Zhu Yanping was confident that he was not a good person to drink, but when he walked to the gate of Li's yard, he couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated. He gently pushed open the gate and smiled and said, "It's really fragrant. It seems that the Chinese Baccarat God is well-known, which makes me look forward to it."

Today is the day when Grandpa Zhu is seven years old. Zhou Dong even went to worship in the morning. Zhu Yanping also knew that he came to Fengqi Mountain to play with the wine music. He was very curious, so he rushed to the Li family after paying homage to the old man.

“Huh?”

Zhu Yanping took a few deep breaths of the wine as if he was greedy, and felt very happy. He wanted Zhou Dong to brew the wine now and let him drink it before he could stop.

But I didn't expect that the strange smell of wine circling in the yard for a week, and then gradually faded away, as if it had retracted back to the east room. I was surprised: "Little brother, the wine chorus you made is very dishonest, why did you take back the aroma of wine?"

Li Xiuchen smiled and pulled over a bench, asked Zhu Yanping to sit down, poured wine for him, clothed vegetables, and smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu has never brewed wine, so he naturally doesn't understand.

In fact, after the wine koji embryo is put into the koji, it will begin to ferment. In the early stage of fermentation, it can theoretically produce a very weak wine fragrance, but this is the theory, and no one has smelled it.

I don’t know whose secret of Brother Zhou’s hand-made chorus skills is. I have never seen it before, which caused the chorus to release a strong aroma of wine in the early stage of fermentation, and actually penetrated the quilt and rushed out of the house.

However, after this early fermentation period, just two hours later, the wine chorizo ​​embryo gradually began to 'mature' and the wine fragrance disappeared. That made you have an illusion that the wine fragrance was taken back..."

"So that's it. In this way, my little brother is so good!"

Zhu Yanping said with some regret: "It's a pity that I'm late, and the wine smells so good. Little brother, Zhu is not good at drinking in his life, but he is a little anxious to drink your wine. I wonder how long it will take to wait?"

Li Xiuchen smiled and said, "Haha, then Mr. Zhu is probably going to have to wait for a while...

It is said that it is 'Futian wine in the twelfth lunar month wine'. Brother Zhou wants to brew rice wine. It has always been brewed on the twelfth lunar month, and it will take another 3 to 6 months to become wine. In this way, I am afraid I will have to wait until next summer..."

Zhu Yanping was a little disappointed when he heard this: "It actually takes so long?"

"Of course not."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "My wine is to be used in the 'private hall' and 'big wine jar'. How can I wait until next year?

The south has to wait until the twelfth lunar month to brew rice wine, because the south is humid and is not good for brewing wine, but there is no such problem in Chudu.

The weather in Chudu has always been dry, and there are no continuous rainy days this year, so you should be able to start brewing after the dog days.

Brother Li, you strictly follow the southern craftsmanship, but you forgot to pay attention to local conditions in everything. There is no need to copy the procedures for brewing wine in the south.

My brewing process is also different from the general rice wine. I plan to start brewing when I come back from Xiangjiang, and the wine can be out of the cellar in a month and a half. You are welcome to taste my new wine at that time."

"I heard from my little brother that, I regret asking you to participate in the Xiangjiang International Food Competition. I wish you would be brewed sooner, the better."

Zhu Yanping smiled and said, "But I heard that the longer the rice wine, the better. You will be able to drink in the past month and a half, so don't waste such a good wine song?"

Zhou Dong smiled: "The saying that Chenjiu is the highest quality is correct, it is not clear in just one or two sentences. If Mr. Zhu is interested, let's talk about it later if we have the opportunity.

It's getting late, so I have to go back to Chudu first and pack some clothes or something."

Originally, he was planning to fly to Xiangjiang with Lu Luxin, but Zhu Yanping happened to return to Fengqi Mountain to pay homage to Grandpa Zhu for his first seventh anniversary. He had to let the two of them take their own private plane, so Zhou Dong did not refuse.

He made an appointment with Zhu Yanping for the time and place to leave tomorrow, and Zhu Yanping asked the driver to send Zhou Dong back to Chu City.

Looking at the young man's departure back, Zhu Yanping smiled and didn't know what he was thinking.

I have much more freedom when taking a private plane. Zhou Dong and Zhu Yanping made an appointment to wait for the bus at the entrance of the Dingshi Breakfast Department at 10 am, and then fly directly from Chudu Airport to Xiangjiang. This is much more comfortable than taking a civil aviation flight, so you don’t have to worry about delaying anything.

The incident of participating in an international competition made Zhou Ma very nervous. She specially prepared a famous brand suit for her son, and her leather shoes were polished brightly. No matter what she said, Zhou Dong had to dress up.

Wu Chi, in order to make my mother happy, Zhou Dong could only put this outfit in Jiuzhou Dingshi, and then went to the mall to buy sportswear and sneakers. The tasting skills have not been activated for a long time. He is preparing to go to Xiangjiang to sweep the streets and taste delicious food, of course, he wears them as comfortable as he wears them.

Standing in front of the breakfast department, he said goodbye to the regular customers who had already received the news, and brought everyone's blessings. Zhou Dong got the most real information from those smiling faces. Just as the Lord Long said, everything was false, and it would be just like bringing the gold medal back! He even made a red sachet and stuffed it into his arms, and insisted that he was asking for it from Xinghua Temple in Yunlong Mountain.

"Old Zhou, I didn't expect that I would accidentally carry the expectations of the villagers. Is it stressful?"

Lu Luxin suddenly appeared in front of her, which scared Zhou Dong. No matter how he wanted to break his head, he would never have thought that this strong woman in the kitchen would dress like this.

She was wearing a refreshing white sportswear, wearing white shoes, showing off her youthful color without applying makeup, and a naughty ponytail was tied behind her head. She shook her around and looked like a female student in her senior year.

Zhou Dong looked at her with a straight look, feeling unspeakable. Why did Boss Hua choose the same sportswear as her? It's such a coincidence?

Lu Luxin looked at him and nodded, "I have a good taste, I'm almost catching up with me."

"I wouldn't have bought this brand if I had known this."

"What do you mean? Alas, you made it clear to me!"

Lu Luxin was furious and threw off her backpack and threw it into his hand: "You carry it!"

"What's so heavy?"

After taking this huge backpack, Zhou Dong frowned repeatedly. What was in it?

"Since it's taking Mr. Zhu's private plane, of course I have to bring my own knives.

Although the knives provided by the organizing committee are good, how can they compare to my black iron knife? You haven’t forgotten Inukai’s Blue Moon, right?”

Lu Luxin glared at him angrily: "You are relaxed, and you carry a plastic bag when you go out? Are you all men like this? They all look like adults at home, but they become mama babies who don't know anything when you go out?"

"The car is here!"

I really didn't realize that this 'Boss Flower' was quite careful and even brought the black iron knife. Why didn't I expect it?

Zhou Dong secretly complained that he was ashamed. Fortunately, the car of Zhu Yanping's school had arrived, which resolved his embarrassment.

Zhu Yanping’s private jet is the famous Gulfstream 550. Zhou Dong doesn’t know about the plane, but he only feels that the interior of the plane is spacious and luxuriously decorated, and it is probably more comfortable than sitting in the legendary first class cabin.

Because it was the first time I took a plane in my life, I was inevitably curious. I touched and asked, and Mr. Zhu’s personal flight attendant flew around in a short time, and the flowers trembled dozens of times.

He didn't feel anything, but Lu Luxin was embarrassed and blushed. After greeting Zhu Yanping, she simply found a place in the corner, saying that I didn't know this old man. Zhu Yanping laughed loudly and loved Zhou Dong's simple and innocent nature more and more.

I guess I didn’t know where I went to have fun last night. Not long after the plane took off, Lu, who had put his seat down as a bed, snorted a slight snoring sound. Zhu Yanping laughed and said, “This 'Boss Flower' is really a true character. You little brother, you are a good assistant.”

"I can't agree to her, anyway, it's the same for anyone to be an assistant."

"Haha, well said!"

The private flight attendant brought tea and snacks. Zhu Yanping greeted Zhou Dong for some food and drinks, and he held the tea and drank slowly: "It's good to have confidence, but little brother, you still shouldn't take it lightly.

This food competition is not simple. At present, the top chefs who know it on the surface include Huailiangren, the winner of the French Blue Belt Medal, Che Zaixi, the "Kimchi King" of Smith, the German "Pig King" Ham, and the island master of sword skills, the island country who is said to have already walked out of the flower field...

You are familiar with Huailiangren. Speaking of which, he is half of us. Even if he gets the Supreme Gold Award, it is not a big deal.

German ‘Pig King’ Ham was once the chef of the 2003 Gold Award team. He has not participated in the competition for many years. Now I can’t find the relevant information about him over the years. Now he suddenly makes a comeback. I’m afraid he has a great ambition.

There is also Che Zaixi, the "Kimchi King" of Simida Country. He is also a master of sword skills. It is said that he once went to the island country to challenge him and was unbeaten in thirty-three consecutive games. In the end, Inukatsu Jingzhai took action personally, which stopped him from winning streaks. That battle was rumored by the island people as the "Fight of the King of the Chef World".

Needless to say, Inukai Jingzhai, he is known as the "man closest to God in the island kitchen industry. He has not participated in such competitions for many years, but this time he is willing to go out of the flower field. I am afraid..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Luxin, who had been sleeping in a daze, suddenly replied: "I'm afraid he made a mistake in the flower field...huhhuh..."

After turning over, he continued to sleep. Zhu Yanping, who had always been well-educated, almost sprayed out the tea he had just drunk. He was stunned for a while before shook his head and smiled: "This boss Hua likes to joke. In short, you must know it in your heart and never take it lightly.

The competition was held in Xiangjiang, China. If this supreme gold medal was won by the islanders, Smith or Germans, then we would have no face.

So when the organizing committee selected the Huaxia roster this time, it was extremely strict. Sixteen chefs came from the entire Suzhou Province. Finally, the ones who were qualified to participate in the qualifiers in Xiangjiang were you and Master Yan Yi from the "Sujin Palace" in Hangzhou.

Although Master Yan has good craftsmanship, he focuses on vegetarian dishes. He is a lay disciple of the abbot of Lingyin Temple. He doesn't like to fight for force and win, and he may suffer losses in the competition.

So if you have to carry this flag in Suzhou Province frequently, you must rely on you, brother."

Zhou Dongxin said that they are all big shots, and even lay disciples have come out? This time the system task seems to be quite difficult.

"Mr...."

"Wait, I'll call you a little brother, but you're a gentleman. Isn't it too awkward? Or is it that my little brother dislikes me as a businessman full of money and doesn't want to make friends with me?"

Zhu Yanping pretended to be angry and said, "You call Village Chief Li a brother, and you will also call me a brother in the future."

"Okay, brother..."

Zhou Dong was also helpless. The guys he had recognized recently were older than the other. I guess he was destined to be with these old men?

Forget it, people have to accept their fate when they are alive.

"Brother Zhu, I listened to you after you talked about so many great people in the world's kitchen.

But how should so many chefs from all over the world compete?

I was wondering that the dishes learned by chefs from the East and the West are completely different. This is both preliminaries and finals. How should we compare the quality?"

Zhou Dong’s question is actually a question from many laymen. How should French chefs compare with Chinese chefs? Should they cook their own or cook the same dish?

Everyone has their own methods to make them lack judgment standards. Is it appropriate to play French snails and onion stewed sea cucumbers together? It is even more irrelevant to make the same dish. It is probably not a big problem for Chinese chefs to make foie gras. You can ask the French chef to try stinky tofu to ensure you are confused.

Zhu Yanping was stunned: "You don't know the competition rules?

After you are determined to be qualified for the qualifiers, the organizing committee should send a competition system description to your email address. Didn't you read it?"

"Uh, I might have forgotten."

"Okay, I'll explain it to you."

Zhu Yanping said helplessly: "The competition is divided into qualifiers and finals.

Except for the seed players, they all have to start from the qualifiers.

It was earlier stipulated that the group of players who won the gold and silver medals could become seed players and directly enter the semi-finals.

This year, because the parameters are changed to individuals, the regulations have become more stringent. Only last year's Supreme Gold Award winner Huai Liangren can directly enter the finals.

However, if a chef with a high reputation in a certain country and region, the organizing committee will also consider adding him to the list of seed contestants after being recommended by an authoritative person in the region.

For example, Huai Liangren once recommended you, but because you were too young and had not shown enough strength, you were rejected by the organizing committee in the end.”

Zhou Dong nodded: "Did those people you mentioned just now pass the seed contestants except Huailiangren, such as the one that Quanyang Jingzhai?"
