Siheyuan: I am invincible with my portable space

This National Food Festival is more grand than previous selection competitions.

Not only is the venue exquisitely decorated, but even the tableware and furnishings are carefully selected.

When taking their seats, everyone was presented with a set of exquisite chef uniforms, which to a certain extent enhanced the contestants' sense of pride and belonging.

Faced with this extra preparation, Chen Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, knowing that this was more than just a formality of respecting them.

Everyone put on brand new uniforms and stood in front of the assembly point set by the person in charge, waiting for the person in charge to start their speech.

The person in charge spoke calmly but encouragingly: "First of all, congratulations to all the finalists for winning this position. Standing behind you is not only a challenge, but also a recognition and expectation.

There are newcomers here as well as veterans who have participated in national cooking competitions many times before..."

“I won’t say any more.

"The person in charge paused and said, "Before we start this event, please remember a golden rule. Even if competition is everywhere, no matter what conflicts or grudges have occurred in the past, please put them aside for the time being.

"

“Because when this party is over, you will be free to deal with any problems between you.

Now is our time to show off our cooking skills, just give it your all, it doesn’t matter whether we win or lose.

"The person in charge's earnest words made everyone fall into deep thought. They understood that this was a high respect for the national honor and should not be easily **.

After hearing these words, all the participants loudly echoed the request of the person in charge.

Although there may still be voices of disapproval in their hearts, they also know how to remain rational and considerate at this particular moment in history and avoid causing any disputes that are detrimental to the country's reputation and their own honor.

No one wants to have their entire career affected by a small misunderstanding.

This trade-off greatly enhances the cohesion and discipline of the entire team.

After confirming everyone's agreement and cooperation, the person in charge nodded with confidence.

His rich experience in hosting national celebrations over the years has taught him that every detail needs to be carefully considered.

The person in charge then turned to the main topic, gave a detailed introduction to the general process of this national banquet, and finally assigned specific positions to each participant.

When he received his work assignment, although he did not express any opinions or objections, he was full of anticipation.

Soon after arriving at the work area, he found that the cooking utensils he was going to use were neatly laid out on the table. This was like a shot of adrenaline injected into his heart, inspiring his professional confidence.

When it comes to cooking, good cooking equipment is not only a factor in improving efficiency, but also the most intuitive display of professionalism.

In this era centered on innovation and pursuit of excellence, it is undoubtedly a great fortune and satisfaction to come across such effective work equipment.

He knew that this not only symbolized the affirmation of personal value and potential, but more importantly, this banquet would become an important stage for them to showcase their talents and skills.

At this moment, every effort will be an opportunity to add a touch of glory to the nation.

Facing a series of tests that are about to begin, Chen Feng is already gearing up, full of determination and hope.

This is why Chen Mu always brings his own kitchen utensils whenever he goes out to host an event - because other people's tableware is not easy to use.

Now Chen Mu feels that these things are really good. He feels that he is in the right position and listens attentively to the organizer's detailed arrangements of everyone's responsibilities.

Even after everyone was clear about their work content, the organizer still felt uneasy and conducted another group simulation. This was like a fashion show exercise, with each step having a clear time schedule and clear instructions.

Chen Mu felt a chill down his spine - his main job was to cook.

Although the state banquet is called "state", it has its own set of strict rules.

Although the procedures were complicated, Chen Mu still followed the regulations sincerely. After all, once you get used to it, it becomes easy. You just have to pay attention to the situation and timing.

These nine people are mainly responsible for preparing the dishes, while fruit plates and snacks are handled by dedicated personnel and are not related to their duties as chefs.

The organizers hold practice sessions in advance in order to familiarize everyone with the work as soon as possible and avoid problems during the formal service.

In the past two days, Chen Mu has been remaking the same dish and repeating the same few words over and over again. Time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye it was the day for the opening of the state banquet.

Although the state banquet was scheduled for seven o'clock, everyone got up and started early - preparing food takes a lot of time.

The first things to be served at the banquet are the cold dishes. After they are served, they are arranged in rows and then handed over to the table in batches by the waiters.

Everyone was silent and held their breath, putting away their joking faces, and everyone's face was serious.

Chen Mu sensed the tense atmosphere. When the guests came to welcome the banquet, the welcome music instantly filled the venue, accompanied by the passionate performance of the band, warmly welcoming every guest on the invitation letter to enter.

The waiter had a polite standard smile on his face and briskly guided the guests to their seats.

The preparations are complete, signaling the start of the banquet.

At the host's instruction, everyone stood up and saluted. The national anthem played melodiously and the five-star red flag fluttered in the air, announcing the official opening of the state banquet.

In the following session, the band began to play the national anthem. Everyone remained still, stood quietly, stopped any activities in their hands, and sang loudly together.

As the ceremony was completed smoothly, people's postures became slightly more relaxed and less solemn.

The person in charge specially assigned some service staff to be on standby at the table.

The wine that had been poured before was brought to the table by the waiter, who stood silently by the side waiting for orders.

What follows is a process that has been passed down for many years. Whenever there is an important occasion, there will always be a speaker to express congratulations or share his thoughts.

After completing all this, the banquet finally came to an end - the first dish served was the exquisite hibiscus and bamboo shoot soup.

Chen Mu watched as the judges took their first sip and saw surprise in their eyes—enough to show that the flavor of the soup had been recognized.

The person responsible for making this soup was overjoyed. There is nothing more joyful than receiving compliments on your homemade food.

Afterwards, a plate of tender shark fins and three carefully selected silk threads were presented, followed by two huge lobsters.

After tasting these two delicacies, we had the coconut braised chicken prepared by Chen Mu.

After receiving guidance from the service staff, Chen Mu immediately started his cooking journey.

The whole process went very smoothly without any mistakes.

When the final product was completed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he seemed nonchalant on the surface, he was actually a little nervous due to the atmosphere.

Fortunately, the performance was solid this time, and the next step is to wait for the final results.

Fortunately, the diners didn’t spend too much time tasting the food and got the answer in just an hour in total.

The leader in charge walked towards them with a smile on his face.

The nine chefs sitting at the table couldn't help but puff out their chests and raise their eyebrows, and everyone was waiting for the final result to be revealed with great anticipation.

Who will get the best honor?

“The food we prepared this time was very popular with the guests. They praised us endlessly and believed that each state banquet was getting better and better, especially the silky shark fin and fragrant coconut chicken prepared by the two of you.

"

After hearing this, everyone looked at the chef of the two dishes with envy.

The feeling of envy is revealed on the surface, but has not yet penetrated deep into the soul and turned into jealousy.

After all, their skills have their strengths and weaknesses, and the key is to continue to improve.

As expected, after Chen Mu's expectations, his excellent cooking skills were unanimously recognized by the guests. He was happy in his heart but his face remained calm.

In this situation, an exaggerated smile of joy can easily arouse jealousy or dissatisfaction in others, so it is safer to remain low-key.

"Excuse me, can I go home now?"

The person in charge's response was undoubtedly affirmative, and he also asked the guests to go to the kitchen to collect their prizes first, which was the support that the organizer specially prepared to give.

Hearing this, even the bystanders couldn't help but smile and nod.

It was a pleasant surprise to everyone present that such exquisite and practical kitchen utensils could be given away for free.

These kitchen utensils are usually not available in the market.

Holding the high-end cooking supplies allocated to him, Chen Mu immediately got on his bicycle and rushed home.

As the party far away, a slight delay may force you to walk.

I haven't been home and see my children for many days, and I can't hide the complex emotions of worry in my heart.

The old man at the old house found that he had not seen Xiaomu in the past few days, and he could not even find any news about him in the second cafeteria.

I originally planned to find out the situation from other employees, but the answers I got were vague and full of concealment.

Therefore, when seeing this scene, the old man's curiosity increased instead of decreased - could it be that Xiao Mu had done something important again?

When Chen's mother was practicing walking with the child, the old man approached quickly and asked with great curiosity:

"Mu Ma, I haven't seen Mu'er recently. Where did he go?" The old man suddenly interrupted with his question.

She was in a good mood when she thought that Lin Yeming was about to return.

"Xiao Yeming will be back soon. He has some things to deal with so he is busy outside.

"After hearing this, the three uncles thought that their ideas were exactly the same.

He knew for sure that Lin Yeming must have been out, otherwise the canteen would not have asked Ma Wei to take over the job.

However, he didn't know where the young man was going. Seeing that Aunt Lin was in a good mood, she jokingly said, "That's great. Your child really brings you honor. Unlike the one in my family... Alas, people's minds are different and everyone has their own ideas.

"By the way, has Ye Ming been invited to attend a banquet hosted by his superiors again? Or, is he compiling the latest diet therapy book?" These are the only two things the three uncles could think of.

But in my heart I was guessing: Ye Ming’s life might not be limited to this.

Aunt Lin's face was filled with pride. Having such children would make her feel very satisfied for the rest of her life. She had always been humble, but she could not bear to miss the opportunity to show her pride this time.

"You are wrong. Ye Ming was not invited to the banquet this time. His role is to be the chief chef of the banquet.

” Just one word instantly condensed the air.
