Chapter 157 Food Exchange Competition ([-])

Lan Weihao pursed his lips, and said slowly, "Boss Bai, I would like to invite you and my partner to participate in the food exchange competition held by our company."

Bai Xiaobai didn't know what was going on, so he was confused on the spot, why did he invite himself to participate in his company's food exchange competition...

Lan Weihao saw Bai Xiaobai's doubts, and explained, "Boss Bai, this is not an official food competition, it's just a food exchange competition between the company I work for and Haochuang Hotel, and I have already passed the preliminaries , because the finals need to find someone other than the company to cooperate with them to complete, so I thought of you."

It turned out that this was the case. When Bai Xiaobai heard it, he finally understood the ins and outs of Lan Weihao's invitation to participate.

But speaking of it, the rules of this food exchange competition are indeed a bit strange. The preliminary round is for one person to participate, but the final requires a pair of partners to participate.

I don't know what's the meaning of doing so.

Seeing that Bai Xiaobai was silent, Lan Weihao continued to introduce:
"Boss Bai, the reward for the first prize in this food exchange competition is 5000 yuan and the 'Good Cook Staff Award'. If you and my partner win the prize, I don't want a cent of the money. I just want the 'Good Cook Staff Award'." It's ok. Besides, there will be many judges and citizens watching this competition, so as long as you participate in it, even if you don't win an award, you will still get a lot of attention, which is good for you, Boss Bai, and not bad."

Lan Weihao's words are very tempting.

Frankly speaking, Bai Xiaobai doesn't like participating in food competitions very much, he just wants to open a restaurant and cook food to make money quietly.

But he also understood a truth.

I have been nesting in this remote street corner, relying on word of mouth alone, the growth of the store's reputation has always been limited.

Bai Xiaobai is a person with lofty aspirations, restless in one corner, he hopes to build his own gourmet empire and become a true gourmet chef by virtue of the gourmet system and his continuous efforts.

And this food exchange competition may be an important starting point for increasing fame.

Bai Xiaobai calmed down and asked Lan Weihao casually, "Mr. Lan, do you have any requirements and restrictions on the food in your company's food exchange competition?"

Lan Weihao snorted the sweat off his face, and said, "Actually, there are no rules. The final of the food exchange competition requires participating employees and their own partners to work together and cook a delicacy independently. , and then the judges will score. A group with the highest score formed by superimposing the scores of two people can win the first prize of 5000 yuan and the "Good Cooking Staff Award".

Lan Weihao then explained some details of the food exchange competition.

Bai Xiaobai simply sat on the side and listened very carefully.

Mr. Peng, the owner of Huisheng Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. where Lan Weihao works, is a senior foodie. Because he loves food, he will hold food exchange competitions with Haochuang Hotel from time to time every summer.

This food exchange competition is not only to enrich the spare time life of the company's employees, but also a stepping stone for the promotion of internal talents of Wison Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.

To put it bluntly, Mr. Peng loves food in private, so he loves his house and crows, and he pays special attention to employees who are good at cooking.

Under the same working ability, employees with good cooking skills are often more likely to be favored by him, and the chances of promotion are naturally much higher than ordinary employees.

For this reason, many employees of Wison Company did not hesitate to squeeze their heads, eager to show off their cooking skills in front of Mr. Peng.

And the annual food exchange competition is an excellent opportunity.

Especially this year, more than 100 employees of Wison Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. signed up for the preliminaries of the food exchange competition.

After more than 100 people were screened in the qualifiers, only ten employees made it out of the encirclement and successfully entered the finals.

Lan Weihao, who has always been a good cook, is one of the lucky ones in the ten.

The final of the food exchange competition, unlike the preliminaries, has a very strange rule.

This rule requires that finalists need to find non-company employees to partner with them in the finals.

That is to say, the company's employees and their partners cook a delicacy each, and finally the judges score them separately. The group with the highest total score is the only group that won the first prize.

As for the choice of this partner, the competition system has no specific age, gender, or even occupational requirements. It only requires non-company employees. As for the choice, it depends on the wishes of the participants.

You can choose family members, friends, or strangers, as long as he is willing to help you. Of course, if you have the budget, you can also find a professional chef to partner with you.

All in all, there is no absolute fairness in this food exchange competition
In previous food exchange competitions, in order to increase the chances of winning, some Wison employees spared no expense to invite professional chef partners from big hotels in the finals, in order to be able to show off in the food exchange competition and impress Mr. Peng.

In fact, Lan Weihao also participated in two food exchange competitions held by the company, but without exception, he did not win the top three.

The reason is that the partners hired by other employees are too powerful, and some are even the head chefs of five-star hotels in Jianghai City.With this level of professional chef partner, Lan Weihao wanted to win, it was wishful thinking.

So after Lan Weihao entered the finals this year, the first and only final partner he thought of was Bai Xiaobai.

Although he hasn't been in contact with Bai Xiaobai for long, the cooking skills of this young man of his own age are really amazing.

Lan Weihao decided in his heart that as long as Boss Bai came out, he would be his partner in the final.Then this time the first prize in the food exchange competition will definitely be within reach.

In fact, Lan Weihao didn't really care about the 5000 yuan reward, what he cared about was the 'Good Cook Award'.

With this award, in addition to the year-end bonus, he can also win the favor of Mr. Peng, and his chances of promotion in the future will also be greatly increased.

It is said that if you don’t want to be a general, you are not a good soldier. Like ordinary office workers, Lan Weihao hopes to work hard to climb to the top of the company. This food exchange competition is an excellent opportunity to gain the attention of the company’s top management.

After a brief introduction to the food exchange competition, Lan Weihao said frankly:

"Boss Bai, the food exchange competition is probably like this. You can think about it first. You don't have to reply me so quickly. Anyway, I will patronize your store every day. After you think about it in the past two days, give me an accurate word. If you really don't participate, I'll find someone else to partner with."

"Boss Lan, how about this, I'll think about it first. I'll give you an answer tomorrow." Bai Xiaobai is not a hotheaded person, he is very calm.

After all, this matter involves a gourmet competition, and he has to think about it for a while.

"Okay, Boss Bai, then I'll wait for your reply." After Lan Weihao finished speaking, his mouth was a little dry, and he immediately ordered a cup of secret sour plum soup to quench his thirst.

After finishing his drink, Lan Weihao didn't sit still for long, picked up his briefcase, and left in a hurry.

In fact, Lan Weihao came over to negotiate with Bai Xiaobai after finishing the interview with the client.

Because he asked Boss Bai to participate in this competition for no reason, he was worried at first that he would be rejected on the spot.

Now it seems that although Boss Bai didn't immediately agree to participate in the competition, at least he didn't refuse.

This shows that there are still opportunities, Lan Weihao thought so.

On the other hand, because it's not yet open for meals, Xiaobai's restaurant is very empty.

After Lan Weihao left, Bai Xiaobai went back to the kitchen, took two cucumbers, washed one and gnawed it directly, and after washing the other, he planned to use a carving knife to do the lettering practice of "Supernatural Carving".

In fact, Bai Xiaobai already has a preliminary intention about Lan Weihao's invitation to participate.
