i'm just a cook

An Qi stood tall, wearing a smooth water-green dress dragging to the ground, looking at Lu Xiaozhan with a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes flickering like a goddess.

Looking at An Qi's beautiful face, Lu Xiaozhan felt a little guilty, but also a little fascinated by the little dimple at the corner of An Qi's right mouth, and he scratched the back of his head and laughed dryly.

"Don't be surprised. It was the second sister who called me. I thought that I would come to Tianhai sooner or later anyway. I might as well come a few days earlier to cheer you up." An Qi pursed her lips and chuckled, and took a look. The beauties around Lu Xiaozhan joked, "But it seems that I was worrying too much, you have even prepared the beauties cheering group."

Ye Rongrong stepped forward and took An Qi's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister An Qi, today I brought Zhen Zhen here as a judge, don't worry."

An Qi said with a smile: "Sister Hua, I'm just teasing him, do you think I'm such a narrow-minded person?" She took Lu Xiaozhan's hand and winked at him, "Xiao Zhan, what are you doing?" Let me introduce your friends."

Lu Xiaozhan bit the bullet and introduced them one by one, slandering bitterly in his heart: "Wow, beauty, you are still my second sister! Seeing such an opportunity to make a splash today, you found An Qi for me, what a shame. Didn't you ruin my plan to pick up girls? I curse you to have pimples on your face tonight! Hmph..."

Fang Xu and the Ye family sisters met An Qi before, but it was nothing. Wang Yan and the others couldn't help being startled when they saw that the goddess-like beauty holding Lu Xiaozhan's hand was actually his wife.Just when I was about to ask something, the person in charge of the organizer of the competition committee came to ask Fang Xu to prepare to host on stage, and the competition was about to officially start.Lu Xiaozhan hurriedly used excuses to sneak away, and called Guo Jiaping to the No. [-] competition table on the right side assigned to him, sorted out raw materials and knives, and got ready.All the beauties also took their seats one after another, and for the time being, they no longer fretted over the issue of Lu Xiaozhan having a wife.

Several judges have already taken their seats, and the contestants are also wearing neat chef uniforms and chef hats, with their hands crossed in front of their stomachs, waiting for the official start of the competition.

Fang Xu held the script in his left hand and held the skirt in his right, and walked up to the stage with a slight twist of his waist. With a wave of the director's hand, the lights in the hall changed and music played.Fang Xu, who had put on makeup, was wearing a shiny royal blue dress, which looked even more dazzling and glamorous under the spotlight.Fang Xu's tactful opening remarks, which were not nutritious, attracted countless applause. Although most of them were cheered by men, it also showed that Fang Xu's hosting skills are extraordinary.

"First of all, I would like to introduce you to the judges present here." Fang Xu turned slightly, raised his plain hand and pointed to the judges seat with a smile on his face, "The vice president of the International Culinary Association, Mr. Martin from France, from the UK Mr. Fernandez, the executive chef of the Westin Hotel in London, Ms. Zhu Meiyi, a food critic from Huaxia, and the three sponsors of the competition - Chairman Yuan Yongshen of Huaxia Hongda Group, Chairman Shi Magang of Huaxia Huawei Group, Huaxia Chairman You Zhongquan of Youshi Group, and lastly, this is Miss Hualang, a beautiful writer from China."

Every time Fang Xu introduced someone, the audience applauded to show politeness. When he introduced Hwarang, the applause suddenly became enthusiastic, like thunder.

Lu Xiaozhan poked Guo Jiaping who was beside him, then lowered his body and said, "Hey, Sister Hua's popularity is really not for cover, I guess she will definitely cover me today."

Guo Jiaping said with a look of disdain: "Master Lu, with your... this level, I believe you can get the first place without... no one!"

Lu Xiaozhan smiled brightly: "Small mouth is so sweet, if you are a girl, I will definitely reward you."

Guo Jiaping couldn't help shivering, "..."

After introducing the judges, Fang Xu looked at both sides of the stage again: "The next thing I would like to introduce is today's contestants, the first one..." Fang Xu introduced one by one on the stage, while Lu Xiaozhan rolled his eyes. He glanced down at her, not paying attention to the names of those contestants at all.Suddenly, Lu Xiaozhan noticed a slight change in Fang Xu's face. He seemed to be trying to hold back a smile. He paused and said, "The fourth contestant is Mr. Ozawa Mari from Ginza Star Restaurant in Tokyo, Japan."

Lu Xiaozhan was startled and almost laughed out loud, and heard the audience and reporters laughing and whispering, "So he is Mari Ozawa?"

A female voice said angrily: "Rogue, I know you are not a good person! Hearing Maria Ozawa is so excited!"

The man retorted: "Cut, don't you know her name too? Don't tell me you knew her from the football newspaper."

Everyone was noisy under the stage, and Lu Xiaozhan couldn't hear the name of the fifth person. When he was still thinking about the relationship between this Ozawa Mali and that Ozawa family's daughter, he heard Fang Xu's voice obviously raised a bit. Decibel said: "The sixth contestant is Mr. Lu Xiaozhan from the Bird of Paradise Western Restaurant in Tianhai City!"

Hearing that Fang Xu had reported his name, Lu Xiaozhan quickly straightened the chef's scarf, adjusted his chef's hat, and bowed to the judges' seat. Yuan Yongshen waved to him with a smile, and Shi Magang squeezed him. Ye Rongrong smiled and nodded to him to show encouragement.

Lu Xiaozhan turned sideways again and waved his left hand coquettishly at the audience, with a sunny smile on his face.I have to say that the biggest highlight of the audience today is probably Lu Xiaozhan. When Lu Xiaozhan's right arm hanging around his neck fell into the audience's sight, it immediately caused an uproar.In the face of many international celebrity chefs, this thin young man dared to meet the challenge with one hand. Although he was the only one with his assistants, no matter whether he succeeded or not, his courage was commendable.

When Fang Xu introduced Sharapova, who was next to Lu Xiaozhan, the blond, blue-eyed, fiery Russian beauty smiled and blew a kiss to the audience, which immediately sparked another riot in the audience.

At this moment, Lu Xiaozhan's ears moved, and he faintly heard the Japanese contestant Mari Ozawa muttering in a low voice: "The clown who wants to make a splash..." Looking up, he saw the famous Japanese chef sneering with disdain.Lu Xiaozhan remained calm, but he was secretly thinking about how to make him make a fool of himself, so as to kill his arrogance.

Sharapova is a middle-aged French chef with straight brows and dazed eyes. The front half of her head has been rested, and she looks quite old.Fang Xu introduced that this contestant is called Marty, and it is said that he once won No.2 in the Master Chef Competition.Regarding this, Lu Xiaozhan just curled his lips, and whispered to Sharapova in Russian: "Seeing that he has lost half of the hair on his forehead, he will be the second one. I guess he hasn't made much progress." Sharapova covered her mouth and suppressed a smile, her shoulders twitched.

When the next one was introduced, Lu Xiaozhan was overjoyed, and it turned out to be the fat bald Jerry.Fang Xu glanced at the manuscript: "Contestant No. [-] is the executive chef of Huaxia Capital Oriental Hotel, Mr. Jerry from the United States." Lu Xiaozhan whispered to Guo Jiaping: "Do you think the organizer did it on purpose? He's behind that half-bald French chef, doesn't it look like the French chef's forehead isn't so shabby?" Guo Jiaping couldn't help but cover his mouth and hold back his laughter just like Sharapova, with his shoulders twitching.

Fang Xu finished introducing them one by one, looked at the time, and said loudly with a smile: "Now, the Chef Contest has officially started!" The music started, and it was the famous Chinese song "General Order". Lu Xiaozhan was stunned: "Why play this song? This is The Master Chef Competition or Huashan Discussion of Swords?"
