Chapter 183: The countdown begins
Xu Xia's voice was neither hurried nor slow, neither humble nor arrogant, but it was questioning.
I have to say that what Boss Zhu said just now is indeed too one-sided and arbitrary, and it is not something that a person of his status should say.
Boss Zhu's face was slightly embarrassed, he was actually given an army by Xu Xia, and he snorted coldly:
"What a sharp-toothed boy, I hope your craft is as hard as your mouth!Stop talking nonsense, start your five-minute countdown!"
Xu Xia shrugged his shoulders, picked up a carving knife that was quite handy, turned it around a few times in his hand, and then clicked the timer on the mobile phone.
But Xu Xia didn't start the knife in a hurry, but stood motionless in a pile of vegetables and fruits, and even closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Boss Zhu sneered even more in his heart, secretly disdainful, pretending, probably knowing that it would not be possible to complete it in five minutes, so he pretended to be profound, very good, I'll see what excuses you can make later!
Moreover, it was only five minutes, even if he was a layman, even if Xu Xia was a peerless genius, he didn't believe that Xu Xia could really carve and paint no less lifelike vegetable carvings on the table in such a short time.
Thirty seconds passed quickly, just when everyone was staring, not knowing what kind of plane Xu Xia wanted to build.
Xu Xia's figure suddenly moved, his wrist shook slightly, and the carving knife in his hand was thrown into the cutting board, and then he picked up a kitchen knife again, and with a beautiful flip in his hand, he neatly cut off half of the pumpkin from the vegetable and fruit shelf.
The pumpkin has a golden color, which is consistent with the color of the golden disc dragon in the minds of the Shenzhou people of the Celestial Empire.
All you need to do is carve this large piece of pumpkin into a coiled dragon!
The skin of the pumpkin and the pulp inside were cleaned in less than twenty seconds, leaving the golden flesh of the pumpkin on the cutting board.
Then Xu Xia used a kitchen knife to change the knife again, and finally there was a square pumpkin meat with two palms in the middle of the cutting board.
The kitchen knife was put aside, and the carving knife inserted in the cutting board was picked up again, and the formal carving began.
At this time, a minute and a half of time had passed, which meant that Xu Xia needed to carve a complete and lifelike coiling dragon in three and a half minutes.
If it were someone else, even if it was the top carving master of Shenzhou, it was estimated that it would not be possible to do it, and the time was too short.
Boss Zhu looked at this scene, not to mention how happy he was, pretending to be struck by lightning, boy, after three and a half minutes, look at how hard your mouth is!
Boss Zhu sneered:
"Look, this is the young man now, hey! He may have a little ability, but if he has to say that he has a hundred points of ability, isn't it that he has no points at all?
I regard it as a good deed, a stumbling block on the road to the growth of young people, and help him grow. ”
"Lao Zhu, congratulations, congratulations, you can earn a million extra money for a meal, it seems that Hongcheng County is a good place, and today is a good start." ”
"Lao Zhu, I made a windfall, although it is not a lot, when I return to Rongdu, don't forget to treat you. ”
"It's a pity, I should have bought a horse just now, it's festive, and the money of the demolition households represents good luck. ”
Two or three people laughed and joked, Xu Xia's actions just now also made them not very comfortable, and they were not optimistic about Xu Xia.
Or that I have a very bad impression of Xu Xia, obviously a big fart, I directly called the real vegetable carving master, hello, I'm good, everyone, I have to make something.
Li Mingxiang swept over the few people who spoke, shook his head secretly in his heart, there seemed to be a hint of banter in his eyes, and the remaining three minutes or so were enough for Xu Xia!
After all, those vegetable carvings on the table, Xu Xia only took seventeen or eighteen minutes.
A single dish is carved down, and it only takes two or three minutes.
And Xu Xia carved the coiling dragon this time, but it took five minutes, it can be seen that he is already very serious, and after the carving is complete, I hope that these people's eyes will not stare at the ground.
Ignorance is not terrible, it is terrible to be ignorant, but still think that you are right, in the face of the truth, it will seem extremely ridiculous.
"Lao Li, why aren't you worried at all?"
Zhou He of the Investment Promotion Office leaned towards Li Mingxiang, frowned, and there was a hint of reproach in his tone, and said:
"Lao Li, you and I have known each other for a long time, and you should also know what these giant businessmen from Rongdu represent to Hongcheng County.
Why did you come over so carelessly today?
Look, not only offended people, but also lost a million in vain, you said that this money is good to use even to open a shop in the county, how much can also drive the employment of several people. ”
Li Mingxiang looked at Zhou He and said:
"Lao Zhou, you should know my personality, do you think I seem to be out of nowhere?
What Xiao Xu said was all the truth, but none of the Rongdu giants you brought believed it, what could I do?
You can't let them smash my signboard, you also heard it just now, that Boss Zhu is going to open a five-star hotel in our county to steal business with me.
You said that's all, can I still swallow my anger? It's not easy to keep my smile now, it's obviously idle and looking for trouble!
It's actually good to let Xiao Xu slap them in the face, at least let them realize that money doesn't mean everything!
After Zhou He heard this, the amount of information was a little large, and he was silent.
First of all, Li Mingxiang is very confident in this vegetable carver Xu Xia, that is to say, in such a short time, he can really carve a vegetable carving work that is not inferior to the quality on the table.
Secondly, Li Mingxiang's words are also very reasonable, and they are both respectful, although Hongcheng County attracts investment, it is considered to be a request for these Rongdu giant businessmen, but it can't be too accustomed to it, otherwise when the time comes, after it really settles in Hongcheng County, who knows how much trouble it will cause.
Again, two minutes passed.
At this time, Boss Zhu and the others quietly changed with a look of ridicule and disdain, staring at the pumpkin on the chopping board with dead eyes.
No, the word "block" should no longer be used to describe it, because the shape of the pumpkin has changed drastically, and the outline and some details of the "coiling dragon" have been revealed.
Coupled with Xu Xia's lightning-fast knife work, it was like a phantom beating in his eyes, and he couldn't capture it, as if the small video was fast-forwarded several times.
"W-How is this possible!"
As the seconds passed, the outline of the coiling dragon was fully revealed, and the details were presented little by little, even if it was not fully formed, it seemed that an ancient coiling dragon that was about to fly into the sky had been seen.
