The specific thing was that the government had bought this area and was preparing to develop it into a scenic spot. The location of his restaurant was excellent and the decoration was wooden. Therefore, Master Li had discussed with the government whether they could not demolish it. After all, a scenic spot needed a restaurant.

After a series of official assessments, if he kept it, he would pay less of the demolition fee, but at the same time, he would charge less rent. This was because after the construction was completed, he would be able to earn a lot of money every year by renting it out.

The two sides argued endlessly, and in the end, the officials agreed to give him a chance, but he had to show his own value.

In other words, Master Li and the others had to prove that the existence of the restaurant was more meaningful than demolishing it. Or to put it simply, the value of keeping the restaurant was greater. After all, if there was an old restaurant with good food in the scenic Area, it would attract tourists.

The official planning had never cared about feelings, mainly because there was a successful example in Chengdu. Taoxi road could be preserved in many shopping malls, but it was not because of feelings at all.

Therefore, both parties came to a consensus in the end. After the restaurant finished cooking a table of food, the official side would arrange 50 judges to come over and eat. No matter who was arranged to come, as long as more than 80% of the people thought it was delicious, it would be considered a pass.

The word “delicious” could be said to be both simple and difficult. As the saying goes, it’s difficult to change the taste of everyone. Who knew who would come to eat? it was indeed not easy to make something that everyone liked, but this was already the best result.

Everyone in the Longyue restaurant agreed. They hoped that they could also take the same leap as their restaurant’s name.

It wasn’t an easy opportunity, so everyone cherished it. However, they also knew that with the current strength of their restaurant, they only had a 20% chance of success.

Master Li knew this as well. He had spent a lot of time and effort in order to get this opportunity. He had done a big favor to gain some confidence.

After nearly a month of preparation, the results would finally be revealed tonight, so the kitchen was a busy scene.

Although Master Li had said so, ding was still uneasy.”Master Li, are the dishes made by our restaurant satisfactory?”

“The previous results were probably unknown, but with that person’s help, I think there’s still hope, and the hope is very high.” Master Li was very happy when he talked about this.

“Are you talking about that head chef Yuan?” Ding pointed in the direction of Chengdu. Seeing Master Li nod, he continued,”But didn’t you learn this from head chef Cheng?”

This time, Master Li had put in a lot of effort to save the restaurant.

He used to be in the same school as Cheng zhaomei, so they didn’t know each other much before. They only had some contact after they entered the cooking circle together, but it wasn’t much. There was a big gap between the two.

Moreover, after Cheng zhaomei became Yuan Zhou’s direct disciple, his status rose even higher and they had less and less contact.

This time, Master Li was also at the end of his rope. He could only give up his face and look for master Cheng, hoping to get some help from him.

Although as the chairman of the Sichuan cuisine Association, he still felt a little sad for a master like Master Li who had encountered such a situation, he couldn’t intervene in the official matters at all unless Yuan Zhou asked him to.

However, master Cheng didn’t want to trouble his master with this matter. To be exact, he wanted to go through the back door.

In the end, master Cheng came up with an idea. Since he had already gotten an opportunity, if Master Li’s cooking skills could improve a little and he could have one or two dishes as his signature dish, his chances of winning would definitely be greater.

Of course, before this plan was implemented, master Cheng still went to see Yuan Zhou and explained everything clearly, including his own plan. He only started to give Master Li a special training after getting Yuan Zhou’s permission.

Yuan Zhou was quite sympathetic to Master Li’s encounter. He even specially told Cheng zhaomei to ask him to cook his signature dish for him after the training was over. In other words, he wanted to give him some guidance.

At that time, Master Li was overjoyed. He was not very confident in this method at first, but now he was as if he was injected with chicken blood.

In the eyes of Sichuan cuisine chefs, the name Yuan Zhou had become a legend.

When he thought of the tips he had received from Yuan Zhou before he came back, Master Li felt his heart surging with excitement.

Now that he heard ding’s words, he immediately said proudly,””Although head chef Yuan didn’t personally train me, it was his disciple who did it. Most importantly, head chef Yuan even gave me some pointers. I think there won’t be any problems.”

He was still young when Master Li picked up Dinh. He had always treated Dinh like a son. Besides, Master Li was still unmarried. Dinh had already planned to learn cooking from Master Li. He was considered a successor to Master Li’s cooking skills, so he was very patient with him.

“That person is so famous. Why would he care about such a small matter?” Little ding found it a little unbelievable.

Although he was only a small assistant chef, not even a fourth-grade chef, and just an odd-job worker, it didn’t stop him from hearing about Yuan Zhou’s reputation. He was even familiar with Yuan Zhou’s matters and naturally knew what kind of status Yuan Zhou had now.

To them, the small matter of their restaurant was definitely like the sky falling. However, compared to personal exhibitions, Sino-Japan Exchange meetings, and other things that promoted Chinese food culture, it was really not a big deal.

“Not only is head chef Yuan good at cooking, but his cooking ethics are also unquestionable. Otherwise, why would the Sichuan cuisine chef Achievement Award be awarded to him?” Master Li was also very respectful to Yuan Zhou.

“That’s true. ” Ding nodded in agreement.

They didn’t talk for long. The kitchen was filled with hot air and the exhaust hood was rumbling. Master Li saw that it was about time and put on a serious face. He stood in front of his personal stove and started to prepare his two killer dishes.

One of the most famous dishes of Qingcheng Mountain was definitely the cured meat. Therefore, the first dish that Master Li trained was the cured meat with garlic seedlings in the pot. The cured meat was the local specialty, which could be considered as a local material.

Of course, the traditional four delicacies of Qingcheng didn’t have cured meat. In order to cater to the tourism resources, the second dish was one of the four delicacies, stewed chicken with white fruit.

After the special training of recruiting girls in the process and Yuan Zhou’s livestream, Master Li was already very familiar with the two dishes. With the help of Yuan Zhou, it was naturally not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Now, when Master Li cooked the two dishes, not only did he look much more agile than before, but his speed had also improved.

Time passed very quickly. Just as Master Li and the others were busy preparing, the officials were about to arrive at the Longyue hotel with the judges.
