i'm just a cook

Martin looked at the audience with a smile, and kept his mouth shut. The audience and reporters couldn't help shouting, as if they had secretly agreed, and gradually they began to repeat the same name: " Lu Xiaozhan! Lu Xiaozhan! Lu Xiaozhan..."

Martin looked at the excited audience in the stands, and said with a smile: "That's right, the champion of this competition is Mr. Lu Xiaozhan from Paradise Bird Western Restaurant in Huaxiahai City!" The audience responded loudly, and everyone stood up and gave Lu Xiaozhan the warmest applause.

Lu Xiaozhan stroked his bangs on his forehead, walked to the front of the stage on small flowery steps, shook hands with Martin, took the golden trophy, held it up high and grinned at the audience: "Thank you for your praise of me so much. Shouldn't we pretend to be shy and give an acceptance speech?" The audience burst into laughter, and Lu Xiaozhan continued, "I won't talk too much about the scene, and everyone here will give a discount to our Bird of Paradise western restaurant."

A reporter asked: "How much discount can you give us?"

Lu Xiaozhan said generously: "[-]% off!"

Everyone booed: "Cut...you are too slamming!"

Lu Xiaozhan scratched his head in embarrassment: "This... is better than Ning Wan not discounting?"

After a burst of laughter, a reporter asked: "Chef Lu, I'm a reporter from Xinhua Gourmet News. Please forgive me for asking a question. How can you produce such wonderful works at such a young age?"

Lu Xiaozhan stared into the distance with both eyes, and said with a deep expression: "Actually, I... have a very gluttonous godfather. When I was just able to make soy sauce, he forced me to let me learn to cook. Just imagine, everyone. I was holding a spatula and swinging a kitchen knife when I was not as high as the stove. What a sad child? When I was a little older, he took me around the world and learned how to cook delicious things everywhere, which made me even pick up girls. I don’t have any time. So...my skills are all thanks to my godfather, that old man.” Godfather Luo Qingshan suddenly sneezed in far away Canada, blowing his nose and muttering: Who misses me? ?

Another foreign reporter asked: "Chef Lu, I am a reporter from Eisen Fashion Magazine. May I ask why you were blindfolded when you participated in the competition? Is it for a stunt?"

Lu Xiaozhan placed his thumb and index finger on his chin, winked his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't you think this is handsome? But I suggest that you don't try it lightly, your hand will hurt and bleed if you cut it." Behind him, Guo Jiaping imitated Lu Xiaozhan's knife with closed eyes With a scream, he dropped the sharp knife in his hand and covered his bleeding fingers.

A female reporter beside Chen Lei stood up excitedly and asked: "Chef Lu, I am a reporter from Tianhai Daily, I think you can cook so many delicacies, as your girlfriend or wife, it should be a Very happy. May I ask Chef Lu, do you have a girlfriend now?"

Lu Xiaozhan glanced at Chen Lei with a smile, and replied: "It's almost there. There was a beautiful woman who said to me with tears in her eyes that she would give her body, but when I finally saw her again, she was reckless. The female Chen Shimei!" Chen Lei covered her face and ran away...

The reporters asked all kinds of questions, and Lu Xiaozhan answered them one by one, and finally escaped with Fang Xu's rescue.

Xu Wei came over with Lu Xiaozhan's phone in hand: "Xiao Zhan, your phone number."

Lu Xiaozhan answered the phone without looking at it: "Hello, who is it?"

"Boss, I'm Zheng Junguang." A voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'm at the venue."

Lu Xiaozhan looked around: "Where is it? Why didn't I see you?"

Zheng Junguang smiled and said, "Look at the door."

Lu Xiaozhan looked around and was startled: "Ah... isn't this the popular singer Zhong Xian? Why did this master chef contest invite him?"

The reporters and the audience obviously also noticed it, and Zhong Xian was surrounded by screams.

Zhong Xian greeted everyone with a smile, and pointed to Lu Xiaozhan: "Sorry, I just arrived here, let me say hello to my friends first."

A reporter asked in surprise: "Zhong Xian, are you good friends with Chef Lu?"

Zhong Xian nodded: "Yes, he and I are very good friends, and today I came here specially to cheer for him."

Amid the astonishment and exclamation of everyone, Lu Xiaozhan was confused, and said in a daze, "When did I know Zhong Xian? Are we still good friends with him? Could it be that there was something else that I should tell you when I lost my memory?" Forgot?" Suddenly he slapped his thigh and said in shock: "Is there anything else that happened during that time that I forgot? Could it be that my virgin body was also broken and I don't remember? It's a loss! Ouch! Hey..." Xu Wei slapped him hard, and rolled his eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhong Xian gently pushed aside the crowd, stepped forward and held Lu Xiaozhan's hand, and said softly: "Boss, what about my celebrity look? It's cool?"

Lu Xiaozhan was shocked: "You are..." He suddenly came to his senses, lowered his voice and said, "You are Brother Guang? Damn, you suddenly gave me such a blow, my little heart can't stand the blow! There's nothing I can do these days Passed..." Then he raised his voice and said with a smile: "Oh little white rabbit, you haven't come to see me for a while."

"Pfft..." The reporters on the side burst into laughter.White Rabbit?Zhong Xian's nickname hit everyone's foreheads like a thunderbolt, so a message appeared on many people's Weibo one minute later: extra large!Superstar Zhong Xian has a super cute nickname called Little White Rabbit!

Zheng Junguang pulled Lu Xiaozhan in embarrassment: "Hey, I have to run away if you say that, I'm all posting on Weibo there, if Zhen Zhongxian finds out that I'm bluffing and deceiving, I'll be a gangster."

Lu Xiaozhan scratched the back of his head: "This... I didn't expect so much, okay, you retreat quickly, and I will find you later. Be careful if Zhong Xian finds out, let his fan club come and shoot you with a big broom."

Zheng Junguang walked out of the hotel lobby with a smile on his pale face, and in the blink of an eye, he escaped from the reporter's tail and ran to nowhere.

The series of chaos caused by Zhong Xian's incident quickly subsided, and everyone's eyes were locked on Lu Xiaozhan again, asking how Lu Xiaozhan and Zhong Xian knew each other, what was the inside story, and he even called Zhong Xian Does the little white rabbit mean that the two are having an affair, etc., Lu Xiaozhan forced a smile and perfunctory one by one.

After Guo Jiaping packed up the tools and raw materials, he stood aside and waited for Lu Xiaozhan's instructions. Lu Xiaozhan ran to bid farewell to Ye Rongrong, Shi Magang, Yuan Yongshen, and several other contestants. He turned around and waved to the reporters and the audience, saying: "Welcome everyone to visit our Bird of Paradise Western Restaurant, so I'll take my leave first. Goodbye everyone!" After finishing speaking, she stopped looking for Fang Xu, Chen Lei, Dong Shu and other beauties, and pulled her sister and An Qi out of the hotel as if fleeing for their lives. , back to Birds of Paradise.

The headline on the evening paper that day was impressively written in big bold letters: Huaxia's one-armed master chef performed blindfolded, surpassed all others, and won the championship!There is a close-up photo of Lu Xiaozhan on the side, a handsome and handsome Lu Xiaozhan with a smile on his mouth, a black chef's scarf covering his eyes, a plaster cast on his right hand hanging around his neck, and a sharp bone-evisculating knife in his left hand. The prawns are neatly stacked on the table.Handsome, domineering and restrained, he is such a maverick and coquettish cook.

I don’t know if it’s for a gimmick or to show Lu Xiaozhan’s unique demeanor. In the future, almost all newspapers, magazines and other media will publish photos of Lu Xiaozhan’s blindfolded knife dance. Through the lens, many good-for-nothing people have searched for photos of the whole picture of the one-armed chef, but to no avail. They can only see a young assistant with a big head, a big face, a black and fat face next to the blindfolded one-armed chef.It has to be said that Lu Xiaozhan's blindfolded knife dancing stunt on TV shocked the entire Tianhai City. It is said that within a month after the scene was broadcast, the number of injured patients who came to the emergency rooms of major hospitals to treat severed fingers increased sharply. .

In the days after the Master Chef Contest, more and more guests came to the Bird of Paradise to dine, and even many guests who lived far away came here admiringly, many of them came for the name of the one-armed Master Chef.The most ordered dishes in the restaurant are of course the "Butterfly Love Flower" and "Huaxia Cuisine". Fortunately, the head chef of the Bird of Paradise caught Lu Xiaozhan to demonstrate it on the day the competition ended. It's at Lu Xiaozhan's level, but it's still similar in shape.

Lu Man was so busy that he wished he could grow a few more hands and feet. Even Xu Weiding, Feng He Dandan and Zheng Junguang who just came to Tianhai came to help, but he was reluctant to let his injured younger brother get tired and insisted on letting him rest at home.After Guo Jiaping was shocked by Lu Xiaozhan's superb cooking skills at the competition, he resolutely resigned to the proprietress who is the chef. No matter how hard the proprietress begged or promised a salary increase, he was even so excited that his face fell all over the place. He was kind and honest. Guo Jiaping still cruelly picked up his luggage and went to the Bird of Paradise.

In this way, one of Lu Man's problems was temporarily solved. Not only was the strength of the kitchen greatly increased, but also when many guests asked to meet and take a photo with the one-armed chef, Lu Man always pushed Guo Jiaping out, claiming that : The One-Armed Master Chef will not take photos with customers for the time being in order to maintain a sense of mystery. This is his apprentice, who also helped on the spot that day. If you have a photo request, you can find him instead.The second-best customers are always happily pulling, hugging or hugging Guo Jiaping to take pictures. As a result, the most famous one-armed chef in the Bird of Paradise Restaurant is the one-armed master chef, and the most popular image is Guo Jiaping's photo. Simple and honest big black fat face.In order to take care of Guo Jiaping who came to Lu Xiaozhan from afar and was so busy with the Bird of Paradise, after discussion with Lu Man and Xu Wei, it was unanimously decided that Guo Jiaping officially began to call Lu Xiaozhan his master, and Lu Xiaozhan himself had no objections.

Of course, there are also some guests who don’t come here for the delicious food. Angel Ye Zhenzhen, who had nothing to do before the start of school, also came to the Bird of Paradise to help. Be a waiter, even if you don't get paid, you are willing to do it.The four beauties each have their own style, with charming faces and graceful bodies, and their English is excellent. It didn't take long for the customers who came to the store to jokingly call them the four beauties of the Bird of Paradise Western Restaurant.What some male guests deeply remember after coming here is not all kinds of delicacies, but the four beautiful and delicious girls and two big beauties, Lu Man and Xu Wei.Since then, the business of the flower shop near the Bird of Paradise has also boomed. The restaurant receives many bouquets of roses and lilies every day. These are the ones that the male customers ordered for the six beauties, and the one that received the most bouquets As for Xu Wei and An Qi, He Dandan would have a headache dealing with those bouquets every day after closing time.However, this also brings another feature to the Bird of Paradise. When customers dine, they will find that there will be several roses and lilies on the table, and they will be replaced several times a day to keep the freshness of the flowers.

Wang Yan and Misha also came to enjoy some delicious food from time to time. Of course, when they came, they would notify Lu Xiaozhan in advance, ordering him to arrive within a certain time, and he would personally cook and accompany him for dinner.Lu Xiaozhan is naturally happy to enjoy the beauty's attention, but it's nothing to do when he's cooking, and he often feels a few eyes on his back when he's eating with him.Lu Xiaozhan knew it without turning his head, it must be An Qi and Ye Zhenzhen, sometimes even Yuan Yilin and Wang Lu would stare at him a few times, when Lu Xiaozhan once asked why he looked at him with hatred, the two A beautiful girl said angrily that he had time to pick up girls, but he didn't want to spend some time teaching himself how to play throwing knives. Lu Xiaozhan had no choice but to play Tai Chi to change the subject.

After a few leisurely days, Lu Xiaozhan was thinking whether to go to Wang Yan to talk about his life today or to go to Dong Shu to touch his little hand, when the phone rang.

Lu Xiaozhan picked up the phone and said impatiently, "Hello, who is it?"

Ding Feng's weak voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Zhan, fuck me, I'm going to die..."
