After traveling through time, the restaurant I opened became a big hit

Chapter 64 Recording Begins

When Jiang Li arrived at the hotel, Tang Xiaoxiao took her to the front desk to get the room card.

By the way, he also sent her to the door of her room. Jiang Li lived in a double room.

Living with her is an older sister who looks to be in her 30s, with a little girl.

Seeing Jiang Li come in, Huang Xiaomei explained to her somewhat embarrassedly.

Because she is a single mother, if she comes out to participate in the show, there will be no one to help her take care of her children.

So she brought her children with her and stayed in the hotel.

Huang Xiaomei also specifically explained that the child was very well-behaved and would not disturb Jiang Li.

Jiang Li glanced at the somewhat shy little girl behind her, but didn't say anything more.

It was just a temporary residence anyway, so she didn't care.

Huang Xiaomei was very excited after getting Jiang Li's consent, and she took her child to thank Jiang Li.

She also took out some apples that she grew at home from her suitcase and gave them to Jiang Li to taste.

Jiang Li refused at first, but Huang Xiaomei washed one for her and gave it to her.

In the end, she had no choice but to accept it, and took out some snacks from the ones Jiang Xu brought for her and gave them to the child.

After all, it is not good to take other people's things for free. If you don't understand clearly, it will become a favor, which is difficult to repay.

It would be better to pay her back right now so that neither of us owes her anything.

Jiang Li arrived on time and arrived in Jiangzhen just the day before the recording of the program.

On the day of recording the program, she and Huang Xiaomei had breakfast together and went to the recording site together.

As for the child being alone in the hotel, Huang Xiaomei said that she was often alone in hotels and was very independent.

After hearing this, Jiang Li just locked the important things in the suitcase. Although he was a child, he still had to be on guard against others.

At nine o'clock in the morning, kitchens from all over the country had arrived at the recording site one after another.

A middle-aged man wearing a dark long gown, tall and thin, walked slowly onto the stage.

He is Cui Zongli, the director of the "Chef Contest" program team.

After him, a group of people followed him onto the stage.

"Please be quiet, everyone."

"First of all, welcome everyone to the "Chef Contest". This program is sponsored by XX Group, XX Company, XX Live Broadcasting Platform..."

After the host's introduction, he raised his voice and spoke solemnly.

"I declare that the Chef Contest is now officially underway!"

"Now please allow Director Choi Jong-ri to speak."

The microphone was handed to Cui Zongli, and he bowed deeply to all the contestants present.

"The first episode of 'The Chef Contest' will be recorded in a week. In the next week..."

Sure enough, whether it was during the auditions or now, the opening remarks of the show make people feel sleepy.

Jiang Li resisted the urge to yawn and tried to concentrate on listening to the director introduce the rules of the competition.

All 100 chefs participating in the "Chef Contest" will be divided into 20 groups by drawing lots, with 5 people in each group.

The theme of the first recording is "fan", and each group will receive two additional keywords related to "fan".

When it is finally presented, these two additional keywords should also be reflected in it.

In addition, except for some private occasions such as going to the toilet and taking a shower, the entire program is recorded by a camera crew.

Now, the recording has begun.

Basically every group has a cameraman following them, which adds a reality show element to the program.

Your every move will be displayed in front of everyone. For Jiang Li, she can't use the system ingredients, after all, there are too many people and too many eyes.

Moreover, she had not originally planned to use the ingredients produced by the system. If she could not explain their origin, it would only cause trouble for herself.

Soon, each chef went up to the stage to receive his or her team number.

Jiang Li was assigned to the fifteenth group, which consisted of three ladies and two boys.

They all seem to be easy to get along with. Jiang Li is quite satisfied with this combination.

After dividing into groups, we start to extract keywords for each group.

Cui Zongli held a tablet in his hand, and when his fingers fell, the image on the tablet was synchronized to the large screen behind him.

Various texts scrolled by and everyone looked up at the screen, holding their breath.

Jiang Li was no longer sleepy and looked at the big screen.

The large screen scrolling ends and the first group of keywords appears.

“Colorful and fresh.”

The words that appeared on the screen sparked discussion among everyone, and everyone contributed their ideas and made various guesses.

"What do you mean by color? Do you want to make a colorful meal?"

“It needs to be colorful and delicious. Could it be seafood fried rice?”

"Seafood fried rice can test a chef's cooking skills, and it requires technical skills to make."

Cui Zongli stood on the stage and presented a group of words for one minute, giving everyone enough time to take photos.

Soon, it was the fifteenth group.

The scrolling slowly stops and the results appear.

“Fresh and rich.”

The keywords of each group are different, but there are some repeated words, and the combinations are different.

After the program team announced the keywords, they left cameramen to follow each group, and the rest of the time was left to them.

When Jiang Li and a few others met, they introduced themselves to each other.

"My name is Zhu Xinliang. I work in a hotel and am good at cooking fusion cuisine."

"My name is He Anguo, hello, I'm just a vendor selling fried noodles and fried rice."

"My name is Tian Guizhen. I'm older than all of you. You can just call me Sister Tian. I'm a seafood dealer. Just leave all the seafood to me."

"My name is Lin Jiaying. I am a Mongolian and I am good at cooking Mongolian food."

The last person to introduce herself was Jiang Li. She was the youngest among the group and consciously left herself to the last.

"I'm Jiang Li. I'm good at cooking home-cooked meals. I hope you brothers and sisters will take care of me."

After everyone finished their introductions, the five people were not in a hurry to study the topic.

Zhu Xinliang greeted everyone with a smile, saying that it was getting late, so they might as well go have a meal first so that they could work better after they were full.

The hotel where he worked was even better and it was nearby, so we all went there to have a meal together, and he was the chef and treated everyone to a meal.

Sister Tian smiled and said, "Then I'd better obey your order. It's a good opportunity to taste the chef's cooking skills."

This made Zhu Xinliang feel embarrassed and he scratched his head.

"Actually, I'm just making fusion food. Don't expect too much, or you'll be disappointed."

"The famous chef of Qinghai Hotel is being modest. Everyone knows that Chef Zhu's dishes are hard to come by."

Lin Jiaying arrived a few days in advance and had a certain understanding of many of the contestants.

Especially for well-known chefs like these, you can find a lot of information about them by just searching on the Internet.
