Chapter 428: Counterfeit Intelligence
The host on the screen had already received the list and began to announce the results after spewing out a series of advertising slogans specified by the sponsors like a machine gun.
As Fatty had expected, Guan Yingxia received ten votes, and Yu Yiyuan, who was in the first tier mentioned by Guan Yingxia, also advanced with full votes.
In fact, players in the same group can leave after the results of the competition are announced. Bai Tao will notify them of the next competition by text message anyway. However, most people come from far away and want to see the level of other players and listen to the professional comments of the judges. Therefore, more and more players sit in Hall No. 2, and it becomes more and more lively.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, Zhao Xiaojing, an outsider, was rapidly catching up on knowledge of the circle.
"This is Mao Tingxiu. Both her grandfather and father are famous Sichuan chefs. They started training her when she was in elementary school. However, since she can't eat spicy food very well, non-spicy Sichuan cuisine works better for her. Rumor has it that she became rebellious too early and is too aggressive. She is an authentic Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus. Her father and grandfather couldn't argue with her and couldn't do anything about her, so they opened a private Sichuan restaurant for her as soon as she graduated, so that distance creates beauty. So now she is her own boss, and you have to make a reservation with customer service a month in advance to dine at her restaurant." Wen Xinyuan pointed at the girl on the screen who was making fish-flavored eggplant with a smooth and swift hand.
"When cooking spicy Sichuan cuisine, she pays more attention to the balance between spicy and fragrant, rather than simply emphasizing the spiciness. Those who have been eating very spicy food for years have their taste buds damaged to a certain extent. It is difficult for them to get used to her dishes and they always feel that they are not spicy enough. That's why people say that her non-spicy dishes are better." Guan Yingxia explained.
"It is said that her father was a chef of Anhui cuisine. He met her mother halfway and changed his career for love to become a son-in-law and learned Sichuan cuisine. In the end, her mother failed to cultivate her, but the son-in-law became a famous Sichuan chef. He is the Sun Yangguang, you know? Now he is more famous than her grandfather Mao Yongfeng." Wen Xinyuan continued to add, not to be outdone.
"Mao Yongfeng is already 90 years old and can no longer cook. He can only cook two or three dishes a day. Even so, there are people who make reservations six months in advance and beg him to cook. He deliberately keeps a low profile. How can his fame be compared with that of Mao Yongfeng, who is in his prime and has the powerful Internet? People of his generation didn't use the Internet, but they built their reputation solely through word of mouth." The fat man still looked straight ahead, but couldn't help complaining.
"Sister, this, this is Luo Junlang! He's the disciple of Bai Zhengxin, the famous Anhui cuisine chef. Although he doesn't come from a family of chefs, he's a legend in the culinary world and his deeds are well-known!"
It was said that he was a school dropout. Because he didn't study hard, his family kicked him out to work. He was originally just a waiter, washing dishes. But this kid had a way with society. He first became familiar with the foreman, found out that the chopping board master was the most basic job, and then became familiar with the chopping board master. He secretly learned cutting and preparing from the chopping board master, and finally, after practicing for a while, he became a chopping board master himself. Not satisfied with being a chopping board master, he would secretly watch Bai Zhengxin teaching his apprentice while cutting vegetables. In the afternoon, when Bai Zhengxin's apprentice was practicing, he would stay overtime to learn from him. In the end, he learned everything Bai Zhengxin taught his apprentice and ran to show off his skills in front of Bai Zhengxin.
Bai Zhengxin has trained many disciples, and they had originally retired to the second line and were not planning to accept any more disciples. But when he saw that his things had been stolen, and the stealing was done very well, he realized that he was indeed a talented player. So he had to accept him as his last disciple. In just a few years, he surpassed his senior brothers and sisters. Before this competition, they had a competition, and he won in the end and represented the others to participate in the competition.
Isn't it legendary? He's a perfect example of a loser's comeback. Now, many young people with dreams of becoming chefs are targeting him! After all, he can even become a famous chef's most accomplished apprentice by stealing their skills. "After being unwittingly attacked by Guan Yingxia and the fat man, Wen Xinyuan curled his lips, gathered his strength, and once again pointed at the person on the screen to explain science to Zhao Xiaojing.
"It's not stealing in the strict sense. A famous chef's dishes are full of details. There are a hundred ways to hide it so that he won't learn anything. What's more, Baiji Restaurant has thousands of customers a day, and he also has the job of cutting and preparing the food. If he can't finish the work assigned to him, he won't be able to learn while cutting vegetables. Besides, the restaurant's kitchen is so big, if he is moved away from us, he won't be able to see anything. Bai Zhengxin is very smart and his character has always been like this. He won't take the initiative to help or teach others, but he will definitely leave opportunities for those who want to learn. Luo Junlang just seized this opportunity." After Wen Xinyuan finished gossiping, Guan Yingxia and Zhao Xiaojing resumed the popular science.
"Besides, he dropped out of school, not because he was kicked out by his family to work. He dropped out before finishing junior high school, so he is still considered a child laborer. Which place would dare to hire him? He was washing dishes in his own small restaurant, and he asked the chef hired by his family to teach him how to cut vegetables. He cut vegetables for two years, and only after he turned sixteen did he apply for a chopping board position at Bai Zhengxin Restaurant! And it was because he was young. When Bai Zhengxin heard that he had only practiced for two years, he thought he was talented and hired him, okay?" The fat man turned his head, quickly glanced at Guan Yingxia, and then gave Wen Xinyuan a look of disgust.
"Where did you get this fake intelligence? None of it is accurate. It seems like you are committing fraud when you talk about the background of each character." Zhao Xiaojing was very amused.
"Uh, this, this... I'm just trying to make the story more attractive and make you enjoy listening to it. I don't care if it's a knockoff or not. And how do you know that what the fat guy knows is true? Is it possible that he also heard it, and what he heard is a knockoff?" Wen Xinyuan blushed.
"Even if it's also a knockoff, mine is a high-quality imitation with logical support. Yours is purely a Chanel sold on a street stall, ridiculously fake." The fat man exposed it without mercy.
Wen Xinyuan was speechless again.
Seven groups finished competing in the morning, and Guan Yingxia, who arrived the latest from the four-person group, had already watched the complete competitions of three groups of players.
Due to the ten-minute cooking time limit, most of the contestants made common stir-fries or steamed dishes. Most of them were relatively common, and the few uncommon ones were nothing special. Even the contestants who wanted to understand the level of their opponents felt a little tired and left one after another.
"Are you going back today? It seems that this place provides accommodation for the qualified contestants." Zhao Xiaojing glanced at the time and turned to ask the other three.
The rest of the games looked pretty much the same, and it was almost time for lunch.
"I'll ask about the next match time. If it takes more than three days, I'll go back, otherwise it will delay things. Sister Xia, Sister Zhao, are you going back?" Wen Xinyuan said.
