Dashi xiujie, sucha, Kosen, and dubonthe were having an awkward conversation in the hotel’s coffee shop.
Why was it awkward? it was because the four people communicated in English. Dubang was a Filipino, sucha was thai, dashi xiujie was Japanese, and Kosen was Chinese.
Well, the first three basically gathered the three countries with the most difficult English accent. How lame was that?
“The final match is on Wednesday. Ke sang, should we pay a visit to the monkey God today?” Dashi xiujie asked Kosen while drinking his coffee.
“The finals will be held the day after tomorrow. It’s definitely not a good idea to visit head chef Yuan today.” Kosen ordered a cup of lemon water at the coffee shop. He was not used to drinking coffee.
After answering dashi xiujie’s question, Kosen started another topic,””How’s the preparation of your dishes?”
As soon as this matter was mentioned, the other three’s calm expressions instantly changed, becoming vigilant.
“I didn’t really prepare much. After all, the scope of the questions this time is too wide.” Sucha immediately replied.
After the top four were decided, the final question was given to the four of them. All four of them received a small note with the question written on it: “Chicken, duck, and goose, three flying heavens.
The “three flying Apsaras” that followed was called a question prop in ancient times. It was used to carry the question and was easier to understand for Kosen. The final question would be to choose one of the three birds, chicken, duck, and goose, as the main course.
However, he was not so friendly to sucha, Dupond, and dashi xiujie.
In fact, as an international event, even if they wanted to promote Chinese culture, it was impossible for the participants to not understand the topic. Otherwise, it would seem too petty. Therefore, the official translation of the topic was in Japanese, thai, and Japanese.
But just in case, sucha’s group of three had their Chinese friends translate for them.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the organizers. He was just afraid that he might have missed out on some details. The finals were related to whether or not he could get first place and obtain the guidance of head chef Yuan. He couldn’t afford to be careless.
Sucha was right to say that the scope was large. After all, it would take a long time to finish talking about chicken food, let alone duck and goose.
Dupond, who was tall and thin like a drying pole, immediately replied,””We rarely eat goose in the Philippines. If we get a goose, we’ll be in trouble.”
“We haven’t made any progress. I’m looking at ke sang, who seems to be very satisfied. Do you have any ideas? if it’s convenient for you, please open our eyes.” Dashi xiujie, who looked honest, also shook his head and then fixed his eyes on Kosen.
Kosen sneered in his heart, but he was still smiling on the surface. These people were too treacherous. They didn’t even cooperate when he was trying to get information, and they even wanted to get information about him.
“Compared to the three chefs, I’m still too young. But I heard that the sweet goose with honey sauce from Philippines cuisine is also very famous.” Said Kosen.
Dupond looked like he had just remembered something.”If Mr. Ke didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten. Our country does have this dish.”
This rotten old man is so evil, I didn’t believe you.
Kosen was clear that the questions given by the green Chef tournament were very fair.
If there was a lack of goose in the Philippines, this would not be the question. Since this question was set, it meant that there was more goose in Filipino cuisine than dubang had said.
In the past few days, this was not the first time they had tried to talk to each other, but each time, it had been fruitless.
The four of them fell silent for a moment, either looking down at their cups, or their thoughts drifting away in a daze.
Cooking was like fighting with Jianghu heroes. Heroes had life-saving cards, and similarly, they didn’t know what the chef was holding in his hand.
“Mr. Sucha, when you were in the top 10, your cooking really opened my eyes. I heard that you’re a rare chef who can cook from the four great cuisines of Thailand-central, North, South, and East. I’m sure you’ll bring out an even more amazing dish in the finals.”
The person who spoke was dubonthe. He liked to call him “Sir” and his voice was easier to recognize.
“We only have four Thailand cuisines, which are not as numerous as the Chinese cuisines. Besides, head chef dashi is the one who has been in the first place since the start of the semi-finals.” Sucha’s tone was filled with deep fear.
The competition system of the young Chef’s Challenge always followed the final Elimination System. Among the three judges, dashi xiujie’s score was always the highest among the full score of thirty.
As many Japan media had said, dashi xiujie was the most likely person to be guided by the great Grandmaster of the Empire.
After all, ever since Yuan Zhou commented that the dishes were “pretty good except that they weren’t delicious” during the exchange between China and Japan, he had been trying his best to catch up with them.
Although he was getting farther and farther away, dashi xiujie was no longer the same person as he was three years ago!
“I’m lucky. Sucha sang, Dupond Tesan, and Kesang must have not used their true strength, so I’m temporarily first.” Dashi xiujie’s words were not convincing at all.
They had some reservations, but so did dashi xiujie.
“I still need to continue preparing, so I’ll go back to my room first.” Kosen stood up to bid farewell and was the first to leave the hotel’s Cafe.
When he returned to his room, Kosen let out a huge sigh and muttered to himself, “It’s just a cooking competition. It’s like there’s no tunnel.”
“But as long as we can win, it’s definitely worth it.” Kosen still remembered what his father had said. If he couldn’t get first place, he would have to eat the pot.
In order not to get his teeth broken by the pot, he had to get first place!
The remaining three people in the coffee shop were in another scene.
Dupond said,”we’re all people who have joined many alliances. Friendship comes first, competition comes second. We can’t hurt our relationship.”
“That’s right, we can’t hurt our friendship,”sucha said.
Dashi xiujie nodded his head to show his agreement. The three of them then exchanged pleasantries for a while.
“I suddenly have a new idea. I’ll take my leave first.” Sucha said.
Then they bid each other farewell. Sucha also stood up and left.
Sucha, who was leaving, revealed a sinister smile. “Who’s talking about friendship with you guys? in order to get the guidance of head chef Yuan, even a father and son relationship is useless.”
“I’ll definitely be the champion of the finals. Besides, I think head chef Yuan will choose a head chef who is as handsome as him to guide him. In terms of looks, I’ve already won.” As she spoke, sucha took out a small mirror and a small comb from the inside pocket of her suit.
“Yes, a chef must pay attention to his appearance. As expected, he still has the same spirit.” Sucha returned to her room, very satisfied.
In the café, only dubang and dashi xiujie were left at Table 4.
“Mr. Dashi, I saw sucha and Kosen chatting for a long time in the main hall yesterday. I suspect they’ve formed an alliance.” Dupond said.
Dashi xiujie was waiting for Dupond’s next sentence.
“So I think we can form an alliance and share the information.” Dupond suggested.
“Good idea.” “What information do you have about Dupond Tesan?” dashi xiujie asked.
“Yesterday, I heard at the front desk that sucha had some mangoes air-flown over from Thailand” Dupond said in a low voice.
Thailand food liked to use fruits to enhance the taste, such as pineapple, mango, coconut juice, papaya, lemon, and so on.
“Do you have any information, Mr. Big stone?” Dupond said.
“I don’t know if it counts as intelligence, but ke sang visited head chef Cheng before.” Dashi xiujie said.
“Head chef Cheng? is he head chef Yuan’s only disciple?” Dupond asked in a hurry.
“Yes, I am.” Dashi xiujie nodded.
“Mr. Ke, you’re so cunning. I need to go back to my room and think of a solution,” Dupond said before he left in a hurry.
Dashi xiujie looked at Dupond’s back and shook his head silently. He took out a small notebook and turned to the fourth page,””Head chef Yuan said,’for a chef, only culinary skills need to be explored forever.'” From ‘head chef Yuan conversing with Chairman Zhou Shijie at the solo exhibition’.”
“Dupond Tesan has already gone against head chef Yuan’s central idea. There are too many heretical ways. They won’t do any good.” Dashi xiujie had been learning Chinese for the past two years. He was quite good at using Chinese and had a set of idioms.
After putting away the small notebook, dashi xiujie took out his mobile phone and looked at the time.
“It’s almost time to run. ” Dashi xiujie stood up and prepared to pay for his coffee. However, he was told that the other three people didn’t pay.
They had agreed to split the bill. In the end, dashi xiujie paid for the four people. However, it didn’t matter. As long as they could win the final victory, dashi xiujie didn’t care.
“Sucha is too narcissistic. The low-key head chef Yuan must have a bad first impression of him. After all the calculations, the biggest threat is only ke sang.”
Even though Kosen was a big opponent, dashi xiujie was still full of confidence.
Dashi xiujie had to run every day for a simple reason. Head chef Yuan had said in an interview with chef Jie,”To persist in running, one was to exercise one’s physical fitness, and the other was to train one’s own perseverance. These two things were helpful in the road of cooking.
The four people here were really scheming against each other. What a great show. As for the main culprit of this, Yuan Zhou, he was quite calm today.
Master chef Restaurant was also very calm.
It drizzled in the evening. It was a rare drizzle in Midsummer, so there were many people on the streets.
It was the time when the dinner of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant ended. Therefore, the entrance of the restaurant was free.
Wang Hong arrived at this time. He walked straight to the door and looked around. He quickly found the target.
“Little Mao Ye, come over quickly.” Wang Hong beckoned to Mao Ye.
“Mr. Wang,” Mao Ye took a few steps forward and said.
“You don’t have to be so polite, just call me Wang Hong.” Wang Hong waved his hand nonchalantly, then continued,””It looks like the rain won’t stop for a while, so it won’t be a small Tavern tonight.”
“Yes, the boss said it’s going to rain tonight.” Mao Ye nodded his head in affirmation.
“Hehe, I knew it. Roast chicken wings, roast chicken wings, I love to eat roast chicken wings. I can finally eat them tonight.” Wang Hong happily sang a song that Mao Ye could not understand.
Mao Ye looked at the agitated Wang Hong and did not know if he should continue.
“Mr. Wang, there’s something I don’t know if it’s appropriate to say.” Mao Ye asked hesitantly.
“Just say it, I’m a very easy-going person.” Wang Hong said.
“I’m not opening the tavern today, but I’m not selling barbecue tonight. ” In the end, Mao Ye still told Wang Hong this cruel reality.
“You’re not selling barbecue?”
“What do you mean?”
“Little Mao Ye, are you joking with me?!” Wang Hong asked three questions in a row, a little confused.
“The boss said that there will be some New Street food tonight.” Mao Ye answered honestly.
A second ago, Wang Hong was still a sunflower, but in the next second, he had turned into a frosted eggplant.
“The heavens want me dead.”
Thinking that the chicken wing was about to fly away, Wang Hong lowered his head and squatted on the ground dejectedly.
“Um … We’ll be serving a new dish tonight.” Mao Ye had only been here for a short time and did not know how to comfort her. He could only emphasize it again.
She emphasized this because the customers were always interested and looking forward to the new dishes in the past few days, so she said that.
“What’s the use of the new dish? but I don’t have grilled chicken wings. ” Wang Hong mumbled.
“You can eat something else.” Mao Ye could only reply. After all, she had also seen that Wang Hong’s heart was set on grilling chicken wings.
“Other than chicken wings at night, everything else is like floating clouds. It can’t arouse my appetite at all.” After saying that, Wang Hong turned around and recommended to Mao Ye,”The other street snacks are all crooked. Let me tell you, chicken wings are the best.” Wang Hong said in a serious tone.
“There’ll be a chance next time,”Mao Ye said.
“I’m fine, I’m fine. You can go and do what you need to do. Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. ” Wang Hong could see Mao Ye’s embarrassment and awkwardness and waved his hand.
“Okay, Mr. Wang, I’ll get going.” Mao Ye secretly heaved a sigh of relief, then politely said goodbye and left.
“You’ve worked hard. ” Wang Hong continued to squat on the ground and mumbled something with his head lowered.
In any case, with Mao Ye’s hearing, the content was still about barbecued chicken wings.
Time passed quickly, and it wasn’t long before it was time for the barbecue. At this time, a group of people had already formed a neat line under the rain shelter at the entrance of the restaurant.
Meanwhile, the people from the queuing Committee were also trying their best to maintain order. Of course, the customers were also very cooperative.
At this time, Mao Ye walked out of the shop and said to the customers,””We’ll be launching a new product today, so today’s barbecue time will be changed to street food time. ”
“Today’s snacks are fried tenderloin and crepes. Each person can only order one serving of each. ” Mao Ye continued.
As Mao Ye finished speaking, the crowd immediately burst into a discussion. Of course, they were all discussing the new dish.
“I’m so lucky to have a new dish. It’s so unexpected.”
“I hope I can have a fruit pancake for breakfast tomorrow. I’ll get fat if I eat this at night.”
“Smart people didn’t eat dinner and came here for barbecue, so I’m not afraid.”
“The most important thing is to order two more things, although I’m more concerned about how many there are in this serving.”
“I don’t like to eat scallions, so I wonder if I can skip them in my crepes.”
All kinds of words like this were constantly being said. From time to time, everyone would stretch their heads out to look at the small restaurant, wanting to eat it as soon as possible.
Among them, there was a very conspicuous person. It was Wang Hong, who was standing there without saying a word. More importantly, he was standing in the front, which was only second to Wu Hai.
Mao Ye saw this at a glance, so he greeted him with some curiosity,””Mr. Wang,”
“Um. I must try this new dish. The fruit pancake and the fried tenderloin. I’ve been sick of them since I was young. I want to prove with facts that boss Yuan is not doing his proper job by giving up the BBQ and the chicken wings for these two dishes!” Wang Hong’s words were filled with righteousness.
“We still have to finish our supper.” Mao Ye innocently reminded. After all, she felt that if she didn’t like it, she might not be able to finish it.
Wu Hai, who was at the front, said quietly,”with me around, there won’t be any leftovers. You are just so confident.”
