Ruined.
The brothers Hanyu and Kojima looked at the crowd of spectators with their heads downcast.
All I can say is that they were really unlucky. These two people are indeed very good at making fish sashimi, and they did learn from a famous traditional Japanese chef.
However, because they were reluctant to spend too much money to buy wasabi, they were discovered by Liu Pleiaxing to be shoddy and their reputation was ruined.
"I'm very sorry." Kojima and Hanyu bowed and apologized again. But at this time, even Fang Ze and Liu Subaru were too late to forgive him, because the surrounding diners already knew about it.
Although they can't tell the difference between wasabi and horseradish, it doesn't mean they are willing to be deceived.
Just like the shoddy beef incident that happened in Neon a few years ago, it involved many high-end restaurants and hotels. Many hotels across the country used beef imported from Australia to replace the expensive local Wagyu beef.
And for a long time, most diners couldn't tell the difference between Wagyu beef, known as a national treasure, and ordinary imported beef. In addition, they also used Vietnamese shrimp instead of Zhi shrimp, Chinese chestnuts instead of chestnuts imported from Europe, and so on.
An interesting phenomenon in the country of Neon is that they tend to set very high standards for themselves. There is no way for most companies to meet this standard, so in the actual implementation process, they can only be forced to lower the standards and pass off inferior products.
But even so, they are unwilling to change the standards. Of course, food radioactivity standards are excepted. Because there is no way to eradicate nuclear contamination and no money to prevent its spread, the Neon government can only get by by revising radioactivity standards.
"What happened?" At this time, the venue staff also rushed over because of the crowd gathering to ask what happened.
When the two neon chefs saw the staff coming, they felt that if they admitted that they were shoddy in front of the staff, it would have a huge impact on their reputation, so they went over to them directly, and then said to the staff, " I'm very sorry, because we have something to do, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue to participate in this food festival. But I still thank you very much for the invitation."
Before the venue staff could figure out what was going on, they saw the two neon chefs packing up their things and starting to leave.
By the time they asked what the two neon chefs had done, Kojima and Hanyu had already left. Adhering to the principle of doing more things than doing less, the staff only reported to the superiors that the two chefs had something to do. Unable to continue participating.
But I don’t know what considerations the person in charge of this food festival had. He actually thought about it for a while and replied to this staff member, hoping that he could find two other chefs to replace these two people and continue to compete. The media and the outside world cannot know about the food. Someone dropped out of the competition.
Find two more chefs? !
The official competition is about to start. Where can I find two more chefs
This staff member was deeply impressed by his superior's troubles, but he did not dare to say no.
After all, leaders are sometimes not very clear about who has made great contributions, but they will definitely remember for a long time who did not listen to his instructions.
So after the staff member hung up the phone, he turned his eyes and saw Fang Ze who was still behind the booth but had not come out.
The staff saw that the crowd of onlookers had almost left, so they entered behind the booth enthusiastically and greeted Fang Ze.
"How do you call your friends?" The staff member said as he subconsciously took a cigarette from his pocket, but when he was halfway out, he remembered that smoking was strictly prohibited in Xianghu Tower today, so he simply reached over to shake hands with Fang Ze.
"Fang Ze." Fang Ze didn't understand what the staff member was doing when he came to greet him, so he simply introduced his name.
"Mr. Fang Ze, right?" the staff member said to Fang Ze with a smile on his face, "I want to ask a question, since Mr. Fang Ze just pointed out that the two neon chefs were shoddy, he must be the same in terms of cooking skills. Not bad."
Although Fang Ze wanted to correct the staff member, it was the child Liu Pleiades who discovered that the two neon chefs used horseradish instead of wasabi, but because it was troublesome to explain, Fang Ze had no choice but to nod and acquiesce.
"That's it." The staff said to Fang Ze, "Are you interested in participating in our cooking competition this time? If you are interested, I can add your name to the competition list now, and you can You can participate in competitions with other chefs, and you might even have a chance to climb to the highest level, the sixth floor."
Forehead.
Fang Ze looked at this staff member and wanted to ask him why he was so crazy. How could he so casually invite passers-by to participate in such a formal competition.
Just when he was about to refuse, Liu Pleiades suddenly tugged on his clothes.
Fang Ze looked down and found a trace of desire in Liu Pleiades' eyes.
In the chef industry, there is no such thing as eating and waiting to die. Even if you can cook a very delicious dish, if you don't introduce new ones for a long time, you will gradually lose your reputation.
Although Fang Ze's world and Liu Pleiades' fictional world are both Chinese delicacies, in fact, after modern times, the Chinese delicacies in this world have changed a lot compared to those before ancient times.
The fundamental reason is that in addition to the increase in the types of ingredients, there is also an increase in exchanges between chefs from all over the world, which has led to chefs innovating at a much faster rate.
Many Chinese delicacies also have more or less regional food characteristics. Therefore, Liu Pleiades very much hopes to experience these different delicacies.
If he is just a diner, he can only taste the food on the first floor, and there is no way to go to a higher place to taste better food.
But if you become a participating chef, one part of the process is to taste the food made by other chefs at the end of the competition. You can taste a variety of food more conveniently than diners.
Since Liu Pleiades wanted to participate in the competition, Fang Ze didn't care, since he was idle anyway.
He nodded and looked at Lin Xiaoxin, who was still eating something unknown in the distance, nodded to the staff member and said, "No problem, we can participate in the competition."
"Really? That's great." The staff was very happy to see Fang Ze agree. He then asked Fang Ze, "Do you need an assistant or something? You'll be running out of time cooking alone."
"This doesn't matter." Fang Ze pointed at Liu Pleiax and said, "There is no problem at all between the two of us."
Hey, it's a child.
The staff took a look at Liu Pleiades and felt that the child was too young.
But it doesn't matter. Is there any age limit for chefs? Besides, it would be a good publicity point for a child to participate. Anyway, the honor of this competition is about everyone. As long as you don't poison the food, everything will be fine.
Speaking of poisoning the food.
The staff member squinted his eyes and thought for a moment. Because the ingredients selected by other participating chefs have been checked in advance, they can be guaranteed to have no problems.
But for this new group of contestants, they definitely cannot be allowed to contact and find ingredients by themselves now.
So the staff member said to Fang Ze, "You don't have time to prepare ingredients for the temporary competition now. We can provide it for you. If you need anything, make a list for me and I will immediately notify the warehouse to deliver it to you."
"Don't rush this, we haven't decided what to do yet." Fang Ze said to the staff, "You should register our information first."
"Okay." The staff member said to Fang Ze, "I'm going to get the registration form now. You guys think about what ingredients you need."
After the staff member finished speaking, he took two steps back. Thinking of something, he turned back to Fang Ze and said embarrassedly. "Well, because the ingredients we reserve in the warehouse are actually prepared to prevent other chefs from consuming too much ordinary ingredients. So there are no expensive or special ingredients. You can choose the ingredients later..."
"That's understandable." Fang Ze had also guessed a long time ago that the expensive ingredients prepared by the organizers usually belong to their own owners, and even if there are excess, they will not be taken out easily. After all, no chef can guarantee that he is cooking. There won’t be too many ingredients in small quantities.
After the staff left, Fang Ze looked down at Liu Pleiax and asked, "What should we cook in the first game? If we can only choose common ingredients, the choice will be too small."
"The secret of good food has nothing to do with the price of the ingredients, but whether the chef can make it delicious." Liu Pleiades said, "If the food is delicious just because the ingredients are precious, then what should the chef do?"
"so?"
"So let's make a dish of shredded pork with green pepper." Liu Pleiax nodded happily and decided what dish he wanted to cook.
Indeed, good common people and ordinary dishes.
Shredded pork with green pepper, one of the common home-cooked dishes, its evaluation is also recognized by everyone. It can be summed up in one word: popular.
But if the chef who makes this green pepper shredded pork is Liu Pleiades, it doesn't matter if it is popular or not.
Soon the staff brought over the registration form. Fang Ze took the registration form and wrote down the names of Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades.
In addition to the information, the registration form also needs to write down the restaurant to which the registrant belongs. Fang Ze thought for a moment and wrote the words "Ju Xia Downstairs" and the location was marked as Sichuan.
Well, generally speaking, no one would think of the Chinese Little Boss animation from Ju Go Downstairs, after all, how many years have passed.
Because the game was about to start, there was not much time left for Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades. They washed their hands and started making preparations.
Lin Xiaoxin, who was half full after a while, came over. When she looked up, she saw Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades who had changed into chef outfits.
"Hey, what are you two doing standing here?" Lin Xiaoxin was stunned.
