"She... won?"

In the dark, Zhao Zeming took two staggered steps, looking at the score on the big screen in disbelief.

The gap between him and her was not a fraction of a point like the others, but a full three points—the judges gave her a high score that was almost perfect!

Lost her "Golden Banquet"?

This is simply saying that Honglou's accumulation in the past few decades is not as good as this girl, how is it possible?!

In the past few years, he has been hailed as the most talented genius in the culinary world, but now he is taken away by a person younger than himself!

The words that are blown out, the momentum created by the media, the hype that is boasted, and the vows made to investors have all become jokes.

Zhao Zeming's hands began to tremble.

He looked fearfully and blankly at the focus of the audience. The girl was standing in the spotlight, with a bright smile and a radiant expression.

She didn't know the things she was doing behind the scenes, which made him describe her wretchedness even more.

...

After the rankings of all contestants were announced, the top six fairy chefs came to the stage to receive their trophies.Jiang Ci also came on stage, and after shaking hands with the judges in turn, received a golden trophy from Huang Zongxuan.

This is the highest honor in the culinary world.

Even the other contestants who were also competitors showed envy and admiration at this time.They work hard in front of the chopping board by the stove every day, so they naturally know the tricks and hard work here. No matter how talented people are, they are just quick jade. Without a lot of accumulation and practice, it is impossible to win the first prize in the fairy kitchenof.

The person in front of him can make delicious food that amazes all the judges, and can do things that he can't do.

It can only be said that she deserves this trophy!

Under the stage, a chef suddenly applauded, and then, the second, third... contestants all applauded.

Huang Zongxuan looked at the contestants unexpectedly, and after regaining his senses, he shook Jiang Ci's hand vigorously, with unconcealed praise in his eyes: "Congratulations!"

"Thank you." Jiang Ci smiled, held the trophy firmly, and happily raised it towards the camera.

In front of the camera, the reporters fixed the picture at this moment.

After the awarding ceremony, the Immortal Chef Contest came to an end.

The host said: "Thank you to all the friends who came from afar, thank you to all the culinary colleagues who participated in the competition, thank you for your support to the Immortal Cooking Competition one after another, and thank you for your silent contribution on the road of cooking! I hope that we will have a good four years!See you later!"

Amidst the cheers, the Fairy Kitchen came to an end.

...

After Jiang Ci left the field, she didn't stop, and hurried across the aisle with the trophy in her arms, heading to the place she had made an appointment with Qi Yan.

Qi Yan had already reached the backstage, and Jiang Ci saw his tall figure from a distance.

"Congratulations." Qi Yan had a gentle smile on his brows.

Jiang Ci smiled, and before she could speak, Qi Yan quickly said: "Go to this aisle, the audience and reporters will pass by and exit there, you may be surrounded if you go."

Jiang Ci hurriedly followed him two steps, she didn't really want to accept the post-match interview now.

Jiang Ci: "How is Mi Ting's situation?"

"It's not a big problem, Ye Hongliang has already sent her back to the hotel." Qi Yan said, "I have another thing I want to talk to you about."

Jiang Ci was puzzled: "What?"

"Master Lu that Mi Ting met last night, in fact, it can be said that he came to City B at the invitation of Hong Lou." Qi Yan stopped.

Jiang Ci's expression changed: "How to say?"

"We have found some evidence so far, and have reported the case." Qi Yan said, "It is relatively clear that Lu Li knew that there was a problem with the ingredients in advance, but whether it has anything to do with Honglou, we still need to wait for further investigation results..”

Jiang Ci nodded.

At this moment, a person in charge of the Immortal Chef Contest hurried over with two staff members: "Mr. Qi, are you looking for us?"

"Well, please find a convenient place to talk." Qi Yan nodded.

The person in charge invited him and Jiang Ci into a backstage room.Qi Yan gave an overview of the current situation, and the person in charge broke out in cold sweat.

"How is it possible? This, this... What if it's a misunderstanding..." The person in charge subconsciously denied it, but then he became unsure. In fact, he also knew how famous the title of "No. 1 Immortal Chef" is.

What's more, what Hong Lou presented this time was the "Golden Banquet" of the family, and the "unprecedented genius" Zhao Zeming held the knife. Obviously, he did his best to come here.

Qi Yan's tone was light: "We are just telling you this situation, please prepare for the organizing committee. We can wait for the results to be sure. Honglou is clean and innocent, which is naturally the best."

"Understood." The person in charge gradually calmed down, "We will pay attention to this situation. If the evidence is convincing, the fairy chef must not be awarded to someone with bad conduct!"

A chef who dares to do something to the food is corrupt from the root.

Saying goodbye to the organizing committee, Jiang Ci and Qi Yan borrowed the aisle from the staff and walked out of the arena.

In the corridor, Jiang Ci met Hong Lang.She was trying to take care of Hong Lang's feeling that he didn't get the "Fairy Chef", so she quietly left from the side, but she didn't expect Hong Lang to come to him on his own initiative.

"What?" Jiang Ci looked at him.

Qi Yan looked at the man in front of him, he didn't look as handsome as himself.

Hong Lang hesitated for a moment, as if he had struggled in his heart: "I want to taste your dish today, which is the dish that won the first place in "Fairy Chef". I'm very curious."

Jiang Ci listened, thinking that even though Hong Lang lost, the style of the young master in his tone was still undiminished.She raised her eyebrows slightly: "When Mr. Hong doesn't know who to ask for, do you want to say please?"

Hong Lang was stunned for a moment, realized his offense rarely, gritted his teeth and said, "I apologize for the previous thing. I was wrong when we first met. This time in exchange, I can take out my best tableOr... Golden Banquet, National Golden Banquet anytime, you can eat and live for free." Hong Lang frowned, thinking about what else he could exchange.

Jiang Ci interrupted him: "I accept the apology, and nothing else is necessary."

Hong Lang: "I just want to taste what the peak cooking skills are like."

This is the curiosity that everyone who pursues the way of cooking can't restrain.

Jiang Ci replied: "If you want to eat, go to the Fengqian restaurant and make a reservation."

Jiang Ci plans to launch the dishes made in the Immortal Chef Competition in Fengqian restaurant one after another.However, considering that some dishes are difficult to make, if you want to sell them externally, you must set up a reservation system.

At this moment, she could sense the unprecedented good business in Fengqian Pavilion, and wished she could use some of herself.

After leaving the arena, Jiang Ci hurried back to the hotel.

Mi Ting and Ye Hongliang were already waiting in the hotel. They couldn't make it to the scene, so they all watched the live broadcast in the hotel.

When Ye Hongliang saw Jiang Ci, he was so excited that he almost danced and couldn't help showing her the spectacular barrage in the live broadcast just now, while Mi Ting's eyes were red, and after calming down, he said "Congratulations".

She had been worried that she would influence Jiang Ci, and she didn't really feel relieved until she saw him holding up the trophy.

"I told you to have confidence in me." Jiang Ci patted her on the shoulder, then smiled, "Let's go, let's go back to Fengqian Hall!"

...

Boss Jiang from Fengqian Restaurant won the first place in Immortal Kitchen!

After the Immortal Chef Contest ended, the news quickly spread throughout the culinary world.That night, the accounts of Fengqian Restaurant and Jiangjiang Kitchen skyrocketed to a large number of fans.

However, the number of fans has increased recently, and Jiang Ci didn't pay much attention.

Immediately afterwards, the media poured in. Jiang Ci spent a day receiving various interviews, and there were a lot of reports like snowflakes. Various food magazines and food columns also quickly put on the agenda exclusive reports about Fengqian Restaurant.

Many investors even approached Mr. Zhao, trying to make a connection through him, wanting to inject capital into Fengqian Restaurant, or win the qualifications to open a branch store or get a name.

This kind of invitation, after communicating with Jiang Ci, President Zhao made a mistake and helped her reject it.

Fengqian Restaurant must ensure the quality of its dishes, not to mention its reputation as a "fairy chef" it just acquired.If the expansion is too fast, or the branch stores are not well managed, it is easy to go wrong.

However, Jiang Ci couldn't refuse a suggestion brought by Chairman Zhao.

"Changing to a bigger store?" President Zhao suggested, "I have been approached by several people in charge of the business district, and I want to invite Fengqian to move to their place. It will definitely be a first-class location."

In fact, those responsible persons said that even the rent can be reduced or exempted.Fengqian Restaurant chose them, which means that they brought incomparable traffic and fame, which is the number one fairy chef!Next, if Fengqianguan wants to open a branch, they can also get the moon first.

The person in charge even wished that Fengqian Hall could be relocated overnight.

"Let me take a closer look." Jiang Ci took several cooperation proposals from Chairman Zhao.

But before the new location for the relocation was determined, another person approached Jiang Ci face to face.

The other party is the owner of the original store of Fengqian Pavilion, and also an old neighbor of some small shops on the street.This time, he was entrusted by those small shops.

"After Fengqian Hall moved out, everyone missed you very much..." the old man rubbed his hands.

Jiang Ci looked at him puzzled, and smiled: "What's the matter?"

The old man realized that it was strange to play the emotional card at this time, so he said bluntly, "Let me just say it, the passenger flow on that street is getting less and less.Business. Boss Jiang, after all, that is the place where Fengqian Restaurant started, and it is of commemorative significance, have you considered reopening a branch there?"

"My shop is useless in my hands." The old man hesitated for a while, "You have a big business now, if you like it, I'll just transfer it."

The old man offered a price that was lower than the current market price. An Xu Road was full of memories from his youth, and he hoped to see it revitalize.

After Jiang Ci figured out his reason for coming, she nodded.

She has also considered this matter. It was there that she met the first group of friends in this world, and there was an incomparable meaning to her.

Although it is not yet the time to open a branch in Fengqianguan, food such as osmanthus cake and chestnut cake can be sold there, and it is not a problem to temporarily operate the store as a pastry shop.

Sending off the old man, Jiang Ci can be regarded as knowing the power of the "fairy chef".

After a few days, the Fengqian restaurant can be said to be thriving. If it weren't for her inability to duplicate, it seems that branch stores can be opened all over the country.

In addition to the opportunities obtained in the development of Fengqian Pavilion, there are also some investors who simply want to lure her away with a lot of money.Milos, who had met once at the food festival before, was paid quite generously, even reaching a shocking figure.

In order to stabilize the morale of the people in Fengqian Pavilion, Jiang Ci didn't tell them at all-if the employees thought that the boss was going to run away, it would be bad.

The fame brought by Xianchu not only works in China, but diners all over the world who pay attention to Chinese food, after hearing the news, also want to come to find out.About half a month later, the first batch of foreign diners who grabbed the number appeared in Fengqian restaurant...

...

Jiang Ci worked without touching the ground for several weeks, and then the results of the investigation about Lu Li came out.

According to his confession, Zhao Zeming wanted to weaken the opponent's strength, but he didn't dare to do it too obviously, so he decided to start with Mi Ting, and let Lu Li himself be recruited, so that even if he was suspected, he could pass the blame to a third party.

After all, no one would have guessed that Lu Li, an old man who had no grievances with Mi Ting, would do such a thing that hurt the enemy one thousand and self-destruction eight hundred.

But it was found out.

And chat records, hotel videos, transfer records and other evidence are all there.

"It deserves it!" President Zhao was deeply moved, "In the culinary world, if you dare to do something in the imported food, you will only lose your reputation. In the future, no one will dare to eat the dishes he cooks."

Immortal Chef's processing speed was also very fast. On the day he heard the news, he announced that Zhao Zeming's "Immortal Chef" qualification was revoked.They didn't say much, but the reporters had already covered the situation.

The boss of Honglou wanted to spend a lot of money to suppress the news, but he couldn't.

At the beginning, Hong Lou paid a lot of money to build momentum for Zhao Zeming. In the hearts of the onlookers, Zhao Zeming had already been praised as the image of a rising star in the culinary world.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Since then, Zhao Zeming also disappeared in the kitchen world.

...

A month later, Jiang Ci finally got used to the busier daily life after getting the "Fairy Chef", and also took time to start moving.

After the funds at hand gradually became abundant, Jiang Ci bought herself a small house under the urging of Zhao Sulan.

She didn't know much about decoration. It happened that there was a diner who was in the decoration industry. Hearing that Boss Jiang wanted to do decoration, he came here to recommend himself.Jiang Ci chatted with him for a while, hit it off immediately, and immediately shared his general ideas with the other party, and handed it over to others.

Unexpectedly, during the acceptance inspection, the effect was quite good, and she agreed to how the other party pretended.

In the eyes of Wang Jianian and others, she just has no idea. Boss Jiang doesn't pay too much attention to life except for her cooking skills.

On this day, Jiang Ci made an appointment with the moving company to start construction.She didn't have many things, so she quickly packed the commonly used items, and when she touched a photo album, she stopped the movement of her hands.

That was the photo album left by Xiao Jiangci.

When she first came to this world, looking at Xiao Jiangci's memories was like observing another world through the fluctuating water surface. She thought that these memories would gradually disappear, but no, instead, they occasionally changed with some night dreams.be clear.

Jiang Ci flipped through the photo album left by little Jiang Ci, gradually revealing a look of nostalgia.

It's not that Jiang Ci has never doubted it. In the past, she has always had a slight dislike for the Jiang family. She thought it was the residual emotions of little Jiang Ci that were causing trouble in her heart, but in fact, can emotions really remain?

Or maybe, she has some connection with Xiao Jiang Ci in the dark.

It's like the same person grows up differently in different worlds.

she does not know.

Jiang Ci hesitated, wrapped the album and put it in a cardboard box.

Walking out of the room, Jiang Ci couldn't help smiling when she saw Qi Yan's back.

Hearing that she was going to move, Qi Yan also offered to help.

Qi Yan stopped what he was doing and turned around: "Is it packed?"

"It's ready inside." Jiang Ci turned sideways, let the moving uncle in, and lifted the big box down.

"It's all right here." Qi Yan put the last piece of tape on, lifted the box with both hands, and lifted the box to his chest, "Check to see if there's anything missing."

"No more." Jiang Ci finally looked around the room where she lived briefly.

Going down to the first floor, after Jiang Ci checked the box, she asked the moving master to help deliver it to the new house, and then she followed in Qi Yan's car.

Jiang Ci was covered in dust, and as soon as the moving truck drove away, she stood in the exhaust and sneezed.

"You can wash your hands nearby." Jiang Ci knew that there was a row of outdoor faucets in the stadium next door.

She walked over as usual, and just turned on a faucet when she suddenly felt a jerk on her arm.

Qi Yan's strength was so great that Jiang Ci was taken aback.The next moment, she saw the iron nozzle roll into the pool, making a loud "clang" sound, and then the old and dilapidated faucet sprayed like laxatives, and the movement was quite loud.

Qi Yan stood in front of her and quickly turned off the faucet.

When Qi Yan turned around, Jiang Ci saw clearly that half of his body was drenched by water, and there were still drops of water hanging on one side of his hair, which became wet strands.There was a little imperceptible panic left on his face, which was fleeting, and this kind of expression rarely appeared on his face.

Qi Yan raised his hand to wipe off the drops of water on his eyelashes, and said, "There is something wrong with this faucet. I just heard that the sound of the water pipe is not right."

"Are you okay?" Jiang Ci asked quickly.

"It's okay." Qi Yan shook his head, and after realizing it, he let go of Jiang Ci's left hand.

Jiang Ci rubbed her wrist, looking at his expression, she was a little dazed.

In her previous life, she was obsessed with learning how to cook, and she spent all her time studying. In the words of this era, she has been solo from her mother's womb to the present.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't understand.

She could see that Qi Yan had always been kind to her. When he saw her, he would be happy and nervous, and would want to give her the good but conceal it.

Moreover, the worry and panic just now were not fake.

She was inexperienced and didn't know if she guessed right or not, so she seldom responded, and he didn't go any further.

However, at this moment, Jiang Ci felt that she could no longer avoid this question.

She doesn't dislike Qi Yan, she can even say that she has a good impression of him, and the first thing she thinks of when she makes delicious food is him.She hates being entangled, so at this moment, she wants to ask for clarification.

In the autumn wind, Jiang Ci was silent for two seconds, and said: "There is something, I don't know if this is the right time to say it... If it is not right, you will listen to it..."

Boss Jiang smoothed things over in a rare way.

Although her expression was calm, her words betrayed her clumsiness.

She was so tangled up that she even looked away.

Qi Yan looked at her, his heart skipped a beat, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "What do you want to ask?"

"I..." Jiang Ci took a deep breath, thinking about his words.

And she hasn't said it yet.

"Jiang Ci, I like you." Qi Yan's black eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Ah?" Boss Jiang's tangled words were blocked in the middle.

Qi Yan: "Is what you want to ask related to this?"

Jiang Ci was stunned, and slowly closed her mouth: "Uh... it's related."

The short-circuited brain slowly resumed operation, and Jiang Ci felt the blood gradually rushing to his cheeks, accompanied by emotions composed of joy, surprise, and indeed.

Jiang Ci smiled: "...It's a coincidence, me too."

...

Ye Hongliang drove the car to the side of the road and waited with Mi Ting for his boss to come over.And when he saw Qi Yan approaching, years of experience as an assistant made him keenly aware that Qi Yan's expression was wrong.

Mi Ting also saw something was wrong.

"What happened?" Ye Hongliang asked suspiciously.

Mi Ting is not a talkative person, she was puzzled, but didn't answer.

In the distance, two figures, one tall and one low, came from the basketball court.

Qi Yan's ears were very red. Although it could be explained as being blown by the autumn wind, the gentle smile that could not be concealed between his brows was indeed too obvious.

Jiang Ci was smiling, and seemed to be in a good mood. It felt like he would be rewarded for free at the Fengqian Pavilion in the next moment.

This good mood lasted until returned to the store.

It was less than four o'clock in the afternoon, and diners who were trying to grab the sporadic number on the day had already formed a long line outside. Jiang Ci saw many familiar faces, the old Zhao family, Feng Pingfeng who sneaked over with Master Chang on his back, Li Haichuan who finally took a vacation, and Zhang Lingxi who finally graduated...

The reason is that she announced that there will be a new dish in the store today, which is the stewed beef rib that appeared in the Immortal Kitchen final.

Jiang Ci greeted everyone one by one, and counted the appointments for the day, only a table of guests who suddenly couldn't come canceled the reservation.Jiang Ci persuaded the guests who were really not in the queue to leave, and at the same time took out a box of newly made chestnut cakes and gave each of them a box.

The dried chestnut cakes in autumn are fragrant, soft, mellow and sweet, and the aroma wafts through the commercial street, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"Boss Jiang, why are you so generous today?" the familiar old customer asked curiously.

"I'm in a good mood." Jiang Ci smiled, and said in anticipation, "There will be a new store soon, and we can entertain more guests every day."

Cheers erupted all around.

Jiang Ci laughed. At this moment, she only felt that the world was very bright. As far as the eye could see, the sky was so blue that it stretched as far as the eye could see.

The author has something to say:

This is the end, and there is still a little bit of episodes that will drop tomorrow!
