After the head chef and several chefs tasted the rice noodles, everyone looked shocked.
"No way! Why is this rice noodle so delicious?"
"Is this still rice noodles?"
"How does Mr. Tian make this rice noodles?"
After several people looked at each other for a while, they all looked at Tian Xiaohai curiously.
"Don't look at me like this, it's just that you control the heat well." Tian Xiaohai smiled calmly and said, "You'll get good at this thing if you cook it too much."
As soon as these words came out, the four chefs almost fainted on the spot.
No matter how little rice noodles they fry, they still fry more rice noodles than Tian Xiaohai, okay?
"Okay, you are all convinced now!" Su Nian smiled and nodded to the chef and others: "Whether it is rice, vegetables, or rice noodles, the most important thing is the taste, no matter how beautiful the appearance is.
It’s not as good as the beautiful taste that can retain customers. As for how beautiful the decorations on the plate are, that’s just the icing on the cake, not necessary.”
"Mr. Su is absolutely right."
"Mr. Su is right."
“It’s true that taste is more important.”
The chefs nodded.
The head chef came to Tian Xiaohai emotionally: "Mr. Tian, can you accept me as your apprentice? I want to learn cooking skills from you."
The sincere look on his face made him almost kneel down in front of everyone.
"I just played well. Again, the heat is very important, the timing of taking out the pan, the timing of pouring oil, the timing of stir-frying, etc. These all need to be mastered just right." Tian Xiaohai smiled at the head chef
He comforted: "This thing requires more practice. Besides, I can only cook rice noodles, which is too simple. Your research directions should be diversified. If you follow me, you won't learn anything."
"Okay! It's just that I'm still full of questions..." The chef looked a little disappointed.
"Uncle, your cooking skills are quite good. It's just that the time you have been exposed to artificial matsutake is still a little short. If you fry this thing a few times, you will be able to master the heat." Tian Xiaohai nodded towards the uncle with encouraging eyes.
He nodded and smiled: "I decided to take you to participate in tonight's game with me tonight."
"How can this work? My fried rice noodles are far less delicious than yours!" The head chef waved his hands repeatedly: "This can't work, this can't work..."
"The rice noodles I fried have a slightly better taste, but the style is just that of a local stall. Yours is the real hotel level." Tian Xiaohai smiled and replied to the chef: "Let's join together to participate in the food competition tonight.
Won tonight’s game in one fell swoop.”
"Is this okay?" The chef's eyes widened in surprise.
"Of course! We signed up in the name of a team." Su Nian answered first: "You two join forces, and tonight's vegetarian category championship is a sure shot. This is a good idea, I support it, Lao Yu.
Go ahead! Regardless of whether you win or not, the company will give you an additional five hundred yuan as appearance fee."
"Thank you, Mr. Su, then I'm welcome." The chef nodded excitedly to Su Nian.
"Go and do some work first, and then help us each fry a rice noodle. We are still hungry! Remember to use artificial matsutake mushrooms to fry them. Don't finish frying them all. The remaining half will be used for the competition in the evening!" Tian Xiaohai smiled.
warned.
"Okay, I'm going to stir-fry now, just think of it as a practice." The head chef responded excitedly, turned around and quickly went to work.
It didn't take long for the chef to fry three more plates of rice noodles and place them in front of Su Nian, Bai Qiuyu and others.
After dinner, the troops divided into two groups and set off.
Zuo Qinglong took his men and slowly headed to the stadium to perform martial arts performances.
Su Nian drove and took Tian Xiaohai and others to the site of the food competition. The location was chosen in the large square of the county town. The police cordon had been set up around it. There was a row of people sitting on the judges' bench, many of whom were sitting there.
Tian Xiaohai knew him. The county magistrate and deputy county magistrate were both there, as well as the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau and the deputy director of the Tourism Bureau.
It can be seen that the county attaches great importance to this food competition.
All major restaurants and hotels in the county also sent their own experts to compete.
There are even restaurants and hotels in neighboring counties that have sent teams to participate.
Tian Xiaohai glanced at the crowd and did not see the beautiful village chief's sister. He couldn't help but be a little curious and couldn't help but whisper softly: "Strange, why didn't you see the village chief's sister?"
"The village chief's sister is called Zhan Hongmei. She is an out-and-out entrepreneur. She is at the junction of our county and Jiangzhou City. It is said that the director of the Municipal Tourism Bureau will also come to watch the game tonight. I guess the village
The eldest sister will come with their car to show her importance! Don't underestimate this girl, she has many tricks!" Su Nian smiled and reminded Tian Xiaohai who was aside: "You can
Be careful."
"We have already learned this lesson once. No matter how many tricks we use, we still lose to us." Tian Xiaohai smiled and nodded disapprovingly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion from the crowd.
"Look, there's a Bentley coming over there."
"Not only that, there's a Maserati behind us."
"Isn't this also here to compete?"
"Eh! No, look, the Biker GL8 at the front seems to be a car from the Municipal Tourism Bureau. Could it be that a company from the city is also participating in the competition?"
Following everyone's gaze, Tian Xiaohai found a Biker GL8 business sedan 20 meters away, slowly approaching. Behind it, a Bentley sedan and a Maserati sports car followed in the distance.
The distance between the two cars was a bit far, at least sixty meters away, but it did not affect the attention of the spectators standing in the outermost row at all.
Soon, the gl8 commercial vehicle stopped in the temporary parking lot of the venue.
"It's Director Dai and the others here! Their car has arrived. Let's go and greet them." County Magistrate Wei, who was sitting in the first row of the venue, saw clearly that the parked car was that of the Municipal Tourism Bureau. He took the lead and stood
Got up and walked outside.
Deputy County Magistrate Qin, Director Niu from the Investment Promotion Bureau, and Deputy Director Xiao from the County Tourism Bureau also stood up and followed him.
"Everyone, give in, give in!"
Immediately, several security guards pushed aside the onlookers in the front row with their hands to make way for the passage.
A driver got off the bus. He ran to the back seat of the commercial vehicle, opened the door, and covered the upper door frame with his hands so that the important people in the back row could get out.
At this time, a fat middle-aged man got out of the back seat of the commercial vehicle.
"Director Dai, come on, get out of the car slowly." The driver smiled and made a greeting gesture towards the fat middle-aged man.
The slightly fat middle-aged man nodded, got out of the car door, and immediately raised his face with a smile and looked forward. His eyes were full of confidence, and his expression was calm and confident.
This person is Director Dai of the Municipal Tourism Bureau, the special guest of tonight's food competition.
"Hello, Chief Dai! I've finally come to see you." County Magistrate Wei greeted him warmly.
"Hello Director Dai!"
"Good evening, Director Dai!"
"Hello Director Dai!"
Deputy County Magistrate Qin, Director Niu, and Director Xiao all also nodded and smiled and said hello enthusiastically.
"Good evening everyone, I'm late and have kept you waiting for a long time!" Director Dai responded politely.
"It's not too late, it's not too late. Director Dai came at the right time. Our competition will start soon, and we are waiting for you to be the special guest!" County Magistrate Wei smiled and made an invitation to Director Dai: "
Come, please come inside!"
"No rush, no rush, there are still participating companies that haven't arrived yet!" Director Dai responded with a smile, then turned around and pointed at a Bentley car behind him that was slowly driving towards the parking lot and replied with a smile:
"The CEO of the Laoganmei Group is still behind! She will perform her special skills tonight, let's wait a little longer!"
"You mean the exhibition manager of Laoganmei Group will personally participate in the food competition tonight?" County Magistrate Wei's eyes widened in surprise.
