Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

Chef Wang looked at Xiao Weiguo with a puzzled look. Although he was very confused, he still followed his method.

He always does things in an orderly manner and will not do it for no reason. Everything must have a reason!

"Brother Wang, let's go too! We've finally gotten our last shiver, so we should be more alert and deal with it."

As they spoke, the two walked side by side.

When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he got into the car directly. Xiao Weiguo usually did not drive this car when he went to and from work, unless he went to the countryside to collect goods, because the journey was long and it was inconvenient to carry cash.

When Chef Wang saw the big-toed shoes, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Boss Xiao, this can't be necessary! How can I deserve you to drive here to pick me up? I can't afford this! No, no, I..."

"Brother Wang, please don't be so modest. This is a special case!"

"Come on, don't be polite to me, and don't feel pressured, just do your best!"

Chef Wang also knew about the secret attempt to trip him up, and he was still a little worried.

After all, they are in the light, while the enemy is in the dark.

If someone wants to frame you secretly, it can happen in a matter of minutes.

What's more, today is the final, a famous scene of all kinds of gods fighting. If anyone uses the fork in public, it will be a heavy blow to the head, ruining his reputation and killing him without a burial place.

It will be even more difficult to turn things around in the future.

After the two got in the car, Xiao Weiguo kept joking all the way, making Chef Wang laugh out loud, and he didn't seem to be so stressed anymore.

His good intentions made Lao Wang feel guilty.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in the backyard of the department store. The building behind was the venue of the competition.

"It's up to you to perform from now on. Just do your best and don't be nervous!"

Chef Wang got out of the car with a smile and went straight upstairs. He also realized that Xiao Weiguo seemed to have other plans for his two apprentices, so he simply wanted to go upstairs to calm down and prepare for the battle.

Time passed by minute by minute. Xiao Weiguo walked around the periphery of the competition area for a few laps and found nothing unusual, so he entered the venue.

But according to the time Zhang Erpang and his companions set out, they would have arrived by now even if they ran, let alone taking a taxi?

Fortunately, this competition does not require an apprentice assistant, so Xiao Weiguo dared to make such arrangements.

If something really happened to the two of them, it seemed that someone hiding in the dark had already taken action quietly.

It can be inferred that the opponent must be a contestant who has entered the finals. They have only one goal, which is to push out capable contestants and strive for the championship.

Among the five contestants who have entered the finals, one is Chef Wang and the other is Sha Zhu, so the killer must be one of the other three, and each of them is a suspect.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a tailor who doesn't want to be a cook is not a good driver...

blah blah blah

If it is really targeted, then if the first plan fails, there must be a backup plan.

Thinking of this, Xiao Weiguo immediately rushed into the meeting room and reunited with Chef Wang.

I'm afraid Dachengzi can't handle it all by himself.

At this time, quite a few people had gathered at the venue. Although only five groups of contestants entered the finals, there were still many people coming to watch the game.

Some people come to catch a glimpse of the chef, some come to taste the delicious food, and some come to poach people. After all, the chefs who make it to the finals are all elites.

There were also many reporters from newspapers, as well as staff at the game site. The TV station also had to broadcast the game live, so the game site was packed.

Although everyone is doing their own thing, there is already a phenomenon of crowding.

Xiao Weiguo walked around the venue and saw many unfamiliar faces. Although they all had work badges with instructions on them indicating which department they belonged to and what they were responsible for, the work badges were readily available.

There were even some blank signs scattered on the ground, which could be used directly by someone with ulterior motives.

The competition scene is so chaotic, it would be strange if no mistakes were made!

The more this happened, the more nervous Xiao Weiguo became. His eyelids kept twitching and he felt like something was going to happen.

After arriving at the backstage, Xiao Weiguo stayed in the contestant lounge for a while. He saw that each chef was surrounded by two or three people, serving them tea and water. However, what surprised him was that Sha Zhu was also alone!

"What's your situation? Is Lou Xiao'e only responsible for picking you up and not your apprentice?"

Sha Zhu bared his big yellow teeth and laughed meanly, "We agreed last night that we would come early today to show support. The competition is about to start, and hey, these two guys are amazing. They didn't even come! Wait and see how I'll deal with them. Old Wang, we have only one life, but we accepted two tactless apprentices. We can't rely on their help!"

Sha Zhu became more and more excited as he spoke, and he even started chatting with Xue Zhanhai who was standing next to him, mentioning that Xue Zhanhai was once a tyrant in Sijiu City.

The most famous tavern in the early years was opened by his family, and all kinds of side dishes and stir-fried vegetables were excellent.

No matter who goes to his house for a drink, the dish that must be ordered is braised beef in soy sauce.

This dish is the reason why he became famous.

He was once a local overlord, and now as the oldest chef participating in the competition, he is certainly very respected.

There are two others. One of them, like Sha Zhu, has an ancestor who came from the palace. His family has an ancestral craft that has been passed down for nineteen generations, but it has not been lost.

There is a restaurant near Houhai, which is frequented by the elderly people in their 49s.

There is another one who came from the South, and his skills are similar to Chef Wang’s. At the end of this competition, it’s not only about strength but also fame!

Just looking at these few people in front of us, any one of them is a leader among men, and it is very exciting to watch them fight in the ring.

But according to Xiao Weiguo's observation, none of the other three people had bayonets on their backs.

But excluding Sha Zhu, the most unlikely candidate, there must be a troublemaker among the other three.

Just as Xiao Weiguo was hesitating, he heard someone coming from behind him, "Mr. Xiao? How are you?"

The voice sounded familiar, with an unfriendly tone.

Xiao Weiguo turned around slowly and saw a middle-aged man with a full beard. His sharp eyes revealed a ruthlessness!

"Hey, hello! I'm sorry for my poor eyesight. May I ask who you are?"

Except for the staff with work badges, most of the people present at this venue are well-known figures.

Xiao Weiguo naturally kept a low profile.

The man snorted and smiled, "I... you don't even know me? Tsk tsk, then your eyes are really not good! I am a disciple of Zhengyang Sect..."

"Oh my god! Could it be that guy from the tavern under Zhengyang Sect... Cai Quanwu?"

It shouldn’t be...

As the man behind a successful woman, he actually came out to participate in the competition?

"May I ask your respected name?"

The more Xiao Weiguo thought about it, the more interesting it became. It was quite interesting to see the characters in the film and television drama appear one by one. However, compared with the real people who were more photogenic, it was really not that good.

"My name is Fan Jinyou! Hey man, you don't even know who I am. How did you survive in Beijing for so many years?"

Fan Jinyou acted like a big shot.
