Chapter 1
Jiang Qi remained sitting in the room, with the book in his hand having already turned to the last page.
"Congratulations to player Jiang Qi for obtaining [Character Card] x 1. Please check it in the card pack."
Another character card.
This time, Jiang Qi did not rush to open the system panel to check the cards, but first read Wei Ruyue's character book at a glance.
There were only three pages in total, with very little information. Wei Ruyue's character book only briefly introduced her background, and then there was the relevant information about the Chef King Contest that Jiang Qi had heard from the spectators in his memory.
After reading Wei Ruyue's book, Jiang Qi flipped through the books of other characters. They were all similar overall, and the character books were just background introductions.
Among the 30 contestants, some are for fame, some for profit, some really want to learn and become apprentices, and some simply like to join in the fun. No matter what their original intention is, their goal is the same - to win the competition and become the successor of the God of Cooking.
As for the specific gameplay of this book, it is all in the host manual.
Jiang Qi flipped through the host manual again and found that the reason why the host manual was so thick was because it was full of how to play the game.
Ten people nine feet, untie the bracelet, you guess my drawing, werewolf, who is the undercover, guess the song, grab the chair, shake the dice, fight the landlord, 24 points, Texas Hold'em and many other entertainment games that Jiang Qi had never heard of, and even a simplified version of the running group game that looked very much like his own creation. The host manual clearly describes in detail how to get points for different games, the types of games and the number of games recommended for different numbers of players, and the player with the highest points is the MVP of this game.
This is a very pure team-building book, just for playing, you can play however you want.
Throughout the script, the DM will guide the players through the game by playing the role of Huang Fugui, the host of the Cooking God Contest. For this reason, the host manual contains a more detailed description of Huang Fugui.
For example, his son passed the imperial examination last year and is now studying at home every day. He must eat the vegetable noodles he cooks every day.
For example, although his son and grandson like green vegetable noodles very much, Mrs. Huang hates it. This is because when Huang Fugui was a peddler, his family was poor and the best food they could afford was white flour. Once, Huang Fugui made some money by selling cloth before the New Year. During the New Year, the family ate white noodles for a month, which made Mrs. Huang vomit.

These are little easter eggs in the script. If players ask about them in the DM chat during the game, they can get extra points.
Of course, the biggest Easter egg in the script is what Jiang Qi saw in his memory. After the game, Huang Fugui told the players the truth about the God of Cooking and served each person a bowl of vegetable noodles with eggs, which was a little surprise.
That’s why the props included in this set include 30 bowls and chopsticks, a pot and an induction cooker.
In general, "MasterChef Contest" is a script with a high degree of freedom.
After Jiang Qi fully understood the situation of the script, he clicked on the system panel and opened the card pack.
Sure enough, the character card obtained was Huang Fugui.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Qi clicked to summon.
"Ding, congratulations to player Jiang Qi for summoning the one-star character card [Huang Fugui]. The character has appeared near the store. Please find it by yourself."
The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar, Jiang Qi immediately went downstairs and out of the store to look for someone.
Huang Fugui is an ancient person from a parallel universe. It is easier to find a person dressed as an ancient person on the streets of modern society than to find a foreigner like Old John. In just five minutes, Jiang Qi found Huang Fugui, who was wearing a silk robe and studying the menu, at the door of the fried chicken shop.
The owner of the fried chicken shop has seen a lot over the years and has seen many cosplayers. He wasn't very interested in middle-aged customers like Huang Fugui who loved to wear ancient costumes. He was just a little impatient that he hadn't gotten any results after five minutes of ordering Korean fried chicken.
"What flavor do you want, a combination, a whole chicken, or a set meal?" the boss asked impatiently. Just at this moment, the takeaway order came, and the boss turned around to look at the takeaway order.
Huang Fugui looked at Jiang Qi silently.
Jiang Qi understood, took out his phone to scan the code, and shouted to the boss who was looking at the takeaway order: "Boss, a single deluxe meal, sweet and spicy is fine."
"The sweet and spicy flavor is the basic one." Jiang Qi explained to Huang Fugui.
Huang Fugui nodded with a smile and kept looking around.
After getting the fried chicken, Jiang Qi did not take Huang Fugui back to the store. Instead, he found a noodle shop whose owner he knew, ordered a bowl of mung bean soup, and sat in the innermost corner, eating and chatting.
The things Huang Fugui had on him were very simple, a set of clothes, a jade pendant of nice color, a sachet embroidered for him by Madam Huang, and a purse containing 2 taels of silver and a dozen copper coins.
Jiang Qi briefly told Huang Fugui about the current situation, and Huang Fugui accepted everything well, and said that Jiang Qi only needed to treat him like Old John. As an ancient country gentleman with a relatively rich personality and distinct character, Huang Fugui did not need to be taught many things and could explore them on his own.
Jiang Qi was naturally happy that Huang Fugui was so cooperative and easy to talk to. As for Huang Fugui's job, Jiang Qi had already thought about it.
"The store is currently short of staff. If you don't mind, you can temporarily serve as DM. Don't worry about food and accommodation. I will arrange it for you."
"If someone asks, just say you were in the county theater troupe before. After the theater troupe closed down, you accidentally saw the job information I posted online, and came for an interview today. Now you passed the interview and are in the probation period."
The DM of this book "Chef God Competition" is Huang Fugui himself, and it is most appropriate for him to be the DM of this book.
"No problem." Huang Fugui agreed happily and nodded to indicate that he had made a note of it. "So, are we going to the store now?"
"No." Jiang Qi saw that Huang Fugui had finished eating the fried chicken, looked at his long black and shiny hair that would make many bald boys envious, paused and said, "I'm afraid you need to get a haircut first."
"Haircut?" Huang Fugui was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Jiang Qi's hairstyle and then at the noodle shop owner's hairstyle, and then he realized, "Yes, all the men here have short hair. OK, where can I get my hair cut?"
Jiang Qi took Huang Fugui to a small barber shop at the end of the alley where there was only one barber, Mr. Tony, to get a haircut. The barber skills of these Mr. Tonys in the alleys were usually not very good, but they were cheap. A man's haircut only cost 10 yuan, which was a breath of fresh air in today's barber market where the price was 30 or 50 yuan.
10 Yuan Tony looked at Huang Fugui's hair and was amazed. He exclaimed: "Brother, you really work hard for cosplay. You have kept your hair for several years, right? You have never dyed or permed it. You usually pay attention to hair care, right? Your hair quality is really good."
Although Huang Fugui didn't understand what Tony said, he knew he was praising him, so he said happily, "Just keep it."
"Brother, are you selling this hair? You're going to shave your head anyway, and this long hair, this good hair quality... I won't cheat you, how about 280? This is definitely a fair price."
As soon as Teacher Tony said this, Jiang Qi's heart skipped a beat.
The hair on your body is given by your parents. Jiang Qi saw that people in those costume dramas felt like their lives were in danger when their hair was cut. He was already surprised that Huang Fugui agreed to cut his hair so readily. Now Tony asked Huang Fugui directly if he would sell it...
Jiang Qi silently walked to the side of the scissors closest to Huang Fugui to prevent him from suddenly getting blood splattered on the spot.
Huang Fugui was stunned. Teacher Tony thought he thought it was too little, so he tried to persuade him, "280 is not low. The barber shop at the entrance of the alley gave 160 to a little girl whose hair was slightly shorter than yours the day before yesterday. I only offered this price because I see the quality of your hair. Other shops will definitely not offer as high as mine."
Huang Fugui reacted and showed a look of surprise: "Hair can be sold for money?"
"Of course, brother, you didn't know before? Oh, yes, we usually don't hire men to collect hair, so it's normal that you didn't know."
Jiang Qi:?
In Jiang Qi's bewildered eyes, Huang Fugui began to bargain with Mr. Tony, and the original purchase price of 280 was reduced to 330, plus this haircut was free. Mr. Tony was not angry, and he was happy to chat with Huang Fugui. He shaved Huang Fugui a standard buzz cut, and when Jiang Qi and Huang Fugui were leaving, he smiled and told Huang Fugui to come back for a haircut next time, and he would give him a discount of only 8 yuan.
Who could have thought that Huang Fugui had only been summoned for an hour, and hadn't even figured out what a mobile phone was, but he had earned his first pot of gold with his hair and eloquence.
“If I had known that hair could be sold for money, I would have collected hair when I was a peddler in my early years,” Huang Fugui sighed.
Jiang Qi: ...
Master, what a master.
