Survival in the city at the beginning, my identity as Shenhao was exposed

It is not enough just to successfully pack the side dishes and marinade into the vacuum bag, he has to do experiments to record the shelf life of these things, and how the taste changes every other day.

So, he is busy every day now.

The news from the state banquet has not yet been confirmed.

The men's basketball team urged.

Now that Yang Chen has signed a contract to join the men's basketball team, he will participate in this year's Men's Basketball World Cup.

He definitely needs to practice together with his teammates and get in touch with each other more, so as to avoid unnecessary mistakes in the main game due to unfamiliarity with each other.

Yang Chen handed over the work of the test record to the factory's master, and prepared to meet up with his men's basketball teammates and train together.

At this moment, Wang Zhenggan called Yang Chen.

"Mr. Yang, congratulations, your request has passed the review. As long as this banquet is a complete success, you will receive a 500 million allowance." Wang Zhengqian said happily.

The state banquet is arranged on August 8th, and the Men's Basketball World Cup starts on August 10th.

Apparently, two things conflicted.

And according to the regulations, all the staff members participating in the state banquet must check into the designated hotel one week in advance.

The waiters have to train their appearance, the posture of serving tea and pouring water, etc.

Yang Chen and other chefs need to rehearse the dishes that will be prepared that day in advance.

Some dishes, condiments, side dishes, etc. that need to be prepared in advance can be prepared at this time.

For the sake of safety, everyone can only move around in designated hotels and other areas, and are not allowed to leave these places.

Therefore, Yang Chen not only couldn't train with the men's basketball teammates, but also had to miss the two days of games on August 8th and August 8th.

This made Dayao very anxious.

He quickly asked for help, and met Wang Zhengqian and Yang Chen.

"Secretary Wang, Yang Chen is very important to our national team now. During the two days on the 8th and 9th, you must let him out to participate in the competition." Dayao pleaded.

Wang Zhenggan replied with a look of embarrassment: "I really want to help you, but I really don't dare. You know in your heart who will be at the banquet on the 10th. There really can't be any mistakes, even if it's because of a bird. The flies landed on the dinner plate and caused the guests to stop eating, and I couldn't even eat it. Do you think I dare to use Yang Chen for you?"

"Then what should we do? We were divided into the death group this time. The American team, the Argentine team, the Pakistani team, and the Sila team are all strong teams. Without him, we can't win." Dayao said helplessly. said.

"I'm sorry, but I can't help! To put it bluntly, it's not a big deal if the men's basketball team doesn't appear in the group stage. But if there is a slight problem with the banquet, it's a big deal. Are you right?" Wang Zhengqian also said helplessly.

Seeing the two of them frowning, Yang Chen comforted him: "There are four teams in one group, even if they lost the previous two days, I can lead the team to qualify. Go back and let them train well, and wait for me to finish the task here. matter, rush over to join you immediately.”

Chapter 66 Preparing for a State Banquet

Because he couldn't leave the designated place, Yang Chen not only couldn't train with his men's basketball teammates, he also had to miss the two days of games on August 8th and August 8th.

This made Dayao very anxious.

He quickly asked for help, and met Wang Zhengqian and Yang Chen.

"Secretary Wang, Yang Chen is very important to our national team now. During the two days on the 8th and 9th, you must let him out to participate in the competition." Dayao pleaded.

Wang Zhenggan replied with a look of embarrassment: "I really want to help you, but I really don't dare. You know in your heart who will be at the banquet on the 10th. There really can't be any mistakes, even if it's because of a bird. The flies landed on the dinner plate and caused the guests to stop eating, and I couldn't even eat it. Do you think I dare to use Yang Chen for you?"

"Then what should we do? We were divided into the death group this time. The American team, the Argentine team, and the Baxi team are all strong teams. Without him, we can't win." Dayao said helplessly.

"I'm sorry, but I can't help! To put it bluntly, it's not a big deal if the men's basketball team doesn't appear in the group stage. But if there is a slight problem with the banquet, it's a big deal. Are you right?" Wang Zhengqian also said helplessly.

Seeing the two of them frowning, Yang Chen comforted him: "There are four teams in one group, even if they lost the previous two days, I can lead the team to qualify. Go back and let them train well, and wait for me to finish the task here. matter, rush over to join you immediately.”

In previous Men's Basketball World Cups, 32 teams were divided into 8 groups, with 4 teams in each group for a single round-robin match within the group.

The two best teams advance to the round of 16.

But the result of this is that some groups will have multiple strong teams, and some groups will be weak.

Whether it is considered from a fair point of view or from an ornamental point of view, it is obviously inappropriate.

Therefore, FIBA ​​is trying to carry out reforms in this Men's Basketball World Cup.

There are still 32 teams participating, but they are no longer divided into 8 groups, but are divided into 4 groups, with 8 teams in each group for a single round-robin match within the group.

The four teams with the highest points will advance to the round of 16 and then play a single knockout match.

Because there are 8 teams in each group, there will definitely be strong and weak teams, and it will be relatively fair.

The reason why Yang Chen is confident that he can qualify after losing the first two games is because of the reform of the competition system.

It doesn't matter if he lost the first two games, as long as he leads the team and wins the remaining five games, he will definitely enter the top 5.

In any case, the state banquet is definitely more important than the Men's Basketball World Cup.

So Dayao can only be forced to accept this reality.

……

Soon, the 8th will arrive.

As the host, the game between the Dragon Country and the US team will start at 9:[-] am as the opening match.

As a result, it was no surprise that the Dragon Country team couldn't handle the tide of offense from the US team at all. They lost 15 points in the first quarter, 30 points in the first half, and 55 points in the whole game.

Although the result was tragic, it was all within everyone's expectations.

So, everyone didn't say anything.

At 9 p.m. on the 3th, the match between the Longguo team and Argentine was no suspense.

The Argentine team once defeated the US team to win the championship, and their strength is naturally very strong.

Although their offense was not as sharp as that of the American team, they still beat the Longguo team by 30 points.

After two games, the fans couldn't bear it anymore.

All major websites, forums, short video platforms, and netizens are complaining.

"No matter how the strength of other countries fluctuates, the strength of our Dalong National team is as stable as ever. Losing to the US team by more than 50 points is standard, and it is embarrassing to lose less."

"Didn't it mean that Yang Chen succeeded in his trial training and entered the national team? Why is he not seen?"

"Yang Chen is going to the state banquet. He doesn't care about this at all."

"Hey... I'm really convinced. At this time, I still have a state banquet. Isn't it important to lead the national team to win the championship? There are many people who can cook, but he is the only one who can lead the team to qualify."

"Let's go to Yang Chen's live broadcast room to post barrage, hoping that the program team can convey our request to him."

……

Netizens flocked into Yang Chen's live broadcast room one after another, the screen was covered by bullet screens.

But no matter what barrage they post, Yang Chen can't see a single word.

They can only pin their hopes on the staff of the program group, hoping that these staff can pass on everyone's request to Yang Chen.

Excited netizens gradually settled down.

Everyone started to pay attention to what Yang Chen was cooking.

"What is he doing?"

"Is this making chicken soup again?"

"Don't ask, it must be chicken soup to make boiled cabbage. Such a delicious dish, he will definitely use it at the state banquet."

"Tomorrow's noon banquet, are you going to prepare it now? The weather is so hot, isn't he afraid of spoiling?"

……

Everyone guessed right, Yang Chen was indeed cooking chicken soup, and was going to make boiled cabbage.

The reason why I start cooking soup now is because this time Yang Chen made an upgraded version of boiled cabbage.

In the MasterChef competition before, he only used a small amount of side dishes such as chicken, ham, and scallops.

It's different now. In addition to chicken and other side dishes, he also uses more than 50 kinds of side dishes such as caterpillar fungus and ginseng.

The chicken soup boiled this time is not only delicious, but also has a faint medicinal fragrance, and drinking it can nourish the body.

Because there are a lot of side dishes, and there are many guests, the chicken soup is in great demand, so Yang Chen had to start preparing it a day in advance.

Yang Chen is in charge of this state banquet. Kang Zhengran and others will serve as his assistants and cook some dishes they are good at.

Of course, the main dishes are still made by Yang Chen.

After a week of preparation, the day of the 10th finally came.

Just after dawn, Yang Chen brought the chefs to get busy.

According to the regulations, they must have all the dishes ready before 10:[-].

The waiter will bring all the dishes to the table by 11 o'clock.

The guests will arrive one after another before 11:[-] and start dining.

These steps have strict requirements, absolutely can not go wrong.

Except for the leaders of the Long Kingdom, most of the guests at the state banquet were foreign guests.

Therefore, there are both Long Guo cuisine and Western food.

Even two dishes have to be prepared to meet the needs of the leaders of a few countries.

Soon, the waiter brought all the dishes to the table.

After a while, the guests came in and took their seats.

Seeing the beautiful and colorful things on the table, the guests started talking in low voices.

"Wow, the dishes seem to be a little different this time!"

"I have eaten the state banquet of Dragon Kingdom before, and it was not so beautiful at all."

"Did they change the chef? These dishes look so good."

"So what if it looks good? It won't be delicious. I still think our steak and foie gras are the best."

"I still think the food is the best, but Longguo food is too strong and not tasty at all."

"Wow, there is actually a plate of clear water kimchi here. This is a bit too much. After all, it is a state banquet. Give us this thing? Although it looks good, it can't change the fact that it is a cabbage heart."

Chapter 67 The situation is reversed, the guests ask for more food

The foreign guests showed distaste for Long Guocai, which made the leaders of Long Guo feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, it is a matter related to the image of the country, so they naturally don't want to disappoint the foreign guests.

And they all heard that the chef in charge of this state banquet asked for a stipend of 500 million.

If the dishes he cooks cannot satisfy the foreign guests, then the 500 million subsidy will be for nothing.

The chief chef of this banquet is Yang Chen, and he cooks most of the dishes himself.

However, a small number of special Western food, dishes, etc., are made by the chefs brought by the foreign guests.

To put it bluntly, they were a little worried about the chef from Longguo.

And they are also used to the dishes made by their own "royal chef", so they let the "royal chef" cook a few favorite dishes for them alone.

In this case, they naturally give priority to eating the dishes made by their own chefs.

This table in the United States.

"This shark's fin is still delicious, and the dishes made by my own people just make me feel at ease."

"That's right, at least get some delicious ingredients. What's the point of having a piece of cabbage? It's too much fun."

"Isn't it good for everyone to eat Western food later, and keep the Long Guo cuisine?"

"Then take a bite of it, and don't let Longguo's side get down."

……

The table of the island nation.

"It's my wisest choice to bring Mr. Guan Gu here this time. The silver cod he cooks is still so delicious."

"This sashimi is still so fresh and delicious!"

"It's a pity that we can only cook three dishes at most, otherwise it would be great if all of our table could be cooked."
