The chef competition officially ended after Tian Xiaodu’s braised fish belly roll.
However, there is one last important step left to take place: the ranking of the three chefs.
After eliminating Zhao Deguang, who is the stronger of the remaining three chefs and what their ranking will be, this ranking all depends on Mr. Han's decision. The third game will rely on professional gourmets to taste the strengths of the dishes.
At this time, Old Han thought of the rankings that Ye Chui had determined before the competition began. He didn't expect that Ye Chui had actually predicted them. This made him feel a little unhappy. He said in a muffled voice, "The first place in this competition is well-deserved to be Master Tian Xiaodu, the second place is Master Qin Yiyue, the third place is Master Dong Qian, and the fourth place is vacant."
This ranking was not unexpected to everyone. After all, a lot could be seen from Old Han's reaction when he was eating. The only regret was that Qin Yiyue did not maintain his previous momentum and continue to win the first place. As for Tian Xiaodu, although the fat man's cooking skills were already very good before he met Ye Chui, he won the runner-up in the last four-star competition and has been among the top in the first two games of this competition, but his image problem made it difficult for him to cause any topic, so that his victory at this time was even regarded as an upset.
There is no need to describe the next steps of the chef competition. The three winning chefs stood together, with Tian Xiaodu standing in the middle, under the spotlight of the media. A specially invited senior official from the Food Association hung medals representing the first, second and third place honors around the necks of the three, and also directly issued the six-star chef certificates to the three.
This six-star chef certificate is very remarkable. To become a six-star chef, it can be said that you are already a world-famous chef. For example, in the entire Xizhou City, there is no chef who has reached six stars, and there is only one five-star chef, Tian Xiaodu - Dong Qian's work in the hotel restaurant is only short-term and does not count.
Looking across the country, there are only about twenty six-star chefs.
Of course. This year's five-star chef competition is even more special because the three winners are not very old. Tian Xiaodu and Dong Qian are in their early thirties, and Qin Yiyue is only 28 years old. In previous years, almost everyone who got the six-star chef certificate was at least 40 or 50 years old, and some were even in their seventies or eighties.
This year is very special. It seems to indicate the revival of the gourmet food era, and the younger generation of chefs have begun to emerge.
Of course, among the countless audiences, many people looked at the three chefs with envy - these people came from some nationally famous big hotels, but none of the three new six-star chefs joined the hotel as chefs, Dong Qian had resigned from Ruowen Hotel to prepare for the competition, Qin Yiyue was used to being alone, and although Tian Xiaodu was the chef of Ye Chui's Xiaoyu Home Cooking... but most people saw the name Xiaoyu Home Cooking and automatically ignored the fact that Tian Xiaodu already had a partner.
They couldn't wait to get in touch with the three new six-star chefs, hoping to recruit them under their wing.
"We at Tianlexiang have decided on Dong Qian! I will definitely let her join my restaurant this time, and then I can also promote her as a beautiful chef!"
"We at Jixiangju will never give up on her. Save your money, no matter how much it costs. We will sign him as our head chef!"
"Don't fight anymore. We at Lijingxuan have had our eyes on her since the four-star competition. We will never give up on her!"
Dong Qian, who ranked the lowest among the three, is actually the one that most people are interested in. To be honest, her cooking skills are secondary. The main reason is that Dong Qian's appearance is beautiful enough. Now in the era of gourmet food, people are beginning to pay attention to food celebrities. If a restaurant puts up a sign with a beautiful chef, there will definitely be no shortage of people supporting it.
Of course, there are also many people who are interested in Qin Yiyue and Tian Xiaodu.
"We at Shenghuayuan are determined to get Qin Yiyue. This chef has achieved such success at such a young age. He will definitely achieve great things in the future."
"Come on, our Family Banquet Pavilion invited him last year, but he didn't seem to be ready to join the big hotel. He just wanted to concentrate on studying cooking. So I think you should save your energy. But that Master Tian is not bad. Family Banquet Pavilion will choose him this time!"
"Master Tian? I remember he seems to have joined a restaurant?"
"I've done some research. It's a small restaurant called Xiaoyu Home Cooking. As long as we show enough sincerity, Master Tian will definitely be willing to join us!"
…
Amidst these discussions, Ye Chui, who was being held by the hand of Mr. Han and who was standing next to Han Yuyan, was not sure if it was intentional. He looked at the three newly promoted level 6 chefs surrounded by the media and began to think in his heart - well, he will definitely open a big restaurant in the future. These three chefs are all very good. Should he book them all now
There was no need to talk to Tian Xiaodu. Dong Qian and Qin Yiyue had to have a good talk. Then Ye Chui looked at the hotel representatives not far away who were ready to pounce on him as lobbyists. He thought to himself, this matter must be dealt with quickly...
So he leaned close to Mr. Han's ear and whispered a few words.
"How dare you order me around!" Old Han said with a cold face after hearing Ye Chui's words.
Ye Chui laughed and said, "Mr. Han, help me with this matter and I will make you a delicious meal later."
"Huh, you think you can buy me off with a big meal?" Old Han still refused to buy it.
"When I was visiting the fish market a few days ago, I saw a place selling tuna. The most delicious tuna is the bluefin tuna. The meat is tender and smooth. It is a rare and top-notch seafood ingredient and an absolute delicacy..." Ye Chui said with some temptation.
"Is it really so delicious? Well, I'll do you a small favor." Old Han immediately said with a smile - in fact, that attitude just now was more of a joke, and Old Han was not really that easy to fool.
Because of Ye Chui's previous performance, there are now some media reporters surrounding Ye Chui. Ye Chui is quite experienced in dealing with reporters' attention. He quickly took Han Yuyan to avoid the sight of the media reporters and walked into the lounge where the players were resting.
Han Yuyan's face flushed with excitement. She grabbed Ye Chui's hand and exclaimed, "Master, you were so amazing just now. The cooking methods you mentioned stunned everyone."
"Haha, is that so." Ye Chui said with a smile.
"That's right, but..." Han Yuyan thought of something and said hesitantly, "It's just that Master, you said it so smoothly that it made people feel like it was rehearsed in advance..."
"Well, I speak so fluently on purpose."
Ye Chui sat down on the sofa beside him and said with a smile: "When the footage just now is broadcast, there will definitely be a lot of people who think that the reason I am in the limelight today is not because I am really amazing, but because your grandfather is taking care of me."
Han Yuyan didn't understand and asked, "Eh? Master, why are you doing this?"
"Come on, I'm only seventeen this year, is it really okay to be so high-profile?" Ye Chui rolled his eyes and said, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, so I just want to be as low-key as possible now. I guess I'm borrowing your grandfather to protect me - your grandfather must have already seen this."
Han Yuyan finally understood that Ye Chui was called to the side by Old Han today and ended up being in the limelight. So in order to avoid trouble in the future, he deliberately listed more than 20 cooking methods in succession at the end, which was to deliberately mislead others.
If those words were said by a highly respected chef, everyone would definitely think it was impressive. However, when it was said by a young man like Ye Chui in such an orderly and fluent manner, even though he had already surprised people enough before, it just made people feel that it was a little unreal, and they would subconsciously attribute the reason to Mr. Han: This must have been arranged by Mr. Han in advance.
Ye Chui is equivalent to borrowing the power of Old Han, which will reduce a lot of trouble in the future. After all, the most valuable thing in this world is the recipe. If people believe that Ye Chui may have a precious ancient recipe, it will definitely arouse envy.
After understanding this, Han Yuyan couldn't help but sigh: "Master, you mentioned so many cooking methods, but you don't really understand them."
Ye Chui sweated a little: "You are wrong, in fact, I am very familiar with those cooking methods..."
Just when Han Yuyan was about to say something, the door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open, and Tian Xiaodu, Dong Qian and Qin Yiyue walked in.
The small favor that Ye Chui asked Mr. Han for before was to ask him to invite three people to this lounge in his name.
The three of them were a little surprised when they saw Ye Chui and Han Yuyan in the lounge.
"Master, didn't Mr. Han ask us to come here? Why are you and Dayu here?" Tian Xiaodu said with some surprise. The fat man's face was still rosy when he was interviewed just now.
"I asked Mr. Han to call you here. I have something to say to Master Dong and Master Qin." Ye Chui said with a smile, and walked over to close the door of the lounge.
"What's the matter?" Dong Qian looked at Ye Chui and asked. She found that she could no longer look at Ye Chui with normal eyes...
Qin Yiyue also looked at Ye Chui curiously.
"Before we talk about this, I want to ask you first, Master Dong and Master Qin, what are your plans after this competition is over? Will you find a big hotel to be their head chef?" Ye Chui asked back.
Dong Qian thought about it and said, "I don't have such plans yet. At most I can work in some restaurants for a short period of time."
"Me too." Qin Yiyue also nodded, "My cooking skills still need to be honed, Ye Chui, what do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is, if that's the case, then when I open a big restaurant, can you two come and help me?" Ye Chui invited with a smile. (~^~)
