Chinese chef

74 Chinese Food Awards

This afternoon, Mu Feng was teaching the chefs how to cook in the back kitchen of Zhonghua Building.

Shi Nancheng came to the back kitchen to look for Mu Feng.

"Next week, the annual Chinese Food Awards will be held in Fortress. They intend to invite us to participate." Shi Nancheng said to Mu Feng.

"Isn't this Chinese Food Award only inviting restaurants that have been established for less than ten years?" Mu Feng asked suspiciously.

Mu Feng had already heard about this Chinese food award when he was in the culinary school.

Because only restaurants and restaurants are invited to participate in this event, it was nicknamed "China Restaurant Awards" by netizens.

Because this activity aims to discover and promote some restaurants and restaurants that have great potential although they have not been established for a long time.

Therefore, the organizer of the Chinese Food Awards will use a series of complex data analysis to select the top [-] restaurants that are the most popular on the Internet that year and have not been established for more than ten years.

This event was specially organized by Shitian Food Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China's leading Internet company that specializes in investing in the food industry.

In fact, another very important reason for Shitian Food Company to hold this event is to promote its own food app.

This is why only new restaurants that have been established for less than ten years are invited to participate in the event.

Those restaurants with a long history are too difficult for Shi Tianxia to serve. The number of invited restaurants is small, and the scale of the event cannot be increased. The number of invited restaurants is too large. It is too much to coordinate so many large restaurants. trouble.

Unlike those small restaurants, as soon as the invitation letter is sent, they all come.Moreover, the small restaurant is more conducive to the follow-up cooperation between Shitian Food Company and them.

Shitianxia Gourmet Company will invite these [-] restaurants to participate in the exhibition after selecting these [-] restaurants through the network big data analysis of the parent company Tengfei Company.

At the same time, Tengfei Company also invested a lot of resources in this activity, and mobilized many corresponding subsidiaries to cooperate with Shitianxia.

At that time, Shitian Food Company will broadcast live on the Internet to let more people know about these emerging restaurants.

Not only that, because it is held by Shitianxia Company and it is a feast about food, so there will be many food anchors to live broadcast at that time.

At that time, these fifty restaurants will receive a lot of attention.

In fact, when the Chinese Food Awards was first held five years ago, not many people paid attention to it.

Many of the selected restaurants did not attend the exhibition after receiving the invitation.

Only [-] of the [-] restaurants were visited, only [-]/[-] of them.

However, in that year, these eighteen restaurants received a lot of attention because of their participation in this event.

That year, the business of these [-] restaurants was extremely booming, and they frequently appeared on various authoritative or amateur gourmet lists on the Internet.

Seeing this situation, the restaurants that were originally invited but did not go regretted it.

So, in the second year, all the invited restaurants went to participate in the exhibition.

This time, because there are more restaurants participating in the exhibition, the traffic is divided, and the attention each restaurant receives is correspondingly reduced.

However, even so, the business and reputation of the fifty invited restaurants still improved significantly.

Moreover, many of the restaurants invited this year were not from the previous year, and some of them were excluded because they were established just over ten years ago.

There are also some, because they missed the good opportunity in the first session, and their popularity on the Internet was surpassed by other restaurants, so they were left far behind and lost the opportunity to participate in the exhibition.

In fact, Zhonghualou did not have the opportunity to participate in this exhibition originally, because Zhonghualou was founded far beyond the ten-year limit.

However, because Zhonghua Building has been really popular on the Internet recently.

In addition, the Chinese Food Awards have been held for five consecutive years, and the attention they have received is not as good as before.

After all, this activity is a product of the Internet and has its own rules of survival.

If fewer and fewer people pay attention, then this activity will lose its original function of attracting traffic.

Then maybe within a few years, this activity will gradually decline like other Internet activities, and finally disappear in the ocean of the Internet.

Therefore, in order to attract enough traffic, the Chinese Food Awards specially invited Zhonghua Lou to participate.

----

After listening to Mu Feng's words, Shi Nancheng replied: "The organizer said they invited us to be special guests. I guess it should be like the opening of Mr. Han's crab garden before. They want to borrow the fame of Zhonghua Building!"

"This Chinese Food Award is not at the same level as Crab Garden! There is a huge difference between the two, right? This event doesn't need to borrow the fame of our Zhonghua Building, right?" Mu Feng said doubtfully.

"I felt the same way at first, and I only realized it after Dong Ning told me." Shi Nancheng said.

"Dong Ning?" Mu Feng was startled.

"Well, she sent me a message two days ago, saying that she got insider information that China Food Awards will invite us to be a special guest at the China Building. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect the invitation letter to be sent today. It is." Shi Nancheng said with a smile.

Mu Feng nodded.

"Dong Ning said that since the last video of the Crab Garden Showdown was uploaded on the Internet, related searches for Zhonghua Building on the Internet have shown exponential growth. In addition, this time the Chinese Food Awards wants to carry out reforms, adding some It's a novel link, so I want to bring Zhonghua Building there." Shi Nancheng continued.

"The novel link? What link?" Mu Feng asked.

"I heard that for this exhibition, each restaurant will open a live broadcast room, and then fans can like and give rewards in the live broadcast room. In the end, all rewards will be donated to charity organizations for charity." Shi Nancheng said.

"Food and live broadcast rewards, plus charity, there are so many ideas for the organizer of the Chinese Food Awards." Mu Feng laughed.

"How is it? Do you want to participate?" Shi Nancheng asked.

"Of course, if you can promote Zhonghualou and do charity, of course you have to participate." Mu Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll reply to them right away. Let's go to Zhonghua Building as scheduled, and we will be the best!" Shi Nancheng raised his eyebrows and said.

"...beautiful." The corners of Mu Feng's mouth twitched unnaturally.

----

Time passed quickly, and the Chinese Food Awards were held as scheduled.

Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng took their chefs to the Venus Hotel to participate in the exhibition.

Venus Hotel is a well-known five-star hotel in Fengze City. The hotel has a hall that can accommodate more than [-] tables for banquets.

This time, the Chinese Food Awards was held in this hall.

Because this time the event is only open to anchors and self-media people who have a certain number of fans, so not many people will come.

Therefore, Mu Feng only brought Jin Mingwu and Hou Yongjie with him this time.

Mu Feng and his group of four came to the hall under the leadership of the staff.

In the hotel lobby, there are a total of 51 stalls, all of which are distributed in a zigzag shape, and each stall has a full set of cooking utensils and ingredients.

Before participating in the event, each restaurant needs to report in advance the three dishes to be prepared at the exhibition, so that the organizer can prepare the corresponding ingredients in advance.

The reason why we can only cook three dishes is because each restaurant has its specialty dishes, and it is impossible for a chef to be good at all of them.

Therefore, limiting the number of dishes to three will help restaurant chefs better demonstrate their cooking skills.

The restaurants that come to participate in the event will be arranged in order from the inner circle to the outer circle according to the popularity on the Internet.

This time, Zhonghualou was invited to participate in the exhibition as a special guest, so the booth of Zhonghualou was arranged in the middle of the inner circle facing the gate.

At this time, many gourmet anchors and self-media people have gathered in the hall.

After Mu Feng appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Mufeng is here, Mufeng is here!"

"So handsome! The real person is much more handsome than the video!"

"Chef Mu, Chef Mu!"

......

Almost at the same time, everyone rushed up to take a photo with Mu Feng.

There is no way, Mu Feng has been too popular on the Internet recently.

He is not only good at cooking, the key is that he is also handsome, not just ordinary handsome, but the kind who can make his debut directly.

Therefore, all the anchors now want to take a photo with Mu Feng to get close.

That's a lot of traffic!

The anchors are like mirrors in their hearts.

Whether it's out of true admiration for Mufeng, or to use Mufeng to attract traffic, in short, seeing Mufeng is like an ant meeting honey.

Seeing a large group of people rushing over at the same time, Jin Mingwu and Hou Yongjie immediately took a step forward, blocking Mu Feng like the two door gods.

However, they were only two after all, so how could they be able to stop so many people.

Those anchors were all agile, they kept bypassing the two of them, and ran to Mu Feng's side to ask for a group photo.

Shi Nancheng hugged Mu Feng subconsciously, trying to help him block the surrounding anchors.

However, the two of them were about the same height, so they couldn't stop it at all, and instead looked weird.

"Um, what are you doing?" Mu Feng glanced at Shi Nancheng speechlessly from the corner of his eye.

"Protect you!" Shi Nancheng took it for granted.

Since Shi Nancheng was holding Mu Feng sideways, the two of them were very close, so when Shi Nancheng spoke, his breath would inevitably spray on Mu Feng's face.

Mu Feng only felt that his cheeks were a little itchy, and there was a faint fragrance of mint.

For no reason, his face suddenly turned red.

"Cough..." Mu Feng coughed lightly.

Shi Nancheng immediately looked at him, and found that his face was stained with an unnatural blush for some reason.

"What's wrong with you?" Shi Nancheng asked quickly.

"...I'm being held back by you! I'm almost out of breath!" Mu Feng shouted in a low voice in order to dispel the embarrassment in his heart.

"Oh!" Shi Nancheng's expression turned serious, and he quickly let go of his hand.

The anchors around kept shouting "Chef Mu, Master Mu, Master Mu Feng..." and the like.

At the same time, the flash flashed continuously for a moment.

Seeing that the anchors were so enthusiastic, Mu Feng had no choice but to take a photo with them for a while.

After a while, several staff members ran over to help disperse the anchors.

"Everyone, everyone, Master Mu is going to cook, please step aside!"

The staff worked together to separate the crowd and make way for Mu Feng and the others.

Fortunately, the anchors who came to participate in the event were not ordinary fans after all. Seeing that the staff were dispatched, they all consciously dispersed.

Mu Feng and the others continued to walk deep into the hall.

The stalls in the Zhonghua Building were in the inner circle. Mu Feng and the others walked all the way in, while the chefs from other restaurants were whispering.

"People from Zhonghua Building are here!"

"This time the organizer invited Zhonghualou, wouldn't the limelight be stolen by Zhonghualou?"

"Tell me, will Mu Feng make that scrambled egg with crab roe today? I really want to try it when I watch the video."

"You should think about how to attract the attention of those anchors later! Our restaurant is not here to make background boards!"

......

"Why do I feel like I've fallen into a wolf's den?" Jin Mingwu looked at other restaurants around him as he walked.

"You won't be so eye-catching if you retract your head a little bit." Hou Yongjie teased.

"Our Zhonghua Building has been so popular recently, and our participation in the event this time will definitely attract the attention of many people. Naturally, other restaurants don't like our participation in the event." Shi Nancheng said with a smile.

The staff escorted the four of Mu Feng all the way to the booth in Zhonghua Building.

Followed by a large group of anchors, at this moment they have recovered their composure, and are no longer as excited as before.

They continued their own jobs one after another, broadcasting live broadcasts to their fans.

This time, the hosts of almost all live broadcast platforms were invited as long as they had a certain number of fans.

Among them, there are not only the anchors of Tengfei's own live broadcast platform, but also the anchors of other large and small live broadcast platforms.

When Shitianxia Gourmet Company organized the Chinese Food Awards five years ago, the concept of live broadcasting did not exist at that time, and Weibo and blogs were the mainstream at that time.

The official account was just starting at that time.

Later, with the rise of live broadcasting, the influence of this event was further expanded.

Fans can follow the anchor's lens to better immerse themselves in the world of food.

The anchors began to broadcast live one after another.

Mu Feng, Jin Mingwu, and Hou Yongjie walked into the stall together and began to cook.

There is a fixed camera at the obliquely above the front of the booth, which is used by the organizer to broadcast live to each restaurant.

"Chef Mu, will you make scrambled eggs with crab roe again on site today?"

"Yes, Master Mu, I saw your scrambled eggs with crab roe on the Internet, and I really want to try it!"

......

The anchors asked one after another.

Mu Feng smiled and said, "You will know in a while."

beautiful smile...

The female anchors trembled in their hearts.

The male anchors sighed secretly, how could there be such a perfect person, not only handsome, but also able to cook.

And let no one live?

Today, the first dish that Mu Feng is going to cook is 【Stir-Fried Substitute Crab】.

This [Fried Substitute Crab] is a famous traditional dish in Hebei, which belongs to Zhili official cuisine.

[Stir-Fried Substitute Crab] As the name suggests, it is to eat crabs without seeing crabs. Although it tastes like crabs, it is not real crabs.

According to legend, in the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan, the governor of Zhili, liked [Stir-Fried Crab] very much and designated it as a special dish of the government.

But Zeng Guofan will recommend this dish to others whenever he entertains guests.

Jin Mingwu and Hou Yongjie started to process the ingredients quickly.

At this time, the host's voice came from the stage.

"Chefs from various restaurants and hosts, hello! Welcome to this year's Online Chinese Food Awards today.

Chefs, you can see that there is a camera diagonally above the front of your booth, which is used to broadcast live to you.

After the event starts, the whole process of cooking will be broadcast live on the Internet.At that time, fans in the live broadcast room can give rewards.

After the event is over, today's most popular king will be counted based on the amount of rewards received by each restaurant, as well as data such as the number of likes and simultaneous online fans.

At that time, the restaurant with the highest popularity will receive the medal of Internet Popularity King issued by the organizer.Other than that, no other forms of competition will be held in this event.

The total duration of this event is two hours.You can give full play to your cooking skills and make mouth-watering delicacies.

In addition, all the rewards obtained in this event will be collected and donated to charity organizations.

Now, I declare the event to begin!Chefs, please show off your culinary skills! "

As soon as the host's voice fell, all the lights on the stage were turned off.

Obviously, the next protagonists are the fifty restaurants present.

The organizer will not intervene in any way, and each restaurant can show its food to the fullest.

After Feiyang Live, a subsidiary of Tengfei Company, launched today's Chinese Food Awards, the number of fans in the live broadcast room to which Zhonghua Building belongs has been increasing crazily.

Within minutes of the broadcast, the number of fans exceeded [-].

Naturally, a large part of the reason for the rapid rise was because Feiyang had already promoted the event in advance.

However, the list of restaurants participating in the event was announced just two days ago, so the surge in the number of fans in the live broadcast room of Zhonghua Building was mainly due to Mu Feng's fame.

The most obvious one is No.2 and No.3 located behind Zhonghua Building on the live broadcast platform. The number of fans of the two restaurants combined is less than one-fifth of that of Zhonghua Building.

Jin Mingwu and Hou Yongjie quickly prepared the ingredients needed for [Fried Substitute Crab].

Mu Feng immediately started cooking.

This [Fried Substitute Crab] uses sea bream pieces and eggs as raw materials, and uses a special cooking technique to make the taste of crab meat.

Mu Feng began to cut the sea bream into cubes.

Fans began to ask questions in the live broadcast room.

——Does Master Mu want to make fish balls?

——The fish balls should be cut into pureed meat instead of diced.

——I'm really looking forward to the dishes that Master Mu will cook next!

——It doesn’t matter, let’s take a look at the chef’s face value, I’ll reward you first, hahaha!

......

After only a while, Zhonghualou received a tip of more than 500 yuan. Of course, the tip was presented in the form of a gift.

It will not be converted into gold coins until the final statistics.

After Mu Feng cut all the snapper pieces into cubes, he used salt, pepper, cooking wine and water starch to prepare the paste.

Then, separate the egg white and egg yolk of the egg, add salt and water starch to the egg white and stir.

......

Mu Feng cooks in an orderly manner.

The number of fans and gifts in the live broadcast room continued to grow rapidly.

This [fried substitute crab] Mu Feng has practiced many times, so he can make it with ease.

Soon, Mu Feng scooped up the substitute crab that had been fried in the pot, and put it on a plate.

When Mu Feng put that [Fried Substitute Crab] in front of the camera, the number of fans in the live broadcast room began to explode again.

At this time, the number of fans in the live broadcast room of Zhonghua Building has exceeded 10.

Correspondingly, the total value of gifts received by Zhonghualou also exceeded 5000 yuan.

Almost equal to the sum of the number of fans and gift value of the other fifty restaurants.

Of course, it is just the beginning after all, so the head effect is more obvious.

Next, on the Feiyang live broadcast platform, all restaurants will be displayed in a rolling manner.

At that time, the corresponding data of other restaurants will start to increase.

In fact, it’s okay on the live broadcast platform, at least all the restaurants on it get basically the same display opportunities.

And at the scene, because the booths are fixed, the anchors will naturally respond to fans' requests to shoot more popular restaurants.

Among them, the most depressing ones are the two restaurants on the left and right next to the booth of Zhonghualou.

Because they are very popular on the Internet, they are arranged in order on both sides of the special guest Zhonghualou.

However, for these two restaurants, it is better to line up farther away!

Because, Zhonghua Building is like a radiant sun, covering the light of the two restaurants.

There are always a bunch of people gathered in front of Zhonghua Building, and as soon as someone leaves, others will immediately fill in.

The crowd of onlookers lined up in front of their two restaurants, completely blocking their booths, so that the anchors who wanted to shoot them couldn't find a good angle to shoot, so they had to go to other restaurants.

The booth of Zhonghualou is now like a place where Internet celebrities check in, but all the anchors who come to participate in the event count as one, and every time they turn around, they always come to Zhonghualou to take a picture.

At least, let Mu Feng or Mu Feng's dishes show their faces in their live broadcast room from time to time, only in this way can the heat of the live broadcast room not fade.

Mu Feng made a plate of [Fried Substitute Crab] and put it under the camera, and then made some again for the anchors to taste.

This is one of the most anticipated parts of the event.

Not only is there something to see, but the key is something to eat!

In order to facilitate the anchors to taste, all the dishes will be specially packaged in teacup-sized containers specially provided by the organizer.

Although doing so will destroy the beauty of the dishes, but for the sake of hygiene and convenience, it can only be done in this way.

However, there is already a finished dish set aside for them to photograph.

The anchors don't care too much if they have delicious food to eat.

Mu Feng's [Stir-Fried Substitute Crab] has just been opened for the anchors to try, and the whole dish was sold out in just one minute.

Mu Feng had no choice but to quickly make a few more dishes.

Even so, it still can't stop these anchors who are like reincarnated starving ghosts.

As long as a new dish is on the table, it is guaranteed that it will be eaten up in less than one minute.

In fact, if it weren't for the live broadcast now, the anchors would need to consider their personal influence under the watchful eyes of the public.

Otherwise, they are afraid that as soon as the new dishes are on the table, they will dare to take the dishes away with the plate!

No way, there are too many people at the scene!

There are more wolves and less meat, so you can't eat them if you don't grab them!
