Not only was Wang Xu shocked, but he almost choked by Yin Weihua's words, but even the other judges were surprised. He didn't understand what Yin Weihua's words meant by the Living King of Hell. Is this young man very famous?
Not to mention Wang Xu and others, even Li Jinhong, who had just spoken out to Yin Weihua's ear and told Yin Weihua that Wang Xu's identity was stunned for a moment, with a wry smile on her face.
In fact, it is not surprising that Yin Weihua knows the nickname of Wang Xu as the King of Hell. Even before Hong Kong Island returned, Hong Kong Island never paid less attention to the mainland, let alone Hong Kong Island has returned now.
Yin Weihua may not know about Wang Xu's other things, but Yin Weihua knew about his beating Xie Cong. In fact, it was not only Yin Weihua, but also many officials from other provinces who had heard of it.
You should know that the conflict between Xie Cong and Wang Xu is definitely not as simple as the two fighting in the end, and it even involves the Shen family and the Xie family. Such two forces at the level of giants in China are in conflict, so how can other forces not understand?
Fortunately, Yin Weihua didn't say the second half of the sentence, otherwise Wang Xu would be even more shocked. After saying the nickname of Living Hell, Yin Weihua even smiled bitterly in his heart: "It turned out to be this troublemaker. I hope I won't mess around on my Hong Kong Island."
I have to say that good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles away, and Wang Xu’s ability to cause trouble has actually reached the ears of Hong Kong Chief Chief Yin Weihua.
Wang Xu, who came to his senses, smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the Chief Executive, the bad reputation, would know everything."
Yin Weihua laughed and said, "I don't think it's a bad reputation. The Living King of Hell, what a domineering title, I'm a little envious."
"Tsk!" Listening to Yin Weihua's joke, everyone could see that Wang Xu was definitely not simple, and the Chief Executive rarely joked with anyone like this.
With this episode, other people naturally would not mind Wang Xu's wrong position. If the Chief Executive is so polite to Wang Xu, even if the other party is sitting under Dong Yanfeng, there is nothing wrong with him.
Of course, it’s not that no one has any objections. Nie Wentong’s face looks very bad. Originally, Nie Wentong was a little afraid of Wang Xu. Wang Xu and Li Jinhong had a good relationship, so it was definitely not something that their Tonghua Group could afford. Now that he added another Chief Executive, Nie Wentong was completely desperate.
"Haha." Yin Weihua and Wang Xu joked, but did not continue to say much to Wang Xu. Instead, they smiled and picked up the wine glass in front of them and said, "Family, first of all, we wish the 9th Cooking Competition smoothly and our Hong Kong Island economy continued to rise."
Others also picked up their glasses and said with a smile: "I wish the 9th Cooking Competition to be successfully held, and I wish Hong Kong Island's economy to take off." Then I drank it all.
Some people say that the circle awareness of the Shanghai City is strong, but in fact, to be honest, the circle awareness of the Hong Kong people is stronger than that of the Shanghai City.
Due to the historical reasons of Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong people have always been relatively united and do not look down on mainlanders. The Chief Executive of Hong Kong Island also has internal elections in Hong Kong Island. From this point of view, we can see one or two.
Wang Xu sat at the dining table, listening to Yin Weihua and a group of judges joking. Basically, three words were said to be the entire Hong Kong Island, and the judges were mostly Hong Kong Island people. Several mainlanders such as Wang Xu and Xiao Hansheng were basically not very good at talking.
After lunch, a group of people rested until one pm and entered the conference room again. The meeting was held by Hong Kong Island's Financial Secretary Dong Yanfeng.
After Wang Xu came for a while, he now basically understood the details of the Hong Kong Cooking Competition. As the Secretary for Finance of Hong Kong Island, Dong Yanfeng is the president of the jury this time, responsible for supervising the fairness and fairness of the entire culinary competition. At the same time, Dong Yanfeng and Li Jinhong and Chen Shouyi are the final jury. If there is a dispute and disagreement between the other jury, the jury composed of Dong Yanfeng will eventually decide the result.
Of course, the past sessions were not so troublesome. It was just that this year's cooking competition allowed many Chinese chefs such as Taiwan and the mainland to participate. The number of participants was relatively large and the interest groups involved were not large. Therefore, the jury has been much more standardized than previous sessions.
As the biggest sponsor of this cooking competition, Li Jinhong is naturally qualified to serve as one of the three judges in the jury. As for Chen Shouyi, it is because he is the boss of Xiaoxiang Restaurant. The original intention of the Hong Kong Island cooking competition was originally to commemorate the generation of chef Chen Sitong. Chen Shouyi, as a descendant of Chen Sitong, naturally has this qualification.
Dong Yanfeng sat at the first place in the conference room, Li Jinhong sat on the left of Dong Yanfeng, Chen Shouyi was on the right, and down there were many judges coming, totaling sixteen.
After everyone sat down, Dong Yanfeng glanced at the judges sitting, and then said aloud: "All people, according to the previous rules, the cooking competition is divided into preliminary rounds, semi-finals and finals. This session is naturally no exception. However, given that there are too many famous chefs participating in the competition, Mr. Li and Chen discussed it and decided to divide the judges sitting into five groups, and the preliminary rounds are divided into five areas at the same time. I wonder if you have any opinions?"
"No." Everyone expressed that the preliminary round of the cooking competition was basically not very particular, that is, the worst group of people were eliminated. This time, more than 500 chefs were attacked, and there were 100 places to enter the competition. It sounded fierce, but in fact, there were many people who were just filling in the competition, so it was nothing wrong with it.
"Okay, since that's the case, then I will do it like this. I will explain the grouping situation in detail later." Dong Yanfeng nodded with a faint smile, and once again explained the rules of the cooking competition in detail.
The rules of the cooking competition are the same, whether it is the preliminary or the semi-finals. Each of the chefs participating in the competition makes three special dishes, and the judges will taste and appreciate and score, and implement an elimination system. After the semi-finals, the top ten will be ranked in the final.
The rules of the finals are a little different. There are still three dishes per person. However, the chefs have the final say on what dish to cook, but the chefs who participate in the finals make the same dish. The judges taste, appreciate, and score, and take the top three.
The reason why all the chefs who participated in the finals made the same dish was because the chefs who were able to enter the finals were basically famous in the country. If they were still allowed to make their own special dishes, they would not be able to show their true standards and would be difficult to comment. It is clear which one dish is higher and which one is lower.
After talking about the rules of the cooking competition, Dong Yanfeng announced the allocation of five groups of judges. Dong Yanfeng was present, with a total of sixteen judges. Except for Dong Yanfeng when the distribution was distributed, the other fifteen people were divided into five groups, each group of three, Wang Xu and Xiao Hansheng and Chen Shouyi were divided into one group.
After the judges were assigned, Dong Yanfeng announced the locations of the five preliminary rounds, namely the Cultural Center of Hong Kong Island, the Hong Kong Li Hotel, the Concierge House, Shangri-La Hotel, and the Xiaoxiang Restaurant.
These five places are famous places on Hong Kong Island. Wang Xu visited the Cultural Center once. It was a comprehensive theater on Hong Kong Island. It was very spacious. The Hong Kong Medical Arts Exchange Conference he attended was held at the Cultural Center.
As for Hong Kong Li Hotel, Shangri-La Hotel and Xiaoxiang Mansion, these three places are famous five-star hotels and restaurants on Hong Kong Island. Each of them is not small in size. Needless to mention the Concierge Mansion, it is the current Chief Executive of Hong Kong Island and the administrative and rights center of Hong Kong Island.
Wang Xu and Chen Shouyi are in the same group. The preliminary competition area where they are located is naturally at Xiaoxiang Restaurant. The Hong Kong Island Cooking Competition will officially kick off at 9:00 tomorrow morning.
At the end of the meeting at the Concierge House, all the famous chefs and the restaurants they represented were notified that all participants were divided into five parts and participated in the preliminary competition in five areas.
Wang Xu and his group left the Concierge Mansion and followed Chen Shouyi and Xiao Hansheng to the Xiaoxiang Food Mansion to inspect the site. The preliminary competition was divided into five areas. Although it was announced only today's meeting, the plan had been formulated long ago and the venues in the five places had already begun to be arranged.
Chen Shouyi led Wang Xu and Xiao Hansheng into the Xiaoxiang Restaurant and headed straight to the top floor auditorium. After entering the auditorium, Chen Shouyi smiled and said to Wang Xu: "This is actually the place where the first Hong Kong Island Cooking Competition was held. It was only after the second session that he moved to the Concierge House. Please ask for it."
Wang Xu and Xiao Hansheng followed Chen Shouyi and were not only surprised when they entered the auditorium. This auditorium was not ordinary big, with several basketball courts in size, and the top floor of the entire Xiaoxiang Restaurant was opened. Except for the entire auditorium, there were no other private rooms.
The top floor of the auditorium is conical, and there is a transparent semicircular glass cover in the middle. Through the glass cover, you can even see the white clouds in the sky. It is somewhat similar to the top floor design of the Gangli Hotel. The only difference is that the Xiaoxiang Restaurant is built in a relatively high floor. The floor is not very high, and the back is ten floors, while the Gangli Hotel has a total of sixty-one floors.
At this time, the auditorium had been laid out. On the front, the wide rostrum were ten simple cabinets and kitchen utensils, which were obviously used by the participating chefs to compete. The back was slightly higher, and there were three tables and chairs, which were where Wang Xu and the three judges sat. There were thousands of chairs under the rostrum, which were reserved for the audience who came to watch.
Just looking at the entire venue, it is definitely not a problem to accommodate two thousand people. This is just a small imperial restaurant. I really don’t know how other places are arranged. To be honest, the venue of Xiaoxiang Restaurant should be the smallest among these five venues.
Despite this, Wang Xu and Xiao Hansheng were also very surprised, especially Xiao Hansheng, who is the owner of Kyoto Imperial Food Mansion. Seeing the spacious venue, he not only sighed: "I didn't expect that Xiaoxiang Food Mansion has this place. It's really not easy. If I can't help but feel a bit wasteful."
Chen Shouyi smiled and heard the taste of Xiao Hansheng's words, and couldn't help but feel a little proud: "This is also impossible. The place left by the ancestor is the only one who can be the younger generation. It is also a thought."
PS: Xiaoxiao has limited experience and has never participated in any large-scale events. This time, the cooking competition can only rely on imagination and there is no reference. It is difficult to write. Some chapters may look boring. I would like to say sorry to everyone. Xiaoxiao will try his best to write it well. When you enter the competition, there will be many exciting things. Please support Xiaoxiao.
