If you become a monster, you will succeed

"I don't accept it!" Xiong Shoushan roared angrily, even forgetting that this was a "sacred" fighting place.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, he and the Cihang Gang had taken advantage of the loopholes in this rural fighting place to cheat more than once over the years.

If you take advantage of too many loopholes in the rules, you will naturally lose some respect for the rules.

Xiong Shoushan's roar obviously made the three judges quite unhappy, even though they were just gourmets with the word "jun" who had just entered the threshold of the high-end round. Above them, there were Wang, Xing, Chen, Yao, Zu, Yu, Qing, Huang, and Di. And so on, but after all, they have entered the first level. You can easily get a professorship in those famous universities. The reason why you go to this kind of field is nothing more than to add "supporting the development of food in backward towns and villages" to your resume. The entry is just for the convenience of continuing to climb up.

Xiong Shanjun, a chef who has not even been rated as a special chef, dared to object to the assessment on the spot. This is like a candidate suddenly standing up in the college entrance examination room and yelling at the invigilator for cheating.

However, they had to endure it. After all, the contestants had all complained about cheating. Even if they had to wear small shoes afterwards, at least they still had to deal with it on the surface.

The staff at Douwei Market was a little helpless about this situation, and immediately prepared to contact him for review. At this time, Sun Xingzhe jumped out, pointed at the remaining dishes and said:

"No need to go to so much trouble. Isn't there room for both players to eat each other? Wouldn't it be nice to let this stupid guy try our Chen Shanzang's grilled buns?"

"Just eat!" Xiong Shoushan had already realized that he was impulsive at this time, but the words had already been spoken. Even if he admitted defeat, he could not erase the fact that he had offended the three judges, so he simply picked up his share of toasted buns. He stuffed it into his mouth.

At first, the action was extremely violent, but as the steamed bun pieces continued to roll and smash in the big mouth, Xiong Shoushan's chewing frequency gradually dropped. At this time, Chen Shanzang also picked up Xiong Shoushan's honey cake and divided it. Half of it was given to Shun Lie, and he ate it in small bites, nodding his head as he ate.

Shun Lie's eyes twitched when he saw it, and he immediately slapped Chen Shanzang on the forehead and sighed:

"Why are you nodding! Do you know why you won?"

"I don't know." Chen Shanzang shook his head confidently, then took another bite of cake and said in a daze:

"Actually, I think this cake is quite delicious. Well, it's better than my steamed bun slices."

Hearing Chen Shanzang's words, Xiong Shoushan, who was already like a weathered stone statue, suddenly trembled and looked at Chen Shanzang in disbelief, while Shun Lie shook his head helplessly and glanced at the three judges first. Seeing that they didn't show any embarrassed expressions, he said:

"This stupid guy is indeed better than you at desserts, but he has a problem with his examination of questions."

"What's wrong with me! You said I'm not as good as him, I agree, but the ratio of smoked to roasted is very accurate, and I definitely didn't deviate from the topic!" Xiong Shoushan became anxious when he heard Shun Lie's words, Shun Lie But he just placed the honey cake roll with a small bite on it on the plate, and said with an expression like a primary school student who was reading the article off topic:

"I'm not talking about barbecue, I'm talking about dim sum... Can this thing really be considered a dim sum if you can only eat it with the first bite? The taste is to make people feel delicious at the first bite, yes, but you won't want to eat it after one bite. Is the thing you take the second bite really called a snack? Why is the candied haws wrapped in sugar instead of sweeter fruit? Do you still need me to teach you? "

"I lost!" Xiong Shoushan was like a prisoner on the set of Conan who had listened to the whole set of reasoning. He knelt down with a bang. The Cihang Gang on the side wanted to say something, but they were intimidated by the majesty of the Douwei Arena. , could only close his mouth, but the eyes that stared at the venue next door were obviously unwilling.

…

However, Chen Shanzang and the others did not intend to stay any longer. They came to the parking lot to pick up the car and then drove westbound again.

"Very proud, right?"

While the vehicle was driving, Shun Lie suddenly said something for no reason, which made Chen Shanzang, who was still in the joy of winning the battle, suddenly tremble and look at Shun Lie inexplicably.

Shun Lie looked at the clear eyes that had never experienced any beating from society and sighed:

"You can win this time entirely because of Xiong Shoushan's own mistakes, and your steamed buns themselves are of the type where the more good things you eat, the better you can taste them. Only then can you win by chance, but if you think you can accept it, If you can still win like this, it would be a big mistake!”

"Yes, I know." After listening to Shun Lie's words, Chen Shanzang also came around and nodded in agreement, but Shun Lie shook his head and said:

"you do not know!"

As he said that, he turned around and gave Sun Xingzhe a "you tell me" look, and then concentrated on driving.

When Sun Xingzhe saw this, he didn't talk nonsense. He just took out a bulging small plastic bag from his pocket and handed it to Chen Shanzang.

This plastic bag is a very common snack packaging bag, but it has obviously been torn open and resealed by some kind of high-heat internal force, and now it looks bulging.

Chen Shanzang looked a little unsure of how to respond. Sun Xingzhe just showed a meaningful smile and said: "Tear it open and smell it."

"Oh..." Although he felt that Sun Walker's smile was a bit charming, Chen Shanzang, who felt that Sun Walker would not cheat him, still stretched out his hand to tear him apart.

Shun Lie did not realize the seriousness of the problem at this time, until the packaging bag was torn open, and an indescribable and strange smell suddenly filled the entire car.

"Blank!"

Shun Lie immediately turned on the car's air conditioner to exhaust, and then glared at Sun Xingzhe, who had already entered a breath-holding state. Sun Xingzhe just smiled dryly and spread his hands, and with a fist, all the odors in the car gathered together in a strong wind and disappeared. A black dot the size of a grape seed was thrown out of the car by Sun Xingzhe.

"Cough cough, cough cough..."

Chen Shanzang, who was almost breathless, finally came to his senses at this moment. Just as he was about to open the car window to breathe in fresh air, the stench exploding outside the car smeared his face, and he almost fainted.

But after all, he was a graduate of Shaolin Temple. After holding back his breath and trying to adjust his breath, he finally recovered and looked at Sun Xingzhe with resentful eyes.

Regarding his expression, Sun Xingzhe just spread his hands, while Shun Lie said seriously:

"What do you think would happen if this smell exploded around you while you were baking buns?"

"Ah?" Chen Shanzang didn't expect to hear such a question suddenly. He hesitated for a moment and then said honestly:

"You can't do steamed buns...ah, this..."

Chen Shanzang was not a fool. He had already mentioned this and realized the crux of the problem. Shun Lie didn't waste any time and sent the previously recorded video to Chen Shanzang's mobile phone, and then explained:

"If Sun Xingzhe hadn't discovered it in time and contained most of the odor, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have a chance to bring out the food today."

"Does the Food Association not care?" Chen Shanzang asked a very innocent question. Seeing this situation, Shun Lie could only explain sincerely:

"Of course Guan will take care of it, and you can also apply for arbitration, but as long as there is no proof that the contestant next door has a connection with the Cihang Gang, it will at most be classified as an accident, and as an accident, both parties are equally threatened. Yes, the conclusion is that you didn’t even do a good job in avoiding the bad smell, and you didn’t even need the arbitration to blow the whistle, so you have no chance of winning.

"It's like when playing football, as long as you can't prove that the opponent deliberately picked a terrain that you are not good at, then the terrain of both sides is the same, and no matter how you appeal, it will only be the interface of the losing dog.

"Not to mention that you are going to play away from home in a foreign country. It is a luxury to hope that the local food association will favor you. Sun Xingzhe and I can at most help you eliminate some common troubles, but after all, there will still be details. You need to be careful about the problem yourself.”

Listening to Shun Lie's words, Chen Shanzang couldn't help but lower his head. Shun Lie did not disturb his thoughts, but instead turned his attention to Sun Xingzhe.

"Why are you looking at me?" Sun Xingzhe was a little embarrassed by Shun Lie, so he couldn't help asking. Shun Lie tilted his head and said in a rather surprised tone:

"Speaking of it, I'm quite surprised by how you handled it. You didn't just throw the stink bomb in that stupid guy's face. This is not like what I heard about the old Sun!"

"What you said, since it is Chen Shanzang's turn to take over, then naturally I will not intervene. Whether he loses or wins, it is his battle. As for what I am going to do... Hehe, when did you give birth? Is what I smelled just now all an illusion?”

Sun Xingzhe said, with a very cunning smile on his face. Seeing this, Shun Lie also laughed. Chen Shanzang, who was still depressed because of seeing the dangers of the world, raised his head inexplicably. He didn't know that the two of them were together. Why are you laughing? But that night, he knew——

Gourmet Journal (Chanyuan Branch): A major food poisoning incident occurred in Chanyuan County. Mr. Xiong Shoushan, a well-known local pastry chef, accidentally ate unknown ingredients while attending a banquet at the Cihang Foundation headquarters, causing food poisoning to 34 people. The symptoms were abdominal pain and difficulty Tolerable, and there is a strong rancid smell all over the poisoned person. The poisoned person has been sent to Luojiashan Medical Service Center for treatment. The source of the poison cannot be confirmed yet. If you have similar symptoms, please go to a medical institution immediately...

…

"Shunlie, where should we go next?"

The white business car was running on the highway. Hearing that Chen Shanzang had only just thought of asking this kind of question, Shun Lie, who was already accustomed to this natural character, sighed, reached out and clicked a few times on the car computer, and immediately there was a picture of the Central Plains. The map was slowly rolled out.

As several lines of passwords were entered, roads were highlighted in red and connected in series. Shun Lie also pointed at those lines and said:

“Although the westbound line is called a line, it is not just one, but a total of seven routes compiled by the Central Plains food industry’s young and strong faction based on the resources at hand and the locations of well-known domestic restaurants.

"The seed contestants like you who have gained some superficial insights from Qitian Kitchen Classics will go through a round of rough selection. The group with the spirit of challenge will be assisted by the collaborators selected by the association like me, and in these seven points Only those who can choose one of the routes and successfully reach Ruoshui City will be qualified to leave this small garden in the Central Plains and truly enter the new world of cooking.

“After I go abroad, my plan is to keep walking in the southwest direction, but there are no specific route requirements. Even if you want to go east, it’s no problem. In short, I want to challenge other countries and improve myself in the next few years.

"However, it should be noted that although there are no hard requirements, there are still four countries that must be visited. It is considered a phased achievement challenge."

"Which four?" Chen Shanzang became interested when he heard this and immediately asked.

Shun Lie stretched out his hand and swiped on the screen, and the Central Plains map immediately turned into a world map. Then, four points also appeared on the map——

“According to discussions within the association, as the entry threshold for participating in the World Championships, there are four landmarks——

"First of all, it is our own territory in the Central Plains, the Wuzhuangguan Training Base located on the outskirts of Ruoshui City. In charge here is a boss who has both the title of 'ancestor' for gourmets and the title of 'immortal' for chefs. He is one of the national treasures of humankind. The great Immortal Zhenyuan is very good at cultivating fruits and vegetables and is known as the 'ancestor of earth immortals'. He is not proficient in anything grown in the land. If he can use the ingredients there to make a dish that will satisfy the Immortal Zhenyuan. Dishes mean that you have mastered the use of fruits and vegetables. This is the 'Vegetable Trial'.

"Then there is the Yingzhou Kingdom of Dongsheng Shenzhou. As one of the three overseas islands, although the food style here is not suitable for competitions, it has considerable accomplishments in seafood. As long as it can become famous there, the processing of seafood will be easy. There won't be any shortcomings, this is called the 'Trial of the Sea'.

"Then there is the lion and camel country in Hezhou, Xiniu. It is rich in wild animal resources and is especially good at game cooking. In addition to cattle, cooking methods for any animal ingredients can be found there. It is also known as the 'Trial of Meat' '.

"Finally, there is the White Flag Country in Luzhou, Beiju. This place is a wonder born in the gourmet wilderness of Luzhou, Beiju. The dishes here are particularly good at matching and can stimulate the five senses at the same time. If the previous three places are... If you study the cooking methods of specific ingredients, then this is the place where you will be taught how to use these methods to please the judges, so it is called the 'Trial of Combination'. Don't think that the word 'please' is too flattering. In the final analysis, not everyone Everyone has the strength of the Monkey King and can impress the judges with their undisputed deliciousness. Dishes with similar tastes, even if they are just better looking, are enough to be the key to victory in the end."

"That is to say, as long as you clear these four major trials, you can basically guarantee your place in the national competition, right?" Sun Xingzhe looked at the map and nodded thoughtfully, but Shun Lie shook his head and said:

"Don't think too simplistically. The reason why this long-distance race lasts for ten years is not just because the next Bodhi Conference will be held in ten years. If you go straight to the four major trials regardless of anything, you will only be defeated by an overwhelming disadvantage. It means nothing except breaking your confidence!"

"I understand, the four major trials are bosses. If you want to beat the boss, you have to kill monsters to gain experience on the way." Chen Shanzang nodded as if he had an epiphany, and Shun Lie also looked at him with approval, but at this moment, A figure suddenly appeared in his eyes. Before he could react, Sun Xingzhe jumped to the passenger seat and stepped on the brake for him.

The whole car moved forward a certain distance amid the bumps before it came to a stop. At this time, it was only two or three meters away from the man blocking the road!

"You are looking for death!" Shunlie first checked the driving recorder, then stuck his head out and shouted angrily.

When the man heard this, he was not surprised but happy, and said to everyone in the car:

"The great masters of the Food Association want to make decisions for my Gao family! The Gao family, the Gao family, the Gao family's son-in-law has rebelled!"
