Chapter 153: The Second Competition
Fan Yuan understood that this was the examiner's attempt to dissuade him.
But he has finally reached the point where he is now, how can he just leave?! He hasn't seen Liu Tian fail, he hasn't seen Liu Tian leave in disgrace, and he hasn't avenged his previous revenge, how can he just leave this examination room?!
"Your Excellency, Examiner, be gracious!" Fan Yuan knelt directly in front of the examiner: "Although I am not feeling well, but this was framed before the exam, and the person who framed me is still on this one, how can I leave casually?!"
The examiner looked at Fan Yuan's serious appearance and softened, and felt that there were few chefs who were so persistent, so he simply agreed to his request to continue to stay in this examination room, but in order not to affect the competition, Fan Yuan was still arranged in a corner.
The first round of the competition ended when Liu Tian just stopped, and some people were eliminated because they didn't finish the sauce they wanted to make beyond the time.
As for the people who made the cut, they got their own rankings, and these rankings were put into their hands by the examiners one by one.
When ranking Liu Tian, the examiner showed a look of disappointment on his face.
Fan Yuan has been paying attention to Liu Tian's side, so he naturally saw the examiner's expression directly, he was very happy to take advantage of the break in the competition to walk behind Liu Tian in a fake manner, and glanced at the ranking written on Liu Tian's note: "Forty-two?!" Fan Yuan directly sneered: "This first round will only promote fifty chefs, and you are only forty-two?!" Looks like you don't have any real skills! ”
With Fan Yuan's ridicule, Wang Xuxian's eyes also turned to Liu Tian's side, he hurriedly walked to Liu Tian's side, first glanced at the ranking in Liu Tian's hand, and then raised his hand to take the sauce prepared on Liu Tian's table, and after using the one that had been washed, he stretched out his little finger and dipped some directly to taste it.
The dipping sauce with a hint of sourness and lemon fragrance is obviously intended for fish dishes, and this dipping sauce is very good in some details, but this is an adjustment to the original fish dipping sauce, and it is not an original sauce at all.
I think that Liu Tian's ranking is so backward, which should be the reason for this original and unoriginal!
"Your water bottle won't have that many at all, and you chose to improve it instead of original with such a dipping sauce?! Why would you do that?! Wang Xuxian believed that Liu Tian had not revealed his true ability at all, but he really couldn't figure out why Liu Tian didn't have to come out because Liu Tian had such strength?
Liu Qian just looked up at Wang Xuxian: "Is there any difference between improvement and originality?" Dipping sauce was originally created to enhance the taste of food, isn't it? Whether it's improved or original, it's all about better enhancing the original taste of things, isn't it? ”
Wang Xuxian was stunned in place, although he knew that what Liu Tian said was right, but in the face of Liu Tian's ranking, he was still a little unwilling, how could the person he regarded as an opponent be so weak? !
On the other side, Fan Yuan listened to Wang Xuxian and Liu Tian talking, and only felt that Wang Xuxian was really funny, as if Liu Qian was amazing, how much ability a forty-two person can have, and it was just a fluke that Liu Qian could win against him before.
However, Wang Xuxian's attitude made Fan Yuan curious, who was this chef who came over after the game to accuse Liu Tian of not giving full play to all his strength?!
Under the trend of curiosity, Fan Yuan walked to Wang Xuxian's stove and opened his ranking record, and at first glance, it turned out to be the first place, which made Fan Yuan stunned in place: "First place......"
Hearing him say this, the other chefs also ran to Wang Xuxian's stove, first confirmed Wang Xuxian's ranking, and then began to be curious about the dipping sauce he made, they took Wang Xuxian's dipping sauce bowl, raised their hands and tasted it, this is a dipping sauce made for chicken, many raw materials have been changed, the ratio of water, rice wine, soy sauce and salt has all been replaced, the addition of ginger and sesame oil also makes this dipping sauce more fragrant, but this fresh fragrance will not cover up the taste of chicken at all.
This is indeed a good dipping sauce, and many of the ingredients seem to be processed in a way that they can't eat, making this sauce more advantageous in enhancing the flavor of the food, and this first place is well deserved!
But Wang Xuxian didn't care about the so-called first place at all, he was only focused on Liu Tian, he felt angry, what happened to this little girl? Why don't you put all your skills to the fullest? If it continues like this, even if it enters the second game, it will be difficult to stand out from it and enter the third game, right?!
Liu Qian looked very unconcerned, and when she heard the exclamation that Wang Xuxian was the first, she also smiled and congratulated Wang Xuxian, because Wang Xuxian and Liu Tian's competition positions were not too far apart, so she could still smell the flavor of the sauce, from the type to the method, she almost knew it.
"It's really good to mix it with boiled scallion oil and sesame oil." Liu Tian said, glancing at the direction of the examiner: "Okay, we have all entered the second competition, it looks like it is about to start, you better go back quickly." ”
Hearing that the most critical way to make dipping sauce was said by Liu Tian, I don't know why, Wang Xuxian felt a lot more relieved in his heart, he sighed: "This is the second game, you must play well, in this case, if you can't enter the third game, how can it be good?!" ”
Liu Tian smiled, nodded to show that he understood, and began to tidy up his stove.
Fan Yuan and the others saw that Wang Xuxian was back, and it was not good to continue to stay, so they returned directly to their positions.
At this time, Fan Yuan remembered that he hadn't taken a good look at his ranking, but it didn't matter, anyway, Liu Tian was only forty-two, anyway, Master's way must be good, so his ranking would definitely be in front of Liu Tian.
But when he opened the paper with the ranking on it, Fan Yuan's face turned pale for a moment, and he turned out to be forty-fifth! It's even further back than Liu Tian? No way, it's absolutely impossible! Could it be that the examiner is mistaken?!
Originally, this competition was going to continue, but it began to rain in the sky, and these stoves were built outside, and the examiners glanced at the weather and announced that today's competition was over, and it would continue at the same time tomorrow.
However, unlike the first competition, the second longest competition is the literary test, which is specifically to innovate a new dish independently, and all the production processes of this dish must be written down in great detail and not altered in one go.
Liu Tian noticed that when Fan Yuan heard that the second competition was a literary test, his face turned white. It's just that she doesn't know why.
After the end of the day's competition, they went directly back to the inn to rest, but as soon as they returned to the inn, Liu Tian saw Wang Lei coming to Wang Xuxian: "I inquired about something, do you remember Fan Yuan who lost to Liu Tian last time I came here to compete, this person is really funny, he doesn't know how to write, I heard that you are going to write in the literary test tomorrow, right?" You'll probably be able to spy on his ugly words by then! ”
Hearing Wang Lei's words, Liu Tian understood, Fang Cai Fan Yuan's face turned pale because his handwriting was too ugly, this cooking competition was originally to show his talent in front of many people, this Fan Yuan is very face-loving, if someone sees his writing so ugly, he will definitely be ridiculed, and he will definitely be unable to hang up on his face at that time.
Hearing this, the corners of Liu Tian's mouth also raised slightly, this wicked man will always have something to embarrass him, is this a kind of retribution?
On the second day, the weather was sunny, and early in the morning, Liu Tian went to the venue of the competition with Wang Xuxian and others.
"Come on!" Seeing that Liu Tian was about to walk to his position, Lin Feng took a step forward and tidied up her clothes: "I have always supported you!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Tian was naturally happy, and the smile on the corner of her mouth had not fully bloomed, when she saw Lin Anyu follow, and directly grabbed Lin Feng's arm: "Sister Ting'er, come on, I will cheer you on with Brother Feng!" ”
Liu Tian's smile froze, she didn't say anything, just nodded, and without even looking at Lin Feng, she turned around and went directly to her place.
came to see her play, saying that she was cheering for her, but Lin Anyu next to her was inseparable, Liu Tian was really irritable, why was this Lin Anyu always ghostly, and what did she mean, she directly grabbed Lin Feng's arm in front of her, was it a demonstration in front of her? !
The more she thought about it, the more resentful Liu Tian felt in her heart, and it took her a long time to calm down, but Liu Tian, who would always glance at Lin Feng before the game, didn't look anywhere this time, and directly sat on his seat with his head down, looking calm and relaxed, and began to polish his ink.
Fan Yuan said that he was unwell in the afternoon of the previous day, so after begging the examiner for a long time, he got the permission of the examiner and brought in a ghostwriter scholar, anyway, he was sitting in a very remote corner, even if he communicated with the scholar and said how to make this dish, no one would hear him, so the examiner did not arrange a new position for him.
However, the people present knew very well in their hearts that this breeder said that he was sick and had no strength in his hands, in fact, he was afraid that his handwriting would be ridiculed before he came up with such a solution, which can be regarded as a little clever, but in this competition, even if he invited a scholar to write for himself, it is impossible to directly advance because of his good writing, in the final analysis, he still has to rely on his own ability, so the players did not raise objections to Fan Yuan's behavior.
After about half an hour, the time of the competition has almost come to an end, Lin Feng's eyes have been wandering around the examination room, when he watched Liu Tian put down his pen calmly, he understood that Liu Tian would definitely pass this game, on the other hand, Fan Yuan, his expression was extremely nervous.
"It's worthy of tilting, this competition should be stable." Lin Feng read softly.
Lin Anyu beside him was unhappy: "Where can I see that she is stable?" ”
