Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the auditorium of the Workers' Club, the semi-finals of the gourmet cooking competition are in full swing.  The game has reached a critical stage. We are so close to the championship and everyone wants to take another step forward.  The contestants on the stage tried their best, and there were endless exciting scenes.  The audience also cheered frequently.  " However, Jiang Yichen and others were a little absent-minded because they didn't know what happened to Chef Zhao Hongsheng.  After a while, Du Yuan finally couldn¡¯t sit still.  "I'll go take a look backstage." He said to Jiang Yichen and the others, then stood up, bent over, and walked quickly towards the passage on one side.  About twenty minutes later, Du Yuan came back with a sullen look on his face.  "What's wrong?" Jiang Yichen saw that he looked wrong and asked quickly.  "Huh, something happened in Lao Zhao's restaurant." Duyuan sat on his seat, took a breath, and responded angrily.  Jiang Yichen couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.  "What's wrong? Did someone give me some?" Ma Detao made a bold guess.  "Don't talk nonsense." Duyuan glared at him fiercely, and then told the two of them the news he had just learned from Chef Zhao.  In order to prepare for the semi-finals, Jinjiang Fishing Port Restaurant specially ordered a bluefin tuna from the supplier.  This is the most valuable species of tuna and is sought after by high-end gourmets from all over the world. However, due to slow growth and fishing, the number in the ocean is also decreasing year by year, and it is difficult to see it in the general aquatic product market.  Boss Cui finally found this after searching through his own supply channels.  Just this morning, people from the Logistics and Purchasing Department went to pick up the goods, but were unexpectedly told that the blue-fin golden gun had been forcibly bought in advance at double the price. It is said that some coercion methods were also used.  The specific details are not clear, but this is generally the case.  "Wow, there is such a thing. How can others know about Boss Cui's supply channels?" Ma Detao asked in surprise.  "This is confusing. They suspect that there may be a traitor who has been bribed by competitors." Duyuan explained.  "It's unlucky enough, what should we do? Are Chef Zhao and the others going to give up?" Ma Detao asked again.  "No. Lao Zhao also has a stubborn temper. He refuses to admit defeat and is ready to fight hard. Oh, I can't swallow this breath." Duyuan continued to tell.  You can do something weird at this time.  They are definitely competitors on the field, but no one will admit it without any evidence.  And now is obviously not the time to track down the culprit.  After the incident, Boss Cui had to urgently seek help from suppliers and colleagues, but as expected.  With something like bluefin tuna, the likelihood of finding another one in such a short period of time is extremely slim.  In the end, after all the hard work, I only managed to get an average yellowfin tuna, which was barely used as the main ingredient for Chef Zhao to participate in the semi-finals.  "That's no different from admitting defeat." Ma Detao shook his head after hearing this.  There may not be much difference between tuna produced in different species and waters in the mouths of ordinary people.  But in the current high-level culinary competition, especially when faced with a few senior judges who are well-informed and have almost picky tastes, the difference between the quality of the food is basically invisible.  No matter how skilled the chef is and how perfect the processing techniques are, it will certainly not be able to completely make up for the shortcomings of the ingredients.  What's more, the opponent is not an ordinary person.  It looks like this.  Defeat is almost certain.  Jiang Yichen remained silent, intuitively feeling that there was something fishy here.  Although the standards of this cooking and food competition are not low, after all, it is only a municipal event, rather than having such a big impact at the provincial or national levels.  Most of the participants are major high-end restaurants in the city, and there are many time-honored ones among them. Although there is commercial competition between them, but just for a competition ranking or a championship title, it is not said to be too low-key.  This kind of process, right?  You must know that buying the other party's insiders, coercing, and buying at high prices requires a lot of effort and money.  Moreover, if the matter is exposed, it will be said to be a great loss for people in the industry circle, loss of face, and the price will be quite high.  Not enough benefit.  I'm afraid not many people are willing to do this.  ¡° I have no way of knowing what the inside story is here, it¡¯s just a guess.  ¡°In addition, I can only watch on the side now and cannot help. After all, no one has the ability to immediately get Chef Zhao a piece of fresh, high-quality bluefin tuna meat.  Because something happened.  People's interest in watching the game was greatly reduced, and the fierce competition between the players on the stage became a bit boring.  After a while, the sashimi work of the two groups of players in the first half was coming to an end, and they were making final fine adjustments.  &nbspJiang Yichen stroked his chin with one hand and looked at the large LCD screen on the side of the stage, suddenly seeming to remember something.  He frowned and thought for a while, then bent down and stood up.  "What are you doing?" Ma Detao asked.  "Go to the bathroom." Jiang Yichen responded and walked towards the passage on one side.  "Really, didn't we go there together when we came in just now? I can't hold it in for a while. It's time to go to the hospital for a check-up later." Ma Detao muttered in a low voice.  About a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Yichen returned to his seat.  At this time, the first half of the game has ended and it has entered the referee stage.  Jiang Yichen rested his elbows on the armrests, crossed his hands, and concentrated on watching the judges taste and comment on each dish.  The scoring results were announced. The two players in the first half received high scores of 56 and 58 respectively, and the audience burst into applause.  This score is already quite good, but whether you can enter the final depends on the performance of the next two players.  Entering the intermission, today the organizing committee invited a popular local male singer to perform on stage, along with a group of dancing girls.  The singers sang and danced very hard, and the audience did not hesitate to cheer.  After the song was sung, the artists bowed and left the stage.  Chef Zhao finally appeared on the stage and worked with his assistants on the final preparations before the game.  Competing with him on the same stage is contestant No. 47, Chef Zhang Yunfeng, the representative of Huanglong Seafood City.  Strong, scoring the same points as him in the quarterfinals.  Chef Zhao had no expression on his face, but carefully inspected every cooking utensil.  "Old Zhao is quite calm, hey, what a pity." Ma Detao said, and sighed with regret.  ¡°When things have come to this, they can still take it so seriously. Their psychological quality and professionalism are really admirable.  "Oh, I just watched the show." Thinking that the originally fierce and tense competition suddenly turned into reading with me, which was boring and boring, Du Yuan felt quite depressed.  Someone else was sitting in the front row. Jiang Yichen glanced around and found out that it was Boss Cui, who was short and fat with a thick chin.  I saw him leaning on the back of the chair, his face pale and his eyes filled with confusion.  It seems that the blow suffered is not small.  Jiang Yichen's eyes only stayed on him for a few seconds, and then moved away to the stage.  (To be continued.) xh118?¡­
