Chapter 762 Korean?From Sichuan?
host?
Many guests at the dinner didn't quite understand why a host was invited to the dinner today.
Some guests who have been to high-end restaurants and tasted set menus understand that generally speaking, at the beginning of such a dinner party, the chef should come out to say hello to everyone.

Then the dishes tonight will be introduced, and then the sound and visual effects will begin to enhance the atmosphere, and the dishes will be served one after another.

It seems that no restaurant invites a host during the dinner, right?

What's more, this host is also the host of an entertainment program. His name is Qi Tiantian, and he is currently the most popular host on the Chengdu Entertainment Channel.

The main reason why Qi Tiantian is very popular is that his voice is clear and melodious, giving people a very heavy feeling, and he has the style of the strongest broadcaster in the main station.

Due to his frivolous personality, although he has a strong broadcasting ability, his unruly hosting style is in sharp contrast to this more "decent" pronunciation.

So being a news anchor was obviously not suitable, so I turned to entertainment hosting.

On the contrary, this has become a powerful killer for him. As soon as he tried it, he gained the love of countless people, because the contrast is too strong, which often makes people laugh.

"Welcome everyone to Yipin's exquisite dinner. I am the host of this dinner. I believe many people know me, but I also believe that some people do not know me.

My name is Qi Tiantian, and I am very happy to meet you here. Please try the first dish tonight, kimchi! "

Qi Tiantian's straight and clear voice carries a strong sense of justice and peace, which makes people feel very safe.

But in the next second, it suddenly made people want to laugh.

Qi Tiantian put aside his steady hosting style, turned around in a circle under the big screen in front of him, and then said with a smile: "I'll tell you some good news and some bad news.

The good news is that I will only host the dinner party tonight. The bad news is that starting from tomorrow, there will be no host at the dinner party, and you will not be able to see me.

Are you disappointed?
Aha~!

Don’t mind it too much. The reason why I am here today is mainly to preside over the review of the dinner dishes of both Michelin and Black Pearl. Please watch the big screen below. "

Sure enough, when this frivolous entertainment hosting style came out, the huge contrast made people really want to laugh.

At this time, 20 people's names appeared on the big screen. The 10 names in the vertical row on the left were Michelin reviewers. The two at the top were Adolf and Lyon.

The 10 names in the vertical row on the right are the judges of Black Pearl. Similarly, the top two are Liang Haotian and An Zifang.

In the middle of the top of the screen is a photo with the name of the dish listed: Yipin Kimchi!
Above the detailed name list are listed 10 scoring criteria in detail, including dish name, color, aroma, taste, shape, texture, material selection, cleanliness, nutrition, and creativity.

It was so!
After seeing this scoring standard, everyone has a solid idea. It turns out that the dishes are rated according to these ten criteria. Let's wait and see for a while.

Just when everyone was about to taste the small dish of kimchi in front of them, Qi Tiantian suddenly changed his tone, causing everyone's attention to shift from the kimchi to him.

“I’m sorry to tell you that this scoring criterion has been abandoned tonight, and the judges from both sides will give scores based on their own evaluation of the dishes.

Then mark it on the screen in front of you, and the final score given by the judge will appear on the big screen.

The judges' highest score for each dish is 10 points, and the lowest score is 0 points. Therefore, the total highest score of both parties for each dish is 100 points.

As for why we abandoned the fixed scoring criteria, this was decided upon through joint consultation between the teams of both parties. We will invite reviewers from both sides to comment on each dish on the spot.

Because the standards are too detailed and are not conducive to the reviewers' wonderful comments, this is the reason for canceling the fixed standards. Please wait and see, let us wait for the wonderful review session of the first dish. "

After Qi Tiantian finished explaining, a professional lady immediately translated it in English, and the big screen also changed again, canceling the previous scoring criteria and only having one score statistics.

The translator's name is Zhang Jiajia, who is Yu Lili's good friend. After learning that a professional translator was needed tonight, she invited her friends to come and help.

Of course, in order to express his gratitude, Chu Yunfeng would treat her to some delicious food after the dinner.

Because many Michelin reviewers can't speak Chinese, but French and English are fine, but many people can't understand, so there must be a translator.

Yu Lili and Zhang Xinran, like other media, live broadcast from the side, but several camera positions have already been installed, and they are all in the best positions. They only need to adjust the lens.

The live broadcast at this time is indeed synchronized globally. Lyon spent a lot of effort to invite the top media from various countries. This is definitely the most eye-catching food event ever held in China.

The live broadcast equipment in the hall is very advanced. There are only three lenses at each key position, one is dedicated and the remaining two are public.

The dedicated lens is used by Hao Minming, Yu Lili and Zhang Xinran, and the remaining two are used by foreign media and domestic media.

Switching lenses is very simple, you just need to switch to it yourself, and everyone can see the picture shot by the same lens on their own screen.

For the first time, foreign food lovers saw Michelin compete with others up close, and it was a Chinese restaurant, which made them very excited and curious.

It seems like this is the first time in Michelin’s history?
Foreigners who have been to Huaxia feel that this is a big event, because with the rise of Huaxia, Chinese food is indeed delicious.

Not only are the varieties diverse, but the flavors are also varied. Compared with the monotonous food I usually eat, it is like a fairy-like delicacy.

But I don’t understand why it’s not recognized by Michelin?

Therefore, many people think that this is Michelin's recognition of Chinese cuisine, so they choose to promote it in this way.

But some people who are familiar with Michelin's way of doing things will not have such naive ideas. They know that as China's national power becomes stronger, it has begun to launch challenges in various fields.

Naturally, this delicious food is inevitable. Michelin is obviously a strong competitor that wants to stifle the future.

So tonight's duel must be very interesting. I don't know if Huaxia can handle it?

After all, that is Michelin, which is known as the industry leader!
People here in China are more interested in watching the excitement. On the one hand, they want to see the exciting PK, but in fact, more importantly, they want to see the exquisite dishes.

Because everyone knows that set menu dishes are very expensive. If you can't afford them, it's always nice to take a look. At least you know what high-end dishes are like.

Between the melon-eaters with their own thoughts, the diners in the lobby full of expectations, and the judges from both sides who are about to start a war, the feast is about to begin!
After finishing the ice cream, everyone was looking forward to the next dish, hoping that it would be a very exquisite dish, right?

Boss Chu's plate presentation skills are very good. Anyone who has been to Yipin knows that most of the dishes in Yipin are presented, and they are different every time.

But what’s surprising is that the first dish served here is such an inconspicuous kimchi?

Although the small plate it is served on looks very delicate, and there seems to be a lot of types of vegetables in it, it does not change the fact that it is kimchi.

But there is no such thing as an ordinary product!

Although the guests had some doubts in their minds, it was not like they had never eaten this kimchi before, didn’t it just taste like that?
Some kimchi have a strange smell, which is really not delicious!

Either it's too salty, or it's too sour, or it's just too smelly. Anyway, many people don't like it.

So why does Boss Chu put this kimchi on the first course?There must be a reason!
However, many people who don't like to eat kimchi put it aside and wait for the next dish to come. They are a little dismissive of the kimchi. I guess it is just a topping given by Boss Chu.

Some people picked one up with chopsticks and put it into their mouths with doubts. After gently biting it, they immediately became energetic. They closed their eyes and said nothing, and slowly moved their mouths.

Others knew that there was a kimchi lottery in Yipin Store in the past few days, and after seeing everyone's comments about the kimchi, they only had cheers and joy in their hearts, finally being able to taste it.

Similarly, after putting a small stick into my mouth, I closed my eyes and tasted it carefully, not wanting to talk at all.

And the performance of the judges on both sides is also a bit confusing, it seems that the pace is not consistent?

The judges at Black Pearl all had smiles on their faces and soon began to taste it. After just one sip, everyone nodded involuntarily, with a look of satisfaction on their faces.

But the situation at Michelin seemed a bit strange. Except for Adolf and Lyon, the other eight reviewers all focused on Adolf.

But Adolf and Leon looked at each other, seeming to be in a confrontation.

Because there was a hint of anger in Adolf's eyes, while there was a hint of joking in Leon's expression.

"Look at what you've done? This is just the first dish, and there's already a problem. You don't think that our Michelin judges all like to eat Korean kimchi, do you?"

Adolf tried his best to maintain his expression so that it would not be so ugly, and the volume was only maintained at a level that Leon next to him could hear.

"My God, is there some misunderstanding between us? This is not the unpalatable Korean kimchi, but the most authentic Sichuan kimchi. The two tastes are very different.

Didn’t the ice cream just now make you let down your guard?
With such an exquisite production level, you can already tell how amazing the following dishes will be.

But at this point, no matter what I say, I can't make you clearly understand how mysterious the food in this restaurant is. Take a bite, you will fall in love with it. "

Leon felt the anger in Adolf's heart. The main reason was that he had "betrayed" him. In addition, it was probably because the orders from the top made him unhappy.

More probably, he was afraid that he would be a threat to him after he took over. In short, the combination of various factors made him even more repulsive to him.

However, this is not the time for internal strife. Leon still has to take care of the overall situation. After all, this is related to his future destiny, so the joking look on his face has subsided.

Then he smiled and nodded to Adolf, picked up a pickled carrot with a fork, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

"Wow, it tastes great. You can try it."

The crisp, sour and sweet texture and taste made Leon couldn't help cheering, and then he signaled to everyone to start quickly and don't let his opponents see the joke.

Adolf also sighed secretly in his heart. He also knew that the live broadcast was still happening at this time, but he couldn't embarrass himself in front of others, so he had no choice but to pick up his fork and signal to everyone, then picked up a pickle and tasted it.

After all, Adolf was the team leader, and the editor-in-chief for so many years was still very authoritative, so after everyone saw his gesture, they all began to follow suit and acted together.

At this time, in a gorgeous manor far away in France, in a very luxuriously decorated hall, two men were watching the huge TV opposite, each holding a glass of red wine in their hands.

If anyone were here, they would find that the bottle of red wine that had been opened on the table was of a very high grade and seemed to be an orphan.

"Are they both okay?"

The old man took a sip of the expensive red wine and asked with a slight frown.

"No problem. You have to believe in Adolf and Leon. Although there is a little friction between them, they dare not slack off in the overall situation."

The person who said this was Stephen, an important director of Michelin, and sitting opposite him was Michelin CEO Dennis.

“The development momentum of China’s catering industry has been very strong in recent years, and it has begun to show signs of threatening us. This is the last thing the authorities want to see.

I hope we can curb this trend this time and firmly hold the right to speak in our hands. I hope they live up to expectations. "

Dennis drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, seemingly not caring about the price at all, even though this sip was already worth tens of thousands of dollars.

"Don't worry, Leon has made very thoughtful arrangements for this time's plan. I've already shown you the dishes in this restaurant. They are indeed rare and top-notch dishes.

Even I can't help but want to go and have a taste, but you don't know the grievances on the other side. Facing our challenge, the other side agreed very reluctantly.

Even when facing reporters, he didn't even dare to say a few big words, and finally walked away in anger.

So don't worry, let's slowly enjoy them defeating their opponents, and then feast our eyes on these exquisite dishes.

Oh, by the way, I invited Chef Ilario to come over. We can try his cooking at noon. You must know that you love his smoked salmon the most. "

Stephen mentioned Ilario happily, which also made Dennis' eyes light up. This three-star chef is not so easy to hire. He didn't expect to be so lucky today.

"Great, let's enjoy the game slowly, cheers!"

Dennis stood up, poured red wine into the glass, and then touched it happily with Stephen, seeming to be celebrating the victory in advance.

After tasting the first grade of kimchi, Adolf was instantly conquered. The expression on his face looked extremely shocked. He couldn't believe that what he had just tasted was kimchi?

Kimchi?

Sichuan pickles?

Isn’t this the same kimchi?
