In this world, there is never love without reason, nor hatred without reason. As Buddhism says, there must be a cause, and there must be a cause.

Anything has its own causes and consequences.

Why did Brother Lin and Sha Xiaoman help An Liang? Not to mention that Brother Lin and Sha Xiaoman like An Liang’s private hotpot, so he took the initiative to help An Liang.

If it were just out of the perspective of liking private hotpot, I am afraid that Brother Lin and Sha Xiaoman would talk to An Liang about the conditions for helping him, rather than taking the initiative to help him first.

Since Brother Lin and Sha Xiaoman have moved out of the leaders of Wucheng Health Bureau to help Anliang solve the problem, they must have something to ask for.

However, An Liang did not ask in person. An Liang knew that Sha Xiaoman would definitely take the initiative to ask.

An Liang brought Xiaobaicai Xuewang Soup to the side of the vinyl and condensed into ice, placed the tray on the hot pot table, then moved the Xiaobaicai Xuewang Soup to the hot pot table, and said, "This is a special dish that is specially given today. It uses specially cultivated organic Xiaobaicai. It is pollution-free throughout the process and has the purest and most essential excellent taste."

Ningning Jingxing Jingying looked at Xiao Baicai Xuewang Soup, but did not find any difference. However, if Anliang’s private hot pot is just viewed with his eyes, he will not be able to find the deliciousness of the private hot pot.

So, the coagulated coagulated into ice and picked up the small bowl that had been prepared on the table, scooped a bowl and tried it.

An Liang reminded, "Be careful, it's hotter!"

Ningyan Jingying glanced at An Liang, "Am I that stupid?" After that, Ningyan Jingying picked up a small spoon, scooped up a small spoon, and blew it slightly.

The lip shape condensed into ice looks very good, and the lip color is white and red, and there is no lip gloss, which looks very beautiful.

An Liang shifted his eyes and pretended not to notice that the condensation condensed into ice. Then he turned around and walked into the kitchen to make lunch for him.

Today, An Liang has not eaten yet. Fortunately, there is still a lot of Xiaobaicai Xuewang Soup, and there are still leftovers from last night. An Liang plans to use Xiaobaicai Xuewang Soup to soak the leftovers and have a meal together.

Nearly two o'clock in the afternoon, Ningyan Jingying and Su Shiyu had already left. Their appetite was not large, and with the small cabbage blood soup to cushion the belly, they didn't eat much.

Sha Xiaoman's table was coming to an end, and Sha Xiaoman's voice came, "An Liang, come here, I have something to discuss with you."

An Liang laughed in his heart. He knew that what the purpose of Sha Xiaoman and Brother Lin had was about to be revealed. When An Liang walked to Sha Xiaoman, Sha Xiaoman smiled and didn't say anything.

Zeng Weiquan immediately understood what Sha Xiaoman meant, and he hurriedly said, "Xiaolou, let's go out to smoke a cigarette!" Zeng Weiquan looked very eyebrow. He knew that Sha Xiaoman and Sha Qiufang might have something to discuss with An Liang, and he didn't want him to know. Otherwise, why would Sha Xiaoman call An Liang over loudly but not speak?

Although the driver Xiao Lou is young, he is also very good at observing words and expressions. Working within the official system, observing words and expressions is a very important skill.

Only by learning to observe words and expressions can you be like a fish in water in the official system. Otherwise, you will be unable to move forward. Sometimes, knowing things you shouldn’t know is definitely not a good thing.

When Zeng Weiquan and Xiao Lou walked out of the small yard, An Liangcai took the initiative to say, "Sister Xiaoman, thank you again for your work today."

Sha Xiaoman waved his hand and said, "It's okay! An Liang, your business method has avoided certain risks. Even without my help, Section Chief Zeng would have no good idea. However, as my sister, I just said something. Although your method is very good, it is not the right way after all."

An Liang smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoman, I know too, but it is really too troublesome to handle some procedures. So, hehehe."

Sha Xiaoman did not bother with this issue, but continued: "An Liang, I have something, I hope you can help!"

‘Here!’ An Liang was secretly in his heart, but he asked calmly on the surface, “What’s the matter?”

"It's probably the case. As the end of the year approaches, our Wucheng and Jincheng will hold a Friendship City Hotpot Cooking Competition. Through this cooking competition, the quality of our Wucheng and Jincheng's hotpot is shown. After all, on a global scale, our Wucheng's hotpot is more famous!" Sha Xiaoman explained the situation.

An Liang nodded a little clearly, "So, Sister Xiaoman, do you want me to participate in the hot pot cooking competition?"

"Yes! This hot pot cooking competition is related to the honor of our Wucheng Hotpot! At the same time, this hot pot cooking competition is jointly organized by the Municipal Health Bureau, Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau, Municipal Taxation Bureau, and Municipal Catering Association of Wucheng. If you win an excellent ranking in the hot pot cooking competition, I believe that your private hot pot will definitely become famous in Wucheng. As for the issues of hygiene, industry and commerce, and taxation, it will definitely not be a problem anymore." Sha Xiaoman said with a smile.

An Liang measured the pros and cons of this matter. Although An Liang did not like to be famous and did not like the feeling of being paid attention to, as Sha Xiaoman said, once An Liang won an excellent ranking in the hot pot competition, his private hot pot will become the pride of Wucheng hot pot industry, and the relevant departments will naturally not be able to continue to make things difficult for An Liang.

Overall, the benefits of participating in this hot pot competition outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, An Liang decided to participate!

"No problem! Sister Xiaoman, it is my honor to be able to win glory for Wucheng!" An Liang said with a smile. As an ideal college student, how could An Liang not speak politely?

Sha Xiaoman looked at An Liang with satisfaction and then said: "This hot pot competition will be from January 10th to January 12th, which are the preliminary audition competition, the semi-finals, and the finals, respectively, which will be held in three days in turn. Among them, the audition competition will be held in the North Central Commercial District, and twenty contestants will be gathered on the spot, and ten contestants from our Wucheng and Jincheng will be selected to enter the semi-finals. The 20 contestants will set up the hot pot bottoms in the North Central Commercial District, and the dishes will be prepared by the official hot pot competition. Then 100 live audiences will be invited to try them, and finally vote to select the ten contestants who advance to enter the semi-finals."

"Yeah!" An Liang responded, saying that he knew the rules of the preliminary round. Then he asked, "Sister Xiaoman, during the preliminary round, the contestants need to configure hot pot base on site, or?"

If the hot pot base is equipped on site, An Liang was still feeling a little weak. He knew how much he was. Without the support of space spring water, the hot pot base he arranged was definitely at the level of beginners.

Sha Xiaoman looked at Sha Qiufang hesitantly, but she didn't know the specific details.

Sha Qiufang shook her head, "Xiao An, you don't have to worry about the leak of the secret recipe. Even in the auditions, we provide independent kitchens for the contestants. After all, we also know that some hot pot base recipes are top-secret information. We allow the contestants to prepare hot pot base privately and then take it out and use it directly during the auditions. However, in order to prevent cheating, our Municipal Health Bureau will take samples and check every hot pot base to analyze whether there are contraband in the hot pot base."

Although Sha Qiufang did not explain what the consequences would be if the cheating contraband were found. However, cheating in city-level competitions damaged the image of the city, especially losing the face of the leader. You should know what the consequences would be?

An Liang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded calmly on the surface: "Well, I understand! What is the situation in the rematch?"

Sha Xiaoman continued to explain, "The ten people who advanced to the auditions will be held in the Piqua Mountain Forest Hotpot. In this round, we invited three gourmets and 100 volunteers to try for free, and score each contestant. The three gourmets have a place to directly promote. If the three gourmets are willing to recommend the same contestant together, then that contestant will directly advance to the finals. Otherwise, all contestants will wait for the scores of the free trial volunteers."

"What is the specific scoring system?" An Liangduo asked.

Different scoring systems may bring different results.

Sha Xiaoman glanced at An Liang with appreciation. Sha Xiaoman knew about the scoring system. She smiled and said, "One hundred free trial volunteers will score ten contestants one by one. Among the total score statistics of 100 scores, 20 highest scores and 20 lowest scores will be removed. The remaining sixty scores will be the total score of the contestants. Only four contestants will be able to advance in the second round of the rematch."

An Liang breathed a sigh of relief. Although the number of 100 free trial volunteers was a little higher, no one could guarantee that among the 100 free trial volunteers, there was a child care that was in love with the contestants.

If there is really a cheating child care, it is useless to deliberately give players high scores!

Because the final result will remove twenty highest scores and twenty lowest scores, and select sixty points in the middle range, which is relatively fair.

"There are only four people participating in the final? So, where will the final be held?" An Liangqi asked.

The rematch is held in Pipa Mountain Forest Hotpot, so the final location should be even more shocking, right?

After all, the Pipa Mountain Forest Hotpot is one of the very famous specialty hotpots in Wucheng. Its hotpot table is directly set up in the woods, with a unique flavor.

An Liang had only heard of the Piqua Mountain Forest Hotpot, and had never been to it in person, so naturally he didn't know the taste of the forest hotpot. However, An Liang knew that the price of the Piqua Mountain Forest Hotpot is very expensive. Although the price of the Piqua Mountain Forest Hotpot is not as ruthless as An Liang, he is operating it on a large scale, and the number of hotpot tables exceeds one hundred!

Unfortunately, the output of Anliang’s private hotpot is limited by small spaces. Unless the small space is upgraded, the output of space spring water is increased...
