Dare to cook

Chapter 281 "Competing the Kitchen to Recruit Marriage"

June 13, sunny.

This was Yao Yu's third day as a guest at Bi's house, and it was also the busiest day.

Early in the morning, Bi Zetao asked people to arrange the venue, prepare ingredients, and build a temporary stove.

Yao Yu, Qin Ming, and Xu Yunle had nothing to do, so they stood aside and watched them prepare the venue for the competition.

Xu Yunle looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly said: "Brother Yu, do you think this battle looks like a competition between chefs to recruit relatives?"

"By cooking to recruit relatives?"

"Yes." Xu Yunle said:

"Look, in order to find a good chef for Bi Dong, Mr. Bi did not hesitate to give his whole life's hard work in cooking as a reward."

"And these chefs who participated in the competition are like those people in the novel who go to the ring to snatch their wives."

"When one of them stands out, wins, and gets the hard work of Mr. Bi, it means that the people from the rivers and lakes have won the ring and married a wife."

"Well, it makes sense." Yao Yu stroked his chin and thought for a while, "According to your theory, Mr. Bi's recipes = little daughter-in-law. Then what is Bi Dong?"

Xu Yunle was startled, and then tentatively asked: "Maybe, Bi Dong is the red hijab that covers the little daughter-in-law's head?"

puff! ! !
As soon as these words came out, Qin Ming, Chen Dongxue, and Yuan Dewei burst out laughing.

Yao Yu was also shocked, and looked at Xu Yunle with an expression of "you are a fucking genius": "Do you know that you are likely to be beaten for saying this?"

Xu Yunle scratched his head, with a simple and honest look of "I'm very innocent and not black-bellied": "Brother Yu, you won't betray me, right?"

Yao Yu was speechless for a moment.

He was suddenly a little confused, and couldn't understand why the chefs who mixed with him were always so silly.

Four years ago, when he brought Chu Huangyou and Ding Zhenhui to compete in the Orphan Competition, those two guys always spoke amazingly.

Later Yang Rui and Chen Li were also full of sand sculptures.

Now, looking at Xu Yunle, it is obvious that he is also a guy who likes to cause trouble and refuses to settle down and be honest.

Could it be, sir, do I have the legendary "sand-absorbing physique".

……

Gossip less.

By 08:30, all the chefs who were willing to accept Bi Dong as an apprentice, or who wanted to obtain Bi Zetao's recipes, had arrived.

The two cookbook hunters and the remaining six are all well-known western food chefs in China.

Five of them have been on the Jade Food List, and all of them rank relatively high.

However, Yao Yu didn't remember any of them.

Anyway, since his debut, he has never dealt with these people.

The area of ​​Bi's house is limited, and there is no room for eight stoves.So the competition venue is actually placed on the grain drying field near Bi's house.

This sun-drying field is a place where nearby villagers use to dry rice after harvesting crops.

The area is about the size of two playgrounds.

The Bi family now only occupies part of it.

However, because the news that there will be a cooking showdown here was spread, there were not a few villagers who came to watch the excitement after hearing the news.

When the competition officially started, apart from those congratulatory guests who came to Bi's family to pay their respects, the surrounding area was also surrounded by villagers with three floors inside and three floors outside.

The total time of this competition was one and a half hours. The topic of the competition was specified by Bi Zetao, and he was required to cook three dishes, namely seafood risotto, pan-fried steak and baked potatoes with cheese.

As for the judges for this competition, Geng Mo, the head of the Anhui Provincial Cooking Association, Song Yuan, the head of the Chizhou Cooking Association, and Chen Sanshui, an internationally renowned food critic.

Among the three judges, Chen Sanshui is a notary hired by cookbook hunters Matthew and Raz who spend a lot of money.

In addition to Chen Sanshui, the two also invited some other notaries and media reporters to supervise the scene.

After the start of the competition, the eight western food chefs were busy.

Yao Yu and the others had already occupied a place suitable for watching the battle, and sat in the temporary stands to watch the battle.

Seeing several chefs processing all kinds of ingredients quickly, Yuan Dewei asked: "Yao Yu, in your opinion, who is more likely to win this competition?"

Yao Yu had already used [cooking scouting] to observe the culinary skills of these people.

He knew that among these people, Matthew had the highest level of cooking skills, and he already had lv8 (37869) points of cooking experience.

With this level of culinary skills, even Ji Xun, who is fifth on the jade food list, may not be able to win.

It seems that cookbook hunters dare to come to China to act wildly, there are still two brushes.

Yao Yu knew in his heart that most of the six western food chefs had no chance of winning.

But he didn't say it directly, but said: "The competition has just begun, and it is unknown who will win."

An hour and a half passed quickly.

The three questions given by Bi Zetao were not difficult, but more focused on the basic skills of the school's western food.

In the duel between famous chefs, the more they compete for seemingly simple dishes, the more they can show the chef's own strength.

After the eight chefs finished the dishes, the area around the grain drying field was already full of fragrance.

Many spectators who came to watch couldn't help swallowing wildly when they smelled the aroma and looked at the freshly cooked food.

Soon, the dishes of the eight chefs were served on the judging table in turn.

Although Bi Zetao is the author of this competition, not the judge, but the final result must always be approved by him.

Therefore, these chefs also prepared another one for him.

After careful tasting by the judges, both Geng Mo and Song Yuan believed that among the eight, Matthew's dishes were of the highest level, followed by a western food chef named Li Qian.

This result did not exceed Yao Yu's expectations.

When the white man Matthew heard that he had won, he immediately made a victory gesture, and then ran to Bi Zetao and said, "Hi, I won. Can you fulfill your promise and give me the recipe?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately showed displeasure.

Bi Zetao himself didn't look too good-looking.

Taking advantage of his birthday, he asked his disciples and grandsons to help with the arrangement, in order to find a good master for Bi Dong.

But the result now is that the few chefs he was optimistic about all lost to the cookbook hunter.

Although the cookbook hunter Matthew is good at cooking, he is obviously not a good chef.

There are not many other things, but just listening to his words, it can be seen that Matthew doesn't take their Bi family seriously at all, and lacks the most basic respect.

He was so contemptuous in front of so many people.

Once he really gave him the recipe, how could Matthew teach Bi Dong with his heart?

Bi Zetao is not stupid, so naturally he won't take the cookbook hunter for nothing.

He said lightly: "I'm really sorry, I don't think you are qualified to be my grandson...'s master."

When Mr. Bi said this, he paused deliberately, which attracted a lot of knowing laughter.

Matthew didn't care so much, when he heard that Bi Zetao was going to repent, he immediately stepped forward and said excitedly: "You want to be lazy!"

Just as Matthew took two steps forward, Bi Qingshan, who was by Bi Zetao's side, also stopped in front of him vigilantly.

Bi Zetao's two apprentices rushed over and shouted: "What do you want to do? Do you still want to hit someone? Show respect to my master!"

Matthew was drunk by those two people, and realized that he was a little impulsive.

However, he still said forcefully:

"According to the agreement, if I win over the others, I will take Bi Dong as a student and teach him how to cook Western food."

"And I also hope that you can fulfill your promise and give me the recipe."

Bi Zetao shook his head and said slowly:
"You haven't won everyone. I didn't say that whoever wins this duel will definitely get the recipe. Here, I think someone is more suitable to be Bi Dong's master than you."

"Who is it?" Matthew asked subconsciously.

Bi Zetao didn't speak, but turned his head slowly, looking in the direction of Yao Yu.
