Chapter 401: Hungry

"Manager Xu, everything is up to you." Xu Yang didn't expect that he would exist as a mascot one day. Liang Guoyun and others solemnly handed over the tomato sauce and the freshly fried pork chops to Xu Yang.
After all, Manager Xu has something to do with Kunyang’s Mr. Zhou. Liang Guoyun meant that he was asked to pass the tomato sauce as a representative. At any rate, it was because of Mr. Xu’s face that he might get one or two more friendship points.
"Uh...I will try my best."
On the other side, André's tomato sauce and meatballs with side dishes are also ready.
"Boss, really let us score?" Xiao Cai looked at the tonkatsu and meatballs in front of him, not knowing how to choose.
On the one hand, there are snacks made by the top chefs of Copper City, and on the other hand, the craftsmanship of Michelin chefs that can only be enjoyed abroad. Xiao Cai thinks that today is probably the peak of his life as a foodie.
"Forget Comrade Xiao Cai, you are the director of our R&D office. You should have the majority of the decision-making power for the tomato sauce." Zhou Kun still did not forget to tease.
"Boss, Aunt Huang is next to me. If you are too idle, you can ask her to arrange more blind dates for you."
"Ah...what are you waiting for? Tonkatsu and meatballs won't taste good when they are cold."
After a tasting, everyone present including Zhou Kun and Qian Lina looked at Lao Jin. After all, Lao Jin was the most qualified person to speak among the ten judges.
"The pork chop is tender, crispy on the outside while maintaining the juiciness of the pork inside. It is very good. The meatballs are also well done, retaining the unique creamy aroma of beef. But these are all evaluations of the side dishes, since Xiao Zhou The topic is tomato sauce, so if you want to give them a fair chance to compare the two, you can’t just look at these side dishes, please give me a bowl of white rice."
Everyone here may not know that the topic of this competition is a partnership between Lao Jin, Lao Zhou and Zhou Kun. The reason for the ketchup competition is very simple. In a week, the Jinlanzhihua travel bus will be once again. I set off. This time it is said to be traveling to Erhai Lake. The old ladies left for about a week.
How to eat the left-behind giant babies in the communities such as Zhou Kun and his son and Lao Jin has become a huge problem. At this time, Lao Jin proposed to boil some beef sauce for everyone, which won unanimous praise from the men in the community. This also gave Zhou Kun is an inspiration. The beef sauce is delicious but can't be eaten all at once. Isn't there a group of chefs here waiting to buy tomatoes? Otherwise, a tomato bibimbap sauce will come out, and Lao Jin’s beef sauce will be added at that time. Whether it’s bibimbap or the following, it will last the time when the flower of Jinlan is away.
"Boss, don't we also have to eat white rice?" For Xiao Cai, how can we miss the food at present.
"Whatever you eat, give me a piece of white rice." This tomato bibimbap sauce may be related to Zhou Kun's food for the next week, so be careful when choosing naturally.
Zhou Kun had already decided secretly, and waited a moment which ketchup was best served, let them cook a little more and take it back, just enough to survive this period of time.
Accompanied by the hot white rice, Zhou Kun carefully tasted the bibimbap sauce from both sides. Although the tomato sauce from Chef Lu's side was sweet and sour, but because of the taste of Tongcheng people, it was still light. Naturally, the sauce used for tonkatsu is not a problem, but as a bibimbap sauce, the taste is a little worse, and the taste is too weak.
André’s tomato sauce has the foundation of a red stew sauce. The taste of black pepper and onion is very strong, but it is still dominated by the sourness of the tomato, plus a lot of sugar, so it is clever It combines the four senses of sweet, sour and salty, which is very suitable for serving with rice.
"Now that the judges have started scoring?" Xu Yang winked at Zhou Kun and the others in a timely manner. Zhou Kun did not move at all, and directly voted for Andre's side. Xu Yang hated it. , This guy really doesn't give any face.
On the contrary, Jinlanzhihua voted four votes for Chef Lu, one vote for Andre, and the remaining three people in Kunyang also voted for Andre.
Now Andre has five votes, and Lao Jin's vote can at most guarantee that Chef Lu will be tied with Andre.
"I give this vote to Andre."
Lao Jin’s decision surprised everyone, including Zhou Kun. Later, Lao Jin explained:
Since I’m a judge, I have to be fair and just. Xiao Zhou’s tomato sauce will be put on the market in the future. , Other people here can vote as they like, but I can’t.

Lao Jin looked at Liang Guoyun apologetically and continued:
Congcheng citizens like sweet taste, and Chef Lu’s sauce is also very good, but Xiao Zhou’s tomato bibimbap sauce is destined to not only flow to Tongcheng. After joining Copper City, everyone's acceptance of sweet sauce will decrease a lot, so sales will definitely decline."
"But Andre's tomato sauce is different. The moderately sweet and salty taste can be eaten even if it is out of Copper City, so I will give the last vote to Andre."
"I'll just say it, I'll just say that my sauce is OK!" Andre was already stunned by the sudden happiness.
The Michelin chef William of the United States gave him a hand, and the chef team of China became his own defeat. The ketchup he made was Kunyang’s latest recipe. No matter which one is said, it can be regarded as his most brilliant moment. The key is that these three things happened together!
"Well, now that the results have come out, the market share of Hongyu is calculated at four to six. The domestic chef Liang provides 40%, and the foreign chef William provides 60%. If you have any trouble, pack more bibimbap sauce for me, I want to take it back to eat."
Zhou Kun frankly put forward the request for packing, without feeling the slightest impropriety. Fortunately, Andre made a big jar of sauce. As soon as Zhou Kun finished speaking, many chefs behind him started filling up ketchup~EbookFREE.me~ compared to Luda The cook was lost and unwilling, while Liang Guoyun was much calmer. He carefully started to wipe the kitchen utensils he had brought, and suddenly felt that Kunyang's boss Zhou was very interesting. Liang Guoyun had already made up his mind in his heart, and boss Zhou's stomach must be grasped by himself.
"Xiao Zhou, thank you so much today, for inviting us to have such a delicious tomato sauce!" Old lady Huang brought two flavors of tomato sauce and left with her sisters.
When Ji Gaosheng returned home in the evening, he saw two cans of ketchup on the table, and unexpectedly there was no familiar smell of food floating in the kitchen.
"Mom, you didn't cook today?"
"In the next two days, we will organize a tour of Jinlanzhihua. I am going out for a week. This is the bibimbap sauce from Xiao Zhou. From today you will learn to cook some noodles or rice for yourself. Eat with bibimbap sauce."
Ji Gaosheng frowned and looked at the red sauce in front of him, and Huang Fang was also reluctant when he handed over the rice.
Finally, Huang Fang looked at the rice cooker that had been shoveled clean, and muttered: "Xiao Zhou is still considerate. It seems that a person is starving at home."
