Chapter 31 The competition begins

Here Zhou Mowei finally returned home with two large suitcases.

"Mom, Dad, I'm back." Zhou Mowei patted the door and shouted.

"Coming, coming." After a while, there was a burst of urgent footsteps.

"Oh my dear, my dear girl misses her mother so much. Let's walk home." Liu Mei opened the door and saw that her little cotton-padded jacket was indeed back. She stepped forward and hugged her.

"Hehe, I miss you too, mom, where's my dad?" Zhou Mowei asked after entering the courtyard and seeing no one at home.

"Your dad is still in the store. He comes home late every day and there is nothing wrong with him. I will call him right away and ask him to come back. Your sister-in-law has tidied up your house and washed the sheets.

You bought a new summer quilt, go and have a look." Liu Mei took the phone, thought for a moment and said.

"Well, where are my eldest brother and sister-in-law? The two little guys are not here either." Zhou Mowei asked.

"They're all in their own shop. You didn't tell me what time you'd be back. I'll just call them and ask your elder brother to make delicious food for you." Liu Mei replied.

"Hmm, let me go to the room to put things away first, mom." After Zhou Mowei said that, she took the box and went upstairs.

The Zhou family's house is also a small courtyard, self-built. It was built brick by brick by Zhou Weimin. It was built in a very fashionable manner. He had long considered that there were many children and it would be inconvenient to live there when he grew up, so at that time

The design is quite trendy.

Zhou Weimin and his wife live on the first floor, and Zhou Mofan and his family of four live on the second floor, with a small balcony extending outside. There are two small suites on the third floor, for brother and sister Zhou Mochen and Zhou Mochen. The suites have a bedroom, a washroom, and a small study room.

The building also has a large balcony, planted with flowers, plants and grape vines. It took more than ten years of continuous renovation to achieve its current appearance.

The yard downstairs is also quite large. Someone had previously offered a price that made Zhou Weimin's heart beat. After thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't sell it. At that time, the Zhou family was in a difficult situation. They needed money, so Zhou Weimin gritted his teeth and endured the sale. He said it was for sale.

It's gone as soon as it's rooted. This yard was inherited from Zhou Mochen and his grandfather, and the house was demolished and rebuilt.

"Brother, I'm home. I'm alone outside. You have to take care of yourself. Don't work too hard. You can't make enough money." Zhou Mowei packed up her things and sat on the swing on the balcony. This was what her brother did for her.

. He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Zhou Mochen.

"Yeah, I got it. Have a good rest at home. Don't worry about me. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll send it to you." Zhou Mochen replied after seeing Zhou Mowei's message.

"I know, / show your feelings." Zhou Mochen smiled when he saw the message.

"Auntie, we are back. Niuniu misses you."

Hearing the little moan coming from the yard, Zhou Mowei knew that her eldest brother and his family must be back. Her cute little nephew and niece were also back. So she went back to the room, took out the things her brother had brought back and went downstairs.

, go down and enjoy the warmth of home.

Time flies, it has been three days since Zhou Mowei left.

On this day, a phone call woke up Zhou Mochen who was reading a book.

"Lao Zhou, the renderings are out, come to the company now."

"Okay, see you later!"

Zhou Mochen hung up Yang Shao's phone, called a car and went to Yang Shao's company.

I went directly to Xiao Zeyuan's office on the eighth floor. I saw Yang Shao and Xiao Zeyuan both there.

"Yang Zi." Zhou Mochen shouted when he saw Yang Shao.

"Lao Zhou, you kid, didn't you say you don't need to pay in advance? This is our own company." Yang Shao punched Zhou Mochen.

"Our company must also follow rules." Zhou Mochen glanced at Yang Shao.

"Okay, I know you have principles. Let's take a look at the 3D real-life renderings, which are perfectly restored one to one. It's awesome." Yang Shao raised his eyebrows.

"It's not bad. I'm very satisfied. By the way, Yang Zi, I want to do it to the maximum extent. There is no blind spot in health and safety. Please help me worry about it." Zhou Mochen looked at the renderings carefully and was very satisfied.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Yang Shao patted his chest.

"Thank you!" Zhou Mochen said thank you.

"You're welcome, just cook me a meal anytime, and sell me some tea too. Sister Xin is showing off to me," Yang Shao said.

"Okay, if you go to the store to get the food tomorrow, you will have it." Zhou Mochen's eyes sparkled after he finished speaking.

As the competition time gets closer, Zhou Mochen's time schedule becomes more and more compact. A lot of study and training make Zhou Mochen feel that his life is very fulfilling. He changes his cooking method every day, from trying dishes alone to now trying dishes.

The number of teams gradually increased.

Murong Ruoxue, Li Xin, Su Qian, Yang Shao, and Liu Xing slowly joined the food tasting team and lived a painful and happy life until the day before the competition.

"Lao Zhou, I really can't eat anymore. Can you please stop doing so much? My weight has skyrocketed in the past few days. If I didn't insist on exercising every day, I would have become a ball." Yang Shao held his stomach in Zhou Mochen's yard.

Howling dryly.

"I didn't ask you to eat them all. Just try each dish. If you're good, you won't be able to stop eating the ones you like." Zhou Mochen looked disgusted.

"That's right, look at your eating habits, can't you just learn from us and be more elegant?" Li Xin also complained.

Su Qian smiled and said nothing, her eyes already represented what she wanted to say.

"You deserve it!" Murong Ruoxue finally concluded.

Jiang Yingying was snickering beside her. She slowly tasted this and that.

"Hey, look at you, I'm not afraid of wasting. Look at Xingzi, don't you think he's not good at eating? Why are you just talking about me?" Yang Shao pointed at Liu Xing who was still eating vegetables in large chunks.

"I can't get fat by eating, haha!" Liu Xing said slowly.

Bang, Yang Shao felt that he had been killed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Brother Mo Chen, the competition is tomorrow, so work hard." Murong Ruoxue encouraged.

"Master, come on! Master, you are the best!" Jiang Yingying said, raising her two small fists.

"Old Zhou, we all support you. Don't forget, the provincial competition is not our goal. Our goal is the finals. Don't fail in the municipal competition tomorrow." Several people looked at Zhou Mochen and nodded fiercely.

Nodding. After getting along with each other these days, they also like Zhou Mochen's character, Zhou Mochen's food, and Zhou Mochen's magical scenes more and more. They feel that this friend is worth making.

"Thank you." Zhou Mochen looked at everyone with a smile and said only two words.

"Teacher, it's so late, what can I do for you?" Yan Dongming said respectfully after receiving the teacher's call.

"Have you arranged all the matches for tomorrow?" came Qin Zongsheng's angry voice.

"Well, don't worry, teacher, I've checked everything and there's nothing missing," Yan Dongming replied.

"That little guy also participated?" Qin Zongsheng asked.

"Yes, I've already signed up." Yan Dongming was very surprised as to why his teacher was paying attention to a very immature little guy.

"Find someone to record his cooking process into a video and send it to me tomorrow," Qin Zongsheng ordered.

"It seems that there is no need to find someone specially. The little girl from Murong's family is his little crush. She came to me specially before and said that she wanted to record a video for Zhou Mochen. I agreed." Yan Dongming explained.

"Okay. It's okay." Qin Zongsheng said and hung up the phone.

Qin Zongsheng, who was far away in the imperial capital, hung up the phone and walked slowly to the courtyard. He looked at the stars in the sky, thought of that simple dish, tasted the subtle artistic conception, and sighed.

"I hope you can surprise me. This industry has been in a cocoon for too long."

In the morning, Zhou Mochen didn't go out for a run anymore. He simply steamed buns and cooked porridge. After breakfast, he took out a special knife. He opened the knife box made of leather and wood, and neatly displayed a series of sharp and handsome knives.

They are arranged in rows, and the word "Chen" engraved on the handle of the knife was added by Zhuzhu later.

This is the first time it has fully demonstrated its sharpness to the world, and it is also the first time Zhou Mochen has shown his fangs to the world's food culture.

"Old Zhou, are you ready?" Yang Shao and others pushed open the door and entered.

"Let's go." Zhou Mochen carried the box and followed Yang Shao into the car.

At the competition venue, Yan Dongming was urgently arranging staff to conduct a final inspection. The triennial youth cooking competition has received attention from many aspects. This is to provide talents to the industry. Many wild people want to participate in this feast.

Shine your glory and find yourself a good guide.

At 8:30, all the audience and contestants had entered the venue. This competition was also a visual feast for foodies. The 800 audience seats were full. The contestants were also getting ready backstage.

"Gentlemen and ladies, I am Tong Ziyu, the host of this competition. Thank you all for coming."

"Now I announce that the triennial National Youth Culinary Competition, the Sioux City preliminaries will now begin. Contestants are invited to enter." The host Tong Ziyu, dressed in a costume, announced the start of the competition.

"Contestants, we have entered the venue. Please hurry up and go to your operating stations according to the number plates on your wrists." The staff reminded urgently.

As the contestants entered the venue one by one, the audience burst into warm applause.

Zhou Mochen stood out among the more than 20 people. Suddenly, another burst of shouts erupted from the audience, and after simple identification, it was found that they were all girls' voices.

"It seems that our little brother is very popular with girls." Tong Ziyu joked. Then she calmed down the audience's emotions and introduced again.

"Welcome contestants, please allow me to introduce the judges of this competition. Master Yang Caixia Yang of Zhenwei Restaurant, Master Mo Husheng Mo of Starry Sky Hotel, and Master Zhang Chengzhi of Zhangji Private Restaurant. As well as our Sioux City Culinary Association

Chang Yan Dongming." Tong Ziyu introduced the four people sitting at the judges' table one by one.

The four of them are also among the top three level star chefs. Except for Yan Dongming, the other three were randomly selected by the judges from each province.

"This competition is divided into three games. The top three players with the total points in the three games can participate in the provincial promotion competition one month later. Now let's draw the items for the first competition. Please invite Ms. Chen Ronghua from the Suzhou Notary Office.

Draw for us." Tong Ziyu invited the staff of the notary office to draw the project to show fairness.
