Dare to cook

Chapter 219
It was sunny on March 5.

The sun is rising, the sea is shining with sparkling light, and the breeze is refreshing.

The cruise ship departing from Starlight Island and sailing to Tangdao Bay was filled with chefs from all over the country who are rarely seen in ordinary times.

Most of these chefs are contestants in this competition.

The remaining half are basically veteran chefs who have served as judges in celebrity competitions.

At this moment, many people's eyes were focused on Yao Yu standing upright on the bow.

Whether it was the people who admired Yao Yu in the past or those who hated him, they looked at Yao Yu with complicated eyes at this time.

Just after winning the championship, he will face the veteran chef on the Kirin list.

This courage and calm demeanor are incomparable to many people.

"You are really young and promising. You can look forward to it at this young age." On the top deck of the cruise ship, Qilin leader Fan Jingwen looked at Yao Yu and said with emotion:
"Even if Yao Yu loses in the finals today, no one among his peers can suppress him."

"If my incompetent disciple can have half of Yao Yu's ability, I won't have to worry about it in the future."

Beside Fan Jingwen, those who stood were almost all the top ten unicorns.

Among them, except for No.7 Lu Tao on the Unicorn List (originally No. [-], but after Yao Yunjian passed away, he automatically rose to No. [-]), everyone else is nearly [-] years old.

After hearing this, Shu Wangjing said:
"It's not difficult for you to accept that close disciple who has good understanding. He is still young. If you study with him for two more years, it will not be difficult to inherit the mantle in the future."

At this time, Li Zhongxuan, the fifth in the Kirin list, blinked his mung bean eyes, like an old version of Zhang Fei, and said softly:
"No matter how you all are, at least you have successor disciples. Unlike me, the apprentice who has been trained for many years, runs away as soon as he says, and would rather go to an overseas restaurant in the Netherlands to become a door-to-door son-in-law than to be called back."

The others were silent for a while after hearing Li Zhongxuan's words.

Speaking of which, Li Zhongxuan is considered to be the most straightforward among the chefs on the Qilin list, but he is also the most unlucky.

Those who are chefs are always pursuing the advancement of cooking skills when they are young.

When I get old, my biggest wish is to be able to accept one or two heirs with my heart, so that I can pass on the skills I have practiced for half my life.

But Li Zhongxuan's children have no intention of inheriting his career.

More than ten years ago, Li Zhongxuan began to look for his favorite successor.

However, although there are several chefs who formally worship him as their teacher, their qualifications are relatively average.

Later, I finally met a talented young man, but because of inadvertent making friends, he got drunk and ruined his future.

Later, Li Zhongxuan found another proud disciple, who was an older youth who was alone and had no parents.

However, although that man was older and learned cooking late, he was indeed very talented.

He can quickly learn what Li Zhongxuan taught him.

Because of this, Li Zhongxuan did his best to teach and train that person as his successor.

Even Li Zhongxuan has already made up his mind that he is going to inherit about [-]% of the shares of his restaurant.

Unexpectedly, that apprentice later fell in love with an overseas Chinese woman, and then he didn't even want his master, traveled across the ocean, and eagerly ran to the Netherlands to become his son-in-law.

From then on, whenever Li Zhongxuan thought about these things, his mood would wane and he would sigh.

Other chefs on the Qilin list are also relatively clear about Li Zhongxuan's experience.

Upon hearing this, Fan Jingwen said with emotion:

"If you want to talk about successors, it's better to cultivate the successors of Lu Tao and Yao Yunjian."

"Let's not talk about Lu Chenyu and Yao Yu, the success of descendants is better than anything else."

"Xia Shichun, Yao Yunjian's big apprentice, and Mu Shaoran, your closed disciple, Lu Tao, also have first-class aptitude to learn cooking."

When Lu Tao heard this, he smiled and said:
"Fan Laomiu praises him. Chen Yu is pretty good, but Mu Shaoran still needs more polishing."

"Actually..." Lu Tao said and paused again:

"Actually, Brother Li, you don't have to worry about the past. You are still young, and you can work as a chef for another ten years. It's okay to be a successor or disciple, just look for it slowly."

"Also, you can also pick a favorite chef from the current Jade Food List chefs. It's like the old man Liu Zicheng took Bai Yuanchu as his apprentice two years ago."

After hearing this, Li Zhongxuan's dim eyes suddenly lit up.

That's right, many young people on the Jade Food List are self-taught, and their qualifications are definitely not bad.

Moreover, I am the fifth opening in the unicorn list to accept apprentices, am I afraid that no one will come?
Why should he be persistent, insisting on picking an unknown little chef to train him from scratch?

It's just, who is suitable to accept as a disciple...

While pondering, Li Zhongxuan's eyes suddenly turned to Yao Yu, and he couldn't move away for a while: "Do you think Yao Yu is willing to learn Central Plains cuisine from me?"

As soon as these words came out, a group of Qilin Ranking bosses almost jumped out of their way.

Lu Tao couldn't laugh or cry and said:
"If you want Yao Yu to inherit your mantle, that's impossible."

"Let's not talk about you, even any veteran of the Hongmeng List can't do it. The Yao family has been a cook for four generations, and he has his own cuisine to pass on."

"If Yao Yu opens his own restaurant in the future, the main dishes will definitely be Yao's cuisine."

"However, if you want to accept a registered student, just let Yao Yu learn to cook with you, I can help you ask."

In the culinary world, disciples are also divided into ordinary apprentices, named disciples and successors.

Among them, ordinary apprentices cannot learn core secret recipes and tricks.

But as long as you work hard, the master can also teach you enough cooking skills, so that you can at least become the head chef of an ordinary restaurant and hotel no matter where you go.

As for registered disciples, the relationship is much closer.

Not only can I learn some housekeeping skills, but if I want to open a restaurant, my fellow apprentices and master will also be willing to help and support me.

As for successors, they are the ones with the best treatment and the heaviest responsibilities.

Before leaving the teacher, the master will naturally devote himself to cultivating it.

After leaving the teacher, the inheritor of the mantle is obliged to maintain the reputation and image of the teacher's school, and has the responsibility to carry forward the dishes of the teacher's school.

It is precisely for this reason that even though Yao Yu lost his second uncle, he would not take the initiative to learn from other famous chefs.

At most, he would only visit Gu Qingzhou occasionally for advice like that time when he went to Gu Qingzhou.

Starlight Island is not far from Tangdao Bay.

While the chefs on the Qilin List were talking, the cruise ship soon docked.

After docking, the celebrity chefs got off the ship and headed to the main venue of Tangdao Bay.

By 08:30 in the morning, the main venue was full of audience again.

Lu Chenyu, Yang Rui, Zhu Xingchen and others sent Yao Yu to the player entrance.

At this moment, the match was about to start, Lu Chenyu and the others didn't say anything unnecessary, they just smiled and encouraged, telling Yao Yu and Chen Li to keep calm and go into battle lightly.

Yao Yu is naturally as steady as an old dog.

Although Chen Li was a little nervous at first, he calmed down when he saw Yao Yu's composure.

Afterwards, Yao Yu entered the arena together with Chen Li who participated as the sous chef.

At another entrance, Shen Gongpei also changed into a chef uniform and strode in.
