    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    The competition in the S city competition ended with great excitement. Based on the scores of the professional judges and the votes of the students, finally six chefs advanced to the finals.

    Feng Lu just happened to be ranked seventh. For her, the schedule ended here.

    Jiang Ci wanted to comfort her, but before she could speak, Feng Lu saw what she wanted to say and waved her hands repeatedly.

    "Everyone is a master, I am convinced of the defeat." Feng Lu smiled, her eyes were firm, "I will come back in four years."

    "Come on." Jiang Ci said.

    The results of the competition in City G were also settled after half an hour. Zhao Zeming won the first place without any surprise, followed by two well-known chefs who had won the "Fairy Chef" in the past.Wang Jianian lost and stopped in the second round of the rematch.

    Wang Jianian was the first to call Jiang Ci.

    "Congratulations, boss! I heard that you are number one again!"

    Wang Jianian's voice was full of laughter, and he didn't hear any sadness. The background sound was quite noisy, as if there were electronic firecrackers.

    Jiang Ci wondered, "Why is it so noisy in your place?"

    "The guys in Wang Pinlou are making trouble. Haha, my dad also came to City G." Wang Jianian roughly talked about it, and Jiang Ci knew that Wang Hechang was quite satisfied with Wang Jianian's ability to reach the second round of the semi-finals..

    The old man's best result was only entering the finals, and he did it at the age of forty-five.Wang Jianian is only one step away from him, but he is not yet thirty.

    "Boss, my old man would like to invite you to Wangpinlou for a gathering, saying that he wants to thank you for your cultivation. How is it?" Wang Jianian asked tentatively.

    His relationship is still rather embarrassing. He is said to be an employee of Feng Qianguan, but in fact he is the heir of Wang Pinlou.Fortunately, it happens from time to time that the culinary world learns from each other, and Jiang Ci doesn't care about it.

    Wang Jianian can only rely on his familiarity with the local catering industry to provide Jiang Ci with convenience, which is considered a reward.

    "Okay, let's find some time after the final." Jiang Ci smiled, not paying much attention.

    Wang Pinlou and Jixianglou were in the same situation. Originally, because her surname was Jiang, Wang Hechang felt embarrassed when he saw her. Now that Wang Hechang was willing to take the initiative to find her, she agreed.

    Feng Qianguan started in City A, and will continue to develop in City A for quite some time in the future. Communication with peers is also very necessary.

    ...

    The news of the Immortal Chef Contest has attracted the attention of the culinary world, and Zhao Zeming has received countless congratulations on his mobile phone after he got off the field.

    In addition to the information from friends in the same industry, there is also information from my own master.

    When Zhao Zeming saw the news, his mood brightened.The score of the competition was very tight that day. He and the second and third place chefs had almost the same ratings from the audience, but the scores from the professional judges were farther apart.

    The fact that the audience's ratings are similar is actually very understandable - each dish they cook is 200 servings, and at most 200 people can taste it.Zhao Zeming is confident that if the organizing committee does not limit the number of copies, he will be able to distance himself from the second and third place.

    His talent has been affirmed by many seniors in the culinary world, and because of Director Liang's investment, his learning resources are also top-notch.

    "Master, I'm going back to City B tonight." Zhao Zeming answered the phone.

    "Okay, I'll congratulate you tomorrow. From now on until the final, you will prepare for the competition with all your strength!" The master said congratulations, but his tone was very serious.

    Zhao Zeming was in a good mood, and smiled after hearing the words: "Master, why is your voice so serious?" As soon as the words fell, his eyes flashed, "The result of the other game has come out?"

    "It came out. Jiang Ci is the first." The voice on the other side paused for a while, then hesitated, "As far as I know, her audience votes exceeded 200 votes."

    Zhao Zeming's expression became serious.

    He knew why the master was serious.

    More than two hundred votes?In fact, this situation also appeared in the arena here. His final vote was 208. He thought that this situation would only happen to him.

    Unexpectedly... the other party also had the same situation.

    "I see." Zhao Zeming thought of something, "Director Liang..."

    "Director Liang doesn't know the situation, all he knows is that you are number one."

    After hanging up the phone, Zhao Zeming's expression turned cold.

    Before participating in this competition, he never imagined that he would meet such an opponent.

    ...

    On Saturday, Lin Yun planned to cook a few dishes by herself, so she ordered "Ginger Kitchen" early in the morning.

    In the past few months, relying on the videos of "Jiang Jiang Kitchen", she has gradually advanced to become a "chef" at home. Although her craftsmanship is not comparable to that of restaurants outside, she is already considered a crushing class among her relatives and friends..

    Recently, the update of "Jiang Jiang's Kitchen" has been suspended. Lin Yun learned from the comment section that Jiang Jiang participated in the "Fairy Chef" contest.

    Click on the homepage, Jiang Jiang still hasn't updated, but the comment area is very lively.

    【Ahhhhhh, have you watched the rematch of the Immortal Chef Competition?I'm hungry, I'm hungry![Screaming] [Screaming]]

    [Ginger is so beautiful!The dishes made by Jiang Jiang are also beautiful!Jiang Jiang, come up with a tutorial, I also want to learn how to make lucky bags [Star Eyes]]

    [Water Baxian is a good thing, can it only be bought in the place of origin?I only have some dry goods in the market here!】

    Lin Yun was at a loss, Water Eight Immortals?what?The Fairy Chef Contest started?

    Lin Yun searched quickly, and sure enough, during the prime time last night, the Immortal Cooking Contest was officially broadcast on the TV channel, and it was simultaneously launched on the video website at the same time.

    As a professional competition with a high degree of professionalism, coupled with the addition of delicious food, the attention of the Immortal Chef Competition is not low.Lin Yun clicked on the video website, and as soon as the beginning was broadcast, the screen was already covered with barrage.

    Lin Yun quickly adjusted the transparency of the barrage, and finally the picture behind her was revealed.

    The title of Xianchu is a collection of game scenes handed down from dozens of games in the past, all of which were created by the chef.What is shown right now is the scene of the back kitchen: white steam rises in the bamboo steamer, and when you open it, you will find fragrant and soft buns; the heavy iron pan shakes up and down, and the bright red yellow beef quickly changes color and shrinks under the high temperature;In the hanging furnace, the flames were on and off, and the big iron hooks hung oily and plump roast geese, and the fat slid down the brown-red skin...

    The stomach started to give an alarm, Lin Yun quickly took out a bag of snacks, and looked down while satisfying her hunger.

    As a competition that has been held for decades, the editing level of the organizer of Immortal Kitchen is quite high. Lin Yun was attracted after watching it for a while.Seeing the serious expressions of the contestants and the sweat on their cheeks, she also became nervous.

    Where is Jiang Jiang?

    Lin Yun waited curiously for Jiang Jiang's appearance. She came to watch this competition for Jiang Jiang, but there were dozens of chefs participating, and the film crew did not capture every chef.

    In the barrage, Lin Yun saw many science popularizations of participating chefs.The contestants who entered the semi-finals were basically well-known local chefs, and some even had honors.Compared with them, Jiang Jiang really looked fledgling.

    Lin Yun watched, her heart skipped a beat. Jiang Jiang is so young and doesn't work in any well-known old shop. Will she be frustrated in this competition?

    Selfishly speaking, Lin Yun doesn't want to see her favorite gourmet up owner fail.

    Lin Yun looked down while worrying, and at a certain moment, she was suddenly struck by the beautiful picture that flashed in front of her eyes. She took a closer look, and it turned out to be Jiang Jiang!

    There was also a small explosion in the barrage at this time.

    [See Jiang Jiang!Come on Jiang Jiang!!】

    [Number 18!Remember this number 18!That beautiful Eight Immortals lucky bag was made by her!】

    【Oh my god, it's Feng Qianguan's Boss Jiang?I have lined up for her at the food festival in province A, and her dishes are absolutely amazing!】

    [The fat chef next to him has been peeking at him, do you already feel the chef's aura here? www?】

    Lin Yun smiled knowingly, and many of the bullet screens were netizens who slipped past Jiang Jiang's kitchen.

    Before that day, in Lin Yun's mind, Jiang Jiang was a food blogger who ran a small restaurant in reality.She knew that Jiang Jiang was very good at cooking, but she didn't know to what extent.

    As the game continued to play, Lin Yun's mouth gradually opened into an "O" shape.

    What the hell, is that the head chef of the Golden Banquet Hotel?Jinyan is a restaurant she can't afford at all. Jiang Jiang's dishes are better than Jinyan in the judges' mouth?

    Those are ingredients worth tens of thousands!The mass judges let it go, and ran to eat the affordable seasonal water eight immortals?

    Oh my god, is this the proud son of Honglou?Lin Yun has already been popularized from the barrage. Zhao Zeming's glorious resume, becoming famous at a young age, defeating his master with a backhand at the age of 23, seeking challenges from teachers everywhere, winning international awards by relying on Chinese food at a young age, the only boy in the novel XiangThe plot made her look at Zhao Zeming with a handsome soft light.

    It turned out that this genius dish is actually not as good as Jiang Jiang's?

    The judges on the stage were admiring the Eight Immortals lucky bag, the camera turned around, but caught Jiang Jiang eating the lucky bag with a calm face.The cheeks were one by one, and he smiled when he saw the camera.

    He didn't look nervous at all on the field.

    Netizens who usually followed up with Lin Yun on "Jiang Jiang's Kitchen" were stunned.

    [It turns out that the food broadcaster who I have been learning to cook is actually a world-class chef...]

    [Hong Lou wants to eat Zhao Chu's meal without a six-figure number, and it's not even ranked, but to eat Feng Qianguan as long as... Jiang Jiang, where is your card???】

    [It's really hard for the gods to come down to earth to teach me this culinary idiot. I recall that Jiang Jiang still taught me how to blanch water in a private message...]

    When the real shot of the Eight Immortals Lucky Bag appeared on the screen, Lin Yun even forgot to chew the snacks in her mouth.

    Although the audience in front of the video cannot really taste the food, the delicious impression has been conveyed through various screens, such as the bubbling vegetarian broth during the production process, the fresh tender lotus root that is as crisp and white as jade, and the fresh tender lotus root stained with water droplets.The emerald green cress, the glutinous water chestnut with thin shell and thick flesh... and the fascinated expressions on the faces of the judges, as well as the emotional professional comments of the chef on the stage, all left Lin Yun with only one thought——

    She wants to eat too!

    Can't wait for a moment!

    ...

    Many netizens flocked to watch the Immortal Cooking Competition from the homepages of "Jiang Jiang Kitchen" and Feng Qianguan, and after watching the Immortal Cooking Competition, more netizens found these two accounts.

    The explosion of heat brought countless business invitations.

    Jiang Ci was confused by the sudden influx of information for a while.

    How to correctly handle these cooperation invitations requires an in-depth understanding of the market and accurate judgment. When it comes to this aspect, she is still a novice.

    Fortunately, Qi Yan sent a senior assistant who knew the situation to assist Jiang Ci in handling the information about the explosion during this period.

    When the "Fairy Chef" competition is completely over, Feng Qianguan will jump from a newborn small restaurant to one of the world-renowned top Chinese restaurants, and the jump will be huge.What Jiang Ci has to face is no longer just the neighbors, but the gourmets who come from all over the world.

    The old small workshop style of operation will no longer be suitable for Feng Qianguan, and Jiang Ci is also preparing for this.

    ...

    In the single ward, the old man leaned on a soft pillow and stared blankly at the pictures on the TV.

    While tidying up the room, the nurse peeked worriedly at the old man.If she hadn't seen the old man blinking his eyelids occasionally, she would have stretched out a finger to feel his breath.

    Under the quilt, the old man's withered hands were tightly holding the remote control, his knuckles turned white.

    Tian Mao failed, and Jixianglou didn't even make it to the rematch of the Immortal Cooking Competition this time.

    Jiang Deyong already knew the result more than half a month ago.

    In fact, as his big apprentice, Tian Mao at least has the level to enter the fairy chef rematch, but too many things have happened recently, Tian Mao is not in the state at all.

    Jiang Deyong also accepted the reality after getting angry for a few days.None of his apprentices can reproduce his culinary skills back then, let alone those in the family.

    However, he never imagined that he would see Jiang's family again on top of the rematch.

    Jiang Ci, his granddaughter, did not know where she honed her incomparably exquisite cooking skills, and she actually won the first place in the rematch!He even surpassed Zhao Zeming!

    Looking at it... She has almost grasped the title of this year's "Fairy Chef".

    The anger at having his dignity offended has gradually disappeared, replaced by extremely complicated emotions and unspeakable expectations.

    Where did she learn cooking?

    Why did I ignore her in the first place?

    how is she now

    The door of the ward was pushed open, and Jiang Zhe walked in: "Grandpa, are you looking for me?"

    Jiang Deyong's lips trembled, signaling Jiang Zhe to look at the TV.

    Jiang Zhe glanced at Jiang Ci's face on TV, smiled awkwardly, and asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"

    "No matter what method you use, get her back! Go and ask her what she wants, whether she wants her father to apologize to her or something else!"

    "Grandpa, you are confused..." Jiang Zhe prevaricated with a wry smile.His plan to split the group is already underway, and now Dafang is in the upper hand. If Jiang Ci is allowed to come back, the situation may not be so.

    For the benefit of Jiang Haichao, maybe he would bow his head and beg his daughter to come back. Fortunately, the second wife's wife and daughter are unreliable, and they can make a fuss when they hear Jiang Ci's name.

    "I'm not confused!" Jiang Deyong became emotional, "You are all unreliable! I can't watch you just build Jixiang Tower like this!"

    "Grandpa, don't get excited, the doctor said you must rest." Jiang Zhe took the remote control from the old man's hand, turned off the TV, and helped him tuck the corner of the quilt.

    Seeing his once favorite grandson ignore his opinion, turn around and walk away from the ward, Jiang Deyong felt cold in his heart.

    After the nurse left, Jiang Deyong gritted his teeth and got up from the hospital bed.

    ...

    Life went on as usual, and Jiang Ci received the news of the final a few days later.

    The final will be held half a month later, but the topic has already been revealed now, and the contestants have a full two weeks to prepare.

    The Immortal Cooking Competition hopes that the contestants will try their best to show the highest level in the final final.

    The contact person of the organizing committee explained the requirements of the final to Jiang Ci in detail. Jiang Ci recorded it, hung up the phone, turned around and saw Wang Jianian rushing in.

    Wang Jianian's expression was a little strange: "Boss, someone is looking for you."

    "Who?" Jiang Ci wondered, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, and Feng Qianguan hadn't opened yet, so who would come at this time?

    She went out and saw Jiang Deyong standing in the hall.The old man was leaning on crutches, with a hunched body, and the arm exposed from the sleeve was very thin.

    Jiang Deyong's voice was hoarse after a long illness: "I have something to say."

    Jiang Ci was stunned for a moment, seeing the expression on Jiang Deyong's face, she knew that he had to speak up about it.

    "Sit." Jiang Ci gestured with her hand out.

    Seeing this, Wang Jianian quietly slipped away from the other staff in the hall, but he still couldn't help sneaking a peek here.

    Big gossip!

    Jiang Deyong saw his granddaughter's unbelievably calm look. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still not used to it.

    Jiang Ci didn't give him unaccustomed time, and sat down in front of him after speaking.Jiang Deyong hesitated for a while, and then sat down.

    "You... have great cooking skills, I didn't realize that before." Jiang Deyong started with soft words.

    Jiang Ci smiled: "Speak directly if you have something to say."

    Jiang Deyong looked up at her, was silent for a few seconds, and said, "What conditions do you need before you are willing to return to Jixianglou? Not only Jixianglou, I can give you the entire position of Jiang's executive chef, and you can formulate Jiang's strategy.You manage the chefs below."

    Jiang Deyong gritted his teeth: "It's grandpa...I didn't see your talent before."

    Seeing Jiang Ci's silence, Jiang Deyong continued: "Your restaurant is too small, why not go back."

    Jiang Ci looked at the person in front of him, feeling deeply moved for a moment.The people like Jiang Haichao probably didn't expect that Jiang Deyong turned around and found her.

    At this moment... the old man in front of him began to call himself grandpa.

    However, she wasn't going to agree.

    From Jiang Ci's experience since she was a child, she already knew that getting involved in this big family would only bring more messy troubles.Jiang Deyong has always valued his own career the most, and it is still the same until now.He didn't come because of guilt towards Xiao Jiang Ci, but because of her current ability.

    Now that he has given her the position of executive chef, he mainly hopes that she can continue his hard work.

    Of course, Jiang Ci did not give up his interests because of anger.

    She said honestly: "You should know that Jixianglou is a mess now. Not only is it a mess, I will also be stained with fish when I go there. The old cooks have gone, the reputation of customers has plummeted, Jiang Zhe and Jiang Xiaotang will keep coming to meTrouble."

    "You..." Jiang Deyong pursed his lips.

    Jiang Ci continued: "Also, even if I go back and help you clean up the mess, others will say that this is the Jiang family's store, not my Jiang Ci's store. Would you like to give me the actual control over it?"

    Jiang Ci stared at Jiang Deyong's expression, and knew that he was right.

    Jiang Deyong didn't expect his thoughts to be seen through all of a sudden, so he endured it and said: "How many years have you been working in this small shop, can you be as big as Jiang's family?"

    "Really?" Jiang Ci glanced at him, "You became the No. 1 in City A in ten years thanks to your small frying skills, and you won the "Fairy Chef" once in eighteen years, which is the only time. Guess how many times I needyear?"

    Jiang Deyong was stunned for a moment.

    He himself was able to do it when he was young, why couldn't Jiang Ci?Judging from this period of time, she... seems to be much more talented than herself.

    Jiang Deyong's face was livid, and he didn't want to admit this fact.

    Jiang Ci hooked her lips: "Since your children and grandchildren don't have that kind of heart, you can accept the reality. This building can finally provide some food and drink for your children and grandchildren, so it's not worthless."

    "Watching the Jiang family's family business decline, you are stupid!" Jiang Deyong scolded.

    "I won't change my mind." Jiang Ci didn't intend to continue talking, and got up to see off the guests, "I don't have time here to entertain you. Let Jiang Zhe pick you up?"

    Seeing Jiang Deyong's unbelievable expression, Jiang Ci was silent for a few seconds, and finally explained: "Jiang's family business is not a sweet pastry that everyone wants to fight for. Even from the perspective of profit, I am not interested in helping you clean up the mess., to exchange for something follow-up."

    Jiang Ci looked directly into the eyes of the old man: "I respect you for your cooking skills, but not to the extent of admiration. I can do better, and you know that."

    Jiang Deyong listened, and stood there dumbfounded.

    If Jiang Ci rejected him only out of anger or resentment, he would change methods to achieve his goals.But Jiang Ci was calmer and more rational than he had imagined, and she rejected him based on her own interests.

    This is what he can't persuade.

    He still can't refute.

    Jiang Ci finally smiled, got up and left.Looking at her back, Jiang Deyong suddenly felt an inexplicable regret.

    He still doesn't know which step he did wrong.If he had known that Jiang Ci would grow up like this, he would not have invested all his resources on Jiang Zhe, nor would he have allowed Jiang Haichao to do those stupid things.

    But no if.

    Moreover, in the dark, Jiang Deyong felt that Jiang Ci didn't seem to care about these things.According to my previous thoughts and practices, it is impossible to save her anyway.He could hang Jiang Zhe and his group with Jiang's property, but he couldn't shake this granddaughter's mind.

    why?

    When did she grow up like this?

    Why can you refuse so simply?

    Jiang Deyong had countless questions in his heart, but it was no longer important.

    He had to admit that Jiang Ci was even more eye-catching than he imagined.She is very confident, and her unfathomable and superb cooking skills are her confidence. She has already grasped the "Fairy Chef", and there will undoubtedly be more honors in the future.

    When he walked to the door, Jiang Deyong heard a familiar shout from outside.

    Mi Ting was instructing a few helpers to unload goods from a large truck. Instead of the dull and serious expression of the past, Mi Ting was filled with a smile that he hadn't seen in Jixiang Building for a long time.

    Jiang Deyong had a strange feeling in his heart, Mi Ting seemed to have a kind of vitality, which was a kind of power that he missed very much.

    However, he knew that this vitality would not return to Jiang's.

    The autumn sun fell on the skin, not hot, but slightly cold.

    Sowing melons reaps melons, Jiang Deyong said silently in his heart, and also accepted the reality at this moment.

    ...

    Jiang Ci was interrupted by Jiang Deyong, and it took a few minutes to remember what happened before.

    ——The contest questions for the Immortal Cooking finals have come out.

    "Mi Ting." Jiang Ci stopped the chef who entered the shop, "I was just looking for you."

    "What's the matter?" Mi Ting hesitated for a moment, she just saw Jiang Deyong's figure, as long as Jiang Deyong was present, it was hard for her to imagine that there would be a harmonious and happy atmosphere between the two just now.

    However, Jiang Ci's mood didn't seem to be affected.

    "It's about the Immortal Chef Competition." Jiang Ci cut to the chase, "In this final, the contestants are asked to make three dishes and one soup that can serve a banquet. At the same time, they can bring an assistant."

    Jiang Ci looked at Mi Ting: "Are you... willing to assist me in the final?"

    Mi Ting was stunned for a moment, the previous Immortal Chef Competition had a similar situation.

    She doesn't mind being an assistant. She has assisted Jiang Deyong and Tian Mao. In her opinion, being Jiang Ci's assistant is a very lucky thing.

    "Yes." Mi Ting was silent for a few seconds, then nodded seriously.

    ...

    A week before the final, Jiang Ci suspended Feng Qianguan's business. The "Fairy Chef" final needs her to take it seriously.

    The loyal regular customers of Feng Qianguan knew more or less the news of Boss Jiang’s participation in the Immortal Cooking Competition. Although they regretted the closure of the restaurant, they were more expecting Boss Jiang to win the award, and cheered for Boss Jiang in the comments on his account.

    ——When Boss Jiang gets the title, they can call themselves gluttons who have eaten "Fairy Chef" products!

    This is something that can last for a long time!

    Jiang Ci sent all Feng Qianguan's staff home, leaving only Mi Ting in the back kitchen to prepare and polish the details of the dishes.

    Qi Yan also showed nervousness, showing up at the door of the empty store every night, rain or shine, just to take Jiang Ci home for a short distance.In the quiet carriage, he didn't say much, but just the right amount of incense and warm handbags showed his concern.

    In the two rounds of the rematch of the Immortal Cooking Competition, a total of nine episodes were edited and played slowly for more than half a month.

    With each episode aired, the competition influx of a new audience.

    After the last episode of the program was broadcast, the organizing committee released the news of the final broadcast.

    The final of Xianchu will no longer be recorded and broadcasted, but will cooperate with video websites to conduct a full-scale live broadcast, and all the competition conditions can be seen at a glance.

    The day before the finals, the live home page had exceeded one million visits, and on this day, the twelve chefs who participated in the final competition gathered from all over the world to the main arena in City B.
