Lin Jinxiu also saw Cui Xu on the road, who was squatting in front of a stall and picking potatoes.

Is he going to make something with potatoes too?

Doesn't this make a man who has only been cooking for three days bump into him, a chef who has been cooking for nearly ten years?

Fortunately, I chose a smiley potato cake, no one has ever seen it here, otherwise it would be embarrassing for the two to cook the same dish.

I'm sure to lose!

Cui Xu also seemed to feel Lin Jinxiu's gaze and looked back at her.

Lin Jinxiu saw Cui Xu coming over, and smiled at him, laughing so much that Cui Xu didn't react for a while.

Before Cui Xu could say anything, Lin Jinxiu turned around and left, leaving Cui Xu behind at a loss.

What's going on in this girl's head?

Cui Xu's hands holding the potatoes trembled a little. Obviously, the last time we met, I still spoke ill of her, but today she can laugh like this?

"You know?" The man standing next to Cui Xu asked.

"No, ten, we don't know." Cui Xu shook his head.

Lin Jinxiu was the first to go to the competition.

After Zero One took Lin Jinxiu to her place, she left, leaving Lin Jinxiu alone at the table to prepare.

Lin Jinxiu saw that the ten long tables on the ground were arranged into a square without sealing, and the direction without sealing was a high platform.

There were three tables on the stage, as well as tea cups, which looked like they were supposed to be for the judges.

On the long table, pots and pans are readily available, and there is a stove next to the long table, and most of the pots on the stove are new, which seems to have been specially bought for the competition.

Lin Jinxiu placed a wooden sign on the table that said No. 1, looked to the left and right, there was no one on the right, and No. 2 on the left, it seemed that it started from No. 1 here, and went all the way to No. 10.

Before anyone else came, Lin Jinxiu took out his spice jars one by one and put them on the table, humming a song while waiting for the game to start.

"Bang!" Just when Lin Jinxiu lowered his head to look at the firewood, there seemed to be someone on the table next to him, who was putting the things in his hand on the table.

Lin Jinxiu turned his head and saw that it was Cui Xu, who was next to the table on the tenth, and he was also packing up his things.

I just heard Zero One say that the number of the contestant is determined according to the ranking of the contestant at the time of registration and voting, so Lin Jinxiu is the first.

But did the shopkeeper of Qinghe Building only take the tenth place?

"This big brother, I'm looking forward to your performance today." Lin Jinxiu's eyes rolled, and she suddenly shouted at Cui Xu, "Did you say that you would try to make me laugh!" ”

Bang, Cui Xu stumbled, and the kitchen knife in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Lin Jinxiu smiled freely as if she hadn't seen Cui Xu's gaffe, and then checked the things in her hand.

"I hope you'll be able to laugh later." Cui Xu said.

"I have a lot of fun laughing whether I win or lose." Lin Jinxiu gave him a sweet smile, "I said a long time ago, I'm here to learn." ”

"Hmph." Cui Xu sneered.

While the two were talking, the tables around were occupied, and there were more and more onlookers around.

"Ah, I hope there is a girl to compete with you......" Lin Jinxiu muttered, "Sure enough, in ancient times, only men could cook cooks......

"Fellow fathers!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the high platform, drawing all eyes to it.

I saw a young man in a long robe and a horse coat with high braids coming out of the side of the high platform and walking to the middle of the platform.

Lin Jinxiu recognized him, he was the storyteller who often stood on the street corner.

It seems that this eloquent storyteller with a good voice is also a part-time host.

The man's voice was very loud: "Fathers and fellow villagers! Look here, look here. ”

Lin Jinxiu seriously doubted that this person could do martial arts, and this voice could still be heard clearly from the noise of the onlookers, like a voice transmitted by internal force.

Of course, it is not ruled out that it is because of her better hearing.

"We're not going to talk about books today!" The storyteller looked at everyone and said, "Today, the ten chefs here will personally present this book to everyone!" ”

Lin Jinxiu looked at the storyteller and said excitedly: "Whether it is a dignitary or an ordinary person, in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation, everyone's most important thing is food. ”

"Although my Celadon County has always been well-known for its military rations and polished rice, the cooking level of our county's chefs is not far behind, one of the best!"

"Today, Qinghe Building, the leader in the county's restaurants, will bring these talented chefs together for a hearty competition!"

Speaking of this, the storyteller paused for a moment before continuing: "Because this is our first cooking competition in Celadon County, Qinghelou specially invited three chefs from the county town to be our judges for this competition!" Let me introduce it to you! ”

Lin Jinxiu's eyes widened, this Qinghe Building is really generous, and he invited three chefs from the county town, I'm afraid it cost a lot of money.

The onlookers standing behind her had the same idea as her, and everyone talked about it, all saying that Qinghelou was really wealthy.

"The first is the shopkeeper of the Tianji Building in the county town! Tianjilou has ranked first in the competition of the county town for five consecutive years! ”

With the introduction of the storyteller, the shopkeeper on the floor walked up to the stage and waved to everyone, and sat on his seat, a middle-aged man with an honest face, with a rich and noble appearance, and it seemed that cooking should be delicious.

"The second is Chef Xiao from the Jade Pavilion in the county town! Not only has Yushu Pavilion never been defeated in the top three in the county town for ten years, but this Chef Xiao's grandfather is a chef in the capital! ”

The second judge was actually a woman, with gray hair, who looked to be about fifty years old, with drooping triangular eyes and thin lips, and with her serious expression, she looked fierce.

"The third is a famous gourmand in the county, Mr. Lu Qingfeng! This is an authority on the county's gastronomic scene! ”

The third judge is actually a gourmet?

Lin Jinxiu stretched her neck to look at him. I saw that the little fat man looked no more than twenty years old, his eyes were squinted, and he looked smiling.

With the idea that squinting eyes are not ordinary people, Lin Jinxiu has an inexplicable sense of awe for this little fat man.

"Everyone applauds and welcomes!"

The storyteller took the lead, and the crowd of onlookers shouted at the three and gave them warm applause.

Although Lin Jinxiu was also applauding, her eyes kept looking at Chef Xiao, her face full of admiration.

A woman born and raised in this era can actually climb to such a high position, this is the real heroine among women!

Chef Na Xiao also noticed Lin Jinxiu, and the two of them looked at each other, feeling a little sympathetic.

"Although we are the judges invited by Qinghelou." The little fat man Lu Qingfeng stood up and said, "But! We are all professionals, and we will never favor Qinghelou or anyone present! ”

I hope so, Lin Jinxiu shrugged, undeniable.

"If the shopkeeper of Qinghe Building is just a useless waste firewood, although Qinghe Building invited us over, we will definitely not show mercy." After that, the little fat man added.

Lin Jinxiu looked at Cui Xu.

I saw Cui Xu looking at the little fat man, with a look of wanting to cut him, and the little fat man's eyes looking at him were also full of playfulness, it seems that the two have known each other for a long time.

"Of course, ensuring fairness and justice is the purpose of the competition, please rest assured!"

The storyteller walked down the high platform where the judges were and walked towards Cui Xu.

"Next, let's introduce our contestants this time!" The storyteller said, "The first thing I would like to introduce to you is the organizer of this event, Qinghelou Cui, the shopkeeper!" ”

As soon as the words ended, there was a burst of cheers from the surrounding crowd.

"Chef Cui has been learning in the kitchen since he was a teenager, and it has been ten years now! What's more, he has also studied the craft in the county for five years, and I hope that Qinghe Building can go to the next level in the hands of Shopkeeper Cui! ”

Cui Xu gestured politely to the surrounding crowd.

Lin Jinxiu's eyes have been following the storyteller, looking at him, he was introduced in reverse order of number, the first number 10 happened to be the organizer's person, and the back was arranged according to the ranking on the voting board, and finally Lin Jinxiu was the first.

Because the popularity of the shopkeepers is increasing, the whole venue is becoming more and more enthusiastic.

Lin Jinxiu had to say that these people would indeed grasp the thoughts of the officials.

Lin Jinxiu noticed that the two bosses of Nawangfu Restaurant and Qingshengzhai were tied for third, and they really complemented each other, each accounting for one.

The storyteller introduced a circle, and finally arrived at Lin Jinxiu.

"And the last of us—" The storyteller came to Lin Jinxiu's side, and dragged a long note to sell the guan.

"The only girl on the field, the legend of our Celadon County, Lin Jinxiu Lin shopkeeper!" As the storyteller revealed Lin Jinxiu's identity, almost all the onlookers cheered.

Maybe many people have never seen Lin Jinxiu, but in Celadon County, who doesn't know the name Lin Jinxiu?

"Miss Lin, who has only been in the county for a month, not only sells corn cakes for one or two silvers, but also opens her own shop "Splendid World", which is a dark horse in this competition, let us look forward to the performance of the shopkeeper Lin! ”

Under the introduction of the storyteller, the cheers around him were even better, and Lin Jinxiu saw that there were many regulars in the crowd of onlookers who he knew.

There are also Ning'er and Huai Yanqing.

"Shopkeeper! You promised! Top three! Otherwise, you'll have to sleep at the door today! "Huai Yanqing is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

Hearing this, Cui Xu next to him turned his head and glanced at Lin Jinxiu.

Although Cui Xu didn't mean anything else, he still saw Lin Jinxiu's old face flush, and he stopped talking.

"Come on, sister! My sister is the best! Ning'er jumped and jumped.

Lin Jinxiu was a little embarrassed and glanced at the direction of Ning Er and Huai Yanqing.

"Now, let me talk about the rules of this competition!" The storyteller walked to the center of the field after introducing the contestants.

"In the hour after the competition, every chef needs to make their best home-cooked dish with the ingredients they bring with them!"
