Chapter 242: Compete Again
Time passed day by day, but Officer Song never came to him since that day, Xiao Yu was also happy and quiet, seeing that the day of the opening of Zhongtian University was approaching, and Xiao Yu's study in the culinary school was about to come to an end.
During this period of study in the culinary school, Xiao Yu has gained a lot, and now he can cook 40 or 50 practical dishes of different grades, in addition to this, he has benefited a lot from the basic theory of cooking and nutrition.
After such a long period of hands-on practice, his cooking level has reached 99% of the intermediate level, and he is only one step away from breaking through.
It's just that the mysterious 'heart of the kitchen' is still incomprehensible, which makes Xiaoyu infinitely feel that there is no end to learning and it is difficult to comprehend.
This day is noon.
Xiao Yu and Shen Mengqi, Er Ya, and Ling Yun were eating in the cafeteria, Ling Yun suddenly glanced at Xiao Yu, snorted behind Xiao Yu, and whispered, "Xiao Yu, look!" That skinny monkey is coming! ”
Xiao Yu turned his head, and sure enough, Shi Jianlong's little brother Thin Monkey was walking towards him, while Shi Jianlong and the others were sitting at a dining table in the distance and looking at him.
"What is he doing here?" Xiao Yu frowned, and couldn't help but think in his heart.
Since the competition with Shi Jianlong, Xiao Yu has almost no intersection with that group, and he rarely even meets him for lunch, and now that he is about to graduate, what is he doing at this time?
"Senior, don't pay attention to this kind of person, if they dare to come to us for trouble again, I will tell the principal to expel them!" Shen Mengqi said angrily on the side.
Xiao Yu smiled slightly and said to her, "Xiao Qi, if the principal can fire people so casually, who would dare to come to this school to teach classes?" Let's not rush and hear what he has to say. ”
At this time, the thin monkey had already walked up to Xiao Yu and said to him with a big grin, "Zhang Xiaoyu, long time no see!" How? You're going to graduate, right? How are you doing? ”
Xiao Yu glanced at him up and down, and said lightly, "Two months is too short, how can it be compared to you long-term students?" I don't seem to have seen you in the last few weeks, where have you been? ”
"Hehe, I went to Hangzhou for a spin and participated in the inter-school competition of cooking schools in six provinces and one city in East China, and Brother Long won the first place on behalf of our school!" The thin monkey's little chest was drawn high, and his two monkey eyes were shining, as if he had received the honor of first place.
Xiao Yu and the four of them couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, this Shi Jianlong is really extraordinary, he actually won the first place in the inter-provincial competition, and he is worthy of being a disciple of the God of Cooking.
"Hey, Skinny Monkey, you didn't come to us just to say that your boss got the first thing, did you? If you have something to say, don't go around in circles! The more Shen Mengqi looked at this thin monkey, the more unpleasant she became, and she couldn't help but interject beside her.
"You!" Thin Monkey heard Shen Mengqi directly call him by his nickname, so angry that his head was bruised, Shi Jianlong They can call him this nickname, but others call him 'Thin Monkey' but he is very angry, especially Shen Mengqi, a stinky little girl who has not dried up, wanted to pick two swear words and scold back, but after glancing at Xiao Yu and Ling Yun, he dispelled his thoughts again, and swallowed the swear words that came to his mouth.
A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, he knows that Xiaoyu is not easy to mess with.
The thin monkey looked at Xiao Yupi and said with a smile, "Our boss asked me to come to the war book, and he said, since you are about to graduate, you will have another competition with him, or the original lottery, how about it?" Do you dare to compare? ”
Looking at the tall appearance of the thin monkey, Shen Mengqi couldn't wait to kick him in the face, but Xiao Yu had to take the idea of cooking skills, and the eyes of the three of them shot towards Xiao Yu together.
Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, "Since we dared to compete with you on the first day of school, it's even more okay now, but this color is too old-fashioned, I think it's better to change it?" ”
"Change the color head? What do you want to change? There was a hint of doubt on the thin monkey's face, could it be that Xiaoyu wanted to gamble for money?
"The winner can make a request to the loser, and this request must be within the opponent's ability and does not involve insults, money, or anything illegal, do you agree?"
"This ......" The thin monkey's brain turned quickly, and it seemed that there was nothing difficult about this request, and said to Xiao Yu, "You wait a minute, I'll go talk to the boss!" ”
After speaking, he trotted towards Shi Jianlong's side.
Shen Mengqi and the others all looked at Xiao Yu with puzzled eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, but since this request could not be insulting, kneeling and kowtowing was naturally not among them.
After a while, the thin monkey ran back again, and said, "Our boss agreed, it's five o'clock this afternoon, and it's still in the old place!" As for the competition questions, it's up to you to pick! ”
The thin monkey had arrogance on his face, and it was obvious that with his boss's ability, no matter what problems Xiao Yu had in this regard, they would follow on their side.
Xiao Yu exchanged glances with Shen Mengqi and the others, and a strange smile appeared on his face, "Our topic this time is - fish-flavored shredded pork!" ”
"Fish-flavored shredded pork?" The skinny monkey opened his mouth wide and looked incredulous, and it took a moment before he spoke, "You're not mistaken, are you?" Zhang Xiaoyu, do you really want to compare this dish? ”
Xiao Yu didn't answer, just nodded heavily, and Shen Mengqi and the three of them also showed affirmative expressions on their faces, where they fell, they had to get up from there, since the thin monkey criticized the dish they made two months ago, then two months later, they had to let the thin monkey see the difference in this fish-flavored shredded meat!
"Good! Zhang Xiaoyu, you have a kind! The thin monkey gestured to Xiao Yu with a thumbs up and said to him, "We'll see you in the afternoon!" ”
Looking at the back of the thin monkey leaving, Erya said to Xiao Yu with wide eyes, "Brother Xiao Yu, they seem to have won the first place, can we really beat them this time?" ”
Xiao Yu's face showed a confident expression, and he said to Erya, "Erya, the first place is not terrible, can he still surpass the kitchen god?" Have we not made progress in these two months? I believe that as long as we all work together, we will be able to defeat each other! ”
"Hmmm! Brother Xiaoyu, I believe in you! Erya's eyes lit up with adoration.
Xiao Yu's words also aroused the fighting spirit of Shen Mengqi and Ling Yun, in their hearts, as long as Xiao Yu is there, their combination will definitely not be afraid of any opponent.
××××× five o'clock in the afternoon.
Chinese Cuisine Practice Hall.
Xiao Yu and Shi Jianlong confronted each other on an operating table.
There were fifty or sixty people around them, half of them were Shi Jianlong's classmates, and the other half were students of the summer training class who had learned the news and volunteered to stay and cheer for Xiao Yu and them.
The kitchen god sat on a large chair and looked at the people on both sides, his face calm and without any fluctuations.
Shi Jianlong was still able to invite the God of Kitchen as a judge, which surprised Xiao Yu and them, in recent times, the God of Kitchen has almost never appeared in school, Ling Yun doesn't know how many times he has gone to the teacher's office to find the God of Kitchen, and every time he has taken advantage of the excitement and returned disappointed.
It is said that the God of Kitchen has taken a long vacation and has not come to school for more than a month, but I didn't expect that this time Shi Jianlong could invite his old man to come, it seems that Shi Jianlong is not a student of the God of Kitchen.
"It's time, it's time to play!"
With the order of the kitchen god, the people on both sides immediately got busy.
Xiao Yu's side has already allocated manpower, Er Ya is responsible for cutting shredded meat, Shen Mengqi is responsible for cutting shredded bamboo shoots and cleaning fungus, Ling Yun is responsible for eating carving, and Xiao Yu is responsible for the most critical part - cooking.
Soon, the work of Er Ya and Shen Mengqi was completed, and after two months of systematic study, the knife work of the two of them has made great progress, and the shredded meat and bamboo shoots cut out are almost the same thickness, and the roots can stand the test of vernier calipers.
However, Ling Yun had not yet started to move, he was holding a huge white radish in his hand, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was contemplating the work he was about to carve.
Xiao Yu did not observe the opponent's movements like last time, but focused all his attention on the wok in front of him, and the kind face of Lao Zhangtou appeared in front of his eyes, and his dish this time was ready to be made for Lao Zhangtou.
Old Zhangtou's voice and smile appeared in front of him one by one, is he used to living under Jiuquan? Are you eating okay?
Xiao Yu's attention has never been so focused, although under the gaze of more than fifty people, he did not feel the slightest pressure, in his heart, there was only one thought: "This dish is to be made for godfather!" ”
The people around him were all looking at Xiao Yu, with a strange expression on his face, Shi Jianlong had already started stir-frying, but Xiao Yu was still staring at the wok in a daze, without any movement, could it be that he was afraid? Scared of war?
Why did you bother in the first place? Wouldn't it be better not to agree to the other party's request for a competition? Why wait until this time to make a fool of yourself in public?
Shen Mengqi and Erya didn't have any nervousness on their faces, they 100% believed that Xiao Yu was definitely not afraid of each other, as for what Xiao Yu was thinking, although they didn't know, they absolutely believed that Xiao Yu would definitely be able to complete this dish within the specified time!
Suddenly, Xiao Yu moved, his movements were like flowing water, which seemed to contain a peculiar rhythm, which made people feel so smooth and natural, as if a small action of his waving spoon contained the truth between heaven and earth.
His expression was focused, his lips were slightly pursed, and a pair of eyes showed excitement, as if an inexplicable aura was shrouded in his body, spreading out to all sides, and those who were close to this aura had only one feeling in their hearts, self-confidence, strong self-confidence.
"Hint, comprehend the heart of the kitchen, and the degree of integration is 10%."
"Hint, upgrade your cooking skills to advanced, proficiency by 1%."
