gourmet food

Chapter 993
On the outskirts of Tokyo, in an extremely large manor, in the lobby of the main building, Yamada was sitting directly above him on his knees, holding a teacup on the table and drinking tea leisurely.

On both sides of him, there were also more than a dozen people sitting on their knees, including many of Chu Yunfeng's old friends, Fujiwara Saburo, Fujiwara Sukeka and Koyamauchi Jiro.

The rest of the people are more men than women, and they are all familiar, and they all have the same characteristic, that is, they are young, most of them are in their thirties.

But there were two men who looked to be less than thirty, and their faces were particularly arrogant, which made them look very unusual.

After Yamada picked up the teacup, he made a gesture of invitation to everyone, and then everyone picked up the teacup and drank it solemnly.

It has to be said that the Japanese highly respect the tea ceremony they learned from China, and treat it as a spiritual concept, respecting the tea ceremony very much.

Drinking tea is a very serious matter, and there are many special rules.

After taking a cup of tea, everyone closed their eyes and savored the artistic conception of the tea soup. Incense was also lit in the entire hall, which seemed quite artistic.

After Yamada Shoichi put the teacup in his hand back on the table, everyone followed suit, as if they had completed a very important ritual.

After tasting the tea, Saburo Fujiwara bowed slightly and showed respect to Masaichi Yamada, and then said: "The invitation letter has been sent to the Hong Kong Global MasterChef Competition. Are we going to send someone to compete this time?"

The people sitting on both sides seemed to know the news. Just after Saburo Fujiwara brought up this matter, it was obvious that these people were a little ready to move, and their eyes were scanning the area.

The body was kneeling and sitting motionless, and the head did not move at all, but the eyes had glanced back and forth several times, and everyone was observing each other's expressions.

It seems that it is not that easy to participate in the competition. Everyone has their own little thoughts.

Yamada Shoichi did not reply to Fujiwara Saburo immediately, but glanced to the left and right, taking in everyone's small movements, and then closed his eyes and meditated.

After more than ten seconds, he said: "I am definitely going to participate in the competition, but do you have any good suggestions for candidates?"

Suggest?

Yamada Shoichi actually wants to listen to Fujiwara Saburo's advice?

So everyone focused their attention on him. No one expected that they would value him so much. Didn't he lose the Lord's trust when he messed up things last time?

Fujiwara Saburo was also a little flattered. Since he tricked Yamada Shoichi last time, his position has been somewhat precarious.

That time, he was indeed deceived by Chu Yunfeng, and there was a loophole in the intelligence. Only then was he misled by Chu Yunfeng, which ultimately led to Yamada Shoichi's defeat.

In particular, it disrupted Yamada Shoichi's plan and prevented him from meeting and chatting with Chu Yunfeng. This was the biggest failure.

So after I came back, I kept my tail between my legs and shrank for a long time. I was indeed suppressed and excluded by many big guys in the faction.

However, Yamada Shoichi was very angry when he was in China. He thought that he was finished at that time, but what he didn't expect was that after he came back, he seemed to have figured something out.

He didn't punish himself, but he didn't take special care of him. Instead, he made himself even more anxious.

Now it seems that I have been re-activated, and I don't know if I can still gain the trust of Yamada Shoichi, but the beginning is still relatively good, and it depends on my efforts.

At this time, Fujiwara Sukeka and Koyamauchi Jiro, who were sitting on both sides of Fujiwara Saburo, were also a little excited. They glanced at Fujiwara Saburo and noticed his inner excitement, and they sat up straighter.

After thinking carefully, Saburo Fujiwara said solemnly: "This Global Master of Chef competition can be considered a top global competition, and there are many top chefs participating.

This is indeed a good opportunity to make a name for ourselves, especially since we still have many specially trained personnel who have never appeared before. We can take this opportunity to see them, and by the way, make a name for ourselves and let everyone know how great we are.

Especially now that investment in China is very fast, and there is an urgent need for top chefs. With these names, I believe it will be beneficial to our territory expansion. "

Saburo Fujiwara's words instantly won everyone's favor, and everyone nodded in agreement. After all, he was recommending them to participate in the competition, not the two people around him.

Among the people kneeling on both sides, there are seed contestants of the seven major cuisines that President Hou mentioned before. If this news is released, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Chinese catering industry.

The top chef who cultivated the eight major Chinese cuisines in the island country?

This wolf's ambition is obvious, and this plan is not small, so what President Hou said before is not alarmist.

Yamada Shoichi was noncommittal about Fujiwara Saburo's suggestion and asked expressionlessly: "Aren't you afraid that your true identity will be revealed after you send them out?

What if the Chinese side detects it and it will have an immeasurable impact on the final battle? "

The final battle?
Everyone's bodies straightened up again, with fanatic expressions on their faces, as if this final battle was something very honorable.

Faced with Yamada Shoichi's question, Fujiwara Saburo replied with some disdain: "I have heard some news that China seems to be training a group of young chefs, but as far as I know, they are just doing useless work.

The culinary skills of these young chefs are not only one level behind ours, and we still have a secret weapon. Once the final confrontation is fought, it will be a nuclear strike, and the opponent is absolutely powerless to parry."

As soon as this was said, everyone had a knowing smile on their faces. Everyone understood what Fujiwara Saburo said about the nuclear strike, so many people showed contempt on their faces, indicating that there was no such thing as a nuclear attack. Take the other person seriously.

Saburo Fujiwara also chuckled, and then said: "This time, maybe the newly trained players from Huaxia will also participate in the competition, and this is just an opportunity for us to check their details.

For chefs whose cooking skills are a level below ours, can they expose our true abilities?
Besides, when we compete, we won’t reveal our real cooking techniques. Everything will be based on our own country’s cooking skills.

Besides, such a game cannot allow us to show our true strength. "

Saburo Fujiwara's words were obviously contemptuous of the other participating chefs, but here they were unanimously agreed by everyone, and chants of praise echoed in the hall.

Don't look at the simplicity of Fujiwara Saburo's words. In fact, he is flattering Yamada Masaichi. When it comes to cooking in this hall, no one is better than him.

Therefore, this is in line with Yamada Shoichi's true inner thoughts. He does not think that there is heaven and earth, and there are people outside the world. When it comes to cooking, it seems that only he is the best.

So for this flattery, Yamada Shoichi happily accepted it, so he finally showed a smile on his face and said: "What Mr. Fujiwara said is quite reasonable, so this time we will send someone over." Bar.

However, this quota is limited. The entire Japanese region has received a total of three quotas. The city of Tokyo has one quota, and Osaka and Nagoya each have one quota.

But let’s not even think about the quotas for the other two cities. They have already been decided, so we can only compete in the name of Tokyo.

This time, two people can be sent there. Can you discuss which two people to send? "

Can only send two people?

Fujiwara Sukeka and Koyamauchi Jiro next to Fujiwara Saburo were actually the most excited. They wanted to participate in this competition, but they couldn't make any very interested impulses.

He didn't even look at Saburo Fujiwara, because Saburo Fujiwara made a mistake before and now he has finally regained Yamada Shoichi's favor, so he can't be too high-profile for the time being.

The reason why I want to participate in this competition is actually very simple, that is to show the other seven people a little color and see who has the better cooking skills.

I have to say that the internal competition is very fierce, and what's a little special is that these two people seem to be very confident to compete with this person who has studied the seven major cuisines?

So do Fujiwara Sukeka and Koyamauchi Jiro have any hidden cooking skills?
However, Saburo Fujiwara naturally would not let the two of them steal the spotlight, and immediately clarified the matter: "This time, let's choose from the seven seeded players.

After all, I haven’t participated in an international competition yet, so it would be good to gain some experience.

However, there will be many international competitions in the next few months, and they can all come in rotation. There should be no shortage of places on our side. "

This is obviously what Yamada Shoichi wants to say. There are many games, there is no need to hurt the atmosphere, and it is obvious that Yamada Shoichi also wants to see if everyone is so recognized and loyal to him.

So after Saburo Fujiwara finished speaking, the other seven people naturally had complicated thoughts, but they all showed a look of indifference on their faces.

Everyone said they would listen to Yamada Shoichi's opinion and just ask him to make a decision.

Regardless of whether he was sincere or not, Yamada Shoichi didn't see any dissatisfaction on everyone's faces, so he directly named them: "Since everyone has no objections, let's go to Ikeda Taro and Suzuki Michiko this time.

One of you is a student of Shandong cuisine, and the other is a student of Cantonese cuisine. It's time to try your opponent's skills. "

As soon as Yamada Shoichi finished speaking, two of the seven people instantly beamed with joy and immediately responded: "Hai~!"

The other five people were obviously a little lost, and a faint expression of dissatisfaction was revealed, which made Yamada Masa take a serious look.

Haha, these guys are still very arrogant. It seems that they should find time to let them learn their cooking skills. Otherwise, do they really think they are very powerful?

Yamada Masaichi secretly discussed it in his heart, and then immediately said: "As far as I know, China has won a total of three places this time.

Beijing will definitely win one, and Yangcheng will definitely win one, so it is meaningful to send the two of you there. As for the rest, it's hard to say.

Fujiwara-kun, which city do you think will get the remaining quota? "

Fujiwara Saburo nodded. Yamada Shoichi had the same idea as him. Beijing and Yangcheng would definitely be the main force. After all, these two places are economically developed areas.

And the cuisines are very strong. Both cities have participated in previous competitions, so they will definitely not be absent this time.

As for the remaining one, Fujian and Zhejiang cuisine participated in the previous two competitions, so the chances of these two cuisines this time are slim.

Then only Sichuan cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Hunan cuisine and Anhui cuisine are left.

So there is no need to think anymore, it must be Sichuan cuisine. After all, Sichuan cuisine is becoming more and more influential in China, and it has a vague reputation as the largest cuisine.

And there was another person who jumped out like a comet, so Fujiwara Saburo could be sure that there would be that person in this competition.

Although he was convinced, Fujiwara Saburo still cautiously said in a guessing tone: "I think it might be Sichuan cuisine. After all, I haven't been to Sichuan cuisine in previous competitions."

Yamada Masaichi glanced at him with interest, knowing that he was still regretting what happened last time.So when it comes to Sichuan cuisine, it seems that I am not very confident.

But he didn't mind, and said jokingly: "It must be Sichuan cuisine. Chu Yunfeng has been stealing the show these days. I think he will definitely not be lonely this time.

But for the sake of our final plan, just ignore him for the time being. If he really goes, you can just act according to the situation. There is no need to confront him head-on.

After all, this competition is divided into three rounds, and he is only good at Chinese food, while dim sum and international food are the goals we strive for.

Regarding Chinese food, let’s just take a closer look at the strength of the contestants they sent. Do you understand? "

"Roms!!"

Everyone bowed and responded, and then they heard Yamada Shoichi burst out laughing, the sound getting louder and louder, and the people in the hall also laughed wildly along with him.
Rongcheng!

At this time, Chu Yunfeng did not go home to rest, but arrived at the airport for one reason, and that was to see the president off on the latest flight back to the capital.

The things discussed before were not so simple. The President Hou still needs to go back and report to the leaders, and he has to communicate with the master chefs of the state banquet.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Chu Yunfeng to get the opportunity to learn. You must know that those are the eight major cuisines. Is it that easy to learn the essence?

Many factions and chefs attach great importance to and cherish their cooking skills. They usually don't let you learn it directly, or even let you take a look at it.

So it's not certain whether this matter will be successful, and the President Hou also hurried back to the capital, but he didn't dare to delay the slightest, for fear of causing trouble.

If this doesn't work, then we have to find another way, so the situation is urgent and we have to rush late at night.

"Okay, you all go back. I have less than an hour to fly from here, so you don't need to accompany me."

President Hou was about to go in for security check, so he asked the three of them to go back. After all, it was so late and they had to go back and have a good rest.

So President Xiong, Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing waved goodbye and headed towards the city under the night
