Although the banquet was to celebrate Bai Lan's birthday, because Wang Lin was present, everyone naturally regarded Wang Lin as the center.

The main seat was seated by Wang Lin, and it was useless for him to refuse again and again.

Bailan and Tan Yiyi sat on the left and right sides of Wang Lin respectively.

Wang Lin and Tan Yiyi talked about the TV station's new God of Food Competition. Bai Lan smiled and said, "Ms. Tan, since you have confidence in your skills, why don't you participate in the competition? It happened to make a big shot in the Shanghai food industry, and the big guys in the food industry bowed to you."

Tan Yiyi said: "Cooking competitions have a positive role in promoting the development of the cooking industry. Chefs participate in competitions and exchange cooking skills with outstanding chefs from all over the country and even countries, which is conducive to broadening their horizons and improving their own skills. In the competition, they can also win honors for individuals and their own companies, become famous in the chef industry, and enhance their own value. Through the competition, they can also make more friends with excellent cooking skills."

Wang Lin said: "It turns out that you understand the meaning of the God of Cookery Competition better than me. In recent years, various cooking competitions have been very popular. This is a good thing for chefs. During the competition, chefs from all over the country can communicate and discuss, and they can collide many things. This is very beneficial to your chef industry."

Tan Yiyi said: "Willing is of course beautiful. Cooking competitions pay more attention to the plaque and visual effects. For example, carving some shapes of dragons, phoenixes or small animals, which is naturally better. However, serving dishes in reality is very unrealistic. For example, if I carve a one-stop, it is not something that can be completed in one or two hours. When a customer enters the store, it is impossible to carve it in a carved manner, right? If you carve it in advance, if you put it in a while, the dish will deteriorate again. The only thing that can be reflected is knife skills."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "It makes sense. Any good-sounding dish does not care about carving. It is all about color, fragrance and taste. The taste is the first priority. If you put on a flower, it will not be delicious."

Tan Yiyi said: "And because of the relationship between the organizing committee and the jury, there will always be some shortcomings, and there will even be inside information. Deciding such situations inwardly will violate the original intention of the competition."

Wang Lin said: "This is an open competition, so you won't do this."

Tan Yiyi said: "Also, our Tan Family Catering has long been famous all over the world. Now we go to Shencheng to participate in a local cooking competition. If we win the first prize, those who know will say that we are a dimensional reduction attack, and those who know it later will say that we are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers. If we don't win the first prize, what is the meaning of my participation in this competition?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "If you really participate in this competition, can you firmly win the first place?"

Tan Yiyi said: "There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Who dares to win the first place in the taste of this dish? Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine chef compete on the same stage, who do you think will win the first place? If it is a competition among the eight major cuisines, who can win the first place?"

Wang Lin said: "That's hard to tell. To be honest, I've eaten all eight major cuisines and each one is good at playing. If I really want to get the first place, I really can't say."

Tan Yiyi said: "The difficulty is here. If it is to hold a cooking competition in Tanjia Cuisine in the world, then I will definitely participate. If I don't get the first place, I don't care. I have learned that this cooking competition held by Shencheng has certain shortcomings in formulating competition rules. Does the God of Cookery selected in this way really dare to claim that he is the best in the world?"

Wang Lin said: "I have eaten the food made by Comrade Zhang Nanyang, the last God of Food, and it is far inferior to your skills. This is the truth, not a compliment."

Tan Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled: "This is what you think, but if I compete with him on the same stage, the people in the jury may not think so. Nine out of ten pots and stoves are different. Although lambs are beautiful, they are difficult to mix. The dishes pay attention to the five colors, fragrance, flavor, and form. Knife, heat, and seasoning are the three core technologies of cooking. After all, food is for people to eat. Some people like to eat fine meat and fine food, some people like to drink large bowls and eat large pieces of meat, some people like the original flavor of the ingredients, and some people like the rich ingredients."

Wang Lin said: "Your words remind me of one thing. We modern people learn from Confucius, but we learn from the Analects of Confucius. We learn from what is in the Analects of Confucius. But Confucius emphasized teaching according to their aptitude. It is said that at that time, Confucius would adopt different teaching methods to treat different students. Ran Qiu was often reluctant to do things, so Confucius encouraged him to advance bravely; Zhongyou was usually brave, so Confucius made him humble. He would focus on the differences in students' hobbies and cultivate multi-directional talents. However, modern people would swallow everything and learn everything, so they would feel that Confucius' words and deeds were inconsistent, or even contradictory."

Tan Yiyi said: "Yes, that's the reason. We treat delicious food the same thing. When a person is used to Hunan cuisine, he suddenly eats light and delicious Cantonese cuisine. He will regard it as a delicious dish and thinks it is delicious. vice versa. Therefore, the judges' evaluation is too subjective."

Wang Lin said: "Since that's the case, then don't participate in this competition!"

Tan Yiyi said: "No, I have to attend."

Wang Lin was stunned and said, "After talking for a long time, why do you still have to participate?"

Tan Yiyi said: "If I don't attend, others will say I'm stage frightened when they find out, thinking that my Tan Family Cake is afraid of the cooking masters in Shencheng!"

Wang Lin laughed and said, "Why care about other people's opinions?"

Tan Yiyi said: "When we open a store and do business, we are doing competition! If there is competition, there will be a difference between high and low! Instead of waiting for others to question and kick the shop in the future, it is better to take the initiative and defeat them in the ring."

Wang Lin said: "But you said just now that no one has the confidence to win the cooking method."

Tan Yiyi said: "Even if I can't get the first place, I'm not defeated."

Wang Lin said: "What do you say?"

Tan Yiyi said: "That's what I think. If I can get the title of God of Food, our Zhuli Pavilion in Shencheng will naturally add icing on the cake."

Wang Lin nodded: "Well, that's the reason."

Tan Yiyi said: "If I lose, it will be even more interesting. I believe that the mouths of the people are the best reputation. They have eaten the dishes I cook, but after eating the so-called God of Food, they will naturally make a statement. If most people think that I, who is unfair, make dishes better than God of Food, wouldn't that be a great irony?"

Wang Lin laughed and said, "You are still very conceited!"

Tan Yiyi said: "I want to meet the famous chefs in Shencheng for a while!"

Wang Lin said: "Okay! Then I will sign up for you."

Tan Yiyi nodded.

The wine and food are coming one after another.

This is the first time Wang Lin has had a meal with people from the model team and said that everyone doesn’t have to toast my wine, but to toast my birthday.

Bai Lan quickly shook her hand and said, "I don't know how to drink. I'll do it like this. Let's have a drink together! Just drink whatever you can. Drink as much as you can."

Everyone said yes.

The dishes here did not disappoint Wang Lin and the others, and the taste was first-class.

I ate a meal for more than an hour.

It was almost time to the end that the waiter pushed the cake in.

Wang Lin gave her 1,000 yuan to buy the largest cake, and she really bought a super big cake.

The bottom layer is 20 inches and there are six layers above!

The diameter of the 20-inch cake is 50 cm. With a few layers of small cakes, it is more than enough for more than thirty people to eat.

It was the first time that people from the model team saw such a big cake. After seeing it, they let out a scream of wow, wow.

The women screamed even more: "What a big cake! So romantic! This was bought by Mr. Wang!"

Bai Lan even covered her face with her hands, and the corners of her eyes felt sore, and tears of emotion flowed out.

"Mr. Wang, thank you! This is the first time I have eaten a cake when I grow up! I can eat such a good cake when I eat it!" Bai Lan excitedly grabbed Wang Lin's hand.

The wonderful taste of the cake made everyone praise it and everyone praised it for its deliciousness.

After eating the cake, Bai Lan thought of paying the bill and quickly asked her colleagues to raise money.

Although her movements and voice were very quiet, Wang Lin still heard them.

"Bai Lan!" Wang Lin waved to her and said with a smile, "Don't be busy. You have already bought the order."

"Ah?" Bai Lan said in surprise, "Mr. Wang, did you buy it? Did I not see you get up? When did you buy the order?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "When we came in, I told my driver to ask him to buy the order."

Bailan could no longer hold back, and two lines of hot tears fell down instantly.

"Mr. Wang! Why are you so embarrassed?" Bai Lan said even more, "What about so much money!"

Wang Lin said: "What a big deal? Is it worth crying? I'm very happy to invite me on your birthday. Of course, I'm here for a small matter like paying bill. You won't look down on me and want to return the money to me, right?"

Bai Lan burst out laughing: "I know Mr. Wang has money and doesn't care about this little money. But for us, this is a huge sum of money."

Wang Lin said: "Okay, let's go?"

Bai Lan said: "Mr. Wang, we will go to the dance hall to play in the evening. You must go there, and I must pay the bill."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Okay! You can arrange the next thing!"

Bai Lan smiled sweetly, and there was a drop of crystal tears on her face!

When he arrived at the place, Wang Lin got out of the car and looked at it, and smiled and said, "Yumei Dance Hall?"

Bai Lan said: "Mr. Wang, do you know this too? It was also what Mr. Zhang told you?"

Wang Lin's eyebrows and eyes moved: "You mean, Mr. Zhang told you to let you come here to consume?"

Bai Lan said: "Anyway, I'm going to play, where are you going? I can also take care of Mr. Zhang's sister-in-law's business!"

Tan Yiyi whispered: "This Mr. Zhang is very good at doing business! Aixu Group has hundreds of thousands of people. If they come here to consume, the dance hall will become prosperous."

Wang Lin nodded, not saying anything.

Everyone walked in.

Liu Mei was talking to her subordinates at the front desk. From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the gate. When she saw Wang Lin walking in, she couldn't help but feel surprised. She left her subordinates and trotted over, and her high heels hit the smooth floor, making a musical sound.

"Hello, Mr. Wang!" A gust of fragrant wind blew, and then a beauty directly took Wang Lin's arm.

Wang Lin smiled awkwardly: "Don't do this, others will think how it is between us when they see it!"

Liu Mei said: "Oh, what are you afraid of! You are my distinguished guest, and you are my brother too! Mr. Wang, thank you for coming here. How many people? I'll arrange it."

Wang Lin pointed to the model team: "Here, there are so many, about thirty. Can you sit in the private room?"

Liu Mei said: "You can sit in the private room, but you're so crowded! Mr. Wang, is this good? I'll arrange three private rooms? You can't wait too long to sing."

Wang Lin said: "That's fine, that's it."

When Bai Lan heard about three big bags, she couldn't help but feel pain again.

The consumption here is not cheap!

The luxurious private room can accommodate thirty people. If everyone squeezes in, a large private room is actually enough and it is still lively!

Now Wang Lin spoke and wanted to divide it into three private rooms. It would be easy to sing, but the purse would be bleeding again.

The room fee is not expensive, but other consumption, such as wine, drinks, and singing ladies.

Divided into three private rooms, who knows if the other two private rooms can make a lot of money?

After this game, the money you pay for is gone!

Bai Lan was in pain in her heart, but she smiled on her face and greeted everyone upstairs.

She originally wanted a big private room, and two small private rooms were enough, but Liu Mei directly arranged three big bags.

It's still early, and there are more private rooms before you can get in.

Wang Lin, Tan Yiyi and others were in the same private room.
