Chapter 53: Advancing by Rubbing the Edge (Four Changes)
Xu Qiao stood in place and watched the street corner where Xu Jing and Du Changhua disappeared, but thought about whether to help Xu Jing? After all, she once gave her a little warmth, although this warmth was purposeful!
Let's watch it when the game is over! If Xu Jing needs it, she can help her once.
On the day of the food competition, it was rare to have a light rain. took away the sultry heat at the end of the summer, and finally had a hint of coolness.
Xu Qiao got up early in the morning and looked at the drizzling rain outside the window, feeling a little apprehensive.
Exhaled, washed and changed.
When he came out of the bedroom, he saw Zhou Yansheng sitting in the living room in a very formal outfit, with black suit pants, white shirt, sleeves pulled up at his elbows, revealing his slender and strong arms.
suddenly went from a decadent man to an elite man.
Zhou Yansheng looked at Xu Qiao, who was wearing a white shirt and cropped pants, and was also stunned.
Xu Qiao, who has a serious expression, has a bit of a cold temperament. It's different from before, young and calm.
Xu Qiao looked at Zhou Yansheng who was in a daze and smiled: "Who are you?" ”
Zhou Yansheng hurriedly came back to his senses: "I'll send you over!" ”
Xu Qiao was not polite: "Okay, after all, you are the boss of the only place, and you should go." And the place of the preliminary round is in the vocational skills school, which is quite far from here. ”
Zhou Yansheng got up and raised the car key in his hand: "Let's go." ”
Xu Qiao was very silent along the way, and Zhou Yansheng also changed his usual poor mouth, and drove seriously with the corners of his mouth pursed.
The atmosphere in the car was inexplicably a little weird.
Zhou Yansheng touched his nose and found a topic: "Have you thought about the countermeasures in case of accidents?" ”
Xu Qiao came back to his senses, and he didn't hide it: "I thought about it, if there is an accident, I will make flame fragrant tea and drunk shrimp." ”
Zhou Yansheng was curious: "What kind of dish is this?" Flame? After speaking, he said a little jokingly: "It won't be because of Lao Gu, right?" ”
Xu Qiao looked calm: "Yes." ”
Zhou Yansheng sneered, flicking his teeth on the tip of his tongue, he shouldn't have spoken too much.
Then there was silence all the way.
Zhou Yansheng discovered that Xu Qiao, a little girl, would only be particularly enthusiastic and talk a lot when facing Gu Chengchuan. In other words, she is quiet most of the time.
Talk to her and she'll take care of you.
If she didn't take the initiative to talk to her, she would have been silent.
In her words, no one can do it except Lao Gu!
As soon as the car turned into the road of the vocational college, there were more cars and motorcycles of all kinds, and there were already early arrivals, waiting at the school gate to prepare for the gathering.
Zhou Yansheng parked the car and asked Xu Qiao to sign in first, and he went to get the ingredients in the trunk.
The chicken and shrimp are placed in an insulated bag and protected with an ice pack.
Because of the large number of people in the preliminary round, the judges were divided into ten groups, and each group was responsible for 30 contestants. Only three of the 30 people in each group will make it to the finals. So the competition is still quite fierce.
Xu Qiao drew the number plate and followed the guide into the competition area.
The preliminary round requires no assistant, and the competition is the basic skills of the contestants.
Xu Qiao has no professional training, relying on her own interests and hobbies, and she figured it out little by little.
So in terms of knife work, she is a little worse than other chefs, but she is more serious and has an excellent appearance.
People always like beautiful things, and a beautiful chef cooks a dish that will also bring a pleasing sensory treat to the eye.
The three judges also paid more attention to Xu Qiao, and even gave a lot more shots from the camera.
Xu Qiao used to have a perverse personality and had never seen any occasion, so at this time, under the camera, he can still ensure a calm heart. Handle the ingredients without hurry.
Some of them participated in the competition for the first time, and there were cameras next to them, so they were inevitably a little nervous, and their hands holding kitchen knives were a little shaky.
The beautiful hostess will stop in front of each contestant for a while to do a simple interview.
Seeing Xu Qiao, the host was also a little more interested, and looked at Xu Qiao with a particularly friendly smile: "Xu Qiao, the No. 10 contestant, is from a unique place. Xu Qiao, can you excuse me? ”
Xu Qiao stopped what she was doing, raised her eyes to look at the host, and looked calm: "Yes." ”
made the host can't help but admire in his heart, the few young men interviewed just now were a little trembling in front of the camera, but he didn't expect Xu Qiao to be very calm at a young age. smiled more kindly: "Look at your young age, have you studied with a famous teacher?" ”
Xu Qiao nodded, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
The host was not embarrassed: "Can you introduce some of today's entries?" ”
Xu Qiao smiled shallowly at the camera: "My entry is hibiscus chicken slices......"
Because Xu Qiao has a good sense of the camera, although the cooking level is not the best, it can also rank in the top five of this group, and finally the judges gave Xu Qiao the highest score after discussion.
I think this little girl still has a lot of room for improvement. The TV station believes that Xu Qiao's appearance can also bring a lot of traffic to the show.
At the end of the competition, Xu Qiao didn't have much joy after hearing that she was shortlisted, she knew that she had won this time in terms of mental quality and appearance. In terms of real level, the contestants who are out of shape are probably much better than her.
So in the next semi-finals, she was a little passive and difficult.
Zhou Yansheng has been standing at the door of the hall, waiting a little anxiously, that anxious feeling has not passed for many years, and he is even more nervous than taking the college entrance examination back then. I don't know where this inexplicable emotion comes from.
When he saw Xu Qiao quietly coming out with the crowd, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The quiet appearance of the little girl is a bit like a white magnolia budding on the branches in spring, elegant and calm.
Zhou Yansheng shook off the adjectives that suddenly appeared in his mind, and greeted him with a smile: "Yes, well done!" I've heard the shortlist on the radio. Sure enough, it didn't disappoint Brother Yan Sheng. ”
Xu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems to be more difficult than I thought." ”
Zhou Yansheng stretched out his hand and rubbed her head: "Don't worry, with your brother Yansheng here, there will definitely be no problem." Now let's go to Lao Gu and tell him the good news. ”
Xu Qiao thought about it and shook her head: "No, I want to go to Huo Xinyan." ”
She wants Gu Chengchuan to see her on TV!
Zhou Yansheng didn't refuse: "Okay, I'll send you over, and then I happen to have something to do to find Lao Gu, do you want to pick you up in the afternoon?" ”
Xu Qiao shook his head again: "No, I'll go back by myself." ”
On the way to find Huo Xinyan, Zhou Yansheng regained his hippie personality, and kept talking, mostly asking about some things in the competition.
Xu Qiao has to answer all questions, the nature has not been high, Zhou Yansheng knew that this was a blow in the competition, and smiled and relieved: "Actually, it's okay, the judges sometimes score according to personal preferences." So you don't have to be the best to get the highest score. When you are in the semi-finals, you have to invite 20 spectators from the sidelines to participate in the scoring. In this case, it is all a matter of personal preference. ”
