Chapter 61: The Prelude

No matter how long it has passed, Gong Baorou still remembers her pain and helplessness at that time. What she was proud of was silently degraded in front of the people she admired the most.

"This is your chance to wash away your shame, Arou." Sun Fugui's voice carried a strange energy, which made Gong Bao tenderly clench his fists.

In that game, there was no winner, or who the winner was. Xiao Wenye and her are both losers. The next day's newspaper, none of them reported the first and second places, and the big headline was: The fall of the new star! Gong Baorou's identity as a female chef has also been attacked because of this.

"Although the old saying goes, a gentleman is far from cooking, but, in the end, the famous chefs in history are still men......"

The grievances and bitterness in her heart when she saw this sentence were still fresh in Gong Baorou's memory.

"Arou, the rules of this competition are the same as that time, or it can be said that this time is copied from the intermediate chef assessment." Sun Fugui picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Same? Gong Baorou straightened her body involuntarily.

"The number of people who participated in the intermediate assessment this time was finally determined to be one hundred and twenty-six, and among these one hundred and twenty-six people, according to the ratio this time, there will only be twenty-five people who pass guò."

Is there a 20 percent pass rate? So low...... Gong Baorou secretly calculated in her heart and frowned.

"Because the number of people is relatively small, there is only one test, no grouping, after the start, it is only five hours, and after five hours, whether you finish it or not, you have to stop. But......" Sun Fugui paused, "no one has ever been able to finish five hours." ”

"Why" for five hours, Gong Baorou still felt that it was less, and a delicate dish needed to be carved out slowly.

"Because there is another rule in the exam, that is, whoever finishes it first will give it to the judges first, and once the judges determine that the number of people who have passed the test is twenty-five, then the assessment is over."

It's so similar, it's like a reenactment of that game!

Gong Baorou took a deep breath, and her mood was very complicated. Such an assessment is not only better than the chef's skills, but also more than the chef's speed.

"Because the jury this time is from the Northeast, I suggest that you can choose some northern food, maybe there will be unexpected surprises." Sun Fugui's words are meaningful. Indeed, if you cater to the special tastes of the referees, the chances of passing the parlay will be much higher.

"I'm not very good at pasta." This is a point that Gong Baorou is more distressed about. She is now able to make flowers bloom on the soft tofu, but she can't pull out the long, soft, and firm noodles.

Sun Fugui smiled: "So, you Jinfu mushroom really caught up with a good time." I believe that the unique aroma of mushrooms will bring you good luck. ”

What the? Gong Baorou didn't understand too much, but Sun Fugui refused to continue. Pretending to be mysterious or something, it's really unpleasant.

The venue of the competition is the Lanpu Hotel, which is also a hotel with a good reputation, but its reputation is not as big as that of the Haicheng Hotel. The time of the competition was quickly confirmed, perhaps because of an unexpected judge, so the time was set for May 10th, and on the 8th, I went to the Lanpu Hotel to collect the identity badge and view the venue. Compared with the huge competition a few years ago, this assessment is quite low-key, and the media that should know are all big media, and small newspapers can't get in even if they want to.

On the eighth, Gong Baorou saw a person who surprised her but was expected - Xiao Wenye.

If Xiao Wenye in the past was like a sword that had just opened and thought he was the sharpest sword in the world, the sword body reflected dazzling brilliance, and even the hilt was inlaid with colorful gems, then now he is like a big sword that has undergone thousands of tempers and exudes a heavy atmosphere. It's just that, in Gong Baorou's opinion, it's a bit too much.

Gong Baorou remembered that Xiao Wenye was two years younger than her, so now it should be sixteen years old, everyone understands the truth that it is easy to break, she and Xiao Wenye also suffered such a loss at the beginning, but what is the good thing about the feeling of being too vicissitudes now.

Perhaps sensing Gong Baorou's gaze, Xiao Wenye swept over at a glance and landed on her, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Just when Xiao Wenye wanted to speak, a person next to him lowered his head and said something, Xiao Wenye snorted lightly, turned around and left.

Gong Baorou found out that Xiao Wenye was still surrounded by a few people, but there was no malicious intent.

Sun Fugui walked over, looked at Gong Baorou's gaze, saw Xiao Wenye's straight back, and sighed: "Xiao Wenye is really here." ”

"Isn't it normal for him to come?" Gong Baorou said indifferently.

"That's right." Sun Fugui tilted his head and smiled, "But his life is not as good as yours, just look at him now." ”

"What's my business?" Gong Baorou has never taken Xiao Wenye to heart, she is just a chef who has competed, and such a person has come and gone back and forth a lot in her life.

"Let's go, look at your sign, tsk, this number is a bit behind." Sun Fugui looked at the number on the square sign and said.

Gong Baorou didn't care much about this kind of thing: "It's just one hundred and twenty, nothing." ”

The venue of the hotel is much the same, the spacious and bright hall is neatly arranged with more than a hundred tables, the polished white utensils are stacked on one side in an orderly manner, and the surrounding is surrounded by circular freezers and fresh-keeping cabinets, which are now empty, and it is obvious that the ingredients will be placed in it when the time comes.

"This assessment will basically provide all the ingredients you need, of course, if you want some special ingredients, you have to bring your own, such as your golden mushrooms, which is also allowed." Sun Fugui turned around a few times and felt bored, in order to ensure the fairness of the assessment, everyone was not allowed to get close to the table and freezer, at most they just went around a few laps to familiarize themselves with the place, and even the sorting was lined up half an hour before the start of the game.

"Let's go." Gong Baorou also felt bored.

Just as the two were leaving, a pretty girl's voice came from beside them.

"Ah, brother, why are we here to take the test."

"You should just come here and have some fun." A slightly hoarse voice replied.

"Tsk, there's no fun in playing." The girl's voice muttered a few words.

Gong Baorou couldn't help but look up, and at this time, a very cute-looking girl, with bangs and a high ponytail, was wearing a light blue sportswear. But no matter how you look at it, you can't hide the trace of contempt in her eyes. Or rather, she didn't mean to hide it at all.

"What's wrong?" Sun Fugui looked at Gong Baorou and asked.

"Nothing." Gong Baorou retracted her gaze and walked towards the exit.

She's seen too many people who say that.

Just like before all exams start, it is superfluous to do any exercises at this time, just to increase your tension in vain, Gong Baorou let herself rest fully, and she didn't go anywhere in the rare nest at home, and most of the fish that was taken away by Zhao Pengcheng was also sent over, and now the most important thing to worry about is what kind of dishes you should choose. The first is to cater to the tastes of the judges, and the second is to be to the point, which is simply a hard increase in difficulty.

Liu Ying-ae wanted to watch with great interest, but she got a forbidden reply.

"It's a pity." Liu Yingai sighed exaggeratedly.

Gong Baorou smiled: "What is there to regret, wait for me to bring the certificate back to you." "The results of the assessment came out on the spot, and the certificate also came out on the spot.

"Very good, all I want is your confidence." Liu Yingai patted her on the shoulder, "Work hard." ”

A long-awaited assessment will kick off tomorrow.
