Chapter 27

Everything in life can be summed up in three words: it will pass!

Xu Lei thought about it seriously and felt that he might have thought too much. Girls, after all, will grow up, and it is normal to dress up and pamper yourself occasionally. Taking a step back, they've known each other for such a short time, and at most it's just a little bit of a good feeling. The knife of time can scrape off all scars, and it can also eliminate the already insipid feelings. As long as you don't say anything, you may soon dissipate without a trace.

So Xu Lei rejected Qian Lei's absurd idea and made up his mind to treat it calmly.

..................

After finishing at noon, Xu Lei rode an electric donkey to the civic center. At this time, it is already crowded with people, and all kinds of food vendors fill the outer roads.

For the citizens of a small county town in a remote area, such a lively scene is still rare. What's more, the organizer chose Saturdays and Sundays to hold them, so it's good to take advantage of the holiday to have fun with the whole family.

Each hotel has already delivered its own declared dishes. It is worthy of the chef's meticulous preparation, and all kinds of dishes show the exquisite knife work and the maturity of the fire.

The tamales presented by the "Jiangnan Kitchen" are fat and thin, the dishes are moist and fragrant, and you feel very appetizing when you smell them.

The "four-star moon-gazing moon" of "Jiadi Restaurant" is golden and red in color, dry and soft in powder, and has a long aftertaste. It is rumored that when Taizu led the Red Fourth Army to fight in southern Jiangnan, he specially ordered this dish, which has the reputation of "the first dish in the world".

Xu Lei attaches the most importance to the "thousands of flavors" of the delicious fish head. According to the rules of previous years, tomorrow's cooking competition is divided into four small links: frying, stir-frying, boiling and steaming. The expert judges will designate a certain dish for the contestants to cook according to a certain method, and score them one by one according to the results shown. I don't know the dishes in other links, the "cooked" must be the fish head, after all, it is a local specialty, and it has a bit of a taste of care.

This cooking competition is amateur in nature, and it is basically to join in the fun. In the case of formal competitions, chefs are generally required to complete a creative dish according to the material of the ingredients within the specified time, and then score it according to its taste, appearance, nutritional value and other aspects, which is not something that ordinary chefs can do.

............

Today's exhibition is a promotion of the participating hotels, showcasing their craftsmanship and telling the public about their characteristics. The results have little impact on the final judgment.

Xu Lei watched carefully one by one. In terms of knife work, he is really ashamed of himself, and he is also an amateur. The heat of frying and stir-frying is also slightly inferior, and it seems that there is only some chance of winning by cooking, but it is not certain.

Alas, not to mention that he is not qualified to participate in the competition, even if he is allowed to come up, the hope of winning the award is very slim......

Xu Lei was about to go back to the store after observing when he suddenly heard someone seem to mention him. Following the prestige, a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties was talking to a friend around him: "It's a pity! The day before yesterday, I ate a kind of fish head soup in a small shop called Shishi, and I think it is more authentic and the taste is a little more refreshing." It's a pity that I didn't see him come to the competition. ”

The friend next to the middle-aged man said suspiciously: "No, this competition has been held several times, and in terms of the 'cooking' link, it has always been 'Qianbaiwei' to win the championship, can anyone compare to him?"

"You don't believe it, next time I'll take you over to try it, it tastes amazing!"
