"Chen Jia, get up quickly, are Mr. Qian and Mr. Lu waiting for you outside?"

Chen Jia has been very sleepy recently, probably because he is growing taller, and he used to get up early to practice, but now he is practicing at night, and he often sleeps until three strokes in the morning. She really became a lazy girl. When Chen came to call her to get up, she was still sleeping with the quilt in her arms!

"Mother, ask them, what's the matter today! I'm still a child, so I need to get enough sleep every day! Chen Jia frowned and muttered with a puffed mouth.

"I'm going to a food contest today!"

"Ahh What are you kidding, isn't the food competition held in the capital? Chen Jia suddenly jumped up.

"I heard that there are too many registrations, and this year the preliminary round will be held in each county, and the state capital will conduct the semi-finals, and then you can enter the capital!"

"It's super girly! My God, why is it so troublesome this year! Chen Jia hurriedly got up and washed, while picking out clothes, picked out peach-colored clothes, combed her bun casually, and hurriedly opened the road.

"I don't know about this, you go and ask Mr. Qian and Mr. Lu!"

"But Chen Jia, what is a super girl?" Chen Shi saw that Chen Jia had cleaned up, turned around and was about to go to the kitchen, when he suddenly stopped and asked!

"Mother, I'm talking nonsense, you can go quickly, I'll go and see!" Chen Jia hurriedly sloppied eyes, what was the most terrible thing when she just woke up!

Chen Jia walked to the door and found that Qian Yongchang and Lu Xiangyun were already waiting for her in the car. Especially Qian Yongchang, his anxious expression hung on his face, his brows were tightly locked, and he was looking left and right, and he had long been impatient.

"Chen Jia, you're out, hurry up and get in the car!" Qian Yongchang saw Chen Jia and hurriedly beckoned her to get into the carriage.

"Why did you suddenly change the rules of the tournament this year?" Chen Jia looked at the snacks prepared on the carriage, put some snacks in his mouth, and drank a few sips of water before asking!

"It is said that it is the idea of today's Taishi Jiang Qian, saying that in previous years, the state government recommended restaurants to participate. It does not reflect fairness, and this year we need to expand the selection scope so that everyone has the opportunity to participate! ”

"It is worthy of being the descendants of the predecessors!" Chen Jia said secretly in his heart.

"Then why did I find out today? Why didn't you inform me in advance? Chen Jia couldn't help but complain, shouldn't he bully people because he was a child!

"We only received the notice yesterday, and the magistrate said that everyone doesn't need to prepare, just play the usual level, and I didn't notice in advance!" Qian Yongchang rolled his eyes innocently.

"So, who are the participating families?" Chen Jia's face was slightly red. secretly said that he was too anxious, and before he could figure out the situation, he blamed everyone first.

"The restaurants of all sizes in the county know about it, and the town went to notify it yesterday morning, and the county only notified it yesterday afternoon!"

"That's really fair and ruthless!" Chen Jia gritted her teeth! "Is it also a three-course meal?"

"Just one. I think adults are very busy, and they also take the time to hold this competition, where do you have time to taste so many dishes? ”

"Is he just a judge?" Chen Jia stared at Qian Yongchang with wide eyes.

"Don't stare at me, I don't know!" Qian Yongchang spread his hands.

"What are we going to do for the competition?" Chen Jia finally couldn't help but ask the key point.

"Spicy tofu just developed!" Lu Xiangyun interjected.

"I think the braised fish is good! With the addition of new seasoning, the braised fish is not fishy at all! It's delicious! Qian Yongchang disagreed.

"So you haven't decided yet?" Chen Jia was very surprised. What are the two of them doing early in the morning, and they still don't know what to use to compete? It's going to be the rhythm of the streets.

"We're waiting for you to decide! You can rest assured, the two dishes are made by two chefs, and they have brought the ingredients, who do you think is more appropriate? Qian Yongchang said this, but his eyes looked at Chen Jia blankly. It's almost time to choose my braised fish!

"In that case, let's decide on the spot! Anyway, I've brought all the materials, you are not in a hurry, and I am not in a hurry! Chen Jia curled the corners of her mouth, looked at them with a tangled face, and felt a sigh of relief in her heart!

"Chen Jia is really not a good child!" Qian Yongchang sighed!

"Did you know Chen Jia on your first day? She is a very spiritual child, and her future is limitless! Lu Xiangyun looked at Chen Jia appreciatively.

"You know again, you're a fortune teller, huh? The future is limitless! That's for men! Chen Jia is a girl! Qian Yongchang pursed his lips, his handsome face full of disapproval.

"Well, you don't have to kill me! I know how many pounds and taels I know, I'm noisy with you, get out of the car! Chen Jia wanted to say something, but he found that he had arrived, and yes, the county seat was not big.

The first test in the county was held in the square in front of the county yamen, which was usually used for festivals and county test releases.

Although the notice to the restaurant was not timely, some officials beat gongs and drums early in the morning to publicize it all over the street!

When Chen Jia and his entourage arrived, the scene was already crowded, with ten sets of stoves on the stage, and a simple stove and ten cauldrons that could burn firewood on the spot.

Chen Jia raised a smile, "There are only ten feelings!" ”

"I don't know yet, let's go report first!" Qian Yongchang took everyone to the Taibian government office to report, and there was a special official to register. Chen Jia saw that there were more than 30 companies that had signed up.

"No, there are so many, then how can ten pots be enough." Chen Jia couldn't help asking.

"It's okay, you sign up first, we will hold two in the morning and two in the afternoon, a total of forty restaurants will participate, you are late, it should be in the afternoon." The official in charge of registration said as he registered, and a number plate was issued after the registration was completed. It's the thirty-eighth.

"Thank you, brother!"

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!" The gong sounded three times, and the scene finally fell silent.

"At the request of the prefect of Fancheng, the preliminary round of the Changxian National Food Competition was held in Changxian County today. Today, a total of three groups of winners were selected to enter the semi-finals of Fancheng, this competition is based on the principle of fairness and fairness, all the restaurants in the town were only notified yesterday morning, and the restaurants in the county were only notified yesterday afternoon. The following is for the judges of this competition! "It was the master of the county town who spoke. He cleared his throat and began to introduce the judges.

"Lord Shi, the prefect of Fancheng! Lord Luo, the magistrate of Changxian County! Master Lu, the former imperial physician of Ciren Hall! There is also a Qian who is returning to Chang County from the capital to retire! Everyone is welcome! ”

The audience burst into thunderous applause.

"At the request of the Taishi, this event will also invite two other people to be judged, and the following two on-site people will be selected by Shi Da, and they will be selected to go on stage to taste the dishes with several adults, and score on the spot."

Chen Jia sighed, worthy of being a descendant of her predecessors, this model is completely copied from the supergirl selection!

"There are four competitions in this competition, a total of 40 restaurants participated, two abstained, and the rest have already arrived! Please register for the first 10 digits. ”

After the top ten came on the field, the master spoke again, "In order to reflect fairness, the judges please turn around and face the audience, our contestants have number plates under their plates, and after each dish is ready, it will be sent to the judges' table by the officials!" The judges' scores will be placed in a box, and a special person will be responsible for sorting out and copying and publishing the final results on the bulletin board! ”

"It's fair!"

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

The audience began to talk about each other.

Chen Jia also felt that it was quite fair, so she went to discuss it with the chef with peace of mind and stopped paying attention to the event.

"What the hell are you going to do? Chen Jia! "Just one dish is really entangled, and Qian Yongchang is also out of ideas.

"What fish are you using today?"

"Back to the little owner, it's silver carp!" The chef of the Fortune Restaurant returns. Now Chen Jia is also one of the owners of Hongyun Restaurant, but because of his young age, he is called a small owner.

"Then don't braise it, chop the fish head and stew the tofu!" As soon as Chen Jia finished speaking, the others opened their mouths in surprise.

"Why did you change the menu temporarily?" Qian Yongchang and Lu Xiangyun asked together now!

"No way, think about it, so many judges eat our dishes after tasting so many dishes, how much advantage can we have? Making soup is just the right way! ”

"What if I lose in the end?" Qian Yongchang asked.

"I won't lose, the fish head tofu soup is nutritious and delicious, first of all, Lord Qian and Imperial Doctor Lu must like it, and the two public judges will definitely feel very thirsty after eating so many dishes, just right for the appetite, we have two more votes, as for the other two, as long as they give an average score, it is enough!"

"It seems to make some sense, but what if someone else also makes soup?" Lu Xiangyun asked.

"That's like gambling, it's a fight for luck, do you dare to fight?" Chen Jia asked rhetorically.

"What don't you dare, I believe that the chef of our Hongyun Restaurant, not to mention the fish head tofu soup, even if you make a green vegetable soup, it is better than other houses!" Qian Yongchang is full of confidence.

"Well, since you all agree, I have no problem with it!" Lu Xiangyun saw that Qian Yongchang had already united with Chen Jia, and he had nothing to say.

"It's a pity that our new seasoning hasn't been used yet?" Qian Yongchang had some regrets.

"Yes, you don't need any new seasonings to make fish head soup!" Lu Xiangyun also expressed regret.

"It's just a county competition now, wouldn't it be better to wait until the Fancheng competition to come up with it? If the chef himself is very good, I hope to take it out again in the capital! There will be a blockbuster effect then! Chen Jia doesn't feel sorry, there are no new seasonings in other people's homes, isn't it more convincing to win over other people's houses with their strength first?

"Okay, so are we going to watch it again?"

"I'm hungry, so I'll have a snack, and we're the last?" Chen Jiake was reluctant to wait until the afternoon, mainly because he was too tired.

"Yes, let's go to the restaurant to rest and rest, come back in the afternoon, the chef will also rest, and recuperate in the afternoon to compete!" Lu Xiangyun also agreed to go to rest and rest.

"Let's go!"
