The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 91 The show is on! (4-in- K)

#Lost skills revealed#
#The answer in the field of pastry, the ultimate secret? #
#Boss Xia has come up with a new skill. Following the Arhat Crystal Slash, he has brought back another unique skill! #
Related hot search terms quickly appeared on the hot search lists of multiple platforms.

The rehearsal is over.

Gao Shengqi listened to the data reported by the person in charge of the program group's publicity and promotion, and smiled so hard that his mouth almost stretched to his ears:
"Look, this is the traffic and appeal of the buzzword 'Boss Xia'. Coupled with the short video of the white snake transferring the chain, how can it not dominate the hot search list of various platforms!"

The person in charge of publicity and promotion was also amazed:
"Director Gao, I think that Boss Xia's golden signboard is enough for publicity. It would be a waste of money to buy additional publicity!"

Goldman Sachs waved his hand:
"Then use all the funds to invite heavyweight judges and fill in the vacancies."

Upon hearing this, the publicity director looked strange:
"But haven't the judging panel and the replacement contestants for the next few episodes already been decided?"

Gao Shengqi was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became confused.

As a gold medal director in the industry, he has created so many variety shows and food programs behind the scenes, but this is the first time he has encountered a situation where the publicity budget has surplus funds and cannot be spent. The publicity task can be almost completed by launching only one "superstar".

Simply put, there has never been a war with so many bullets, and Goldman Sachs is no match for him.

……

And in Boss Xia’s large group of diners for communication.

This group of loyal gourmets are also discussing various issues.

[Boss Xia is causing trouble again. By the way, when will this show be broadcast live? I’m setting the alarm now! ]

[Today is a preview, the main film will be released in two days! ]

[Hey, you guys are still watching the show and live broadcast in Lijiang City, but I've already taken my annual leave and will take my wife and kids on the high-speed train to Shuzhong! ]

[Fuck, catch this scab who still has his annual leave! ]

In fact, except for the first few times the stall was opened, after "Kaihua Guoba", the gourmets in this large group did not have many privileges to enjoy the food first.

In other words, the power of the masses is very strong. Even if the group members received the news of Xia An's stall earlier, the night market was already a sea of ​​people, and these group members could not have any influence.

【Lu Jiaxin: (picture.jpg) As an outstanding member of the team, this wave of success has reached the inner part of Juxialou.】

[Xinbao, how can this allow you to take so many photos with famous chefs? ]

[I saw Liu Shimeng, the little genius of the Liu family in Shuzhong. She is so cute and I want to rub her~]

[Sun Qidong: @路嘉馨, can you give me a hint, what dishes will Boss Xia present on the live show in two days? ]

[Also concerned about what new activities there are! ]

[This time they have come up with a white snake chain, I think it is definitely a noodle dish! ]

[Have you not watched the series of short videos of the Douyin official account of "The Chrysanthemum Downstairs Competition"? The theme of the first round of the competition has been revealed, which is "Noodles"! ]

[Lu Jiaxin: It is a brand new ancient dish, and it is closely related to Liu's and Juxialou. You can wait for the program to be officially broadcast on time! ]

……

Doodle.

In the Diaoyu State Guesthouse.

Lu Zuguang unexpectedly received a call from his grandfather.

"Hello, Grandpa?"

"That young man reproduced the White Snake Chain. Did you know that he was practicing this unique skill?"

Hearing this, Lu Zuguang's face still showed disbelief, and he replied helplessly:
"I really didn't know that Boss Xia was still secretly practicing the White Snake Chain. I visited him many times, but I never saw him practicing."

The old man on the phone was quite surprised:
"This is impossible!"

"To master such a high-level skill, you need to practice hard for more than ten or twenty years before you can even get started!"

Lu Zuguang was silent for a long time before he slowly said:
“I have the same question.”

"If Boss Xia had already mastered the White Snake Chain, why didn't he show it during the food battle with Xiang Shilin?"

"You know, whether it's flame dumplings or flame soup dumplings, the dough is an extremely important part. If it's blessed by the White Snake Transformation Chain, Boss Xia's dishes can even be upgraded to half-step special grade specifications!"

The state banquet master of the Lu family seemed to be choked.

After a long, long time, I said uncertainly:
"Maybe Xiang Shilin is too weak? Not enough pressure on him?"

The corners of Lu Zuguang's mouth twitched and he opened his mouth.

But I found that I couldn't refute it.

Ah yes.

Does it seem like this?

Just competing in the utilization rate of fantasy ingredients, Xiang Shilin has already lost, and this is not even the time to compete in other aspects!

Far away in a hotel in Lijiang City, Xiang Shilin was also discussing the White Snake chain transfer with Wu Zhu.

He sneezed hard, rubbed his nose and muttered.

Who is behind the plot between labor and capital?
"Are you really going to Shu?" Xiang Shilin asked Wu Zhu.

"Go ahead. Even if we don't have the connections to get tickets for Juxialou, didn't Boss Xia say that we'll set up a stall at the Jinguancheng Night Market after the show?"

Wu Zhu's voice was firm: "And it's a new ancient dish, so I have to move the battlefield and head to Jinguan City now!"

Xiang Shilin said: "Then I'll go too!"

Wu Zhu: “???”

"Why are you so attentive? You are a North American chef, why don't you go home?"

Xiang Shilin chuckled and said, "What are you going to do when you go back? There's nothing fun to watch."

"Let me tell you, the Little Beijing in North America may also set out to visit the Chinese food world, which will be even more fun!"

Wu Zhu felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.

Little Beijing?
The reason he dared to use this nickname was to compare himself to the "Devil of Trouble" Jinghua among the Eight Immortals of Phoenix in the past.

And it seems to be recognized by the descendants of Tai Chi cuisine in North America.

It was obvious that the cooking talent of this "Little Jinghua", even if not as good as that of the ancestor of the Phoenix Eight Immortals, should not be too bad.

"I remembered, is this little Jinghua the little female devil who has always been rumored to have mastered the ultimate fire in the circle of descendants of Tai Chi cuisine?"

Wu Zhu suddenly exclaimed.

"Hey, you just reacted?" Xiang Shilin's tone was filled with an inexplicable fear, "Extreme realm skills, breaking through the limits of mortals!"

"It is said that she has been studying the unique skills of her ancestors, the Phoenix Eight Immortals. If she succeeds in her studies, she will definitely be a top-notch one!"

……

The internet is buzzing with excitement.

It has nothing to do with Xia An.

The rehearsal ended and we returned to the hotel.

Xia An immediately asked for a private kitchen and continued to stay in the kitchen to develop the "Catfish Noodles" dish.

"Dong dong!"

The hotel waiter rang the doorbell, and the voice came in through the smart door lock: "Chef Xia, the ingredients you ordered have just been delivered by a specialist from the Late Night Cooking Association."

Xia An, who was reviewing the process and details of the dish during the rehearsal, woke up, his brows relaxed and he said:
"Please come in."

So the hotel waiter unlocked the door and asked the association's transportation specialist to push a box of fresh seafood into the kitchen on a small cart.

They turned around, closed the door and left quietly.

Xia An opened the special live transport tank with an oxygenator and saw two fish swimming inside. A smile appeared on his face:
"Striped salmon!"

He felt that the original version of "Catfish Noodles" reproduced on the live show was a little lacking in power.

What's more, even without imagining the ingredients, the "Catfish Noodles" he wanted to recreate was not Liu Maoxing's original version.

So, since we are determined not to copy the original recipe, we must bring out the power of our perfect pastry-making skills and the golden special skill, the White Snake Chain.

So why not continue to offer fantasy ingredients?

After the red pork, the fish meat and claws of the lobster fish.

The point is!
After successfully integrating "Crab Pig" into the ancient dish of flame dumplings and developing flame soup dumplings, Xia An gradually gained confidence.

Today, he has become a top nine-star chef who has mastered the four basic skills.

Isn’t it easy to master and use bronze-level fantasy ingredients?
"Also, my level of completion/reproduction of the recipe for Catfish Noodles seems to be only 60%, but if I follow Liu Maoxing's original recipe and practice for a few more days, it won't be difficult to reach 80%."

Xia An pondered.

This is also the obvious improvement in learning ability after the cooking skills are improved to nine stars.

When my cooking skills were at a low level, any recipe I learned felt difficult, my basic skills were not good here, and my level was poor there.

Therefore, with the improvement of cooking skills, the efficiency of reproducing and reproducing ancient dishes, even purple-quality recipes, is obviously much faster than before. Anyway, Xia An was very happy to develop "Catfish Noodles" this time, the recovery power of the nine-star cooking master!
After a change of thought.

Xia An caught a live [striped salmon] from the water tank, and suddenly thought of the seasoning fish sauce.

If I use fantasy fish products to make fish sauce, will I get a bottle of "fantasy-grade fish sauce" that can be used many times?
Tsk tsk, fantasy seasoning!

If you use it accidentally in cooking, the flavor-enhancing effect it produces will be a sure win.

But making fish sauce takes a long time.

Even though Xia An had this idea, he couldn't catch up with the first episode of the show.

It is urgent!
It is to understand the food characteristics of [Striped Salmon]!
See if this fantasy fish is suitable for pounding into fish paste and making fish noodles, or for using it as a substitute for red sea bream in making fish soup.

beep-

Xia An just put the [Striped Salmon] on the chopping board and was about to kill the fish.

Weixin will pop up a call request.

After connecting.

It was actually the voice of the mother, Nakiri Managi: "I have already arrived in Shu, and I am looking forward to the dishes you will present on the show in two days."

There was obviously a secretary standing next to Nakiri Managi, who quickly and clearly translated this sentence.

Xia An groaned, "Ms. Nakiri, are you going to be the guest mentor of the show?"

"you guessed right."

Said Nakiri Masaki.

What else can Xia An say? With her status as a "special executive", she can be a mentor or guest on any domestic food variety show, and the program team is eager for her to bring traffic and attention.

what.

Xia An thought of herself as the boss of the Europa International Gourmet Association. Who knows, with the fantasy ingredients channel in her hands, maybe the list of bronze ingredients in her hands is richer than that of the Late Night Cooks Association?

"Ms. Nakiri, it's like this. I'm planning to develop a new fantasy dish, and I need a fantasy fishery ingredient." Xia An made the request.

Unexpectedly, the woman on the other side, Nakiri Managi, answered straightforwardly:
"Later, my secretary will use my WeChat ID to select the fantasy ingredients and fish products that are in stock and can be delivered within two days, and make a table and send it to you."

"Just ask for anything you need."

Xia An: ? ?

Look, what a rich woman is, auntie, please protect me!
This network of contacts finally came in handy at this time.

The secretary was very efficient. Within a few minutes, a form was sent over:
"Jelly fish, nut saury."

"Shark crocodile, boneless saury."

"Winter eel, lychee sturgeon."

"Taro eel, simple sardines."

After watching this, Xia An fell silent.

The food resources controlled by the European International Gourmet Association were beyond his imagination.

After all, it is one of the overlords of the food world in the bulk European continent, and the domestic Late Night Cooking Association is obviously not the overlord of the Chinese food world, but only exists as a mini "dark cooking world".

After carefully reading the illustrations of each ingredient, Xia An came to the conclusion:

All are bronze or silver level.

That is green or blue!

Obviously, purple-gold grade fantasy ingredients are also rare resources in the overlord of the European food world.

"No gold-level fish?" Xia An sent a message on Weixin to ask tentatively.

"Lord Nakiri said that if you are willing to join our association, you, Chef Xia, can freely use gold-level ingredients and higher-level resources!"

The secretary replied with the authority of Nakiri Masaaki.

"never mind."

Xia Anke has no intention of working for others.

He is a free night market stall owner, and no one, no matter how powerful you are, can expect him to cook for one person.

Read for half a day.

Xia An selected a kind of fantasy fish that was most suitable for making soup.

"Let's try and see if it's too late."

"What if we could serve up a fantastic combination of fantasy fishery + fantasy fishery on the show?"

……

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

The first episode of "The Chrysanthemum Goes Down the Hall Competition" was officially launched on the same day.

In the afternoon, six o'clock.

Xia An took a car to the Juxialou Garden.

He was carrying a large box in one hand, which contained the alloy pastry stick that he would need later.

As for the two fantasy fisheries.

All of them will be submitted to the program team one day in advance for review and safekeeping.

"Boss Xia, come on!"

When getting off the car, Lu Jiaxin and Su Yan cheered him on:

"We are in the audience seats inside the Chrysanthemum Building, cheering for you!"

Watch Xia An walk onto the red carpet.

Click.

Su Yan, a working photographer, quickly took pictures and short videos, logged into Xia An's Douyin official account, quickly edited the new work, and added the battle song BGM:

"First time competing in a food variety show, who is the opponent?"

As soon as the short video was released, the number of views, replies and likes exploded.

[Already waiting, waiting for the show to start at 8 o'clock! ]

[I just want to see with my own eyes what the White Snake Chain looks like in the live broadcast...]

[Tonight, three shows collide with each other, all of them are broadcast during prime time! ]

[The "Nine-Star Chef" show in Shanghai is already in the finals, while Guangzhou's "Who is the Leader of Yangquan Restaurant" is the crucial 8-to-4 elimination round.]

[Why do I feel that the first episode of "The Chrysanthemum Goes Downstairs" will become a huge hit? 】

[Be more confident, your feeling is correct, now Boss Xia is the most useful traffic king bomber in the entire network! ]

……

Inside the chrysanthemum building.

Lobby.

As soon as Xia An stepped into the door, he noticed that today's atmosphere was much more solemn than the rehearsal two days ago.

Soon after, all seven starting celebrity chefs were in place.

The makeup team was busy shuttling between seven kitchens, tidying up the celebrity chefs' images. First of all, they were not allowed to use too much foundation, and hair wax and styling spray with strong odors were also prohibited.

As for clothing, Xia An wore a full black chef outfit with a black apron around his waist. The upper body was a very classic and fashionable chef uniform with a round collar, two rows of silver buttons, and wide cuffs to facilitate cooking.

Of course, the clothes are not pure black. There are brand logos of the program sponsors on the shoulders, arms, and chest.

"Chefs, please come to the center of the hall."

Director Gao Shengqi's voice spread throughout the first floor through the loudspeakers.

So, one by one, the famous chefs left their open kitchens and stood in a row in the open space in the middle of the hall on the first floor.

"Director Gao, it's almost time."

There was a prompt coming from the headset.

Gao Shengqi nodded and made an OK gesture to the dignified and beautiful host next to him.

"Start broadcast——"
