The venue on the second floor looks much more formal than the first floor. Every chef has a wide space where he can safely perform.
This is also because there are not many chefs on the second floor. Otherwise, there would definitely not be enough space for everyone on the first floor.
The layout on the second floor is also different from that on the first floor. On the first floor, the chefs’ booths circle around the venue, while on the second floor, they are lined up. Opposite are the diners’ seats. Any diner can clearly see this. You can see the chefs cooking.
Although Fang Ze didn't know how many chefs there were on the first floor, there were only three chefs who were promoted. There are even fewer places on the second floor, and only two chefs can advance.
In addition to Fang Ze and others, the chefs on the second floor at this time also had seven other chefs who were directly escorted to the second floor, a total of ten people.
Although it seems that the probability of advancement is higher than on the first floor. But the difference on the same floor is that the chefs on the second floor are all famous chefs. It is not an easy thing to stand out among these famous chefs.
Of course this is for other people.
"That one seems to be Chef Song from Songyue Pavilion." The apprentice of the seafood chef who came in with Fang Ze and others pointed at a short, fat middle-aged chef in the distance and shouted excitedly.
"Never heard of it." Fang Ze said calmly.
"Um. Chef Song is the top chef who always appears on variety shows. CCTV specially invited him to do the show."
"Oh, I still haven't heard of it." Fang Ze said, grabbing the kid's shoulders and dragging him to the competition venue.
"How could you not have heard of his name?" The boy still looked incredulous. Because Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades were relatively young, he lacked a layer of awe and basically spoke to Fang Ze and the others in the same tone as he would talk to his peers.
"Any chef who watches food programs should know his name. He appears on the TV station as a guest every now and then."
"You said I was a chef." Fang Ze pointed to himself and said, "I am a doctor, not a chef, so I don't know how normal it is."
After saying this, Fang Ze didn't wait for the boy to recover from the shock that Fang Ze was a doctor. He pointed at Liu Pleiax and said, "He is a chef, but he has never watched a food show, so He doesn’t know either.”
"And." Fang Ze thought for a while, and caught Lin Xiaoxin who was taking pictures everywhere out of curiosity, and then asked Lin Xiaoxin, "I remember you love watching food shows, don't you know who that fat guy over there is?" ?"
"What does loving watching food programs have to do with knowing who it is?" Lin Xiaoxin replied with a confused look on her face without even looking over.
"Why doesn't it matter?" The young chef apprentice looked incredulous.
"Eh." Lin Xiaoxin replied incredulously, "Isn't the point of watching food shows just to see the food? Why do you need to get to know the guests?"
After listening to Lin Xiaoxin's words, the young man was completely speechless. He watches food programs every day and reads cooking-related books, in order to one day become a top chef who can rely on fame to earn a living, participate in various high-looking food programs, and stay away from the fume-smelling kitchens of restaurants.
But he didn't expect that the first two people he met, who could be called idols, were about the same age as him but had amazing cooking skills. One was a doctor, not a chef at all, and the other was even more shocking.
Surprisingly, he was meowing a thirteen-year-old kid who never watches food programs.
Why is this world so unfair
"Don't think so much." Fang Ze could see that the boy was shocked, so he patted his shoulder and comforted him, "You have to know. The cruelest thing in the world is that you only understand the original decision after working hard. The key to success is talent, not sweat.”
When the bowl of poisonous chicken soup was poured down, the young chef's face immediately showed despair.
Does he mean that I don't have the talent to be a chef
But just when he was about to give up on his career as a chef, Fang Ze's voice continued to come.
"I still don't know your name. Tell me your name."
"My name is Sun Mi, everyone calls me Mimi."
"Then we will call you Mimi from now on." Fang Ze said to Mimi, "Your name is very nice. I think I can hear your name on CCTV programs in the near future."
"Is it served as a dish?" Mimi replied listlessly.
"You have to have a little confidence in yourself." Fang Ze said to Mimi, "You have to learn more from me. For example, I am quite confident in myself."
As Fang Ze spoke, he pointed at Chef Song over there and said, "Do you want to believe that we can beat Chef Song to advance today?"
"There should be no problem in advancing, but it will be a little difficult to beat Chef Song." Mimi said weakly, "Chef Song is a celebrity who often appears on CCTV. Not to mention his good cooking skills, even if he is today When he brings out a bowl of white rice, those foodies and media people will give him a high score because of his fame.”
"So this is the gap between you and me." Fang Ze pretended, "Let's make a bet. If I can beat Chef Song today, then you have to promise that you will definitely let me hear your name on CCTV in the future. .”
"If you can really win against Chef Song today, I will promise that within five years, you will hear my voice on CCTV's food program." Mimi's young temper was aroused by Fang Ze
"Have ambition." Fang Ze nodded, "With such ambition, there is no need to worry about not being able to eat chicken in the future. No, you can't become a chef."
Fang Ze almost said it was wrong, but quickly corrected himself, and then led everyone to the place where the contestants were cooking as if nothing had happened.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Although Mimi drank a bowl of poisonous chicken soup from Fang Ze, after all, young people can recover very quickly when encountering a blow.
At this moment, he has begun to fantasize about what if Fangze really defeats Chef Song, does that mean that he can really be a guest on CCTV programs in the future
So now Mimi was eager to let Fang Ze see his cooking skills.
"Well, let me think about it." Fang Ze thought for a while, although Liu Pleiaxing didn't say what he wanted to cook. But in fact, Fang Ze had already guessed it. After all, there are not many lobster dishes in the Chinese restaurant.
The most famous one is probably the Yunlong fried shrimp.
This is the dish Liu Pleiades came up with when he was fighting against a chef in the dark culinary world. It inherits the consistent characteristics of all Liu Pleiades' special dishes.
It looks ordinary on the outside, but when you taste it, it makes you want to bite your tongue.
This dish is similar to the previous fried pork with green pepper, and it mainly relies on knife skills and seasoning.
The knife skills are Fang Ze, the seasoning is Liu Piaoxing, and Lin Xiaoxin is also responsible for taking photos.
It seems that there is really nothing for this Mimi to do.
Fang Ze originally wanted to tell Mimi that you just need to watch from the sidelines. But looking at Mimi's expectant eyes, Fang Ze couldn't say anything. Finally, after thinking about it, he could only say, "Do you think it's very hot today?"
"It's a bit hot." Mimi wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "There's no air conditioning here."
"Yes, you see in such a hot weather, there is no air conditioning, so." Fang Ze said, taking out a brochure placed here by the organizer and saying to Mimi, "Your task today is to put this The brochures are folded into a small fan to fan everyone."
Forehead.
Mimi glanced at the brochure handed over by Fang Ze, and then looked up at Fang Ze.
Are you sure you're not teasing him? !
He has just started to want to become a famous chef, so you might as well let him stop him.
What the hell is this fanning everyone
So you don’t actually think that I can become a famous chef one day, do you
Not to mention being a guest on a CCTV food show!
"Don't get excited yet." Fang Ze quickly patted Mimi, who was about to turn into a salted fish again, and said, "Don't think that this task is easy. In fact, this is the key to whether we can make truly delicious dishes. "
Mimi heard Fang Ze's words and looked up at Fang Ze, her eyes filled with the meaning of 'you continue to fool me'.
"If a chef wants to make truly delicious food, he must be in a good mood." Fang Ze said seriously, "For example, a novelist must spend a long time playing games, watching live broadcasts and eating delicious food. Just like having a beautiful lady chatting with you to stay in a happy mood and write a good novel. The chef must also put himself in a more comfortable environment to make delicious dishes. You see the weather is so hot, if we don't If people fan themselves, they will definitely not be in such good condition. They will definitely not be able to make real food."
Fang Ze looked at Mimi with extremely serious eyes and said, "So, come on, Mimi. The one advantage we have over other chefs today is that you fan us."
"Is this really true?" Mimi still didn't believe it.
"Really." Fang Ze said, patting Liu Pleiades next to him. "Xiao Xing, tell Mimi whether what I said is right."
"Ah." Liu Pleiaxing was thinking about all the details that needed attention in Yunlong Fried Shrimp at this moment, but Fang Ze patted him down, and he didn't know what to say at all.
"Hurry up and tell me, what I just said is right?" Fang Ze hinted to Liu Pleiax with his eyes that for such an important thing as deceiving people, someone must cooperate.
"Yes, yes," Liu Pleiades said quickly, "What Brother Fang just said is correct."
"Look, I didn't lie to you." Fang Ze looked at Mimi and said.
"I understand." Mimi looked at Liu Pleiades, who was much younger than herself, but could already become a chef, and shouted energetically, "I will definitely let Hao Hou perform today, so that the two of you can have the best state to make the most perfect food.”
"That's right." Fang Ze gave Mimi a teachable look.
ps: I just found out today that I have an extra alliance leader, but no one in the group told me. So I had no choice but to add an update to my first alliance leader, Darling, today. The alliance leader is to add three chapters with 3,000 words, and it will be completed within today.
