The back kitchen of a five-star hotel is very large, with nearly a hundred stoves alone. The chefs, second cooks, third cooks, and handymen in each case perform their duties in an orderly manner, just like a well-trained army. A long command came down, like an arm using fingers, the order was strict.

When guests come to the kitchen, they either praise the food for being well-cooked, or they are real gourmets who have something wrong with their food and want to talk to them. Such gourmets are considered to be on the road and know how to save face for the chef. If they meet someone who directly slaps him in the face, call the chef. Go to the hall and ridicule him. If the chef can't convince the guests, he will have to consider packing up his bed and moving to another place to eat.

This is the unwritten rule in the food world.

Although Zhou Yi was a guest in the lobby, he spent over 10,000 yuan, so he took the initiative to ask to come to the kitchen, and the waiter could only lead the way. When he arrived in the kitchen, he notified Kong Jie as soon as possible.

"Sir, is there something wrong with the food?"

Kong Jie is a tall, thin, middle-aged man with an elegant temperament. He doesn't look like a cook at all. It's more like saying he is a county-level cadre. The Kong family has been full of Confucian scholars since ancient times, and they are heirs of saints. , that’s different.

"Haha, Mr. Kong is the direct descendant of Shandong cuisine, so of course the food is good."

Zhou Yi smiled and took out the letter of introduction from Yunshui Village: "My surname is Zhou. I am the resident doctor at Yunshui Nursing Home in Yunshui Village. This time I am here to pick up Mr. Kong. Mr. Kong, please don't misunderstand. Originally, it was the village chief and secretary who asked I came to pick you up in person, but they have to report to the town temporarily, and I just have to come to Chudu again..."

"Is it because of the long table banquet? I'm very sorry for Dr. Zhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Yunshui Village..."

Kong Jie let Zhou Yi into his office, took out a thick envelope and handed it to Zhou Yi: "I'm sorry, Secretary Li from Yunshui Village once helped me find a lot of fresh, natural ingredients. We are all good friends, so this This time I agreed to represent Yunshui Village in the long-table banquet cooking competition, but now the situation has changed, and I can only feel ashamed of my old friend. Doctor Zhou, here is 60,000 yuan, which is double the refund of my deposit. Please help me pass it on to Secretary Li, and I, Kong Jie, will come to apologize another day."

"Chef Kong, there's a long table banquet in two days. I'm afraid it's not very righteous of you to say you can't go at this time, right?"

Zhou Yiyi frowned. Living in Yunshui Village these days, he had vaguely regarded himself as a member of the village. Now when he heard that Kong Jie actually released the pigeons of Yunshui Village, he naturally felt unhappy.

"I'm really sorry... I just found out that Liulilouzi Village actually invited my senior brother to take action."

Kong Jie smiled bitterly and said: "The sect strictly prohibits internal fighting among disciples. As the senior brother, not only can I not help Yunshui Village compete, but I even have to help my senior brother. Doctor Zhou, you are not an expert, so you won't understand... ..."

"Since you insist on doing so, fine."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "I can understand Chef Kong's difficulties, but don't blame us Yunshui Village for beating your senior brother at the long table banquet. Haha, is Shandong cuisine directly related? It may not be the best in the world!"

After saying the next sentence, Zhou Yi turned around and walked out of the kitchen. He called Li Yuanfang immediately and explained what happened to Kong Jie.

As expected by Zhou Yi, Li Yuanfang was furious. The farmers were scolding, which is really powerful. I guess Kong Jie would never have to plan to get ecological pork, wild fish and wild tortoise from Yunshui Village in his life.

"Brother Yuanfang, don't be anxious. If Kong Jie doesn't go, wouldn't Master Hong still be there..."

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "I think Master Hong's craftsmanship is not bad, and now that things have happened, it is impossible to find a chef."

"That's all we can do... Hey, this time I have made Liulilouzi Village proud again. Brother, I am not willing to accept it."

Li Yuanfang obviously didn't have much confidence in Master Hong, so he sighed and said: "I still want to thank you, Brother Zhou. When will you come back? I have already called a few boys in the village to help you clean up the three acres of land, and then went up I picked up some chicken manure, bird manure, etc., and it will definitely be ready to use in ten days and a half."

"I'll go back tomorrow. I brought two friends over this time. I want to see the grand occasion of the long table banquet." Zhou Yi said with a smile: "One of them was there last time. Brother Yuanfang, you should know him. "

"Is it Section Chief Zhu? Welcome. Our long-table banquet welcomes outside guests the most. The more people, the better. But I'm afraid you'll lose this time, and you'll be embarrassed in front of your friends. ....."

"It's hard to say whether you will win or lose. Brother Yuanfang, you don't have to be discouraged. Isn't this still a competition?"

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "I have a hunch that our Yunshui Village will definitely be the leader of the noodle banquet this time!"

***

When Zhou Yi walked into the business lounge, Zhu Xiaohua and Guan Wei were having a great time playing big dick. When she saw him walking in, Zhu Xiaohua, who had a small note on her face, finally found an excuse to run away. Throwing it away, he came over and said, "Lao San, why are you looking for Chef Kong? Do you still know him?"

"It was for the long table banquet, but something happened..."

"A long table banquet, how many villages still have cooking competitions? It's so lively!"

After listening to Zhou Yi's narration, Comrade Xiaohua's eyes lit up and he suddenly became excited. This time he had to join in the fun even on his official vacation! For him, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, he only eats for free. It's important, and 'Huahua' has been thinking about going back to Yunshui Village since she last visited it. Isn't this an opportunity?

"Lao San, this is your arrangement, right?"

Guan Wei also laughed, obviously very moved.

"Yes, didn't I rent three acres of land in Yunshui Village? Now I am half a member of the village. It is such a big deal in our village, how can we not invite our brothers to join in the fun?" Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"You kid... do you really want to take root in the countryside? Third brother, if you ask me, just play in the countryside for a few days. After all, you are different from my brothers, but a master's student from Kyoto can't do anything better than here. Strong in the countryside?"

Among the five brothers, although Zhu Xiaohua is older, no one really regards him as the eldest. Guan Wei is the eldest brother in everyone's mind. Even Guan Wei himself regards himself as the elder brother and looks after several brothers. At this moment, when he saw Zhou Yi He looked like he was just dawdling around without making any progress, so naturally he felt a little sad and couldn't help but want to say a few words to him.

"Come on, sophomore, it's useless for you to persuade lazy people like this who should have been eliminated from the revolutionary ranks long ago. If it worked, they would leave a good university lecturer and have to go to the mountains to become a doctor in a nursing home. ?”

Zhu Xiaohua was filled with bitterness and hatred: "Lao San, when are you going to leave?"

"If we don't leave today, the eldest brother will sleep with me in Dian Community. We will set off early tomorrow morning." Zhou Yi thought for a while and said, "Xiaohua, you drove here, right? Take me to the Land Rover 4S store."

"Go to the Land Rover 4S store?"

Zhu Xiaohua was stunned: "Buying a car?"

"Nonsense, I should go to the vegetable market to buy groceries. I bought the car today, and the three of us will be driving back tomorrow morning. The old car you bought last time is so bad that it almost knocked me apart."

"Lao San, did I hear you right? When people buy a car, they go to various places to compare and test drive it several months in advance. They also have to negotiate the price with acquaintances. How can you be like this? You think you are just buying cabbage. I say you

Aren’t you so lazy, are you?”

Zhu Xiaohua was heartbroken, how could this lazy guy not know how to care about money?

"That would be too much trouble, it's better to buy it quickly and enjoy it quickly..."

Zhou Yi glanced at Comrade Xiaohua with a smile: "Let's go. After buying the car, I'll treat you and the eldest brother to take a bath, and you'll treat me to the meal tonight."

"Shall I please?"

Zhu Xiaohua shivered all over and started to sweat.

Under the puzzled eyes of the girl who sold the car, Zhou Yi paid for the car and picked up the car at a speed that could have applied for the Guinness World Record, and left in a cloud of dust. After buying the car, the three brothers first went to the bathroom and had sex.

Then he called "Huahua" and had a meal of kebabs at a street stall. I had no choice but to treat Comrade Xiaohua, and it would be good to have kebabs to eat.

After breaking up with Zhu Xiaohua and his wife, Zhou Yi and Guan Wei spent the night in Xiadian Community, talking about their ideals, looking forward to the future, and recalling the girls they dated together...

Of course, Guan Wei always spoke from a high position, hated the fact that iron was not made of steel, helped the young people onto their horses and sent them off for another journey, and carried out ideological education on Zhou Yi like a fatigue bomb, which made Zhou Yi want to cry without tears, and he had to accept it if he wanted to refuse... In the end, he could only protest with snoring, and Guan Wei had to ring the bell for the end of get out of class in his ideological education class.

Dude, I just want to live the life I want. Is it easy?

Zhou Yi in the dream felt quite aggrieved, like a little girl who had just been scolded...
