I Have a Seaside Five-star Hotel

Exhibition matches are different from regular competitive matches. They are meant to expand influence, exchange experience, and promote publicity.

What is more important is the display of chef skills, the beauty of dishes and the dining atmosphere.

Although it does not determine life or death,

But under the eyes of everyone, who is good and who is bad has nowhere to hide.

If something went wrong at this time, it would be a disgrace to the whole of Nanjiang.

so,

In order to ensure the fun of the competition and the reputation of each hotel in the competition, the judges invited by the competition are all responsible for important tasks.

It is necessary to select the one with the best flavor, image and meaning, but also not to let the restaurant at the back of the queue get off the table.

The task is very heavy.

As the competition began, reporters and judges visited each restaurant's kitchen workspace half-promoted and half-recorded, stopping to watch and comment from time to time.

In short, it’s just a formality.

Xu Bayi also looked like he was taking a leisurely walk, completely treating this competition as a way to relax and unwind.

"Lao Xu, I heard that your family Xiaobo went to study abroad and didn't come home this year?"

In the referee tour group, a middle-aged man stood next to Xu Bayi, chatting while walking from kitchen to kitchen.

"No."

Xu Ba spy sighed: "This kid has been strong since he was a child. I originally wanted to send him out to see the world, but he insisted that he had too much to learn and wanted to take advantage of the vacation to make up for his studies. No matter how hard I tried to persuade him, he wouldn't come back. .”

Xu Ba's spy had a mixed look on his face.

Although it was a good thing for his children to be strong, he couldn't help but miss his son.

This was the first time in so many years that Xu Bo didn't go home to celebrate the New Year. If it weren't for the fact that there was business in Nanjiang and he couldn't leave, he would have wanted to take Xu Bo and his mother to fly abroad to spend the New Year with his son.

"Sigh, I don't know if he ate well outside."

Here, Agent Xu Ba was melancholy, and suddenly the middle-aged man beside him spoke,

"Hey?!"

"Old Xu, look at the man in front of you, how does he look so much like your Xiaobo?"

"Which one?" Xu Bayi looked up curiously.

I saw a young man in the kitchen work area of ​​Langai Hotel, wearing a white chef's uniform, standing behind the workbench and giving instructions to other chefs, as if he was taking charge of the overall situation and strategizing.

It seems that I didn't say it in detail enough.

The young man also took out a notebook from the side and was drawing something on the paper while talking about his ideas with everyone.

After explaining for a long time, everyone finally unified their thoughts and showed determination in their eyes.

The young man patted the table with his right hand and said, "Let's get started!"

As if hearing the order, more than a dozen kitchen employees quickly stood at their work stations and took action immediately.

Looking at the young man's face, Xu Ba's expression became stiff.

"It's over, it's over, it's time to reveal the secret."

Chen Jianhai hid beside him and watched secretly, his heart in his throat nervously.

"Uncle Xu has such a good reputation, he definitely can't hit someone on the spot." Xiaolang's voice was a little trembling,

"Wori, he walked over the big wave!"

Behind the kitchen counter at Langai Hotel,

Xu Bo had no idea that he had been targeted by Xu Ba's spy.

While kneading the noodles, he turned around and told the soup head worriedly: "The taste of other dishes is already very strong, the taste of the soup must be reduced."

"Okay, Brother Qiongni." Tangtou shouted, lowering his head to adjust the heat.

next moment,

Tangtou suddenly whispered, "Brother Qiongni, there is someone in front of you who has been looking at you and seems to know you."

Xu Bo was stunned and looked up.

I saw Xu Bayi standing in front of the transparent workbench, veins bulging on his forehead, fists clenched, and his bulging muscles could be seen through his shirt.

"dad……?"

Xu Bo was stunned, cold sweat broke out instantly, and his hands and feet were cold.

Although he said before that he was ignorant and fearless, he would risk anything for his dream.

But when I really saw Agent Xu standing in front of me, my legs were really weak!

"Xiaobo?" The middle-aged man looked surprised, "Just now your dad said that you were staying abroad to study and not coming back for the New Year. Why are you here?"

It would be better not to say this.

When Xu Ba spy heard this, his eyelids jumped a few times.

He opened his mouth, and finally smiled stiffly, and said with a thin smile:

"You didn't even tell your family when you went home for the holidays, but instead came here to participate in the Master of Chef competition behind your mother's and me's back?"

The middle-aged man glanced sideways at Spy Xu, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, do you have a cramp in your face or something? Just now you were thinking about your son so much, but now your expression looks like you want to kill someone."

Seeing that Xu Ba's condition was not right, Xu Bo quickly said: "I was originally going to celebrate the festival at school, but a few days ago I heard that Nanjiang City was holding a five-star hotel chef competition, so I asked Haizi for a place in the competition. , I want to come and experience it.”

As soon as he said this, Xu Ba's eyes fell directly on Chen Jianhai.

That gaze almost looked at Chen Jianhai completely.

"You're targeting me...!"

Chen Jianhai's scalp went numb, and he was about to open his mouth to explain, but the other party snorted coldly and walked forward.

"What's going on? Are you ready to settle accounts after the fall?" Xiaolang asked tremblingly.

"You can settle the accounts anytime, as long as you don't mess up the situation, you can do whatever you want!" Chen Jianhai's voice was weak and he didn't dare to wonder what Xu Bayi was thinking.

Xu Bo looked at Xu Ba's figure stiffly, then took a deep breath, with a broken expression on his face.

The most fearful time is always before the fear comes.

Once you face your fear head-on, the pressure in your heart is released!

Xu Bo gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to put all his strength into his face, and exerted all his strength.

2 hours passed quickly.

After placing the plates at the food outlet, I quickly checked each dish again.

The gongs and drums of "duang" sounded, and the game ended.

Each restaurant will place the prepared food in front of their own table, waiting for the judges to taste it.

Here, before Xu Bayi and others had time to start tasting from the first one, they saw the middle of the tent crowded with people, and exclamations and noises came from inside.

"What is that, a bird cage?"

"What a bird cage? It's obviously a white peacock, and what's shining around it are the peacock's feathers!"

"Why do I look at those glowing chocolates?"

"You can pull it down, your chocolate is glowing!"

…

Listening to the discussion inside getting louder and louder,

When some reporters from Gu saw the crowd crowded in the middle of the tent, they quickly ran over with their machines to see what was going on.

Huang Baichuan, Xu Bayi and others were also a little curious and walked over.

But as soon as I arrived at the restaurant of Langai Hotel,

All the LED lights around are lit.

Just listening to the crisp bird song of "chirp", a large pure white peacock stretched its wings, circled from top to bottom, and disappeared directly on the table.

In the huge golden opera house restaurant, a picture of a peacock pecking beads and stepping on a lotus at sunset shines brightly, appearing in front of everyone in a stunning way.

“I’ve been to food festivals so many times, but this is the first time I’ve seen dishes served like this!”

"The peacock spits out beads. What's going on with the rolling beads on the little tray? Why does the soup keep flowing down?"

"The pallets extending upward one by one on both sides are like auspicious clouds. They look really beautiful."

"Look! The bottom plate looks like a lotus pond at first glance, but the noodles are used to create the effect of water waves."

"Absolutely awesome!"

…

Xu Bayi, Huang Baichuan, Tong Tongsheng and others stared in shock at the picture of a sunset peacock pecking beads and stepping on a lotus, their expressions full of disbelief.

"What kind of idea is this?"

The host was also shocked by the scene in front of him, and immediately said:

"Is the chef of Langai Hotel here?"

"Such a beautiful dish, can you tell us what the elements of these dishes are?"

As soon as the voice fell, the crowd became noisy again.

"Yes, the chef said to come and tell us!"

"I just want to know if that peacock is made of chocolate!"

"If you don't explain this dish to me, I won't be able to eat it."

As everyone talked, they weighed their feet and looked around curiously, wanting to see who the chef of this hotel was, who could actually design such a beautiful dish.

The next moment, a young figure walked out of the kitchen of Langai Hotel.

Upon seeing this, the host immediately greeted him, shook hands and asked with a smile:

"Hello, are you the chef of Langai Hotel?"

Xu Bo said with a stiff smile: "Hello, I am Johnny, the chef of Langai Hotel."

As soon as he finished speaking, he clearly felt a murderous intention coming from behind.

Xu Ba's face was so dark that it was scary.

Especially when he heard Xu Bo say his name was "Qiao Ni", the blood vessels in Xu Ba's neck even burst.

I just promised that I would come back during my vacation and randomly asked for a place in the competition to experience it.

As a result, he turned around and walked out as the chef!

The middle-aged man touched Xu Ba's arm with his elbow and whispered:

"Old Xu, since when did Xiaobo become the chef of a five-star hotel? Didn't he study abroad?"

When Xu Bayi heard this, his face turned red instantly and his lips pursed tightly.

"Can you please introduce this dish to us?" the host said with a smile.

"We are all very curious, what are the ideas and elements of this dish?"

"Okay." Xu Bo took a deep breath, deliberately turned sideways to avoid Xu Ba's terrifying eyes, and introduced:

"Our Langai Hotel has always focused on innovation and change, so after learning about the theme of winter warmth this time, we wanted to try to better present the dishes by creating a bold contrast in visual colors."

"On the top, we chose to use the highest quality real red snapper from Xiaomajia Island and the freshest fish sashimi to create a circular sunset scene."

"The peacock in the middle is made of a large area of ​​pancake and chocolate. It is also paired with pecans, cranberries and almond cream to ensure that the structure of every link is precise and elegant."

The host was surprised, "Mr. Jonny, are you saying that these colorful feathers on the peacock are actually made of chocolate?"

Xu Bo nodded with a smile and said, "Yes. They are all made of chocolate."

"Among the three auspicious cloud trays on the right, the upper one is hazelnut grilled steak, paired with our secret sauce. The aroma of the tender steak and sauce is combined with the fruity aroma of hazelnuts. It tastes like an autumn afternoon in the forest. The smell of pasture.”

"The auspicious cloud tray in the middle on the right side contains small squid, paired with crayfish and prawns, and is paired with coconut-flavored sauce and young green apples."

"The meat of the squid is firm and the meat of the shrimp is tender. Paired with the flavors of coconut and green apple, it's like a romantic minuet on the seaside."

Following Xu Bo's introduction, people around him began to secretly swallow their saliva.

My eyes kept glancing at steaks and squid, which made me scratch my head.

I really want to play a minuet by the sea right now.

Xu Ba's expression also softened a bit, and he listened carefully to Xu Bo's introduction to the dishes in front of him.

"The two auspicious cloud trays on the left are the sweet soup we carefully prepared."

Following Xu Bo's introduction, everyone turned their attention to a small tray beside the peacock's mouth.

The little Xiangyun tray is only the size of a table tennis ball, with a porcelain white ball in the middle.

As the ball continued to roll and rotate, the clear soup flowed out of the small bent mouth of the tray and fell into the small porcelain bowl below like a waterfall.

In the porcelain bowl, pure white colloidal white fungus is dotted with wolfberry cut into silk threads. Together with the steaming heat, it gives a warm and comfortable feeling.

"Then how does your soup flow down from the top?"

Questions came from the crowd.

The shelf of the dish in front of you is only so big, and you can’t tell the reason even if you look left and right.

The question has been sitting in my stomach for a long time.

Xu Bo smiled bitterly and said, "We have to ask our boss."

"Although everyone seems to think this is just a customized dish display, it is actually a food box."

The host was surprised, "Food box? Are you saying that all the dishes we have now are actually placed in a food box?"

Xu Bo nodded and said: "Yes, it is the food box formulated by our Langai Hotel."

"In order to provide our hotel guests with a safer, cleaner and delicious dining experience, our hotel has abandoned the traditional meal delivery method and launched a new concept of environmentally friendly food boxes, and this is just one of them."

"As for the specific structural design and usage principles of these food boxes, you can directly ask my boss Chen Jianhai."

After saying that, Xu Bo took the initiative to reach out and pointed at Chen Jianhai in the crowd.

"Shua! Click, click, click..."

Before Chen Jianhai could react, countless flash lights and black lenses were shooting at him.

Before he could smile,

The eyeballs were swaying from black to white, white to black, and the world was filled with densely packed black and white dots.

Even Xiaolang suffered.

The two people took advantage of the camera shift and turned around frantically to wipe away their tears.

At this time, the host’s voice then sounded;

"Mr. Johnny, we saw that the dish at the bottom of this food box looks like a lotus flower pillowed in the light waves. Can you introduce this to us?"
