Chapter 261: The Contest Begins
Seeing Ye Zi walking away, Mrs. Ye sighed again: "It's really a big girl!" ”
It's just that Ye Zi miscalculated the time this time, and Lin Feng was not there when she came to the jade shop.
"Where's your shopkeeper?" Ye Zi looked around, and when he couldn't see Lin Feng, he directly asked the guy on the side.
"Shopkeeper Zhang is discussing some things with the master in the backyard, does the young lady have anything she wants to order? If I'm in a hurry, I'll go and call the shopkeeper out. The guy was on the road, and seeing that Ye Zi was dressed gorgeously, he knew that he was a young lady from a rich family, so he greeted him directly.
Ye Zi was stunned: "Isn't the shopkeeper of your store surnamed Lin?" Why did you become a shopkeeper now? ”
"That's our host, right? It is Lin Feng's son of the Hou Mansion. The guy chuckled, it turned out that this young lady came to see Lin Feng's son, no wonder she looked around when she came in, as if she was looking for something.
"I was just passing by, and I didn't come to find your son Lin Feng on purpose." The man's inquiring eyes made Ye Zi's heart panic.
She explained, and then asked, "So your boss is not here today?" ”
"Miss is not lucky, Miss Liu has a competition today, so Lin Feng Gongzi went to the venue of the competition first." The guy mourned for Ye Zi in her heart, she probably didn't know that Lin Feng Gongzi had a deep affection for Miss Liu Tian.
Although today's son came to the jade shop and arranged everything, he knew when he looked at the dark green under his eyes that he had not slept well all night, so he drove out all the plans.
The guy sighed slightly: "The venue of this game is in the courtyard hall two streets past the east, if the girl goes now, she should still be in time to see the results of the game." ”
"Who said I was going?!" Ye Zi frowned, but in his heart he was thinking about how to go so that he didn't seem so deliberate.
She glanced at the jade in the store casually, and pointed to a piece casually: "I have decided on that piece of jade, but I haven't thought about what to carve it into, but isn't the carving in your store already scheduled for the New Year?" You can help me book a time to line, and when I have time, I will set the content of the carving. ”
Anyway, I came to go shopping, if I didn't buy anything, but asked so many things, Ye Zi himself felt a little deliberate, and he was really embarrassed, so he simply designated such a piece of jade.
The guy didn't say anything, he just recorded the information according to the rules, took the money from Ye Zi's maid, put it on the account, and then sent them away.
As soon as he got out of the jade shop, Ye Zi walked east, and the guy said that Lin Feng went to the venue of the competition for the sake of the Liu girl, it seems that this Liu girl is the Liu Qian who was not in the limelight in the Beijing Cooking Competition before.
Although I heard that Liu Tian had a very beautiful face, Ye Zi had always thought that he was not bad, so he was not to be outdone, so he wanted to see if this Liu Tian was really that beautiful, and also wanted to confirm Lin Feng's attitude towards mercy and his feelings for her.
At this time, Liu Tian had already arrived at the venue of the game.
She really hasn't slept well in the past few days, so her face is not good, and she is participating in the competition today, Liu Tian thinks that everything is simple, so there is nothing on her head except for the exquisite wood carved hairpin.
She wore a blue coarse cloth shirt, and all the cuffs and cuffs were tightly tied for simplicity.
She walked into the competition venue like this, and looked at it from a distance and thought it was a country woman from somewhere.
"Yo, isn't this the chef who was in the limelight before?" The chef who had been compared to Liu Qian before recognized Liu Qian at first sight.
Glancing at the man, Liu Tian vaguely remembered that this person seemed to be the one who said that she was just a woman and unworthy of participating in the competition during the previous competition, so the examiner's impression of him was too bad and he suffered a loss in impression scores.
It seems to be called Sun Yong?
It seems that she is inexplicably hated again.
Liu Qian glanced at the man: "I don't remember that I was in the limelight. Liu Tian said, wanting to bypass him and go inside.
But Sun Yong didn't intend to let her go at all, but shouted very loudly: "Look, isn't this the invincible Liu Dumping Chef? Could it be that your restaurant has closed down? Not only is his face so bad, but even the clothes on his body are dressed like this? ”
As soon as he shouted, everyone around him turned their heads to look.
Liu Tian frowned, what's the matter with this person, she just wants to have a good game, now it's okay, everyone has come to see her.
Liu Tian looked around, and many people around her were pointing fingers at her.
She lowered her head and glanced at her clothes, although it seemed to be a little out of line with the aesthetics of this era, but Liu Tian looked very good.
At least there won't be wide sleeves to get in the way, and there won't be those cumbersome skirts to restrict her pace.
She would at least be able to cook in such a shirt, and it looked a lot like a modern sweatshirt, not as bad as they said it would be.
But even if he thought so in his heart, Liu Tian didn't say anything.
At least one thing Sun Yong was right, her face was not very good.
During this time, because of the Ye family's affairs and Lin Feng's affairs, Liu Tian hadn't slept well for a long time, and she would think of the marriage between Lin Feng and Ye Zi at every turn, even if it mattered, she would always think of Lin Feng's previous marriage proposal to her.
Compared to the two, she is even more uncomfortable.
Lin Feng also asked her on the front foot if she was willing to get married, and the Ye family agreed on the back foot that she wanted to cultivate her feelings well.
How could she accept such a change?
Because of this, she didn't sleep well for several days, and naturally her face was very bad.
But this time, she came to participate in the competition to convince herself that she would participate in the competition no matter what, and she would never let herself lose in this competition.
Men are unreliable, so she has to rely on herself.
If Lin Feng and Ye Zi were really together one day, the Hou Mansion would not be her dependence at that time, and she would have to find a more reliable backer.
Now this is the best opportunity.
Sun Yong saw that Liu Tian still looked like he was not afraid of anything, so he also felt bored and let her go aside.
But the moment Liu Qian passed by him, Sun Yong said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You remember, today I won't let a hillbilly like you vomit win." ”
Liu Tian's footsteps have never stopped from beginning to end, she doesn't need others to let her win, she can let herself win!
When he came to his stove, Liu Tian took out all the knives he brought. One by one, they are neatly arranged on the worktop.
I checked the equipment around me again, and used the time before the game to clean everything again.
While the other chefs were chatting or crowding out the other contestants, she was the only one quietly tidying up her stove, but she didn't expect that these things would be watched by the examiner in the corner.
"I've heard of such a cook before, who is very good at cooking and very careful, and now it seems that she really deserves her reputation." An examiner said.
The examiner on the other side also nodded: "That's right, seeing that everyone else is chatting, she calmly cleaned up everything, which is very good." ”
The time of this competition is fixed, but they also require all the participating chefs to arrive at the competition venue half an hour early, firstly, they want to see what these chefs will do if they come here early, and secondly, they want to see what kind of way these chefs will choose to familiarize themselves with the environment they are not familiar with.
Speaking of which, these examiners all feel that a good chef is not only able to make the talent delicious, but more importantly, can pay attention to all the details.
But now, it seems that Liu is the only one who can notice all the details.
Even Wang Xuxian only took a cursory look at his stove, familiarized himself with the surrounding environment, and familiarized himself with the food rack.
Half an hour later, Liu Tian had cleaned everything up.
The examiners came out and announced the theme of the competition.
"Sufang." The examiner said a word, and glanced at the chefs in the audience: "There can be no lard in this competition, no eggs, and no meat, so the production time will be relaxed, and you will be given three hours to make three dishes and one soup, which must be all vegetarian." ”
After the examiner finished speaking, the chefs in the audience were in an uproar.
There is no difficulty in vegetarian dishes, but there is difficulty in vegetarian banquets.
The examiner said that as long as there are three dishes and one soup, but the soup and the dish are particular about the machine, and the combination of these three dishes and one soup should not only reflect the fresh fragrance of the dish, but also not use things like lard.
Dishes without a little oil and water can only be boiled in water, but just boiling in water will definitely not taste good.
That's a stump for a group of chefs.
However, Liu Tian and Wang Xuxian were very indifferent, the two of them just thought about it, and walked directly to the shelf.
The two of them took almost the same ingredients, a few vegetables and a basket of beans.
However, Liu Qian prepared one more thing than Wang Xuxian, that is, rapeseed oil.
This rapeseed oil is squeezed out of rapeseed, because her technology is not mature enough, so there is not much rapeseed oil pressed, that is, a small bottle, to make the last dish, such as this time three dishes and one soup, she estimated that it could be used up.
Liu Qian brought this rapeseed oil just in case of emergency, but he didn't expect to really use it.
She is not in a hurry to stir-fry, the dishes are always more delicious when they appear in the pot, so she first soaked the beans in water, spent about two hours to make tofu, bean skin, dried tofu and the like, and then boiled the remaining beans in water and fried them in rapeseed oil into small crispy particles.
After all this was ready, Liu Tian paid attention to it, and now there was about half an hour left for her to cook.
Just right! There is only so much time required for three dishes and one soup.
Sun Yong was anxious, and when he looked up, he saw Liu Tian pouring a yellow oily object into the pot, and the corners of his mouth looked slightly, okay, Liu Tian, you dare to cheat!
