Chapter 990 The Battle Begins

Let’s not talk about Yin Ya for now, but Taoxi Road is now very popular because of the new dishes.

This directly led to the fact that Taoxi Road, which was already busy every day, was now even more crowded. To describe it as crowded was not an exaggeration at all. At this time, people from the queuing committee had to take action.

In order to let more people eat delicious food, the queuing committee carefully organized the queue and tried to save everyone's time. The diners are also very cooperative about this. They leave after eating and then change to the next one.

Because there were too many people, the other shops on Taoxi Road were doing much better business today, the most obvious one being Li Li's Western Restaurant not far away.

There are about 35% more customers today than usual. There is a saying that a person learns from a lesson. When Li Li saw this situation now, he would not even think that he had made it more delicious.

Instead, he called his chef to ask if there were any activities at the small shop in front of him today.

The fat chef touched his fat belly, took a careful look at Li Li's face, and then replied: "It seems that there are new dishes."

Li Li nodded and said that this was reasonable. He said: "Buck up, because that small shop has new dishes today, we will be very busy, so we must be serious and responsible, and we cannot neglect it."

This was probably the situation. The hot situation on Taoxi Road lasted until the third day.

At noon on the third day, Yuan Zhou finished his work again and stretched out, his joints crackling.

Yuanzhou dug a hole for himself and buried himself in it. So many new dishes were served at once, and he was exhausted.

"Huh... we have to win the game as soon as possible. It won't be good if it delays dinner time." Yuanzhou said to himself.

"Try to be back at six o'clock." Yuan Zhou estimated as he looked up at the time.

Yes, this afternoon is the time for Yuan Zhou to fight against the twenty-eight stores.

Regarding Yuan Zhou's attitude, if Chef Li and the others were to find out, they would be so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. You must know that this group of people, in order to maintain a good competitive state, have not drank or played cards for two days. I have been staying in front of the stove.

With a bang, the rolling shutter door was pulled down, and Technician Cheng waited quietly.

Technician Cheng has a very high status in both the Chinese Chef Alliance and the Sichuan Cuisine Alliance. How could he not be clear about such a challenge?

Therefore, Technician Cheng came here specifically to be the driver today. He directly invited Yuan Zhou into the car, and then drove smoothly and quickly to Ren Yu Building.

For this kind of event and competition, the entire floor is usually reserved, but the people from the Sichuan Cuisine Association had already arranged everything yesterday.

The arrangements were very good, including not only the cooking station, but also the press promotion. Although there was no live TV broadcast or online broadcast of this competition, the momentum was still quite large. After all, there were still many people who were curious.

What's more, those 28 stores still have some groups of relatives and friends to help out.

Yuanzhou took out the electronic invitation card on his mobile phone, verified it, and went directly to the lobby.

Ren Yu Building is an office building with very high standards. This is first reflected in its area. Yuan Zhou can't see it all at a glance.

There is a red and blue cooking table in the center. Behind the cooking table are neatly arranged ingredients, all prepared in advance according to the menus reported by both parties.

Chef Li and others have already arrived. There are thirty-five people in total, which is quite a big group standing in a pile.

In fact, we were planning to have more people come, but only so many invitations were sent out, and it wasn't like they were here for a group fight.

To be honest, Chef Li and others have rarely experienced such a big scene. Being interviewed by reporters is not actually called an interview, it is just a chat about some things.

"For this competition,

Some people say that you have doubts about the winner of the demonstration store. "The reporter asked in a polite tone.

"It can't be called doubtful. To be precise, I hope it can be better. Chef Yuan Zhou is still young after all, and many experienced things still need to be taught by old chefs like us." said Chef Li.

As Yuan Zhou said, Chef Li is not like a chef, but more like a businessman.

In comparison, Yuan Zhou was much more low-key, with no assistant or second chef. He came dressed in Hanfu, with dark lotus patterns on the cuffs and hem, looking elegant and indifferent.

"Master Yuan, I'll wait for you to finish." Technician Cheng said in a respectful tone.

"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded without declining.

Seeing Yuan Zhou nodding, Technician Cheng turned around and left.

This time Technician Cheng didn't say anything about helping. After all, in Technician Cheng's opinion, those 28 joint stores were not even clowns. Asking if he needed help was simply an insult to Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship.

Therefore, Technician Cheng stood aside quietly and waited for a while to send Yuan Zhou back.

After talking to Technician Cheng, Yuanzhou walked to the Lanfang cooking table to familiarize himself with the kitchen utensils. Apart from anything else, he first needed to get comfortable with the knife. First, he cut a potato to practice his skills.

Four judges, Zhou Shijie, Zhang Yan, Bai Xiaoxiao, and Wang Xiang, are already in place.

Regarding the lineup of judges, there have been some changes. Except for the two presidents, the remaining ones, Wang Xiang and Bai Xiaoxiao, are not very familiar to Yuan Zhou.

The reason why it is called "not very familiar" is because Yuan Zhou seems to have heard of these two names.

Although Bai Xiaoxiao is only in his forties this year, he is the king of seafood in Sichuan Province. Sichuan Province is not close to the sea, and 30% of the seafood in Sichuan Province is shipped by Bai Xiaoxiao. The most important thing Yes, the high-end seafood market in Sichuan Province is monopolized by Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao loves to eat, so he has good relationships with many chefs, and he also has a high level of appreciation for seafood.

Wang Xiang used to have a nickname, "Haimen King". More than ten years ago, he was known as the largest shrimp in Sichuan Province.

The small green dragon with garlic paste is very good. Please explain, the so-called small green dragon is Australian lobster.

Generally speaking, it is completely reasonable to invite Bai Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiang for this competition. As an aside, the materials for this competition are all actively sponsored by Bai Xiaoxiao.

The competition is about to begin. Since it is a competition of Sichuan cuisine, the chairman of the judging panel this time is Zhang Yan, who will announce the start of the competition.

Skimming through the opening words, how is Sichuan cuisine culture, followed by an introduction to the competing dishes of both sides.

"Here are the battle dishes for both sides." Zhang Yan turned to look at the screen and said solemnly.

Fourteen dishes appeared on the screen, the one on the left was Chef Li on the red side, and the one on the right was Yuanzhou on the blue side.

Representatives of the red side: spicy shrimps, winter bamboo shoots and red ginseng, pickled pepper arctic clams, dry pot small yellow croaker, cold conch, flame squid, and rolling crab balls.

Blue side represents: red pepper shrimp forest, red ginseng and bamboo shoot sea, spicy seashell meat, three fish pumice, conch mixed with soup, eight-claw flaming mountain, large crab balls
