Chef system

call!
When Shu Qiming heard the score, he breathed a sigh of relief.

A score of 99 is a watershed for a chef. If he can achieve a score of 99, it means that his culinary skills have reached the top level in the country, and he belongs to the top group of people in the food pyramid.

"Hmph, Yang Chen, although you are of a certain level, how can you compare to my roast pork?" Shu Qimin said with a sneer.

The chief judge continued to announce that the scores of the remaining two chefs were 94.7 and 93.9, which were not much different from the scores of the last eight in the previous round.

Zhan Wangfeng looked at the people below, coughed lightly, and continued, "First, I am announcing the ratings of the food made by the chef of the only Michelin three-star restaurant in the country."

"The first is the grilled sea bass from Chef Qi Chuanyi of Wanbang Hotel, with a score of 98.5."

It's even higher than Xue Hua's big plate chicken!Many people couldn't help but put their eyes on Xue Hua, only to see that the latter looked indifferent, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

"Secondly, Chef Wu Bin of Qinghe Hotel took off his gown Zilong, with a score of 93.5."

"Sure enough..." Wu Bin sighed, with a dejected expression on his face.

"Then there is Guo Shihao's mapo tofu from Chu Wei Xian Restaurant, with a score of 94.8."

call!
Hearing this score, Guo Shihao was visibly relieved, and a gleam of joy appeared on his face.

"Finally, it's Yang Chen, the head chef of Chenguang Hotel in Binhai City..." Wang Wangfeng showed a smile on his face, and said loudly: "Many of you have tasted the egg fried rice made by Yang Chen, and you should know that this bowl of egg fried rice is really delicious. the essence of it.”

"After unanimous discussion between me and the other judges, we decided to give Yang Chen a score of 99.5 for this bowl of egg fried rice."

"what?!"

Shu Qiming exclaimed and stood up from his seat in disbelief.

Yang Chen actually really defeated his roast pork. The contemporary heir of the Shu family, a dignified gourmet family, was stuck outside the door without even entering the top four.

"impossible!"

Shu Qiming blushed and roared loudly.

"Are you questioning our professionalism?" Wang Zhanfeng asked coldly while holding the microphone.

Shu Qiming said to himself: "Yang Chen only made a bowl of egg fried rice, how could the score be so high, I don't believe it!"

Seeing that there seemed to be signs of conflict between the two parties, the host smiled and smoothed things over and said: "It seems that Shu Qiming has objections to the decision on this score. But since Yang Chen's score is higher than his, there is naturally a reason, please tell the judges. Say it, so that Shu Qiming can be convinced and prove the fairness of this match."

"Not bad!" Shu Qiming said loudly, "Since Yang Chen's score is higher than mine, then in what aspect is he better than me? If you don't tell me this, I won't be convinced."

"Since you want to know the reason, then I will tell you."

Zhan Wangfeng said softly: "First of all, let me ask you a question. What do you think is the most fundamental responsibility of a chef?"

"Of course it's to make delicious food!" Shu Qiming replied without hesitation.

Zhan Wangfeng nodded slightly, and asked again: "Is there any more?"

"What else?" Shu Qiming was puzzled.

Zhan Wangfeng shook his head slightly, sighed, and said, "It seems that your old man still has some problems with teaching?"

Shu Qimin's face suddenly showed anger, and he asked bluntly: "Then according to you, being a chef doesn't make delicious food, what else?"

Zhan Wangfeng said softly: "Of course a chef's duty includes making delicious food. But do you think it's enough for a chef to cook delicious food?"

"What else?" Shu Qiming had a sneer on his face, he wanted to see what Zhang Wangfeng could say.

"For a chef, making gourmet food is only the most basic thing to do." Zhan Wangfeng said in a deep voice, "However, as a chef, the ultimate goal is not the food, but the people!"

"Whether a food is good or not is ultimately judged by people. Food that makes people satisfied must be delicious food; food that makes people disgusted or even unpalatable must be unpalatable food."

Zhan Feng paused, and continued: "Maybe you think the food you cook is delicious, but it's not the same thing when other people taste it."

Shu Qiming sneered, and replied: "You mean, my roast pork is not tasty?"

"of course not."

Zhan Wangfeng said: "From the perspective of a chief judge, in terms of food taste, your roast pork is indeed better than Yang Chen's fried rice with eggs."

"Then it's over?" Shu Qiming said impatiently, "Since my taste is better than Yang Chen's egg fried rice, why is my score lower than his? Did you make a mistake?"

Zhan Wangfeng sighed, and continued: "But from the perspective of a diner, your roast pork is far worse than Yang Chen's fried rice with eggs!"

Without waiting for Shu Qiming to speak, Wang Zhanfeng continued: "Your roast pork can only give people a sense of enjoyment, but Yang Chen's fried rice with eggs has already risen to the spiritual level. No matter how delicious your roast pork is, , and it can’t remind us of the egg fried rice that our mother made that night when we were young!”

Hearing Wang Zhanfeng's words, Shu Qiming's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he shouted loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Chef competition, doesn't anyone who cooks delicious food gets a higher score? Are you a Food critic?"

Hearing Shu Qiming's words, Wang Zhanfeng's face trembled with anger. He suppressed his anger and said, "There are two levels of cooking skills. The first level is the level of the food itself, that is, whether the food tastes good or not. ; and another level is the spiritual level, whether a delicacy can resonate with people, can it give people a good feeling. "

His voice suddenly became severe, "And you, Shu Qiming, are only at the first level. With your cooking skills, you haven't even touched a certain quality that a real chef should have. I advise you You'd better go home and study with your old man for a few more years!"

Zhan Wangfeng didn't say anything after that, but someone with a little intelligence could tell that he was telling Shu Qiming not to embarrass himself here again.Thinking of this, Shu Qiming's eyes suddenly took on a bit of playfulness.

The latter's face was flushed with anger, he snorted coldly, and left the venue angrily with a red face.Before leaving, he did not forget to stare at Yang Chen viciously, that gaze wished he could eat Yang Chen.

boom!
Shu Qiming didn't pay attention, stepped on the ground, and fell directly to the ground.

"Master Shu, are you alright?" someone said.

"Get out of here!"

Shu Qiming stood up, his forehead was broken, dripping with blood, and with his hideous expression, he looked like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.

"Haha, this guy fell down even when he was walking, it's a good thing he's a chef!"

"That's right, even if you only have such a small level, you still come up to participate in this competition, and you won't be afraid to laugh your ass off!"

……

Shu Qiming's eyes were red, and he scanned the field, only to see that everyone was whispering to each other, looking at him with unconcealable sarcasm and disdain.

"Get out, get out of here!"

Shu Qiming cursed in a low voice, and walked out of the arena with a stern face.

"What's wrong with this guy? Isn't it just that he lost the game, is it necessary?"

"Young people nowadays are really poor in mental quality. Isn't it just losing a game? Go home and practice cooking hard, and then win it back."

"I heard that he is the contemporary descendant of the Shu family, a family of gourmets. I really don't know how Mr. Shu educated him with this virtue."

……

Everyone talked a lot, but this was just a small episode during the game, and soon no one noticed this little thing, and refocused on the game itself.

The host said: "Now that the qualification challenge is over, the next ones who are qualified to enter the semi-finals are the following players. Xue Hua, Qi Chuanyi, Yang Chen, Zheng Huanghe, Song Wei, Xiao Junliang, Liu Haobo, Guo Shihao."

"All contestants, please arrive at the venue on time tomorrow. If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will be disqualified."

After speaking, the host announced the end of today's game.

"To be qualified to participate in the semi-finals, the cooking skills are pretty good!"

Zhou Yuan closed the opened webpage, put his hands on his chin, and showed a sneer on his face.

Originally, he had no interest in this kind of food competition.But because Yang Chen was inside, he deliberately spent half a day in the morning looking at it.

"But no matter how good it is, you will definitely not win the championship in this competition."

Zhou Yuan secretly thought that at this moment, there was a knock on the door, "Mr. Zhou, are you inside? I have collected all the information you want me to collect."

"come in."

Zhou Yuan said softly, and soon a girl in professional attire wearing a suit and short skirt walked in, and she put a stack of documents in front of Zhou Yuan, "Boss Zhou, here are the documents you want."

Zhou Yuan took the information and looked at it, and said in a low voice without raising his head: "Okay, I understand. You go out first!"

"Zhan Wangfeng, 57 years old, is the current president of the National Food Association. He is not only a superb chef, but also a top food critic with a reputation at home and abroad. He is the king of H country's food industry."

"I have an only son, Zhang Ping, who is engaged in the electronics industry business in the imperial capital. However, half a year ago, the electronics factory almost went bankrupt due to insufficient liquidity. Later, I did not know where to get a sum of money to save his company from crisis. .”

"After investigation, it was found that while Zhan Ping's business was improving, the Gastronomy Association had greatly reduced the number of activities. It was suspected that there was a gap in funds. After analysis, it can be considered that Zhan Ping took part of the funds from the Gourmet Association to fund the company. Development. Now it is uncertain whether this matter has something to do with Wang Zhanfeng himself, and further investigation is underway."

……

Shu Qiming turned the information to the second page, it was Liu Jiefei.

"Liu Jiefei, 53 years old, was a member of the National Gastronomy Association. He once won the championship of the National Gourmet Competition and represented country H in the World Chef Competition, but lost in the top 500. I am addicted to the stock market. During the economic crisis two years ago He lost all his property and owed a huge foreign debt, which is conservatively estimated to be [-] million yuan."

"There is an apprentice, Xue Hua, who has excellent cooking skills. He is a popular candidate to win this year's National Food Competition. Liu Jiefei seems to intend to let Xue Hua win the championship and use the bonus to pay off part of the debt."

……

Shu Qiming went through the documents of the nine chief judges page by page. Except for a few, most of the chief judges had more or less stains on their bodies.

He slapped the information on the table heavily, and said in a cold voice: "Yang Chen, let's see how you won the championship this time?"
