Chapter 1351 Another purpose
The next day, which is the last day of the ASEAN Conference, is also the day when the eight major national cuisine training teams of the Olympic Culinary Competition will report.

Many people are looking forward to this day, especially these young chefs who were shortlisted this time. It is natural that they are curious and yearning for the chef at the national banquet.

A total of four people were selected from each of the eight major cuisines, three young people and one middle-aged person, a total of 32 people. These people will undergo a series of trainings in the state banquet kitchen.

The training time is only eighty days, which is much shorter than in the past. In the past, it was only half a year, so that the players can be more fully prepared.

And the time this time was so short, it obviously increased a lot of difficulty for the players, and China naturally understood that this time it was a bit careless, and the rules were modified by someone with ulterior motives.

This early in the morning, many people came one after another at the door of the state banquet institution. Everyone spoke with different accents and chatted with each other.

After meeting acquaintances occasionally, they started to chat in Mandarin. Gradually more and more people knew each other. Then everyone gradually introduced each other and became familiar with each other.

As more and more people gathered, everyone paid attention to the players who performed very well in each province this time. They looked around, but they were not found.

"Master Hu, why hasn't Liang Yihai, your No. 1 Hui Cuisine, come here? This will be reported soon. I heard that his cooking skills are the true inheritance of Master Liu Xiaolin, and he can be regarded as one of the best among the younger generation. Got it!"

This Master Hu entered with the second place in the competition and was deeply impressed by Liang Yihai’s cooking skills. He smiled and said: “Yes, he is indeed a student of Master Liu Xiaolin.

But I'm not very familiar with him. I heard that he came to the capital early in the morning. I was also looking for him just now, but I haven't seen him yet! "

Although everyone is talking about the No. 1 in each province, everyone is paying the most attention and interest to Chu Yunfeng, because the news on the Internet has been very popular these days, and it is impossible not to pay attention to it.

News about the ASEAN meeting’s state banquet dominates the hot searches almost every day. Every day, everyone is speculating whether the dishes will be repeated, and every day it will give everyone a different surprise.

Especially from the third day, most people thought that since so many dishes had appeared, subsequent dishes would definitely be repeated.

However, what is surprising is that not only are the dishes not repeated, but they are becoming more refined, and you can even see a lot of traditional Sichuan dishes.

Doesn’t it mean that it takes a long time to make these dishes?
How many people are there in the team that makes the state banquet? How do they complete such a huge task of dishes for the state banquet?

Especially the preparation of this traditional Sichuan dish, everyone has to pay attention to a very important person, that is Chu Yunfeng. He is the only one who has published the most videos of making traditional Sichuan dishes online.

"Uh~! Do you think that this time the chef of the ASEAN Association will be Chu Yunfeng?"

"It's very possible that these traditional Sichuan dishes will be made exactly like the ones he posted online. I wouldn't believe it if it wasn't the case."

"That's just a guess. He's not one of our students. How could he be a chef at a state banquet?"

"That's right. I've never heard of anyone being able to attend the state banquet at such a young age. We can't underestimate the Sichuan chef at the state banquet. I heard that although there are only a few people, his skills are still very impressive!"

"No, no, think about this logic. Since there are very few Sichuan chefs in the kitchen for state banquets, how are these state banquets for hundreds of people prepared?"

"It makes sense. There are not more than ten chefs here. It is simply impossible to make dishes for so many people, let alone traditional Sichuan dishes that are so troublesome to make?"

As soon as the topic of Sichuan cuisine at the state banquet was brought up, it immediately aroused discussion among everyone present. Everyone was scrambling to analyze various situations, and the more they analyzed, the more confusing it became.

"Why aren't you here yet? It's time to report in five minutes. Why haven't you seen anyone yet?"

"That's right, have you noticed that none of the people who won first place seem to be here?"

"Yes, is it possible that they have already discussed it and want to come together?"

"Wait a minute, look, isn't that Yunyao from Sichuan cuisine? He is here. It is said that he is a disciple of three Sichuan cuisine masters. Although he ranked second to Chu Yunfeng in this competition, his cooking skills are very good. Extraordinary!"

Yun Yao almost squeezed in at the right moment, and immediately attracted everyone's attention. When he walked over, he saw everyone staring at him.

What's the situation?
"Master Yun, you are finally here. You are the first one to come here among all the Sichuan dishes!"

As soon as Yun Yao came over, he heard someone greeting him. After nodding, he looked around and found that Chu Yunfeng was nowhere to be seen.

Even Hu Yue and Master Wang Xiankui were not seen. Master Wang Xiankui is 58 this year. He is the executive chef of an old five-star hotel and his cooking skills are very good.

Looking at the time, there were 3 minutes left before the report. Chu Yunfeng and Hu Yue had not yet appeared. This confirmed Yun Yao's guess that Chu Yunfeng should be in the kitchen behind the state banquet. middle.

The dishes for the ASEAN meeting must have been cooked by him. It is not difficult to guess, because his three chefs know Master Feng, and they also clearly know that there is only one Sichuan chef in the kitchen for the state banquet.

so
"Yun Yao, you're here, have you seen Xiao Chu and Xiao Hu?"

Just when Yun Yao was slightly dazed, someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw an uncle with a beard. Who could he be if he wasn't Wang Xiankui?

"Hello, Master Wang, I just came here and haven't seen them yet!"

Nodding towards Wang Xiankui, Yun Yao's shining bronze face smiled, and found that Master Wang's smile was very bright, and he had a familiar feeling.

At this time, Wang Xiankui moved closer to Yun Yao and whispered in his ear: "Have you heard that Xiao Chu and Xiao Hu are both cooking in the kitchen of the state banquet?"

"Really?" Pretending to be very surprised, Yun Yao replied in surprise, "This is unlikely. How did you know?"

The surprised expression on Yun Yao's face was very natural. Wang Xiankui kept staring closely, not noticing anything strange, and then he immediately said with a smile: "I've heard that too, but it's very possible!

Oh, the leader is here, he should have called for a report. If Xiao Chu and Xiao Hu don't come, will our Sichuan cuisine team give everyone a bad impression? "

There was an indescribable feeling, Yun Yao felt that the master Wang Xiankui next to him had an inexplicable taste, which made people feel a little surprised.

At this time, Yun Yao also heard people from other cuisines discussing. It seemed that no one who ranked first among their cuisines came, which was quite strange.

"Come on, come on, isn't that Wu Junjie?"

"Song Shaochen is here too, and I also saw Beibei. Isn't this one of those number one?"

"Hey, we really did come together. When did they all get together?"

These seven people had been working since five o'clock this morning and processed a lot of ingredients. Before they even had time to eat breakfast, the seven people took the time to go around in a circle and walked in from the gate.

After seeing familiar people, the seven people immediately dispersed and greeted everyone.

As soon as these seven people appeared, Yun Yao kept looking behind him. When all seven people came over, Chu Yunfeng was still not found.

Inadvertently, he noticed that Wang Xiankui seemed to pay more attention to him than himself. When he saw him chatting with others, he looked out from time to time.

"Everyone is here, then come in with me!"

The time has come. Section Chief Yu came out with a stack of information and greeted everyone to go in. However, when he saw Peng Yue and the others, there was a look of astonishment on his face, and then he frowned.

It's obvious that we haven't figured it out yet. Why are these seven people here?No more cooking in the kitchen?
Nonsense!
After bringing everyone to the conference room, Section Chief Yu handed out a copy of information to everyone, and each person got a copy and entered.

When it was time for Peng Yue, Section Chief Yu stopped distributing the materials and said with a straight face, "What are you doing? Don't make trouble. What should you do?"

Peng Yue smiled and replied in a low voice: "We asked Brother Chu for leave, just for a while. We will go back after seeing the excitement. Don't worry, it won't delay things."

After finishing speaking, Peng Yue took a piece of information from Chief Yu and walked in, while Beibei behind smiled and whispered: "Chief Yu, we are here to support your work.

If we were missing, wouldn't everyone have doubts? "

???

Chief Yu thought to himself, do you still need to worry about this?
Didn't you think of it yourself?
But since they want to watch the fun, let them go in. After the last seven people went in, Section Chief Yu called Minister Wang, and then walked in.

What followed was an opening statement of congratulations, and then Minister Wang arrived. After Section Chief Yu finished his introduction, Minister Wang began to explain the tasks and content of the training to everyone.

What's strange is that even though I've been here for a long time, no one has named me?
Obviously there are two people who haven't arrived yet, Chu Yunfeng and Hu Yue from Sichuan cuisine. Don't these two leaders know?

But since the leader didn't say anything, everyone didn't ask. It wasn't that people from their own cuisine didn't arrive, and the Sichuan cuisine side wasn't in a hurry, so why were they in a hurry?

Minister Wang’s introduction was very concise and took less than 3 minutes. Then he immediately announced something: “Today is the time for everyone to report, and then I will take everyone to visit the kitchen.

Later, I will let you get familiar with our training venue, which is not far from here. From now on, masters from the state banquet will come to give you lessons every day.

Oh, by the way, there is a competition tomorrow. It is our internal competition. The main purpose is to see everyone's cooking skills. This also allows the master chefs to have a basic impression of everyone.

In order to let the next training have a focus, it will be scheduled for tomorrow morning. Everyone will know the specific process and regulations of the competition by then.

So now let Section Chief Yu take everyone to visit the state banquet kitchen and get familiar with the training place. If there is anything, you can communicate with us in time. "

After finishing his speech, Minister Wang was ready to leave, but at this time, the person sitting below began to raise his hand. When this person raised his hand, Yun Yao's body couldn't help but tremble, because the person who raised his hand was right next to him. Next to me, this is Wang Xiankui!
"This student, what do you want to say?"

Minister Wang was also a little surprised, because he could respond to Section Chief Yu next. After all, what big thing could happen on this first day of reporting?
Wang Xiankui stood up and asked with a smile: "Leader, I'm really sorry to interrupt you. The main reason is that two of our Sichuan cuisine team members haven't arrived yet. I'm worried that they were delayed on the way. Is this possible? Something that affects their reporting?”

Others also started to pay attention. They didn't know this, but after talking about it, they saw that there were only two people over there, which was quite surprising.

Peng Yue and the others had just arrived. Everyone thought that the number one person was here, but Chu Yunfeng from Sichuan cuisine actually didn't come. Master Wang from Sichuan cuisine was quite responsible.

Being so concerned about his team members shows that the master is still relatively reliable, but where has Chu Yunfeng gone?

Minister Wang was indeed stunned for a moment, but he quickly smiled and said: "Chief Yu is doing statistics on this matter. Find out what's going on and report it to me later!"

After saying that, Minister Wang left and brushed the matter aside, as if he didn't understand it at all.

Section Chief Yu stood on the podium at this moment, looked at the information in his hand, then motioned Wang Xiankui to sit down, and then explained: "Chu Yunfeng and Hu Yue asked for leave in advance, and they will not be able to report until night.

The reporting time is the whole day today, so there is no delay. Don’t worry, everyone in this training camp will be there.

If there is nothing else, I will take you to the kitchen to have a look. Come with me!

Let’s gather outside first! "

After saying that, Section Chief Yu stood at the gate. When Peng Yue and the others came out, his stern eyes swept across them, and Peng Yue immediately responded: "Let's go, let's go, go back right away!"

"Withdraw, withdraw. There's nothing lively or interesting to see. Can't we just leave?"

The seven people hurriedly walked out of another exit. After they came out, Peng Yue changed his previous smile and asked solemnly: "How is it? Did you find anything?"

As soon as Peng Yue said these words, he naturally revealed a secret. In fact, they were not here to watch the fun at all, but had another purpose.

The smile on Beibei's face also disappeared, and she snorted softly: "I didn't find anything else, but that Wang Xiankui, haha, on the surface, he seems to be quite caring.

But I always feel that this person seems to have no good intentions, what do you think? "

Ren Tingting nodded in recognition and said: "I also feel something is not right. Chu Yunfeng said before that the two of them are not familiar with this Sichuan cuisine, but he is still so warm, and it always feels like something is not right."

The rest of the people nodded, and Peng Yue thought thoughtfully for a while before asking: "Have you discovered anything else?"

Pan Liang looked at the group of people walking towards the kitchen. There was a very tall person who was about to walk in. He frowned and said, "I think there is someone in our cuisine who is a bit suspicious."

"Who?"

"who is it?"

"Are you sure it's your cuisine?"

Everyone started asking questions immediately, and Pan Liang said in a deep voice: "This person's name is Gao Yaoxiang, he is No. 2 in our group competition, and he acted very coldly when I greeted him.

And I observed carefully during the meeting just now. It seems that he has no interest in this place at all. Don't you think it's strange? "

Song Shaochen thought for a while and said, "Could it be that you don't like the leader's speech and this kind of meeting?"

"Maybe, anyway, I feel that the feeling he gave me is not right. He seems to be guarding against others. If you don't believe me, you should observe for yourself later!"

"Wu Junjie, what about you? Did you find anything?"

Among the crowd, only Wu Junjie did not speak, so it naturally aroused Peng Yue's curiosity. After Wu Junjie thought about it, he recalled a scene in his mind.

But in the end, he shook his head and said that he had gained nothing.

At this time, everyone walked into the back kitchen, and everyone hurriedly walked towards the temporary back kitchen on the other side. Wu Junjie quietly walked behind everyone, picked up his mobile phone and made a call.
