In order to prevent theft and not affect everyone's reading, the main text of this chapter is temporarily placed in the author's words at the beginning of the article. Remember to open the author's words. The author's words are free, and the price of the main text is also preferential. In short, it is not a loss at all.
The following chapters are normal, yikes.
The Imperial Chef's Restaurant
Bai Yinuo had learned about the public information of those chefs while watching TV. They were either from big hotels or freelance chefs with a prominent background and excellent resumes.
Water flows to the low places, and people go to the high places. Although Bai Yinuo would not look down on his own small restaurant, he also understood that his small restaurant was not a good place for them.
Facing Ji Yuchi's suggestion, Bai Yinuo smiled and said, "Let it be."
After Bai Yinuo finished speaking, he said in a tone of praise: "By the way, the store's business is so good now, and you have contributed to it."
Ji Yuchi smiled and said, "This is my job."
After seeing the news, Ji Yuchi's fans came to Baiji Restaurant to see Ji Yuchi. Ji Yuchi already had a mature way to deal with this situation. After communicating with the other party, he used his eloquence to make the other party stay and spend money.
As a result, after eating the food, the fans couldn't walk anymore and spent real money, which actually increased the turnover of Bai Ji Restaurant.
Among them, the milk that was on the hot search had even better sales and was sold out almost immediately after it was put on the shelves.
In order to keep the food warm, Bai Yinuo bought a large electric heating cabinet that can hold dozens of glass bottles of milk. It does not require any manpower and can be heated up by plugging in electricity.
These glass bottled milks are processed based on fresh milk and come in walnut, peanut, red date and fruit flavors.
The photo of Ji Yuchi holding milk to promote his products is so magical that it has been made into an emoticon package with the caption: "Today is also a business day."
Almost every fan who comes to the store asks first: Is there any milk left?
Most of the time, there is no milk, because in addition to Ji Yuchi's fans, parents also like milk. Parents who fight for their children are much more powerful than these fans.
A customer praised: "The milk you sell is rich and fragrant. My child never drinks milk. In order to make him grow taller, I forced him to drink it. As a result, he now clamors for milk every day."
After hearing what he said, another customer interrupted and said, "My family member works in the quality inspection department. He thought this milk tasted so good that he was a little worried, so he tested it. The milk passed all the tests and has a very high nutritional content. My family member said that this milk is better than the fresh milk on the market."
After hearing what they said, Bai Yinuo smiled and said, "The milk in the store is limited. Once it's sold out, it's gone. But the link to the dairy factory's online store is also posted here. You can buy it online."
The customer shook his head and said, "I know, but if I can buy your milk, I still want to buy your milk. Pure fresh milk is a bit too monotonous. Your milk formula is very good, and my family likes it after drinking it."
Although this milk is the same as the movie emperor's, it cannot dominate the market alone and has to share the market with Laba porridge. As soon as Laba porridge was put on the shelves, it became the two most popular drinks in Baiji Restaurant, just like milk.
Laba porridge is free on the Laba Festival. Almost all those who have had Laba porridge become repeat customers and are not afraid of the high price at all.
The reason why the sea city is called sea city is because it is close to the sea. Being close to the ocean has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is particularly obvious in winter, that is, it is colder than inland areas.
This is not an exaggeration by the people of Haishi, but has a scientific basis. At the same temperature, the higher the humidity, the lower the perceived temperature of the human body will be, and naturally it will feel colder.
The winter in Hai City this year is particularly cold, the chill penetrates into the bones, bringing with it a sharp and biting chill.
Bai Yinuo warmed the porridge on the stove, and whenever a customer wanted it, he could quickly serve a bowl.
Many customers even make a detour to Baiji Restaurant to buy a bowl of Laba porridge to take to school or work. Some female customers with smaller stomachs don't like to eat too much for dinner, so they come to Baiji Restaurant to buy a bowl of Laba porridge, which is soft, sweet, and steaming hot, making people feel very healed.

In the company, it's break time.
Previously, Assistant Jiang's girlfriend sent him a test question. After finishing the test, Assistant Jiang found that he had passed the test, and happily forwarded the screenshot to his girlfriend. He didn't expect that he accidentally forwarded it to his boss, who also pinned the screenshot. After seeing his screenshot, the boss was a little surprised.
Assistant Jiang wiped his sweat and answered honestly: This is a test question for whether you are a straight man.
Assistant Jiang thought the boss would not care about this kind of thing, but he was silent for a while and then said, "Send me the link and I'll take a look."
As for why Sheng Han wanted to do the test questions, it was of course out of interest.
After he returned to China, his mother found him and said quietly, "Shenghan, you are so arrogant. Compared to your father, you are even better than him. I don't think anyone can compare to you."
After hearing these words, Sheng Han said speechlessly: "You think too much." In fact, the situation was completely reversed. What his mother said was very different from the real situation.
"But you've never had a girlfriend in your life."
Sheng Han thought that after they saw his appearance and knew his family background, they would get excited and move closer to him, making others stay away from him.
"I can't remember those people."
Qi Xue: “…”
Qi Xue knew him well. He was arrogant and frivolous, and never took others seriously. "Then I guess no one will make you remember."
Sheng Han lowered his eyes, fell into deep thought, and thought, yes.
Bai Yinuo was an impressive person, as if gathering the light around him. On the Double Ninth Festival, he asked immediately after he found Bai Yinuo staring at him because he also noticed her at that time.
Ever since the two first met, he had remembered Bai Yinuo with his photographic memory. After that, although Bai Yinuo was not by his side, his presence was very strong. His parents often mentioned Baiji Restaurant at the dinner table, and his younger brother also kept talking about how hard it was to get takeout.
All feelings begin with ignorant concern.
Although I can't say that I like her, but in his blank emotional life, this care can be considered a special existence.
This was the first time for him to pay attention to other people's circle of friends, cook for the first time, and even take a test for the first time.
Sheng Han randomly clicked on the test questions.
The first question is: Which of the following colors is attractive to men? The second question is: Choose the most expensive one among the famous big-name stand-alone gaming equipment, famous brand lotion, and famous brand face cream. The third question is the correct steps to put on makeup.
Question 4…
Sheng Han: “?”
"What kind of weird questions are these? Can you tell if someone is straight just by these questions?"
Assistant Jiang said: "This is the most discussed issue among girls. You know the most about it, which means you know your girlfriend very well."
After Assistant Jiang finished speaking, for the sake of rigor, he added: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Sheng, you don't have a girlfriend."
Sheng Han: “…” This assistant can't be kept anymore.
Since Xiao Yu came to Hai City, he has been running to Sheng Han's office all day long, and he can't be driven away. He was playing with his phone, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he walked over and looked curiously: "What girlfriend are you talking about? Tell me."
Sheng Han casually forwarded the link to Xiao Yu: "You do it."
After seeing this question, Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing: "Why do you want to do such a weird questionnaire?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
After Xiao Yu quickly answered the questions, he looked at the results and sighed, "It's so low."
Assistant Jiang took a closer look and was a little speechless: "... So 90 points is still considered low?"
Sheng Han was puzzled: "How can you get 90 points for this kind of question?"
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "These twenty questions are either about girls' common sense or about relationships between men and women. Not only do I have a sister, I've also dated several girlfriends. These are all basic questions. By the way, how many points can you get?"
Sheng Han had a blank expression on his face and raised his eyebrows: "How could I possibly do such a stupid question."
Xiao Yu said sarcastically: "That won't work. Girls nowadays especially hate straight men. If you don't know anything, you will be hated."
Sheng Han lowered his eyes and said in a neutral tone: "You think too much."
They said these topics were popular among girls, but Sheng Han didn't think so. At least Bai Yinuo didn't think so. There was no sign of disguise on her face.

On Friday, Su Momo came to Bai Yinuo's room specially.
Bai Yinuo was packing clothes and sorting things into categories. When she saw Su Momo coming in, she asked curiously, "Momo, what's the matter?"
"Boss, the second round of the Taste Hunting Night will begin tomorrow."
"Well, what's wrong?"
Su Momo said excitedly, "After the first episode was aired, you are now one of the most discussed contestants. Because it is not an open audition, your scenes tomorrow will be much more than the first episode. Let me put on your makeup."
Bai Yinuo originally wanted to say no, but seeing how enthusiastic she was, he reluctantly agreed.
"The competition is tomorrow, why are you putting makeup on me now?"
"Because I'm worried about a car accident tomorrow, I have to be fully prepared today." Su Momo clenched her fist and said, "Boss, I'm really good at makeup. I've taken professional courses."
Now she must let the boss see her shining points and become an excellent employee.
Bai Yinuo sat in front of the dressing mirror, Su Momo took out her set of tools and stared at Bai Yinuo's face carefully. After a long time, Bai Yinuo found that the person next to him did not move or make any sound, so he turned his head and looked at Su Momo in confusion.
When she saw Su Momo's appearance, she found that Su Momo's face was red like a sunset cloud, and she looked dazed.
"What's wrong?" Bai Yinuo asked puzzledly.
As the distance between Bai Yinuo and her became shorter, Su Momo silently took two steps back. After calming herself down, she stammered, "The boss is so handsome, I don't know where to start." Boss, don't get so close to her, she will feel embarrassed.
When Bai Yinuo saw her appearance, he couldn't help but smile, so bright and charming, which made Su Momo's face even redder.
"No, boss, stop laughing, otherwise I can't continue with this makeup." Su Momo patted her face, took two deep breaths, then picked up the tools again and walked closer to Bai Yinuo.
After carefully observing Bai Yinuo's facial features, Su Momo said, "Boss, you really don't need to wear makeup, not even lipstick, because you are born with red lips and white teeth."
Su Momo felt a little frustrated, and felt that she was a good cook but could not make a meal without rice. After careful consideration, she said, "The camera will absorb your makeup, and your facial features will become flat. I will add some highlights and shadows for you, and then add a lipstick color."
"good."
Su Momo's skills are very good and her technique is superb. After putting on makeup, Bai Yinuo lost some of her innocence and became more refined.
Although it was break time, Ji Zihuai was still busy. When Bai Yinuo and Su Momo came out, he was processing the materials for his apprentices.
Su Momo said with some pride: "Do you feel that the boss is different now?"
When Ji Zihuai heard her words, he looked over here in confusion.
"There is no difference." Ji Zihuai nodded, not caring at all, and then lowered his head to process the ingredients.
Su Momo: “…” How boring.
Fortunately, Ji Yuchi is much better than him.
Ji Yuchi was sitting next to the stone table, combing the dog's hair. When he saw Bai Yinuo, he said, "Did you put on makeup? Your temperament has changed a bit."
Su Momo said with some pride: "You have good taste. This is the photogenic makeup I specially prepared. How do you think it is?"
Ji Yuchi was more professional. He thought for a moment and said, "It's really good. If the lipstick color could be darker, it would be more impressive."
Su Momo wanted to change Bai Yinuo into better-looking clothes, but Bai Yinuo shook his head: "By then, we will all be wearing chef uniforms, forget it."
The next day, Bai Yinuo and others arrived at the National Exhibition and Convention Center on time. Although it was not an open audition, there were still many people in the exhibition center, and many people were sitting in the audience seats.
Bai Yinuo looked up at the audience and suddenly saw a conspicuous banner: "Boss Bai, fly with confidence!" Holding the banner were some young boys and girls.
This time, all the staff of Baiji Restaurant were mobilized, and Ji Yuchi also came to the scene wearing a mask.
Ji Yuchi saw the girl in the lead and felt that she looked familiar. After thinking about it, he understood her identity: "She seems to be the leader of my fan group. She came here to buy milk before."
They are Ji Yuchi's fans, why are they hanging banners for her?
Bai Yinuo was very curious, so he walked up to them and asked, "Is that me on your banner?"
The leading big fan said happily: "Yes."
"Come on, Boss Bai, take first place again. I am a fan of your career."
Bai Yinuo: “…”
Ji Yuchi: “???”
Ji Yuchi was a little confused and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Aren't you my fan?"
Did he see fans climbing the wall?
The big fan waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Brother, I will follow you again after you return to the circle. Boss Bai, can you give me an autograph? My mother likes you very much and asked me to get an autograph."
The fan originally wanted to see if Ji Yuchi was in the audience when she watched the show, but she was suddenly attracted by the most dazzling contestant. She came to her senses and felt her heart pounding. She felt excited again after a long time, so she announced to her family that she wanted to come to the show.
Her family was particularly unhappy with her star-chasing and hurried to stop her. When the big fan said she wanted to go see Bai Yinuo, her mother, who was the most opposed, was the first to agree.
Bai Yinuo has a delicate appearance, a gentle temperament, and seems non-aggressive. Parents like this kind of younger generation the most.
"Hey, that little girl is interesting. Go buy me a meal. If you can't buy it, I'll ask for her autograph."
After Bai Yinuo was called away by the staff, the big fan saw that Ji Yuchi had not left yet, so he lowered his voice and whispered: "Brother, don't be angry, I'm cheering for your boss. If your boss is happy, won't your life be better?"
Ji Yuchi: “…”
The reason why Bai Yinuo was called away by the staff was because they were going to draw lots. The competition system of the second round of the Taste Night has changed, and it will be a 1-on-1 competition. The judging system has also changed, and there will be five judges for each pair of contestants. After tasting, each judge will choose a dish, and the dish with the most votes will win.
When Bai Yinuo came to the backstage, she saw many familiar people. She was looking at others, and others were also looking at her. Since she walked into the backstage, all the contestants and staff had their eyes on her.
They were all curious about what kind of monster this person who scored 100 points was.
Suddenly, someone walked up to her and said calmly, "I will beat you."
Bai Yinuo looked up at the person in front of him. The other person had short black hair and blue eyes as bright as the sea.
Bai Yinuo thought of the information she had seen on TV. This person's name was Jiang Xinyi, a Chinese-British mixed race, one year younger than her. Not all mixed-race people are good-looking. The other person was a very good mixed-race person, combining all the advantages of both parents and picking the best ones.
Apart from her blue eyes, the rest of Jiang Xinyi's appearance does not look very mixed-race, which is very much in line with oriental aesthetics.
After hearing what he said, Bai Yinuo was not angry. He smiled and said, "Okay."
Jiang Xinyi had a rather impatient temper, and seeing her calm appearance, she was somewhat puzzled: "Aren't you angry when you hear me say that?"
"No." Because you can't beat me. Bai Yinuo silently swallowed the second half of the sentence, not wanting to provoke the other party too much.
Jiang Xinyi is a very fearless person. Although he knows that Bai Yinuo is very strong, he is not afraid of facing her. Before leaving, Jiang Xinyi left a sentence: "It would be great if I could draw you this time.
However, things went against his wishes. Bai Yinuo drew number 66 and will compete on number 65.
After she took the lot out of the lot tube, many people looked over there and whispered.
Sun Shang and Jiang Ming also entered the second round. After Sun Shang ate the crab roe noodles made by Bai Yinuo last time, although he lost, his heart knot was gone and his mood became much more open. He stared in the direction of Bai Yinuo and whispered to the person next to him: "I don't know which unlucky guy wants to compete with her."
After eating the dishes cooked by Bai Yinuo, Jiang Ming also understood her strength and was still frightened: "I don't know either. That unlucky guy is too miserable."
The second round of the competition is a one-on-one match, with the winner advancing to the national competition and the loser packing up and going home. This competition process can increase the watchability of the program, but it can be very cruel for some people, that is, those who draw strong opponents.
Among these powerful opponents, Bai Yinuo is undoubtedly the one with the highest score and the most feared. Most people are praying not to draw Bai Yinuo's lot, and Jiang Ming is the same. However, Jiang Ming is not particularly afraid, because he thinks he has good luck. He has been smooth sailing since he was born and grew up, and he thinks he will not draw Bai Yinuo this time.
After the staff announced the results, Jiang Ming looked for his contestant number 66. Following the staff's instructions, he came to Bai Yinuo and was stunned when he saw the familiar face.
"Are you number sixty-six?"
"Yes." Bai Yinuo asked back: "Are you number 65?"
Jiang Ming was shocked: I was the unlucky one.
After seeing Bai Yinuo, Jiang Ming wanted to say that he was not number 65, but the lot had already been drawn and the camera next to him was following him, so he couldn't go back on his word.
Jiang Ming took a deep breath and comforted himself. This time, the ingredients were prepared by the organizer, who set the questions. Maybe the questions would suit his taste but not Bai Yinuo's.
Next, the staff told them the theme of the dish.
"As society develops and becomes more modernized, so does food. It blends together and does not distinguish between you and me. In Haishi, you can eat all kinds of food from all over the world without leaving your home. But for Chinese people, local dishes and memories are always the cornerstone and soul, carrying the taste memory of Chinese people and permeating their dietary consciousness."
“The theme of the second round of the Taste Hunt Night is local cuisine.”
"Dear chefs, you come from all over the world, with different household registrations and experiences. The dishes you cook are not limited to Shanghai, but can come from anywhere. Next, please make your favorite local dishes."
When Jiang Ming heard the topic of the competition, his eyes lit up incredibly. This was an easy point question for him!
He is a native of Haishi, and grew up in Haishi. He grew up eating local cuisine and cooking local cuisine. Although the staff said that the variety of dishes is not limited to Haishi, most of the judges on the jury are from Haishi. The local cuisine he cooks must have sentimental bonus points, winning at the starting line.
Jiang Ming got 88 points last time. He didn't put much effort into the drunken chicken rice. This time he will do it seriously. He thinks he can definitely make up the gap between himself and 100 points.
Bai Yinuo was puzzled when he saw that the other party was so excited after hearing the question. Then he thought about his background information and began to understand.
This is indeed a disadvantage for her, but it is not a big disadvantage. I believe the judges will make a fair choice.
Jiang Xinyi drew someone else. When he saw that the lot he drew was not Bai Yinuo, he walked to Bai Yinuo with some disappointment and said, "I'll fight you next time."
When he saw Jiang Ming next to Bai Yinuo, he said thoughtfully: "I haven't competed with you yet, you can't lose now."
Bai Yinuo smiled and said, "Okay."
Although everyone was divided into groups, they did not do so based on the cooking time. Instead, they went on stage together.
The term local cuisine is a bit too broad and makes people miss the point. But if you think about it carefully, you can grasp the essence of the topic. The first is that it must be delicious, and the second is that it must have feelings and make a representative dish of your hometown.
This is a bit simple for others, and they can quickly think of what dishes to cook. But Bai Yinuo is a bit confused because she has too many hometowns. In her previous life, she was from the Longxi Bai family, but she did not stay in her ancestral home for a long time. She and her father went to Lingnan, Yanmen Pass, Jiangnan and other places, and then lived in the capital Chang'an. She is a Chang'an person, but strictly speaking, she is not a Chang'an person.
After thinking for a while, Bai Yinuo finally decided to cook a Jiangnan ancient dish. She had lived in Jiangnan for a period of time. Jiangnan ancient dishes pay more attention to technology and variety. Compared with spicy dishes and pickled dishes, they are lighter and more in line with the aesthetic taste of some people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
Last time it was an open audition and the organizer did not provide the ingredients, but this time the ingredients were provided.
Bai Yinuo listed the ingredients he needed and handed them to the staff.
Jiang Ming was going to make a famous dish in Hai City, Eight Treasure Chicken. This dish was complicated to make. If it was not done well, it was called a hodgepodge, and if it was done well, it was called Eight Treasure Chicken. This was his specialty, and he had made it hundreds of times, so he was very familiar with it.
He felt that he should be able to win if he took out the Eight Treasure Chicken. Because it was the preparation time, the atmosphere on the field was not tense. While he was happy, he turned his head to look at Bai Yinuo and found that the other party's table was filled with fresh chicken, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Why did Bai Yinuo also take the chicken? Could it be that she also knows how to make this dish called Eight Treasure Chicken?
Is he going to have a car crash with her like Sun Shang did?
Jiang Ming was slightly stunned, but after looking for a while, he found that the ingredients the other party had been different from Eight Treasure Chicken.
After a while, the staff suddenly brought a bag of mud and asked, "Are these three kinds of mud okay?"
Bai Yinuo grabbed some mud, rubbed it, put it next to his nose and smelled it, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Bai Yinuo was going to make beggar's chicken, which is a veritable ancient dish with a very long history. According to legend, after Zhu Yuanzhang lost the battle, he was exhausted and hungry, and he saw a pile of fire, mud, and an old beggar on the side of the road.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
The old beggar said, "I am roasting a chicken to present to the king." Zhu Yuanzhang ate the chicken and from then on his battles were smooth sailing and he became the emperor. He then named the chicken the Fortune Chicken. However, the common people prefer the more down-to-earth name "Beggar's Chicken", which has been used to this day.
The original beggar's chicken was cooked in the field using an earthen stove, but now this condition is no longer available, so we can only change some steps.
Bai Yinuo then asked the staff: "Is there a wood stove?"
Because the players' requirements are varied, there is indeed a wood stove in the venue.
The professional chefs knew what Bai Yinuo was doing, but the others didn't quite understand. Many people in the audience were watching Bai Yinuo, thinking that he would make something earth-shattering. Then they saw Bai Yinuo take out a bag, put on gloves, pour mud into a bowl, and start playing with the mud.
The waiters at Baiji Restaurant: “…”
Boss Bai's supporters: "..."
When the career fan saw this scene, he couldn't help but felt that the banner in his hand was a little heavy: "Why is Boss Bai playing in the mud during the game?"
The other fans thought hard but couldn't figure it out. After a while, one fan finally understood and said excitedly, "I know."
Others asked, “What?”
"Have you never played with those stress-relieving toys? They are soft and squeezing them is very stress-relieving. Now the competition has not started yet. While we are preparing the ingredients, Boss Bai is taking this opportunity to relieve stress."
"Why does Boss Bai feel stressed?"
The big fan seemed to be thinking: "Boss Bai came first last time, so she must be under a lot of psychological pressure. If she doesn't get a high score, we can't ridicule her, we have to support her to the end."
"Okay!" Other fans clenched their fists.
