Dare to cook

Chapter 16 Division of Competition Areas
The night is getting darker.

A certain titanium alloy straight man dropped by to see Liu Yiran back to his residence, then returned home to take a shower and sleep.

Silent all night.

The next day Yao Yu arrived at the Renhe Pavilion early as usual.

It's just that the atmosphere today is a little different from the previous few days, and the cooks in the back kitchen are all a little absent-minded.

Because, tomorrow is the day of the celebrity chef selection competition.

Celebrity Chef Selection Competition, referred to as the Famous Selection Competition.

After half a month of information bombardment by various media, the popularity of this year's famous competition has been heated to an extremely hot level.

All major portals and social apps will reserve enough space to track and report the progress of the contest at any time.

As a gathering place for chef networks, Wanghailou has also added hundreds of thousands of active users in recent days.

Last night, the organizer also announced the specific schedule of the famous contest.

First of all, the country has been divided into nine competition areas.

They are:
Spring City Division, Beijing Division, Shangdu Division, Shencheng Division, Hongcheng Division, Yangcheng Division, Guiyun Division, Rongcheng Division and Chang'an Division.

Among them, the competition in the three competition areas of Beijing, Shencheng and Yangcheng will be far more intense than other competition areas.

According to the regulations of the sponsor.

Each contestant will undergo three rounds of auditions, two rounds of individual knockouts, and one round of team knockouts.

Players who pass the test of the six rounds are eligible to enter the finals of the competition area to compete for the only [-] qualifying places in each competition area.

Those who get into the top [-] in the division will be considered to have tickets to the Masters Selection-National League.

After entering the national league, the contestants have to go through the third level of the group points competition, team confrontation competition, and team management competition.

Only those who pass all the tests will enter the finals of the top 64.

Therefore, the schedule of the entire famous contest is quite long.

It will take at least two months from the start of the audition to the final championship.

It is precisely because of this that the unprecedented scale of the celebrity contest can arouse heated discussion among the people.

"The total number of participants this year is 21.2, and the number of participants in the Shanghai competition area is nearly [-]."

"[-] contestants are competing for [-] qualifying places. Tsk tsk, this person has to use his brains like a dog, right?"

Yang Rui, the back cook of Renhe Guan, looked at the latest data released by the China Kitchen Association and smacked his tongue.

Yao Yu looked calm and said:
"These numbers just look huge, but they are actually very watery. After the three rounds of auditions, the 21 people will be at least 18."

"The number of chefs who are truly capable of making it to the finals of each competition area will not exceed 300 evenly divided into each competition area."

"It's not too easy for 300 people to compete for tickets to 50 national competitions."

Pastry chef Xu Yunle said with a smile:

"Brother Yu, you can't say that. You used to be the top of the jade food list, a master who can knock down a building with a single palm."

"For you, it is of course easy to enter the national competition."

The corners of Yao Yu's mouth curled up slightly:

"Stop flattering, I've taught you all the recipes for crab noodle spring rolls."

"If you don't do well today, you will be responsible for cleaning the back kitchen for a month in the future."

After getting along with each other for the past few days, Yao Yu and the staff of Renhe Pavilion are basically familiar with each other.

Everyone stopped calling him Master Yao politely, and either called him by his first name or Brother Yu.

……

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the back kitchen started cooking.

Today is Wednesday, and it is raining heavily, and there are not many customers.

When Yao Yu and others are busy until about one o'clock, they can take a break and have a staff meal.

At noon, after Yao Yu had eaten, Tang Ying, who had disappeared for several days, finally appeared again.

Following her back to the Renhe Pavilion, there were also two chefs in their 30s.

These two chefs are chefs that Tang Ying personally came to Yangcheng to dig over the past few days.

When Tang Ying entered the restaurant, she happened to see Yao Yu playing with her mobile phone, so she stepped forward and said, "Yao Yu, let me introduce you to two new colleagues."

Yao Yu looked up and saw the boss came back, so he got up immediately.

"This is Master Zhang Zhiyun, and this is Master Jiang Yuanjiang. They are all the chefs I invited from Yangcheng."

Tang Ying said, paused and said,

"You are going to participate in the trial tomorrow. When you are not in the restaurant, the two of them will take over your job."

"That's great." Yao Yu stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "I'm Yao Yu, I'm glad you two can come."

Zhang Zhiyun and Jiang Yuan reached out and shook hands with Yao Yu:
"You're welcome, Master Yao. Who doesn't know your name as Kuangzu Yu? It's our honor to work with you."

Everyone boasted to each other in business, Tang Ying said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, please stop being polite to each other."

"Yao Yu, can you cook two dishes for me? We just got off the plane and haven't eaten yet."

Yao Yu asked with a smile, "What would Mr. Tang want to eat?"

"Whatever, as long as it's made by you, it must be delicious."

Tang Ying said, and then said to Zhang Zhiyun and Jiang Yuan: "You two will follow me to the kitchen first, just in time to meet other colleagues."

Zhang and Jiang naturally had no objection.

The four of them entered the kitchen, and Tang Ying introduced them to Yang Rui, Chen Li and others.

Yao Yu went to the stove by himself and cooked some special dishes.

Regarding the arrival of Zhang Zhiyun and Jiang Yuan, everyone in the kitchen had a very subtle reaction.

Neither enthusiastic nor indifferent, everything is guided by Yao Yu's attitude.

Tang Ying saw this scene in her eyes, and knew that Yao Yu had conquered all the horses in the back kitchen in just a few days.

If Yao Yu really intends to exclude Zhang Zhiyun and Jiang Yuan, I am afraid that the life of these two people in the Renhe Pavilion will be very difficult in the future.

Thinking of this, Tang Ying felt both regretful and fortunate.

She felt that it was a pity that she knew that Yao Yu would not stay in the Renhe Pavilion for a long time.

Fortunately, if someone like Yao Yu with strong personality and ability really stayed, she would not be able to control him.

Unless... Make him completely his own?
Tang Ying was thinking erratically, she quietly glanced at Yao Shuaibi's side face, her ears were slightly red.

Yao Yu cooks very quickly.

It didn't take long to get four dishes and one soup, and let the waiter bring them into the small box.

In the small box, Tang Ying, Zhang Zhiyun, and Jiang Yuan had lunch, and Yao Yu, as the executive chef and head chef, sat and chatted with him.

After the meal was full, Tang Ying asked Zhang Zhiyun and Jiang Yuan to go to the prepared residence to rest.

She took a sip of tea and said to Yao Yu:

"You have worked hard these past few days! I heard from Yiran that the combined turnover of these few days can almost cover the past half a month."

Yao Yu smiled lightly and said:
"It's all the result of everyone's joint efforts. But Liu Yiran and Xu Yunle have worked really hard. I actually didn't do anything."

Tang Ying smiled and looked at Yao Yu with her smart eyes:

"You are as humble as a jade, but you are not at all like Yu's madman."

"Oh? Then what should Kuangzu Yu's style be like?"

Tang Ying teased, her bright eyes unblinking:
"Of course you have to be so arrogant. You have to show your arrogant, domineering, domineering arrogance anytime and anywhere. That's how you look like a madman Yu."

Yao Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"Are you sure that such a crazy person won't be fired by his boss?"

Tang Ying pursed her lips and smiled:
"Well, it depends on whether the boss is in a good mood or not."

If there is an old driver who can flirt,
After hearing this,

Most of them will immediately look at Tang Ying, and then ask softly: "Then how are you feeling now?"

However, Yao Yu didn't intend to go racing, nor did he intend to tease the beautiful boss in front of him.

So he said a little boringly:
"I can't guess what the boss is thinking. In order to keep my job, I think it's better for me to keep a low profile."

Seeing that Yao Yu didn't answer, Tang Ying also changed the subject:

"Are you going to compete tomorrow? Do you need to take half a day off in advance?"

Yao Yu shook his head:

"No need, it's just the audition."

"But Yang Rui and I have to go to the arena early tomorrow, and we can only hand over the restaurant to the two you just invited back."
