Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Chapter 187 Cooking Competition Finals
When Yang Yukun arrived at the tavern, the father-in-law and mother-in-law were already busy.

He Chunfen and He Lixia also got up early to help out in the tavern and cafeteria.

Hou Kui and Xu Jingli were also there.

The wine in the tavern today was bought by Hou Kui and Lao Zhangren from the Niuer Winery.

Xu Jingli was chatting with the sisters He Chunfen and He Lixia. She was practicing the role of the eldest sister, trying not to make the two cousins ​​who came from afar feel strange and uncomfortable, and helping them integrate into the current life as soon as possible.

"Wow woof woof..."

When the panther saw its master, it rushed out of the back yard like a black lightning bolt.

Yang Yukun hugged the panther and rubbed the guy's head.

"Xiao Kun is here."

"Second brother-in-law."

"Cousin-in-law."

"Second cousin-in-law."

"Uncle, aunt..., where are Jingping and Jingtian, haven't they come over yet?"

Yang Yukun scanned around, but did not see Xu Jingping and Xu Jingtian.

Xu Jingli said: "The two of them will be here in a while."

"Aren't you still sleeping late?"

"Second brother-in-law, I didn't sleep late. I was waiting for my second sister."

"I did some laundry at home."

As soon as Yang Yukun finished speaking, sisters Xu Jingping and Xu Jingtian walked into the tavern from outside.

Everyone is ready.

Eat breakfast.

After dinner.

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping went to Zhiweilou Restaurant, and then went to the culinary competition site to watch the final of the culinary competition.

Xu Huizhen still has a very important thing to do today, to go to the relevant competent authority to handle the household registration transfer for the sisters He Chunfen and He Lixia.

…………

The finals of the culinary art competition are on the scene of the finals, and the chefs who have entered the finals are ready.

As the bell rang for the start of the competition, all participating chefs started to move.

"Xiao Kun, you said Master Chen, can you enter the finals?"

"Don't worry, with Master Chen's strength, as long as you don't make too many mistakes, getting tickets to the finals will not be a problem."

"My palms are sweating."

"Relax, don't be so nervous, look at how relaxed Master Chen is, we have to believe in his strength."

Seeing that Xu Jingping was a little nervous, Yang Yukun comforted her, telling her to relax.

In the semi-finals, Chen Yuliang entered the final with the No.1 ranking, beating the chefs of well-known restaurants such as Diaoyutai, Imperial Hotel, Fengze Garden, etc.

With Chen Yuliang's strength, as long as he does not perform abnormally, it is not a big problem to enter the finals. He will definitely have a place in the three honorary titles of famous chefs in the imperial capital.

The results of the final competition did not disappoint Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping.

After several hours of fierce competition, five places for the finals were determined.

Chen Yuliang, the head chef of Zhiweilou Restaurant, once again entered the final final with the No.1 final result.

Two of the other four places that entered the finals were taken by Diaoyutai, one was in the Imperial Hotel, and the other was in Fengzeyuan Restaurant.

Tomorrow morning's finals, five culinary masters will challenge the top three honorary titles of imperial chefs.

The imperial city government will award trophies, medals and certificates of honor to the top three culinary masters.

As for the other four young backbone chefs of Zhiweilou Restaurant, they fell on the field of the finals and missed the tickets for the finals.

This is all to be expected.

It is normal that these four young backbone chefs did not enter the finals. If even one of them made it, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping themselves would have to doubt the authority of this competition.

Chen Yuliang smiled and said, "Xiaokun, Jingping, how are you doing? It's okay."

Yang Yukun said with a smile: "Master Chen, you are very good. I will try to win the honorary title of the famous chef of the imperial capital again tomorrow with the No. 1 result."

"I try my best."

None of the culinary masters who can enter the finals is a piece of paper.

The chief chef and deputy chief chef of Diaoyutai, the executive chef of the Imperial Hotel, and the chef of Fengzeyuan Restaurant.

He is quite familiar with these four people, after all, they are all in the catering industry of Forty-Nine City.

He and these four people have a good relationship, and they once went to the Great Hall and Diaoyutai to hold state banquets together.

Whenever there is an important state affairs event, a state banquet will be held.

When there are a lot of people, the chefs at Diaoyutai can't keep busy, so they need to transfer people from other restaurants in Forty-Nine City to ensure the smooth logistics of major state affairs activities.

Therefore, the chefs of the major restaurants in the Forty-Nine City basically know each other.

Competing with these four culinary masters for the three famous chefs in the imperial capital, Chen Yuliang is not 1% sure to win the No.[-] championship.

But he is still more confident in getting one of the places.

Tomorrow's finals, he will use 120% of his strength to draw a successful conclusion to his cooking competition journey.

"Let's go, let's go back."

A group of people left the competition site and returned to Zhiweilou restaurant.

After staying at the hotel for a while, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping returned to the tavern together.

"Xiaokun, Jingping."

"Brother Tu, if you don't go to help Miss Xiao Xing, why are you interested in going to the tavern to drink?"

The two entered the tavern and found that Mao Tutu was having a drink with a plate of pickles.

"My brother is waiting for you."

"Brother Tu, what's the matter?"

"I asked you to drink at home yesterday. You have something to do and don't have time to go. My buddy came here specially to treat you to a restaurant."

"Brother Tu, where shall we eat later?"

"I'll go, you kid, are you welcome?"

"It's enough to be thick-skinned. Brother Tu, please go to the restaurant. As a buddy, I have to give you face."

When someone treats guests to a restaurant, of course such a good thing has to be done.

What's more, it was Mao Tutu who was the guest, so there was no need to pretend to be courteous with him.

"It is said that you are the bully of Qianmen, but I think you are the most cheeky person in Qianmen. Tell me, where you want to eat, you can choose any restaurant in Forty-Nine City."

Invite Yang Yukun to the restaurant, Mao Tutu is serious, not joking, Tu Ge never jokes.

Yang Yukun turned to ask Xu Jingping's opinion: "Jingping, where do you want to eat?"

Xu Jingping thought for a while and said, "Why don't we just eat at home, there's no need to go out to eat out."

"I told you to go to the restaurant, but you must go to the restaurant today."

"Brother Tu and Miss Xiao Xing are going to get married in a few months, and I'm happy. We don't need to save him money."

"Xiao Kun, you're right. My buddies are very happy. I'll call Lao Yang and Chun Ming soon. Let's find a place to celebrate for Xiao Xing and me."

"Why don't we go to the Qianmen Canteen to order a few dishes and drink?"

"Choose expensive ones, don't save money for buddies, why don't we go to Zhiweilou Restaurant?"

"Zhiweilou restaurant is not available today."

It's not that Yang Yukun didn't want Mao Tutu to treat guests at Zhiweilou restaurant, he was too happy to go to his restaurant to take care of business.

The main reason is that Zhiweilou Restaurant adopts a reservation system, which needs to be booked one day in advance, and then prepare the ingredients according to the reserved dishes.

It's almost time for dinner now, so going to Zhiweilou restaurant is definitely not available.

"Then where do you want to eat?"

"There's a Fangshanzhai over there in Beihai Park. It's delicious."

"Okay, let's go to Fangshanzhai."

I haven't been to this Fangshan Zhaimao map before, and Yang Yukun's recommendation is definitely not wrong, so I just took Meng Xiaoxing there to try it.
