199 Two days to learn Hong Kong cuisine? (2 in 1)(1/2)
The most basic survival skill of a five-star hotel girl is called "knowing people with eyes".
At most three months of employment, you must be able to quickly distinguish the quality flow of the guests in front of you from the corner of your eyes.
Is the guest a low-key "Dad Ma" who loves to wear cloth shoes, or is the boss of a bidding company who is rich and pays attention to appearance and is still elegant when he is soaked in the water bottle, is he aristocratic family that has been cultivated inside and outside for generations, or is he a nouveau riche with a gold chain as thick as a dog chain?
Is it a repeat customer who goes to high-end hotels every day, or a small staff member who saves a month's salary to come once a luxury?
This determines whether the service they provide to customers is a professional treatment of being a sarcastic and not smiling, or a warm and at home.
When Zhou Dong and Lu Luxin walked in, the beautiful manager's eyes suddenly shone ten times.
This is not very old and is wearing a relatively cheap sportswear for a mainland brand. It is a bit out of place for Wan Chai Starlight Hotel, but these are not important.
The two important guests walked off a low-key Buick business car. Although the license plate only flashed in front of her eyes like a glimpse of light, she saw the license plate number clearly and there was no mistake. This business car belongs to Mr. Zhu, one of the top ten richest people in Xiangjiang.
Moreover, that male guest is so handsome, she looks very much like her idol, the most handsome guy in Asia.
"Sir, ma'am, welcome to Wan Chai Hotel."
The beautiful lobby manager gently twisted his waist, showing a little bit of sex and feeling, and maintaining absolute elegance. If it weren't for the sake of her image, she would have wanted to show her ten teeth...
"I understand. No matter how good Mr. Zhu's villa is, there are many beauties in five-star hotels? No wonder you rejected Mr. Zhu's kindness and insisted on staying in the hotel."
Lu Luxin still complained about Zhou Dong.
The Hong Kong International Food Competition will be held at the International Conference Center in Wan Chai District. Considering that the contestants come from different countries and regions, some are waiting for their time, and some have to suffer from the time difference, the competition organizing committee has left two days off for the contestants.
Zhu Yanping means that Zhou Dong and Lu Luxin can live in his villa halfway up the mountain in the past two days. When the competition begins, they will move to the Starlight Hotel, which is closer to the International Convention Center.
Zhou Dong insisted on not following it, and said from beginning to end, "Mom said, don't disturb your friends too much." Zhu Yanping could only rely on him helplessly.
Lu Luxin is not a vain person, but she is still very curious about the legendary Mid-mountain mansion and somehow doesn't understand Zhou Dong's stubbornness.
Zhou Dong glanced at her indifferently: "There are many handsome guys here, be careful to see the road..."
The beautiful lobby manager invited the two to the VIP resting place in person: "There are many people checking in today. Mr. and Ms. can rest here for a while. For the VIP, we have free coffee.
You two are here to participate in business activities. You can give me your ID and I will help you check in."
Lu Luxin said: "How do you know we are here to participate in the event?"
"You two have kept a certain distance from entering the door, which is obviously not a couple or a couple.
A man and a woman are not couples, but they appear in the hotel at the same time. Lao Zhou, you are full of righteousness, and Lu Zhentou has no dust at all. Of course, you are here to participate in business activities."
The beautiful lobby manager looked up and shouted in surprise: "Hello, Mr. Huai!"
The man Huailiang in front of him became more and more refined. His sky blue hand-cut suit made him look like an elegant gentleman. The carefully trimmed mustache on his chin was more literary than the last time.
Men like him who are not short of money or time will be welcomed by women wherever they go, and they can even attract working women more than young handsome guys like Zhou Dong.
Huai Liangren smiled gracefully. The lobby manager of the five-star hotel should be a cleaner woman, at least on the surface, so he was not disgusted: "The two of them, like me, are here to participate in the Xiangjiang International Food Competition, one is called Zhou Dong and the other is called Lu Luxin.
By the way, this chef Zhou is my friend. Please help them check in quickly. My friend must have worked hard, OK?"
"Mr. Huai, please rest assured."
The beautiful manager smiled sweetly, took the ID cards of the two and went to the front desk. Huai Liangren smiled and opened his arms at Zhou Dong: "When I meet old friends, it seems that I should have a hug, right?"
Zhou Dong glanced at him and sat on the sofa: "You are a seed player, and you don't want to participate in the preliminary rounds. What should you do so early?"
"It's not for you. I don't know anything when I participated in a competition for the first time. I'm afraid you will suffer a loss!"
Huai Liangren withdrew his arms and said, "This time, not only Guoyang Jingzhai is here, but also the old guy Ham came to join in the fun.
Your opponent is not simple. I am still looking forward to playing against you in the finals. You can’t let me down!”
"What else, you haven't lost?"
"How can informal competitions count!"
"hehe......"
These two guys...Lu Luxin tilted her WeChat on the sofa, too lazy to care about them.
"Mr. Zhou, Ms. Lu, the Yellow River Group has upgraded your room, and it has been upgraded from two high-end standard rooms to a presidential room. Can you check in directly?"
The beautiful manager looked at Zhou Dong with a gentler look. Due to professional requirements, she had to run back to confirm the opinions of Zhou Dong and Lu Luxin. Not only did she not feel troublesome, but she looked very happy. I really hope she could serve this handsome VIP several times more.
"Presidential Suite? How can that work! We are two of us." Zhou Dong frowned.
“…mmp.”
Lu Luxin looked at Zhou Dong blankly, why are you more responsive than me? Why!
This is a presidential condom. It’s not like playing with two people. How can we not be so rustic?
"Mr. Zhou, the president's condom is very large, and if you want to divide it, the guests only need to lock the inner door. Anyway, there is a bathroom in every room in the president's condom."
"That's not OK. Please exchange it for two standard rooms. Please return the difference to me in cash."
Zhou Dong calculated that the private hall and big wine tank have not opened yet. He has no money to make money at present, and he has basically given his mother an annual salary. He has been very tight recently, and he has to live a long life...
"Well, sir, are you sure you want to do this?"
The beautiful manager widened his eyes. This was the first time she had encountered a presidential guest who made such a request.
“…”
Huai Liangren and Lu Luxin covered their foreheads and really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.
Although the professional qualities developed over the years have made the beautiful manager puzzled, he still helped the two of them quickly change the room. Zhou Dong happily took a stack of Xiangjiang coins and two tag-like things from her, and was stunned and said, "What is this?"
"Sir, our hotel is responsible for the check-in items of the contestants of this year's Xiangjiang Food Competition, and also sends the identity certificate on behalf of you and Ms. Lu."
"Judge?"
Zhou Dong was stunned. He didn't even get a seed contestant. When did he become a judge? He looked at Lu Luxin and found that she looked puzzled.
"Haha, I know you'll be surprised. Put it away. These two judges are yours. You can't be wrong. I'll tell you the reason when you arrive in the room."
Huai Liangren smiled and looked at Zhou Dong's room card: "It's a coincidence that we just happened to live in the opposite door..."
***
After listening to Huai Liangren’s story, Zhou Dong and Lu Luxin suddenly realized.
According to the rules of this year's Xiangjiang Food Competition, some contestants also had the opportunity to be addicted to judges.
However, their jury status will only be valid during the qualifying stage of the competition.
Zhu Yanping once said that the qualifying stage of the competition will be divided into China, island countries, Simida countries, Europe, Australia, the United States and several additional areas. After entering the qualifying round, two major areas will enter the competition every day.
Because there are many contestants, the organizing committee is not allowed to use group cycles or knockout competitions throughout the entire process, so the qualifiers adopt the score system of public judges and professional judges.
For example, when the competition starts in Huaxia District, contestants from other regions who did not have competitions on the same day will serve as professional judges; editors of the special food special issue invited by the competition, and lucky passers-by will serve as public judges. The judges can solve three meals a day in the competition area, and the ones serving the meals are contestants of the same day.
"Professional judges" like Zhou Dong have three points in their hands, while public judges have one point. They need to vote the precious points in their hands to the food that satisfies the most on the day. After the competition is over, counting the scores of the contestants, and then the gold, silver and bronze medals in the area can be determined.
In fact, these are all included in the competition system description. Unfortunately, Zhou Dong and Lu Luxin are both guys who don’t like to study, so they know how to waste their time on the boring things like understanding the rules of the competition?
“Does this competition system sound a bit sloppy?
If the contestants are asked to judge the contestants, the contestants will give their scores to their imaginary enemies, which may cause unfair results, right?"
The first thing Zhou Dong thought of was the Hokage family. He had never seen Inuka Jingzhai before, but he had experienced the various external tricks of Inuka Jiro. If he was in the competition, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Inuka Jingzhai to give him the score based on his conscience? After all, he only has three points in his hand, so there is a reason to give anyone.
“Haha, no rule can guarantee absolute fairness.
Compared to the fact that several judges control the fate of the contestants, it would be fairer to use this method to increase the judges' characters in the preliminary round and increase the score base of the contestants.
After all, the larger the base of the score, the more it can minimize subjective injustice…”
Huai Liangren smiled and said, "And not any contestant is qualified to be a judge in the preliminary stage. The competition organizing committee also chose contestants with high reputation and no stains to serve as judges.
For example, you, the Chinese King of Faces, the Chinese Baccarat, and the famous Hua Yidao, are all well-known people in the industry, so you have to take into account your reputation, right?"
Lu Luxin nodded and said, "It's still fair. By the way, when is the competition in our Huaxia District?"
"Okay, you two don't know what, just come to compete?"
Huai Liangren held his forehead speechlessly: "The chefs participating in the competition in various countries all rest for two days and then started the preliminary round.
The preliminary stage is divided into four days, and the first day is a few additional area competitions. There is basically no point in the review. If you want to evaluate, you can go there. If you don’t want to evaluate, you can go to the street to see the scenery, and the organizing committee will not force you.
The next day was the Australian and American African competition, and there were not many highlights. However, it would be interesting if the African buddies beat the beauty. I have decided that I would rather vote for the black buddies and the "kangaroos" than take care of the beauty.
Anyway, their hot dogs, pizza and turkey are either fast food or stuffed goods in my opinion, so I won’t be ashamed of it.”
Lu Luxin smiled knowingly.
Her opinion is actually similar to that of Huailiangren. She cannot understand why the beauty has to eat turkey with so many kinds of chickens and does not eat them. It is just because the turkey is enough? This is a typical behavior of raising goods, which makes the Chinese chefs who pay attention to fineness despise them.
When participating in this international food competition, Chinese chefs have a natural sense of superiority, and this sense of superiority is very objective.
"The third day was the preliminary division competition between Europe and Smithland, which was divided into zones a and b, so they could not judge each other.
The fourth day is the pre-selected division competition between China and the island countries, and it is also divided into A-zone, so Inuyang Jingzhai cannot eat the food you made in advance... "
Huailiangren explained to the two curious babies for a long time and said with some headaches: "The content of the qualifiers has been given in advance, I guess you didn't read it either, right?
The participating chefs must make morning, lunch and dinner, so that professional and public judges can taste it and give points.
There are no special requirements for contestants in other areas, as long as they meet the definition of breakfast, lunch and dinner, but there is an additional condition or opportunity for chefs in China.
To be continued...
