The outside of the mediation hall was already surrounded by people from inside and outside the town who came to see the excitement, and even the crooked neck tree in the police station trembled and carried several people, making a squeaky moan. On one side of the door of the 100-square-meter mediation hall, a whole team of soldiers from the garrison stood expressionlessly with their hands behind their backs, and in front of the long conference table in front of them, the old Yang Yiying of the security station was talking with Lian Kecheng, and the other side was already occupied. The ground is temporarily laid with a pale green sterilization blanket and placed two huge pure white rounded corner operating tables, surrounded by a circle of water-light dustproof glass to enclose the two-meter-square operating table in the center, and there are several touch input light screens on the side of the glass, which are flashing crystal blue light square grids in turn, showing that the operation space is being sterilized.

"This is a new type of console launched by Shenhai Company at the beginning of the year, and I heard that in addition to the original fully equipped kitchen spare utensils, it has also integrated and added sterilization and moisturizing functions." Adjutant Xu said and motioned to the tall soldiers standing on the left and right, and the two soldiers stepped forward and opened the glass baffle in front of the right operating table. "The left shopkeeper came earlier, he chose the operation table on the left, and you can only be on the right, the little boss."

"Little Boss Rain." Zuo Minglei, who had already stood still in the operating table on the left, saw Hugo's arrival, and said with a full heart: "As the old saying goes, there is a cloud and the left is respected, since I am the first to arrive, you are welcome." Zuo Minglei is wearing a pure white chef's uniform with red edges today, which looks atmospheric and solemn. He didn't say anything more, solemnly adjusted the chef's hat on his head, took a deep breath, and nodded to Adjutant Xu to indicate that he was ready.

"Look at your dead fat man, dressed like a king with a cover on his body, and he is still respectful?" Sister Hong'er was the most disgusted person in front of him, so she glanced at Zuo Minglei with disgust, and threw away a sentence unceremoniously. "Your left fat man is really as smooth as your bald head, and you are not afraid that the toilet will stop you from leaking into the sewer when you go to the toilet?"

The crowd heard Sister Hong'er's weird scolding, and laughed. Seeing that even the guards standing at the door held back their laughter and held back their necks, Zuo Minglei was embarrassed, and his appearance just now was also destroyed by the fire clouds in front of his cheeks and behind his ears. Sister Hong glanced at Zuo Minglei and then turned around and patted Hugo's shoulder with satisfaction: "Go Xiaoguozi, hack him to death." ”

Hugo smiled bitterly, thinking about how funny his outfit must be in the eyes of everyone, and the "victory blade" on his head...... He walked to the workbench with stiff steps, caught a glimpse of a chef's hat on the table, and quickly touched it and put it on his head to cover the towering hair, and then he felt a lot more settled.

"Now that both sides have arrived, let's get ready to begin." Lian Kecheng said and slowly stood up from the table, his two eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes flashed with amusement, obviously he was in high spirits today.

"The kitchen utensils in front of everyone's operating table are the same, and these operating tables are originally prepared for the Winter Fishing Banquet on Lake Milal, so you are familiar with it in advance."

The crowd outside the mediation hall couldn't help but exclaim in unison when they heard Lian Kecheng's words, originally everyone speculated that Lian Kecheng might just let Chef Hugo have a private banquet, although no one guessed that Hugo was chosen to go to the chef's annual Winter Fishing Banquet on Lake Miral, but after all, there was no reliable news, and the Zunyu Banquet was completed by the various safari tribes every year according to tradition, and there was never a precedent for the chef to be taken by an outsider.

It's really a chef's fish feast...... The restaurant shopkeepers in the crowd who came to see the excitement couldn't help but regret a little when they thought of this, why didn't they stand up like Zuo Minglei yesterday, and then looked at Zuo Minglei and Hugo with envy.

"The time is two hours, there is no limit to the kitchenware, there is no limit to the dishes, and the accessories and side dishes can also be selected under the counter, there are no restrictions." Lian Kecheng raised his voice slightly, and the crowd suddenly quieted down, "As for the topic and the main ingredients......

Lian Kecheng paused slightly and looked at Adjutant Xu next to him. Adjutant Xu understood, clapped his hands, and shouted outside the door: "Bring it up!" ”

Hugo and Zuo Minglei looked outside the mediation hall with the crowd, only to see two barefoot soldiers with yellow mud in their hands, each carrying a straw basket, separated from the crowd and walked in, and put the two straw baskets in front of Hugo and Zuo Minglei's operating table. The straw basket is the kind that every household in Tongjia Town has, it looks like it is more than 20 centimeters high, and the lid is tightly buttoned on it, and there is yellow muddy water dripping on the ground little by little, I don't know what it contains.

Hugo and Zuo Minglei's eyes shrank suddenly at the same time, Zuo Minglei seemed to have guessed what was inside, and smiled slightly. Hugo on the other side frowned, staring intently at the two straw baskets.

Lian Kecheng watched the two react differently from the sidelines, smiled silently, and waved his hand to let people open the lid on the straw basket. The two soldiers who brought the straw basket had just bent down to remove the lid on the top of the basket, and before they could get up, they saw a black shadow bounce up from the basket and jump high, and then fell back into the basket with the yellow muddy water.

Hugo and Zuo Minglei were so close that they naturally saw it clearly, Lian Kecheng stepped forward and walked to the grass basket, stretched out his hand and pinched out one from the basket, and praised it in front of him:

"What a fat yellow loach!"

Except for Hugo and Zuo Minglei, including Lao Yang, everyone in the mediation hall did not expect that the main ingredients of the chef who decided to make the winter fishing banquet would be so ordinary, even earthy. The yellow loach is not something unique to Tongjia Town, and it is naturally easy to accumulate water in the lower Ye pits, and the water is naturally muddy. Throughout the rainy season, these black loaches writhe in the puddles at the edge of the pit, and happily drill in the yellow mud at the bottom of the pit. The children in Xia Ye have caught these ordinary yellow loaches the most since they were young. Good luck caught one, happily pinched in his hand and ran home to show his mother the rain, and was praised for eating a pot of stewed loach with hot air at night. Lao Yang squinted at Lian Kecheng who was pinching the loaches, and muttered in his heart, the tastes of people here are different, no wonder someone came to buy the unpalatable ice mushrooms, who would have thought that the yellow loaches all over the ground could also be used as the main ingredient of the competition?

Lian Kecheng threw the yellow loach in his hand back into the grass basket, took the towel from a person from Tongjia Town, who was watching the excitement, wiped his hands, and threw the towel to Adjutant Xu next to him and said: "When I was a road maintenance soldier in Tongjia Town many years ago, I rarely saw such a fat loach. At that time, we carried the motor to repair the road every day, washed our hands and feet in the big puddle on the side of the road near dusk, and brought two loaches back to add food, which was really a simple and happy day......

"Your main ingredient today is this yellow loach." Lian Kecheng walked back to the table, stretched out his right hand to Hugo and Zuo Minglei and looked at his watch: "You can start." ”

Zuo Minglei nodded, after thinking for a while, he pulled up his sleeves, picked out three live loaches of moderate size from the straw basket, put them in the pool on the side of the console and rinsed them, and then bent down and picked out five small chives in turn. I saw Zuo Minglei's chubby wrist shake nimble somehow, a row of green and red peppers was neatly stacked on the cutting board, Zuo Minglei's hands did not stop, the chubby fingers of his left hand were holding this row of green and red peppers, and the knife light in his right hand was almost close to the fingers and flying up and down, "Tuk Tuk Tuk" was just a blink of an eye, this row of green and red peppers was cut into thin strips of finger thickness, and then together, the thin strips became pieces the size of fingernails. I saw Zuo Minglei slightly side of the kitchen knife in his hand, and the cut green and red pepper pieces and the previously cut green onion segments were clearly separated on the cutting board on both sides of the kitchen knife. Zuo Minglei stretched out his hand and pressed a few times on the light screen on the right side, turned off the water in the pool, and breathed a sigh of relief, the whole process was completed in one go, without a single pause.

Lao Yang and the people of Tongjia Town, who stretched out their necks outside the mediation hall, couldn't help but be stunned, from their point of view, the fat man in front of them turned his left and right hands flexibly, and those thick fingers were just wiped on the cutting board, and then wiped, with the sound of "tuk tuk tuk" chopping vegetables, the whole green and red peppers turned into tiny pieces.

“…… This fat man on the left hides deep enough...... This knife work will definitely not be able to do such a neat and standard movement without professional training. The crowd outside the mediation hall whispered through the window. Lao Yang opened his mouth wide and stared intently at Zuo Minglei's operation room, gently moved his straight neck, and didn't notice that his butt had left his seat unconsciously. "It seems that in the future, I will have to go to eat for the sky and sit ......" Lao Yang secretly thought, like the crowd of onlookers outside, he seemed to have forgotten that if Zuo Minglei failed, he would have to leave Tongjia Town, and this wish would probably be difficult to realize.

"Look at the little boss of the rain, he ...... What's he doing? Some of them came back to their senses and hurried to see Hugo, but everyone looked at them and couldn't help but be amazed.

Hugo did nothing.

He just bent down at the beginning, selected some fresh side dishes under the counter, broke them and threw them into the pool, selected two yellow loaches of moderate size in the straw basket, and then put these two loaches into the pool like Zuo Minglei and put water to rinse, and then ...... Then he leaned on the operating table with his chin propped up, watching Zuo Minglei's knife light flying up and down next door, and nodded slightly when he saw it, how can he describe it leisurely.

Hugo's demeanor fell in the eyes of others, and those who knew him thought that he was confident, and looked at the next door with the meaning of watching a monkey show; I didn't know that he thought that he was shocked when he saw Zuo Minglei Xiaolu's knife work, and he was ready to give up; Most people are puzzled, what is the little boss doing?

Sister Hong on the sidelines looked at Zuo Minglei's side from time to time, and then saw that Hugo was still looking at the Western scenery, subconsciously twisting her two hands together and turning over non-stop, and she was also playing a small drum in her heart. She knew that Hugo was indeed good at cooking, but she had not undergone professional training, and she had never had similar competitions with others, so she really had no bottom in her heart. The most important thing is that she is also puzzled, what is Xiaoguo doing?
