Chapter 105 Unexpected Invitation Letter (3)
Man Chengde picked up a small piece of fish and put it in his mouth, then closed his eyes slightly, and savored the taste of the fish carefully.
Everyone held their breath and carefully observed Man Chengde's expression, for fear of missing the most important expression.[]
It took a long time before Man Chengde opened his eyes, his expression was very relaxed, he looked around with a smile, and nodded slightly.
"Grandpa, how does this taste like? You said something!" Manqing asked anxiously.
Man Chengde said with a hahahaha, "Hahaha, don't be anxious! OK, I'll talk about this taste. First of all, I have to thank the little chef for cooking such delicious food for me."
Seeing Man Chengde say this, the fish restaurant was naturally relieved.
Man Chengde continued, "This taste is indeed extremely good. To be honest, I am a good person, but I am ashamed that although I claim to eat all Chinese food, this is the first time I have such delicious food."
Man Chengde's evaluation has pushed the level of the fish flavor restaurant to the peak, but everyone still wants to hear what Man Chengde's specific evaluation of this pure fish.
Sure enough, Man Chengde continued, "The cooks of this pure fish have already mixed the flavor to the extreme. The few garlic flowers and some shredded ginger added here look inconspicuous, but the effect is just right and plays the finishing touch.
Our ancestors found ingredients that we thought could be seasoned from the herbs. These condiments such as green onions, garlic, ginger and spicy have been tempered by years. They can be said to be the essence of Chinese cuisine seasoning, but they are the easiest to be overlooked. They have never carefully studied the usage of these condiments.
But today, I met a here who can skillfully use these inconspicuous seasonings. In addition to adding salt, the fish is all natural seasonings, so it tastes very mellow, and it is just right to call it a pure taste."
The people in the Fish Flavor House and the customers watching the side applauded one after another.
"Wait, I'll try it too. I'll see if the change of this pure fish has improved or reversed!" Manqing said. She was a little worried that her grandfather had never eaten the pure fish. Although the taste had changed, he couldn't taste it.
Manqing quickly picked up a piece of fish from the bowl and put it in her mouth. After savoring it, the taste of the fish was a little different from before, but it was not reversed, but the taste was more plump, soft and fragrant, and long-lasting. The taste actually improved again!
Man Qing nodded and smiled, "Yeah, it's indeed improved!"
"From the old man's evaluation, we can also see that the old man is really a food expert. On behalf of all the staff of the Fish Flavor Restaurant, I would like to thank the old man for his high evaluation." Yan Yuan said.
A smile appeared on Jiangbian's face. His first attempt was recognized, which shows that the hard work these days has not been in vain.
When everyone slowly dispersed, Man Chengde suddenly remembered something, "I don't know if the chef of this fish restaurant has participated in this cooking competition. If he participates, there will be no problem in winning a ranking. That young man has a good foundation in knife skills. Although the cooking skills are a little tender, his cooking spirit is really enviable. If he can continue to study, he will definitely be a benchmark in the cooking industry in the future!"
"Grandpa, I haven't seen you have such a high opinion of others yet!" Manqing said.
"This fish is really good! At first I thought you were bragging for your friends, but I didn't expect it to be really good." Man Chengde said.
"What kind of friends? I'm not familiar with them at all!" Manqing said.
"I'm not familiar with it? I just saw you just now seeing the affectionate appearance of that little chef. Are you unfamiliar?" Man Chengde smiled.
"Hey, I'm too lazy to argue with your old concept! The last time I came here for an interview, I accidentally found that the taste of this fish flavor restaurant is really good, and the object I want to interview is actually the chef of this fish flavor restaurant." Man Qing said.
"It was the first time you went out for field?" asked Man Chengde.
Man Qing nodded. Man Qing then told Man Chengde carefully about what happened that day. Then he smiled, "Now do you know what I have to do with them?"
"You won't advertise them in the news just because they gave benefits, right?" Man Chengde smiled. He naturally knew that his granddaughter wouldn't do such a thing.
"Benefits? Every time I come here, I pay for it, and I don't even enjoy the priority." Man Qing gave Man Chengde a disdainful look.
"Well, this is my good granddaughter of Man Chengde!" Man Chengde said proudly.
But after a while, Man Chengde said with some disappointment, "Oh! I thought you had a good relationship with that little chef! If that were the case, I would have a good time!"
"No! Grandpa, you won't sell your granddaughter in a blink of an eye to make a feast for the sake of your happiness, right?" Manqing said.
"The young man is very spiritual, but unfortunately he is a chef!" Man Chengde sighed again.
"So what's wrong?" Man Qing asked in confusion.
"Haha, you little girl should find a boyfriend, I'm still waiting to hold my great-grandson!" said Man Chengde.
Man Qing naturally understood the meaning of Man Chengde's words and smiled, "You are a hundred years old, just wait slowly!"
"Oh, by the way, please ask me later. Is that young man signed up for the cooking competition?" said Man Chengde.
"Okay, let's ask when I've eaten enough. Maybe we can have a free meal!" Manqing said with a smile.
"Okay, wait a moment, you go and ask them to get free!" Man Chengde smiled.
"That's not OK! You pay for your words when you come today. If you want to be corrupt, you, the vice president of the cooking association, will be corrupt!" Man Qing said with a smile.
Manqing and Manchengde were like children, fighting for the fish in the bowl, and they ate it with relish.
After even the fish soup was drunk, Manqing stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Hey, chef, are there any specialties in cutting this dough?" Manqing walked into the kitchen, but saw the riverside cutting the dough seriously, thinking that it was a new dish.
"Uh! Practice the sword technique." Jiangbian told the truth.
Manqing also said that he was dedicated to the riverside. He practiced sword skills frequently as a chef. "Oh, you have become a chef, and you still use sword skills?"
"Well, you can't help but feel good!" Jiangbian smiled. The chefs around couldn't help laughing.
Manqing didn't know what they were laughing at, but fortunately she didn't forget her business, "By the way, have you signed up for this cooking competition?"
"Report! Otherwise..." Jiangbian hurriedly kept silent. Originally, he wanted to say, otherwise why would he work so hard?
But Manqing was eager to tell grandpa the news, but he didn't pay attention to the unfinished words on the riverside.
"Wait a minute, I'll tell you again!" After that, he left again in a hurry.
Jiangbian looked up at Manqing's back, and then buried his head in practicing swordsmanship.
"Master! This beauty probably fell in love with you. Look, every time she comes to our fish flavor restaurant, she never sees you make pure fish in the kitchen?" Shi Junyong said. After the last incident, Shi Junyong was found to have no involvement in the theft of secret soup, so naturally he was not cleaned.
"I didn't come for me, but for the fish! I fainted, am I not as good as the pure fish?" Jiangbian said, and he also laughed.
After a while, Man Qing walked in again and said to the riverside, "Well, little master, I have an invitation letter from the Cooking Association here. With this invitation letter, you can directly enter the final circle of the cooking competition. Relatively speaking, the final circle should be more objective."
Because the referee's power in the qualifiers is too great, some unfair phenomena will inevitably occur. If the cooking skills are just out, the cooking skills are eliminated. Since the cooking skills association was originally a very loose social organization, even if they knew that this situation happened, because these people were doing it in a relatively hidden way, there was no way to eliminate it.
In order to make some good seedlings stand out, the Cooking Association has retained some invitation letters and distributed them specifically to chefs who have good cooking skills but cannot directly enter the final group.
These invitations are distributed by senior management core personnel of the Cooking Association, and are also used to take care of people with special relationships for the operation of the association.
As vice president of the Cooking Association, Man Chengde naturally has a certain number of invitations and has the authority to issue them. In fact, no club can be infighting without interests. To this day, a compromise has actually formed between each senior management.
Man Chengde is a very upright person, but he has no way to deal with these situations. Those who have retired from the officialdom have long become commonplace for this situation, so he naturally has ways to deal with it.
Jiang Bian took the invitation letter from Man Qing in surprise. When he looked up, he found that the column of the invitation letter was empty.
"Just fill in your name, then find a registration office and register. Don't worry, as long as you have such a number, you can guarantee that you can enter the finals directly." Manqing said.
"Thank you so much!" Jiangbian said. Although Jiangbian was not so clear about the ways in it, he knew that this invitation was not so easy to obtain.
"No need to thank you, you have the strength to enter the finals, but if you participate in the qualifiers, you may not be able to be shortlisted. For you, it is a great unfairness! My grandfather is from the Cooking Association, and he doesn't want to see a cooking genius like you who cannot participate in such a competition. It is also a great loss for the Cooking Competition." Manqing said.
*******
Xiao Yalin, who has the invitation letter, naturally doesn’t have to worry about her qualifications to enter the finals like the riverside. But it doesn’t mean that Xiao Yalin can relax. In fact, she is even more aggressive than the riverside to prepare for a game.
Li Yueji was extremely worried about Xiao Yalin's hard work, "Sister Yalin, your cooking skills are already quite good. Since it is the best in Qiantang City in fish dishes. I think as long as you perform normally, there will definitely be no problem winning a championship."
"Rose, you are wrong. I participated in the cooking competition not to win a championship! For me, ranking is not the most important thing. As long as I can improve my cooking skills and learn more advanced cooking skills, even if I am the last one, I will be willing." Xiao Yalin said.
Chapter completed!
