Chapter 222: The heart is higher than the sky
Looking at the number of words line by line, although Lin Xiaoxi knew the news, he still went to see if there was any important information in the newspaper.
It wasn't until she saw the date, saw a person's name, that she made a decision.
"A big star like Karina would even go...... Then I must go this time! ”
Maybe in the past, she would concentrate on doing what she liked, but now that she has her own store, although she can still concentrate on cooking, she has also learned to consider more things to meet her needs.
"Okay, I know, but you better go back quickly." My sister's newspaper gave Lin Xiaoxi good news, but Lin Xiaoxi was not merciful to those who had touched her bottom line.
It's just that the tone is still soft, not as blunt as before, and it doesn't sound human.
"Sister, can't you really forgive me?" Obviously, Lin Xiaoxi's sister didn't give up, and she didn't know why, she reflexively grabbed the corner of Lin Xiaoxi's clothes, afraid of driving herself out.
But I knew that why bother in the first place today, good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded, and the way of heaven will eventually be reincarnated.
"You'd better go." Lin Xiaoxi just turned around slightly and broke free from her sister's shackles, she didn't want to say a word to her sister, so she simply didn't see it or get angry.
Fortunately, my sister is quite knowledgeable, and she knows that Lin Xiaoxi's attitude cannot be changed and melted overnight, so it will be a long time coming, and there is no need to delay more today.
"Come on, sister, I'll go first, and I'll leave the newspaper to my sister." My sister picked up her bag from the table and left.
Lin Xiaoxi clutched the newspaper brought by her sister in her hand, and her heart did not fluctuate much because of her sister's arrival, after all, even if it was her sister, it didn't matter now.
Lin Xiaoxi only thinks about the opportunity for the state banquet chef to recruit a big star like Karina, and I am not exaggerating to say that such an opportunity is rare in a century.
Because some people will never meet such a person in their lifetime, Lin Xiaoxi asked herself that she couldn't meet Karina casually.
Of course, maybe I should be thankful for my sister, without her newspaper today, she would have missed an opportunity.
Lin Xiaoxi looked at the time of the recruitment of the chef for the state banquet, and specially vacated the time of that day on the schedule.
Time is always passing in your fingertips, and the foolish person can no longer remember what important things he has done in this day, as if he never came.
Early in the morning, Lin Xiaoxi was preparing for the recruitment of chefs for the state banquet, fortunately, it was not a beauty contest, and there was no need for exquisite makeup, just be decent and in line with the identity.
However, there are certain conditions, the chef of the state banquet must not be sloppy, although everyone has the right, but the first thing to pass is the political trial, and the people among them are all people with high political and professional cultural quality selected from all over the country.
In addition to the dishes brought from all over the country from the local area, they have inherited not only the original cooking methods, but also the special skills that change themselves according to the various levels.
"There are so many powerful hotel chefs on the scene, it's really worth the trip." Lin Xiaoxi at the scene was even more eye-opening, the guests at this time were not for money, but more for reputation, which was the best recognition for them.
Of course, the eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers, and Lin Xiaoxi admired and admired and admired and didn't think that he was worse than them, so he didn't grow his ambition to destroy his prestige, and he bowed his head in aura.
"Who are you, this young lady?" Soon, someone came to Lin Xiaoxi's side and asked Lin Xiaoxi questions.
Although many people have heard of Lin Xiaoxi's reputation, it is not nationwide, so there are not many people who don't know her.
"Hello, I'm a contestant who came to apply for the state banquet chef." Lin Xiaoxi's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was not stage frightened at all.
The other party was stunned, as if he didn't expect this young girl to come to apply for the state banquet chef, and instantly didn't believe in Lin Xiaoxi's strength, and there was doubt in his eyes.
"Are you sure you're not kidding?" The staff who maintained the scene asked again uncertainly, for fear that they had heard it wrong, and felt that Lin Xiaoxi was just here to watch the scene of today's state banquet chef recruitment was also grand after all, or to accompany some contestants.
"Trust your eyes, it's true." To be honest, Lin Xiaoxi was not angry, she admired those people did not mean that she was afraid, she would prove herself with her strength.
"Okay, then please come over here." After repeatedly confirming that it was correct, after all, the staff was recruiting chefs for the state banquet, and the quality was still very high, so they restrained their expressions and led Lin Xiaoxi to go through the process that should be taken.
However, the conversation between Lin Xiaoxi and the staff just now has been heard by some people, and naturally some people feel dissatisfied and want to provoke, and they don't believe in Lin Xiaoxi's strength, just because of her gender and her age.
"I advise you, little girl, if you haven't weaned your child yet, go home and find your mother." A man with an oily face walked towards Lin Xiaoxi, and it was not difficult to guess that he would be a chef, at least a researcher of food, otherwise he would not be like this.
"There is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, I hope you can be so arrogant when you are slapped in the face for a while." Lin Xiaoxi fearlessly went back, but she didn't say anything more to the uncle, she may have a good temper and smile cheerfully, but she can't accept the contempt and contempt of others again and again.
It's not about anything, some people may say that she cares, she just wants to do her best to tell others that age and gender are not reasons for you to underestimate others.
The scene was stalemate for a while, and the uncle was red-eyed, but fortunately he didn't wait for the two people to have a deeper contact, the recruitment of the kitchen for the state banquet was about to begin, and the contestants followed the staff to the venue respectively.
The competition began, and the contestants each selected their favorite ingredients to prepare food for cooking, and Lin Xiaoxi decided to make a boiled fish that seemed simple but was actually a bit of a way to go.
Fish is a difficult ingredient to handle, and if it is not handled well, the taste will be bad, the meat quality will deteriorate, and it will not be fresh and tender enough, and the taste should also be exquisite, and the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty taste should also be paid attention to.
The game on the field continued in full swing, and before he knew it, it came to an end, and Lin Xiaoxi's victory was also at the last moment.
"Congratulations, Miss Lin." In the end, Lin Xiaoxi's work successfully passed, and the judges received unanimous high praise after tasting it, although the other contestants were unwilling but also willing to bow to the wind, after all, they are still inferior to others and have the potential to improve their progress.
In this way, Lin Xiaoxi stood out from a group of people and successfully entered the kitchen of the state banquet.
"Are you the Miss Lin who stood out from the crowd?" The people in the back kitchen were happy to see Miss Lin joining, and they all gathered around.
"Hello, yes, I'm that Lin Xiaoxi, please give me more advice in the future." Seeing people talking about people and talking about ghosts, this is the experience that Lin Xiaoxi gained when she entered the society, she will do to others what others do to her, as long as it is not excessive.
"Xiaoxi, you are so good, everyone has seen the video of you making that boiled fish at that time, it is really amazing, I didn't expect this kind of thing." The people who came up may not all be well-intentioned, but everyone didn't have much rejection of Lin Xiaoxi, and they were quite friendly, and they were also compliments, and the people who could come in were not too dish, especially it was not easy to stand out.
"Just here? There's a bowl over there, so let's go wash it first. "But there are some exceptions.
The head chef was very disdainful of Lin Xiaoxi, but he just felt that she could come in, maybe because of luck, so he didn't directly let Lin Xiaoxi take charge of the kitchen, but did chores, and also made a good name, honing his skills, adapting to life, and starting from the grassroots level.
Although she was a little angry with the head chef's attitude, Lin Xiaoxi said that she was understandable, so she obediently went to wash the dishes and do chores.
A few days later, Lin Xiaoxi knew that she was not here to do chores but to learn experience skills to improve herself, although chores are also a kind of experience, so she wanted to have a good chat with the head chef.
"Master, I think I should be able to be in charge of the kitchen." Lin Xiaoxi walked to the busy master, hoping to fight for herself, it is best to be in charge of the kitchen, she believes that her strength will not disappoint the master, and she will prove herself.
"I don't think you can do it, don't look down on miscellaneous people, it's also a way to accumulate experience." The master's eyebrows showed that he was not easy to mess with, and the knife he held under his hand was clattering and chopping vegetables.
"Master, I don't look down on miscellaneous people, I also admit that you are more experienced than me now, but I also understand your attitude, I think I can prove myself through this recruitment, even if you will doubt, but what if you don't give me a chance."
Lin Xiaoxi faced the master's sincere question, and the master's knife didn't know when it stopped, but although the master thought about it for a long time, he never gave a positive answer, and he didn't say that he would let Lin Xiaoxi give it a try.
Lin Xiaoxi unconsciously scratched her hair, a little helpless, and felt that the master was not close to people, why did he beat her to death with a stick before he saw it, thinking that she couldn't do anything.
In the past few days, everyone has gotten along with Lin Xiaoxi, and the relationship is not bad, and some of the people who have played better have also gathered around the head chef and dared to plead to let Lin Xiaoxi take charge of the kitchen.
"Chef, you just let Xiao Xi give it a try, Xiao Xi is quite right, how can we know Xiao Xi's level if we don't try." The man had the audacity to risk being scolded to ask this, which was quite righteous.
"Really? My fault? It was not surprising that the head chef was angry, angry that Lin Xiaoxi, a newcomer, had already had such a big influence, and everyone came to refute him for Lin Xiaoxi.
Of course, what Lin Xiaoxi said was right, he couldn't get used to everything about Lin Xiaoxi, and the squeamishness that belonged to girls alone.
Does she really want her beautiful face to be exposed to the fumes? Is it really possible to endure it and not give up? The head chef didn't believe it, because there had been a precedent before, although it was a bit unfair because others treated Lin Xiaoxi like this.
