Chapter 39: Knife Competition
Yunlu, the person concerned, just felt funny when he heard the rumors, and didn't care too much.
After a good night's sleep, she changed into her ironed school uniform on the day of the competition, picked up for half an hour, and then went to the fifth floor with her classmates to meet.
Today is the preliminary round, the competition is knife work, everyone is competing on the 5th floor, divided into 20 batches, according to the level of the score to advance.
The time for the match had just been allocated, and she was the third in the morning, around 10 o'clock.
It's seven o'clock in the morning and there are still three hours left.
"Xiaobei, did you eat breakfast?"
She took a little time to comb her hair in the morning, she didn't even have time to eat a slice of bread, and now she was a little hungry.
Yu Xiaobei shook her head: "I'm a little nervous, and I don't feel hungry now." ”
Her game was assigned to the first game in the morning, and she didn't have a chance to refer to other people's competitions, so she was a little afraid.
"Then I'll invite you to breakfast, if you don't eat full, it's easy to have low blood sugar during the game." Yunlu said.
"No, it's too late to go to the restaurant now".
"Who said I was going to the restaurant?"
It's not going to the restaurant, that's where to go?
……
Ten minutes later, under the envious eyes of a group of classmates, Yunlu bought two steamed bun soy milk packages at the vending machine, both of which were first-order spiritual food, but it cost her a few hundred yuan.
"Here you go, I'll treat you to a bun." Yunlu handed one of the breakfasts to Yu Xiaobei.
Yu Xiaobei took it, took a bite, felt delicious, glanced at the packaging bag, found that it was printed with the logo of the hotel, and hurriedly asked: "Is this the spiritual food in the vending machine?" How much did it cost? ”
"It's okay, now the exam is important, I invite you to eat, if you don't want to go, you will make delicious spiritual food and invite me to eat it in the future."
The first-order spiritual food is not expensive in the first place, but it is expensive to sell in the hotel. Yunlu didn't want her to feel pressure, so she found a way to return the favor.
Yu Xiaobei swallowed the bun in her mouth at this time, nodded and said, "Okay, you wait for me to make high-level spiritual food, and then I invite you to eat it." ”
The favor is that today you owe me, and tomorrow I will pay you back, and this is how you go.
Yunlu didn't take this matter to heart, after eating the steamed buns and soy milk, seeing that the game was about to start, she cheered Yu Xiaobei on, and then picked a stand position with a better view and sat down.
I don't know if it's because of the spiritual food, Yu Xiaobei finished breakfast, felt that people had become a lot more energetic, walked onto the competition venue, found their position, and compared a "yes" in the direction of Yunlu from afar.
Yunlu also replied with a "yes".
Nearby classmates, someone noticed their interaction, looked down at their mobile phones, looked up again, and talked to each other: "That girl, is it Yunlu in the thirty-three, the one who did it against Luo Tian?" ”
"It's her, it's her, Luo Tian's game is the first game in the morning, shouldn't she come to see her on purpose?"
"Probably not, I just saw her interacting with another girl, I should have accompanied her to learn."
"Hey, it's all an excuse, it's old-fashioned, do you believe it?"
"Wait, you guys are quieter, everyone else hears you."
Several people suddenly realized that the person concerned was by their side, and they turned around one after another, just in line with Yun Lu's gaze.
Yunlu: ......
She thought that the rumors were just spread by a small number of people who were full of food and had nothing to do, but it turned out that the scope of the rumors was already so wide, and they were all discussed in front of her.
"Hi, hello......" The few people who spoke smiled awkwardly at her.
Yunlu also returned an embarrassed but polite smile.
The atmosphere of the scene suddenly froze.
However, this situation did not last long, as the game time approached, the surrounding seats gradually filled with people, and the sound of conversation one after another slowly diluted the silent embarrassment.
However, because of this, Yunlu deliberately found Luo Tian's location and paid attention to her by the way.
Coincidentally, Luo Tian's location was not far from Yu Xiaobei, just opposite her.
It's good that she can follow the game of two people at the same time.
At 8:30 a.m., the first knife competition started on time.
The rules of the competition are to select any ingredient on the spot and cut it into shreds as much as possible, among which the higher the difficulty of shredding, the more uniform and fine the shredding, the higher the competition result.
The knife competition is an elimination system, and 50% of the contestants are directly eliminated.
Looking at the strict rules of the game, Yunlu somewhat understood why Gu's father insisted on sending her to the Taoist Temple for special training before the competition.
On the competition field, dozens of case boards are spaced one meter apart from each other, and the food cabinet behind them is already full of ingredients, which can be selected by them.
Most of the students hesitated, planning to observe the ingredients selected by others before deciding on their own.
Yu Xiaobei also had difficulty choosing, but the competition time was limited, so she couldn't afford to be entangled repeatedly, and in the end, she finally made up her mind and chose Golden Garlic.
The golden garlic head with a diameter of five centimeters is filled with more than a dozen garlic cloves, each round and smooth, and it is difficult to slice, let alone shredd.
Shredding garlic is one of the methods used by many spiritual eaters to practice knife work, among them, the golden garlic is the most testing.
The golden garlic, which is smoother than ordinary garlic, was pressed under Yu Xiaobei's fingers, controlled the strength, found the right direction, and was cut into slices unhurriedly, and then turned into shreds.
The teacher, who always pays attention to the performance of her classmates, sees her shredding action, and scores her from multiple perspectives such as the proficiency of the action, the difficulty of the shredding, and the results of shredding.
A student's score is commented on by five teachers, removing the highest score, then taking the lowest score, and then taking the average, which is the student's final score.
As an outsider, Yun Lu didn't know the scoring criteria, but she only glanced at it, and just by Yu Xiaobei's shredded state, she could judge that she was stronger than the vast majority of people present.
In knife competitions, the elimination rate is 50%, in other words, as long as you are better than most of the students present, then you will advance.
Knowing that Yu Xiaobei had stabilized the game, Yunlu set her eyes on Luo Tian again.
Luo Tian is a very sweet-looking girl, and she exudes a sweet feeling between her gestures, and even the ingredients she chooses are also sweet types.
She chose honey melon.
Honey melon, is a kind of high sugar content, the taste is like honey, half a watermelon is the size, cut in half, the sweet juice is like honey, sticky hanging on the melon wall, flowing very slowly.
This kind of melon, when cutting it, it must be fast enough and accurate enough. If you can't cut it in less than 10 seconds, its thick juice will reconnect the flesh that hasn't been completely disconnected.
The reconnected flesh cannot be cut again, otherwise it will directly become pureed.
Luo Tian cleaned the melon first, then cut the melon in half, pressed half of the melon on the board, pressed the melon skin with his left hand, held the knife with his right hand, and the back of the knife was next to the two curved fingers of his left hand.
Spread the sliced melon evenly, and with the same action, the slices turn into shreds.
Her movements were done in one go, without hesitation, and they were completed beautifully.
Finally, she put the cut melon into the water, stirred twice, the juice outside the melon dissolved, and the flesh of the melon, which had already become filamentous, was evenly scattered in the water.
