After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

The opening performance began with the sound of passionate drums.

A group of dancers in traditional costumes walked onto the stage, waving colorful ribbons in their hands and dancing to the rhythm of the music. Every movement was full of power and beauty.

Soon, several dancing lions appeared at the end of the street. Each lion was covered with colorful scales, and the scales sparkled with every movement of the lion.

The lion dancers cooperated well with each other. Following the rhythm of gongs and drums, they made the lion jump, roll and circle, which was breathtaking.

Sometimes they chased each other, sometimes they played with each other, and sometimes they confronted each other fiercely. Every action was lifelike, as if they were really fighting fiercely. The audience was deeply attracted by the performance and applauded and cheered.

This lion dance performance brought the atmosphere to a small climax.

According to the procedure, Magistrate Zhang took the prepared speech and went on stage to speak: "Dear friends, today, we are gathered here to witness the grand occasion of this cooking competition. This is not only a feast of food, but also a cultural exchange! ... Here, I declare that the first cooking competition is officially started! ! "

“Ohh ...

The fierce applause and cheers suddenly created a wave of sound, which made County Magistrate Zhang's cheeks flushed and his face full of joy.

The atmosphere group and the music group started working, and the scene became very lively for a while.

As a drum sounded, a scroll fell from the sky and unfolded from top to bottom. The person in charge of the announcement shouted loudly: "The Chef God Contest - Preliminary Round, officially begins!"

The dyers who had been waiting on both sides of the cooking table immediately pulled back the cloth covering it.

The huge cooking table is filled with a variety of ingredients and cooking tools. The colorful ingredients look particularly tempting under the lights.

The participating chefs wore neat chef uniforms provided by Lun Xiaoyao and tall chef hats, and were fully focused on the competition.

Some of them wield their knives quickly to process the ingredients, while others cook each dish skillfully and meticulously. The air is filled with tempting aromas that make people salivate.

While most of the audience and participating chefs were immersed in the tense and exciting competition, there were some who took themselves too seriously.

In a corner of the audience, several chefs, also wearing chef uniforms, gathered together. Their eyes revealed their disdain for the contestants on the field.

These are all invited chefs, so they do not need to participate in the preliminary round.

That's why I can stand here and make some sarcastic remarks.

One of the middle-aged chefs, with a disdainful smile on his face, whispered: "What a waste of time..."

Another young chef echoed, "Yeah, this competition is a complete waste of time for me. I thought I could meet some experts, but it turned out to be a bunch of rookies competing against each other. I don't care about this level of competition at all."

"Hey, you guys from Jinyanlou are here too?"

"Shouldn't I give County Magistrate Zhang some face? Otherwise, why would I come to such a competition? Isn't this just a pure waste of time?"

"Oh, I think Lun Xiaoyao is organizing this competition because they have too much money and don't know how to spend it. In this cooking competition, I see all kinds of contestants today, including ordinary people. I heard that those who recommend can get 5 taels of silver. How much money is this? Lun Xiaoyao's boss must be crazy."

"If you ask me, what is there to compare? This chef god is none other than Old Li from Jinyanlou." The man said flattering words while his eyes kept scanning Old Li from Jinyanlou.

"That's right. I'd like to congratulate Master Li on winning the championship in advance. Hahahahaha"

"Master Li, you have to show mercy to us when the time comes, hahahaha..."

For a moment, all the chefs around complimented the arrogant Old Li in the middle, saying nice things all the time.

The Jinyan Restaurant is indeed the best restaurant in the area. The decoration is magnificent and it is very cost-effective.

Others focus on heroism!

Therefore, the regular customers of Jinyanlou are all wealthy and powerful local bosses, and the chefs in Jinyanlou have also risen in status.

His monthly salary is the highest among all the chefs in the area, and even the kitchen helpers are paid more than the chefs in many small restaurants.

These people flatter Lao Li with the intention of currying favor with him. If they can enter Jinyanlou, it would mean that they have achieved a well-off life.

Zhao Xiaofei stood aside with his arms folded, listening to those people complimenting Lao Li, and curled his lips slightly.

What a bunch of powerful ghosts...

He looked at the dozens or hundreds of people competing in the field. Although many of them had average cooking skills, which could only be described as home cooking, there were also some people who had some skills at first glance.

It's not as fragile and a waste of time as the people next to me say.

Zhao Xiaofei glanced at the few people in the field who had deft knife skills and nimble hands and feet, and then looked at the participating restaurants on their tables.

On freedom, on freedom, and on freedom...

It seems that this competition organized by Lun Xiaoyao is not as simple as it seems.

At least in his opinion, Lun Xiaoyao is simply a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere. Just look at the knife skills of these few people, which are in no way inferior to those of some old masters who have practiced knife skills for more than ten years.

Seeing how skillfully these people stir the wok and put the ingredients in, it doesn't seem like the food they cook is bad. It is very interesting that apart from some snacks and special dishes that are well-known since the opening of Lun Xiaoyao, there is no news of any special dishes cooked by a famous chef.

Then this cooking competition is likely to be a plot by Lun Xiaoyao...

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaofei glanced at the crowd next to him who were still chattering non-stop and completely ignoring the players in the field.

The game on the field is in full swing, but there is nothing interesting to see just watching these hundreds of people juggling the bowl.

Just when many onlookers began to feel bored, music came from the stage.

"Oh? Is this another performance?"

“It feels like it’s black!”

"I guess Lun Xiaoyao came up with this because he was worried that we would get bored!"

"Then we are in for a treat. I believe that this Lun Xiaoyao will not be too bad!"

"Hei~You're right buddy."

As a fresh and pleasant piano sound was heard, the actors came on stage.

It started with a man and a woman holding a child. The man bought two jars of wine in the store, one for celebration and one to bury in the ground.

Then, when the girl grew up, the boy and girl met for the first time. They looked at each other from afar with affection in their eyes.

One can tell at a glance that the two are in love and are attracted to each other.

Next, a woman dressed as a matchmaker came on stage, holding a wedding character in her hand.

The people below: "Oh, this is the matchmaker coming to discuss marriage!"
