The second day of the competition is the beginning of the hour, for fear of missing the time, everyone basically began to line up at the end of the day, and when Du Qiyue and Da Mao arrived, the yamen was already crowded with people, this time because each cook brought one or two people to fight, more than half of the people were more than yesterday, and the black pressure looked at the past full of black heads.

Da Mao stood outside the crowd, looking at the high-spirited faces, he didn't feel a little scared, he had never seen this kind of scene, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the eyes of these people seemed to swallow people.

"Don't be nervous, just do your job later." Du Qiyue saw that Da Mao was a little stage frightened, patted his arm and said.

"Xiaoyue, why aren't you afraid, I didn't sleep well last night." Da Mao looked at Du Qiyue and said.

"What's so scary, just do your best, being nervous will only affect your performance." Du Qiyue said that he had really stuffed too many times, and this level of competition would not make him feel nervous at all.

A gentleman on the side who didn't look much older than Du Qiyue heard Du Qiyue's words, and came to Du Qiyue's side very familiarly and said: "This little brother said well, it's all here, no matter how nervous you are, it won't help, as long as you have confidence in your craft, it's worth it to take it seriously." ”

There is still more than half an hour before entering the yamen, standing at the door anyway, there is nothing to do, Du Qiyue saw that this man looked very generous and handsome, and there were two sharp tiger teeth when he smiled, looking quite eye-catching, and what he said was consistent with his own thoughts, so he started to talk, and said after a simple gesture: "Brother, fortunately, I am Du Qiyue of Dahu Town, I don't know my brother's surname?" ”

"Brother Du, it turns out that we are also fellow villagers, I am Qi Zining from Fangping Town, and my home is only two or three days away from Dahu Town. This is just right, if we win the competition together, we will go to Weiluo County together, and if we are all booked, we can go back together, and both can save a taxi fee. Qi Zining said with a smile.

The corners of Du Qiyue's mouth twitched, they had only met for less than five minutes, and this brother had already thought of going on the road together from the game, and his thinking was beating a little too fast. However, Qi Zining's method is really good, it is better to have someone you know on the same road than to go on the road alone, but whether you can go with him Du Qiyue can't decide yet, after all, the two have just met.

After thinking about it, Du Qiyue didn't answer Qi Zining's words, but changed the topic and said, "Which inn did you live in before, I lived in Yuekelai." ”

"I live in Fuhua Building, far away from the Yuekelai Inn, but the chef who lives in your inn knows a few, and the people who lived in your inn first thought of selling dim sum on the street, so I was not kicked out by Fuhua Building because I couldn't pay for the room!" Qi Zining showed two rows of white teeth and said with a grin.

"Yes, it's thanks to them that they came up with this idea, otherwise my purse would have been empty." Du Qiyue followed and said, in fact, the money he carried on him basically hadn't been touched much when Yueke came, and the money he earned in the past few days almost completely offset the room fee, so his money bag was still bulging.

"Well, what are you going to do today, did you think about it last night?" Qi Zining smiled again, and then pulled Qi Yue's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

Although Qi Zining was already very quiet, he was a big horn himself, even if he was quiet, the people on the side heard his question, and they all cast concerned and disdainful looks.

The corners of Du Qiyue's mouth twitched again, and asked the newly acquainted opponent what kind of dim sum he knew before the game, this kind of behavior was either unkind or very lacking, Du Qiyue intuitively felt that Qi Zining was the latter, but a person who could sit on the chef, his IQ should not be too bad.

Seeing that Du Qiyue didn't speak, Qi Zining realized that he seemed to have asked a question that shouldn't be asked, he smiled apologetically, patted the corner of his mouth and said, "Brother Du, don't mind, I just don't use my mind to speak, I don't mean to ask for the dim sum you want to make." ”

"It's okay, I haven't figured out what to do, I always feel like I can make a few kinds of dim sum, but I can only choose two out of the middle, which really makes me a little embarrassed." Du Qiyue said casually.

When Qi Zining heard Du Qiyue's words, he instantly felt that the two were destined confidants, grabbed one of Du Qiyue's shoulders and said excitedly: "It turns out that you are like this, so am I, it's so hard to choose, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I was thinking about what two snacks I should make today!" I think every kind of dim sum I make is delicious, why is the county magistrate not sure about a topic for us to make, how troublesome it is now. ”

Du Qiyue was speechless, people who had a bit of a brain in his words knew that he just said perfunctory words just to find a step for Qi Zining, how could he completely believe it when he arrived at Qi Zining, not only did he believe it completely, but the way this person looked at him was simply the eyes of Boya looking at the child.

"Ahh A sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man on the side had been listening to the conversation between Du Qiyue and Qi Zining, and finally couldn't help but sneer, his voice was not loud, but because there was no one around to speak, Du Qiyue and Qi Zining still heard this sneer at once.

Qi Zining immediately rolled up his sleeves, pointed at the man and shouted, "You say it again." ”

The man who spoke was wearing a satin dress, looking like a second ancestor, and was pointed at by Qi Zining, but he said indifferently: "Did I make a mistake, you two are hypocritical and arrogant." Yesterday, everyone thought about the dim sum to be made before choosing the ingredients, maybe they practiced dozens of times when they returned to the inn last night, but now they say that they haven't decided yet, who believes it? What else thinks that the dim sum he makes is delicious, but he is a chef from an unknown restaurant, so he dares to say such big things, and he is not afraid of others laughing. ”

"You are hypocritical and arrogant, you have the ability to win one, you don't know your ability, if your father doesn't give money to the county master, you can also choose!" Qi Zining scolded angrily.

"Hey, then we'll wait and see if you win or I win!" The man didn't reveal the bottom, stared at Qi Zining with a vicious look, and then took the four of them to break through the crowd and leave.

"Who's afraid of whom!" Qi Zining snorted, looking unconvinced.

"Brother Qi, don't be angry, don't affect your feelings for this kind of thing, and you will affect your performance later." Du Qiyue persuaded.

"It's okay, Brother Du. I've seen him since I was a kid, but it's always getting better. Qi Zining waved his hand and said.

"You know?" Du Qiyue asked.

"Well, we are all from Pingping Town, our families live on the same street, and our families have all opened restaurants since our ancestors were up. I heard my father say that our two grandfathers actually learned the trade under a master, my grandfather was a senior brother, and the true transmission should have been given to my grandfather, but the stinky boy's grandfather made a rogue and my grandfather stole things, and my grandfather did not get the true inheritance, and my grandfather said in a fit of anger that the boy's grandfather had peeked at their master and daughter taking a bath, so that his grandfather did not learn. Later, the two families became enemies, starting from my grandfather's generation, the juniors of the two families were tired of seeing each other, and I don't know how many times this kind of thing happened today. ”

No wonder the guy just now said that Qi Zining was hypocritical, and Qi Zining said that people have no skills, it turns out that this kind of scolding method of hurting the enemy by one thousand and hurting eight hundred started from their grandparents. But these two families are really enough, since they are enemies for generations, they still have to live on the same street, will they be happy to see their enemies once a day?

"But is it true that you said that you bought qualifications by stuffing money?" Du Qiyue is most concerned about this matter.

"Although this matter is inconclusive, it should still be * not far from ten, that kid has poor qualifications, and the things made with their family's recipe can still be eaten, if he wants to use his own brain to make something fresh, then he can't eat it. The original exam question of our county magistrate in Fangping Town was to let everyone make a fresh snack that is not available in the world, what kind of butterfly wing cake did that kid make, it was made like a cat's ear, and the edges were still fried, what kind of good thing you said could be. Qi Zining said with a sneer.

Du Qiyue was a little heavy when he heard this, he thought that the poor ingredients in Jingfeng County were a special case, but now it seems that he was tired of it at the beginning, and how many shady scenes should there be along the way after that, he has no fame, no backstage, and no money, and it is a little difficult to fight for it just by relying on his ability.

The two talked a lot more, and when it was finally time, a few officials came out and asked everyone to line up, and then checked the tools they had brought, and made sure that no one had brought the ingredients and spices before putting them in.

Du Qiyue led Da Mao to the stove in the corner, and looked up to find that Qi Zining had coincidentally walked to the stove next to him, Qi Zining also saw Du Qiyue, and happily stuck out his tongue and made a grimace at Du Qiyue.

Da Mao neatly placed Du Qiyue's tools on the stove, and then took out the ingredients in the basket, checked them one by one, and put them away. The first few things are very good, when he got the flour, Da Mao's movements paused, he was very accurate in his hands, and how many catties of things can be carried out. Now the amount of flour in his hand should be about three catties, but he feels that it is far less than three catties in his hand. Da Mao was puzzled, so he untied the cloth bag and pinched a little powder in the bag with his fingers, and he found a problem when he touched it, the bag was not flour at all.

Da Mao panicked, Du Qiyue told him yesterday that he was going to make two kinds of dim sum for soup dumplings and chicken cakes, but now he suddenly found that he was not taking flour, but how to make those two dim sums.

Du Qiyue noticed Da Mao's strange appearance and said, "Da Mao, what's wrong with you, your nervous face is white?" ”

Cold sweat came out on Da Mao's forehead, he shook his hand and handed the cloth bag in his hand to Du Qiyue, and said in a weak voice: "Xiaoyue, here, it's not... Not flour. ”

"What did you say?!"
