Looking sideways, a handsome young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes in a well-dressed suit came over, and he was holding a pretty girl who looked very pure and even like a schoolgirl. Among the people Su Ming knew, only Ren Chen would change different women around him every time he appeared.

Why did this guy come? Who cares about fishing and cooking? !

"Brother-in-law, you are so amazing. You even know the chairman of our school!" Nangong Huang muttered admiringly.

After saying this, Su Ming remembered that Ren Chen's company specializes in education and training. Oriental Chef School, **** Excavator Technology Center, and several famous college entrance examination, test, and civil servant training schools are all Ren Chen's industries.

Strictly speaking, Ren Chen can be regarded as a leader in private education in Yangchuan City, and even in the national education industry, he has a certain status. Several of his educational units have been integrated and listed, passed the review, and are queuing up.

"Misleading students! Such a person can also run an education!" Su Ming was heartbroken, turned his head to look at Nangong Huang beside him, and then patted his shoulder, "I understand, you were like that for a reason, I can't blame you." His tone was full of sympathy, just like a loving middle school student, seeing an ignorant boy who went astray, not only did he not blame him for doing something wrong, but comforted him that it was the society that harmed him.

"Ah?" Nangong Huang opened his mouth and was dumbfounded.

In a word, Ren Chen had already walked up to Su Ming with the young girl, with a very enthusiastic attitude, and laughed: "Boss Su, nice to meet you, I didn't expect to see you here. Come on, let me introduce you, this is Nana, Nana, Boss Su is your boss's boss."

The young female student Nana called sweetly: "Hello, Boss Su, please take care of me in the future." From this point of view, it was probably the chick that Ren Chen asked Wang Hao to go through the back door and arrange for him to enter the live broadcast platform.

Su Ming responded indifferently. I really don't understand why Ren Chen likes to find these mediocre women when his financial strength is stronger than mine?

Not far away, a man wearing a tall chef's hat strode to the center of the banquet hall and used a long-handled hammer in his hand to hit a gilded bronze gong hanging in the center.

Dong... The sound of the gong echoed in the hall.

"This year's Huayin County Yangtze River Fishing and Cooking Exchange Conference has officially begun."

Ren Chen waved his hand slightly: "Mr. Su, it's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Let's sit together."

"Ahem, Mr. Ren, let's sit separately." Su Ming laughed. Ren Chen is not a hateful person. If it weren't for the previous Nangong incident, he would even be a little interesting. After the Nangong incident, Ren Chen took the initiative to withdraw. Although Su Ming didn't intend to embarrass him, he didn't intend to make friends with him.

Su Ming left a little ruthlessly, which made Ren Chen a little embarrassed. He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Mr. Ren, why are you so polite to him? He's not a big boss..." Nana pouted and said coquettishly.

"Is that what you should say?" Ren Chen's face sank.

...

After the opening, everyone took their seats. Su Ming's seat was relatively far back. Fortunately, the banquet hall was very spacious and the guests were relatively scattered. Except for the chefs who were going to show their cooking skills, all of them sat in the first row. The rest of the guests had their own tables and seats, scattered around the center of the banquet hall. Even if they sat in the back, they could clearly see everything happening on the central stage.

First, there was a speech by the leaders who were in line with the occasion. Several leaders from Huayin County came to the stage to speak.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, don't you want to invite a few chefs?" Nangong Huang pointed to the chefs sitting in the front row and said excitedly: "These are all famous chefs. Some of them have come to our school to give lectures. Their level is absolutely first-class!"

Su Ming didn't know how good these chefs were, but they sat there one by one. Even if they didn't say anything, their faces were full of "pride". At a glance, you can tell that they are definitely leaders with status and identity in the industry.

If we can hire one or two chefs of this level, it will certainly be of great benefit to the future development of Tingfeng Pavilion Hotel.

However, the monthly salary of chefs of this level is at least tens of thousands, and it is not that you can poach them with money. They all have the background of big restaurants.

Moreover, the more capable a person is, the worse his temper is. If he doesn't like it, he may not do it no matter how much money he is offered.

Of course, if he is willing to pay a high price, for example, 200,000 or 300,000 a month, Su Ming estimates that at least half of the chefs here are willing to follow him. But in that case, the cost is too high, and the gain is not worth the loss. Maybe he will offend the hotel behind the chef and become the public enemy of the industry.

If you can't hire a top chef, it's still okay to hire a few ordinary chefs. With wild boar meat, mushrooms and fish, Su Ming estimates that the business of Tingfeng Pavilion Hotel will not be too bad in the future.

After the leader finished speaking, there was a fresh scene, offering sacrifices to the goddess of the river.

The Jiang Shen in different parts of China are different. The Jiang Shen Niangniang statue in Huayin County looks a bit ferocious. No matter from which angle you look at it, the Jiang Shen Niangniang on the stage, who is in human form but has a long tail, looks like a Yangtze alligator standing up... It's just that her breasts are a little bigger, and there are two rows of four breasts on her chest...

The statue of the Fourth Lady Jiang Shen, the Alligator Niangniang, is placed in the front, and behind it are a row of various other statues. I don't know what they are. Su Ming is curious and asks Nangong Huang: "Do you know what those are?"

"Oh, these are the ancestors of the cooking industry." Nangong Huang said.

"Oh my god, you have so many ancestors in your cooking industry?" Su Ming almost laughed out loud. There were twelve statues in total. Does that mean that chefs change their ancestors every month in a year?

After Nangong Huang explained, Su Ming roughly understood.

There are many Chinese cuisines. From the geographical location, there are eight major cuisines, namely "Lu, Sichuan, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Anhui, and Hunan". According to the characteristics of the dishes, there are six major cuisines, namely "Palace, Government, Temple, Market, Medicinal Cuisine, Hall, and Countryside". Chefs of different cuisines have different lineages, and the ancestors worshipped by chefs of each lineage are different.

For example, some people worship Yi Yin, who "governed a big country like cooking a small fresh", some people worship King Zhan, the "inventor of chicken essence", as their ancestor, and some people worship Peng Zu... The most brutal one among them is Yi Ya.

Yi Ya was the exclusive chef of Jiang Xiaobai, Duke Huan of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period. He was also the first chef who knew how to blend the five flavors of salty, sweet, bitter, spicy and sour. However, he was most famous for more than the five flavors.

One day, Jiang Xiaobai said with his cheeks twitching, Yi Ya, I have no appetite these days. I feel uncomfortable eating everything. Do you have any solution?

Yi Ya was shocked. This is unacceptable. If the king is not good, the country will not be good. If the country is not good, the world will be ruined. Wouldn’t the people of the people be in dire straits?

In order to save the people of the people, Yi Ya did something worse than an animal. He steamed his fat son and made meat soup.

After eating, Jiang Xiaobai’s appetite was really opened, his spirit was improved, he could sleep every day, and he could climb to the fifth floor in one breath without back pain. He praised Yi Ya with tears in his eyes that you are a loyal minister...

Su Ming had heard this story before, Yi Ya offered his son. When I was a kid, I thought Yi Ya was a demon. When I grew up and thought about it carefully, maybe there was a hidden story. Maybe there was an uncle Wang living next door to Yi Ya.

Anyway, this is quite cruel, so from a certain perspective, chefs who play with knives have a murderous aura.

There are many chefs coming today, from different pedigrees. In order not to offend anyone, the organizer simply listed all the chefs they could think of and had a big gathering of ancestors.

After paying respect to the goddess, several leaders stepped down and the cooking exchange meeting officially began.

"Next, please welcome the chef of Pingchaolou in Jiangjin City, Master Sheng Weidong."

Pingchaolou has a great reputation in the province. It is an absolutely high-end dining club. When Su Ming and his friends were in school, they often boasted, "When I get rich, I will invite you to Pingchaolou for dinner."

A chef with a head almost as thick as his neck walked up to the stage and clasped his fists around. His assistant carried a large box and slammed it on the chopping board. Sheng Weidong opened the box in front of everyone to show it.

Su Ming stretched his neck to look over, thinking there were some delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

Unexpectedly, there were several compartments in the box, and each compartment was full of white rice... Chef Sheng Weidong, who opened the show, actually performed cooking white rice!

Cooking white rice... white rice... rice...

Su Ming almost spit out his mouth. I came so far just to eat rice?

In addition to rice, Sheng Weidong also prepared a lot of other tools, lotus leaves, bamboo tubes, and started to work.

The host introduced: Master Sheng Weidong used two kinds of rice today. The first one is Jiangjin's specialty small sticky rice. Due to the dry weather in Jiangjin, the rice is dried by natural sunlight and has a harder taste; the second one is Yangzhou fragrant rice, which is exactly the opposite of small sticky rice. Due to the humid weather in the south, the rice is dried by machine, the outside is dry, but the inside is very soft...

Sheng Weidong used lotus leaves and bamboo tubes to simmer and process the two different types of rice. The sticky rice was wrapped in lotus leaves and steamed in a steamer. The lotus leaves seemed to be coated with a layer of oil of unknown origin; while the fragrant rice was stuffed into a bamboo tube, wrapped with a layer of mud, and placed on the stove and roasted directly over high heat.

Because it was cooked in small quantities, the banquet hall was soon filled with the aroma of rice.

"What a master!" Su Ming sniffed, his appetite was aroused. He didn't expect that ordinary rice could be made so fragrant. The fragrance was like an invisible hook that hooked people's appetite.

You know, he is not hungry now. On the way here just now, the three of them bought a lot of snacks along the way.

"He..." Su Meng smiled foolishly, his saliva was already flowing out.

About twenty minutes later, the waiter brought a plate and served a bamboo bucket of fragrant rice and a small bag of sticky rice to each table one by one.

Su Ming just took out his chopsticks and looked up, and the table was empty. Nangong Huang grabbed the bamboo tube rice, and Su Meng held the hot lotus leaf rice. It seems that the lotus leaf rice is only enough for him to eat in one bite.

"Is there any law?" Su Ming was furious.
