Food competitions, of course, require chefs to cook on the spot.

Sparks splashing, frying spoon flying, frying, frying, stewing, any description you can imagine that is suitable for food competitions can be used here. But Lu Jianyan didn't want to go into details, because in his opinion, no matter how beautiful the cooking action is, it's just for cooking. It’s not like in film and television dramas and reality shows, which can be edited, narrated, and can be accompanied by a very hot BGM. If you sit aside and just watch someone cook for half an hour, try it for an hour, How would you feel

No matter how exquisite the master craftsman is, it is impossible to continue to do exaggerated stir-frying movements. Occasionally there will be one or two amazing flames and carvings, but that does not keep the audience excited. If it is exciting all the time, and there is a trick every minute... then it is not a food competition, but Olympic figure gymnastics.

Even if there are many chefs in the audience, and every chef tacitly staggers the time to perform their unique skills, it will not change the boringness much.

It is also impossible for the sky restaurant to allow the guests to just watch, let alone some far away guests, who can't even see clearly what the chef on the front table is doing. The large screens on both sides are clear, but they can only focus on a few people at a time. Still the same sentence, sincerity doesn't mean much, it doesn't even count as cooking teaching, and not many guests present can really cook by themselves.

In order to pass the boring time in the early stage, the restaurant also worked hard. It invited a professional host to enliven the atmosphere. It also prepared one or two soups and bread for guests to taste in advance, as well as a live band that can really be enjoyed by people. The atmosphere of the food competition didn't quite match.

Wu Yi rested his chin on one hand and yawned one after another out of boredom. He thought it was extremely boring and a waste of time.

Lou Waiting is not boring. As a senior foodie, he stuffed his napkin and held up a knife and fork. Every three minutes, he would turn his big bald head and ask the waiter in black uniform, when will the main course be served? No matter how delicious the bread is, it cannot be eaten as a meal.

Lu Jianyan and Yao Wuzai exchanged a few tacit and tacit glances about Chef Wang's appearance here. Lu Jianyan hadn't figured out the tricks of this ex-brother-in-law, but Yao Wuzai had almost guessed it. Through WeChat, Yao Wuzai shared with Lu Jianyan the links to the official websites of several pure love novels.

"Huh?" What is this? Lu Jianyan's face was filled with disbelief.

Lu Jianyan usually reads novels, but he reads more paper-based mystery novels. He occasionally dabbles in online novels, either from sister Lu's recommendation of strong women, or from brother Lu's brother Amway's upgrade stream.

This is the first time Lu Jianyan has seen such a small and fresh category name of "pure love".

Yao Wuzang leaned over, and he couldn't tell whether it was intentional or not. He pressed against Lu Jianyan's ear, as if crossing his neck and murmured: "It's Tanmei, Broken Sleeve, gay... You'll know it after reading it."

Chef Wang on the counter inevitably shook his hand shaking the spoon, because the action of the official and CP pair below was too ambiguous. Every tasker who wants to attack Lu Jianyan can't care less about medicine. This is a sick and weak black heart lotus who has a close friendship with Lu Jianyan since he was a child, and is well-matched. Not to mention labeling Yao Wuzai as a confidant, but it's not far off.

It is said that some missionaries have also clumsily imitated Yao Wuzai, thinking that Lu Jianyan is good at it, or sick, or black-hearted, wanting to arouse the love in Lu Jianyan's heart before Yao Wuzai and Lu Jianyan meet again, result…

For the person who played the role of Black Heart Lotus and really did a lot of wrong things, Lu Jianyan didn't even give him a look. Before sending him to the police station, he asked his assistant to persuade him to change his mind and be a good person.

As for the sick and weak, Lu Jianyan looked at her face more, and even had a conversation in person, but what she said was-"Can you please stop causing trouble to others when you know that you are a burden? Do you think The whole world is your mother?" Disregarding the tasker and those who were attacked at that time, he said that he had received psychological treatment for a long time.

These two failure cases will be played as lesson plans before all the taskers want to attack Lu Jianyan, and both of them use Lu Jianyan's arrogant look as the ending scene of the video, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Countless systems have told their hosts that the male god Lu is not cold on the outside but hot on the inside. So much compassion for you. The subordinate type who works hard, that is to squeeze all the labor force; the ruthless type like him, that is, do not break the law, and if you break the law, you must call the police; Is it reasonable? What do I care about?" Lu Jianyan's title as the first hard-to-find male lead is not a vain name.

But no matter how much information you have in advance, it's not as good as being taught how to be a person by reality, so that Chef Wang can understand how incredible an existence like Lu Jianyan is. He doesn't know any routines, and often even unconsciously reverses the routines of others.

But now, the timeline has developed to the point where Lu Jianyan and Yao Wuzhe reunite after a long absence, and they start to treat Yao Wuzhe differently. If he wanted to attack Lu Jianyan, he had to speed up!

The system said: [Come on, come on, keep going!]

But the timid voice said: [Pre-senior, shouldn't it be time to collect juice? ah! Sure enough, Yao Wuzhao came over! Last time was definitely not by accident! Huh, otherwise forget it. Let's take the road of cooking gods in a serious way, QAQ, okay?]

System & Chef Wang: [Not good!]

Before the food was served, Lu Jianyan briefly browsed the pure love novel. He has never watched Chun Ai, but he has seen Danmei. He did not expect him to be so behind the times, and he didn't even know that Danmei had become Chunai. The several novels recommended by Yao Wuzai have something in common from their names and copywriting: gourmet, chef, the first step to catch a lover is to catch his stomach.

Without even reading the text, Lu Jianyan finally understood his ex-brother-in-law's tricks.

Regarding this routine, Lu Jianyan has three questions that he does not understand:

First, what should we do if the target of the attack does not pay attention to appetite? Don't say there is no such person, Lu Jianyan is. It's not that he can eat everything, but he eats too much good food, and he no longer finds delicious food so rare. Commonly known as, he doesn't know the blessing when he is in the blessing.

Second, if it is true that only by relying on delicious food, you can reap a happy love, then the happiest people in the world should be Michelin-starred chefs, then why are these chefs seldom any mafia princes, domineering tyrants? lover

Third, even the ancestors have said that it is difficult for everyone to agree. In fact, everyone's definition of delicious food has subtle differences. How to make it so that everyone flocks to it? Even a famous chef will encounter times when he says that his cooking is terrible.

The last point is the most deadly. What is the most delicious thing for people? The people of country C think that the food of country C is the best, and the people of country F think that French cuisine is the best in the world. Even the big rot country, which is recognized as the king of the dark food world, actually still thinks that the food of their hometown is very good.

If you want to conquer the world with food and conquer different tastes, how can you do it

Seeing that Yan Yan couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking. He didn't like to do such things that made life difficult for him, so he conducted a questionnaire survey on senior foodies.

Lou waited for a novel insight: "Because foodies are all fraternity, there is no best food, only everything is delicious."

For example, Lou waits for nothing. He doesn’t have a narrow national cognition in terms of food. He likes to eat pasta and sushi; he thinks tens of thousands of steaks are delicious, but chicken rice with more than ten yuan is also good; The thousand-year-old hot pot is superb, and the new horn donuts are also super cool. No matter what people who follow the gourmet route do, they can probably easily poke the hunting range of Zhonglou and others.

Lu Jianyan nodded, feeling that Lou Deng's idle words were well-founded and convincing.

So, here comes a new question, in such a fraternal situation, how to make these foodies only focus on eating a certain dish, or only love a certain cuisine? Wouldn't it be boring

Of course it will be boring. Lou Dangxian felt that the only thing that made people never get tired of eating was actually the hometown food that they were used to eating since childhood.

Let’s take Lou as an example. He can eat the dishes cooked by his grandma day and night, because that is what he has been used to since he was born. No matter what grandma does, she always brings her unique cooking habits. But can the food cooked by Grandma Lou taste better than Michelin chefs? Obviously not, it can't conquer the stomachs of most people, it can only awaken a habit in Lou Dang's childhood memory.

"One last question." Lu Jianyan said.

"Tell me." Lou Waiting was very cooperative, he thought that Lu Jianyan was just passing the time, it just so happened that he also wanted to endure the hunger while waiting for the food.

"If this dish is super delicious and makes you feel amazing, and you have never eaten it before, what will you do next?"

Lou waited without hesitation: "Of course I asked which restaurant the chef works in. Next time, I will bring my friends to eat together."

Yes, when it comes to delicious food, the first reaction of most normal people is often to want to eat it again next time, not that I want to marry the cook who cooks. Maybe even have no curiosity about which chef did it, and just look for this restaurant, that's all. Even if you eat it many times, without the intervention of other external forces, few people will touch the cook.

At least Lu Jianyan has never been curious about the lives of the cooks in his family. He pays them wages, and they provide delicious food for his Lu family, each takes what he needs, that's all.

One of the simplest tests, don’t think about anything, close your eyes, and instantly say the name of the world famous chef you know, go!

How many can you name

Anyway, Lu Jianyan can only say one thing. The reason why the other party can be remembered is not how delicious his cooking is, but because he is the host of a foreign food reality show. He is famous for his poisonous tongue and pursuit of excellence. The other party has won 15 Michelin stars in his life, he is undoubtedly excellent, but Lu Jianyan will not have any hellish feelings for him because of this.

If Chef Wang wants to follow such a routine, then Lu Jianyan should persuade him to wake up and get out of literary works.

Good cooking is a plus, but it cannot be the only reason.

Poor cooking skills will not be the reason why he doesn't love him.

Yao Wuzai approached Lu Jianyan again, showing his possessiveness everywhere: "He's not that stupid, he should just want to use this to attract your attention. There are many such routines, I will introduce some novels to you when I have time."

Lu Jianyan was distracted: "Why do you, uh, read so many pure love novels?"

"I'm purely gay, have you forgotten?" Yao Wuzai reminded, and he took the opportunity to support Lu Jianyan's forearm, as if he needed support, and the two of them drew closer physically again, "I don't want to see What do you read pure love novels? Stallion novels? If the protagonist has an affair with his gay friend, then I will definitely read it. But this is not the point. The point is that I found that there are many routines in the novel that can help you counter routines. After all, these missionaries Most people think our life is a novel."

Lu Jianyan was taught humbly because his previous thinking was wrong. He really should read more of these pure love novels. Naturally, Lu Jianyan also forgot that the point of his question was not pure love or not, but that Yao Wuzai's character design did not look like a literary young man who would read novels quietly.

But this world is so full of surprises, Yao Wuzai is actually a fan of novels through and through.

When the main course finally came out, Lu Jianyan was already too hungry and didn't want to eat so much. The foodie restaurant is full of interest. Each guest can request what to taste first based on the chef's performance they have seen before and the dishes the chef chooses to cook, and then follow up again.

The chefs' first competition this time is all about popularity and word of mouth.

As an old gourmet, Lou waited and picked out the dishes he thought were the best among the dishes made by the chefs who participated in the competition, and ordered for a few of his friends that he thought they would like.

Lu Jianyan paid special attention to Chef Wang's serial number, number 6, which is a very auspicious number.

As for the dishes with the No. 6 signature plate, they can be seen at Lu Jianyan's table as expected. This cannot be classified as the means of the tasker, because Lou waited for the time to choose it himself. It seems that Chef Wang also has some real skills. It is a new homemade dish, mainly tender and smooth chicken, bright in color, rich in fragrance, and very beautifully presented, it is easy to make people's index fingers move with just one glance.

Then, Lu Jianyan took a bite with the serving chopsticks without hesitation and tasted it.

Yao Wuzang didn't even have time to stop him, only the disbelief at Lu Jianyan's move remained. How could he be so reckless? What if there is another "Temptation of Mermaid" like Dr. Chen

But Lu Jianyan has already eaten his stomach, the taste...how should I put it, um, have you seen "The Little Master of China"? That kind of sudden feeling that I am in a different space with fairy air, with beauties in ancient costumes playing and singing in the background, and the universe, stars, birds and flowers in front of my eyes. To be honest, after the materialization of this thing, it's a bit, uh, not a question of embarrassment, but that it really looks like a hallucination that only occurs after smoking marijuana.

If I want to eat something again, I can’t wait for another meal after eating this meal, I can’t wait for a moment, I want to eat every day, then I can almost report it to the demon spirit.

— Uncle Policeman, this is the man who puts poppy husks in the dishes.

Of course, Chef Wang hasn't worked so hard yet, this should be his ability, the ability to cook delicious food. In other words, the dishes made by Chef Wang are easy to infect people and amplify everyone's sensory emotions. To exaggerate, it is the touch and warmth from this dish, and the taste of mother. The improved version is more delicious. the taste of.

It's a pity that Lu Jianyan couldn't taste the taste of his mother, because his mother can't cook at all.

Lu Jianyan was also brought back a lot of childhood memories, but it was accompanied by their chef's craftsmanship, the improved version, it did become more delicious, but that's it, with their chef's craftsmanship , Even if it is not improved, it is delicious.

Yao Wuzang stood by and waited to remove the negative buff for Lu Jianyan after he was recruited. However, Lu Jianyan was like a normal person, only took a few bites, and then switched to other dishes. The taste of their chef, he can fly back to eat whenever he wants to eat, this attraction is really not very attractive to him.

Yao Wuzai cautiously approached Lu Jianyan, even if he didn't miss Lu Jianyan's eyes, he observed carefully, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I think I'm in love with the cook who cooks this dish, and I want to marry him." Lu Jianyan replied blankly.

Yao Wuhan's pupils shrank unavoidably, and the hand that was just supporting Lu Jianyan became a tight grip, as if he was holding the last piece of duckweed, which was the only thing he had. No, absolutely not!

"Pfft..." Lou waited leisurely but laughed, almost choking on the white wine.

Fifth Yi also found out that this was just a joke, and laughed together with Lou et al: "Come on, Lou'er, let my brother feed you a taste of this delicious dish that makes people want to marry him. ah."

Lou Waiting was not too disgusted, and he really opened his mouth to cooperate. After he ate it, he would naturally be bursting with joy and auspiciousness again. Lou waited for a while to put away his playfulness, his eyes were dazed, and an infinite emotion surged in his heart. This dish made him feel poetic and emotional, as well as his childhood. He really liked it and became more respectful. If there is a chance, he would like to eat it next time, and would recommend it to his friends. He was not stingy in praising this dish.

"Do you want to get married?" Fifth Yi was still waiting for Lou Waiting's answer.

"Don't make trouble." That's the end of Lou Waiting's idle talk at most.

Because after all, it’s just a dish.

Yao Wuzang saw that Lou waited for a while and his expression was normal, so he really let go of his heart. In fact, as early as when Lu Jianyan spoke, he knew that Lu Jianyan was probably joking 90% of the time, but his heart still couldn't help being lifted up. It was like being pinched by someone, making it difficult for him to control himself.

Seeing Yao Wuzhe's discomfort, Lu Jianyan hurriedly found the medicine from the back of the wheelchair, fed it with lemonade and swallowed it: "I'm sorry, my joke went a little too far."

Lu Jianyan was very guilty, not because he really made this joke unintentionally, but because he knew that Yao Wuzai would probably be a bit difficult to accept, but he still said so. He wants a strong dose of medicine, so that Yao Wuzang, who has not yet thought of crossing the friendship line with him, realizes that liking him is a very dangerous thing. It is best for them to just be friends, and at most they can only be friends. step.

Lu Jianyan is not suitable for Yao Wu Zai, it should be said that he is not suitable for anyone.

As for why it wasn't suitable, Lu Jianyan couldn't tell clearly, it seemed that at a certain moment, he completely lost the ability to love someone.

After Yao Wuzai finished taking the medicine, he slowed down again.

Fifth Yi and Lou Waiting also looked over with concern, and they couldn't care less about what to eat. Lou Waiting didn't expect Yao Wuzai to be so temperamental and possessive, he just thought that his friend would get sick if he got married; Fifth Yi didn't expect that Lu Jianyan was already so important in Yao Wuzai's heart, didn't it mean that he was just a child Neighbor

Lu Jianyan was three points guilty, but also turned five points in the pain and fragility of Yao Wuzai. He began to reflect on whether his methods were a little too tough. He has gotten used to those who refuse quests, because he knows that those people just use him as an NPC to attack, treat the quest as a game, and will not be harmed anyway. But Yao Wuzai is different from them, he is a real person, and he is also a patient with Malkavian.

"Are you mad at me?"

Only then did Yao Wuzai raise his head again, revealing the smiling face under the white hair, and the sincerity from the bottom of his heart was bright: "No. How could I be angry with you?"

Those eyes full of trust and pure love overlapped with Yao Wuzhao when he was a child.

Even if Yanyan did something that made me sad, I still like Yanyan the most, because Yanyan is Yanyan~

Something seemed to hit Lu Jianyan's heart directly at that moment. He couldn't tell what he felt, but he was sure that he really should have a heart-to-heart talk with Yao Wuyou about the tasker. Embarrassment, embarrassment, as long as Yao Wuzang promises not to lie to him again, then they can be a pair of trusting partners. It must be so.

Because of Yao Wuzang's illness, the group of four people finally left the sky restaurant early. The organizer also saw the special situation of Yao Wuzang. His face was so pale that the manager of the restaurant asked several times if he wanted to call for them. doctor.

Until the four of them returned to the villa to rest, the account manager at the hotel still heard the news and insisted on bringing the doctor to the door.

I have to say that the service of this resort is really good.

Not surprisingly, Chef Wang won the first place in the competition that day, but so what? The person he really wanted to attract attention left early.

The timid voice said again: [Senior, give up, we are no match for Yao Wuzai at all.]

The system said: [Yao Wuzai is really despicable! He must be pretending to be sick! But I also agree to give up, because...]

The system didn't say why, but in fact, everyone present knew that Lu Jianyan had already eaten Chef Wang's dishes, but he didn't express much. They have all read the profile of Lu Jianyan. It is said that Lu Jianyan often changes restaurants, so he must have a tricky taste. If he can't impress him even with the well-prepared dishes that are both systematic and capable this time, how about the next time? No play at all.

The timid voice was a little happy: [Sure enough, let's just go on the road of cooking gods, I will work hard to help seniors!]

The inorganic system pondered for a moment, but said: [It may not necessarily be a desperate situation.]

Chef Wang: [What did you think of?]

[Lu Jianyan has been used to delicacies from mountains and seas since he was a child, and his mother can't cook. Of course, this set of memories and warmth is not suitable for him. It was because we thought wrong before, we should have given Lu Jianyan a different stimulus.]

[no the same?]

[What hasn't Lu Jianyan eaten?]

[Lu Jianyan is so rich, what is there that he hasn't eaten, really, didn't we give up after saying we won't succeed? Beep beep.]

Are you really about to give up? Chef Wang & System fell into deep thought.

The doctor did a general inspection of Yao Wuza's body, and found nothing wrong, but the doctor still suggested that Yao Wuza should have a closer inspection after returning to S city.

After the lunch break, Yao Wuzai regained his energy and proposed to experience the most famous spa in this resort in the evening. It is to use water with different temperature, pressure and solute content to act on the human body in different ways, so as to prevent and treat some fatigue diseases. (The last sentence is adapted from Du Niang))

Lu Jianyan, who has been suggesting that going out to play is to relax, is about to melt.

Sure enough, Yao Wuzang is more like Yao Xiaozang, that cute little angel. It just grows too fast.

The villa has its own private pool with constant temperature, and the resort can arrange door-to-door spa services by calling. There is a one-on-one service by a dedicated technician, and the fee is charged by the minute. It's not surprising that the four old men are doing this kind of spa treatment naked in the pool together. What's really strange is that they didn't call some younger sisters or younger brothers who have other purposes.

Apparently, this strange thing was brought up by Lou Waiting. He was always ruthless, but it was a pity that he was hurt by the eyes of the other three who seemed to know everything.

Lu Jianyan could swear to God that he never revealed to anyone that Lou was unable to do what he wanted. But, he can't guarantee that Wu Yi and Yao Wuzai's looks are really just ignorant scams. Obviously they know something, but the source of information is unknown.

After the technician finished the massage and left, there were only four people left in the pool, each leaning against one side of the pool, closing their eyes and resting amidst the melodious music. Wu Yi couldn't hold back in the end, and said casually to the building suddenly: "Have you never suspected your problem?"

Lou Waiting was quite relaxed at first, but his hair exploded in an instant. He tore off the white towel covering his face and glared at Wuyi, but he couldn't even speak: "Wh, what's wrong!"

Fifth Yi tilted his head, smiled wickedly, and let the water drop down his tight and thin muscles.

Fifth Yi originally wanted to continue teasing Lou Dangxiao, but was stopped by Yao Wuzai. Although Yao Wuzai often bullies Lou Waiting, he still chooses to help Lou Waiting at critical moments, after all he doesn't want Lu Jianyan to worry about his friend.

"Come on, you also have this problem, laughing at fifty steps, is it interesting?"

After a word, the audience was silent.

Turns out there were two EDs hiding among them.

Lou Waiting: "!!!" What the hell

Lu Jianyan: "..." I didn't expect that Wu Yi's character design of an experienced veteran driver was also hard-fucked. What's going on in this world lately? He felt that if some bosses and n-generations who had passed their thirties but had not yet had a meat meal popped up after a while, he wouldn't be surprised.

Fifth Yi is obviously much more adaptable than Lou Waiting, or he has a higher level of shamelessness, and he still smiles so coquettishly, so he purposely swims closer to Lou Waiting. Lou waited for a step back, and he took two steps forward, making countless waves until Lou was forced to retreat.

"Come on, Brother Lou, come with me to have a heart-to-heart exchange between patients and patients."

Lou Waiting was dumbfounded: "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about whether you think this kind of illness is neither physical nor psychological. It's more like being forced to protect someone's body. Don't you think it's strange?" Wu Yi's eyes looked closer. You will find that there is a touch of blue, like the color of pen ink, with an indelible depth.

Lou waited for this silly bald man's mind to become muddled, so he could only say stupidly, "It's kind of weird to say so."

Lu Jianyan didn't want to see his friend being led away like this, so he deliberately said coldly: "Maybe it's just for you to meet the right person."

Fifth Yi sneered. He didn't expect that Lu Jianyan, who seemed to be the coldest of the four of them, had such a romantic and naive idea. He put the building on the corner of the pool with one hand, and provoked Lu Jianyan sideways: "The right person? For example? ?Who is?"

If there is such a person, he doesn't mind letting him taste the humiliation brought by his forced eunuch all these years!

Lu Jianyan put on a gesture of invitation, and gestured back and forth between Lou Dangxian and Wu Yi: "Aren't you the same?" Asking how much you can worry, it's like two EDs going to a brothel.

All illnesses are the same, but what is fate

Yao Wuzai was also looking forward to it, besides looking at the good show in his eyes, he was eager to try: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date, do you want to try now?"
