The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 149: Chef Lin Arrives

Chapter 149: Chef Lin Arrives (4-in- Chapter K)

The beautiful host received instructions from director Gao Shengqi through the portable headset, so she became even bolder, as if adding fuel to the fire and not afraid of any trouble.

I handed the microphone to Xia An, who was at the end of the celebrity chef team:

"Excuse me, Boss Xia, what do you want to say about the call for Miss Jing Nina, the famous chef, to fill in?"

Xia An was stunned, then smiled and said:
"I want to say."

"This is her only chance, she must seize it."

? ?
This time it was everyone in the studio's turn to be stunned.

Except for the small groups and senior executives who knew that Xia An would withdraw from the competition after this episode.

The rest of the people were confused and bewildered.

"Just this one chance?"

Kyonina whispered.

at the same time.

At the Nakiri residence, Alice cried out in surprise.

"Master, you are serious. Are you really going to withdraw from the competition after the third episode?"

Dojima Gin touched his bald head and said in confusion:
"It's strange. This show has a clear upward momentum. Plus, it just created a stir on the foreign Internet, and it has a tendency to open up the international market."

"Boss Xia chose to retire at this time?"

Saiba Chengyilang's eyes became slightly deeper, and he said with a smile:

"I do have a guess."

"Oh?" Dojima Gin listened attentively, "Tell me, Joichiro, I hate the Riddler the most."

Saiba Joichiro smiled and looked at Nakiri Senzaemon who remained silent.
"Commander-in-chief, are you willing to believe it?"

"I think... Boss Xia has most likely already broken through the special-grade gate and is now a special-grade chef."

This statement came out.

Not only Alice, but also the two sisters Erina were stunned.

Dojima Gin, Nakiri Munee and Nakiri Leonora were also visibly shocked.

"Master, this is already a special grade?"

Alice's head was spinning.

"You know, Shinomiya-senpai and Shiomi-senpai have been trapped in the special gate for many years!"

Dojima Gin was silent for a moment, then he slowly said:
"Even among the most outstanding graduates of the Totsuki Ten, half of them are promoted to the special grade in their future career as chefs. Then this class can be called the 'Silver Generation'."

Saiba Joichiro said with emotion:
"Looking back at the history of Totsuki, it seems that our class is the most amazing? The top ten of our class, over the past twenty years, have all found their culinary heart and become top-notch chefs."

The TV show quickly turned to the waiting stage as the good friends were reminiscing about their high school days.

Xia An came to his kitchen No. 7.

Afterwards, in front of the exclusive perspective of Kitchen No. 7, he openly wrote out his list of demands with a water-based pen in front of countless pairs of eyes.

Kitchenware required: None

Ingredients required: flour, beef, live sea bream, live flounder, bamboo shoots, cabbage, fungus, vermicelli...

Site requirements: large oil drums filled with cooking oil, burning fire scene...

"What is this?"

On the large screen inside the scene of Ju Xialou, the director gave a close-up shot of the note paper Xia An was writing on for a full minute.

In the stands, Xiang Shilin and Wu Zhuren were stunned.

Lu Zuguang, Wen Chaoqing and Tang Jinghan gathered together and whispered.

Tang Jinghan: "Wen Chaoqing, tell me, could this list really be the classic recipe handed down from generation to generation?"

Wen Chaoqing smiled bitterly:
"Just looking at the venue requirements, I couldn't tell, but when I saw the ingredients column, I was 100% sure that this was the recipe for the 'Unified Seven Kingdoms Fried Noodles' from the Asian publication!"

Lu Zuguang lost his patience and began to speak anxiously: “Why? Tell me the reason!”

Wen Chaoqing: "Now, if you search the entire Shenzhou food world, only our Yangquan Restaurant has a relatively complete version of this ancient recipe, so it is understandable that you have not studied it and do not understand it!"

Just as Wen Chaoqing was about to carefully explain the meaning of each ingredient in the recipe of "Unifying the Seven Kingdoms Fried Noodles".

There was a sudden noise of commotion inside the scene.

They were at this time.

I heard the beautiful host welcome this episode's guest:
"In addition to the regular guest lineup that has already appeared in the first two episodes."

"Two mysterious bosses have dropped in this episode! Welcome them!"

then.

On the show camera.

When the five regular guest judges came out one after another.

Then, two energetic old men walked out of the passage with a smile on their faces.

"Are these two people?"

At the Nakiri residence, old man Senzaemon suddenly spoke with emotion.

"The chef king of Hong Kong, and the former chef of Guangdong?"

Dojima Gin and Saiba Joichiro are naturally no strangers to these two veteran chefs who have been famous in the Chinese food industry for decades.

Their faces showed the surprise of seeing the reclusive idol appear.

"W-what..."

At the scene, countless audience members in the industry stood up in amazement and saluted the two elderly men.

The building was noisy for a while.

"These two people actually accept this kind of guest work?"

"That's impossible. How could Chef Lin be short of money?"

"That's right, worldly wealth can no longer impress a chef of this level!"

The contestants were in their respective kitchens, and seeing both Mr. Yang and Mr. Fan appear, they naturally couldn't remain calm.

"What a great handwriting!"

Shinomiya Kojiro took a deep breath.

“This Shenzhou food show is the right choice!”

Shiomi Jun was also very excited.

Although the size of Japan's food industry is very large compared to those small countries in Europe or Central Asia.

But who says that this area of East Asia is a monster house?

Let’s not talk about the number of top chefs.

Take Chef Lin for example.

As far as Shiomi Jun knows, there is no one except the "Food Demon King" who almost reached the end of Chef Rin, that is, the commander-in-chief of Totsuki, Senzaemon Nakiri.

It seems that there are only three other chefs named Lin in the whole of Neon.

Therefore, it is conceivable that it is a rare and precious opportunity to have the opportunity to present dishes to Chef Lin at such a close distance and give his comments on the dishes on a food show.

It’s hard to say, just a word from Chef Lin.

Shiomi Jun can solve the "problem" in his cooking concept, make a breakthrough in his cooking spirit, and be promoted to the special grade on the spot.

"We must seize this opportunity!"

The same principle applies to Chalmers.

Charme, the handsome blond Italian man, did not hide the surprise on his face at the moment.

He is from the "European International Gourmet Association". This association is indeed a giant in the European food world, but in the entire association, the only former president and current president is Chef Lin.

Ms. Nakiri Managi is only the only special executive officer and the person in charge after the two presidents-level Linchu Shen disappeared. She is far from having the absolute power level of the president.

"It's these two old guys!"

Of course, Kyo Nina couldn't help but squint slightly and looked up at the large screen above the open kitchen of the show.

The North American food scene is a broad concept.

It’s like North America is a federal system, and the fifty princes are called Jiedushi and have a high degree of autonomy.

Kyonina is from a gourmet organization called the Goku Association.

This is Jinghua, the devil who was once one of the Eight Phoenix Immortals. After escaping from the Chinese food world, his lineage settled in North America and developed into a huge force.

Therefore, with complete inheritance and influence, there are more than a dozen Lin chefs within the "Ji Association".

Although the number seems large, there are only three or four top and experienced chefs.

One of them is a half-step pseudo-dragon chef, who is Jing Nina’s grandfather.

Jing Nina's father was only a lower-ranked person who had just entered the Lin level. When he met Mr. Fan and Mr. Yang who now appeared publicly on the show, he could only lower his proud head and call them seniors.

So no matter how arrogant Kyonina is, she has great respect for these two seniors who may be able to break the boundary between Lin and Long.

She knew very well that her "extreme talent" could only allow her to reach the special grade at most, but the road of exploration after the special grade was no longer based on bloodline or talent, but on the concept and understanding of cooking.

Audiences waiting before the live broadcast.

Hearing the beautiful host read out the terrifying titles and brilliant achievements of the two airborne bosses, I was also shocked. Director Gao Shengqi had already made arrangements.

At this time, the hot search terms occupied the hot search lists of multiple platforms.

#Chef Lin shows up at the Chrysanthemum Downstairs Competition! #
#Chef Lin appears#
#Let me analyze the identities of the two chef bosses#
On domestic platforms, it quickly caused a tsunami-like movement.

Because the permissions were opened, Samira and Natalia were able to broadcast live freely on YouTube.

Witness the two Lin chefs airborne.

In their YouTube live broadcast room, various high-energy comments exploded:

"Oh my god, Chef Lin, who hasn't appeared in the Western food industry for many years, just appeared on a food show? It turns out that there are many top-grade food in the Chinese food industry, and the legend that Chef Lin is worse than a dog is true?"

"To be precise, in the European gastronomy world, Chef Lin hasn't made a public appearance in nearly ten years."

"Nonsense! If I were those chefs, I wouldn't want to stay in this small pond of Blue Star. I would definitely go out and explore the world!"

"Big brother above, can you elaborate on this?"

It’s in the exclusive shot of No. 7.

Audience fans noticed that Xia An was unexpectedly calm, and only smiled and applauded when the two airborne bosses showed up.

Then I calmly waited for time to pass.

then.

The fifteen minutes of waiting were almost consumed by the commotion caused by the two chefs.

At the end of the waiting period.

Samira and Natalia, both brought their countless external network viewers from their YouTube live broadcast studios to Xia An's Kitchen No. 7.

"Hello, Mr. Xia." Samira, a beautiful foreign woman, had a blush on her face as if she had seen an idol, and she looked like she was worshipping him. "I got the live broadcast authorization from Director Gao, so I came here to interview you."

Natalia also approached the kitchen counter and cast a curious and admiring look at Xia An:
"Mr. Xia An, do you know that you have become popular on the Internet? Many YouTube viewers in my live broadcast room call you the 'Magic Chef of China'."

Xia An was delighted to hear this:

"A magic chef from Shenzhou? No, no, there is no magic in Shenzhou. There are only some ancient skills that have been lost, and I just happened to pick them up."

Natalia took a look at the barrage of comments that were flooding the screen and selected a few interview questions:
"Then Mr. Xia An, can you tell me the truth about 'the dishes glow'?"

Xia An smiled:

"The truth? It's like using a scientific perspective to try to explain something psychological or metaphysical. There is no such thing as truth or untruth. There is only a perfect and harmonious delicacy."

Natalia pursed her lips and said:
"So your answer, your definition of 'a dish that shines' is a dish that is perfect and harmonious, a masterpiece?"

Seeing Xia An nodded undeniably.

Natalia then brought up a few more topics.

soon.

The bell rang at exactly seven o'clock in the evening, echoing inside the ancient building.

"You two, let's end the interview here."

Xia An waved goodbye to the YouTube viewers and went straight to find his agent Yang Jinli. After a few words, Yang Jinli left in a hurry and came back with a production team a short while later.

“Let’s start dismantling it!”

Yang Jinli turned into a supervisor and directed the staff to dismantle open kitchen No. 7 and move away all kitchen facilities and utensils.

In the end, only a kitchen counter with ingredients, a camera and a small screen for broadcasting remained on the stand.

The space in Kitchen No. 7 was thus vacated, and for a moment, it seemed very spacious.

???

Samira and Natalia haven't left yet.

Seeing this area become empty in such a short time, the two looked at each other in confusion.

Similarly, the audience pointed at Kitchen Area 7 and started talking about it, and there was an uproar inside the building.

studio.

The five guest judges politely welcomed the two airborne bigwigs.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Fan, I didn't expect you to come!" Chi Xiaobai was shaking his head and expressing his emotion.

"Shh!"

The two old men stared at him, signaling Chi Xiaobai not to talk to them now, let alone talk nonsense.

Uh.

Chi Xiaobai could only remain silent.

The rest of the people couldn't help laughing.

"Ahem." Liu Heng, who was of equal status, spoke up, "Now that Boss Xia has vacated the venue, and, having just looked at his list, can you two deduce Boss Xia's menu?"

"It's definitely 'Unifying the Seven Kingdoms Fried Noodles'!"

Mr. Yang said confidently: "And in this classic recipe handed down from generation to generation in the Asian magazine."

"Snapper, flounder."

"Bamboo shoots, cabbage, fungus, vermicelli."

"These six ingredients represent the six kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei and Han during the Warring States Period!"

His concise introduction made many viewers suddenly realize and have a certain understanding of the structure of this ancient recipe.

"The seventh one also represents the 'Qin State' that unified the seven countries. Where is the most critical soul hand?" Chi Xiaobai couldn't help but ask.

Obviously, Chi Xiaobai was not a senior chef from Yangquan Restaurant and had not studied ancient cookbooks.

Mr. Yang said with a smile:

"I believe that Boss Xia will present the complete ancient dish. You will naturally taste this part later. Just wait!"

Mr. Fan grumbled and pretended to be dissatisfied:

"Why did this guy change the recipe at the last minute and make 'Unifying the Seven Kingdoms Fried Noodles'?"

"Didn't you say last night that you would make a fantasy version of 'Ganges Fried Noodles' for us?"

This is a complaint or a rant.

He said it without reservation in front of the camera.

As a result, countless audiences, including several judges present, suddenly widened their eyes in surprise.

and many more!

It turns out that you two had an appointment with Boss Xia.

The reason you suddenly appeared on the show stage was to get free food and drinks?

And in the open space of Kitchen No. 7.

Another group of staff members delivered the ingredients according to Xia An's list.

As for the venue requirements, large barrels filled with oil were delivered.

And the "burning fire"...

The logistics team was even more skilled. They simply delivered the charcoal and dry firewood by truck, spread them out quickly, ignited them with solid alcohol, and turned on multiple blowers to increase the heat flow.

"Boss Xia, is this fire enough for you?"

Agent Yang Jinli came back to report.

Xia An took a look and then looked away:

"Let the production team continue to add fuel to the fire. The fire needs to burn even more. The more it burns, the better!"

Say it.

He lowered his head and chopped the whole piece of beef on the chopping board with his knife.

dong dong dong dong!

"Beef noodles are the soul ingredient in the recipe of 'Stir-fried Noodles that Unified the Seven Kingdoms' that built the 'Qin Kingdom' and swept across the six kingdoms!"

Xia An thought to himself.

From beef to sea bream, flounder and six other ingredients.

He used the Broken Army Knife and activated the Seven Star Broken Army Swift Cutting Technique, completing the process meticulously and precisely.

"The next step is... kneading the dough!"

Xia An pieced the gilded surface stick together and then proceeded to the next step without stopping.

And at close range.

Sharmila and Natalia's live streaming equipment.

Xia An's cooking activities are presented so clearly and realistically to countless external viewers on the YouTube platform.

The many doubts and sarcastic remarks that were originally mixed in the barrage disappeared in an instant.

There was only amazement left.

"Can Chinese Kung Fu be used in cooking?"

"I want to go to Shenzhou and become Mr. Xia An's disciple!"
