[Sword III] Life skills take you to fly

The Famous Chef Club is held every eight years, and it is considered a major event in Yingzhou.

Numerous well-known restaurants, restaurants, and celebrity chef families are all proud to participate in this competition and get their rankings.And the gold content is extremely high. In the end, the winner and his faction will not only get the government's award, but also glory and fame. If the luck is even worse, they will even get the chance to hold a banquet for the palace.

The current head of the imperial dining room won the championship at the Yingzhou Famous Chefs Meeting and was appreciated. The road after development.

Yang Zhi also participated in a few famous chef clubs when Jixiangju was still prosperous. Although he never won the championship, his ranking was not low every time. Famous chefs will call out.

Xiang Zhiyuan opened his own restaurant called Cuihualou after knocking down Jixiangju and driving Yang Zhi away, which is more than enough than the best, and this person is still a bit talented, otherwise Yang Zhi would not have given up before Teach each other.Naturally, Xiang Zhiyuan, who was eager to establish his own brand, would not miss such a grand event.

After listening to Yang Zhi's introduction, Xinglou was also quite moved. Not to mention that Yang Zhigang helped Yueying, he didn't want to refuse; just to say that Xinglou just arrived in Yingzhou Mansion and wanted to resume his old business, but this big state capital is not like In Qingshi Town, you can let your family send posts. This is a place where high-ranking officials and nobles live, how can people who are not famous pay attention to you.

As long as you get first or second place in the famous chef meeting, you will naturally have a foothold.Because of emotion and reason, Xinglou wanted to try it.

And Yang Zhi also talked about his own success from the very beginning, this celebrity chef meeting is not something that ordinary people can join if they want to, and it needs to be given by the influence who has won the rankings in the past or people with high reputation in the world. Recommend, or participate in the audition of thousands of people in advance.

But for such a grand event, the audition closed for registration half a year ago, and now it is almost over, and the star building can only get a recommendation if it wants to participate.And the Yang family was still a little thin before. Although it is now in decline, the qualifications for recommendation have not expired.Yang Zhi's request is that he can give recommendations, but Xinglou has to use the name of Jixiangju to participate in the competition, regardless of the result, Xinglou does not need to stay after the competition.

Xinglou naturally agreed.

This year's competition venue was opened in Furong Building.The Furong Building is surrounded by mountains and rivers, grand and spacious, it was the leader of the last session, and it won the honor of hosting this time.

Yang Zhi took out the token of the Famous Chefs Association to Xinglou, and those who got the recommendation only had to hand over the token to Furonglou before the official start of the Famous Chefs Association.Xinglou thought it would be sooner rather than later, so he went to Furonglou to register information.

Although Jixiangju has been defeated for a long time, tokens are an ironclad rule, and Furonglou did not intend to embarrass it, and completed the formalities neatly, notifying Starlou that the topic of the first session will be set ten days before the start of the meeting, so that people Go back and get ready.

Yang Zhi was not idle either. After staying in Yingzhou Mansion for so many years, he knew some channels to obtain information. He got the most capable opponents in the competition so far, and introduced them to Xinglou one by one.

Needless to say, Xiang Zhiyuan did not know if he had gone through the channel that his father-in-law, the magistrate, was now engaged in, and got the recommendation from the government.Based on Yang Zhi's understanding of his level a few years ago, there is no problem in passing the first round, but he doesn't know how much he has improved during this period of time.

The most threatening contestant is Chen Zixin from the famous chef family in Jiangzhou, Chen Zixin. Although he is worthy of the crown, he has long been famous in Jiangzhou.The Chen family is also a family of imperial cuisine for many years, and there are several secret recipes left by their ancestors.Chen Zixin has participated in a lot of competitions, big and small, in order to gain fame over the years. It is said that this time the Yingzhou Famous Chefs Club will be the last stop, and it is bound to come to a perfect ending.

Yang Zhi is not very familiar with them, but thinking that there are no worthless people under the prestige, the Chen family also needs skills, ability and connections, and they are worthy of rivals.

There is also Wan Xin from Wanbaolou in Yongzhou, who is also a veteran chef who has participated many times. Although he has not won the championship, he is always in the top five.Yang Zhi has dealt with it before, and he has a good opinion of him, and he creates new dishes every year, so his influence cannot be underestimated.

In addition, Fengzhou Wang Ling, Baiweiju Zeng Yi, Jinxiufang Zhou Weiyi... listed the forces or families behind them one by one, and in detail the special dishes they had made before.

Furonglou won the championship last time. If it is not able to produce an undisputed work that amazes others a hundred times this time, then the possibility of re-electing is very small.Presumably they are also aware of the rules here, this time they sent a newcomer who is not well-known, and it is also an eye-opener for people to cultivate in the future.

Yang Zhi has tasted the craftsmanship of Xinglou, although he doesn't know where he learned this ability at such a young age, but he is very confident in it.Some chefs who have never dealt with Yang Zhi don't know the depth of it, so they can't guarantee it with others. They only need to teach Xinglou to practice more to be foolproof.

Yang Zhi is not too demanding, after all, his best grade is only third.As long as he can overwhelm Xiang Zhiyuan this time and let Jixiangju defeat his Cuihualou.In addition, seeing Lie Xinxi, although Xinglou already has abilities that are no less than his own, but he is young and cute, Yang Zhi also wants to teach him.After all, there are specialties in the art of cooking. Some people are good at making soups, some are good at making dim sum, some are good at knives, and some are good at controlling the heat.No matter how delicious a person is, there is always something he is not good at.

Ten days before the conference, someone sent us the title of the first competition: fish.

As soon as the news came out, the price of fish in the entire Yingzhou Prefecture soared, and some of the more precious species were even sold at sky-high prices.Xinglou also encountered the biggest problem. After looking through the recipes, there was not a single dish related to fish.

Looking at the rare species fished by various gangs in the package, it is useless to have materials without craftsmanship.

Xinglou had figured out some things a long time ago, only relying on game skills is after all an external force, and only by mastering it himself can he calmly deal with various situations.I wanted to learn before, but in a small town, I didn't have the qualifications and couldn't find suitable candidates. Now I have the qualifications and ready-made candidates.

Xinglou confessed to Yang Zhi that he was not good at cooking fish, and asked him humbly for advice, but Yang Zhi had a higher opinion of him.He obviously has good skills, but when he encounters something he is not good at, he can still blow himself up and ask for advice with an open mind. His character is invaluable.

So I started to teach fish selection from scratch, and I don't know if Xinglou has full cooking skills because of the skills he carries, or he has this kind of talent himself, so he learned it with ease, and soon he looked like a decent person.Yang Zhi thought that Xinglou had a foundation, but he was not very familiar with this sub-category. It was like a proficient picking up a skill that hadn't been practiced for many years. Naturally, he learned it quickly.

"Ah Yuan, what happened to make you so happy?" Xinglou was handling the ingredients, looking at Jing Yuan's slightly raised mouth corners, quite strange.This detail was only discovered after getting along for a long time. After Jing Yuan came out of the prison, he was not used to showing obvious expressions on his face. Only those close to him could understand his one or two emotions.

"It's still a matter of the Celebrity Chef Club. Someone from Mount Tai spent a lot of money to transport the red scale fish, and it is being auctioned at the pier, which has attracted several companies to fight for it."

"Taishan red scale fish is tender, fragrant but not greasy, fresh but not fishy, ​​nourishing and brightening. It is the top grade of mountain stream fish. Now the theme of the first level of the celebrity chefs meeting is fish. Those contestants naturally want to qualify It is hard work to find good ingredients." Yang Zhi recalled his impression of Taishan Red Scale Fish, after all, the time is special, these days to qualify for the first level of the Star Tower is also a lot of knowledge about fish.At first, he wanted to find a way to find a good variety to give Xinglou more confidence, but Xinglou told him not to worry, he still had his hole cards.

"The main reason is that I didn't grab it like this, and finally bought a hundred taels of silver for a catty." It is possible that the dishes made would not sell for a hundred taels of silver in places that are not luxury comparisons. The price of this raw material is considered inflated. The person who robbed was also red-eyed. "The boss is very proud. He didn't want the popularity that he didn't capture to find people and make trouble. The stall was overturned, and the fish fell into the river. All the hundreds of people watching on the bank jumped into the water to touch the fish." This scene is quite strange. , Hundreds of people jumped into the river.

"So did you find it in the end?"

"The person who touched it didn't intend to return it, so he didn't know what kind of connections the buyer had, and finally sent out the yamen servants to snatch it back."

Xinglou thought that fortunately he had something practical in his backpack, otherwise he might have to spend a lot of time thinking about the ingredients at this time.

The day soon came to the start date of the competition, and a small person like Xinglou who had just arrived in Yingzhou Mansion naturally did not attract the attention of others.Xiang Zhiyuan only saw that the Xinglou had the name of Jixiangju, and sent someone to pay a little attention.Knowing that he was only an eleven or twelve-year-old child with a yellow mouth, and that he hadn't looked for ingredients at all during this period of time, he quickly put it to the back of his mind.
