Chapter Seventy-Three: Increasing the amount of fried dumplings
A young man walks into a dumpling shop in the east of the city, and today's challenge is crucial for him, as long as he stamps the big red seal on this dumpling shop, his five red seals will be collected.
This young man has a well-defined face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, and a full body that exudes vitality, and his pair of thick eyebrows are particularly impressive.
He entered the store: "Boss, I'm going to challenge the preliminaries of Big Stomach, the number of dumplings is enough, right?" the young man asked the boss.
The boss replied with a smile: "Enough, enough, it's too much! And it's all new in the morning, 80 fried dumplings in 30 minutes, okay! You find a seat first, and I'll tell the kitchen to start cooking." ”
The young man found a table against the wall and sat down, he looked around, this dumpling shop is not large, there are five or six tables in total, a few wooden chairs are placed next to the table, it seems to be messy but compact, and the small glass door of the small restaurant has a few red welcome words pasted on it.
The boss was dark-skinned, short and thin, and the one standing next to him should be the proprietress who was disproportionately tall and fat.
The guests at the table next to them seemed to have just come from afar and seemed to have walked a long way, they were sweating profusely, sweat sliding down the furrows on their faces, and they each ordered a fried dumpling and were eating it.
The boss went into the kitchen, and the lady returned to the front desk, where she took out a piece of paper from the drawer and stole a glance at the young man.
She seemed to have noticed something, and hurried into the kitchen with the paper.
……
The boss of the little kung fu personally served the fried dumplings to the table: "Come on, let you wait for a long time, the fried dumplings will not taste good when they are cold, so we will serve 30 first, and then 50 we will go up one after another, and we will not delay you by eating first." ”
The boss turned back to a small waiter and pressed the timer.
The 30 fried dumplings served by the boss are served on three plates, and each of these fried dumplings is crispy and crispy on the surface.
Before the young man came, he deliberately made a strategy, and the Internet praised this fried dumplings, and the young man nodded with a fried dumpling. In addition to pork and eggs, he can also taste some diced lotus roots, and the proportion of chopped green onions, minced ginger, cooking wine and salt is just right. The young man used chopsticks to split each fried dumpling from the middle, leaking out the filling inside, which is to let the fried dumplings dissipate heat as soon as possible.
He held a large glass of ice water in his left hand, and his right hand kept picking up fried dumplings and sending them to his mouth.
Before he knew it, this young man had already eaten more than 20 fried dumplings.
……
Manager Nian walked in with a leather briefcase outside the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he nodded to each other with the boss. He found a place against the wall and sat down silently. He only ordered a small drawer of steamed dumplings, and then held a teacup in his hand and glanced at the young man diagonally opposite.
The fried dumplings in front of the young man quickly disappeared, and when there were only the last six or seven left on the plate in front of him, the young man raised his hand: "Boss, one after another, I will finish eating the first batch immediately." ”
The young man looked down at his watch, 15 minutes and 48 seconds.
At this rate, it should be about the same, he thought to himself. The fried dumplings were served one after another, but when the second batch of dozens of fried dumplings was brought to the table, the young man seemed to notice that something was not quite right.
He picked up a fried dumpling with his chopsticks, although it looked about the same size as the batch just now, but it felt a little heavier. Maybe it was his own delusion, he didn't want to think about it anymore, and continued to fight, this batch of eating felt more laborious than just now, he didn't know if it was because of the feeling of fullness in his stomach or because this batch of dumplings had indeed become bigger.
Time was pressing, and he couldn't afford to think about it, so he could only quickly stuff the dumplings into his mouth one by one.
……
The little waiter in charge of the timing shouted, "The last five minutes." ”
The young man was a little panicked when he heard this, he didn't care about the dumplings burning his mouth, and he didn't care about drinking ice water one bite at a time to relieve the heat of the fried dumplings. He was sweating profusely, the sweat on his head sliding down his thick eyebrows.
It's time!
At this time, he still had the last three fried dumplings left on his plate, and he still had half of them on his chopsticks, and his mouth was stuffed and still chewing hard. When the young man heard the waiter's announcement, he threw the dumplings in his hand on the plate.
He didn't move, and the chewing in his mouth began to slow down.
The boss walked over: "It's a shame that there are only three missing!"
At this time, Manager Nian also stood beside the young man: "The young man is really good! ”
Manager Nian sat opposite the young man, took out a business card from his bag and handed it over, the young man took the business card and looked at the title on it carefully: Nian Yifan, manager of the training department of the Southern Big Stomach Association
Manager Nian pulled out two pieces of paper from the table and handed them to the young man, who nodded and began to wipe his sweat.
"Where did the lad come from?"
"I'm from Tongyang. ”
"Tongyang, I know, it's not close to here, I've been to that place, it's a good place, rich in jujubes?"
The young man nodded and continued to wipe his sweat, listening to Manager Nian continue, "How many are these?"
"The Fifth"
"Oh, the last one, that's a pity! As long as it's a little bit faster, you can pre-select and clear the customs, and you happened to meet me so much today, see that you are a talent...... Or else.'"
Manager Nian leaned towards the young man and said with a smile: "I'll report your situation to the headquarters and give you a pre-selection clearance." ”
The young man wiped his sweat with a tissue and listened to Manager Nian's words: "Really?" He felt that he had met a noble person today, as if he had met Bole on a thousand-mile horse.
This year happens to be his natal year, and the family is talking every day that he is either wearing red socks or wearing a red belt, and the underwear he wears today is red, red is really a good color, no, it will bring good luck to himself.
"How can I lie to you, of course it's true! And before the finals, all your meals, accommodation, and transportation expenses for the return trip are borne by our headquarters, how about it?"
The young man was so happy that he didn't know what to say, but he just said, "Really?
Manager Nian laughed hahaha: "Young man, you can rest assured, we have fate, I came here by chance to have a meal and ran into you, our Southern Big Stomach King Association is looking for talents like you everywhere,"
The boss saw that Manager Nian and the young man were chatting hotly, and walked out of the door and lit a cigarette.
After the young man entered the door just now, the list in the hand of the proprietress when she entered the kitchen to find him was the list of 12 contestants who had passed the four levels sent by the Southern Big Stomach King Association, and this young man was on the list...... The last 50 dumplings were all added dumplings, and the young man only had three left in the end, which was too dangerous!
The boss estimated that the manager would definitely ask him to increase the amount of dumplings in the future, so that he could not see how much the size had changed and could make the portion heavier!
