Dare to cook

Chapter 242 Press Conference

04:30 in the afternoon.

Members of the newly formed Green Kitchen First Team and Green Kitchen Second Team all put on the uniforms of the national team and gathered in the hall on the third floor of the Headquarters of the Kitchen Association.

Just like Yao Yu's situation, this year's Green Kitchen Team was officially established today.

Moreover, there are also nine members of the Green Kitchen team.

Under the subdivision, there are seven main starting players and two alternate players.

Su Tongwei, whom Yao Yu only met at noon, also passed the assessment of the Green Kitchen Team [-] and became one of the seven starters.

Yao Yu, the captain and vice-captain of this year's Green Kitchen Team, also happens to know both of them.

"Did you see, the one with the self-written scroll over there is the No. [-] Jade Food List when I debuted - Zhou Jinfu. The one next to him is the No. [-] Jade Food List of that year - Zhang Rucheng."

In the hall, Yao Yu whispered to Lu Chenyu after discovering that Zhou Jinfu and Zhang Rucheng had become the captain and deputy captain of this year's Green Chef Team.

The year Yao Yu debuted, Lu Chenyu had already lived in France for two years.

Lu Chenyu didn't know much about the chefs on the Jade Food List before the "Yu Madman Era", and he didn't go out of his way to find out.

Hearing this, Lu Chenyu smiled and said:

"Zhou Jinfu was at the top of the jade food list six years ago, and you were at the top of the list three years ago. Then, who is better between the two of you?"

Yao Yu smiled and said:

"Zhou Jinfu is very strong. When I debuted, I competed against him three times, winning two and one draw."

"As for Zhang Rucheng, I have never discussed with him."

"When I became the top of the list, he was traveling abroad, and when he returned to China, he was automatically removed from the list because he was [-] years old."

"Then because he was too low-key, I tried to find him twice, but I couldn't find anyone. Then it didn't matter."

After Yao Yu finished speaking, Ji Xun said:

"Zhang Rucheng is usually very low-key. But don't underestimate him. Over the years, there have been seven or eight chefs who have been defeated by him in the Qilin list."

"Although...the chefs on the Kirin List are not ranked as high as Shen Gongpei."

"But it can also be seen from this that Zhang Rucheng will definitely be on the Qilin list in one or two years at most."

"Well, if you can be on the Unicorn list before the age of 40, you will be considered young and promising." Yao Yu heard that, with his hands behind his back, he was old-fashioned.

After hearing this, other members of the Second Green Kitchen Team felt that Yao Yu owed a fight too much.

Obviously Zhang Rucheng is 11 years older than Yao Yu, but Yao Yu dares to comment on him in this tone of pointing out younger generations.

However, what is even more annoying is that they have not yet been able to accuse Yao Yu.

After all, just because Yao Yu has defeated Shen Gongpei, he is qualified to comment on any chef below the Qilin Ranking.

Yao Yu and the others were chatting.

Zhou Jinfu and Zhang Rucheng also saw Yao Yu.

Zhou Jinfu smiled immediately, and took the initiative to walk over with Zhang Rucheng: "Yao Yu, long time no see!"

"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhang, long time no see." Yao Yu also nodded with a smile, glanced at the captain logos on their clothes, and said, "Congratulations, both of you, for becoming the captain of the national kitchen team."

Zhou Jinfu laughed:
"You are not the same. How does it feel to be the captain of the second green kitchen team for the second time?"

"Not bad." Yao Yu stood in the wind, confident, "I just hope that the members of this year's second team will do their best and come back with one or two championship trophies!"

Although Zhou Jinfu once lost to Yao Yu in a duel, it was all old history.

People of his age are younger and more mature than Wu Zhongliu and Ling Zhaochi in terms of experience and mentality.

I have long understood that making connections is far more meaningful than being competitive.

Hearing this, Zhou Jinfu smiled and nodded in approval:

"That's right. It's time to show this kind of confidence. You and Lu Chenyu are both the top players in the jade food list. This year, the second team of Green Kitchen will be able to achieve good results with you teaming up!"

"Brother Zhou is overly praised, so I'll lend you some good words." Yao Yu smiled, talking confidently and calmly to Zhou Jinfu and Zhang Rucheng.

After a few people chatted for a while, Yuan Peng and Qiao Jianyang, the leading assistant of the Qingchu team [-], came over and called the members of the first and second teams to gather and prepare to go to the press conference on the fourth floor to attend the press conference.

According to the usual practice, the Culinary Association will hold a press conference every year when the national team is formed.

There are more than 20 media who came to the press conference today.

Among them, half are representatives sent by major catering magazines.

Among them, Celebrity Chef Magazine, the best-selling magazine, sent four reporters all at once.

Because, after participating in the press conference, Celebrity Chefs will also conduct an in-depth interview with Yao Yu, Lu Chenyu, Zhou Jinfu, and Zhang Rucheng.

The process of the press conference is not complicated.

Basically, after everyone arrives, the representatives of the Kitchen Association will give some speeches, and then introduce to the media the training plan and expected goals of the National Kitchen Team this year.

The next step is to introduce a few coaches and captains of the national kitchen team, and then ask questions freely, and take a group photo.

After the press conference, the Culinary Association prepared several banquet tables in the No. [-] banquet hall of the restaurant on the sixth floor to entertain the national chef team members and reporters who came to attend the press conference.

At the banquet, Guan Shanyuan, Shu Wangjing and others just showed their faces and left.

Most of the people staying in the banquet hall are young people, and the atmosphere is very relaxed.

Needless to say, the food quality of the Culinary Association General Assembly.

Yao Yu and others mingled with each other and had a very enjoyable meal.

After the dinner, the four reporters from the Celebrity Chef Club approached Yao Yu and the others respectively, and planned to do an exclusive interview with them.

Ever since he won the championship of the Famous Selection Competition, the Famous Chef Club has been calling Yao Yu frequently, expressing that he wants to give him a detailed interview as soon as possible.

Yao Yu also knew that the exclusive interview with the Celebrity Chef Club could not be rejected, and when the reporter approached him, he did not resist much.

But Yao Yu didn't expect that the reporter responsible for conducting an exclusive interview with him today would be the same Zou Lin who secretly photographed him and Lu Chenyu having dinner on Qindao that day.

"Hello, Yao Yu, we meet again." Zou Lin held the camera and smiled, "I said, I will definitely give you an exclusive interview."

"Hello, Reporter Zou." Yao Yu looked at Zou Lin with a helpless expression, "To save time, I suggest that we go directly to the topic."

"That's fine." Zou Lin nodded, sat down with Yao Yu in the cafe of the Kitchen Association, and then turned on the recorder, "You don't mind if I record."

"Formal interview, I don't mind." Yao Yu shrugged.

"First question. Our readers care about you and want to know what you have been up to for the past three years?"

"As we all know, you temporarily left the culinary world three years ago because you lost your sense of taste. Can you tell me how you regained your sense of taste?"

Zou Lin is worthy of being a reporter of the Famous Chefs Club. He asked the most critical questions, and they were also the questions that many people, including Yang Rui and Chen Li, wanted to know.
