Chapter 80: The Changing Tide at the Food Festival Final (1)
The day of the final has finally arrived.
When Xiang Zixi stood in his ninety-nine position, the crowd in front of him made Xiang Zixi, who had been prepared, still couldn't help but gasp!
Oh my God, how many people are there!
The dense human wall and the footsteps that followed one after another made all the contestants who participated in this year's competition couldn't help but be happy.
According to the rules, the venue is free to enter by bearer, and each person who enters will hold a number plate with their own identification, and this number plate is also a special tool for many tourists to judge the final three.
In other words, these visitors are free to vote for their favorite chefs. And the top three with the most number plates will be the top three this year.
All the contestants started to get busy, and the two professional chefs behind Xiang Zixi also started their day's work.
Xin Zeyang has been working on the two cooks, although the young man is single and weak, Xin Zeyang has completed every requirement of the chef in an orderly manner. Jin Haoxuan hadn't appeared since the morning, and he didn't know where he had gone or what he was busy with.
Xiang Zixi couldn't ask about these things, just the matter of the competition was enough for her to be busy.
Fortunately, with the help of Shen Zhuangmeng and the maids, the customers who came to taste it were kept in order, and they took their own tasting dishes one by one in order. Chubby was holding the box with a smile, and the number plate in it was the number plate put by the person who was satisfied.
In order to get the top three places, Shen Zhuangmeng is really trying her best to win over customers, although her marriage contract with Qian Shaofu has been canceled, but she seems to like the atmosphere of the capital, and she at least wants to grab a flower.
Just when all the stalls were busy in front of them, someone suddenly came to booth No. 99 and bowed to Xiang Zixi, who was wearing a competition uniform, and said, "Miss Xiang, please come with me!" ”
Xiang Zixi, who was busy greeting customers, was stunned: "What? ”
"According to the regulations, due to the large number of people in the finals, those who are not directly participating will be gathered in one place to rest, so as to make more efficient space for visitors." The man said respectfully, pointing his finger at the other stalls, and at this time, some people from the other stalls began to leave one after another with the guide.
Xiang Zixi nodded in understanding, and said to Shen Zhuangmeng: "Since this is a rule, then let's leave first!" Xiang Zixi turned around and nodded to the two chefs and Xin Zeyang and said, "I'll leave it to you here!" ”
The little chubby smiled and said, "Miss, don't worry, I'll leave it to the four of us here!" We will definitely give Miss a satisfactory answer! ”
Xin Zeyang turned around and smiled handsomely, although he was only a teenager, he already had a beautiful man's blank, he said lightly: "Stupid woman, don't be bullied by others when you rest for a while!" Save yourself from going back and crying at us! ”
Xiang Zixi couldn't help but roll her eyes, this Xin Zeyang, won't he say something beautiful?
Shen Zhuangmeng reluctantly followed the guide away, and said softly: "If you can really win the top three, how good it would be!" ”
"Okay, since you want to win so much, then I'll win the top three!" Xiang Zixi laughed heartlessly.
Shen Zhuangmeng's eyes lit up: "Really? Are you really sure of that? ”
"Hahahahahaha———— Zhuang Meng, you are so cute, of course I am joking! I regret how can I have the ability to win the top three? Xiang Zixi grabbed Shen Zhuangmeng's shoulders and left with the others with a grin.
What Xiang Zixi and Shen Zhuangmeng didn't see was that not long before they left their stall, a large group of people suddenly rushed to booth 99, surrounded Xiao Feifei, and the number plate in his hand involuntarily penetrated into the frame in Xiao Feifei's arms, and soon, Xiao Feifei had to empty the voting basket, because there were too many people to vote for her.
The guide respectfully led everyone to a nearby liquor store, which had been closed for the food festival and had become a resting place for non-direct participants.
When Xiang Zixi and Shen Zhuangmeng stood at the door of the wine shop, the noise inside had already spread to the street through the doors and windows.
And Xiang Zixi's appearance, the originally noisy wine shop suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes instantly fell on Xiang Zixi's body.
The feeling of being in the spotlight is actually no stranger to Xiang Zixi.
As a female thief, she often missed in her childhood and adolescence, and the result of her failure was that she was sent to the local police station for education by the angry masses. Therefore, even if there are so many people's eyes, Xiang Zixi can face it calmly.
Shen Zhuangmeng was different, it was the first time she was stared at so naked-naked, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
The owner of the wine shop was the first to react, and as soon as he saw Xiang Zixi appear, he immediately walked over to the two of them, and made a gesture to Xiang Zixi, who was wearing a number uniform, and said softly: "Miss Xiang, please ————."
Okay, the whole capital, I guess everyone knows her Xiang Zi, right?
Xiang Zixi smiled bitterly, as a thief, being known by everyone, I'm afraid it's not a good thing! Hawkers,Well,Anyway, in this life, I'm a small landlord.,And no longer a female thief.,All eyes are on it.,Anyway, I've changed my career!
"Boss, are there any vacancies?" Xiang Zixi smiled calmly: "If there are still vacant seats, please prepare a table for us alone." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The boss nodded busily and said.
"Then, sending a pot of wine to everyone here should be regarded as a tribute to Zi Xi to everyone." Xiang Zixi hugged his fist at everyone present: "Xiang Zixi is a woman, she is still young, her qualifications are still shallow, and she understands too little. ”
Xiang Zixi's generosity suddenly won a round of applause, and the men who had originally held a wait-and-see hostile attitude suddenly changed their minds.
Anyway, the other party is a delicate young girl of the right age, and she is also a girl with a good appearance, although she is more or less uncomfortable in her heart, and she feels that she has lost face by competing with a little girl, but since the other party is so good, then you might as well wait and see.
Xiang Zixi found a seat by the window and sat down, and the others rushed to Xiang Zixi and raised the wine glasses in front of them. Xiang Zixi was not polite, picked up the wine glass, saluted the individual, and drank it all in one gulp, and immediately won a round of warm applause.
At this time, people stepped into the wine shop one after another and chose their seats. Fortunately, the area of this wine shop is large enough, but a few hundred people, it is completely possible for a group of people to have a single wine table, so there is no phenomenon of table sharing.
Xiang Zixi observed the neighbors around him while drinking, and found that most of them were nobles, and occasionally mixed with a few civilians dressed up, probably members of the civilian group, right?
Shen Zhuangmeng said worriedly: "Zi Xi, these people are all hostile to you!" ”
"Yes! After all, we are foreigners, and we still have to compete with them for a living, and if it were me, I would not really be willing to wish my opponent success. Xiang Zixi smiled mischievously and replied with a chuckle.
However, as soon as Xiang Zixi's voice fell, someone immediately caught up and said teasingly: "But this year's food festival, there is indeed a fool who really wants to help his opponent!" ”
Xiang Zixi looked over in surprise, only to see a middle-aged nobleman with a slightly blessed face walking in front of him with a smile, and after making a standard aristocratic etiquette to himself, he continued to smile and said to himself: "Miss Xiang?" The contempt is a small nobleman from the locality, the shepherd of the hereditary fiefdom. ”
"Lord Shepherd, morning!" Xiang Zixi nodded at Mu Cifang: "Zi Xi really doesn't understand what Lord Mu means. ”
Mu Cifang laughed, pointed to the seat next to Zixi, and said with a smile: "Then can I sit here?" ”
There are enough seats in the restaurant, and because of the realization, they have been greeted from above, and the boss has vacated enough seats and space, so the guests who come here do not have to share a table. But this Mu Cifang asked for a table, which made Xiang Zixi and Shen Zhuangmeng stunned for a moment.
Xiang Zixi smiled unnaturally: "Of course you can, Lord Mu, please-"
Mu Cifang sat down with a smile, lowered his voice and said: "Miss Xiang is really a heroine among women, a dragon and a phoenix among people, no wonder the Taishi of Zhuoguo will give up his advantages for Miss Xiang!" ”
"Huh? Ha! Xiang Zixi raised his eyebrows: "Forgive me for being blunt, I still didn't understand what Lord Mu meant." ”
Xiang Zixi and Shen Zhuangmeng glanced at each other, and neither of them knew what Mu Cifang meant.
Mu Cifang laughed and said, "I see! It turned out that Taishi Chitose had already used his affection to such a deep extent. Then, I don't dare to talk nonsense at will! Miss Xiang, please forgive me for taking the liberty of the next! Leave! ”
"Wait!" Xiang Zixi said eagerly: "I'm sorry, Lord Mu, I don't like guessing riddles the most, so please tell me directly, okay?" ”
A hint of surprise flashed on Mu Cifang's rich face, and then he said lightly: "It's nothing." My Mujifang is also a small nobleman with a fief in the territory of the Burning Kingdom, but in the eyes of that adult, I am just an ant-like existence. Therefore, all the commands of the Lord, I have to obey them. However, if I can give up a year's hard work in exchange for the favor of Master Taishi, then it is still a good deal. Miss Xiang, someone has a sentence that I don't know if to say or not? ”
"Please ————"
"It is said that a daughter is easy to get, but a lover is hard to find. All over the country, welcome Miss Xiang at any time! Mu Cifang stood up and made a standard salute to Xiang Zixi: "Please forgive someone for saying this, I will naturally say what I should say, and if I shouldn't say it, I will never dare to say it!" ”
Xiang Zixi winked, he really didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of the pasture.
At this moment, a man in his thirties came in from outside, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "This year is really evil! The votes of the audience swarmed to vote for the No. 99 player! ”
