Star Food Tycoon

"Hey, don't be afraid." Xuan Jing patted Xia Zheng on the back, "I'm sorry... I didn't come here earlier, and I left you with such bad memories."

Xia Zheng's face was full of confusion, and it took him a long time to understand what Xuan Jing was talking about.

"Actually, it's nothing..." Xia Zheng was about to say something, when he suddenly felt a little awkward in this posture.

Xuan Jing was indeed slightly taller than Xia Zheng. The two stood up straight, and Xia Zheng's chin could rest on Xuan Jing's shoulder.

According to family inheritance, Xia Zheng is quite tall, and Xuan Jing is taller than him, probably because he is older?

But when they first spoke, Xia Zheng was sitting on the single sofa, and Xuan Jing was sitting on the armrest of the sofa.With Xuanjing's embrace like this, Xia Zheng buried his whole face in his arms, Xia Zheng's face was blurred by Xuanjing's aura, and Xia Zheng, who had no thoughts at first, suddenly panicked.

Although I was often hugged and hugged when I was a child, it is still strange to be hugged by someone in such a weak posture when I grow up.

I always feel that it seems a little ambiguous?

But before Xia Zheng came back to his senses, Xuan Jing had let go of his embrace, and patted him on the shoulder instead: "I know you are strong, but protecting you is my business, it has nothing to do with whether you are strong or not."

"Uh...thank you." Would it be enough to just say thank you at this time?Xia Zheng was dumbfounded.

Xuan Jing couldn't help sighing, feeling very frustrated in his heart.

Although the hug just now was a moment of enthusiasm, he also took into account the current atmosphere very well.The relationship between him and Xia Zheng is already relatively close, and Xia Zheng also has a tendency to treat him as a friend, or even a brother.

This is not what he wants.

Taking advantage of Xia Zheng's lack of positioning for his role, Xuan Jing decided to make a small breakthrough and create some ambiguity.

As a result, Xia Zheng didn't understand at all.

But going one step further, Xuan Jing was afraid that Xia Zheng, who had finally trusted him, would shrink back.

Although he has never been in a relationship, Xuan Jing thinks that his emotional intelligence is not bad, and he can be considered patient in trapping prey, and the current results are also expected.

But Xia Zheng's insulatory attitude towards love still makes Xuan Jing very upset.

How about some blush and heartbeat?He thinks that he looks good and has a great figure. Can such a close contact spark a little spark?Could it be that Xia Zheng likes the opposite sex?But I didn't see him paying too much attention to any woman.

Uh...except for Xu Ying.

"You..." Xuan Jing helplessly reached out and ruffled Xia Zheng's hair, "Forget it, you're still young, take your time."

Xia Zheng "???", confused, what is Xuan Jing talking about?Could it be that his strength is not enough?

Xia Zheng thought for a while, then nodded solemnly: "I will continue to work hard!"

Xuan Jing: "..."

Although I feel miserable, but I almost can't help laughing, what should I do?

"Ahem." Xuan Jing sighed, "I don't think what I said meant the same thing as you. But... let's talk about it later."

Xia Zheng: "???" Then what do you mean, explain clearly, I'm so curious.

Xuan Jing changed the topic, and changed to talk about what he saw at the food conference today.

Xia Zheng saw that Xuanjing didn't intend to continue the conversation, so he could only suppress his curiosity, and began to evaluate the food that he ate today, and by the way, he wanted to talk about Xuanjing.

Seeing Xuanjing's envious look, Xia Zheng found it interesting and happy.

This is probably a bad taste that has only been cultivated recently.Who made Xuan Jing always look like he was planning a strategy and didn't care about everything?

... The food conference started to heat up in the two-two confrontation on the second day, but Xia Zheng had seen all this before he was reborn. Although it was a bit embarrassing to see various special effects battles this time, in general, he was quite calm.

Compared with the few people who were very excited throughout the whole process of being special guests, Xia Zheng's expression was somewhat envious and respectful, but generally speaking it was quite normal.

During the live broadcast, there will often be cameras on Xia Zheng's side, and the host will also bring Xia Zheng along during the commentary from time to time.

The main idea is that Xia Zheng is not at the same level as the people next to him. He is a master at the same height as the gourmet masters present, so his expression is so calm.

I don't know if the host is Xia Zheng's natural blackness or a brain-dead fan. Anyway, there is a negative news about Xia Zheng's blackness on the Internet, saying that Xia Zheng's face is as big as a basin. If he is not eligible to participate in the next food conference, look at him Where did he put his face, did he think it would be great to be awarded the title of gourmet master at this age.

Naturally, Xia Zheng doesn't pay attention to these gossips on the Internet, but Ning Yun has a hobby of dragging out his blog every now and then.Seeing this popularity, his face turned dark.

After thinking about it for a while, Ning Yun forwarded a piece of Heizi's remarks and wrote, "It's quite remarkable."

Although Ning Yun has not reached Xia Zheng's status in the mecha manufacturing industry before his rebirth, his life journey this time has been smoother and smoother. He is currently famous, and he often writes some interesting jokes. After Facebook, he quickly became an Internet celebrity.

He posted this one, and soon there were people watching.

"Hahahaha, I knew Xiao Ningzi would definitely come out to support his friend!"

"What the hell is Xiao Ningzi..."

"Upstairs must be a newcomer, Xiao Ningzi, please click the [link] to jump."

"Why bother upstairs, just say that this is the nickname of Xiao Ningzi's partner."

"Nickname +1, hahahahahaha laughing loudly, Xiao Ningzi will blow up again."

"Ning Yun: Call me little Ningzi again and I'll kill you! Xia Yu: Good little Ningzi!"

"Don't be like this upstairs, it's not easy for Second Brother Xia."

"Is it not easy for Second Brother Xia to abuse dogs, woof woof."

"That's right, dog abuse, woof woof."

"CP fans are self-respecting, please don't swipe CP under the real face blog, causing trouble to the parties."

"Yes, I have to wait until the two of them get their certificates. There are still a few years left."

"...Is it crooked?"

……

Ning Yun's face turned darker.

What about supporting Xia Xiaozheng together?These fans are just too much!It's completely crooked to get his nickname!It was all Xia Yu's fault!

"Hey, why are you staring at me?" Xia Yu felt a strong murderous aura, and when she turned her head, she saw Ning Yun staring at him with murderous aura, and leaned over to take a look with a confused face, "I'm dizzy, and I'm blackmailing my Xiaozheng again. , this group of people are all boring?!"

Xia Yu immediately logged into Facebook aggressively, and reposted Ning Yun's remarks: "I also think it's amazing, no matter whether I can participate in the next food conference or not. It will get angry, and now it's showing murderous intent, it's so scary (picture: I'm afraid)."

The fans downstairs went crazy.

"Alright, Second Brother Xia, we don't call Xiao Ningzi Second Brother Xia, Xiao Ningzi."

"I think Xiao Ningzi's murderous intent is more serious when he sees Second Brother Xia's Weibo."

"Am I the only one who thinks Second Brother Xia is cute and cute! The three brothers of the Xia family are all cute! Oh, oh, Second Brother Xia, my wife!"

"My brother Mengxia, the lazy look is so sexy, I can't close my legs."

"Big Brother and Second Brother give it to you, I will accept it from Xiaozheng (picture: smiling)."

"Hehe, let's fight upstairs! I won't let any of the three Xia family brothers out!"

"I feel like we've gone awry again..."

……

Ning Yun's face has indeed turned darker, who the hell has something to do with Xia Yu!But he has experienced a past that is getting darker and darker, and it is difficult to clarify it. The more he clarifies, the more enthusiastic the fans are.

Xia Yu happily watched the fans confess to him, and even poked Xia Qin on his face.

Xia Qin glanced at it, but ignored it.Although he has a Facebook account and occasionally supports Xia Zheng, he is also a person who rarely gets an account.

Xuan Jing wanted to say a few words at first, but Xia Zheng glanced at him: "Aren't you black enough? Don't go up, the more noisy and chaotic. Xia Yu and Ning Yun are already active on the Internet, so it's okay for them to say a few words .And you are going to officially join the job soon? You can’t play Facebook in the future, right?”

Xuan Jing thinks about it too.After officially joining the military, private Facebook is not allowed.In case any important information is accidentally leaked.

Of course, when I got home, I secretly opened a trumpet to watch, as long as I reported it, it was still possible.

Now he should try to stay out of the public eye as much as possible.

Anyway, Xia Xiaozheng never read these remarks, and it seemed pointless to argue with them.

Xuan Jing turned off his Facebook, but some of the onlookers under his Facebook were not very happy.

The eldest brother of the Xia family hardly posts on Facebook, the second brother of the Xia family supports the younger brother, and Ning Yun supports the younger brother on the friend side, and other good friends, classmates and even acquaintances of Xia Zheng reposted Ning Yun. This face blog expresses support for Xia Zheng.

Although Xuan Jing didn't post much on his Facebook these days, he was also a person who updated his status from time to time before.I heard that they were seated next to each other, what Ning Yun and Xia Yu knew, Xuan Jing couldn't possibly not know, right?He didn't even forward it to support Xia Zheng.

unacceptable!Thanks to Xia Zheng who loves him so much!I paid so much for him! (where???)

Of course, this kind of remarks only took a moment, and then they were photographed by Xuan Jing's brain-dead fans.However, because Xuanjing's brainless fans are too arrogant, passers-by are a little unhappy.

Now Xuan Jing is not too high-profile, and when Xuan Jing climbs higher and higher in the future, people who hate him will spring up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. At that time, the deeds of scumbags will be copied.

When Xuan Jing realized later that he was called a scumbag because of this incident, he felt extremely wronged.He wanted to post it, but was stopped by his brother-in-law.

...The three-day competition passed in a blink of an eye. As a bystander, Xia Zheng was not too excited.

Maybe Xia Zheng will be excited when he stands in the gourmet conference and competes with this group of gourmet masters.

The final ranking of this food conference, the top [-] did not change much, but there were many changes in the ranking within the [-].

However, it can still be seen that the different levels of gourmet masters are still very fixed, but the internal rankings have changed a little.

And the gourmet master who won the championship this time was No.2 in the previous year.The previous champion came in third.

For them, the championship is not only about strength, but also depends on a little luck.

After the competition ended and the gastronomy conference closed, it finally came to the part that Xia Zheng and others were looking forward to being instructed by the gastronomy master.

This is an internal exchange meeting after the closing ceremony. There will be no reporters present, and the atmosphere among the gourmet masters is much more relaxed.

Xia Zheng also discovered that the two masters who fought from the opening ceremony to the end had a good personal relationship.

Of course, although the two of them had a good personal relationship, they also had constant quarrels.Is it another good way to express feelings?

"Xiao Zheng." Lisa saw Xia Zheng at a glance, and flew over, "Have you seen my wonderful performance?"

Lisa's ranking has improved significantly this time, and she is only a few ranks away from her goal Kun, so it can be said that she has reached the same level.This made her, who usually behaved glamorous and noble, couldn't help being overly excited.

Xia Zheng was almost stepped on by her high heels, and managed to stand still: "It's wonderful, congratulations."

"Xiaozheng, let me introduce you." Kun also walked over.Although Lisa was not very happy when she saw Kun's expression, but considering that it was a public place, she was not too out of line.The atmosphere between the cousins ​​is good on the surface.

But Lisa didn't have any bad feelings towards Kun, but she just hated Barry very much.

She was indifferent to Kun, but because she was angry that Kun favored Barry and ignored her.To put it bluntly, she is still a brother-controller.

Kun came over and pulled Xia Zheng to say hello, but Lisa didn't leave.She is also an acquaintance of Xia Xiaozheng, so naturally they went to support the children together.

The top-ranked gourmet masters have personal relationships with each other, and even if they have bad tempers, they still have a bit of face.

After all, he is the top person in the same field.

The elders of this group vary in age, but the youngest is in his fifties. Compared to Xia Zheng, they are all uncles and aunts.

"...I thought I was quite young at first." Wu Yi, who is currently the youngest contestant in the food competition, said with a smile, "Compared with Xiaozheng, I seem to be old too."

"Isn't this great? As soon as you entered the food conference, you set us off as old bacon. Now that there are new fresh meats coming in, you can experience the mood of our old bacon." A smiling bearded man The middle-aged man laughed.

"Where is it? Master Foley was like this ten years ago, and he is still like this now. How old is he?" Wu Yi is obviously very familiar with this master named Foley, and he is not very polite when speaking.

Foley also smiled without being angry, and continued joking with Wu Yi.

"Foley, how does it feel to be pulled down from the throne of the food king by me this time?" A beautiful woman who presumably dyed white waves on purpose came over with a glass of wine and said with a smile, "You sat so much It's finally my turn to be the food king of the year."

"Congratulations." Foley said, "But the next session may not be certain."

"I don't care about the next round, anyway, I won this round." The beauty winked at Xia Zheng, "Is this the little genius from ASEAN? Come, give my sister a hug, she looks so handsome. "

"...Furla, show some face," Lisa obviously knew this beauty quite well, and said sarcastically, "You are old enough to be Xiaozheng's mother-in-law and sister."

Fulla pointed to her well-maintained face: "Look, it can be broken by blowing a bomb, sister is eighteen years old."

Xia Zheng was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously answered, "...But I'm almost twenty."

"..." Fulla almost choked the wine she had just drank into her trachea.

"Your little friend has always been so dumb?" Fulla coughed and glared at Lisa.

"...Did I say something wrong?" Xia Zheng said hastily, "I'm sorry, this is a tissue."

"That's right, you're just too dull." Kun shrugged, "You have to know, eighteen is just a metaphor, don't be so serious."

Now that several other top gourmet masters in the alliance had gathered around, Kun introduced Xia Zheng one by one.

Of course, the other young chefs who came with Xia Zheng did not let go. The masters all had high hopes for these rising stars, and they did not hide their culinary experience.

However, Xia Zheng's treatment is still different from others. After a series of tentative discussions, the gourmet masters began to discuss skills with Xia Zheng on an equal footing.After knowing Xia Zheng's superb knives, an ASEAN chef who is good at knives came to discuss with Xia Zheng.

The two brought a cup of patches from the table and started cutting. The speed was very fast, and the cut patches were thin and uniform.

"...Although they are comparable, I actually lost." The chef put the cut patch directly into his mouth, "I didn't have such superb knife skills when I was your age."

"But it's very difficult to improve the knife skills at this level." Xia Zheng also unceremoniously ate the patches he cut, so it's not a waste.

He has nothing to be proud of, even if his path of cultivation is not magnanimous, his life span in his previous life was slightly longer than that of ordinary people, so the time to practice knife skills is not short.

The knife skills brought from the previous life have not improved much in this life.

"That's true." The chef sighed, "I have cut a lot of strange things, but I still haven't made the knife one step closer."

Many gourmet masters have their own special skills.The best thing about this chef is his knife skills, and his knife skills are famous all over the league.Although it can't be said to be the first, it is definitely the highest level.

Of course, in addition to knife skills, there is also a lot of seasoning and so on. A delicacy is not only delicious if it is cut well.

But knife work is still an important part for him.

"I've also cut a lot of things, but it doesn't seem to be useful." Although Xia Zheng doesn't specialize in knife cooking, knife skills are a very important basic skill for traditional ASEAN chefs.

But now the culinary skills of the Eastern and Western Leagues have long been mixed together, and the chefs on the Western League side, knife skills are also compulsory courses.Seeing that the two men were discussing about knife work, they also joined in to discuss the bottleneck they encountered.

At this time, no one was jealous that Xia Zheng encountered a bottleneck at a young age.

Because knife skills are not something that can be played with talent, it needs hard training.

If the knife skills of a young man under the age of 20 have reached the level of their five or sixty years old, it can only show that he has spent enough effort.

The league attaches great importance to young people, and parents will protect their children until they are at least 25 years old, and sometimes they will be around 30 years old before they will be allowed to be independent.

Of course, some families are different, and the education of their children is also different, but it is hard for them to imagine Xia Zheng crying.

Such a young child practiced with a terrible kitchen knife day after day and year after year, how cruel the parents were.

Distressed.

After Xia Zheng heard their exclamation, he couldn't help touching his nose, feeling a little guilty towards his parents.

His parents never forced him, he practiced on his own initiative, and sometimes secretly practiced to avoid the distress of his relatives.

He has not suffered any setbacks and trials in this life, which were all brought about by his previous life.The accumulation of previous life will make him a genius in this life.

Xia Zheng can't talk about things in his previous life, but in this life he contacted him on his own initiative, not because his parents were harsh, so he still has to defend himself.

The gourmet masters around who claimed to be seniors and elders sighed again that Xia Zheng was under too much pressure and was too hard on himself.But only by being cruel to yourself can you become a talent.

"Hey, you are really working so hard because you have a crush on Xuanjing, right?" Fulla whispered in Xia Zheng's ear.

Xia Zheng's ears were blown by the heat, and his cheeks immediately turned a little red: "...No, where did the rumor come from, it has nothing to do with Brother Xuan."

"My face turned red, and I said it's okay." Fulla smiled gossipingly.

Xia Zheng rubbed his ears.Didn't you make yourself famous?What does it have to do with Brother Xuan?What kind of secret love is too outrageous.

But at this time, Xia Zheng also felt Ning Yun's heart that was getting darker and darker. The more he explained, the more people around him looked like "I understand, I understand that children are shy", which made him very embarrassed.

In the end, Xia Zheng could only shut up silently and let these people gossip.

Anyway, he was the youngest, so it seemed okay to be teased.

The rest of the friends who came together saw that Xia Zheng had integrated into the group of gourmet masters, and it was impossible not to be envious, and it was normal to be a little bit jealous.

But no way.

Xia Zheng's strength lies there, and he has been recognized by gourmet masters.Xia Zheng is probably a master of the same level in their hearts.

And they are just juniors.

I don't know how long it will take when I get to this point.

However, a few of them came all the way with their reputations as geniuses, and they are all proud masters.Being stimulated by Xia Zheng, they were also very motivated.

Although there is a gap, as long as you work hard, you will eventually catch up.Not to mention that my talent is not bad, there are even some gourmet masters who are late bloomers and come from behind.

The chef who is currently ranked second has suddenly realized his strength since he was two hundred years old, and he is firmly in the top ten of the food conference.

I certainly have hope.

Under Xia Zheng's whipping, these few geniuses who had been slacking off because of their fame, washed away their impetuosity, and began to pick up the steadfastness and diligence they had when they first came into contact with cooking, and their achievements were indeed good.

Therefore, a monster can lead to the rise of a group of geniuses, and finally create the glory of an era.
