Food customizer.

Q: It is known that there is only one second-level member in the country. How can he upgrade himself to a first-level member within three days?

When this thought popped into his mind, Su Chen amused himself.

How can this be?

Countless level 4 members across the country are trying their best to upgrade to level 3, but it is almost impossible.

I want to be promoted to a higher level. Isn't this an international joke?

Su Chen temporarily put this ridiculous idea behind him, and at the same time he felt a little anxious.

If you really do nothing during these three days, it’s really hard to say who will win in the end.

In fact, what Su Chen was most worried about was not this, but something else.

Since this is a task assigned by the higher-ups, is there any possibility in the end?

Did the higher-ups directly assign Su Chen to go to the State Guesthouse and be in charge of the banquet?

This is entirely possible. If this decision was made by the Culinary Association, Su Chen could refuse.

But what if it is the will of the top leaders?

After thinking about it, Su Chen still felt that it was not appropriate. Upgrading the level was something he had to do. After all, there was almost only one way to quickly upgrade the level now: crazy challenges from the fourth-level members across the country.

He is not a person who likes to offend others, so he kept this idea in his mind for the time being and prepared to take a rest.

After lunch break, Zhang Maolin and his group wanted to say goodbye to Su Chen, but they were stopped outside the door by Aunt Fang, who said that the boss was still sleeping and told them to just leave.

On the way back, Li Wenkui was still wondering.

"Why does it seem like Su Chen is a great sleeper?"

Zhang Maolin didn't know what to say.

Boss Su does have some skills, but he sleeps too much. It seems like he is sleeping wherever he goes.

Then Li Wenkui asked another question, "Why do you think Boss Su always wears that suit when he cooks?"

Zhang Maolin said subconsciously, "Maybe I didn't have time to change it."

Li Wenkui didn't say anything, but Su Chen's words still echoed in his mind: To be handsome!

It always feels a bit ridiculous, but somehow it seems reasonable.

After returning to the association, Zhang Maolin and others immediately found the leader to report the final results of the evaluation, and the data analysts also received the final results given by big data.

Culinary Association, in the meeting room.

"Based on the current big data, it shows that Delicious is more suitable to be the organizer of this banquet."

Zhang Maolin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was not in a position to express his opinion, he sincerely hoped that Boss Su could obtain the right to host the banquet. After all, the purpose of this banquet was to let Chinese cuisine go to the world through exchanges.

if possible.

It is not impossible to train a group of students in the future, carry out food-related activities around the world, and then develop food as a tertiary industry.

What’s the point of having a nice banquet hall or a good environment? Isn’t the final key still the quality of the food?

"What about you?" the association leader asked another colleague.

"My suggestion is that it would be best to let Boss Su be the head chef for this banquet, and the venue for the banquet should be the State Guesthouse."

Hearing this, Zhang Maolin first calmly tightened the pen in his hand. He wanted to hear what the leader had to say.

"This may not be a bad idea. Boss Su is currently the highest-ranking member in the country, and it seems his cooking skills have been recognized by you. The State Guesthouse is also the best hotel in the country for holding banquets, there is no doubt about that."

The corner of Zhang Maolin's eye twitched slightly.

The result is not a matter of minority obeying the majority, but rather a unanimous vote.

Since the leader expressed his opinion, Zhang Maolin also had an excuse to speak up.

"I don't think so."

Attracting everyone's attention to himself, Mao Lin slowly began to speak.

"Su Chen built Delicious Food from the ground up and now he finally has this opportunity. Although he also participated in the preparation of the banquet, didn't he still get the benefit from it?"

"Let me ask you, who would be willing to do this? If you insist on doing this, I have no objection, but now Boss Su is the only second-level member in the country. If the association does not have a good relationship with him, it will not be good for us, right?"

"That's all I have to say. Anyway, I support Delicious! And my personal suggestion is that we should just move the service team of the State Guest House to Delicious! As for the result, you can discuss it among yourselves."

After saying this, Zhang Maolin stood up calmly and left the meeting room in front of several colleagues and leaders.

After reaching the door, he breathed a sigh of relief.

There is a saying that goes, within the system, as long as I don’t think about promotion, no one can do anything to me!

What's more, for an old man like Zhang Maolin who is about to retire, calling you leader is already a respect.

After leaving, Zhang Maolin was still confused. Looking at Lu Yongliang's death call on his mobile phone, there were a total of eighteen missed calls. It was outrageous!

There was no result yet, so Zhang Maolin was too lazy to call Lu Yongliang back and went straight back to his office to drink tea.

Anyway, I have all the attitudes I should have.

And to be honest, Zhang Maolin is not worried about the outcome. They are not the only ones working on this matter. It might be difficult today, but by tomorrow, if nothing unexpected happens, the top leaders in Jingzhou will also start to take action.

There is a Chinese idiom that says it well: prepare for a rainy day.

Su Chen was still training himself madly and with super high intensity in the practice room.

In fact, at Su Chen's current level, with his badge and various active and passive skills, plus the full proficiency in thirty-six cooking methods, and the experience in making so many dishes.

As long as it is not a dark dish, basically anything can reach the A level.

So what Su Chen is practicing now is not anything else, but eight dishes found from the famous Chinese cookbook, almost all of which are very representative dishes.

"We need to train these dishes to at least S level within three days, so that we can challenge them!"

Correct!

If the association cannot give a clear answer after two days, Su Chen will prepare to bring eight dishes from various disciplines to the State Guesthouse to challenge them one by one!

Just decide whether you should fight or not!

But if the result is satisfactory, then these eight dishes will not be in vain.

These are representative dishes with flavors that are suitable for large banquets, and can definitely become part of the banquet menu.

It was an endless repetition of practice. When the time was up, I would return to reality, continue sleeping for two hours, and then go back to practice again.

In just two days, Su Chen felt as if two years had passed.

Looking at the eight dishes made in the practice room at one time, they each cover a famous dish from the eight major cuisines that are currently widely recognized.

Lines of text were floating in the void of the practice room.

Nothing else matters. Seeing that they were all S-level, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whether it's a challenge or preparation, the time is now!"

Leave the practice room and return to reality.

Su Chen didn't stop for a moment and ran directly to Lu Yongliang's Hubei cuisine restaurant downstairs.

The old man was busy in the kitchen directing his apprentices to prepare the ingredients needed for today. When they saw the boss coming, the apprentices stopped their work and looked at the legendary figure with respect.

Old Lu also noticed it, "I haven't seen you for two days, is everything okay?"

Su Chen poured himself a glass of juice and said, "It's okay. What did Mr. Mao Lin say?"

Lu Yongliang hammered the console. "This old guy never answers my calls! I call him at least a hundred times a day, but he never answers!"

Don't answer the phone.

Su Chen took a sip of the juice. It was freshly squeezed and should be the drink sold in the Hubei Cuisine Restaurant.

"Maybe the result is not good so he is embarrassed to answer the phone." He put the half-drunk juice on the table, "Okay, you guys are busy, I'll go out for a while."

Old Lu raised his hand and wanted to say something, but when he looked at Su Chen's back, he put his hand back.

I can only sigh inwardly, thinking that I am really old and useless now.

I remember when I first came here and met Su Chen, he was still an immature kitchen novice.

Although Lu Yongliang lost to Su Chen in steaming fish, his best dish, during that meeting, from some of Su Chen's actions, Lu Yongliang knew that this kid had a high level of comprehension and a strong learning ability.

If it were at that time, if Su Chen encountered any problems, Lu Yongliang could still use his connections and personal connections.

But now, at the level that Su Chen has reached, Lu Yongliang can no longer help.

I can only sigh silently.

Lu Yongliang slumped down on the chair and picked up his vibrating cell phone with some frustration.

【Zhang Maolin】

"Grass!"

The professor, who was always well-behaved, uttered a curse word subconsciously, and almost at the moment of sliding to answer the call, he yelled directly into the phone, "You still remember to call me back! What time is it now?"

"Don't worry, don't worry. Didn't we say it would be in three days? It's only been two days. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Lu Yongliang took a deep breath and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Tell me quickly, what's the situation at the association now?"

Although it was said to be three days, Lu Yongliang also guessed that if the result was not good, Su Chen would definitely take some action.

"Old Lu, I'm telling you, you have to thank me this time! I've put my retirement life on the line. If you..."

"Okay, got it!"

Hearing this, Lu Yongliang immediately understood what was going on.

Zhang Maolin on the other end of the phone hadn't finished speaking yet. He had originally wanted to use this matter to ask Lu Yongliang to help him talk, and at least he had to ask Boss Su to cook another meal for him. What did he mean by suddenly hanging up the phone?

No one is allowed to take credit?

However, he didn't know that after hanging up the phone, Lu Yongliang first got into the elevator and ran to the 19th floor. This time he didn't even knock on the door. He went in and took a look around and found that Su Chen was not in the house.

Then he ran to the fourth floor and the third floor!

After going around one by one and arriving at the second floor, I finally saw Su Chen in Ling Shuyu's office. From a distance, he seemed to be talking about something with President Ling.

Lu Yongliang doesn't care about these things now.

Straight into the office.

"It's settled. I'll ask Jiayi to take me to Beijing now. It will take at most one day. The company should..."

Lu Yongliang, who rushed in, didn't hear what Su Chen said at all, "Boss, boss!"

"Wait a minute, I'll finish what I'm saying now." Su Chen frowned, "The company should be fine."

"No! Boss! Xiao Su!" Lu Yongliang was so old that he was out of breath after running like crazy for so long. "Listen to me first!"

This time, before Su Chen could speak, Lu Yongliang panted and said, "He called me back! He called me back! Zhang Maolin called me back just now!"

Su Chen suddenly had an idea, "Oh? How do you mean?"

"Say" Lu Yongliang was suddenly speechless.

It seemed like they had a phone call but nothing was said. "He just said I had to thank him. I didn't know what he was going to say after that. I thought the matter must have been settled, so I hung up the phone."

Su Chen was a little stunned.

My impression is that Lu Yongliang is not such a rash person.

"Call Mao Lin first and find out what's going on, then we can talk about it."

Lu Yongliang also realized that he was a little anxious, "Okay."

After dialing Zhang Maolin's number again, the call rang several times before the other end picked up the phone. Zhang Maolin's voice sounded lazy in the receiver.

"What's up, Old Lu?"

"What were you just going to tell me?"

Zhang Maolin was looking at Er Crossed Legs over there, thinking to himself, I don’t even know you, look who is begging whom now.

"Ah? What are you talking about? I don't understand what you are saying."

This series of events made Lu Yongliang a little confused. "No, Mao Lin, you just said that I have to thank you very much. What's the matter?"

Su Chen heard Zhang Maolin still joking slowly with Lu Yongliang on the phone, so he waved at Old Lu and motioned for him to give him the phone.

"Hello? Mr. Mao Lin. I'm Su Chen."

After hearing that it was Su Chen, Zhang Maolin, who had been talking nonstop on the phone, finally stopped talking and said, "Boss Su. Uh..."

"Excuse me, what was the final discussion of the association about that matter?"

After all, he is of the same generation as Su Chen.

Zhang Maolin was still not used to joking with Su Chen. "Don't worry! The association has discussed this several times in the past two days, and the leaders of your Jingzhou City have also made an effort. This matter has been settled."

Su Chen turned on the speakerphone.

"In the end, let's follow what we said when we had dinner at your place. The service team of the State Guest House will come to your company to provide services, and you will be the chef in your own company."

Su Chen's hand holding the phone was trembling slightly.

The pen in Ling Shuyu's hand made a creaking sound.

"But there is one thing I need to tell you in advance. Maybe you have never been to a state banquet before, so you cannot decide the menu by yourself. It needs to be jointly decided by Delicious and the association."

Su Chen suppressed his ecstasy and said, "That's no problem."

Zhang Maolin nodded twice, "There are still some things to be arranged later. Let's talk in person. It's hard to explain over the phone."

It's all little things.

Su Chen has never been afraid of the menu. After all, he comes from the field of customized food, and all he does is to do whatever others request!

After agreeing immediately, he hung up the phone.

In the office, the three of them looked at each other in silence for a long time.

at last.

The three of them couldn't help but burst into excited roars.

Su Chen even raised his arms for a while.

Damn, it actually worked!
