Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 901 895. Mainstay
The research department is overcoming difficulties one by one.

Preparations for the chef competition named "New Taste" have also entered the final stage.

Among gourmets in many places, a piece of news began to spread...

For example, Liang Qiyuan and Hou Hui.

They are all from Zhangzhou, Fujian.

Liang Qiyuan's main occupation is chef.

Hou Hui is a food writer.

However, they prefer their other identity, gourmet, and call themselves gluttons.

Today, Hou Hui accidentally got a wild yellow croaker. This is a good thing, so he quickly took it to share with his old friend.

When Liang Qiyuan saw the yellow croaker, he also couldn't let it go. He closed the shop on the spot and cooked a dish of yellow croaker with silver threads himself.

After the meal was ready, the two gourmets sat opposite each other in silence, sharing the delicious food.

"Have you heard that another TV station wants to hold a chef competition?" After spitting out the last piece of fish tail, Liang Qiyuan talked about the hot topics recently.

Hou Hui curled his lips and snorted, "It's boring, it's all nonsense."

This is also the unanimous opinion of gourmets on this type of program.

At the beginning, they all liked programs like the King of Cooking Contest and chef competitions very much and watched every episode.

But gradually, I didn't want to watch it anymore.

What the hell are they all?

The programs were originally quite good, but within two years they were all being "revised" and "innovated".

But as time went by, the "delicious food" was gone.

A cooking competition, is it still called a cooking competition without delicious food?

If I want to read your superficial and dry talk about culture and humanistic concerns, why not just watch "A Bite of China"?

There are also variety show directors who seem to think that the "pure cooking process looks boring" and deliberately avoid the cooking segment, and also pursue the fusion of such messy forms as food + celebrities, food + interviews, food + music, and food + management.

Get a bunch of celebrities to sing, dance and chat, and mingle among the chefs, squeezing out the main characters.

Even there are a few still in the competition.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

What kind of judges are these? Arrogant, ignorant, and impolite, they think swearing is fun.

The most important thing is that they are not professional. Some of them don’t even know the ingredients, yet they serve as judges. Any housewife is better than them.

Then have some weird hosts say stupid things like, "Ah, this is soy sauce.", "Ah, is this black pepper or white pepper?", "This contestant deep-fries the fish before cooking."

That's called frying...

The cooking programs produced by those TV stations are really not as good as the cooking videos made by individuals on the Internet.

Anyway, there are fewer and fewer formal cooking programs nowadays. They have almost disappeared in recent years. Even if there are, they fail to make a splash.

In contrast, there are more and more food bloggers on the Internet, and top chefs from all walks of life have also joined the scene, and their posts are watched frequently.

This means that either the audience doesn’t like to watch the shows, or the shows are poorly made.

"What a waste of that skill. I remember Gao Bingyi participated in it two years ago. What a great skill, but the filming was so bad. It's better to watch the old rice bones. It's boring..."

Hou Hui made one final comment and the dinner ended.

As a result, a few days later, Hou Hui came to see Liang Qiyuan again, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Well, I'm planning to sign up for the cooking competition show you mentioned last time. Let's join in."

Liang Qiyuan looked puzzled, "Didn't you say it was a gimmick and boring? Why do you want to participate again?"

After saying that, he waved his hands repeatedly, "No, I know my skills, but I can't even get a spot locally, so I can't participate in the competition."

Hou Hui shook his head. "It's not a competition, it's a registration to be a judge. They are all professional judges this time, twenty gourmets and five famous chefs, scoring on the spot. The contestants are all top players, state banquet chefs. Gao Bingyi, who I mentioned last time, also participated. If nothing else, it's worth it to have the opportunity to taste Mr. Gao's cooking skills." It was fine at first, but when Liang Qiyuan heard Gao Bingyi's name, he became interested, "What's going on? Tell me in detail."

"It's like this." Hou Hui cleared his throat, took a sip of tea, and prepared for a long speech.

"This time it was not organized by a TV station, but by the same company that filmed "Searching for Taste" last year. "Searching for Taste" is well filmed, and it really talks about good things. The black chicken they introduced eats medicinal herbs and wild fruits, drinks mountain springs, can climb trees and swim, and can fight eagles. I even bought one, and it was delicious. There are also cattle from the horse pastures of the pre-Qin Dynasty and pigs from the mountain city with five layers of flowers. They are delicious, delicious."

Hou Hui’s main focus is on the ingredients introduced in the taste search.

As a chef, Liang Qiyuan focused on another direction.

"The three chefs are really good at cooking. They have different philosophies and different factions. They are three different paths, but they all end up in the same place. I have benefited a lot from my understanding of cooking."

"Yes, yes, yes." Hou Hui immediately interjected, "It's the company that does Xunwei. They are actually an agricultural company that makes top-quality ingredients and cultivates new varieties. The program they made this time is called "New Flavors". The purpose is to promote new varieties of ingredients. It is said that they have never appeared on the market. After they were discovered, they have been in the laboratory and have only recently been studied. The purpose of this program is to promote it, and secondly, because no one has ever seen this thing, so they asked chefs to study the method."

"What exactly is this new ingredient?" Liang Qiyuan asked hurriedly.

Hou Hui smiled bitterly, "I don't know. It will be announced after the competition starts. So, how about signing up to be a judge?"

"I have to go. How do I sign up..."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The state banquet chefs and brand-new ingredients have unlimited appeal to gourmets.

In addition, with the good reputation of "Searching for Flavors", it immediately became a sensation among gourmets and food lovers all over the country.

Similar things happen to chefs.

For example, Gao Bingyi mentioned by Hou Hui.

He is the vice president of the China Cuisine Association and chairman of the Famous Chef Committee of the China Cuisine Association. He is good at Shandong cuisine, has won five gold medals in international cooking competitions, published six professional books, and developed more than 500 dishes.

They have abilities, fame, and most importantly, creativity and theories, so they were selected by Master Lin and his team in the first batch.

For this cooking competition, New Taste must invite Gao Bingyi to participate, it is the perfect choice.

Gao Bingyi is not so easy to invite.

Han Yun stepped forward and politely declined.

Master Lin and Master Xu passed the message on and after considering it, they politely declined.

Chairman of the Culinary Association, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Shaanxi TV jointly invited us.

It was such a big fuss, Gao Bingyi was wondering, it was just a show, why had so many scenes been filmed over the years? Was it really that important?

Of course, as for new crops, they have great potential for development in the future and have the prospect of becoming an industry.

In other words, it will enrich people's tables, increase farmers' income, and form a related industrial chain.

To the outside world, it is originally from XJ, the Silk Road, the Belt and Road Initiative, and an export specialty. It can be packaged as a high-end ingredient.

However, Gao Bingyi was scared by the inexplicable cooking shows in recent years, so he didn't say he was dead.

At last.

It was Master Wang who took action again.

Although this old man has no honors, he retired early.

He has a wide network of contacts among the older generation of chefs.

He actually knew Ji Shuchang. When they were still working in the state-owned canteen, workers and peasants from all walks of life supported the Third Front Campaign, and the chef community could not fall behind.

Ji Shuchang, a master of Shandong cuisine, came to Tianhan and stayed for four months, preparing delicious food to comfort the builders of the Third Front.

It was at that time that Master Wang established a friendship with him and became his registered disciple, from whom he learned a lot.

Ji Shuchang was Gao Bingyi's mentor.

Master Wang brought up this great man and explained some of the key points.

The mainstay of the program "New Taste", get it!
