine, so naturally he doesn't understand.

In fact, after the koji embryos are put into the koji nest, they will start to ferment.In the early stage of fermentation, it is theoretically possible to produce a very faint wine aroma, but this is only a theory, and no one has ever smelled it.

I don’t know who’s the secret of Brother Zhou’s hand-made koji. Anyway, I have never seen it. This caused the koji to release a strong aroma of wine in the early stage of fermentation, which actually penetrated the quilt and rushed out of the room.

However, after the initial stage of fermentation, that is, after two hours, the koji embryos will gradually 'mature', and the aroma of the wine will disappear. That's why you, Mr. Zhu, have the illusion that the aroma of the wine has been taken back. "

"So that's how it is. In this way, the little brother's wine music is amazing!"

Zhu Yanping said with some regret: "It's a pity that I came late, and the smell of this wine is too good. Little brother, I wish you a good life, but I am a little anxious to drink your fine wine. I don't know how long I have to wait." ?”

Li Xiuchen said with a smile: "Hehe, Mr. Zhu may have to wait for a while
There is a saying that "Futian's Jiuqu is the wine of the twelfth lunar month". What Brother Zhou wants to brew is yellow rice wine. It has always been brewed in the twelfth lunar month, and it will take another 3 to 6 months to become wine. Based on this calculation, I am afraid that it will have to wait until next year. Summer is gone."

Zhu Yanping was a little disappointed when he heard the words: "It took so long?"

"Of course not."

Zhou Dong laughed and said, "I'm going to use these wines in the 'private room' and 'big wine tank', how can I wait until next year?

The brewing of rice wine in the south has to wait until the twelfth lunar month, because the climate in the south is humid, which is not good for wine making, but there is no such problem in Chudu.

The weather in Chudu is always dry, and there is no continuous rainy day this year, so we should be able to start brewing wine as soon as the dog days are over.

Brother Li, you strictly follow the southern craftsmanship, but you forgot that everything should be tailored to local conditions, and there is no need to copy the southern winemaking procedures.

My wine-making process is also different from ordinary rice wine. I plan to start brewing when I return from Xiangjiang. The wine can be out of the cellar in a month and a half at most. At that time, I welcome you two to taste my new wine. "

"Hearing what the little brother said, I regret letting you participate in the Xiangjiang International Food Competition. I wish that the sooner your wine is brewed, the better."

Zhu Yanping smiled and said, "But I heard that the longer the rice wine is, the better it is. You've been making wine in a month and a half, so don't waste such a good wine song?"

Zhou Dong smiled: "The saying that the quality of old wine is the highest is right or wrong, it can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences, if Mr. Zhu is interested, let's talk again when we have a chance.

It's getting late, and I have to go back to Chudu to pack some clothes. "

Originally, he was planning to fly to Xiangjiang with Lu Luxin on his own, but it happened that Zhu Yanping returned to Fengqi Mountain to pay respects to Grandpa Zhu on the first seven days, and he must let the two of them go by his own private plane, so Zhou Dong didn't refuse any more.

After making an appointment with Zhu Yanping on the time and place of departure tomorrow, Zhu Yanping asked the driver to send Zhou Dong back to Chudu City.

Looking at the back of the young man leaving, Zhu Yanping smiled, not knowing what he was thinking.

Taking a private jet gives you more freedom in terms of time. Zhou Dong and Zhu Yanping made an appointment to wait for the car to pick you up at the Kyushu Dingshi breakfast department gate at [-]:[-] a.m., and then fly directly to Xiangjiang from Chudu Airport. This is much more comfortable than taking a civil aviation , don't worry about being late or anything.

Zhou's mother was very nervous about going to participate in the international competition. She specially prepared a brand-name suit for her son, and the leather shoes were all polished brightly. Zhou Dong had to dress up everything.

No, in order to make his mother happy, Zhou Dong could only put this outfit on Kyushu Dingshi, and then went to the mall to quietly buy sportswear and sneakers.It's been a long time since the taste skill was activated, but he was planning to go to Xiangjiang to sweep the streets and taste delicious food. Of course, he wore whatever was comfortable.

Standing in front of the breakfast department, he bid farewell to the regular customers who had already received the news, and he also brought everyone's blessings; Zhou Dong got the most authentic information from those smiling faces, just like what Long Dashen said , The whole thing is false, just bring back the gold medal!He also got a red sachet and stuffed it into his arms, insisting that it was obtained from Xinghua Temple in Yunlong Mountain.

"Old Zhou, I didn't expect to accidentally bear the expectations of the folks. Isn't it a lot of pressure?"

Lu Luxin suddenly appeared in front of him, which startled Zhou Dong. No matter how hard he tried to think about it, he couldn't imagine that this strong kitchen lady would be dressed like this.

She is dressed in a crisp white sportswear, wearing small white shoes, showing off her youthful look without makeup, and has a mischievous ponytail on the back of her head. She flicks it around when she speaks, like a female student in the third year of high school.

Zhou Dong looked at her straight, feeling unexplainably awkward, why did Boss Hua choose the same sportswear of the same brand as himself, such a coincidence?

Lu Luxin looked at him, nodded and said, "The taste is good, it's almost catching up with me."

"If I had known this, I would not have bought this brand."

"What do you mean? Hey, you made it clear to me!"

Lu Luxin was furious, she threw off the backpack and threw it directly into his hands: "You carry it!"

"What is so heavy?"

Taking the oversized backpack, Zhou Dong frowned again and again. What kind of things are in it?

"Since it's Mr. Zhu's private jet, of course you have to bring your own knives.

Although the knives provided by the organizing committee are good, how can they compare to my black iron knife? You still haven’t forgotten Inuyang Jiro’s Blue Moon, right? "

Lu Luxin glared at him angrily: "It's easy for you to carry a plastic bag when you go out? Are you men like this, you all look like adults at home, but you become mothers who don't understand anything when you go out? "

"The car is coming!"

I really didn't realize that this 'Hua Boss' is quite careful, even brought a black iron knife, why didn't I think of it?
Zhou Dong was ashamed secretly, but fortunately the car sent by Zhu Yanping had arrived, which relieved him a bit of embarrassment.

Zhu Yanping's private jet is the famous Gulfstream 550, and Zhou Dong doesn't know much about planes. He only feels that the interior of this plane is spacious and luxuriously decorated, which is more comfortable than sitting in the legendary first-class cabin.

Because it was the first time in my life to fly on a plane, I was inevitably a little curious. I touched and asked, which made Mr. Zhu's private stewardess fly wildly, and the flowers trembled dozens of times in a short period of time.

He didn't feel anything, but Lu Luxin blushed in embarrassment. After greeting Zhu Yanping, she simply took a cat in the corner and said that I didn't know this old hat; Zhu Yanping laughed, and fell in love with Zhou Dong even more. This simple and innocent, pure heart.

I don’t know where to go to get excited last night. Not long after the plane took off, someone from Lu who put the seat down on the bed made a slight snore. , little brother, you have chosen a good assistant."

"I had no choice but to agree to her. Anyway, it's the same for anyone as an assistant."

"Hehe, well said!"

The private stewardess brought tea and snacks, Zhu Yanping asked Zhou Dong to eat and drink, while he held the tea and drank slowly: "It's good to have confidence, but little brother, you still shouldn't take it lightly.

This food competition is not easy. Currently, the top chefs who are known publicly include Huai Liangren, the winner of the French Le Cordon Bleu Medal, Cha Zaixi, the "King of Kimchi" from Smecta, and Ham, the "King of Pigs" from Germany. And Inuyang Jingsai, the master swordsman of the island country who is said to have walked out of the flower field.
You are no stranger to Huai Liangren, speaking of him, he is considered half of us Chinese, even if he wins the Supreme Gold Award, it is not a big deal.

Germany's "Pig King" Ham used to be the chef of the 03 gold medal team. He has not participated in the competition for many years. Now even I can't find any relevant information about him.

There is also Cha Jae-hee, the "Kimchi King" of Smecta, who is also a master of swordsmanship. It is said that he once went to the island country to challenge and went unbeaten for 33 consecutive games. Footsteps, that battle was chanted by the islanders as "the battle of Tianwangshan in the kitchen world".

Needless to say, Inuyang Jingsai is known as the 'man closest to God' in the kitchen world of the island country; he has not participated in this kind of competition for many years, but this time he is willing to walk out of the flower field, I am afraid."

Before the words finished, Lu Luxin, who had fallen into a drowsy sleep, suddenly answered, "I'm afraid he made a mistake in the flower field."

Turned over and went back to sleep, but Zhu Yanping, who is always well-mannered, almost spit out the tea he just drank, and shook his head and smiled after a while, "This flower boss likes to joke, anyway, little brother, you have to be aware of it." , must not be taken lightly.

The competition is held in Xiangjiang, China. If the Supreme Gold Award is won by the islanders Smecta or the Germans, then we will lose face.

So this time when the organizing committee selected the Huaxia roster, it can be said to be extremely strict. Sixteen chefs were listed in the entire Suzhou newspaper, and the ones who are finally qualified to participate in the preliminary competition in Xiangjiang are you and Hangcheng'Sujin Palace' master Yan Yi.

Although Master Yan is good at cooking, he prefers vegetarian dishes. He is a lay disciple of the abbot of 'Lingyin Temple'.

Therefore, the banner of Qinxing in Suzhou may have to be carried by you, little brother. "

Zhou Dongxin said that they are all big bosses, even lay disciples have come out?This system task seems to be quite difficult.

"Mr. Zhu"

"Wait, I have a little brother, but you belong to Mr. Mr., are you too born? Or is it that the little brother thinks I'm a businessman full of money and doesn't want to make friends with me?"

Zhu Yanping pretended to be angry and said: "You called Village Chief Li Old Brother, and you will also call me Old Brother in the future."

"That's all right, big brother"

Zhou Dong is also helpless. The group of old men he has recognized recently is older than the other. I guess he has a predestined relationship with these old men?
Forget it, people have to accept their fate to live.

"Brother Zhu, I have listened to what you have said about so many outstanding chefs in the world.

But how do so many chefs from all over the world compete?
I was just wondering, the dishes learned by Eastern and Western chefs are completely different, and this is both the preliminaries and the finals, how to compare them? "

Zhou Dong's question is actually a question of many laymen. How should a French chef compare to a Chinese chef?Do they each do their own thing or do they cook the same dish?

There is a lack of criteria for judging each one. Is it appropriate to put French snails and sea cucumbers with scallions in a competition; it is even more ridiculous to cook the same dish. It is probably not a big problem for Huaxia chefs to make foie gras. You can ask French chefs to serve Try stinky tofu, guaranteed to be confused.

Zhu Yanping was taken aback for a moment: "You don't know the competition rules?
After you are confirmed as qualified for the qualifiers, the organizing committee should send a description of the competition system to your mailbox. Didn't you read it? "

"Well, I may have forgotten."

"Okay, let me explain it to you."

Zhu Yanping said helplessly: "The competition is divided into preliminaries and finals.

Except for the seed players, they all start from the qualifiers.

Earlier it was stipulated that the players who won the gold and silver awards could become seed players and directly enter the finals.

This year, because the contestants have been changed to individuals, the regulations have become more stringent. Only Huai Liangren, the winner of the Supreme Gold Award last year, can directly enter the finals.

However, if it is a chef with a very high reputation in a certain country and region, the organizing committee will also consider adding him to the list of seed players after being recommended by industry authorities in the region.

For example, Huai Liangren once recommended you, but because you were too young and hadn't shown enough strength, you were rejected by the organizing committee in the end. "

Zhou Dong nodded: "The few people you mentioned just now, except Huailiang, have any of them passed the evaluation of seed players, such as that Quanyang Jingzhai?"

"Inuyang Jingzhai and Cha Jae-hee are the same, although they are outstanding in certain aspects, they are still judged by the organizing committee as uneven, so they are not seeded players.

Although the German 'Pig King' has won the team gold medal in history, it was already more than ten years ago, so this time he also has to start from the qualifiers. "

Zhu Yanping smiled and said: "Your worries will not arise, because the so-called qualifiers are the regional finals!

In order to eliminate regional differences, in the qualifying stage, food 'powerhouses' such as China, Island Country, and Smecta Country formed their own region.

Europe counts as one large region, America, Africa and Australia count as one large region, and other small countries and regions with insignificant food culture are divided into several "additional regions" according to their continents.
These large regions have to decide gold, silver and bronze awards. For example, if you win a gold award in Huaxia District, this is only a regional gold award.

Only when the gold and silver award winners from each region enter the finals together can the 'Supreme Gold Award' be determined!

There are also some rules of the game.Just like the World Cup, China, which is as strong as China, can exclusively enjoy two places to enter the finals. Although the island country and the Smecta country are their own regions, their gold and silver medal winners still have to compete with the top three in the European region. Three chefs are determined to be eligible for the final round.

As for the gourmet underdogs like Aomeifei, their gold, silver and bronze medal winners will compete with the top three in the additional area. After deciding No. 1, they will also compete with the island country, Smecta country and the European division. The winner of the No.4 competition can qualify for the final.

There is also the method of judging the competition, which is also very cumbersome.”

As the number one sponsor of this Xiangjiang Food Competition, Zhu Yanping knows the rules of the competition very well, but Zhou Dong felt his brain hurt when he heard it, and waved his hands again and again: "Forget it, brother Zhu, I just want to win every game." Alright, as for the competition system, let the experts study it.”

Zhu Yanping laughed loudly: "Well said!"
