Food King [Interstellar]

Hearing Luo Xun's words, Jiang Tang glanced at him, couldn't help but curled the corner of his mouth, but he quickly pulled the corner of his mouth back to where it was. What was the inexplicable joy in his heart? Did he really bend? right?He quickly put down his chopsticks and stood up: "I'll get you some more meat." After finishing speaking, he went to work at the desk, and as soon as he got busy, he wouldn't worry about it anymore.

He was busy when Richard came over, with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face, he said to Jiang Tang seriously: "Jiang Tang, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Tang is making a piece of water monster meat as a hot pot ingredient. He sliced ​​the fish meat as thin as a piece of paper. The fish meat is translucent, so if you put it in the hot pot and scald it, you can fish it out. To be honest, if it is not a freshwater fish That's it, it's a pity that such meat is best eaten raw as fish.Jiang Tangpian had to concentrate, without raising his head, he said: "Okay, let's talk."

Richard looked at Jiang Tang's movements, and lost his mind for a moment. Even his teacher and his teacher's teacher couldn't match such knife skills. Richard shook his head, frowned and said, "Please respect and follow me. The person you are talking to should at least look him in the eye and speak."

Jiang Tang stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked at him: "Okay, tell me."

Richard glanced at the people around him, everyone lowered their heads and went about their own business, so he whispered to Jiang Tang, "I don't think it's good for you."

Jiang Tang blinked and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

Richard said: "I know that you learned your cooking skills secretly, and you have never formally studied as a teacher, so you have not signed the confidentiality agreement of the Chefs Association and are not bound by this agreement. Probably because you got it easily, you will You can easily teach these people how to cook, but do you know that by doing so, all the efforts of our association over the years have been wasted, and you are slapping us in the face."

Jiang Tang understood what Richard was referring to: "You mean what I did violated the confidentiality agreement of your association, right?"

Richard stared at Jiang Tang with gray eyes, and said seriously: "You are not a member of our Chefs Association, of course you are not bound by this agreement, but I ask you to respect us, and don't endanger our interests, let alone let the noble The art of cooking is reduced to child's play."

Hearing this, Jiang Tang couldn't help laughing: "I'm sorry, Richard, I can't promise you this. My approach is exactly the opposite of the purpose of your Chefs Association. I just want to make the world's common The common people can eat, if this harms your interests, then I can only say sorry."

Richard gritted his teeth: "You are ruining art! You don't respect art at all!"

Jiang Tang shrugged his shoulders: "I'm sorry, I also think cooking is an art, the difference is that you think cooking is an art that only a few people deserve to enjoy, but I think cooking is an art for lower Liba people, it should be Popular art that ordinary people are entitled to enjoy."

Richard showed your naive expression: "You are too whimsical, Jiang Tang, even if you let them all learn to cook, what can they change? The Chefs Association will not certify them, even if they know how to cook You can’t find a job, and even if you know how to cook, you can’t get ingredients. You’re just drawing cakes to satisfy everyone’s hunger. Not only will it not solve the problem, but it may also cause people’s dissatisfaction. Do you know how big a social hidden danger this is? "

Jiang Tang laughed: "This is exactly the problem I want to solve. Why is such a simple matter of cooking being monopolized by your chef association? You cook a meal for everyone, and it costs thousands of yuan a meal. It costs people one Monthly salary, do you think this is reasonable?"

"It's not unreasonable. There are few people who can cook, and all the ingredients we use come from distant planets. Do you know how expensive it is?" Richard said quite logically.

"I'm not just trying to solve the problem that people can't cook? As for ingredients, as long as certain chaebols don't monopolize, the situation will not be like this," Jiang Tang said.

Richard found himself being surrounded by Jiang Tang: "What good is it for you to fight against our Chefs Association like this? Is it because you once wanted to learn art and were bullied by others, so out of some revenge What did you do?"

Jiang Tang found that Richard's thinking had been limited by his position, and he might gain nothing if he continued to communicate, so he waved his hands and said, "You think too much, I don't have any prejudice against chefs. It's just that our positions are different, you I think that people are born in different classes. Some people can afford restaurants, some people can only eat molecular meals for a lifetime, some people are born to learn cooking skills, and some people are not qualified to learn it all their lives. But I think that people are born equal No one can deprive others of the right to eat, and no one has the right to stipulate that people can only eat this and not that. I have decided to teach cooking skills, and I will continue to do it forever, so that the whole world People all over the world learn to cook, so that people all over the world can happily eat delicious meals like today."

Richard looked at Jiang Tang and felt a sense of frustration. He turned his head away: "I think you are just acting out of anger. This is simply impossible."

Jiang Tang smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "Then let's wait and see if I can do it."

Short said loudly: "What are you two talking about? Jiang Tang, is the meat ready? There is nothing left in the hot pot."

Jiang Tang replied: "Here it is, it has been cut."

Jiang Tang brought a slice of fish and walked over. Short picked up a chopstick and put the fish meat in the hot pot for a while. You make it taste better."

Richard seemed to be insulted, he never talked back to Short, but at this moment he straightened up and said: "Mr. Short, I'm afraid I don't agree with you, I think our French restaurant is the best Delicious food, this is also a universally recognized fact, Chinese food is impossible to be better than French food, and the culinary competitions over the years have proved it. You think it is delicious, but I think it is just a temporary novelty." After finishing speaking, he glanced at He gave Jiang Tang a look, which was full of provocation.

Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten the dishes made by Mr. Richard, so I really want to try them."

Short was not displeased by Richard's rebuttal, but instead said happily: "Since Richard thinks the dishes he cooks are worse than Jiang Tang's, it's better like this, you all make a few dishes for yourself Then invite us to have a taste and see who cooks better."

Richard said, "I agree!"

Jiang Tang saw Richard's face full of determination, so he could only smile and said: "Then I can only agree. But I have a request, and I hope it will be held in a month's time."

Richard looked at Jiang Tang: "Why is it a month later? Are you afraid?"

Jiang Tang waved his hand: "No, my soy sauce will be brewed for about a month or so. Without soy sauce, I feel like I'm running around naked when cooking. I can't cook many dishes."

Short said: "Isn't it just a month, Richard can also make sufficient preparations, I think it will be fine."

Richard added: "Since it's a competition, there must be some prizes!"

Short waved his hand and agreed very readily: "Yes, you can mention it as you like."

Richard stared into Jiang Tang's eyes: "If I win the competition, please stop Mr. Jiang Tang's public lectures and stop harming the interests of our Chefs Association."

As soon as he said this, Jiang Tang frowned. He had never eaten the dishes made by Richard, so he didn't know his true level. He didn't dare to make a final decision on the strategic plan of the entire revolutionary army, so he didn't speak for a while.

Luo Xun also frowned. He looked at Richard and said, "Richard, I can agree to your request for Jiang Tang. But Jiang Tang's teaching to everyone is not only his own wish, but also the whole of us. The strategic plan of the Revolutionary Army. So in order to be fair, you'd better be able to represent the entire Chefs Association. If Jiang Tang wins, we ask your Chefs Association to teach cooking to the public unconditionally. Can you make a commitment on behalf of the entire Chefs Association?"

Richard was speechless by Rosen's request, and to be honest, he couldn't do it.

Short was afraid that the world would not be chaotic: "Richard, I think Roosevelt's request is more fair, I agree for you, and this is the prize."

There were beads of sweat on Richard's forehead, his lower lip was biting white, and he said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Short, the matter is very important. I can't agree to this request for the Chefs Association." Chad is just a small chef, and he is not valued in the family, otherwise how could he be Short's personal chef.This matter is of great importance, even if he really wants to decide the chef's future by competing in his cooking skills, he shouldn't be competing with Jiang Tang, at least he must be the chef with the highest level in the entire Chefs Association.

Rosen said: "Since Mr. Richard can't agree to our request, then it's a private discussion between you two."

So this contest was decided.The news quickly spread throughout the Revolutionary Army and the Pirate Legion, and even the imperial soldiers in the detention center knew about it. Everyone was eager to try this competition and hoped to be a judge.For the sake of fairness, Jiang Tang proposed to ask 50 public judges, which will be more fair and reasonable, because everyone's tastes are different, and there is no way to standardize the taste. Only with more people's approval is the real food.

Jiang Tang asked Luo Xun in private: "Have you ever eaten the food made by Richard?"

Luo Xun said: "I've eaten it, it's not as delicious as your cooking. Actually, I really wanted to agree to it for you at the time, but if I agreed to such a big matter, it would mean that we are too easy to bully. Individuals can come and challenge us, and we will not be able to deal with kicking from the pavilion in the future.”

Jiang Tang said: "Actually, when comparing the pros and cons of French food and Chinese food alone, I don't know if I can beat him. After all, French food is also one of the most classic foods."

Luo Xun patted his head: "I believe you, it must be better than his cooking."

Jiang Tang felt that Luo Xun had blind confidence in him, but this made him feel a little happy: "I will work hard and not let you down."

"You must be the best, come on!" Luo Xun gave him a thumbs up.

Jiang Tang's soy sauce tank is placed in the sun, and he has to stir it every morning and evening to make it fully fermented. He can gradually smell the aroma of the sauce, which is very strong.Jiang Tang found out the method of making fruit wine from the materials that Luo Xun copied from the Ping family. He asked Daniel to make wine koji for himself, and made wine with the drunken fruit and other fruits. He didn't know what the brewing effect would be.

He also planted all the spice seeds he got from Richard. Roots like onions and garlic can be planted directly in the soil. The weather is warm and they will grow very vigorously in less than a month. Others It grows slowly, and it can be harvested in two months.

The days of waiting for the game were very peaceful, and the empire's spaceship never came again, or it might not have arrived yet.Short was invited to be a bodyguard, and naturally he did not eat and drink for nothing. He helped Luo Xun build a complete military defense system. Attack of the Imperial Army.

Short smiled and said, "Roosevelt, you are so poor, how can you compete with the empire? Even if you can protect yourself, where will the money come from?"

Rosen said: "Of course it is self-sufficient. With the planet as a foothold, systems such as industry, agriculture, commerce, and military can all be developed."

"Then you plan to be independent?"

Rosen shook his head: "I never thought about independence, I think a federal system can be established."

Short thought for a while, then nodded: "It's a good idea. Sometimes I also feel that the imperial government is too lenient, and the actual situation of each planet is different. They insist on making a one-size-fits-all approach, which makes everyone very nervous. Dissatisfied. But the imperial government will not let go easily, there are still tough battles to fight, you have to be mentally prepared."

Luo Xun said lightly: "As long as everyone is united, nothing is impossible. If no one takes the lead, we can only be content with the status quo forever, and complain in private. If someone takes the lead, these complaints can be transformed into strength."
