Chapter 380 No! It’s my fault!
At this time, compare him with Nie Xiuqi who had just come to the restaurant. His cooking skills were superb and stable, and even better than Zhao Xiaojing's in some aspects. Then, due to Nie Xiuqi's personality, Zhao Xiaojing took care of him a lot. And because Wan Yuyue was too naughty, Zhao Xiaojing paid special attention to her. As a result, two of the three people in the kitchen received extra attention, and the other one was inevitably neglected and alienated.
All these things added together made Yun Yongyuan look even more dim and dull, and it was only natural for him to doubt himself.
"It's human nature. Are you going to comfort him by attacking and dragging us down?" Wan Yuyue reacted immediately.
"I'm not trying to pull you down. I'm just trying to help you understand yourself more clearly." Zhao Xiaojing smiled at Wan Yuyue.
She was telling the truth, but not to criticize them or to put them down. She was just telling them in this way that they had both strengths and weaknesses. She was well aware of the weaknesses, but accepted them completely and didn't mind.
Wan Yuyue looked angry and squinted her eyes.
"What I mean is that everyone has different abilities and takes different paths. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. I am aware of them and fully accept them. As a fellow chef, Senior Brother Yun cannot learn the strengths of Senior Sister Wan and Senior Brother Nie, but he also does not have their weaknesses. Similarly, Senior Brother Yun's strengths and the things you can easily do are not something Senior Sister Wan and Senior Brother Nie can do. Who is capable and who is not can not be determined by a single assessment." Zhao Xiaojing thought for a moment and explained.
"But I certainly didn't do well enough. Senior Sister Wan's performance was out of control, so I kept watching her. Senior Brother Nie had previously told me privately that he wanted me to give him more advice, so I paid him a little more attention. On the other hand, Senior Brother Yun, you've been performing consistently, and I'm most confident in you, so I subconsciously ignored you and gave you the cold shoulder... But it's not because you're bad, it's because you're the least of my worries. In short, I have some problems too."
"No, no, I was overthinking it. I didn't know all this, and it was also my fault for not taking the initiative. Junior sister, there's nothing wrong with you. Please don't think like that. I, I..." Yun Yongyuan scratched his head, and now even his ears turned red.
"No! It's my fault! It's my fault for being so unstable! You two are both fine!" Wan Yuyue rolled her eyes, turned around and started cutting vegetables, not bothering to pay attention to the two of them anymore.
Yun Yongyuan wanted to laugh for a moment, but then he pursed his lips awkwardly.
"Okay, okay, let's not discuss who is bad. Anyway, Brother Yun, you should follow me and learn the chores in the kitchen during this period. I will leave these matters to you when I am not around. I believe in you, and you should also believe in yourself. I will pay more attention to your cooking skills in the future, so don't think I am too strict. As for Sister Wan, I will adopt a free-range...semi-free-range model." Zhao Xiaojing said sincerely.
She was originally planning to say that she would just let Wan Yuyue go, but Yun Yongyuan was a lesson learned before, and if she let her go completely, Wan Yuyue might cause trouble again, so she changed her mind when the words were on the tip of her tongue.
"No problem, no problem!" Yun Yongyuan waved his hands quickly and smiled foolishly. The worry that had been gathering on his brow for days finally relaxed.
Zhao Xiaojing smiled as well, unintentionally resolving another issue. After all, this matter did have something to do with her. She'd been so busy competing that she hadn't paid much attention to Yun Yongyuan, not even to his off-kilter state. Fortunately, things had come out of the blue.
However, there is still a doubt that needs to be confirmed.
"Xiaozhi." Zhao Xiaojing turned around and called in her mind while cutting vegetables.
[I'm here, Master.]
"Aren't you the smart store assistant? You've always reminded me to deal with anything that might affect the store. Senior Brother Yun has been so depressed for several days, his cooking is half done and half done, how come you didn't remind me?"
Xiaozhi can only control machines. Human emotions are extremely complex and changeable, and Xiaozhi cannot use his own abilities to control them. Even as a system, he can only sense the host's strong emotions and offer comfort and guidance, but he cannot control them.
So that’s how it is. This setting is quite humane?
"Then I plan to teach Senior Brother Yun how to manage the kitchen. Where should I start? Can you give me a plan?"
[Master, Xiaozhi has listed the following options for you: 1…]
This time, Xiaozhi came up with a solution quickly. Zhao Xiaojing took a look at it and randomly selected a save file, preparing to use it when she was free to teach Yun Yongyuan.
Just as she was getting back to preparing the food, Ouyang Yidan ran over. "Jingzi, that food blogger's number!"
Zhao Xiaojing quickly wiped her hands and ran to the service desk to answer the phone, "Lao Guo?"
"It's me, Da Zhuang." Da Zhuang's helpless voice came from the other end of the phone. "Have you guys announced the rematch for that cooking competition?"
"Oh Dazhuang, I thought it was Guo Gaoang. He hasn't been notified yet. Do you want to go and take the photo?"
"No, they asked me to be a judge. They said there are several competition areas, so I wanted to ask which one you were assigned to. I hope I can have the honor of tasting your cooking then, haha. If you haven't been notified, it will probably be in the next few days. The competition is this weekend."
"I'm guessing it'll be around these next two weeks, so thanks in advance for the inside scoop. But why are you here as a judge? Is this a new track?"
"No, I just happened to be a little free recently and my new video is almost finished editing, so I agreed. We were invited to the preliminary round last time, but I turned it down because I was busy at that time. This competition is large in scale, and all the famous food bloggers in Jiangcheng have been invited. One reason is that they have fans and can promote the program. The other reason is that it is convincing to ask these people to be technical judges. After all, they are a group of people who have made a living by eating for many years." Dazhuang explained with a chuckle.
"So that's how the technical judges are invited. Indeed, hiring people from Jiangcheng is more cost-effective and will also promote the event locally." Zhao Xiaojing nodded. "Then where will the regular judges come from? Will Li Zi and Lao Guo go this time?"
"Ordinary judges are voluntary applicants from the general public, as long as they meet the requirements. Lao Guo has returned to Yangcheng. Now that our new account is stable, he has found a house and is planning to ship the items directly over. Lizi wants to rest for a few days, and she is still considering whether to go or not."
"Then we'll meet again. I'll tell you when the divisions are divided."
That evening, Zhao Xiaojing received a notice for the rematch, but only the time and location were notified. This time, it was held in the Innovation Industrial Park in Jiangnan District, a place closer to the suburbs.
As for the competition area, it is said that the industrial park is large in area and all competition areas are located within the park, and the decision will be made based on the on-site draw of the contestants.
At the same time, in order to ensure the orderly conduct of the competition, the more than 800 contestants in the semi-finals will be divided into four groups, with about 200 people in each group, and the competition will be conducted in segments throughout the day.
