The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 87 The Ancient Greek God in charge of the night market is here! (Subscribe)
Not all the media reporters were carrying filming equipment. After all, there are many media portals nowadays, such as Weibo and Douyin. There are many big Vs and internet celebrities with millions of fans on the scene.

They gathered together and whispered.

“Has the seventh celebrity chef in the starting lineup arrived?”

"Who is the one!"

"Today is the preview day and also the media meeting day. The first six chefs are all heavyweights, and this seventh one won't be any worse!"

"But to be honest, these celebrity chefs are not that different from Shanghai's Nine-Star Celebrity Chefs and Guangzhou's Who is the Leader of Yangquan Restaurant?"

"Queshi, making a new food show now is like a fierce battle. Even with the support of the official power of Jinguan City and the famous Juxialou, it may not be successful. I think there is a high probability that you will die violently..."

When Xia An and his group got off the bus.

Standing on the red carpet.

Then I saw the program director Gao Shengqi and Director Li of the Shu Culture and Tourism Bureau personally welcoming us.

The crowd in the small square suddenly became quiet.

"Boss Xia, please——"

The two invited Xia An to walk the red carpet and officially appear in front of the media reporters.

I don’t know which girl made the high-pitched scream.

The media crowd just exploded.

"It's the Night Market Master, Boss Xia!"

"The ancient Greek god who is in charge of the night market, this man is here!"

"Director Gao and Ju Xialou are great. They actually invited this god-like person? He has been very popular on Douyin recently and is famous all over the country!"

There are some guest seats on the stage built in the square.

The six celebrity chefs who arrived before Xia An in the starting lineup had already taken their seats, and the media crowd at the scene was bursting with excitement. As opponents who were going to compete with Xia An on the same stage, their feelings were even more complicated and explosive.

"Xia...Boss Xia?!"

Among the six debut chefs, a girl in her early twenties stood up in surprise.

The cry that came out of her mouth and the excitement that was not concealed on her pretty face.

It's exactly the performance of a die-hard fan.

Seeing this, the other five famous chefs turned their heads away, their faces twitching slightly.

Pretend not to know her.

"Cough cough!"

"Chef Liu, please be more reserved!"

Next to the girl sat an "agent" assigned to her by the program team.

These agents are all young hosts of local TV stations.

She pulled Liu Shimeng to sit down and said helplessly, "Can you meet your idol in private later? This is a media meeting!"

Xia An also saw the girl, who stared at him with her big eyes, very aggressively.

? ?
Who is this?

Xia An glanced past her and looked at the other five people.

Wow, I see a familiar face at first sight!
The young man with flashy pink hair and a classic neon handsome hairstyle.

Isn't it the famous graduate of the 79th class of Totsuki, Shinomiya Kojiro?

"It seems that Director Gao really listened to my advice and invited famous chefs from abroad, which raised the temperature of the program!"

Xia An became more interested in this show.

It is more interesting to have a strong opponent.

then.

Xia An was met with a pair of curious gazes from a pair of blond handsome guys.

"Hello, Mr. Xia." The blond handsome guy was sitting next to Xia An. When Xia An went over to sit down, he stood up and bowed slightly. "My name is Chalmers, the second-class executive of the Europa International Gourmet Association."

"Hello, hello. You speak fluent Chinese. Did Ms. Nakiri ask you to participate in the competition?" Xia An asked after sitting down.

"Yes."

The blond handsome guy named Chalmers smiled and said, "I defeated many nine-star chefs in the association to get this qualification."

There were still three nine-star chefs left, and Xia An nodded to them as a greeting.

These nine stars, plus Xia An and Liu Shimeng.

There are five famous chefs in the country.

Famous chefs from abroad include Chalmers and Kojiro Shinomiya.

“Maybe the starting lineup is more cautious, and the number of foreign celebrity chefs is controlled?”

Xia An's thoughts turned.

"There are rules for replacements, or there may be a surprise attack system, and other famous foreign chefs may be replaced later."

The following media meeting was nothing more than an interview.

In order of precedence.

Xia An came last and was the seventh to speak.

"Hello, Mr. Xia. I'm a reporter from the Land of Abundance Food Station. May I ask if you have any plans to set up a stall at the night market during your visit to Shu?"

When Xia An got the microphone, the first reporter who raised his hand to ask a question asked a very explosive question, which drew cheers from the audience.

Xia An smiled slightly and said:

"Hello, reporter. We do have a plan, but we need to discuss the details with Director Li before deciding."

The reporter was about to speak but was stopped by the host. "Each person can only ask one question."

"Next person!"

"Excuse me, Boss Xia, if you open a night market stall in Jinguan City, will you continue to sell the fantasy dish "Flame Dumplings" or do you have other ideas?"

Xia An also did not intend to hide it: "I will reproduce brand new ancient dishes, diners in Jinguan City, please look forward to it!"

Suddenly, the whole place was in an uproar.

Even the faces of several famous chefs participating in the competition around Xia An changed.

Following Liebing Fresh Tai Shan, Kaihua Guoba, and Flame Dumplings.

Oh my god!
This ancient Greek god was in charge of the night market.

Are we going to bring back a fourth ancient dish again?

Then, the atmosphere of the question-and-answer session went awry. The reporters then asked questions around this topic, and Xia An patiently explained each question.

But Xia An remained tight-lipped about what the ancient recipes and dishes were. He only said one sentence:

"Everyone will know about it the night we open the night market stall!"

then.

The celebrity chef interview session ended with excited discussions from all parties.

Of course, this live interview has also been compiled by editors of many food media into various eye-catching headlines, which have been posted on Weibo, Douyin, and WeChat public accounts and video stations.

《Shock! Boss Xia shows up at Juxialou! 》

"The ancient Greek god who was in charge of the night market has gloriously come to the land of abundance!"

"Millions of Tianfu diners are in luck. Come and click to receive your dream dishes..."

Titles like these quickly attracted a lot of attention and clicks on the Internet.

And the internet was soon flooded with heated discussions.

Gao Shengqi, who had already received a report from his assistant on the popularity of the online promotion, had a beaming smile on his elegant face.

Check it out!

This is the ancient Greek god in charge of the night market. This man has such a hot appeal!
Not to mention visiting him three times, he would be willing to kneel naked at Boss Xia's door in the snow... Bah, no, that necessary moment has not come yet!

Gao Shengqi was in a good mood and smiling as he led the seven celebrity chef contestants to the interior of the Juxialou, which had been expanded repeatedly.

The lobby on the first floor, which was originally used to entertain guests, had been vacated of all furniture including tables, chairs and screens, and seven open kitchens were neatly set up.

As for the several-story interior after the expansion, it is like a venue, rising higher and higher.

There are not that many seats in the auditorium, and it can accommodate a few hundred or a thousand people at most. But because the program is broadcast online, the audience does not have voting rights or anything. It is more like a pure atmosphere group to embellish the venue and does not need too many people.

Xia An's kitchen is located near the window.

He found his business card and confirmed that this was his kitchen. Then he looked out through the antique window at the Chinese garden outside and said with a sigh:

"This is the real Juxialou. Compared with the one in the story, the years have passed and it is no longer the same as it used to be."

But not surprising either.

In fact, according to the setting, Juxialou has always been "state-owned".

Fairy Bei and the later Liu family were more like operators who left a deep imprint through generations.

"Yes, I heard from my father that the Juxialou building was very small decades ago."

Xia An's agent in this program is a sweet and lovely young lady named Yang Jinli. She has just graduated from college, but she was able to squeeze into this new popular program. It seems that her family is either rich or noble.

"At that time, the building was only two stories high and the yard was very small. It was nothing like the magnificent garden it is today!"

Yang Jinli echoed Xia An's sentiments.

A pair of big, expressive eyes stared straight at Xia An:

"Boss Xia, we're about to start the trial broadcast and preview. Can you please give us a little hint? What big moves have you prepared for the theme of "Noodles" in the first episode?"

Her petite and delicate face is full of curiosity. I have to say that Yang Jinli's acting skills are very good.

That's right.

From the moment the group of people moved to the interior of the Chrysanthemum Building, the test broadcast and rehearsal had actually begun.

In this segment, in the script that Gao Shengqi gave to Xia An, he didn't need to memorize any lines. He just needed to know how the segments and processes were carried out, and he could express the rest freely.

Hearing this, Xia An smiled slowly and said:

"Ultimate move?"

"The ultimate move... is the catfish!"

"Koi, can you ask the logistics team if they have any clean catfish ingredients?"

Compare to those singer programs.

In food and cooking competition programs, "agents" like Yang Jinli do the work of kitchen helpers and assistants.

"Koi?"

The corners of Yang Jinli's eyes and mouth were twitching:
"Hey, Boss Xia, it's Jinli, not Koi!"

"Yeah, koi!"

“…Forget it!”

Yang Jinli went to negotiate with the logistics team angrily. The live camera of the program team captured this scene very well and the signal was fed back to the main control console.

"Director Gao, the signals from the units in all areas are normal."

"Then start the live stress test, open the streaming port, and let the online audience in!"

"Okay, the number of people receiving live broadcasts has skyrocketed..."
