Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 422-Wang Fan’s Post-Match Interview

Zhuo Qianqian was naturally very happy to hear Wang Fan's generous admission. As a tough gangster, she would not be afraid of the stage, so she immediately stretched her arms above her head and made a heart shape with her hands.

The director also gave a full face shot at the right time. The delicate and exotic face immediately caused a burst of wolf howls.

Wang Cong said in amazement, "I didn't expect Mr. Wang's girlfriend to be so beautiful. I wish you two a long and happy marriage. On behalf of all the single friends out there, I'd like to ask, how can you find such a beautiful girlfriend?"

Wang Fan smiled and said, "If you want to capture her heart, you have to capture her stomach first. So, friends, when you have nothing to do, why not learn to cook? Cooking can also relax your body and mind, and it has many benefits."

When Wang Fan said this, the girls present were the happiest. After all, the boys had learned to cook, so they wouldn't have to endure this hardship. They couldn't just eat out and takeout every day after getting married, could they?

Sensing the topic was about to stray, Wang Cong quickly brought it back to the point. "Alright, enough small talk. Now, I want to ask Mr. Wang, winning the championship means you're the most authentic sweet and sour pork maker here today, and you're using traditional methods. What do you think about that?"

Wang Fan thought for a moment and said, "I don't think there's any authentic or inauthentic recipe. The recipes left by our ancestors also have traces of modification. Different seasonings and ingredients are discovered and can be incorporated into one's own cooking. This is a kind of positive innovation."

"So it seems Mr. Wang supports different flavors of sweet and sour pork?"

Wang Fan nodded. "Every innovation actually gives diners more choices. If diners are satisfied, we chefs will be happy too. So I think there's nothing wrong with different flavors, and there's really no need to be obsessed with so-called authenticity."

After he said this, the participating chefs were very happy.

I’ve been criticized a lot when I made different flavors before, but in the final analysis, isn’t it all about making diners feel comfortable eating?

"it is good."

"Master Wang is absolutely right!"

"Master Wang, great job!"

Lu Xianchao and several other professional judges nodded frequently after listening to this, and they looked up to Wang Fan even more highly.

Being so young and not arrogant or impatient, you will definitely become a great person in the future!

Hmm... maybe it's already a big deal now? I can't seem to make that sweet and sour pork myself...

At this moment, Wang Cong suddenly asked a pointed question: "Mr. Wang, what do you think of the upcoming pre-prepared food competition? Or what do you think of pre-prepared food in general?"

As soon as she asked this question, Director Liu and several professional judges couldn't help but frown.

There has been a lot of talk about a boycott of pre-prepared meals recently. If the champion says something unfavorable at this time, it will not be of any benefit to the next competition.

This host is too reckless!

After Wang Cong asked this question, she was stunned for a moment and realized her mistake.

Many of the previous competitions were pre-determined, and what to say and who would answer the questions were all negotiated in advance. This time, she habitually asked the following questions.

But he was not selected for this competition!
This was organized by several cultural and tourism bureaus. The competition was transparent throughout, and there was a live tasting session at the end, so it couldn't be faked. The champion was beyond everyone's expectations. If I asked this question myself and someone said something wrong, I might lose my job!
How to make up for it?
Wang Cong suddenly became nervous, but the question had already been asked and it was being broadcast live, with so many people watching, she could do nothing but pray in her heart.

Brother, please don’t talk nonsense!
Wang Fan was also surprised. Isn’t it inappropriate to ask me this question?

As a chef, I have a natural inability to get along with pre-prepared meals.

However, when this question was asked, the onlookers became excited.

If for no other reason, this pre-prepared meal is closely related to them, and it is very likely that these working people are the main target group.

Life is hard enough, and I just want to enjoy it when I eat. But you don't even let us eat properly, and instead you throw in a bunch of pre-made dishes to fool me. If you had added more ingredients, I might have ended up spending money and getting sick. Why bother?

Dear Boss Wang, if you just say something good about pre-prepared meals, we will stop being your fans!

Wang Fan's fans all quieted down at this moment, waiting for Wang Fan's answer.

This question is indeed very sharp, but they all hope that Boss Wang can answer it with his original intention.

Wang Fan thought for a moment and said, "First of all, I personally don't like pre-prepared meals."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Wang Cong, but also the faces of all the professional judges and leaders were gloomy.

This guy is going to ruin the show!

The fans were very excited. It had to be Boss Wang, who was so bold to say it!

Ignoring their reactions, Wang Fan continued, "What I pursue is to make ingredients into a variety of delicious foods. The pre-prepared meal model runs counter to what I pursue. Long-term storage and secondary processing will lead to nutrient loss and a deterioration of taste, which I cannot tolerate.

Pre-prepared meals may contain a high level of food additives, and long-term consumption may have certain health effects. Furthermore, pre-prepared meals may have an unbalanced nutritional profile, and long-term consumption may lead to chronic diseases such as obesity and high blood pressure.

Moreover, the taste is monotonous and cannot satisfy the taste needs of different people. For those who pursue a good dining experience, pre-prepared dishes may lack soul and characteristics.

After Wang Fan said this, the faces of the leaders and professional judges turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Wang Cong's originally fair face was now extremely pale. She seemed to have seen herself submitting her resignation report tomorrow.

But she still wanted to give it another try.

He pretended to be calm but asked in a trembling voice, "So, you think pre-prepared meals...are of no benefit?"

After asking, he looked at Wang Fan with a pleading look.

The fans who were screaming with excitement also quieted down and waited for Wang Fan's next answer.

Wang Fan had actually come into contact with pre-prepared meals.

In my previous life, I worked like a slave and ate a lot of this.

Although this thing had not been promoted at that time, he was not naive enough to think that he could eat a plate of freshly fried fish-flavored pork shreds in two minutes.

And the smell is really unbearable.

Not only does it have no taste at all, it's also super salty.

But if you say it is completely useless, Wang Fan doesn't think it is that serious.

“There are still benefits.”

"Ok?"

This reversal brought smiles to Wang Cong and a group of leading judges' faces, but the fans frowned in an instant.

Boss Wang, is he going to wash the pre-prepared dishes?
If you dare to wash this thing, we will really stop being fans of you!
