Chapter 86: Lingering Voices
Yesterday, Steward Cai was afraid of messing up the plan of the shopkeeper Tang, so he suffered a loss, but now that these guys have fallen into the Gu, he doesn't want to get used to each other anymore.
Xu Yang glanced at the other party, and didn't even bother to reply.
It's just a clown who jumps off the beam, and he doesn't hesitate to pay attention to it.
Zhang Tianxiang, who was still worried on the way here, took out a posture of losing but not losing at this time, "You Yuelai Restaurant haven't wrapped the three hundred taels of silver to us, how can we be willing to go back?"
"Boy, when you are dying, you dare to be so sharp-tongued, and when you lose the competition, don't cry your nose. Steward Cai pursed his lips disdainfully.
"Hehe, if you lose, shouldn't you smash the signboard of the No. 1 restaurant in Changhe County?
Seeing these two guys arguing there, the shopkeeper Tang of Yuelai Restaurant didn't pay attention to it.
He said to Xu Yang with a high-spirited face: "Little Brother Xu, why don't we give the judges first?"
"Okay, then let's pick and choose from the surrounding audience. Xu Yang nodded.
Then he turned and shouted to the crowd, "Guys, who among you wants to be a judge?"
In the competition, there must be judges, or who will determine the final winner or loser?
The crowd, which was quite noisy just now, suddenly fell silent.
Such a novel street cooking competition, everyone has met for the first time in their lives, and no one knows how to do this judge.
Most people come purely to see the excitement, and no one wants to be in the limelight.
So after Xu Yang finished asking, no one answered.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper Tang of Yuelai Restaurant directly glanced at the crowd on the right.
Immediately, five people raised their hands and said, "I'm coming, I'm coming......"
This small action of shopkeeper Tang has long been seen by Xu Yang, but he still smiled and said to the other party: "Shopkeeper Tang, you can pick it." ”
He relied on his strength to crush him, and he was not afraid of the other party doing these small actions at all.
Shopkeeper Tang is not a hairy boy who has just debuted, although he feels that the other party has seen through his tricks, but he still pointed at those guys without blushing and said, "Then all five of you come up." ”
Zhang Banxian, who had just squeezed in from the crowd to meet Xu Yang, was a chuckle in his heart.
Damn, this Tang shopkeeper is too shameless.
Others may not recognize it all, but he, who is messing around on the cross streets every day, will not be able to recognize the true faces of these guys.
Although the five guys selected by the shopkeeper Tang are not buddies of Yuelai Restaurant, they are all inextricably related to Yuelai Restaurant.
The son of the Li butcher's family in the west of the city has to carry a large fan of pork to Yuelai Restaurant every morning.
Zhao Xiaosi, a guy in the grocery store in the south of the city, always has to carry goods to Yuelai Restaurant for two days a month.
The guy who looks white and chubby and looks like a Maitreya Buddha is the willow shopkeeper of Luo's rice line.
This old guy has the same big owner as the shopkeeper Tang, but I didn't expect him to go out as a nurse himself.
The other two, who looked honest, were farmers from Majiazhuang outside the city.
However, the two of them have to pick a load of radish greens and send them to the back kitchen of Yuelai Restaurant every once in a while.
Zhang Banxian tugged at the corner of Xu Yang's clothes, and was about to open his mouth to remind the other party.
At this time, someone outside the crowd suddenly shouted, "Brother Xu, you have to leave me a judge's position." ”
Waiting for people to squeeze in and take a look, isn't this Jiang Wangcai's delicious guy?
As soon as this guy heard that Xu Yang was competing with the people in Yuelai Restaurant here, he also hurriedly ran over to join in the fun.
As the old saying goes, it's better to come early than to come soon.
His people were still dozens of steps away from this large group of people, so they heard Xu Yang shouting there to recruit judges.
How could he miss this opportunity?
However, after Jiang Wangcai joined, the number of judges suddenly became six, so Xu Yang casually pulled in Xie Zhutou, who was on duty next to him, and made up an odd number.
Although Shopkeeper Tang knew that these two guys had a lot of relationship with Xu Yang, he had already selected five traitors as judges, so naturally he couldn't refuse these two people to join.
Everything is ready, and the high-profile first Changhe County Cross Street Cooking Competition slowly kicked off.
The first to come on the stage was Chef Luo Jialiang from Yuelai Restaurant.
Luo Jialiang is the leader in the kitchen of Yuelai Restaurant, and the shopkeeper Tang sent him to the game, just to beat him to death with a stick, and he didn't intend to give Xu Yang a chance to turn the tables at all.
Since the ingredients and kitchen utensils for the competition had to be brought by themselves, and Yuelai Restaurant was on the side, they took advantage of the convenience of the location and moved out all the things they needed early in the morning.
At this time, a long desk was placed in the open space of the street, and the board and sharpened kitchen knife were already placed on it.
Luo Jialiang, who is over forty years old, is dressed up quite energetically today.
He opened a food box placed next to him, took out a cucumber from it, and showed it to the judges and the surrounding crowd of onlookers, before placing the cucumber on the board.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a black cloth from his bosom and put it over his eyes.
The crowd around them gasped.
Good guy, what does this Luo Jialiang want to do? Cutting cucumbers blindfolded?
Sure enough, as everyone expected, he saw Luo Jialiang, who was blindfolded, picked up the sharp kitchen knife and began to perform his knife performance.
I saw that his wrist was slightly raised, the tip of the knife was downward, and he quickly cut diagonally towards the cucumber placed on the board.
The hand is retreating, the knife is walking!
This knife after another, the angle of the knife is similar, and the force is the same.
Soon, the cucumber was cut to the end.
Then Luo Jialiang swung the cucumber backwards and continued to cut it diagonally.
"Snatch ......"
The sound of the tip of the knife cutting on the board was like the rhythmic beat of a drum on the battlefield, and the sound struck the hearts of the surrounding spectators.
The moment Luo Jialiang's kitchen knife stopped, there was a feeling of unstoppability in the hearts of the surrounding crowd.
Damn, it's really evil, how can you still hear the smell of lingering sounds when you listen to people chopping vegetables?
Put down the kitchen knife and untie the black cloth, Luo Jialiang, who was middle-aged but still quite handsome, picked up the cut cucumber from the board, pinched the two ends with both hands, and gently pulled them to both sides.
I saw that this cucumber, which was originally ordinary, was like a long green dragon in the shape of a grid, and was pulled by Luo Jialiang to grow old.
Looking at this cucumber, which was evenly cut and staggered, but never broken, the crowd around suddenly let out an uproar of exclamation.
