Rebirth as a Cooking God

The lion dance team withdrew and Qi Qingyan took the stage as host.

Good evening, everybody--

Qi Qingyan waved to the four seats.

Wow!

It is Goddess Qi who is presiding over this selection of the Liu family. I want a thumbs up for this card!

Offstage, the program team of the local TV station in Jinguancheng was also nervously carrying out the live broadcast of the selection.

After all, it is a large-scale program held every three years, with influence all over the country. The official attaches great importance to this good opportunity to promote the cultural scenery of Sichuan and the city.

On the Internet, seafood TV live broadcast platform.

A popular live broadcast room whose popularity quickly exceeded one million as soon as it started broadcasting. The title is like this:

Tang’s Pearl takes you to watch Liu’s Lantern Festival selection simultaneously.

Ah, who changed the title of my live broadcast room! In the camera, Tang Yuqiong wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction. She didn't go anywhere tonight. She rarely sat in front of the computer. The live broadcast source was changed to page ingest, just watching Shu. He looked at the live broadcast of the local TV station and said with great interest, Come on, come on, everyone, count with me to see how many familiar faces there are in the guest seats...

She held her chin with her hands and stared at the live broadcast. When the host Qi Qingyan said thank you to the guests, the camera slowly panned over the guest seats in time.

Suddenly, Tang Yuqiong's eyes lit up.

In the front row, the boy really has the aura of a devil.

Tang Yuqiong thought so, and glanced at the thick barrage that suddenly exploded.

666, Summer Demon King!

Ah, after watching Kitchen Three Kingdoms, I was deeply attracted by the charm of the devil. I am addicted to the devil and can't help myself...

I also watched that variety show, and I'm sure our Summer Demon King is a drama queen!

In the thick layer of barrages, Tang Yuqiong immediately saw this barrage of drama stars. She was stunned, and then burst into laughter, Yes, yes, that guy is a drama star. Tonight's selection Look at some!

Out of intuition, Tang Yuqiong felt that Xia Yu's attendance at Liu's selection tonight was very complicated.

If Xia Yu knew that in the eyes of acquaintances, he already had the aura of a drama star like a primary school student, would he cry?

Huh!

In the camera, Tang Yuqiong then discovered that the boy was facing a half-grown girl, touching her head, his face was soft, and he was telling something. His aura seemed like that of a big brother in the camera.

Just in time, the female host Qi Qingyan’s voice came out:

...Please invite the seventh contestant Liu Ying to come on stage!

then.

The much-anticipated selection stage has an extra little one.

Liu Ying stood in a row with the other six contestants. The difference in height and age was there, and the style of her painting immediately seemed wrong.

The 6 contestants on the stage had different expressions.

Offstage, not to mention the audience watching the live broadcast, there were also boos in the auditorium.

Qi Qingyan's face did not change, and she said with a genuine smile: The seventh contestant, Liu Ying, is 13 years old this year. I think that Mrs. Liu put such an ethnic group into the contestant list because she must have recognized her cooking skills and believed in her. A young ethnic person can shine in such a grand event!

The camera shifts to the guest seats.

Old Mrs. Liu looked at the camera, leaning on a cane, with an imperceptible twitch at the corner of her mouth.

Liu Lan was the leader among the seven selectors. He stared straight at the second row of Xia Demon King on the stage and couldn't help but take a breath: How on earth did he let the old lady arrange such a job? From the list?”

While the female host Qi Qingyan introduced the seven contestants, Xia Yu quietly gave Zhu Qing a thumbs up.

Aunt Qing, thank you!

In fact, Zhu Qing took over the matter of the list and promised him this morning that he would complete it.

The corner of Zhu Qing's mouth twitched, Humph!

It's too insincere to say thank you.

Xia Yu shrugged: What do you want?

He looked around and saw that the camera was not here. Zhu Qing immediately got close to him, almost biting Xia Yu's ear with his lips, and breathed out softly: Win for me today!

The playful expression of the past was gone, and his face became more solemn and serious.

This battle cannot be lost!

As if she was gritting her teeth, Xia Yu turned her head to face a pair of eyes full of emotion, able to understand what Zhu Qing could not convey. Suddenly, a warm current called family affection nourished her soul. Nodding affirmatively, Xia Yu whispered: I won't lose!

This time, the answer was decisive.

Zhu Qing stared at him for a few seconds, then sat back.

So--

Qi Qingyan, who served as the emcee and hostess, after introducing the seven contestants, held a bundle of question scrolls, stood in the middle of the stage, shook her hands with a smile, and spread out the scrolls, Everyone, read with me!

The same voice resounded in the stadium with tens of thousands of people:

Floating Yuanzi!

Tang Yuqiong, who was watching the selection live broadcast simultaneously with millions of online viewers, was stunned for a moment and said: What a retro title!

Danmaku has already started to popularize science.

Fu Yuanzi is actually the old name of Yuanxiao.

It is said that Yuanxiao originated in the Song Dynasty. It is filled with various fruit baits, covered with glutinous rice flour and rolled into balls. It is cooked and eaten. It is sweet, delicious and full of fun.

To be honest, Yuanxiao is indeed a small snack that is loved by the people.

Lantern Festival!

Xia Yu knew in advance that the topic was limited to pastries, but he didn't know what the specific topic was.

During the Lantern Festival, making and eating Lantern Festival sounds wonderful.

In fact, Liu's selection is a triennial food event in the region, and using the old title of Lantern Festival as a gimmick can not help but be suspected of being fried. You can tell by the boos at the scene. The crowd who came to watch the excitement, Also very dissatisfied with the title!

Qi Qingyan could only ask Ye Feizhou, who was beside the old lady, to explain.

The camera fell on the disciple of the Heavenly King. Ye Feizhou smiled calmly and said, This topic was agreed upon by me and a group of elders of the Liu family.

About thirty years ago, that is, the first ten Liu selections, the title 'Lantern Festival' was also used. I think older audiences may still remember that selection. However, times are changing, and so is the food world. It changes day by day, and there are new dishes every day...

After a pause, Ye Feizhou continued.

As we all know, the selection is to allow the outstanding chef Liu to stand out and win the right to operate Juxialou for three years.

In this era of rapid change, innovation is a very difficult problem faced by major restaurants and restaurants. Chefs must be creative enough to satisfy the people's growing tastes!

“So, innovation is the real theme of tonight’s party!”

After saying that, Ye Feizhou sat down.

The camera panned to the first row. A group of elderly people, including Mrs. Liu, all nodded in agreement with Ye Feizhou's words.

The seven players on the stage suddenly fell into thinking.

On the basis of Lantern Festival, innovate dishes?

Liu Lan frowned and started thinking.

When it comes to innovation, from the perspective of dishes, it can be divided into two parts: internal and external.

Outside, of course it’s the food, which is a change in appearance!

In people's common sense, the Lantern Festival is white and fat. If it is made into a beautiful fruit platter, it can be regarded as a small innovation.

And inside, it involves the ingredients of dim sum!

The traditional Yuanxiao is filled with peanuts, sesame and other fillings and wrapped in glutinous rice flour.

So, can we cut the dough and stuffing?

Liu Lan had a lot of ideas, but for a moment, she had the terrible feeling of being in a mess and having no way to start, How should I reform?

The camera clearly broadcast Liu Lan's frowning expression on the big screen.

Why.

Seeing this, Old Madam Liu sighed.

This Liu Lan is the strongest person among the Liu clan in his generation, but in the entire Chinese world, such the strongest person can only be regarded as a mediocre person in the middle level. The cooking skills such as heat, knife skills, seasoning, etc. are not top-notch.

creativity? In this regard, Liu Lan's qualifications also appear mediocre, and this mediocrity in all aspects is also the reason why Liu Lan has been running Ju Downstairs for three years without any improvement.

The chef's style is the style of a restaurant.

How can dishes that are mediocre in every aspect capture that group of young consumers whose tastes have changed?

The seven contestants had half an hour to think and prepare.

However, the kitchen counter numbered 7 quickly attracted the attention of the camera and the audience.

Um?

Is that little girl on No. 7 starting now?

Her name is Liu Ying, right?
