The strongest gourmet live broadcast [Interstellar]

With the good result of ranking second in the mid-term, the corner restaurant has undoubtedly become the focus of public attention.The dish, which was already well received by tourists, has been broadcast by Capital Star's media for several days in a row, and it is truly famous throughout the empire.

In normal times, the booths in the lobby are quite ample, even during the peak dining hours, tourists do not need to queue for too long.As soon as the mid-term rankings are released, the popularity of street corner restaurants has risen to a higher level.Not only the lobby, but even the dessert area on the second floor must be reserved in advance, so that you can taste the food smoothly.

Jiang Ruan didn't expect to get the No.2 good result, and now he is looking for ways to meet the surge in tourists.In addition to taro balls, Jiang Ruan brought a series of desserts, which successfully retained the customer flow of afternoon tea, and also optimized the shortcomings of the second floor specializing in Western-style desserts.

There are still two days before the end of the God of Cookery Festival, all the shops have extended their business hours, and they have come up with the skills of pressing the bottom of the box, just wanting to get the most votes at the last opportunity.

The number of tourists on the street reached its peak, which was obviously several times higher than that at the beginning of the God of Cookery Festival.And street corner restaurants, which got excellent publicity opportunities in the early stage, are undoubtedly not the darlings of traffic.Judging from the daily votes counted in the voting area of ​​the central square, the team led by Jiang Ruan has far surpassed other opponents, occupying No.2 with a large number of votes.

Although there is still a little distance from the No.1 Xiangjia, the smaller and smaller points difference is always alerting all the teams participating in the God of Cookery Festival.

The dark horse has already arrived.

"Jiang Jiang, what should we do if we don't have enough sea cucumbers? Why are so many people ordering sea cucumbers this morning!" Qu Xiaofu anxiously ran up to the second floor and found Jiang Ruan who was taking stock of the data.

"Is it gone? I'll go to the genetic center to transfer it here." Jiang Ruan was not surprised, and immediately raised the optical brain in his hand. "Fortunately, I opened the authorization and ordered an extra order in advance..."

"Also, the utensils for the eel rice are left in the store as a welfare distribution. Ask someone to deliver some more." Qu Xiaofu looked a little unnatural, and turned away after speaking.

Jiang Ruan didn't speak, touched his nose and shook his head with a smile.

Qu Xiaofu only rested for one day, and returned to his post the next day.Although he still didn't look well, but he insisted on attendance too much, Jiang Ruan saw that he was in good spirits, so he let him go to work.

It's just that Qu Xiaofu never mentioned He Yixiao's name again, and whenever it was necessary to mention it, he always referred to him as "that who".

As a partner who signed the contract, He Yixiao continued to provide resources to the street corner restaurants from the beginning to the end.He himself didn't seem to mind Jiang Ruan's actions that day, and when he went to find Qu Xiaofu afterwards, he made a special trip to apologize to Jiang Ruan.

"Jiang Ruan: Mr. He, there are not enough tableware in the shop. Please ask someone from your company to send another batch."

In the quiet office, a new message suddenly sounded, bringing He Yixiao back to his senses.His gaze was also taken back from the photo on the desktop.

It was an extremely blurry photo, with hazy lights and shadows around it, and it had the eyes and eyebrows of a gorgeous young man who had fallen asleep and was defenseless.

He went home decadent that day, and sat for a whole day in the bedroom where the atmosphere of love still remained, looking at the messy bedding and feeling more and more regretful.Qu Xiaofu is the one he wants to keep in his heart, no matter how impulsive he is, he should not be dominated by Qu Xiaofu's fear of leaving, and thus do something wrong that makes the relationship between the two irreparable.

He is not afraid that Qu Xiaofu will beat him when he sees him, but he is very afraid that Qu Xiaofu will look at him like a passerby in the future.When Qu Xiaofu returned to Jiang Ruan's shop, he also tried to find him, but he was turned away.

Jiang Ruan is the son of his father's lover, and he has always paid attention to Jiang Ruan other than his partner.It's like an adult who grew up alone, suddenly finds a friend who could be a family member, and is naturally willing to give more care for free.

But this person's friend was severely hurt by him.Lovers and friends, the relationship collapsed overnight, leaving only business affairs.

He Yixiao put his hands together, sighed, and lowered his head to reply to the new message sent by Jiang Ruan.

To do wrong is to do wrong, and he is irrefutable.The most intense node of the God of Cookery Festival has arrived, and Jiang Ruan's team needs to concentrate on nothing else.He'd better wait for the God of Cookery Festival to end before going to save everything...

Jiang Ruan, who returned to the back kitchen, was completely unaware of the changes in He Yixiao's heart who was far away at the company's headquarters. He was preparing the new menu for the last day.For most of the dishes to be served, he has completed targeted training for all chefs.Only the last dish, he has not made up his mind yet.

"Jiang Jiang, are you worried about the stone pot rice?" Ryan held a glass of light purple mulberry juice and put it on the table that Jiang Ruan was leaning against.

"Do you think it's better for us to handle the stone pot rice in the back kitchen? Or serve it to the booth in the lobby and let everyone make it by themselves?" Jiang Ruan raised his hand and made a gesture.

"If you do it yourself, it's the same as the party on the third floor. Barbecue allows tourists to do it themselves, which has different fun." Ryan touched his chin. "The dishes in the lobby need to be of a high standard. If you operate the third floor by yourself, it is inevitable that tourists will have the illusion that the dishes are mediocre due to their lack of personal skills."

"I expected this, I have to give it a try..." Jiang Ruan narrowed her eyes, and turned to dig out the ingredients in the refrigerator. "If it's not too difficult, I'll let the customer do it themselves, and we'll just have to deal with it in the early stage. If we keep this feature, it must be our unique advantage."

"It's quite IMBA..." Ryan chuckled, lowering his head and hooking the corners of his mouth.

"What?" Jiang Ruan raised her eyebrows, not understanding what her members meant.

"Imbalance in balance..." Ryan's eyes flashed a little thought. "The Rotten Gods and the others understand this, that is to say, in a balanced environment, someone breaks the balance of power, starts to carry the audience, and leads all victories."

"How do you say it?" Jiang Ruan reacted, and it turned out that Ryan used game language.

"Jiawen and I have inspected other shops, no matter whether it is the leader Xiangjia or the small team in the outer street, none of them are willing to let tourists do it themselves." Ryan looked excited, "But you are different, you are completely different from them .”

"Huh?" Jiang Ruan answered Ryan's words while cleaning the ingredients and preparing to shred them.

"Everyone keeps the technology under wraps, for fear that if it leaks out, it will cut off the source of income." Ryan's expression was full of doubts, and there was still a third of interest. "But you have been famous for live broadcasting from the very beginning. Every process and every dish, as long as you are an expert, you can know the process and technique at a glance. You seem to not care about technology leaks at all."

"Is there any problem?" Jiang Ruan raised his eyebrows, peeled and sliced ​​the chubby carrot in his hand, and moved the knife very quickly, cutting out the even and slender carrot shreds under the blade.

"Then, when I joined your team, I realized that things are not that simple. Although the third floor only accepts reservations from big customers, it is completely operated by tourists themselves. We will only guide you in the early stage, and it depends on whether it is delicious or not. Tourist craftsmanship! In this way, those who can get in touch with your craftsmanship are not only experts, but even unrelated passers-by can learn some cooking skills..."

"Yes, they know some, and it saves me trouble." Jiang Ruan smiled lightly, and picked up the washed spinach, bean sprouts and enoki mushrooms.Continue to shred and cut according to the method of cutting carrots. "I don't want my guests to just marvel at the deliciousness of the dishes."

Surprised by Jiang Ruan and his natural tone, Ryan stared at Jiang Ruan's thin shoulders and slightly drooping head, and slowly exhaled. "Boss, you are playing a big game of chess..."

Isn't this just making trouble?

When everyone keeps secret about the spread of skills, a person who breaks the rules appears and attracts a lot of attention with his complicated skills.And it is very likely to use this to win the highest honor in this industry.

What will be the result of this?

Let the established rules collapse.

Just let this old industry change blood.

"Yes, are you dating?" Jiang Ruan's smile deepened.Sure enough, he was not mistaken about this genius who was the only genius in this year's Imperial University who had obtained the qualification, and he was indeed more spiritual than his friend Qu Xiaofu.

"..." Ryan was speechless for a while, but his eyes became brighter and brighter. "If you get No.1 tomorrow, my guess is absolutely right!"

"I'm just asking if you want to make an appointment." Jiang Ruan picked up the egg, thought it over and put it back to the side.

"...a date!" Ryan folded his arms and laughed, and the unrestrained laughter made other chefs in the back kitchen look over. "Bring me one! It's almost on fire!"

"Yeah." Jiang Ruan nodded noncommittally. "Forget it, let me deal with the stone pot first. After processing these ingredients, I will start to stir-fry the beef. When I finish all this, I will have a well-oiled and heated stone pot on the stove."

"Okay, let's go." Ryan nodded hastily.

Jiang Ruan processed the ingredients very quickly. When the beef in the pot was mixed with black pepper and sesame oil, the stone pot on Ryan's side also heated up, and the white rice that had already been cooked was pressed on it.

Jiang Ruan listened to the sizzling sound of the stone pot in the fire, and turned off the small fire that kept burning.

"Generally, when there is this sound, the rice that is closest to the stone pot begins to have crusts. It is difficult to control the heat of rice crusts. If it is too much, it will not bite. The best state is a thin layer of rice crusts, mixed with rice grains. It is crispy and can add a lot of flavor.”

"Then directly cover the vegetables? Didn't you say that you need to add an egg?" Ryan frowned.

"Yes, it's right to cover the vegetables." Jiang Ruan nodded, and coded the several kinds of half-cooked vegetable shreds that were blanched in water on the rice, and finally covered the fried beef in the middle.

"What about the eggs?" Ryan stared suspiciously at the eggs with intact shells on the stove.

"The menu I wrote to everyone at the beginning was indeed prepared to use fried eggs, but if you let the guests do it themselves, just beat raw eggs on it." Jiang Ruan took the hot stone pot from the stove with metal tongs Next, place it on a wooden tray, and transfer it to the long table in the back kitchen.

"The temperature is enough, let the tourists stir it by themselves?" The cooks who came to watch also understood Jiang Ruan's thoughts.

"Yes, I will tell the waiter in the lobby later that tourists must keep their eyes on them when they are stirring. If they are not stirred evenly, they cannot be eaten if they are not cooked." Jiang Ruan nodded. While cracking an egg.

The clear egg liquid and round egg yolk landed on the rice covered with various ingredients, flowing down and seeping through the gaps in the ingredients.Sprinkle a handful of sesame seeds on the egg liquid, making it extra delicate.

Everyone saw that the transparent egg liquid slowly turned white under the high temperature, and under the action of Jiang Ruan bibimbap, it was smashed into egg flowers, which were evenly distributed in every corner of the bibimbap.

The red sweet and spicy sauce, together with several kinds of shredded vegetables, exudes an attractive aroma under high temperature. The plump and white rice has slightly browned rice crackers, and the beef dipped in sesame oil is half hidden under the rice and vegetables, tempting People come to taste.

The dark and thick round stone pot was still making a slight burning sound, and everyone couldn't help but find their own spoons to try Jiang Ruan's craftsmanship.

"It's very simple, just mix the ingredients well. The main thing is the heat and duration of the hot rice, and the taste of the sauce." Jiang Ruan compared the stone pot, "I will remind the waiter to pay attention when you make it. The temperature of the pot is very high, so remember not to get scalded. Don’t eat it immediately after it comes out of the pot. The characteristic of stone pot is that it can keep the high temperature for a long time, so don’t be in a hurry, let the sauce taste good, and it’s also a good way to eat.”

"Don't tell me these things, I can only think of one word now, hungry!" Qu Xiaofu waved his hand, and took a spoonful of it first.I blew it twice and sent it to my mouth. It was so hot that I couldn't breathe it out, "...delicious! Delicious!"

With the first person to strike, the steaming pot of bibimbap was quickly divided up.

The entrance is plump and chewy rice grains, dipped in sweet and spicy sauce, giving people a different experience.Shiitake mushrooms are flexible, and fungus is smooth and tender.Crispy bean sprouts, flexible shredded carrots, juicy enoki mushrooms, and stir-fried beef make everyone want to stop.I wanted to get a second spoonful, but I didn't expect that the bowl was already empty when I lowered my head.

"Jiang Jiang, I still want to eat..." Ryan, who had been staying by Jiang Ruan's side, only ate a spoonful, and his face was full of satisfaction.

"Make it yourself. Tomorrow, I will make a large portion of this dish." Jiang Ruan thought that the next day would be the last battle of the God of Cookery Festival, and looked at the empty stone pot, with a flash of desire for victory in his eyes.

***

The last day of the God of Cookery Festival, in the final battle that is about to end.In the morning when bibimbap is the main food, street corner restaurants attract a large number of customers because of the variety of bibimbap.

And the refreshing do-it-yourself bibimbap makes every tourist who has experienced stone pot rice have a deep memory.Ballots were put in one by one, and the electronic channels without black box operations were blocked and monitored. Even the organizing committee itself could not control the inflow of ballots.All the media were staring at the big screen in the central square, and the data pages that were originally scrolling were suspended from display, deliberately leaving suspense for the award ceremony in the evening.

No one knows that the votes of each house have changed in the last few hours.

As soon as the peak meal time at noon passed, the chefs in the back kitchen obviously began to get nervous.From time to time, I refresh the reports of the Capital Star media, and my hands are not only on the stove but also on the optical brain.

"Wow, our stone pot rice was broadcast on Capital Star News..."

"Life Channel predicts that we will be the champions this time? Really?"

"The federal special correspondent said that she insisted that Xiang Jia was re-elected..."

"When the data was finally reported, we were still No.2, right?"

"Yes, don't panic..."

In the back kitchen, the atmosphere gradually became tense.High-quality dishes are still being produced in an orderly manner, but everyone's nerves are tense.

Jiang Ruan stood on the second floor blowing the air, put his hands together on the fence, and looked down at the increasingly dense traffic on the main road.

It is impossible to say that you are not nervous, and no amount of worrying will help.Any speculation is not as valuable as a one-second announcement.The last few hours were extremely tough, with all the participating teams doing their best.Without knowing the latest rankings at all, the blind man stands on the last post like an elephant.

At dusk, when the voting channels were closed, Jiang Ruan received an official notice from the organizing committee.

"Imperial God of Cookery Festival Organizing Committee: To the leaders of the participating teams, this year's God of Cookery Festival is coming to an end, thank you for your support and company along the way. Tourist voting channels have been closed, and all entrances and exits of the God of Cookery Festival Park have begun to limit traffic. It is recommended that all shops From now on, we will suspend business and lead the team to the central square to gather signatures. The award ceremony will begin when the voting channel ends, so please do not miss it.”

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ruan turned and went downstairs.There are still many tourists in the lobby, and they have all been notified by the organizing committee. Even if they don't want to leave, they all get up and prepare to go to the central square.

There was silence in the back kitchen, and Jiang Ruan's entry broke the frozen atmosphere.

"Are you ready? We are about to set off." Jiang Ruan said in a relaxed tone, as if he was not affected by everyone's tense atmosphere at all.

"Jiang Jiang, I'm so nervous, what should I do?" Qu Xiaofu rubbed his forehead, ignoring He Yixiao who approached.

"I'm also a little bit flustered. It's mainly about the first or second place competition. If the ranking is very low at the beginning, I don't think I will be so anxious..." Ryan pursed his lips and pulled a wry smile.

"It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen." Jiang Ruan took a deep breath. "We've done our best, pack up and let's go."

A large number of tourists have gathered on the periphery of the central square, and inside the protective fence are various media colleagues with long guns and short guns.The newly equipped stage energy lights are gathered together, and the high-rise display screen is playing the promotional materials of each team in a loop, causing tourists to exclaim from time to time.

When Jiang Ruan arrived with the team, there were already many teams sitting on the seats beside the field.The seats were divided into two by the aisle, and the seats on both sides closest to the stage belonged to the first and second places before the data was released—Xiang Jia's team and Jiang Ruan's team.

The Xiang family seemed to have arrived at the venue early, and Xiang Bai kept scanning his head, and when he caught Jiang Ruan's figure, he began to shake his hands excitedly.Xiang Yuan took a fixed look with no other expression on his face.

"Jiang Ruan seems to have a good relationship with the Xiang family..."

"Don't you remember the relationship between Jiang Ruan and Xiang's brothers at the Lan's birthday banquet?"

"One or two take it all, I don't know how many are left..."

"I'm just curious about who will win the championship."

"Aren't they all the same? A strong alliance, one old top brand, and the other a new force, it's a good show."

"Bet a thousand stars coins or the Xiang family will be reelected..."

"Don't talk too soon..."

"The favorites for the championship are led by young people. The world has changed!"

"Jiang Ruan is said to be a recent graduate. My God, this ability will be his world after Xiang Jia retires, right?"

"You don't have to wait until Xiang Jia retires, right? I have no objection to winning the championship with Master Jiang's good looks!"

"It's all handsome boys!"

Several teams at the back watched Jiang Ruan lead the team into the arena, lowered their voices and began to discuss.Ignoring these discussions, everyone quickly found their seats, sat down, and got together to chat.

"Mom, I'm so nervous..."

"I came all the way just now, and it has attracted much attention."

"I have never been stared at by so many people, and my hands are sweating."

"Am I the only one thinking that the ingredients in the store are half processed?"

"If I win the championship, I want to eat a spoon live!"

"Don't forget your words!"

"Jiang Jiang, how long will it take? My hands are shaking..." Qu Xiaofu bent slightly, turned his head and asked softly.

Just as Jiang Ruan was about to shake his head, he looked up and saw a familiar figure.Mu Zexi was standing on the side of the stage, holding a thick document and flipping through it.The straight back, long and straight legs, and the concentrated and handsome face all silently attracted the attention of the audience.

In the tourist area not far away and someone noticed Mu Zexi, several girls gathered together to laugh and take pictures.

Jiang Ruan frowned indistinctly, and just about to look away, Mu Zexi looked up and caught him.

"Eh? Isn't that your friend? He appeared in the store last time. Is he a staff member of the God of Cookery Festival? I haven't noticed it...yeah? He came over..." Qu Xiaofu followed Jiang Ruan looked over.

Obviously he didn't know the identity of Mu Zexi.

As for the person in charge of the God of Cookery Festival who had never shown his face in public, everyone was still unfamiliar with Mu Zexi.But for some reason, this time he came directly to the venue, as if he was going to host the awards ceremony.

"How is it? Are you nervous?" Mu Zexi walked steadily, approached and sat next to Jiang Ruan, his tone flat.

"A little bit, didn't you say that you don't appear in public? Doesn't it affect you?" Jiang Ruan frowned.

"It used to be, but now it's not necessary." Mu Zexi was stunned, and shook his head with a chuckle, "I've already found the job I want to do in the future, I've found a partner, and I can stabilize now."

"That's it." Jiang Ruan nodded and glanced at the crowd around him.His expression was not serious, he was joking and laughing. "How? Do you know the result?"

"I don't know, really." Mu Zexi fondly rubbed the head of his lover beside him. "I'm the person in charge, and I can't know and manipulate it in advance. Just wait. Those who work hard, God will pay off."

"It's not as exaggerated as you said, I just started..." Jiang Ruan lowered his head, humbly, then suddenly raised his head when he thought of something, blushed and lowered his voice and approached. "If it's really No.1, what's the reward? Or, let me come tonight?"

"What for once?" A smile flashed in Mu Zexi's eyes, as if he had seen Jiang Ruan's intentions, he asked noncommittally.

"That's, that's at night, on top once!" Jiang Ruan took Mu Zexi's hand, rubbing his knuckles ambiguously.

Mu Zexi didn't speak for a while, and gave Jiang Ruan a meaningful look in his eyes.Under the expectant eyes of his lover, he responded lightly.
