Dare to cook

Chapter 206 Hua Restaurant Planner (2 in 1)

In the live broadcast room, countless water friends saw the scene of the big cameraman eating a lion's head in front of the camera, and instantly expressed that he couldn't bear it:

"Hey, dog thief, put down the lion's head and let me come!"

"Yao Manzi went too far. He actually ate food during the competition and even lured the cameraman to fall with him! It's an unforgivable crime!"

"No, no, what's even more exaggerated is the broadcast director, he even made a close-up of Yao Manzi's eating and broadcasting!"

"Isn't it the lion's head with crab powder? It seems like no one has eaten it. Tomorrow, I'll go to Yangzhou Yechunlou to eat enough."

"I'm so hungry, I can't take it anymore, why can't I order lion heads {tearful eyes} for takeaway."

"Is there any brother in Qindao, Xia Wangbuer, who plans to do a big thing, kidnap Yao Manzi after the game tomorrow, and then..."

"Haha, you can have this! Whoever wants to kidnap Yao Manzi, count me in!"

When the sand sculptors in the live broadcast room fired barrages, Tan Yuanwu, Qin Wumi and other judges had already tasted all the dishes in the main venue.

Among the four contestants, Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu were naturally the ones who did the best in crab powder and lion head.

On this dish, the two easily got another super-order score.

Then, after careful evaluation by Tan Yuanwu and others.

In the end, Yao Yu defeated Wu Zhongliu, who scored 49.87 points, with a score of 49.01 points.

Lu Chenyu also defeated Ling Zhaochi with a score of 49.83 points.

With this, tomorrow's finals match list will be out.

From [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] tomorrow morning, Wu Zhongliu VS Ling Zhaochi, the two will compete for the third place.

From [-] to [-] p.m., Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu will kick off the final championship battle.

When the final list came out, the eliminated contestants in the auditorium, especially the famous chefs on the Jade Food List, had complicated emotions.

The grand scale and far-reaching influence of this year's celebrity chef selection competition can be called the largest ever.

There are as many as 1238 well-known chefs from overseas.

All the five hundred masters on the Jade Food List also participated in the battle.

In addition, many outstanding chefs like Mu Shaoran, Yang Rui, and Li Boju have emerged in various competition areas who are capable of competing on the Jade Food List.

however!
However, none of these people could defeat Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu.

For them, winning the championship is like getting something out of their pockets in such a big tournament.

"Since Sheng Yu, He Shengliang..."

"Now I suddenly understand that there are two types of chefs who can participate in the famous competition, one is called Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu, and the other is called other contestants."

"I won't watch the finals tomorrow. I'll pack my things and go back to my hometown. Tsk, it's so boring!"

In the auditorium, some chef contestants had already got up and left.

Zhu Xingchen, Shen Qiuming and others also heard the discussions and were speechless.

Comparing one's heart to another's heart, in the youngest, vigorous and competitive age group, it is quite shocking to encounter two almost invincible opponents.

But Zhu Xingchen and the others don't think so.

Because they are friends of Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu.

They understand them.

Knowing that Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu's current culinary skills are honed through years of hard work.

Sometimes talent does matter.

But what can be achieved with talent and no hard work?

When Yao Yu was ten years old, he began to use sandbags on his arms to practice the pot-turning hands.

At that time, most of my peers were still eating spicy noodles at the school gate, right?
The same is true for Lu Chenyu, who went to Europe at the age of 15 and studied in various culinary halls in France. After returning to China, he never slacked off studying Chinese high-end cuisine.

What are those girls in their teens and twenties doing?

Are you surfing the Internet, watching dramas, and posting selfies, just for the traffic of idols?

"Oh, tomorrow we can finally see Manzi versus Lu Chenyu. Do you think, if Yao Yu wins tomorrow, will he be punished by kneeling on the washboard?" Zhu Xingchen made a joke when he saw the referee announcing the end of the game. .

"Not necessarily, he might be fined to kneel down to the computer's motherboard." Shen Qiuming answered ruthlessly.

Yang Rui looked at the time on his watch and said:
"No matter who wins in the end, I think it is necessary to kill them all. Let's have dinner together tonight and let Yao Yu pay for it!"

"This proposal is sound, I think it will work!" Chu Huangyou agreed.

While a group of people were talking, they also left with the audience.

I plan to meet up with Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu later and have a big meal at a high-end restaurant.

When the game ended, it was almost 06:30 in the evening.

Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu packed their things, gathered with a group of relatives and friends, and were about to leave.

At this time, Gu Qingzhou suddenly called Yao Yu.

Yao Yu answered the phone, listened to what Gu Qingzhou said on the other end, and then froze.

He looked slightly strange and said to Lu Chenyu who was beside him: "Senior Gu comes to see us for something. It seems that he wants to introduce us to a big shot in the entertainment industry."

Lu Chenyu was also stunned and asked, "Should I go too?"

"Probably...Senior Porridge King opened his mouth. How dare you refuse?" Yao Yu said hesitantly.

Because of Gu Qingzhou's temporary arrangement, Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu were called away.The "killing plan" of Zhu Xingchen and others had to be shelved for the time being.

Yao Yu handed the kitchen utensils bag to Chen Li to take back, then he and Lu Chenyu came to another exit of the main venue and met Gu Qingzhou.

At this time, Gu Qingzhou was standing under a clump of red maple trees.

Seeing Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu approaching, he waved to them, signaling them to follow him into the car.

On the side, there was already an extended version of the luxury business car waiting.

Gu Qingzhou took the two of them into the car and said with a smile: "I've been playing games all day, so I'm tired."

Yao Yu smiled and said, "I'm fine. I just don't know why Mr. Zou Yu suddenly wants to see us?"

Gu Qingzhou said:

"It's not because of his variety show."

"A few days ago, you launched a serial duel challenge, and the planners of Zou Yu and Hua Restaurant also came to watch. They agreed that you are very suitable to join their variety show."

"Originally, Hua Restaurant planned to add two professional chefs next season."

"One of them likes you very much, and for the other, they hope that Lu Chenyu can accept the invitation."

Gu Qingzhou said with a smile to Lu Chenyu who was a little surprised:

"Your father also knows about this matter. He said he would not interfere."

"Today, I was entrusted by someone to be an intermediary. Whether you would like to join the Hua Restaurant, you just have to think about it yourself, and don't worry about me."

Hearing this, Lu Chenyu nodded.

In fact, she also appeared on a small variety show produced by the Kitchen Association before.

For this kind of invitation to participate in the reality show, I don't resist it.

As for whether to join the recording of Chinese Restaurant, we still have to discuss it in detail.

The place Zou Yu chose to eat was not far from Tangdao Bay, and it was a very distinctive local seafood restaurant.

The restaurant only takes reservations, so it doesn't look too busy.

After Yao Yu and the others arrived at the restaurant, a waiter led them to the box on the third floor.

The third floor of the seafood restaurant is decorated in a Japanese style, and it looks quite private.

Yao Yu and Gu Qingzhou, led by the waiter, soon came to the door of a box.

Pushing open the door, Yao Yu saw a man and a woman sitting inside.

Among them, the male is elegant and easy-going, well-dressed, with a stable aura, and has the demeanor of a business elite.

Needless to say, this person is the initiator of today's dinner, the behind-the-scenes boss of China's entertainment industry - Zou Yu.

Sitting next to Zou Yu was a woman with a very elegant temperament and beautiful appearance.

The woman is wearing very casual and forest-style clothing. At first glance, she looks about forty, but at second glance she looks like she is in her early thirties.

If it weren't for the faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes that betrayed her, I am afraid that even if she claimed that she was only in her 20s, some people would believe her.

Yao Yu didn't know this woman, but he knew with his knees that the relationship between this woman and Mr. Zou was definitely not simple.

When Zou Yu saw Gu Qingzhou and Yao Yu coming in, he stood up and said with a smile, "Yao Yu, we meet again."

With Zou Yu's current status, there is no need for him to stand up and be so polite to Yao Yu.

However, Zou Yu did just that.

Even if he holds hundreds of millions of assets, stomping his feet can make half of the entertainment industry tremble.

But Zou Yu usually treated people, but he never showed any air of arrogance and domineering.

Perhaps this is also the reason.

Only Zou Yu can have a close friend like Gu Qingzhou who has known each other for more than 20 years.

After greeting Yao Yu, Zou Yu smiled at Lu Chenyu again:

"Ms. Lu, hello."

"Hey, it's really true. Only when I saw it up close did I know what it means to be 'a man lives up to his name, a wild goose sinks like a fish'."

Lu Chenyu had naturally heard of Zou Yu's legendary past.

Being able to see Zou Yu here today also made Lu Chenyu feel very novel.

She pursed her lips and smiled and said, "You are so flattering."

Gu Qingzhou looked at Zou Yu with a little disgust and said:
"Okay, put away your rhetoric about coaxing little girls."

"Come on, Yao Yu, let me introduce you."

"This is Zou Yu. You met me last time. There's nothing to say. That's Zheng Hailan, the planner of Chinese Restaurant. She basically has the final say on the variety show at Chinese Restaurant."

"Zou Yu invited you over today, mainly because Hai Lan wanted to chat with you."

"Hello, Ms. Zheng Hailan." Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu smiled and greeted Hailan.

Zheng Hailan was generous, smiling like a spring breeze, and invited everyone to sit down:
"You have just finished the game, and you should need to rest. It is really inappropriate to invite you here at this time."

"Sit down, everyone, let's chat while eating. Yao Yu, Lu Chenyu, order whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Hailan glanced at the waiter in the restaurant.

Afterwards, the waiter who led Yao Yu and the others in brought Yao Yu and the others three menus very jokingly.

Yao Yu didn't go to pick up the menu, but just smiled and said, "We haven't been to this restaurant before, so you two can make the decision."

After hearing this, Zou Yu didn't refuse, and soon asked the waiter to recommend a table of signature dishes.

This restaurant serves food very quickly.

Within 5 minutes of Zou Yu's order, a waiter brought over the appetizers and desserts.

Zou Yu brought two bottles of good wine with him and asked the waiter to fill them up for everyone.

At first, the few people just exchanged pleasantries and talked about these endless gossips.

After the main course was served, the waiter withdrew, and Zou Yu got to the point: "I invite the two of you to come over today. I actually have two things I want to talk to you about."

"The first thing is about the recording of Chinese Restaurant."

"Heilan and I both think that the two of you are very suitable to be the resident guests of Jihua Restaurant in the next season."

"I wonder if you two are willing?"

It stands to reason that there is no need for a high-level figure like Zou Yu to intervene in matters such as discussing cooperation with guests.

Zou Yu will meet Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu here today.

Part of this is because Zheng Hailan is very concerned about the subsequent ratings of the Chinese restaurant.

On the one hand, I think it would be interesting to have more contact with outstanding young people like Yao Yu.

If it was any other famous chef, facing Zou Yu's personal invitation at this time, he would have been too happy to find Bei.

But Yao Yu did not get carried away.

In fact, Yao Yu had already thought of his words on the way here.

He pondered for two seconds, then said with a smile:
"You may not know that I am your fan, well, I should be considered a very die-hard fan."

"On the way here, I even thought that no matter what today, I have to shamelessly take a few photos with you."

"You personally invited me to join Hua Restaurant, of course I am willing, and there is no reason to refuse."

"It's just that after this famous competition is over, I may be selected into the national team and then prepare for the World Young Chef Competition."

"So in September or October, I will probably have to return to the team for training. And you mentioned before that the recording time for the next season of Chinese Restaurant will be September this year."

"If I'm selected into the national team, I'm afraid I won't have time to go to Hua Restaurant."

Lu Chenyu knew the news a few days ago that Yao Yu might join the national team with her, and was not surprised when he heard these words.

She also smiled and said:

"My situation is similar to that of Yao Yu. If the recording time of Hua Restaurant conflicts with the training and game time of the national team, then I can only regret to reject the invitation of the two."

After Zheng Hailan heard this, instead of being unhappy, his eyes lit up.

When Zou Yu heard this, he was surprised and smiled.

They already knew that Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu had both reached the finals.

In other words, the championship and runner-up of this competition are already in the hands of Yao and Yu.

Being able to invite the winner of the famous competition to join the Chinese restaurant is a sure-profit deal for them.

And if on this basis, Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu have another identity as a national chef team, it will definitely bring greater ratings boost to Chinese Restaurant, right?

Or even think a little bolder.

The World Youth Championship will be held in March next year, and the next season of Hua Restaurant will be broadcast in July and August next year.

If Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu get a good ranking in the World Youth Championship next year, won't Hua Restaurant create more topics next season?

For those who do entertainment shows.

With the topic, there will be heat, and with heat, traffic can be gathered.And with traffic, you can definitely make money!
As a veteran variety show planner, Zheng Hailan naturally understands the key points.

So, she couldn't help but get a little excited and said:

"This is not a problem! If you are willing to join the Chinese restaurant, we can advance the shooting time to June or July!"
