"Then how do you evaluate the cooking skills of the chef you hired?"
After the bet, Sha Zhu suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but say, "I can't rely on you to judge me. If you say my cooking skills are not as good as others, then I lose?"
"If that's the case, I won't accept it."
"I know you're not convinced."
Xu Damao certainly knew that Sha Zhu had a stubborn temper. How could it be so easy to make him admit defeat?
However, this doesn't mean that he has no other options. Xu Damao continued, "Isn't there someone here who has better cooking skills than you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu's eyes involuntarily fell on Jia Dongsheng.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jia Dongsheng was enjoying watching the fun when he discovered that he was also involved in it.
"Dongsheng, how's the cooking skill of the chef I found? Actually, I don't know if it's better than Sha Zhu's, but I think it's definitely not worse than Sha Zhu's."
Xu Damao said, "When the time comes, you will be the judge. After all, you are very familiar with Sha Zhu's cooking skills. And when the time comes, you can try the cooking of the chef I hired and give an evaluation of who is better."
"Silly Zhu, how about this arrangement? If you lose, will you be satisfied?"
"Of course I accept Dongsheng's judgment."
Sha Zhu still gave Jia Dongsheng face and looked at him seriously: "Dongsheng, then I'll leave the culinary judging to you, how about that?"
"You guys trust me so much, it puts a lot of pressure on me."
He said this on the surface, but he disagreed in his heart. He was just making a simple judgment on two people whose cooking skills were not as good as his. Isn't that simple?
In his previous life, after winning the World Cooking Championship, he also served as a judge in cooking competitions. He was very familiar with this.
"Dongsheng, there's no pressure. Just say what you mean. We can accept who wins and who loses."
Xu Damao wanted Sha Zhu to bow his head in front of him, and to make Sha Zhu bow his head and admit defeat openly, just because, this time, he was really confident.
"Okay, that's settled then."
Jia Dongsheng was not polite and said with a smile: "It seems that this will be an exciting competition."
"Oh, I really want to ask for a leave now. To be able to make Xu Damao place such a big bet, it seems that he is really good at it."
Having said that, Sha Zhu is still very confident. His cooking skills are not bad. Although he cannot compare with Jia Dongsheng, it does not mean that others can surpass him.
"You can't ask for leave. This is a critical period for you. You'd better clean the toilet honestly."
Hearing that Sha Zhu was actually thinking of asking for leave, Yi Zhonghai immediately stopped him and said, "Don't let anything go wrong here at this critical moment before we go back to the kitchen."
"I understand, uncle."
Sha Zhu was still very grateful for Yi Zhonghai's concern.
"By the way, Damao, let me explain something first." Jia Dongsheng suddenly remembered something and spoke.
"What does it mean?"
This sentence made Xu Damao a little puzzled, and he looked at Jia Dongsheng.
"The chef you hire for your wedding banquet can't be one your father-in-law helps you find. Otherwise, there's no point in comparing them."
Jia Dongsheng has to say this in advance. After all, the connections of a rich man are still very strong. Just look at the fact that he can still get a whole lamb. It is not easy to find a top chef.
Although Sha Zhu's abilities are quite good, he is only at the level of a bottom-tier chef in some restaurants, and is still a long way from being a truly top chef.
"Of course, this chef was found entirely through my own connections and has nothing to do with my father-in-law."
Hearing this, Xu Damao immediately patted his chest and made a promise, and continued: "This chef is also from our factory."
"Our factory?"
Not only did Jia Dongsheng get stunned by this, but Sha Zhu also looked over in confusion: "Xu Damao, you've been drinking, right? Besides Dongsheng, who else in the entire steel mill can cook as well as me?"
"Haha, Shazhu is so arrogant."
Xu Damao burst into laughter. "Our steel rolling mill doesn't just have the main plant, we also have branch plants."
"Branch factory?"
Sha Zhu also laughed: "You really are daydreaming. There's no chef better than me in the main factory, how can you expect there to be one in the branch factory?"
"Don't be so stubborn. On July 1st, I first showed the movie at our factory. After that, I went to the branch factories to show movies several times. It was at the machine repair factory that I met a top chef."
At this point, Xu Damao looked at Jia Dongsheng: "Of course, this top level cannot be compared with Dongsheng, but..."
At this time, Xu Damao turned his gaze to Sha Zhu again, with a slight curl of his lips, as if in disdain: "Compared to your cooking skills, I can still compare."
"It's just that my level is limited, so I can't tell which one of you is better, but Dongsheng can definitely tell."
“There are actually people like this in the branch factory.”
Sha Zhu fell into silence. He was under a lot of pressure. Deep down, he didn't want to admit defeat in front of Xu Damao, but now the situation was really uncertain.
"Da Mao, where is the machine repair shop and what is the name of the chef?" Why does the name of this factory sound so familiar to Jia Dongsheng?
It felt like déjà vu and I couldn't help but ask.
"The machine repair shop is near the eastern suburbs. It's not very big, with about a thousand people. The chef's name is Nan Yi."
"Nanyi?"
As soon as this name came out, Jia Dongsheng's mind lit up. He was very familiar with this name.
In my previous life, I had time to watch several period dramas, mostly for the chefs in them. Among the most famous chefs was the name Nan Yi.
I remember it was a period drama called "Man is Iron, Rice is Steel". Nan Yi seemed to have become a chef for a state banquet in the end.
As to whether he was the head chef of the state banquet, Jia Dongsheng couldn't quite remember. But if he wasn't the head chef, even if he was just a kitchen helper, it was already quite impressive.
The state banquets in the 1980s and 1990s were different from those in later generations. There were really a lot of kitchen helpers for state banquets in later generations. The head chef of any high-end restaurant in Beijing had served as a kitchen helper for state banquets. This was not because of his cooking skills, but because of his connections.
As I said, the world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.
Being a kitchen helper at a state banquet is all about social skills and helping to improve one's image.
However, Nan Yi did not get into the state banquet based on social connections, but on his real ability.
This time, Sha Zhu might really be in trouble.
Sha Zhu has a very high talent for cooking, but the pity is that he has only a short time to learn from his master. Nan Yi, on the other hand, comes from a family that runs a restaurant, and this guy is very devoted to cooking.
Not only can he clean the toilet, but he can also use his mouth to cook spiritual food for the workers. In this regard, Sha Zhu is far inferior.
This wedding banquet is really interesting.
At the same time, Jia Dongsheng felt that Nan Yi was being wasted in the machine repair factory. It would be more interesting if he could be transferred to the main factory.
