the other side.

As the only "special executive" of the Europa International Gourmet Association, Nakiri Masaki received a call from Gao Shengqi himself:

"Let the top nine stars of our Gourmet Association participate in the first season of the show 'Chrysanthemum Downstairs Competition'?"

Nakiri Masaki was about to refuse.

I heard Gao Shengqi say on the phone:
"Boss Xia will also participate as the program's starting lineup, and in two days, he will work with the program team to conduct pre-performance promotions!"

"Oh?"

Nakiri Masaki immediately became interested.

The European International Gastronomy Association, which she governs, also has a very authoritative program or competition in the European gastronomy world, called "THE BLUE Cooking Championship."

But when establishing this competition, Nakiri Managi did not have any complicated ideas. She simply wanted to explore the culinary world and find extremely rare dishes on the Blue Planet.

"THE BLUE Cooking Championship" has been held for so many sessions, but it has never selected a chef like Xia An, who captured Nakiri Managi's divine tongue and made her feel that she could never leave him.

After hanging up the phone, Nakiri Masagi made a special international call to instruct her confidant named An, who was far away at the association's headquarters and handled daily affairs for her.

“An, you select two outstanding second-class executives to come to the Shenzhou Gourmet World.”

The second-class executive officer corresponds to the top nine-star chef within the association.

And her confidant named An is a first-class executive officer, corresponding to the special grade.

"Yes, Master Nakiri."

……

Xia An has packed his luggage and booked a flight to Shuzhong.

The day after tomorrow, after the seven first-time celebrity chefs of the program team have gathered, there will be a round of rehearsals and previews. Since Xia An has agreed to participate, he will not act like a big shot and will not be absent from the necessary procedures.

"Master, we will return to Neon next week."

Alice smiled and said, "You must come back as soon as possible, and don't linger in Shu."

Next week, at the end of August, it’s almost time for school to start in September.

The three female disciples, Alice, Erina and Miyoko, are all going back to Totsuki Academy.

"Don't worry, I will rush back to Lijiang City as soon as the live show is over." Xia An said with a smile, "I will personally take you to the airport for ticket inspection."

"father!"

Lan Xiaoxi grabbed Xia An's trouser legs, tears welling up in her big eyes: "You must come back soon, or Mom will take Xixi away and send her back to Shanghai to go to school!"

Xia An was also reluctant to part with his cute daughter, so he picked her up and said jokingly:

"Then I will discuss with your mother and let you go to kindergarten in Lijiang City, okay?"

The little girl nodded hurriedly, and immediately stopped crying. She cheered happily:

"Yeah, I want to be with Daddy!"

"Anyway, in the Magic City, my mom won't play with me!"

After comforting his daughter, Xia An stopped dawdling, waved his hand, and took an online taxi away.

at the airport.

Xia An meets Su Yan and Lu Jiaxin.

Now, they are a team. According to Lu Jiaxin, Xia An is the soul of the Douyin team. Wherever he is, the team members are there.

……

Shu land.

Jinguan City.

Look at the red wet place and spend a lot of money in the official city.

This line of poetry by the great poet Du Fu is about the capital of the Land of Abundance.

Gao Shengqi has already received Xia An's flight information. Even though he is very busy, he plans to take some time out to go to Tianfu Airport to pick him up in person.

However, just as he got in the car, his cell phone started to ring.

Caller ID:

Tianfu Culture and Tourism Bureau, Director Li.

"Hello, Director Li." Gao Shengqi answered the phone in a polite tone.

Unexpectedly, the Director Li who called this time, who was considered their direct superior in this industry, spoke even more politely than Gao Shengqi.

Even a little bit flattering:

"Director Gao, I heard that your production team successfully summoned the Boss Xia who has recently become popular all over the country on Douyin?"

Gao Shengqi was extremely proud.

Check it out.

He invited the great boss Xia to Shu.

It's definitely a nuclear bomb effect.

Look, the program hasn’t even started its official promotion yet, but Director Li heard the news from somewhere and rushed over to take advantage of the popularity.

"Director Li, what do you mean?" Gao Shengqi asked with a malicious look, even though he knew the answer.

Director Li on the other side immediately became anxious:

"Hey, hey!"

"Director Gao, it's a rare opportunity to invite this great artist to Jinguan City. Shouldn't we let him go out a few times to promote the lively night market atmosphere of our land of abundance?" Gao Shengqi knew when to stop. If he really angered his direct superior, he would definitely make things difficult for him and the program crew.

"I'm on my way to pick up Boss Xia now."

"Director Li, are you coming here too?"

"We should discuss this matter with Boss Xia in person."

Upon hearing this, the sound of a chair being moved immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Now? Which airport?!"

“Tianfu Airport.”

"it is good!"

……

Xia An and his group just picked up their luggage and arrived at the terminal.

I saw Gao Shengqi and a middle-aged man holding signs to greet us at the airport.

"Boss Xia, this is Director Li from the Shu Culture and Tourism Bureau." Gao Shengqi took the initiative to introduce.

Xia An shook hands with Director Li.

Director Li asked attentively, "Boss Xia, are you interested in opening a night market stall in Jinguan City?"

Calculating the time, including rehearsals and previews, as well as some publicity tasks, Xia An estimated that he would have to stay in Shu for a week.

The liver is not the liver no matter where it is.

He has no regional bias.

They are all from the Chinese food industry.

Treat diners and let them taste the ancient dishes they have always dreamed of, or popularize fantasy dishes, which are the same in any night market across the country.

"I plan to make and sell new dishes, not Kaihua rice crust, flame dumplings or Liebing fresh taishan." Xia An nodded.

Hearing this, Director Li was delighted and slapped his thigh:
"New dishes?!"

“The new dishes are great, and they’re more talked about!”

Pause.

Director Li and Gao Shengqi were both full of curiosity and looked at Xia An, whose face was calm.

"Ahem!" Director Li winked at Gao Shengqi.

Gao Shengqi's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked tentatively: "Boss Xia, what is the new dish..."

"The Great Galaxy Noodle."

???

The two looked at each other in surprise.

Blink.

After a moment, Gao Shengqi's pupils shrank slightly. "Is it... the ancient recipe created by the chef god Liu Maoxing? Is that the ancient dish "Big Galaxy Noodles"? "

Director Li was even more incredulous:
"I am from Shu, and I have heard the story of "The Great Galaxy Noodle" since I was a child!"

Afterwards, Director Li became even more attentive, and patted his chest to guarantee that the Shu Culture and Tourism Bureau would absolutely guarantee all aspects of coordination for Xia An's stall at the night market.

Xia An said: "Let's finish the rehearsal first."

Stay at the hotel arranged by Gao Shengqi.

For another two days, Xia An stayed at home and practiced the [White Snake Chain Transformation] silently. At the same time, he tried to make two ancient noodle dishes, catfish noodles and big galaxy noodles.

The day before the show preview.

A long express package was delivered from the imperial capital to the hotel where we were staying.

Before Xia An opened the package, he sent a message to Lu Zuguang on Weixin: "I have received the noodle stick. Thank you very much."

That's right.

He asked Lu Zuguang for help again and customized a pastry stick.

Chef Jie Ganggun has his own exclusive kitchen utensils.

Pastry King Logan also has it.

With these days of diligent practice, after becoming more familiar with [White Snake Chain], a dedicated pastry stick becomes very necessary.

After taking it out and trying it in his hand, Xia An was very satisfied.

This is an alloy stick with moderate length and weight. Xia An took it in his hand and tried to swing it, casting the [White Snake Chain]. It was much easier to use than the daily rolling pin he had used before.

The key is that this alloy stick can be disassembled and packed in a box, which makes it very convenient to carry when going out, and you don’t have to carry a long stick around in public.

This is important.

……

So it was the day of the show's preview.

Xia An and team members Su Yan and Lu Jiaxin came to Juxialou, a famous family in Shu.

The other six starting chefs have also arrived.

As soon as their vehicle stopped in the small square at the main entrance of Juxia Building, the media reporters who were waiting nearby became excited like sharks smelling blood.
