Bai Ko had participated in countless cooking competitions in her previous life, and she was not nervous at all in this scene, standing quietly in a shady place, looking like she was looking at the venue, but in fact, she was standing in a daze.

The other twenty-three were not as calm as Whiteko, and they walked up and down in a row, each with a number hanging on each table that made them scream with excitement.

No one paid attention to them, there were only twenty-four apprentices in the courtyard, and they didn't even bring the ingredients for the competition, and finally everyone got tired and looked for a place to sit and rest one after another.

There is a mother-in-law guarding the gate outside the courtyard gate, and if you want to relieve yourself, tell your mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law will lead them.

The cool morning ended in this boring waiting, and when the sun was getting hotter and hotter, and everyone was about to fall into a drowsy situation, a group of mothers-in-law finally walked in outside the courtyard, fiercely commanding the apprentices to stand at the base of the wall on the side of the courtyard gate and kneel.

Everyone's excited expressions immediately retracted, and they stood obediently, men and women separated, kneeling on the left and right sides of the courtyard gate.

After waiting for a while, four beautiful girls walked in, stood on the inside of the courtyard gate and bowed, and the apprentices also kowtowed together at this time, chanting "Old Lady Wanfu" in their mouths.

This kowtow didn't get up so quickly, the old lady walked in first with the support of the eldest lady, followed by her son and daughter-in-law in order, followed by the young master and young lady, and walked at the end of the concubine rooms in each room.

The house has been filial piety for three years, and a lot of entertainment activities have been reduced, and it is rare to have a lively scene, so naturally no one wants to be bored in the house.

After the masters slowly ascended to the spectator seat, the apprentices had already knelt until their knees were sore, and the mothers-in-law were a little unsteady when they beckoned them to get up, but they didn't have time to rub their knees, and the mothers-in-law led them to the front of the stage and kowtowed to the masters again.

After getting up, the apprentices continued to stand in a row facing the spectators, and then Pang's mother came to the stage with two little girls.

It was time to start the game, and a team of people quietly walked in outside the courtyard gate, each holding a dustpan full of clean vegetables, and placing them on the shelves behind the playing field in order.

The ingredients for the competition have finally arrived.

When the apprentices heard the movement behind them, they didn't dare to be distracted, let alone turn their heads to look, and they all listened to Pang's mother explain the rules of the game wholeheartedly.

The main content of the rule is the one mentioned in the last message, half an hour, each person is free to make a hot dish, the ingredients are optional, but the number of winners is not the six people known before, but doubled, to twelve.

Just as the apprentices couldn't help but be in an uproar with joy and excitement, the ingredients in the back were also arranged, the people who carried the things left the courtyard, and the overseers walked to the front of the stage to salute the masters.

At this time, the apprentices saw who the person who sent the ingredients was, it was the kitchen manager Wen Gushan and the four stewards.

Everyone also understood at this time, why they brought their apprentices here as soon as breakfast time was over, that is, to temporarily isolate them, and let them know what ingredients were used in the competition for the first time at the scene.

The intention is obvious, not to give the apprentices too much time to think about it, and to test their on-the-spot reactions.

Wen Gushan and the stewards did not retreat after saluting, but stood under the stage and watched Mama Pang take the next step.

Pang's mother took out a list and held it in her hand, and the little girl next to her was holding an empty bamboo tube in her hand, and the other was holding a special stick holder for the wine order, and the order slip was numbered.

Pang's mother called a name, called the person who was named, came to the stage, drew a lot from the lottery holder, reported the number on it, Pang's mother made a record, and then put the lottery into the bamboo tube.

Bai Ko almost wanted to applaud that this public roll call lottery to prevent cheating was fantastic.

Lu Doudou stood beside Bai Ko, she was so nervous that there were beads of sweat on her head, she looked down at her toes, and pulled Bai Ko's little tail finger tightly, she could detect that Bai Ko was daring to peek at the people on the stage, envy her boldness At the same time, she couldn't help but be a little nervous for her.

The masters want to recognize people's faces, and Bai Ko also wants to take this opportunity to recognize the faces of the masters, anyway, she is standing at the end of the line, and no one will pay special attention to her.

As a result, unexpectedly, Bai Ko suddenly saw a familiar face.

It's really a familiar face!

Although it is a simple cloth clothes, he is not very old, a teenager, but he obviously has the temperament of a superior person, which is formed from a young age in a favorable environment, pampered and formed, sitting in a correct posture, the upper body is straight, and only the first third of the chair is sitting.

Especially the eyes, clear and bright, bright eyes, and a smile at the corner of the mouth.

Hey!?

Bai Ko's heart was shocked!

Gaze?!

In the bystander seat in front of Bai Ko's peeking gaze, a pair of slightly smiling eyes were looking at him in the seat behind the eldest lady.

No wonder it feels like a familiar face.

Isn't the one who can sit behind the eldest lady the grandson who has never heard of it but has never seen it!

Third Young Master Gu Yun!

Bai Ko, who was not nervous about this game, couldn't help but feel that sweat began to flow on her head at this time, she quickly retracted her gaze, learned Lu Doudou's posture, and lowered her head to admit her mistake.

No wonder this lobbyist is super efficient, and the third young master personally lobbied the eldest lady, isn't it easy to do.

Pang's mother's roll call finally called Bai Ko, she couldn't help but tremble again, calmly walked out of the queue, and drew a lot in the lottery, and the number on it was seventh.

During the whole roll call and lottery process, all the apprentices stood facing the spectators, even if they returned to the queue after the lottery, no one dared to procrastinate and take the opportunity to peek at the food shelf behind them.

After all the twenty-four people were drawn, Pang's mother gave an order, and the apprentices walked to the corresponding stove according to the numbers they had drawn, and sorted out the various tools on the table.

Twenty-four simple stoves, arranged in four rows and six columns, according to the order of numbers, a group of six people go to the food shelf to choose the ingredients they want to use, in order to prevent robbery and waste, everyone must use up all the ingredients and accessories.

This is also a test of the apprentices' reaction speed and precise ability to prepare materials.

Each group was allowed to linger in front of the food rack for a cup of tea, which was also arranged for two little girls to supervise the time, and to distribute dustpans to the apprentices.

Bai Ko was the seventh in number, the first person in the second group, she patted her chest secretly, and went through the few recipes she had prepared in her mind again, praying that the ingredients she wanted would not be taken up by the first six people.

When the tea time of the first group passed quickly, and when they returned to their stove to think about the cooking steps, the second group to which Bai Ko belonged immediately walked to the shelf, and the overseer's girl flipped an hourglass, and the timer for the selection of dishes began.

The first person in each group suffers the most in this link, and can use the least time to consider, Bai Ko is the first person to take the food, she only has a firm foothold, and the other five people urge her to hurry up and get the food, as if the time is so tight that she can't wait for a breath.
