Chapter 825 - 825 824 The Best Point (4000)

?Chapter 825: Chapter 824 The Best Point (4000+) Chapter 825: Chapter 824 The Best Point (4000+) Jiang Feng was thus dragged directly away by Sun Jikai from the kitchen, and he didn’t even have the chance to turn off the sea cucumber braising fire. It was only after getting into the car that he remembered to call Jiang Weisheng to ask him to help turn off the stove.

“Are we starting the semi-finals tonight? Why are we rushing over there so urgently?” Jiang Feng asked, puzzled, after getting into the car.

“The venue is in the suburbs, and it’ll take over an hour by taxi. If we hit traffic, it could be three hours to go there and back. It’s already three-thirty, we need to go shopping for ingredients first, then check the venue. If we don’t hurry, we might waste a lot of time queuing before the top-floor restaurant to get our ingredients,” Sun Jikai explained.

Jiang Feng suddenly understood; he hadn’t received any calls and was unaware of many details. He could only take the opportunity to ask Sun Jikai while they were in the car.

“Did we change venues? Didn’t they say last time during the final test that the venue was for the semi-finals and finals? I thought that place was pretty good, with nice cooking stations and a spacious area.”

“I also thought that place was good, but it seems like there was some issue, not sure if it was firefighting regulations or something else that wasn’t up to standard. In any case, they were just dragging their feet, and that’s why we switched to a new location,” Sun Jikai said, sighing, “I heard the semi-finals were delayed for over twenty days before we were notified, not only because of problems with the venue but also because there were visa issues with a participant from the U.S., who then had to be replaced, which caused the delay.”

Jiang Feng immediately became interested, as gossip was always intriguing: “Visa issues? What kind of problems? Did he engage in some illegal activities?”

“Seems like he was caught for drunk driving.”

Jiang Feng: ?

And you call this a visa problem? That’s a personal problem, okay!

Jiang Feng asked a few more questions, and Sun Jikai answered everything he knew. These days, Jiang Feng hadn’t been paying much attention to the competition, so much so that he was even less informed about the related matters than some of the contestants who had already been eliminated.

Since there had been no news about the semi-finals for a while, various rumors and gossip were flying around, and there were all kinds of versions. Some said that the American backer had pulled the funding, others mentioned that Xu Cheng and Han Guishan had offended someone, resulting in the venue being unusable, and there were even people saying it was actually due to Han Guishan’s failed investments which led to a break in the capital chain and the withdrawal of the investment. Considering that Han Guishan’s most disastrous investment to date was the porridge shop in the snack street, Jiang Feng felt the last rumor was definitely just hearsay.

The two exchanged information throughout the ride until they nearly reached the venue, and that’s when Jiang Feng finally remembered the question he had wanted to ask Sun Jikai since noon but had forgotten.

“Oh right, Sun, I wanted to ask you something. Do you think the thickening technique used for Eight Treasures Chestnut Fragrant Pigeon could be applied to other dishes?”

“Ah?” Sun Jikai was bewildered, not sure why the topic had suddenly shifted from casual gossip to such a serious culinary discussion.

And it was a culinary discussion he was not prepared to answer.

“This…,” Sun Jikai thought for a moment, “should be possible, I guess.”
