Chapter 16 Pass the preliminary examination
Tang Xiaoqi used a very skilled knife to chop this piece of meat into several pieces, each of which was about the same size, and it could be seen that he must have cooked a lot, otherwise he would not have such a powerful skill.
He first marinated all the meat, and then mixed the sauce, and the sour and sweet taste slowly spread in the air, making everyone in the audience stop their movements.
The chefs next to him smelled such a strong fragrance, and suddenly felt that there was no hope for the dishes in their hands.
The judges immediately got up from their seats when they saw her amazing knife work, he had never met someone so talented in cooking after so many years of working in this industry.
Tang Xiaoqi pushed all the meat into the pot, and after frying it, he fished it out again, and put a few hawthorns in it.
An associate judge next to him was very curious when he saw Tang Xiaoqi's actions, "If I guessed correctly, he should be making sweet and sour tenderloin, but why do you want to add hawthorn to this sweet and sour tenderloin?" ”
The other judge didn't know what Tang Xiaoqi was going to do, and he hadn't heard of hawthorn in it.
Without all of them understanding, she took out all the cores of these hawthorns, and then put them all in the oil pan and fried them several times.
Then Tang Xiaoqi put all the things he had done on a plate and poured the juice on them.
When these judges saw Tang Xiaoqi finish the dish, they immediately came over.
They immediately picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, the sauce was very particular, the heat was just right, and the tenderloin was fried at the right time, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
All of them have to admit that this dish is indeed very perfect, and the only fly in the ointment is that they will feel very tired after eating too much.
Tang Xiaoqi and the expressions of several of them seemed to have guessed what they were thinking, and immediately pushed the hawthorn in front of several of them.
"This dish is still recommended to be used with hawthorn, after all, after eating too much sweet things, it is inevitable that you will feel very greasy, if there is such a sour thing, it will feel better to mix it."
Several people ate a few hawthorns at once, and after the sour flavor was reconciled, everyone felt that their stomachs were much more comfortable, and they wanted to continue eating after eating.
"Little girl, I didn't expect that your cooking skills have reached such a level at such a young age. You've passed our preliminary round, and you have two days to prepare before you can make it to our second round of finals. ”
One of the interviewers pulled Tang Xiaoqi and said earnestly, "You are the only most talented girl I have seen in so many years, I think you should have no problem entering the finals, but I want to remind you that in the end, the one who competed with you was the champion of three consecutive years, and it was also the chef we had to take charge of." ”
"His reputation on our side is very big, this is an opportunity for you, if you can really win this chef this time, your reputation in our capital will be ruined."
Tang Xiaoqi listened to what the judge said, it was indeed very attractive, but she didn't care whether her reputation would be knocked down at all, what she cared about was whether the money could really get into her own hands.
"Judge, let me be honest with you, in fact, I came to participate in the competition this time purely because I was short of money, and I just wanted to know if the money would really come into my hands?"
The judges were amused by Tang Xiaoqi's words, how could it not be in her hands?
"Don't worry, the money will definitely go to you, since we dare to hold the competition, then it shows that it is absolutely fair and just. You don't have to worry. ”
When Tang Xiaoqi heard this, he was finally relieved, as long as this group of people didn't cheat and cheat.
He returned to the place where he lived and told his father the good news, and Tang's father was also very happy after knowing about it, he didn't expect his daughter to be so talented.
"Xiao Qi, when you were born at the beginning, we never thought that you would become such an excellent girl. But now that you have grown into such a person, your mother and I are very pleased. ”
Tang Xiaoqi felt this hard-won family affection, she swore that she would definitely treat the two old men well, and she would definitely return the love that Tang Xiaoqi had not given to these two old men before.
"Father, I hope you can go and cheer me on when I race, and if you're there, I think I'll be even more motivated."
Father Tang wiped the tears on his face very excitedly, "Good boy, don't worry, I told the captain that day, I will definitely participate." ”
Tang Xiaoqi went to bed immediately after getting Tang's father's answer, she was tired for a day today, and she participated in such a draining competition, she really needed to take a good rest.
The next day, Tang Xiaoqi went to the pharmacy as usual, and after the shopkeeper heard that Tang Xiaoqi was not brought in last night, he was very angry at their group.
Seeing Tang Xiaoqi coming over with a tired face today, he immediately came here to apologize to her.
"Xiao Qi, I've already told this group of people well, they just don't have a long brain, and they actually forgot about you there."
Tang Xiaoqi also knew that they definitely didn't mean it, it was just because they went too far behind, and they didn't find out for a while, so they did such a thing.
"Shopkeeper, it's okay, they didn't mean to." Tang Xiaoqi is very generous about this matter, but in fact, it is not a big deal.
If it weren't for yesterday's mistake, he would not have found such a good opportunity to make money.
"By the way, the shopkeeper, I'm going to ask you for a leave of absence tomorrow, I found a game when I came back, I want to participate, I'm really short of money during this time."
The shopkeeper is also a reasonable person, whenever he knows who is in trouble, he will go to help, and now when he hears Tang Xiaoqi say this, he will naturally not refuse her request.
"Xiao Qi, you are going to the competition, I naturally support you, but you must take care of your work first, you know? Don't leave it all behind. ”
Tang Xiaoqi knew what she had to do, and she would never leave any trouble for the boss.
The two of them negotiated the work here, Tang Xiaoqi also saw a lot of patients today, and even some patients also watched Tang Xiaoqi's craftsmanship there on the day of the preliminary competition.
