The strongest boss in Huadu

Chapter 378 Entering the finals
Chapter 379 Entering the Final

Lu Qi looked at Yu Manxiang, who was cooking seriously, with a concentrated look, which made him feel really comfortable.

So secretly took out the phone.

This adjective is used wrongly, it cannot be called secretly, it is called aboveboard.

"Crack!"

Embarrassed, Lu Qi forgot to close the shutter.

This was heard by Boss Cai.

Boss Cai, who was also seriously watching the game, turned his head to look at Lu Qi.

All he could see was Lu Qi holding a mobile phone, and on the mobile phone was taking pictures of Yu Manxiang who was seriously competing.

"Ha ha!"

Boss Cai smiled lightly.

He seemed to understand Lu Qi.

"Boss Cai, today is an important day for Manxiang, I promised her to take some photos for her."

Lu Qi was so flustered that he was not ashamed or ashamed, his face was neither red nor out of breath.

"I understand."

Boss Cai, who looked very haggard, still smiled and joked at this time.

Of the eight contestants on the field, the youngest must be Yu Manxiang.

Of the other seven, the youngest is in his thirties.

The oldest one is over fifty years old.

The purpose is to pursue a supreme honor in the Chinese food industry.

If you want to be recognized by the world for your top level of Chinese food cooking, you have to win the championship of the competition.

"That female chef who looks young, the way she kills fish is different."

"The combination of the hand and the knife is perfect, fast and delicate, seemingly soft and weak, but actually hides softness."

"This knife skill is really wonderful!"

"Although a male chef can control the strength very well, he can also be dexterous and soft."

"But in this regard, women have more advantages, coupled with acquired hard work and talent, this is something that men cannot catch up with."

"So, physically speaking, that female chef is definitely the most energetic among the eight contestants."

"I have a hunch that the squirrel mandarin fish she makes must be unique and worth looking forward to."

A leading figure in the Chinese restaurant industry, an old referee who was almost seventy years old, praised Yu Manxiang all the time.

And this praise has also been recognized by several other referees.

"Old, I don't think that women are women after all, and the things they make will always be tangible and tasteless."

A middle-aged foodie with tinted myopia speaks against the old words.

Gu Gu didn't refute him, he just had a smile on his face, revealing his satisfaction.

Among the eight contestants, three are chefs from China's top Chinese catering companies.

The fat man with a friendly face is a chef from Juquande Catering Company in Kyoto.

The tallest person in the audience, with a thin body and a hemorrhoid at the corner of his mouth, is the chef from Guangdu Restaurant Company.

And the chef with pockmarks on his face is the chef from the restaurant of the Ewha Building in Modu.

These three are Huaxia's catering companies currently focusing on Chinese food.

It is also currently the top three Chinese catering companies in China.

Although they are the top three Chinese food and beverage companies in Huaxia, the combined market value of the three of them is less than one-fifth of that of Qiansheng Huaxia, which specializes in foreign fast food.

This is the gap.

Moreover, the names of these three Huaxia Chinese food and catering companies in the Huaxia Catering Company are gradually falling behind.

Juquande, which used to be ranked in the top five, has fallen to more than a dozen.

Now the best Guangdu restaurant barely ranks tenth.

And the top ones are basically foreign fast food or a combination of Chinese and Western fast food.

Of course, if it is pure Chinese food, there is Haidilao, which ranks second.

Unfortunately, it only has hot pot.

You can get the second place in hot pot, which is a kind of skill, but it does not represent Chinese food.

Anyone who has eaten Hai Di Lao knows, is its hot pot delicious?
I believe everyone will answer, so-so.

The taste of one is mediocre, but the ability to get the hot pot to the second place in Huaxia Catering Company is not due to its delicious taste, but to service and marketing.

In this world, because the fierce market competition is part of the market demand, it seems that the taste alone can no longer attract customers.

Instead, it relies more on various marketing.

But, is it really not enough to attract customers just because it tastes good?

The answer to this is no.

The biggest feature of Chinese food is that it is delicious in color, flavor and taste, and there are thousands of dishes, so we can choose a lot.

If you can’t keep up with the times, it’s not because the taste is bad, but because you can’t innovate, and you can’t create dishes and tastes that suit modern people.

No matter which line of work, you must keep up with the times and trends.

Of course, the older generation likes the taste and dishes of the older generation, but if you still insist on the dishes and taste of the older generation, then you will lose your youth, and you will lose a lot of market.

What you have to do is to transform and upgrade on the basis of the original.

Eight plates of squirrel mandarin fish are neatly arranged on a rectangular table.

"Scoop the marinade!"

Listening is also one of the criteria for referees to judge.

The sound of eight plates of squirrel mandarin fish being topped with marinade was heard by the referees.

In terms of dialogue, every referee has scored points.

After pouring the marinade, the eight chefs ordered something for their squirrel mandarin fish.

Then the referee is to see the shape.

The perfect shape of squirrel mandarin fish is like a squirrel walking slowly, which is why this dish is called squirrel mandarin fish.

If there is no shape, then this squirrel mandarin fish cannot really be called squirrel mandarin fish.

Because it has no shape, and shape is also a part of the soul.

After watching the shape, the referees also scored points.

Next is color.

The squirrel mandarin fish pays attention to the bright color, with a classic golden color.

Just the color makes people feel a sense of joy when they look at it.

The last is taste, and of course it is the most important part, because taste is the real soul.

So the judges tasted every plate of squirrel mandarin fish.

After a few minutes, all the referees returned to their seats.

It seems that everyone has their own works that they are satisfied with.

"Okay, on behalf of all the judges, I will announce the list of finalists for this year's Chinese Cuisine World Competition."

The oldest person, Gu Gu, said in a vicissitudes of life.

The exciting time has come.

Yu Manxiang, who was standing on the field, clasped her hands tightly. It was obvious that Yu Manxiang was nervous.

But Lu Qi, who was sitting in the auditorium, didn't feel any nervousness.

Because Lu Qi definitely believed that Yu Manxiang could enter the final.

Not for any reason, just because Lu Qi trusted Yu Manxiang, and believed that the squirrel mandarin fish made by Yu Manxiang was absolutely unique in the field.

"Shui Yisheng; He Liang; Wei Qing; Yan Shi"

When the fourth name was read, Yu Manxiang's palms seemed to be sweating.

After all, she is a 22-year-old girl, although she has great confidence in herself, but
"Yu Manxiang!"

One last name to speak out.

"Clap clap clap!"

There was tearful applause from the audience at the same time.

When Yu Manxiang heard that it was her own name, her body relaxed, and the tension disappeared.

Lu Qi could tell that Yu Manxiang was very nervous just now.

The pressure brought by the feeling of waiting is indeed a normal reaction of the contestants.

Because it is the final, so the five contestants will be given a longer rest period.

A full half an hour.

But you can only go back to the lounge to rest, and you can't contact people outside.

This also allows players to adjust their mentality.

"Xiaoqi, I heard that you hired someone to manage Longhua Chinese Restaurant."

"Yes, that person has rich experience in managing catering companies, and he is very nice. I am a student, and I still have a lot to do. I don't have time to manage it."

"That's right, successful bosses never do it themselves."

"Boss Cai praised me, I'm just a person who pays but doesn't work hard."

"I've heard that Longhua Chinese Restaurant is developing rapidly and the business is booming! In just over a month, Nanshi has opened several more branches, and plans to establish branches in various cities in Guangnan Province."

"It seems that the future of Longhua Chinese Restaurant is really promising."

Huang Tingting reported the Longhua Chinese food incident to Lu Qi every day.

And Long Meimei would report to Lu Qi every few days.

Therefore, during this period of time, Lu Qi of Longhua Chinese Restaurant has noticed that, indeed, the development momentum is very strong, and the performance is very strong.

Long Meimei is definitely an A-level talent.

Shortly after taking office, the performance of Longhua Chinese Restaurant was immediate.
