After tasting more than 20 dishes, when they came across one that tasted particularly good, the leader of the mountain service only nodded slightly and did not say a word. Now he suddenly opened his mouth to ask.
Secretary Pengcheng looked at Song Shanchuan and said with a smile, "Hey, boy, how do you make this dish?"
Although Song Shanchuan was shy, he was not afraid of the stage. He spoke calmly: "I used grape red wine and beef brisket with tendons. I fried it first, then stir-fried it, and finally added red wine. I put in rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. I boiled it over high heat and then turned down the heat."
"If you want to eat it in a Japanese way, you can add carrots and potato cubes and eat it with white rice. If you want to eat it in a Western way, you can have mashed potatoes or pasta with it."
The middle-aged man listened with a smile, and when she finished speaking, he asked again: "Are you familiar with Western food as well?"
"I'm not too familiar with it, but I've studied it." Song Shanchuan answered honestly: "I hope to combine Chinese cuisine with Western cuisine and bring out the advantages of each."
"Very good." The man said nothing more and waved his hand to signal to continue.
It seemed like just a very short episode, but Shen Subai seemed to be thinking about something, thinking that maybe Song Shanchuan's chance had finally come.
After tasting all the dishes, it will take some time to wait for the results of the competition, and now the chefs can step down.
Song Shanchuan ran all the way to Lin Cuiping, looking at her with bright eyes: "Cuiping, I noticed the cooking method of the French chef. Can I cook Western food for you when I get back?"
Lin Cuiping raised her chin proudly: "Wait until you win the championship, I only eat champion dishes!"
Seeing this ecstatic look, Xie Yunshu wanted to pinch her mouth, but Song Shanchuan enjoyed it very much. He quietly held Lin Cuiping's hand and scratched her palm: "I will try my best."
Lin Cuiping coughed twice, her usual thick skin turned red, and then she whispered in Song Shanchuan's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Wait until we get back. If you want to win the championship, I'll let you kiss me as much as you want after we get back."
Anyway, they would get the marriage certificate after returning this time, so she didn't care and was even looking forward to it.
Song Shanchuan's eyes lit up, like the black dog raised by Xie Yunshu seeing a bone. After being together for so long, under Lin Cuiping's "training", it has gradually transformed from a puppy into a wolf dog.
In addition to adhering to the last step, sometimes even Lin Cuiping couldn't stand it anymore. She secretly thought that her man was also very strong!
As they were talking, a worker came hurriedly from behind, walked up to Song Shanchuan and said in a low voice: "Comrade Song, our minister would like to invite you over."
minister?
Several people were stunned. They all knew the minister's rank. Why would such a person look for Song Shanchuan?
Shen Su's mind flashed back to the young man in the mountain suit just now, and then he smiled slightly and said: "Shanchuan, go, it's our honor to serve the country."
Song Shanchuan frowned slightly, knowing there was something behind his words, then stood up and followed the worker to the office at the back.
Lin Cuiping was a little anxious. She asked in a low voice: "Chen Subai, isn't the minister a high-ranking official? Why are you looking for Shanchuan? We are just participating in a chef competition, and we haven't made any big mistakes..."
Shen Subai smiled in an unfathomable way: "Good thing."
Xie Yunshu glanced at her, then pinched the soft flesh around her waist: "Stop pretending, talk nicely!"
Shen Subai sighed: “If my guess is correct, Shanchuan may be going to Jingbei.”
…
About twenty minutes later, Song Shanchuan finally came out from behind with a complicated expression on his face. After seeing Lin Cuiping, he first held her hand, then shook his head and nodded, which made Lin Cuiping anxious.
"Why don't you say something? Isn't it good?" Lin Cuiping pinched her and said, "Hurry up and say it!"
Before Song Shanchuan could speak, the host of the chef competition came on stage with the microphone: "Now please invite the fifteen contestants to the stage. We will announce the champion, runner-up and third place, and present prizes and medals to you!"
Song Shanchuan quickly stood up, gave Lin Cuiping a reassuring smile, and then hurried onto the stage.
Lin Cuiping no longer had time to think about what had just happened. She stared at the stage nervously, waiting for the host to announce the final result.
"The third place winner of this chef exchange competition is Chef Li Zhang from Chuancheng!"
There was applause from the audience. The prize was a medal worth 500 yuan.
"The runner-up is Mr. Valmont from France!"
The blond foreigner came up to the stage with a smile and said happily in French: "I love you!"
The prize was 800 yuan and a medal. In addition, in order to show the friendly relations between China and France, the director of the Pengcheng Chemical Bureau personally gave her a piece of Chinese embroidery.
At the last and most tense moment, Lin Cuiping held Xie Yunshu's hand uncomfortably and prayed loudly: "Shanchuan, you must save Shanchuan!"
The host smiled and said, "The final champion is Mr. Song Shanchuan from Haicheng, who is also the winner of the Hangzhou Chef Competition! His red wine stewed chicken has won unanimous praise, a perfect combination of Western and Eastern delicacies!"
The applause lasted for a long time. Lin Cuiping let go of Xie Yunshu's hand, stood up and shouted loudly: "Shanchuan, you are the best chef!"
Song Shanchuan looked at her through the crowd, shy and gentle as always, and his eyes were so gentle that they melted, just like the first time he saw her.
놛 was hiding in the corner. She jumped up and patted 놛's shoulder. Her big eyes were brighter than the stars. She said, "From today on, I will be 놆Manager Lin. You have to listen to me and not refute me. But 놆I will protect you, understand?"
From that day on, she loved the moon. She used to think it was out of reach, but God was kind to her and let her embrace the moon.
The host on the stage was still talking: "The champion of our chef competition this time will receive a prize of 1,200 yuan, a medal, and a large color TV sponsored by the Panda TV manufacturer!"
A big color TV! Everyone was shocked, and all looked at Song Shanchuan with envy. They only knew that the champion would get a mysterious prize, but they didn't expect that he would get a color TV!
Song Shanchuan looked at Lin Cuiping and saw her using her lips to say to him, "I'll let you kiss me when we get back!"
The crowd gradually faded away, and Lin Cuiping finally rushed over and hugged Song Shanchuan, jumping up and down: "Shanchuan, you are so awesome, I love you so much!"
Xie Yunshu laughed along, leaning on Shen Subai's shoulder to watch her make a fuss. After a while, he finally remembered: "By the way, Shanchuan, what did the director want to talk to you about just now? Do you like the food you cook?"
Lin Cuiping also remembered, she let go of Song Shanchuan: "Hurry up, tell me, what's going on?"
