Liuxiang

As soon as the voice fell, the lights on the stage suddenly went out, and the darkness lasted for a short three to five seconds. Immediately, a beam of soft and bright light shone from the zenith towards the diagonally opposite side of the backstage where Yi Baitang and others were.

A figure emerges from the end of the light.

He slowly approached the sight of everyone.

The person is still the same person, the face is the same face, and even the clothes are no different from the past of the owner who appeared here.But for some reason, when he approached slowly from afar, everyone held their breaths and became nervous for no reason, as if what slowly appeared in front of them was not someone like themselves, but a legend that spanned an entire century. !

As the host just said.

He has long since retired.

He is worthy of honor.

His name is known and must be known by all chefs. After a hundred years, there must be an important page in the history of chefs!

Yi Baitang left the scarlet curtain.

The next step is the award ceremony and speeches to the big devil.It may be very new to others, but for Yi Baitang, this kind of award ceremony was followed by the Great Demon King when he was very young, and he didn't want to go through it again, and most of those experiences were given by the Great Demon King as the award presenter. Awarding trophies, big or small, to the excited winners... I remember that a long time ago, he also thought this kind of award ceremony was very noble, and then when the big devil was about to award the trophies to the winners, he secretly took them I bought another smaller silver trophy, and I want to award it along with it...

"The result?" Shang Huaiyan couldn't help asking.Brother Jiang was huddling behind the curtain with the two children to closely monitor the progress of the awards ceremony, and he had no time to manage Shang Huaiyan for the time being.

"?" Yi Baitang glanced at Shang Huaiyan in bewilderment, thinking that he was acting in his heart just now, so he didn't say anything out of his mouth, right?

"You didn't say it," Shang Huaiyan replied briskly, "I just saw what you were thinking from your face~"

"Then I fell down on the stage." Yi Baitang said flatly.

Since then he has had a faint shadow on the podium.

"Is Baitang talking about the past?" Brother Jiang's laughing voice was inserted behind, Yi Baitang and Shang Huaiyan turned their heads to look, and saw Brother Jiang and the little fat man with exactly the same satisfied faces as Jiang Xue. Leave behind the curtain and walk towards here.

Senior Brother Jiang was obviously very happy today, he had already blurted out Yi Baitang's name twice in a row.

You must know that as the chief judge of the judging panel of the King of Chefs Competition and the senior executives of the Chefs Association, he usually pays great attention to avoiding suspicion. For details, please refer to Yi Baitang's Little Suiyuan Challenge last time.

But now, Brother Jiang has completed his last goal of this year's King of Chefs competition: to hold an unprecedented feast for his teacher.

Therefore, he lost his composure a little bit, and closed his eyes with a smile from the beginning to the end. Even Yi Baitang, Shang Huaiyan, and Shang Huaiyan held hands in broad daylight, which was immoral, and he was able to start ignoring Dafa and pretending that he hadn't seen it.

The little fat man's face was halfway through the makeup, and now he sat back on the chair again, expressing emotion and envy: "Master Dong is really amazing, he can actually let national leaders present awards. I always feel that in the past there were only scientific and technological jobs The winner can get such an honor, and there is also the 'Special Contribution Award', the name of this award is really special, so strange that I have never heard of it before—”

Jiang Xue rolled her eyes and put on makeup by herself in the mirror.

Yi Baitang emptied his mind out of boredom, and continued to think about what was wrong with his cooking.

Only Brother Jiang looked at the little fat man with a smile, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and the more he liked it, the more he looked at it, and he almost touched the little fat man's chubby cheeks gently.

At this time, the little fat man also read something wrong from everyone's reaction.

"Wait, what kind of expression do you guys have, don't tell me..."

"The name of this award is indeed quite special." Senior Brother Jiang paused intentionally, "Because it was voted by the State Council and the country specially set up an award for Master Dong. And after it was awarded this time, it is not intended to be used as an award." Regular awards."

"That, that—" The little fat man looked terrified.

"To award such an award again, I think at least there needs to be a chef who can use one dish to promote the signing of a national treaty." Brother Jiang smiled and lowered his voice very low, trying to look as reserved as possible Low-key, but his face has already turned into a blooming flower with a smile~ "So how are we going to fight He and King Chef later?!" The little fat man wailed.

"It's too early to think about it now." Jiang Xue finally said, "Don't we have to fight one more time, and the final winner is eligible to face the King Chef?"

After the words fell, the relaxed atmosphere instantly condensed, and suddenly sank down. The little fat man and Jiang Xue looked at each other, and they saw in each other's eyes that they were determined to win, and then they suddenly remembered that they were competitors with me and without him.

They looked at Yi Baitang who was sitting next to him, and saw that the other party was also expressionless. Sure enough, he was also thinking about how to do his best to win the game!

5 minute of silence.

Yi Baitang suddenly came back to his senses: "Why, is the game about to start?"

The other two said: "..." It's like punching the cotton with a punch, so annoying!

"There will be about 10 minutes to finish outside. After the end, rest for another 5 minutes, and your game will begin." At this time, Senior Brother Jiang finally restrained his heart floating in mid-air, and said to the few people present.

Then he looked at his watch, and gave Shang Huaiyan a suggestive glance.

Shang Huaiyan put it away when he saw it was good, stood up and smiled slightly: "Brother, let's go together, leave time and space for them, and let them make final preparations."

It sounds like I know you very well.

Brother Jiang walked out expressionlessly, and had to predict pessimistically: Now this person has followed Yi Baitang around in front of the master, and there is nothing wrong with him.Maybe in the future I will really get to know him very well... Anyway, he is not annoying!

The two left the player's lounge together, circled around the auditorium for a small half, and walked towards the back door of the venue.

Along the way, Shang Huaiyan was rather curious: "These three are the only ones participating in the play-offs this time? During the TV promotion before, I remember that the conditions for participating in the play-offs were quite loose. At least the winner of the competition will definitely be able to participate." .”

Brother Jiang was surprised: "Baitang didn't tell you about this?"

Shang Huaiyan: "This...will Baitang pay attention to this?"

Senior Brother Jiang thought about it: "I really don't know." He suddenly smiled, "Are you misestimating Master's status a bit? Don't listen to Bai Tang yelling like an old man, Master is in the world of chefs, but everyone doesn't say his name. That person—” He was quite meaningful, “It’s true that the conditions are there, but not everyone dares to come…”

When they arrived at the back door of the awards venue, Senior Brother Jiang pushed open the heavy wooden door, led Shang Huaiyan into the venue quietly from behind, and sat down at the vacant seat at the back.

Senior Brother Jiang continued: "For example, the winner of the Chef King Competition this time—"

"What are you talking about?" The person in front suddenly turned his head.

The two rows looked at each other.

The person in front glanced at Shang Huaiyan, feeling a little sour: good-looking, well-matched clothes, and aftershave...

Shang Huaiyan also looked at each other, and saw a face that often appeared in the TV programs that Yi Baitang watched recently: in his thirties, handsome, with a high added commercial value, the gold medal winner of this year's Chef King Challenge .

Well, it looks pretty much the same in person as it does on TV.

Looks good and can dress up too.

This is very rare for a chef, even Baitang, relying on his own foundation is good at messing around.

Shang Huaiyan evaluated calmly in his heart.

But...it's embarrassing to be heard in front of someone talking behind their back.

Shang Huaiyan looked at Senior Brother Jiang who was talking, and saw Senior Brother Jiang's old god was there: "Although you won the No. 1 competition, you dare not meet Master."

"Ugh--"

Hearing only a sigh, the gold medal winner smiled wryly and shook his head.

"That culinary skill is not something that all chefs can taste. The first place in the Chef King Competition is already quite good, and it is enough for my planning in the past few years. I don't need to try eggs against stones for the time being."

"The ways are different, so we don't conspire with each other." Brother Jiang said bluntly.

The prize winner smiled again, but this time he seemed a little careless. He just maintained basic respect and didn't answer.

After watching for a while, Shang Huaiyan had already come to his senses.

So this is ah……

Brother Jiang ignored the winners of the hegemony competition, and only spoke to Shang Huaiyan: "You have been eating the cooking of the younger brother, right? Although the cooking of the younger brother has not fully inherited the taste of the master, some concepts should have begun to take shape." There is a clue - they all have very strong exclusivity. Do you feel that after eating their dishes, for a long time, at least two or three days, you will feel that eating anything else is not the same taste?

"This is still for ordinary diners.

"For chefs, their reactions are stronger, and those with poorer psychological quality may lose their confidence in cooking after suddenly eating Master's cooking. Keep regressing, and even fail to reach the level that I originally had.

"So since master retired, apart from cooking for Baitang and himself, he has less time to use the knife."

Speaking of this, Brother Jiang was very emotional. For a top chef, having no diners and seldom using the knife is a very sad thing in itself.

"That person is certainly a miracle and phenomenon in the culinary world, but there are so many people in the world, even if that person cooks every day, how many people can cook? It is still necessary to maximize the dishes that all diners can eat Level, is it more meaningful?" The gold medal winner couldn't help talking again, and he asked Shang Huaiyan, "Recall the taste you taste every day-I'm right?"

Shang Huaiyan smiled: "That's right. But I haven't seen any intrinsic connection between your behavior and what you said, sir."

Gold medal winner: "..." He snorted softly, "If I can't develop my own career, how can I help the chef industry develop?"

Shang Huaiyan smiled without saying a word.It's okay for him to argue with the chefs, everyone is in business, so if you look at anyone, you don't know what's on their minds?

But people in the chef world are obviously not so easy to deceive.

Brother Jiang stared at the gold medal winner, and slowly said: "Qingwei. There is a way in the mountain of books, and diligence is the path; there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning, and hard work."

The gold medal winner didn't dare to look at Senior Brother Jiang, got up silently, and left the scene.

Shang Huaiyan saw the person leaving, and whispered to Brother Jiang: "Do you know him?"

Brother Jiang disapproved: "It's just a palm-sized place, no one knows who. But he—" he also sighed, "He is also a genius. Four years ago, I tried to introduce him to my mentor."

As soon as the voice fell, the host's excited voice suddenly sounded from the surrounding loudspeakers: "Now, let's start the first game of the Chef King playoffs—"
