The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 446 Happy Restaurant Appetizer (36)

In the small town of Seleka, the sky in the afternoon is covered with clouds, and the sunlight that can pass through the clouds to reach the ground is slightly rare.

The weather was obviously warm, but there was an inexplicable chill.

On Angel Street where many merchants have long been closed, only the store of Happy Restaurant is open.

When Boss Lan and eight other members of the review team came to the door of Happy Restaurant, the former first raised his eyes to look at the sign hanging on the door of this inconspicuous little shop.

It is hard to imagine that such a shop that does not exist on Angel Street will become the only nail in his demolition and reconstruction plan.

But since it is a nail, it has to be pulled out if it gets in the way.

While Boss Lan was observing the Happiness Restaurant, other reviewers also checked the appearance of the store and the cleanliness of the store.

To be honest, compared with those big restaurants they once awarded stars, this store is indeed a bit unremarkable.

Whether it's the size of the store or the interior decoration, it's far behind those real high-end restaurants.

But when they came here, the main test was the skill of the chef here, and the quality of the store was not included in the requirements for the election.

For these professional gourmets from the Food Appreciation Association, it is a matter of caution to award the chef of any restaurant with a star honor.

To award a chef with the honor of being a five-star chef, one must inspect the chef to the highest standards.

According to the review standards of the Food Appreciation Association, they will consider the freshness and safety of a restaurant's ingredients, the seasoning level of the dishes, the cost-effectiveness of the food, the service quality of the store and the originality of the dishes.

The hardest part of this is originality.

Because these food judges have tasted countless delicacies, seen countless novel dishes and unique craftsmanship, so they want to see that there are chefs who can make that unique dish.

But it is not easy to innovate.

Just when Boss Lan and others came to the door of the store, Xingtian and Tian Xiaofu who were staying in the back kitchen saw people coming from outside.

"It should be the people from the food jury." Koda said.

"Then I'll go out to receive them first."

After Tian Xiaofu said this, he looked at Koda and the two nodded almost in unison.

At this moment, they saw a kind of unwavering faith in each other's eyes.

No matter what the results of the next assessment will be, they must go all out.

After Tian Xiaofu walked out of the back kitchen, Xing Tian checked all the prepared ingredients in the kitchen for the last time.

After confirming that there was no problem, he lowered his head and looked at Lu Lai who was lying back in his nest after eating the fish porridge.

"Lu Lai, no matter whether I can pass today's test or not, I am very grateful for your help all the time... In short, I will do my best to meet this test!"

Lin Shu raised her neck and glanced at him.

She wanted to say, "The assessment hasn't started yet, don't rush to thank me first," but what came out of her mouth was "meow."

Only then did Lin Shu remember that the voice converter on her neck should still be in Tian Xiaofu's pocket right now.

After hearing the cat's response, Koda clenched his fists more energetically.

"Lu Lai, don't worry, I won't let you down!"

He thought Lu Lai's yell just now was to encourage him to cheer up.

At this time, through the transparent glass window between the back kitchen and the front hall, Koda saw that Tian Xiaofu had introduced the judges and others into the store. After tidying up his chef uniform, he walked out with firm steps.

Before he starts cooking, he has to introduce himself to the food judges.

Lin Shu, who was still staying in the nest and pretending to be lazy, saw Xingtian walk out of the back kitchen to greet the people outside.

She immediately jumped out of the cat's nest, and went straight to Koda's apartment on the second floor.

Tian Xiaofu was wearing a different outfit this morning, which meant that her jacket with the voice converter in her pocket must have left it upstairs.

In order to prevent Koda from having any accidents during the subsequent cooking process, she had to find the voice converter and put it on.

In the front hall, Boss Lan, who had just sat down on a wicker chair, was looking directly at the kitchen.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a black shadow flashing in the corner of his eyes.

But when he looked forward, there was nothing in the back kitchen.

It just so happened that the chef of this restaurant, Koda, had already walked in front of everyone and started introducing himself, so he had to calm down and listen carefully to what Koda had to say.

"...Thanks to all the reviewers for not giving up, come to my happy restaurant.

I am the head chef of this restaurant, my name is Koda..."

After a few words, the judges probably had a preliminary understanding of the meticulous young man in chef uniform before them.

But for them, the chef is too young.

When Jacques and others submitted the application assessment report to their food appreciation club, the chief reviewer felt that such a young chef would not be able to cook five-star dishes.

Really unique dishes and supreme delicacies require repeated accumulation of time to achieve.

Of those top chefs who can become five-star chefs, which one didn't all run upwards at the age of five or sixty?
A young man in his thirties like Koda can only squeeze into the ranks of three-star chefs at best.

The judges had just met Koda, and they already had concerns in their minds.

Jacques, who was sitting behind the ten judges, felt quite good about Koda's energetic state.

But when his eyes moved to Boss Lan, who was sitting with the other nine judges, the worry in his heart only increased.He had long known that Koda's application for today's assessment was probably to keep his restaurant.

But this kind of behavior is undoubtedly confronting Boss Lan.

It's definitely not a coincidence that Mr. Lan will appear here today.

This person definitely came prepared.

The judges were looking at Koda, and Koda was looking back at them.

When his gaze passed over the face of a middle-aged man with a blue beard among the judges, his heart still jumped suddenly.

Extremely rare blue beard?
Could this person be the boss Lan who bought Angel Street and wanted to renovate it?
It was Xingtian who calmed down his mood as quickly as possible, but the sophisticated Boss Lan was the first to capture the strangeness on the face of the young chef in front of him.

It seems that the other party has recognized who he is!

But that's all it takes.

If a chef is upset, can he still calm down and cook properly?
Boss Lan thought of this, and when he looked at Koda again, he already had an expression that was half-smiling.

At this time, the oldest one among the ten judges asked Koda, "Xing Tian, ​​since you are applying to participate in the assessment to become a five-star chef, you must know that you need to prepare for this assessment." What dishes?"

Koda bowed to the elder and replied, "Yes, I know all about it. During the assessment, you need to prepare an appetizer, a main course, a dessert, and a soup. There are four dishes in total."

"Very well, so where is the menu you prepared for us?"

"The menu is all here."

This time, without waiting for Koda to answer, Tian Xiaofu on the side held a stack of exquisite menu boards and placed them one by one in front of the judges.

Fortunately, when she helped Koda prepare these things last night, she prepared some more, otherwise there would definitely not be enough to send out now.

Because before the jury members arrived, Koda and she didn't know how many people the other party would come.

When the menu board was sent to Boss Lan, the latter raised his eyes and glanced at Tian Xiaofu.

This girl with moon-white hair is probably Koda's girlfriend, right?

But in the report given to him by his subordinate, it was clearly stated that the two had broken up, why did she appear in Koda's shop?

Teacher Lan remained calm on the face, but began to ponder in his heart.

After Tian Xiaofu handed out the menus to the judges who filled the first two tables, Jacques called her in a low voice and asked her for a menu.

As usual, they, who are responsible for accompanying the judges, cannot participate in the dish tasting for this assessment.

After all, preparing too many servings of food at one time will put extra pressure on the chefs participating in the assessment.

Through Jacques's appearance, Tian Xiaofu probably judged that this person should be the three-star gourmet that Xing Tian had mentioned to her.

So she readily took a menu board to the other party.

The reviewer who was sitting in the middle of the first row had already read the menu in his hand.

To be honest, he felt that the names of the dishes on the menu could not arouse his interest in tasting food.

Some suspected that he might be here to eat for a lonely man, and waved to Koda with a lack of interest, "It's ok, we've finished reading the menu, please go and prepare the dishes."

"Okay, then I would like to ask you to wait here for a moment!"

After Koda finished speaking, he turned and went into the back kitchen, and began to get busy.

The reviewers sitting outside the kitchen can clearly see Koda's every move in front of the operating table through the large transparent window in front.

Many of the reviewers sat upright unconsciously from the moment Koda entered the kitchen.

This is because, in their view, the assessment of the young chef had already begun the moment he entered the kitchen.

Even Jacques, who was sitting in the third row of seats, clearly felt that the atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became solemn.

While the judges were waiting, Tian Xiaofu, who was in charge of the service work, brought them tableware and provided them with some simple drinking water.

Like this clear water, Jacques and other entourage also have a share.

He just stared at Jacques who was cooking in the kitchen with his two eyes. He thanked Tian Xiaofu who poured him water, picked up the water glass with his right hand and took a casual sip.

But it was this sip of water that made him a little stunned.

In order to make sure that his sense of taste did not go wrong just now, he held the water glass to his mouth, took another sip of water and poured it in.

This time, he did not rush to drink the water all at once, but let the naturally sweet water slowly taste sweet between his lips and teeth.

After drinking the saliva, Jacques could not help but stop his eyes on the ordinary glass in his hand.

What kind of water is in here?

Why does it taste so mild when you drink it, with that natural and rustic clear aftertaste?

It is hard to imagine that this unique taste comes from the inconspicuous glass of water in front of you.

Just when Jacques was confused about this glass of water, a judge in the front row who also tasted the water suddenly said, "The taste of this water after entering the mouth is 80.00% like it comes from the mountain at the foot of Arno Mountain." Water from the spring area. As for the remaining 20.00% of the taste, I can’t taste where it comes from. This glass of water may be a mixture of two different mountain spring waters.”

As soon as he finished speaking, another reviewer followed up and said, "I don't think it's spring water from Mount Arno."

“The primitive mountain forest area of ​​Arno Mountain is tens of thousands of miles away from here.

Even if you take a flying boat, you can't go back and forth on the same day.

And once that kind of water leaves the lake of origin, it will produce a peculiar smell after more than twenty hours.

Because some of the beneficial active elements in it will degrade if not replenished, causing the taste to change. "

After listening to the reviewer's words, the first reviewer who spoke did not feel displeased, but raised his chin and began to think.

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't find the result, so he could only turn his eyes to the older judge next to him who was still sipping the clear water in the glass.

He asked the latter in an open-minded tone, "Old Ming, do you see any mystery in the water?"

After listening to the questions from the junior next to him, Mr. Ming gently placed the cup in his hand on the table.

Just listen to him say slowly and slowly, "This water is not some kind of mountain spring water."

"If my judgment is not wrong, this water should be clear water distilled by some special method."

Distilled water? !

Elder Ming's judgment made the other reviewers look at each other in dismay.

Although they have tasted natural water sources from various places on their home planet, they rarely drink distilled water that is so clear that it has almost no impurities.

When Ming Lao explained the origin of the water, the eyes of Tian Xiaofu, who was standing beside him, lit up slightly.

This method of clear distilled water, which can bring a special taste, was a little trick her parents taught her for fun when she was a teenager.Except in her own home, she has never drank water with this taste anywhere.

Tian Xiaofu really didn't expect that these people from the food appreciation party could even taste this.

While everyone was talking, a black cat wagging its tail walked past on the upper floor above the ceiling above their heads.

Lin Shu successfully dug out the voice converter from the coat pocket that Tian Xiaofu had left on the sofa, and put the device around her neck again.

After all, it was only today that she had to worry about this thing. She felt that she could hold on for a while longer.

Just when she put on the voice converter and returned along the original path of the stairs, a strong and unique fragrance wafted from the back kitchen.

The judges sitting outside smelled the aroma one by one, judging the ingredients and seasonings used inside.

After a while, the elder Ming who had spoken before seemed to smell something unusual.

After thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly brightened up.

It seems that the appetizer that the young chef is going to serve soon seems a bit complicated!
