Seeing that Huang Xiaobei walked back to his workbench with a depressed face, Master Zhao raised his eyes to look at him after mixing three cold dishes, and looked at Huang Xiaobei's sulking look, Master Zhao smiled dumbly.

He poured the cold dishes into three separate plates, but because of the injury to his right hand, even though he was very careful and careful, he still poured a lot of dishes outside. Glancing at the time in the venue, there were less than twenty minutes left before the end of the game, but his main food was not ready...... Thinking of this, Master Zhao dropped the kitchen knife in his hand as if he was resigned, and sighed deeply.

He knew that this time he was completely hopeless.

Tilting his head slightly, Master Zhao found that Huang Xiaobei was standing not far away and looking at him.

Seeing that he was looking at him, Huang Xiaobei quickly turned his head back, and walked back to his workbench 💰 in embarrassment.

"Young man, you don't know what to make desserts, do you? Come on, I'll see if you can make this stewed pear with rock sugar. After speaking, Master Zhao pushed a brightly colored stewed pear with rock sugar next to his workbench forward.

Huang Xiaobei stretched out his neck a little shyly and looked at it, then scratched his head and said, "Uncle, what are you doing with this thing?" Is it enough to put some sugar and boil the pears? ”

"I'm not good at telling you, in this way, it's not difficult for you to search the Internet with your mobile phone, you should be able to do it." Master Zhao, who had completely given up, didn't want to continue struggling, and after putting all the dishes he had prepared on the dining car with his left hand, he turned his head to look in the direction of Huang Xiaobei, obviously preparing to bring his juniors with him, or hoping to bring a certain junior like a gambler back to the right path.

But at this time, just as Master Zhao was about to cook after Huang Xiaobei finished reading the recipe, and then he was giving a little guidance on the side, he saw Huang Xiaobei staring at him with an embarrassed face, twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Uncle, can you discuss something?" ”

Master Zhao looked at him strangely, "What's the matter?" ”

"Well, can you lend me your phone? It's me, my phone, it's, it can't get on the Internet......"

Master Zhao's eyes widened, and he stared at the commissioner with a stunned expression, thinking that there are still phones that can't be connected to the Internet these years? Thinking that there are still young people who can leave the Internet these days?

In the next second, when Huang Xiaobei took out his Nokia, Master Zhao's face changed again....... It became complicated, and at the same time, I couldn't help but ask myself, "What kind of way is this kid?" Why is it more outrageous the more you look at it? ”

Sighing and handing his mobile phone to Huang Xiaobei, Master Zhao said with an extremely complicated expression, "Young man, what are you doing?" ”

The commissioner scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Well, I should be a sweeper, but I also have the errand of a commissioner, and ....... Forget it, uncle, I'm messing up myself. ”

Master Zhao shook his head and didn't speak.

"Eh, uncle, can I ask you something?" Seeing that Master Zhao was not bad, Huang Xiaobei's face became thicker, in fact, he mainly wanted to talk to Master Zhao and resolve the embarrassing atmosphere.

Hearing this, Master Zhao glanced at his bandaged right hand and sighed, "You want to ask me about this hand, right?" ”

Huang Xiaobei nodded apologetically and said, "Uncle, I don't mean anything else, I'm just a little curious." The main thing is that your hand is injured and you are still competing with what kind of competition, and just now I saw that you have remade each dish at least twice, either accidentally put too much salt, or the vinegar was spilled, why do you say you are bothering? ”

In fact, at the scene of the cooking competition, the contestants should not be able to communicate with each other, of course, there is indeed no such thing in the rules of the competition, but it is absolutely illegal for Huang Xiaobei and Chef Zhao to stand together and chat so openly, and even Chef Zhao has a situation where he has to guide him.

Unexpectedly, the three judges present did not say anything, and sat quietly on the judges' seat, and the beautiful and gentle chairman of Dongfang also smiled and pulled the hair in his ear, saying that he missed listening to Huang Xiaobei's nonsense.

Hearing Huang Xiaobei's question, Master Zhao sighed deeply and said, "What else, my results in the last competition were good, this time I was also very confident to participate in the competition, no matter how bad it is, at least I can enter the semi-finals, but who would have thought that I accidentally injured my hand before the game, I originally wanted to quit, but ......."

Master Zhao shook his head bitterly, "But our boss doesn't agree...... Hehe, I know what he wants, buy an opponent in the same group as me, and then win a lot of money, after all, I am the top four in the last session, many people will buy me, and I am also a part-time worker, what can I do......."

Master Zhao shook his head with a sigh and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it, but Uncle still has a sentence to persuade you, don't touch the word gambling, you may not know, the last champion has this problem, I heard that in the past few years, he has lost his industry, and he still owes a lot of foreign debts." Alas, the word gambling is really untouchable, once it is touched, this life is over. ”

Commissioner Huang followed the recipe on his mobile phone, and while carefully cleaning the pears, he nodded and said, "You are right, gambling is really untouchable, and if you do, you will be unlucky, then I have deep experience in this regard." ”

Next, Huang Xiaobei chatted with Master Zhao while slowly peeling the skin of Sydney with the kitchen knife in his hand, and after peeling off all the skin, Huang Xiaobei carefully cut off the pear pedicle and pear handle, and then cut the pear into slices in an orderly manner.

Put the pears into the bowl, Huang Xiaobei sprinkled the amount of rock sugar he felt about the same, and then hurriedly looked at Master Zhao standing beside him, and after seeing Master Zhao nodding at him with a smile, Huang Xiaobei put the pears into the pot and steamed them.

Seeing that Huang Xiaobei grabbed the right amount of rock candy with one hand, Master Zhao couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart, satisfied with Huang Xiaobei's outstanding performance. Yes, yes, no, it's very good. Don't look at Huang Xiaobei just grabbed a handful of rock candy, in fact, what is revealed in this is a wind of serious experience! Not to mention anything else, the first time I made this dish, I was able to grasp the quantity so well, and I definitely had a wealth of experience accumulated in the past.

Thinking about the skilled knife work that Huang Xiaobei inadvertently showed when cutting pears, Master Zhao felt that if he was not mistaken, Huang Xiaobei was definitely a person who had been wandering around the stove for seven or eight years. Thinking of this, Master Zhao couldn't help frowning, but a young man in his twenties could stay by the stove for seven or eight years?

looked at the few dishes made by Huang Xiaobei beside him, and after thinking about it for a while, Master Zhao rolled his eyes, and then unceremoniously picked up a chopstick with his left hand and tasted it a little.

After tasting it, Master Zhao's eyes lit up.

It's delicious, not that it's a great or irresistible taste, it's just a very ordinary home-cooked meal, but it tastes really good and has a very comfortable feeling.

Not only that, Huang Xiaobei's heat is well grasped, and the ingredients of various condiments are also perfect, no more, no less, even the egg fried rice is unexpectedly not as greasy as ordinary people, it is very attractive.

In fact, what really satisfied Master Zhao was that the bland and comfortable taste that lingered in his mouth should have appeared in the hands of a housewife who had worked hard around the stove for more than ten years, but he ate that taste from Huang Xiaobei, a young man in his twenties, which was very simple and appetizing.

Seeing this, Master Zhao looked at Huang Xiaobei with bright eyes and asked, "Child, how many years have you been cooking?" I can't do this without ten years of hard work. ”

Huang Xiaobei stared at the cauldron in front of him to cook Sydney, and said casually, "Ao, I started to try to cook by myself in the fourth grade of primary school, and my dad almost liked what I made in the fifth grade, but I haven't done it in the past few years, I don't think about it, hey, the craftsmanship has not regressed." ”

Hearing this, Master Zhao couldn't help but bow his head and frown, and whispered in his mouth, "You started cooking in the fourth grade, oh, that's quite normal......." Master Zhao noticed that Huang Xiaobei only mentioned his father, but did not mention his mother.

"Pretty bitter, isn't it?" Recalling Huang Xiaobei's very neat knife work, Master Zhao asked softly.

Huang Xiaobei didn't care, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I was very tired at the beginning, especially when I was cooking at the earliest, I was always able to cut my hands, and the oil flowers also made me hurt a lot, but in fact, it's good to get used to it, and it's easier to get started." ”

Huang Xiaobei scratched his face and smiled, "Actually, these are okay, the most cheating thing is that my stove is relatively high, I was quite short when I was a child, and I had to step on a stool to cook. ”

Master Zhao's eyes lowered, "Your dad is also quite tired, huh?" ”

"Otherwise, I'll make eggs, this thing is nutritious, we both love to eat it." Seeing that the rock sugar was almost cooked, Huang Xiaobei opened the pot and smelled the taste, "Well, it's almost, sprinkle some wolfberries again, hehe, finish the job." ”

After sprinkling wolfberries, Huang Xiaobei covered the pot and said happily to Master Zhao, "Uncle, thank you, I'll invite you to dinner when I go back." ”

"Okay." Master Zhao nodded and smiled, stepped forward and patted Huang Xiaobei's shoulder, and said with relief in his eyes, "You kid is very good, work hard, although you have no hope for this competition, but just look at you, you will know that there will be a big future in the future." ”

Facing Master Zhao's encouragement, Huang Xiaobei scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Uncle, I don't have any big ambitions, even if others treat me well, I will treat them well, I myself, as long as I have something to eat." ”

Master Zhao didn't reply, and after a long while, he smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's good to live happily, there's no need to be so tired." ”

"Hehe, I think so."

Listening to the conversation between Master Zhao and Huang Xiaobei, the young man with a wispy white hair stayed on Huang Xiaobei's body without moving, and after staring at it for a long time, he retracted his gaze in a low voice. And Dongfang Qing's face has long since disappeared.

"I thought he was making all the eggs because he was playing with treasures, it turned out to be ....... What is his father's name? ”

The young man didn't speak, just reached out and patted the back of his wife's hand.

————————

When the time came to eleven o'clock, Dongfang Qing picked up the microphone at hand, looked at the four contestants in front of him with a smile and said, "Okay, it's time for the competition, now please stop what all the contestants are doing." ”

After the words fell, Dongfang Qing looked at Master Zhao of the Yucheng Hotel with calm eyes at the front, and Master Li Fatzi with pride written on his proud face, Dongfang Qing smiled gently, "Okay, now enter the tasting session, Master Li will start with you first." ”

"Ahem." Proudly tidied up the chef's hat, and in the next second, Master Li Fatzi walked up majestically with the dishes of his dining car.
