Chapter 424 Do you also know Guan Yingxia?
"Sister, his master rarely goes a day without scolding anyone. Even if he has a good temper, smashing plates and bowls is commonplace. Do you know why he is a famous chef, but only has two apprentices, and both of them are stupid? Because the rest were scolded away, and only the two stupid ones can be tolerated! Oh no, now there is also a thick-skinned rolling knife who can also tolerate it!
"Sister, you should choose my second grandfather. He can at least curse softly and doesn't throw things, which is good for your heart. If you want, I can ask him now, and you can go back with me after the game." Seeing that the fat man didn't speak, Wen Xinyuan turned around and started selling to Zhao Xiaojing.
"Does your grandfather need apprentices?" Zhao Xiaojing asked with a helpless smile.
Becoming an apprentice to a famous chef is an opportunity that many ordinary chefs dream of. It is obviously a very important and serious matter, so why do they treat it like selling cabbages?
"Hey, sister, you don't know, good seedlings are hard to find! It's like it's hard to get into a key high school. People who want to get in are scrambling for it, but as long as your test scores are far beyond the admission line, or your usual performance shows that you can be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University, you will be vying for admission by several key high schools at the same time. They will promise you all kinds of benefits and rush to let you go to their school." The fat man seemed to know what Zhao Xiaojing was thinking and took the initiative to clear up the confusion for Zhao Xiaojing.
"So, sister," Wen Xinyuan continued, "at times like this, you have to screen the schools in reverse. When the amount of knowledge you can learn and the teaching staff are similar, you have to consider other objective factors, such as whether you are happy? Can you tolerate being bullied? To what extent can you tolerate being bullied?"
"My master isn't that outrageous... He just has a bad temper, but he doesn't lose his temper easily..." The fat man defended himself in a low voice with a lack of confidence.
"Then my second grandfather can be considered considerate, teaching according to the students' abilities, and has a very good temper!"
"Sister, there are no Fujian restaurants in Jiangcheng, but there must be Cantonese restaurants, right?" Seeing that he couldn't win the competition by personality, the fat man immediately found another way.
"Hmm...it seems to be true. There are no special Fujian restaurants, but there are Cantonese restaurants."
"Right! This shows that the people of Jiangcheng are quite receptive to Cantonese cuisine, but Fujian cuisine definitely isn't accustomed to the local climate. Otherwise, why wouldn't there be a single Fujian restaurant?"
You see, no matter where you study, your hometown is your escape route, right? If you learn Cantonese cuisine and don't want to stay in our restaurant all the time, you can open a Cantonese restaurant when you come back. But if you learn Fujian cuisine and don't want to stay in their restaurant, what do you do when you want to come back? People in Jiangcheng are not used to Fujian cuisine, so no matter how good your cooking is, it will be useless, right? Besides, our Cantonese cuisine is widely accepted, so you can develop anywhere, even if you want to go to the capital, Hong Kong or Taiwan, there is a place for you!"
"Hey, why is our Fujian cuisine not developing well? It is said that Fujian cuisine is not suitable for the local climate. That's because the local ingredients are not up to standard and the food made is not tasty. That's not the problem with our Fujian cuisine! It can only be said that you are too narrow-minded to say that Fujian cuisine is not developing well! Which high-end hotel nowadays doesn't use Buddha Jumps Over the Wall as a high-end dish? Which city doesn't have our Shaxian snacks? Fujian cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, as long as you learn well enough, there is no place where they can't develop? Do you dare to say that Jiangcheng doesn't have well-developed Fujian chefs?" Wen Xinyuan asked three questions in a row.
"I..." The fat man was about to refute, but his eyes swept across the big screen, and suddenly he was like a rooster with its neck strangled. Not only did he lose his voice, but his whole face turned suspiciously red, and his eyes stared straight at the screen.
Wen Xinyuan and Zhao Xiaojing followed the fat man's gaze and saw that the second group of contestants had already finished their competition amidst a heated discussion among the three, and the third group of contestants had already gone on stage.
Wen Xinyuan was still confused. He looked at the fat man and then at the contestant going on stage. However, Zhao Xiaojing's eyes had already lit up. She sat up straight and prepared to watch the game, and stopped talking to the two of them.
Guan Yingxia came on stage.
She got full tickets for the first Yangcheng competition just like Zhao Xiaojing, and they met again at the entrance of the competition area for the second competition, but Zhao Xiaojing had never seen her cooking skills.
"No, what are you two looking at? What happened here that I don't know about?" Wen Xinyuan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Zhao Xiaojing and the fat man.
"I saw someone I know. Let's talk later." The contestants on the screen had already started ordering food. Zhao Xiaojing turned her head to explain and continued to stare at the screen.
"What about you, Fatty? Your face is so red. Did you see someone you know too?"
"I... hey, who do you know?" After Wen Xinyuan said that, the fat man realized that Zhao Xiaojing was also paying attention to the players on the field. He hesitated and shifted the topic to Zhao Xiaojing.
"She's an acquaintance who competed with me before, a beautiful lady." Zhao Xiaojing glanced at the fat man. Although she thought he was suspicious, she wanted to watch Guan Yingxia compete more at this time, so she just said it casually.
"Which one?" Wen Xinyuan became excited when he heard the word "beautiful girl".
"The yellow dress, the most beautiful one."
"The one on the far left of the third row?" Wen Xinyuan immediately locked onto the target.
"Your acquaintance is Guan Yingxia?!" the fat man lost his voice.
"Huh? How do you know him?" Zhao Xiaojing turned her head and she and the fat man stared at each other in disbelief.
"Guan Yingxia?...The one who defeated the fat guy! That's right, it's not Chun, it's Xia! It's Xia!" Wen Xinyuan was extremely excited. "Sister, it's her! It's this name that defeated the fat guy!"
"It turned out to be her!" Zhao Xiaojing looked at Guan Yingxia in shock, who had already ordered the dishes and was calmly in a daze on the screen.
It turns out that she has a background, so does that mean I am a grassroots?
"Wait a minute! You said you competed together before? Where was it?" The fat man asked with his face flushed even more.
"In Jiangcheng... Hey, why in Jiangcheng? Isn't she a Cantonese chef?" Zhao Xiaojing finally reacted after being asked this by the fat man.
Since Guan Yingxia learned Taishicai, she should develop in Guangdong Province and should be participating in the competition in Guangdong Province, which is the closest area. Why did she go to Jiangcheng instead of nearby?
"Don't you want to avoid meeting the fat guy and fighting him again?"
"How do you know she'll definitely be able to defeat me? I haven't been kicked around by my master these past few years for nothing. Maybe she's afraid that I'll eliminate her!"
"Oh my, look at how confident I am, no..."
"The game has started!" Zhao Xiaojing, who had been watching the live broadcast on the big screen, interrupted the two.
Now even Wen Xinyuan's curiosity was piqued and he quickly shut his mouth. The three of them stared at the screen together.
On the screen, the staff had completed the delivery, the contestants were checking the ingredients, and the camera swept over the contestants one by one.
As the camera jumped, Zhao Xiaojing saw an acquaintance again, the younger brother she met yesterday. It turned out that he was also in Guan Yingxia's group.
Is it Jinyuan or Jinyuan Restaurant?
"This is also from your second-generation rich circle, right? Do you know him?"
