Xu Fang carried the prepared pheasant, twisted his neck, opened an opening in the back, disposed of the internal organs and sundries, rinsed them with water, opened the wine and rinsed them again.

Stuff the medicinal food and ingredients, take out the liquor and pour it in, then seal the mouth, find out the prepared yellow mud, and the chicken feathers do not need to be processed, and directly paste all the pheasants.

Immediately, the rack is placed on the flame and the roast begins.

The five-course meal, half an hour, is almost finished, which is called flower chicken, and it takes some time to cook.

At this moment, Pang Jianxin's second dish is only halfway through.

It is clear which is strong and which is weak.

However, Pang Jianxin is not a narrow-minded person, so he extinguished the fire and said to the judges: "Judges, Mr. Xu, I admit defeat this time." Although I didn't taste Xu Fang's dishes, I believe that the taste will not be bad. ”

Pang Jianxin's free and easy side has also won the favor of many people.

The ten judges glanced at each other, and Zuo Laocai smiled and said, "Okay, we respect the opinions of the parties, Mr. Xu, why don't you serve those four dishes?"

Lin Xiangxue glanced at the foreman on the side, and the foreman immediately took three waiters to help serve the food.

When the lid of the pot is lifted, the aroma wafts away with the wind, and the saliva of those who are close immediately comes out.

The eyes of the ten judges all looked at the dish of the male willow goat, which was made with the knife technique of the late spring knife.

When they saw that no piece of meat had fallen from this dish, everyone was shocked. Picking up a piece of disbelief, without any sense of hindrance, the ten judges looked at Xu Fang, also full of shock.

Some of the extra dishes were also divided among the overseers.

Pang Jianxin actually had some luck in his heart, so he cheekily leaned over, picked up a piece of beef and tasted it, although he had overestimated Xu Fang's cooking skills, but after he really ate it, he sighed.

This time, the loss is not unjust!

After the ten judges tasted each other, Xu Mengnuo also stood up and said with a smile: "Old Zuo, I don't know what your opinions are?"

Zuo Lao took the microphone and first affirmed: "Although Mr. Xu is not well-known in the kitchen industry, his level of cooking is very high. At least I've lived to this age, and I've never eaten this level of food a few times. I am a national super-chef, and I received the super-grade certificate more than 20 years ago, but to be honest, I am not sure of winning Mr. Xu's dishes, and Xiaopang will not lose this time. ”

Listening to Zuo Lao's words, Pang Jianxin also nodded with a wry smile.

When Xu Mengnuo announced that the winner was Xiulan Group, the audience erupted in thunderous applause.

After the game, Xu Fang didn't care about the shopkeeper, and took Zheng Xiulan's four daughters out.

It's been nearly a year, and Zheng Xiulan and the others will go home in three days, and Xu Fang simply accompanies the four girls to go shopping.

said to buy New Year's goods, and in the end it became a special session for the four women to "buy, buy, buy", clothes, pants, hats, shoes, bags, cosmetics......

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the four girls finally couldn't walk anymore and found a bench to sit down and rest.

Xu Fang carried more than a dozen bags in each hand, and a few hung around his neck, if it weren't for Xu Fang's body, he would definitely become the first person in history to die of exhaustion from shopping.

"Eldest sister, aren't you going to buy New Year's goods? What do you see here?" Xu Fang asked helplessly, waving the bag in his hand.

"Ahh

"Why don't you go shopping again after a break?" Shao Jing said.

"The main thing is that I don't know what to buy, but everyone can buy it. Zheng Xiulan is a little distressed, a person like her from a wealthy family can't buy ordinary things, and her valuable family may not be able to look at it. Immediately, Zheng Xiulan's eyes fell on Xu Fang: "Xiao Fang, can you help me come up with some ideas, what to bring back?"

Xu Fang naturally understands Zheng Xiulan's distress, cheap things really can't be used, what are the valuables? gold, jade, antiques? Although I don't know which family Zheng Xiulan's family is, Xu Fang knows that the Zheng family definitely has no shortage of these ordinary things.

Immediately, Xu Fang's eyes fell on the jewelry store on the side of the road.

There are many kinds of ornaments inside, and on the outermost are some gourds.

The size is about the same, it should be selected and purchased, and there is a wooden stopper at the mouth of the gourd, which can hold liquid.

"Xu Fang, what are you looking at? won't let me buy jewelry and go home, right?" Following Xu Fang's gaze, Zheng Xiulan also saw the jewelry store.

"yes, go buy some. Xu Fang nodded.

The girls didn't know what Xu Fang was going to do, and they all followed curiously.

The boss inside was an ordinary woman in her forties, and when she saw a customer coming to the door, she immediately smiled: "What do you buy, sir?" ”

Xu Fang picked up a gourd and turned it in his hand, and it was empty. When I opened it, it had been cut out, and it was handled very well.

And the appearance is smooth, the texture is hard, and the size is moderate, if it is filled with water, it can be about a pound and a half.

"Buy a gourd?" asked the landlady with a smile.

"It's okay to watch. ”

Seeing that Xu Fang was interested, the female boss immediately blew the gourd into the sky: "That's a must, this gourd is produced in the first village of Huaxia gourd, and the gourds sold in their village are all carefully selected." You look at these, the texture is hard, the physique is well-proportioned, and the inside is also treated, and it can be directly filled with water and wine, and it can be used repeatedly for several years without damage. The meaning of the gourd is also good, the mouth is small and the belly is big, and it can be widely used to collect wealth from all directions, symbolizing the fullness of the treasury. If you put it in the house, it also has the effect of removing evil in the house. ”

Xu Fang didn't interrupt, and waited for her to finish before saying, "How much is one?"

"One hundred of this medium-sized one, and the small one cheap, ten dollars. There are bigger ones that are more expensive. ”

Xu Fang kept calculating in his heart, the gourd was not valuable, but if it was carved well, the value would continue to increase.

The carving master Qin Ding, the carving work of the big disciple!

This gimmick is so much, you must be able to give gifts, right?

And his main purpose is to fill it with wine.

If you know someone else, you can send two gourds per person, then you have to have more than 20, and some important people can't just give two. And Zheng Xiulan and Lin Xiangxue can't just bring two bottles when they go back, right?

"It's not cheap, we wholesale this stuff and the price is high. The female boss shook her head directly.

"Buy eighty. Xu Fangdao.

The female boss was stunned when she heard this, looked at Xu Fang in surprise, and asked uncertainly, "Do you really want eighty?"

"Hey, what are I kidding about the New Year. ”

"How many do you come up with?" the proprietress was visibly impressed.

"A fifty. Xu Fang directly cut the price in half.

The female boss waved her hand: "This can't be done, I can't sell it, I want to sell it to you at this price, it's not enough for my travel expenses." ”

"This gourd is not carved, it is a simple original gourd, and the price you wholesale should be about thirty-five. Xu Fang had a harmless smile on his face: "I used to live in Hulu Village. ”

The proprietress was heartbroken, the price Xu Fang said really scared her, she bought it at a price of thirty-five yuan each.

After thinking for a moment, the proprietress said distressedly: "Even if you have lived in Hulu Village, the price you give is too low, not enough for my labor fee, the minimum is fifty-five each, and I won't sell it if you can't accept it." ”

"How many of them are there?" Xu Fang pointed to the boxes piled up at the foot of the wall.

"Fifty in a box. ”

"Well, just give me both boxes, and I won't bargain. "Xu Fang is not short of this money, and he doesn't want to be cheated too ruthlessly.

The proprietress didn't expect Xu Fang to be so refreshing, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll tie you up with a rope." The young man is refreshing, this is my business card, whatever you need in the future, you can call me, and the price will be the lowest for you. ”

"Yes, you still have a big gourd, right? a few catties, how much does it cost?" Xu Fang asked.

"The big one can hold five pounds, but it's not much, there are only ten in total. I won't coax you, the cheapest two hundred and six each. ”

"Okay, give it all to me. Xu Fang was not verbose.

The female boss was overjoyed, praised Xu Fang for being happy, and when Xu Fang paid the money, she packed the box for Xu Fang.

After going out, Xu Fang used the ride-hailing software to take a business car, and three minutes later, a seven-seater Buick drove up, and the five people were just able to sit down.

Put the things in the trunk, got into the car, and Xu Fang said to the driver: "Master, go to Guxiang Street." ”

"Xu Fang, why are you buying so many gourds? you won't let me send gourds, right?" Zheng Xiulan rolled her eyes.

Shao Jing also helped Zheng Xiulan complain: "That's it, it's still a wine gourd, it's better to send a jade gourd." ”

"I can't complain anymore. Liu Hailian covered his face directly.

Zhao Hongyan was more introverted and complained very tactfully: "I agree with Shao Jing." ”

"Of course, it's not just the gourd, it's also about the stuff. ”

"What are you pretending?" Zheng Xiulan immediately became interested.

"Loading wine! When you go home for the New Year, you can carry good cigarettes and wine, even if you are not brilliant, you will not seem to be out of grade. Don't you have to go home in a few days, and I'll carve something on the gourd in the next few days, so that the gourd will also be a little higher. Xu Fang explained.

Zheng Xiulan's eyes lit up and she praised: "This is a good idea! Then it's up to you, let's buy some Moutai later." ”

"Moutai is good, but can you guarantee that the wine you buy is genuine? In this place in Qingyun City, there are not a few bottles of particularly high-end Maotai, so you can take two bottles of wine home? Besides, your family lacks Moutai?" Xu Fang pouted.

Zheng Xiulan was shocked, Moutai is very famous in China, even if the top goods are hard to find, but with the strength of her family, there is naturally no shortage of this kind of good wine, and it is not a rare thing to buy back. Besides, the quality of the wine you bought is just second, in case it is really as Xu Fang said, and you go back with a few bottles of fake wine, this sin will be a big one.

Thinking about these things clearly, Zheng Xiulan hurriedly asked, "Then what kind of wine do you say?"

"Isn't this gone, my grandfather had an old friend who had been making wine in ancestral ways, and I bought the recipe for brewing from him. He has some stock there, the vintage is very high, the taste is different from other famous wines, but the quality is definitely not lower than other famous wines. You won't lose face if you bring it back, and if your family likes it, you will have a light on your face. Xu Fang said with a smile.

Zheng Xiulan's eyes lit up, and she said, "Okay, I'll see the quality later, if I really tell you so well, I will credit you for a great credit this time." ”

"What's the reward for great merit?" Xu Fang complained.

"I'll cook tonight!"

Xu Fang almost vomited blood and rolled his eyes: "Forget it, I don't want a reward." ”
