Eternal Food Paradise.

Chapter 180 Unparalleled

Xia Yan and Liu Maoxing parted ways at the city gate of Guangzhou, he went back to the snack street where the 'Yangquan Restaurant' was located, but Xia Yan didn't return to any hotel, but directly turned back to the private residence of the chief elder of the local kitchen association.

As for the reason for moving into the residence, speaking of it, it was still related to Yan Xian's recommendation letter.

Of course, Yan Xian definitely did not use his own name to "recommend" Xia Yan.

Because it was a sealed letter, Xia Yan didn't take a closer look at which region and which bigwig's name he borrowed. In short, it must be a great honor for the head of the Guangzhou Kitchen Association to treat him so courteously. identity.

During these few days of staying here, Xia Yan was still nervous at first, afraid of being cheated, but the elder came to the door the day before yesterday and said that the inspection had been completed and he could participate in this year's "Chef Imperial Examination".

Xia Yan couldn't help admiring the heroes of Liang Shanbo's dark cooking world headed by Yan Xian's group of "Five Tiger Stars", they really have hands and eyes!

He had just returned home from the meeting place on the outskirts of the city.

Not long after, the owner of the mansion knocked on the door and came in.

This is an old man with white beard and hair, and he has a granddaughter named Qiulan.

Actually.

A while ago, Liu Maoxing was in this mansion, causing quite a commotion.

He cured Qiu Lan's anorexia with the "Offal Porridge" recipe.

Later, he used "Phoenix Crystal" to make the owner of this mansion speechless.

"This year's exam questions are 'noodles' and 'Guoshi Wushuang'." The old man said as soon as he entered the door, "the best refined flour is in the mansion, which is an indispensable dish with the theme of 'noodles' Basic materials, other than that, you can tell me what you need, and I will send people out to buy it.”

The first round of exams is indeed a self-contained dry food mode, including ingredients and kitchen utensils.

The second round was different. It was in a closed arena. After the search, you could take nothing with you, and you had to take the test clean.

Already accustomed to the courtesy received from a letter of recommendation, Xia Yan did not decline the kindness of the boss of the kitchen association, but calmly made a list of ingredients and handed it over:

"That's all the above."

The head chef of the Culinary Association surnamed Guan, the chief executive, is at least one of the most respected and pampered bosses in the culinary world.

"You have a belly draft so soon?" Elder Guan couldn't help being surprised.

How long has it been!

It took less than half an hour to come back from the suburbs!

Moreover, this is a bedroom, not a kitchen. After coming back, this young man has not touched the kitchen counter and is not exposed to the sun. Just relying on imagination and deduction on the road, has he roughly determined the framework of the recipe?

Seeing that Xia Yan was not dragging his feet, he tapped his chin lightly, with a flat expression on his face.

Elder Guan held the list of ingredients, held back for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence:

"More, be more cautious. After all, it is a four-yearly imperial examination in the food industry. If you pass it, it is equivalent to a carp jumping over the dragon's gate. You probably know what the title of [Special Grade] means to a chef, right? It is not an exaggeration to be a non-commissioned officer in the food industry."

After hearing this, Xia Yan nodded again.

This time, though, the nod was more pronounced.

When Elder Guan saw this, he was very relieved, he was afraid that the young man would be arrogant and would not listen to the old man's advice.

When he saw Xia Yan taking the list back, he was very cautious. After thinking hard for a while, he added a few lines of materials and wrote ten copies of each item.

"This one……"

Seeing the weight of Xia Yan's special notes on the list, Elder Guan was shocked again, and more, he was at a loss and did not understand.

Even if he doesn't mention it.

When servants from the government go shopping, they will also move back a large number of "visited guests" who are enough to live temporarily to practice spending a long time.

At this time, Elder Guan heard the young man put down his pen and said to himself:
"I originally planned to prepare only one copy, and bring it directly to the examination venue in a few days."

"Alright, take a few more materials to practice your hands, and then improve your proficiency. It won't hurt you to sweat a little more before the test..."

So Elder Guan didn't know what to say, and the words of encouragement that he planned to raise were aborted.

Holding the revised list, he exited the quiet house with a strange expression on his face.

In the back house of Guanfu.

Watching the steward of the mansion take the list away, Elder Guan sighed for a while:
"The times, have they really changed?"

"Young people nowadays, I don't understand!"

In the gazebo in the yard, Guan Qiulan was feeding the carp in the pond, when she heard her grandfather sigh on the other side, she was extremely surprised.

There is an examinee in the mansion who is very much taken care of by his grandfather.

In the past few days, Guan Qiulan also had occasional encounters with him.

Guan Qiulan was not convinced by her grandfather's private assertion that this candidate who was entrusted by the old man and came from afar would definitely shine in this year's special exam. Regional elites also gathered here.

Think of the 'witch' Zhilin.

Han Wu of Dongjiang Restaurant.

Shan Xiong, the sous chef of Panlin Restaurant.

And Lan Feihong, who is famous as a genius!
This one name.

Guan Qiulan secretly thought:
"I'm afraid that the culinary skills are very close to the [Wushuang] in the 'Guoshi Wushuang' exam questions, so I can stand out among this group of people!"

In separate courtyards and rooms.

Xia Yan was communicating with the system, and asked seriously:
"If I take and pass both the light and dark culinary rating exams, can I receive two rewards, huh?"

"You can choose two from the task reward list, and you cannot receive them repeatedly!"

After getting a clear answer, Xia Yan wiped away the saliva that did not exist at the corner of his mouth.

Damn, this vote.

Done!Do it big!

……

a few days later.

In the early morning, on the outskirts of Guangzhouzhou.

At the city gate of the venue, a thick city gate "rumbled" slowly opened, and the examinees who went to the meeting all carried their burdens and kitchen utensils, and some even brought their own special pots, the black iron pots like this behind your back.

Xia Yan and Liu Maoxing lined up side by side, flowing in with the candidates.

Not long after, the huge venue was already in full swing. There were more than [-] kitchen counters and stoves, or there was the sound of "sizzling" boiling oil, or some candidates held a rolling pin, held their breath, and their foreheads swelled. Khan, making the dough seriously.

"clang!"

Sudden.

A burst of golden gongs resounded.

The official who announced the exam questions a few days ago appeared again with a row of guards:
"The exam time is based on the pillar on the platform!"

"Wait until noon, when the sun is in the sky and the shadow of the pillar is the shortest, that's when the exam is over and grading begins!"

As he spoke, the official raised a palm and stretched out his five fingers.

"For this special assessment, this first round of elimination and screening, only 5 passers will be selected!"

"You guys do it yourself!"

Amidst the humming of the candidates, the official who was the chief examiner of the first round just finished speaking and planned to sit on the top chair and wait for the exam time to pass.

A loud and confident voice spread throughout the venue:

"Master Examiner, come here—"

"I finished--"
