One Piece of Food

Chapter 36 The Vice Mayor's Invitation
At 9:15 on the afternoon of September 17th, the awarding ceremony of the 00rd Zunyi City Famous Snack Selection Contest officially began. A beautiful host from the municipal TV station first congratulated the success of the competition, and then officially presented the awards.

There were 10 excellence awards on the stage to accept the awards first, and Jinjia Fried Tofu Ball from Mae Tan County won an excellence award.

This is an old Mae Tan snack. The history of operating fried tofu balls can be traced back to the period of the Republic of China, and it is very famous in Mae Tan.

His fried tofu balls are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and crispy, and wrapped with chili peppers, one bite at a time, super delicious.Before Rao became famous, it was this Jinjia Fried Tofu Ball that won the city-level famous snack award for Mae Tan County.

Except for Jinjia Tofu Pills, 9 of the other 5 places were occupied by the urban area, and only 4 places were allocated to other counties.

Next came the third prize and the second prize. In addition to the two third prizes falling to the counties below, the other three third prizes and two second prizes were also divided among the urban areas.

It is indeed the economic center of the Zunyi area, and the delicious food is concentrated in the urban area.

In addition to the certificate, the third prize and the second prize also received a bonus of 2000 yuan and 5000 yuan respectively, which also proves that the municipal government attaches great importance to this matter.

Finally, when the host announced that the winner of the first prize was "Rao Mingyang Crispy Meat and Mung Bean Noodles" from Mae Tan County, the audience immediately exploded.

Except for the judges, the only people who tasted Rao Mingyang mung bean noodles were some contestants in the same classroom as him. Not everyone knew how delicious Rao Mingyang crispy mung bean noodles tasted.

They thought that this year's first prize must come from a delicacy in the urban area, but they didn't expect it to be a kind of mung bean powder that they had never heard of in the county below.

"Is there a mistake? The first prize is not from the urban area?"

"Yeah, is this Rao's famous crispy meat mung bean powder so delicious? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"You haven't heard of it, but it doesn't mean it's not delicious. I ate it in the morning. The first prize is well-deserved."

"real or fake?"

"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you will know if you have time to go to Mae Tan to try it."

"Anyway, the first prize is finally not taken by the urban area."

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, Rao Mingyang walked up to the podium with a microphone in hand, and shook hands with the host.

"Hello, Rao Mingyang."

"Hello host."

"I have presided over three sessions. This is the first time that a snack from the county below has won the first prize. How do you feel?"

"I'm a little excited, a little excited, thank the municipal government for providing this platform, and thank the judges for their recognition!"

"I've never heard of your snack before. When did you start making this crispy mung bean powder?"

"It's been just over a month since it started."

As soon as this sentence was uttered, there was an uproar from below, and the host was also taken aback: "How did you research such delicious crispy mung bean noodles in such a short time?"

"Actually, I have been running a breakfast shop for a long time. It's just that I used to be the same as everyone else. I sold ordinary crispy meat, soy milk and mung bean powder, which is nothing special. Recently, I have found a unique way, using the best ingredients with the best broth, researching This crispy mung bean powder was produced. Fortunately, it was a fluke and the customers were not disappointed!"

"It seems that the appearance of a delicacy also depends on luck."

"good."

"Okay, I wish you a prosperous business. I will come to Mae Tan to try your crispy mung bean noodles when I have a chance."

"Okay, let's have a drink!"

Finally, the host asked the deputy mayor Rao Dejun to come on stage to present the award to Rao Mingyang.

Rao Dejun handed the certificate of the first prize and the envelope containing the 1 yuan bonus to Rao Mingyang with a smile on his face. Rao Mingyang was about to thank him when Rao Dejun suddenly said in a low voice: "Rao Mingyang, don't hurry back later, I have something to do with you."

Rao Mingyang was confused, and the two didn't know each other, so they didn't know what Rao Dejun wanted him for.But the deputy mayor wanted to find him, how could he refuse, he could only nod in agreement.

Finally, the host let the previous award-winning contestants take the stage, and after taking a group photo with the deputy mayor and other award-presenting guests, the third Zunyi City Famous Snack Competition was over.

Then, a reporter from the municipal TV station came up to interview Rao Mingyang for a few minutes, and many other contestants and judges also came up to chat and asked about the address of Rao Mingyang's shop.

It seems that everyone wants to go to Mae Tam to taste this first prize-winning delicacy when they have the opportunity.

After everyone finished chatting, Rao Mingyang immediately called his parents to announce the good news and told them that he had won the first prize.

Rao Dexin and Tian Wenying were naturally overjoyed, and asked him to go home quickly, and Tian Wenying cooked a big meal to celebrate.If there is no shuttle bus, it doesn't matter to pack a small car back to Mae Tan.

But when the deputy mayor invited him, Rao Mingyang naturally couldn't go home right away, so he could only tell his parents that he still had something to do and would come back later, and let them eat first and leave him alone.

After hanging up his parents' phone, Rao Mingyang received a call from Tian Laosan.

"Famous, what's the result? Did you win the award?" Tian Laosan asked on the phone.

Rao Mingyang said happily: "I won the award, the first prize!"

"Wow, it's really the first prize! It's great!" Tian Laosan said happily.

"That's right! I have obtained the qualification to participate in the provincial famous snack certification, and I think it will be no problem to win the prize in the province." Rao Mingyang said.

"Hmm! Is the award ceremony over? I happen to be in Zunyi. I'll come pick you up and go back to Mae Tan together."

"The deputy mayor who presented me the award just now said that he wanted to talk to me about something. I don't know what it is, and I don't know when I can go back!" Rao Mingyang hesitated.

"The deputy mayor wants to talk to you? You are about to get rich. I haven't even seen the deputy county magistrate!"

"The problem is that I don't know what's going on, whether it's good or bad!"

"You haven't done anything illegal, it must be a good thing! Never mind, we won't talk all night, I'll come here first!"

"Ok!"

After Rao Mingyang hung up Tian Laosan's phone call, a secretary-like person came over and said to Rao Mingyang, "Rao Mingyang, the deputy mayor is waiting for you. If there is nothing wrong, please follow me to see the deputy mayor first!"

Rao Mingyang handed the certificate to Han Qin, gave her Tian Laosan's phone number, and told her to meet Tian Laosan first, and then call him after he finished meeting the deputy mayor, and everyone went back to Mae Tan together.

Full of doubts, Rao Mingyang followed the secretary to the director's office of the chef training center, where several officials were speaking with the deputy mayor Rao Dejun.

Seeing Rao Mingyang coming in, knowing that Rao Dejun had something to say to the first prize winner, several officials immediately resigned, and the secretary also left the office and closed the door behind him.

"Mayor Rao, hello!" Rao Mingyang greeted cautiously.

"Sit down!" Rao Dejun pointed to the sofa and said.

　Thanks to "asassaad" for tipping 10 starting coins on October 7th, thank you! ——Mingqiao/100
