    Ah Liu looked in shock at the girl in front of him who was smiling at him. His mind exploded. Did you choose him?  He is about to join the powerful Master Xiao Su on an expedition to the kitchen of the White House in the United States?  This information bloomed like fireworks in his mind, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it, and he himself almost fainted from happiness. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? When he came to participate in the competition, his master patted him on the shoulder and just told him to do his best. Now he can actually be a chef assistant and participate in the King of Kitchen Competition?  Suman nodded to A Liu. The reason for choosing A Liu was very simple. Zhu Er chose Bao Ziling and cut off an arm. She was unwilling to win without a fight. A Liu was not as strong as the other two partners.  , put it here, but it¡¯s just right.  There is another reason. A Liu can also speak Mandarin, so it is more convenient for two people to communicate. A Liu himself is also a Chinese foodie. If Suman wants to cook something, A Liu will definitely handle it better than others. Suman and Zhu Er  , both parties have chosen their partners. Old Andrew waved his hand, and several waiters immediately led a few people together, and then entered a splendid small living room.  Others paid it off, but Suman was very surprised. Old Andrew actually copied the study room in his manor completely. Even the fireplace was exactly the same. There was also a pile of unburned wood piled inside. Old Andrew was sitting on the rocking chair.  He sat down, glanced at a few people, and motioned for them to sit down on the sofa.  Several people already had the idea of ??a camp, so they spontaneously occupied one of the two couches.  Old Andrew narrowed his eyes, "In three days, the President of the United States and his wife will entertain the visiting President of Kenya at the White House. My child, you are very lucky. This is a rare state banquet." After a pause, Old Andrew looked towards  Suman looked at Suman with a much softer expression on his face: "You are very smart. You have chosen an American as your partner. If you have any questions, let your partner explain it to you later." Suman was thoughtful, but he didn't expect that he was careless.  The act of inserting a willow also brought such benefits. When choosing a partner, she chose James first, just because she believed in his strength, and she temporarily forgot about his American identity.  Old Andrew looked at Zhu Er again and said in a much colder tone: "Mr. Pig, I have to remind you that the Queen's investiture dinner is one of the most important dinners of the year. I hope you can pay attention to it." UK  The Queen holds countless dinners throughout the year, for various purposes, whether it is political needs, private meetings, or holiday dinners to celebrate New Year and Christmas.  The award dinner is a very special one.  As a country that still retains the constitutional monarchy of the royal family, the United Kingdom naturally retains various titles systems. However, compared to the powerful nobles who owned land and real estate in the Middle Ages, the various new titles now are more like honorary rewards.  Only those who have outstanding performance in the Commonwealth will be awarded the title of Honorary Baronet. For the recipient, it is a great honor and the most important manifestation of the royal family's status.  Therefore, the annual Queen¡¯s Investiture Dinner is very important.  After Old Andrew finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment. After a moment, Old Andrew glanced at the two of them and said slowly: "One more thing, I need to remind you that London, England, and New York, USA, have a five-hour gap.  The time difference, in fact, is that the Queen's dinner is over and the President's state banquet has not yet started. It is an advantage and a disadvantage. I hope you can grasp it yourself. " "Five hours?" Suman raised his eyes thoughtfully, and looked at Zhu Er blankly.  After a confrontation, the two looked at each other and then looked away.  If Zhu Er performs well, Suman will naturally be under great pressure, but at the same time, Zhu Er's performance has ended but she has not yet started, which means there are more possibilities.  Old Andrew's slightly hoarse voice sounded again: "In addition, the specific content of this dinner will be decided by you. Even if you want to make dumplings, make noodles, and have a pure Chinese meal, that's fine. Your Excellency, President,  Neither I nor Her Majesty will be involved in your choice." After saying that, Old Andrew glanced at Suman and Zhu Er with ulterior motives. They were slightly startled, and both bowed their heads gratefully.  Old Andrew's meaning was very clear, that there was no limit, as long as they tried their best to make a masterpiece that would amaze everyone. After saying that, he waved his hand tiredly, indicating that they could leave and insist.  Standing on the deck for several hours has already exceeded the old man's limit.  Several people filed out of the room. Goodwin entered from another room with a plate, placed the plate respectfully in front of the old man, poured another cup of steaming coffee, mixed it with milk, and placed it in the old man's hand.  , "Sir, your coffee, double milk, no sugar added." Old Andrew took a sip of the mellow coffee and nodded with satisfaction. After more than a year of training, this kid is now more comfortable in using it.    Looking at Old Andrew's face, Goodwin asked cautiously: "Sir, do you think 8 will win this time?" Old Andrew smiled: "How much money did you put on her?" In fact, the chefs all  I don¡¯t know, but the highlight of every World Chefs Conference is the final bet for the King of Chefs Competition.  Goodwin scratched his head and said with a simple smile: "I have advanced ten years' salary." Old Andrew glanced at him with a half-smile, "You do have confidence in her." His fingers lightly touched the back of the chair.  A light tap, in fact, he was not. He made a big bet this time, hoping that 8 would not disappoint him. As soon as Suman and others left Old Andrew's cabin, they immediately went back to the room to pack their luggage. Time was running out.  They had to leave immediately. Suman's team was delayed longer on the road than Zhu Er. After all, the HOD was now parked at the edge of the European continent.  From this point of view, Suman actually suffered a bit.  Unlike in the past, where you would log in by speedboat and then take a civil aircraft, this time, a helicopter came directly and took several people directly to the airport.  Soon, several people will catch the latest flight to Washington. The chefs thoughtfully booked all the first-class seats. Suman put down her luggage, and the remaining three people sat down next to her in a sensible manner.  .  It was very noisy inside the helicopter on the road, and several people never had a chance to talk.  Suman first looked at the American James and said sincerely: "James, how much do you know about the American state banquet?" James straightened his long legs, crossed his hands on his chest, his blue eyes gradually deepened, and he smiled bitterly: "I  How could I not understand? In fact, my motivation for becoming a chef was to become the chief chef of the White House." Suman blinked and asked doubtfully, "Your goal is not to become a Michelin star chef or a French Cordon Bleu.  Chef, double chef?" James shrugged his shoulders: "Those resumes are just to prove my strength. My ultimate goal is to enter the White House back cook." Suman nodded, and A Liu stared at him.  The new chefs competing this time were not familiar with each other. For Mr. James, he only knew that he was a strong man who had entered the third level. As for his origins, he had no idea at all.  Unexpectedly, Mr. James is so ambitious. Not only does he want to win both Michelin chefs and Le Cordon Bleu chefs, his ultimate goal is to enter the White House. Compared with him, he just wants to be the chef of Tianxiang House.  Desire is too narrow.  James sighed softly, "Can you imagine that not long ago, the chef of the White House in the United States was always occupied by the French, and the menus of the state banquet were all written in French." Suman opened her mouth in shock. How young is she?  , and even though I work in a Beijing hotel, I still haven¡¯t had any contact with real high-level people, and most of the guests I face are ordinary people.  It is not very clear about the customs and customs of the upper classes in various countries.  But when she heard James say it, she compared her feelings with others and imagined a dinner party in Zhongnanhai. The chef was British and the menu was all written in English, and she couldn't stand it immediately.  No wonder James is upset. The United States is the largest country in the world in terms of economic and political strength, but the state banquet uses a French menu. It is indeed a bit incredible.  At the same time, Suman also breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief. Since James has set his goal of being the chef of the White House, he must know a lot about the state banquet in the White House. He suddenly felt a little more confident about this battle.  James was silent for a while, calmed down, and spoke again: "The White House state banquet has a precise definition. It can only be called a state banquet when entertaining foreign heads of state. Generally speaking, the first state banquet of the President will be held at the White House.  A banquet for the heads of state of neighboring countries, the Prime Minister of Canada or the President of Mexico." Suman propped up her cheek with one hand and listened intently to these anecdotes. For the first time, she felt that the burden on her body was lifted. She was about to host a meeting between the two heads of state.  During the dinner, Jerome and Alius did not dare to be distracted. They could lose, but they could not lose because they were holding back. James paused and hesitated: "However, the number of state banquets held is still the same as that of previous presidents.  It has something to do with his personality. For example, the previous presidents were easy to say and basically held forty or fifty state banquets, but this time, President Bush has only held a few state banquets since he became president. "  After a pause and a glance to the left and right, James' voice suddenly lowered, with a mysterious look on his face: "It is said that up to one-third of the guests declined the president's dinner invitation." Suman couldn't hold it back.  He burst out laughing, and Jerome also opened his mouth wide. Only A Liu was dumbfounded.  These crazy guys, that James just now, seemed to be hinting that thisPresident Bush is very unpopular.
