Dare to cook

Chapter 312 The Pavilion Kicker (Third)

afternoon.

Amalfi.

In the Chinese restaurant, Bruno served several cooked French dishes to the table.

Vegetable salad, French grilled sea fish, red wine cheese baked balls, creamy mushroom soup, and charcoal grilled oysters...

These are dishes that Bruno uses what is already in his kitchen.

"Let's go, try the dishes made by Wo." Bruno said with a mouthful of raw Chinese.

Yao Yu and the others were not polite, and put down their chopsticks one after another.

"Well, it's quite delicious." Feng Ziyi tasted the red wine cheese balls and praised.

"I didn't expect vegetable salad to be so delicious." Jiang Yuqi said after picking up some salad.

Yao Yu tasted the grilled fish first, then ate an oyster, and drank a few mouthfuls of soup. After a while, he smacked his lips and said, "It's really good. This creamy mushroom soup is better than Ji Xun's."

Bruno didn't know who Ji Xun was, but he also heard Yao Yu's praise.

He grinned and said, "Now you can always compete with me, right?"

"I'm afraid it still won't work." Yao Yu shrugged: "You have also seen the situation here. I am very busy and really don't have time to compete."

"If you want to compete with me, the process of the competition will be recorded in the program."

"It's okay, I don't care about leaving the country," Bruno said.

Yao Yu heard the words, so he had no choice but to say: "In this case, I suggest you discuss it with the director of our program group first."

"Who is the director of your program?" Bruno asked.

"It's him!" Several partners pointed at Wang Haiyuan who was eating at the same table without saying a word.

Wang Haiyuan is happily eating charcoal-grilled oysters.

Seeing that everyone pointed at him suddenly, he had no choice but to put down the tableware, and showed Bruno his eight neat teeth, and an awkward but polite smile: "Hello, I Wang Haiyuan, I am the director of the program group."

Bruno's desire to compete with Yao Yu was very strong.

And Wang Haiyuan also thought it would be a good point to let foreign chefs challenge Yao Yu in the show.

what?
Worried that Yao Yu will lose?

That was not something Wang Haiyuan would consider at all.

The reason why Crazy Yu became Crazy Yu was because he had never lost in a culinary showdown.

Taking a hundred thousand steps back, even if Yao Yu loses, the program group can cut this entire section later.

The Chinese restaurant program team will stay in Amalfi for a month, but in fact, the content that will be cut out for the audience will not exceed fifteen episodes.

In other words, more than half of the content recorded by the program group here will be discarded.

After a while of discussion, Wang Haiyuan and Bruno reached an agreement.

In the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, the program team will arrange a competition between Bruno and Yao Yu.

But before that, tomorrow, Bruno has to go through a "script content".

The specific script design is as follows:
Bruno, a member of the French national kitchen team, came to Amalfi for vacation, and accidentally discovered that his old classmate Lu Chenyu was recording a Chinese restaurant.

So Bruno came to join him. After tasting the dishes made by Yao Yu, he felt competitive and challenged Yao Yu.

Then, Yao Yu accepted the challenge.

The two parties agreed that if anyone loses, they must teach the other party two dishes that they are good at.

This script is completely adjusted based on facts.

It just moved the place where Bruno and Lu Chenyu met by chance from the old tavern last night to the Chinese restaurant.

After reaching a consensus with the program group, Bruno left contentedly.

Yao Yu and the others began to clean the restaurant again, clearing away the dishes.

With a dishwasher, the work of cleaning dishes in the back kitchen is greatly reduced at once.

However, dishwashers are not perfect.

Things like those big woks, casseroles, and bakeware can still only be cleaned by hand.

But in general, it still reduces a lot of workload.

……

After the lunch break, the business continues in the evening.

Tonight's business is still busy.

For the sake of everyone's health, the store manager Lu Chenyu decided to advance the business hours to 08:30 tonight.

After closing, Jiang Yuqi counted today's turnover and announced that everyone sold a total of 1674 euros today.

Feng Ziyi was a little surprised when he heard this number:

"Our business hours today are not as long as yesterday, and the turnover rate is not as high as yesterday. How come the turnover has not decreased but increased?"

"That's because the ingredients we used today are 10% more expensive than the ingredients we used yesterday." Yao Yu hardly thought about it, and immediately explained, "Correspondingly, our vegetable prices have also increased accordingly. So the business It sells more."

"So that's how it is." Feng Ziyi said with a smile, "Then we can go out for a while today."

"If you want to go shopping, you can go shopping. I have to go back to rest early." Jiang Yuqi said, rubbing her sore shoulders.

Meng Xiao also patted Feng Ziyi's shoulder and said:
"Young man, save some energy. Busy days like today are still long."

……

Back at the homestay, the partners can rest.

But before taking a real break, they still have to do some advertising in front of the camera.

Among the sponsors of Jihua Restaurant this year, there are merchants who sell makeup remover water and electric footbaths.

During the recording of the program, Lu Chenyu and Jiang Yuqi had to use the sponsor's makeup remover in front of the camera every few days.

As for Yao Yu, Feng Ziyi and other handsome men, they had to put on an expression similar to enjoying themselves, and using the footbath in front of the camera, just like those greasy and clingy men.

From this point of view, it seems that the bad money in the entertainment industry is not easy to pick up→_→.

Silent all night.

Waking up another day, the partners started a new day of "battle".

The business situation on the third day was no different from the previous two days.

Feng Ziyi and the others seem to have gradually gotten used to the life rhythm of "early wake up - grocery shopping - vegetable preparation - business - lunch break - vegetable preparation - business - off work".

After three consecutive days like this, Hua Restaurant finally ushered in some different plots.

Today is the day when Bruno and Yao Yu start a cooking showdown.

In order to make time for the culinary showdown, Hua Restaurant will not be open tonight.

In order to make the duel more formal, Bruno also invited the judges and referees of the European Kitchen Federation from Naples.

The European Kitchen Federation and the China Kitchen Association are chef organizations of the same nature, and they are also very authoritative and fair.

However, neither Yao Yu nor the program crew expected it.

Because of the arrival of the judges of the Federation of Kitchens, it caused a sensation in the local catering industry in Amalfi.

Owners and chefs from more than [-] restaurants and hotels came to watch the news.

The small Chinese restaurant was quickly overcrowded.

And the European people seem to have the nature of watching the excitement.

Seeing that there are more and more people gathering at Hua Restaurant, many people want to come over to find out.

The rapid gathering of the crowd alarmed the local security chief.

Wang Haiyuan looked at this almost out-of-control scene, but he was not surprised but delighted.

He quickly reached an agreement with the boss of the local catering industry and decided to move the test location to the largest hotel in the area.

In this way, the lively crowd can have a wider field to watch the game.

And the Chinese restaurant program group can also use this to attract more attention.

Even Wang Haiyuan has already thought about it.

Once Yao Yu wins, he will send back to China what happened in Amalfi today "with pictures and the truth", so that the people in the head office can take advantage of the situation to stir up a wave of enthusiasm for Hua Restaurant.

If it is done well, maybe this move can also provide some boost to the upcoming sixth season of Hua Restaurant.
