Xiaoxi spent the whole day preparing with the owners of the snack shops and dessert shops.
Noodle shops serve cold noodles, stir-fry restaurants serve crispy pork, casserole shops serve rice noodles in small casserole dishes, and spicy hot pot restaurants serve cold pot chicken.
Two pastry shops, easy to prepare, just bring whatever they usually sell tomorrow.
Xiaoxi designed all the snack packaging; it was low-cost but made them look high-end and delicious.
Xiaoxi isn't afraid of losing face or looking bad tomorrow.
As for Ye Zhongnan's assistant, Xiao Xi arranged for Xu Yongfang to be his assistant.
The other five middle-aged women were assigned to help out in the snack and dessert groups, respectively.
Then you won't have to worry about your family and friends.
The neighbors on Guangda Street, the elderly and mahjong players, were so excited when they heard that Ye Zhongnan was going to participate in the cooking competition at the food street the next day that they were just as excited as if they were going to participate themselves, and they all wanted to go and cheer him on.
They were also very trendy, imitating what they saw on TV, and made promotional materials for Ye Zhongnan, such as star light boards and close-up photos of Ye Zhongnan.
If you didn't know better, you'd think these old folks were going to become fan site admins to chase after celebrities.
Xiaoxi had a bright idea and made some promotional signs for the Guangdajie food, drink and entertainment street.
The next day, the Food Street Chef Competition finally kicked off.
At 10:00, the contestants entered the venue. The relatives and friends who came to watch the competition, as well as temporary tourists, had already filled the open-air competition area. Everyone was enthusiastic and couldn't wait to watch the competition.
Chen Xu, the head chef of that popular potato pancake shop, had started practicing various techniques a week in advance.
When he saw Ye Zhongnan, who had come to familiarize himself with the venue, yesterday, he was filled with fighting spirit.
He knew that Ye Zhongnan and Luo Yi had some close ties, and thought to himself: I must perform even better in the competition today.
Although the food street is Luo Yi's territory, he also invited many famous chefs from Shanghai to serve as judges.
At that time, Luo Yi will not be able to dominate the market, so he will hand over the first place to Ye Zhongnan.
After all, Luo Yi needs to maintain his reputation and can't ruin the brand of his food street. It's fair and impartial for the other chefs to act as judges.
Chen Xu had thought about so much when the contestants started entering the venue one after another.
Yesterday, Ye Zhongnan drew the last lot.
Ye Zhongnan only entered the venue after all the other contestants had set up their work tables and food counters.
Ye Zhongnan's entrance caused a burst of laughter from the audience.
More than 20 contestants also tried their best to suppress their laughter.
Because they saw that Ye Zhongnan's assistant was an older woman, and on the cart she was pulling was an ugly set of three iron pots.
Good heavens, what time of year is this, and they're still using this dark, unremarkable iron pot?
Look at the other contestants; the kitchen utensils on their worktables are gleaming and high-end, all developed with advanced technology.
Ye Zhongnan had long since developed a thick skin from running a tricycle stall on Guangda Street.
He was dressed in a well-fitting chef's uniform, even his chef's hat was so elegant, which further highlighted his handsome and unique temperament.
It seemed as if he hadn't come to compete, but rather to the dueling arena as a nobleman.
The audience erupted in excitement, with neighbors from Guangda Street raising up promotional signs featuring Ye Zhongnan.
Their shouts were deafening, making the participating chefs feel embarrassed.
Ye Zhongnan was thick-skinned, thinking that if he wasn't embarrassed, no one else would be. If you were embarrassed, that was your problem.
Tourists then discovered Ye Zhongnan's stunningly handsome appearance, and they joined the neighborhood crowd in a star-struck frenzy.
