Chapter 159 Food Exchange Competition ([-])
After learning more about the details of the competition from Lan Weihao just now, Bai Xiaobai's food for this competition has basically been locked.

Because it is summer now, and the competition is held at night, Bai Xiaobai decided to make 'porridge' instead of complicated snacks or stew.

Bai Xiaobai checked the general list of C-level food in his mind, and finally chose the porridge food that he was most satisfied with.

"System, I have decided. For this competition, I will make special lotus leaf lean meat porridge." Bai Xiaobai communicated with the system with his thoughts.

Soon, a cool electronic sound sounded.

[The special lotus leaf lean meat porridge will be upgraded within five hours before the game, so stay tuned for the host. 】

The meaning of the system is very clear. The special lotus leaf lean meat porridge is not upgraded now, but can only be upgraded before the game.I don't know why!

Bai Xiaobai originally planned to practice the new product in advance.

Now it seems that his idea is going to fail.

But it doesn't matter to Bai Xiaobai, anyway, he can show his skills on the day of the competition.

……

the same moment.

Office of the Chairman of Wison Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.

Peng Ruhai sat on a swivel chair and smoked a cigar. He casually asked the little secretary wearing an office worker suit beside him, "Xiao Jin, this time the food exchange competition is almost ready."

The female secretary nodded and reported:
"Mr. Peng, according to your request, the preparations for the food exchange competition have been completed. This Sunday morning, a stage will be set up in Honghui Plaza, the judges' table and the competition venue. The specific work has also been contacted with Haochuang Hotel , they will provide corresponding mobile stoves, as well as lighting equipment."

"That's good." Peng Ruhai exhaled a puff of smoke ring, and continued, "The list of finalists for this year's food exchange competition has been sorted out, let me have a look."

"Mr. Peng, the list is finished. I'll get it for you now." After the female secretary finished speaking respectfully, she walked out of the chairman's office.

One minute later, the female secretary returned to the office. She held a folder in both hands and handed it to Peng Ruhai.

"Mr. Peng, this is the final list of the food exchange competition. Among the ten company employees who entered the finals, nine of them have already selected their partners for the finals. Now the only thing left is Assistant Lan. I asked Assistant Lan this morning, and he said A partner will be decided in two days."

After listening to the secretary's report, Peng Ruhai flipped the information list to Lan Weihao's page. He squinted his eyes slightly, continued to smoke his cigar, and said, "Lan Weihao's work ability is not bad, but he participated in two food exchange competitions." , did not enter the top three, I hope he can have a good partner this time."

In fact, Lan Weihao's cooking skills are considered to be at the upper-middle level in the company, but in the previous two food exchange competitions, he did not choose the right candidates.

The two partners were seriously hindered. In the food exchange competition last year, Lan Weihao chose a nurse who was a nurse in the hospital.

In fact, Lan Weihao's personal score had already entered the top three.As long as the little nurse doesn't make major mistakes, it's safe to get a third grade.

However, the guaranteed prize finally broke. The little nurse may have been too nervous and confused the sugar with the salt. As a result, the tomato scrambled eggs were not satisfactory.

Due to his partner's mistake, Lan Weihao unfortunately ranked fourth by one point and missed the third prize.

At that time, everyone felt sorry for Lan Weihao.Peng Ruhai was also deeply impressed by this incident, because up until now, he still had a shadow in his heart about the little nurse's tomato scrambled eggs.

The salty taste simply makes the mouth suffer.

Peng Ruhai collected his thoughts, closed the folder, and continued to ask the female secretary, "Besides me, the remaining nine judges have also been notified. Are they sure they will all attend the food exchange competition?"

The female secretary nodded and smiled and said, "Mr. Peng, the notification has been in place. Mr. Chen of the Haochuang Hotel, as well as the six head chefs of his hotel, Section Chief Wang of the Jianghai Taxation Bureau, and Ms. Lin all wrote back. I am sure that I will attend and serve as the judge of this food exchange competition."

"Well, you did a good job. I don't have anything to do here. You go down and make me a cup of Blue Mountain coffee." Peng Ruhai dropped the folder and ordered.

"Okay, Mr. Peng." The female secretary agreed, closed the door gently, and went down to make coffee.

Peng Ruhai leaned on the swivel chair, closed his eyes and meditated, thinking in his heart.

I hope that this year's food exchange competition will be a little new, otherwise it will be too boring to look at those few dishes every year.

……

In the next few days, Bai Xiaobai was not too busy preparing for the competition.

His life is as peaceful as ever, and Xiaobai's restaurant is open as usual. In his spare time, Bai Xiaobai continues to practice letter carving seriously.

Compared to Bai Xiaobai's calm demeanor, Lan Weihao was much more nervous.

In the past few days, when he returned to the dormitory after get off work every day, he had to repeatedly practice fried shredded pork with green peppers.

Keep groping for practice one after another.

When it was hot, Lan Weihao didn't forget to ask Bai Xiaobai privately how to make green pepper shredded pork more delicious when he patronized Xiaobai's restaurant these days.

Bai Xiaobai expressed some unique insights on this.

Lan Weihao certified listening to Bai Xiaobai's explanations, and he benefited a lot every time. After listening to the lectures, he did not forget to take out a small notebook to record carefully.

Time passed by like this.

It was noon on the day of the food exchange competition.

Lan Weihao had lunch at Xiaobai Restaurant as usual.

After lunch, he didn't leave the store as usual, but chose to stay.

At this time, the store was empty and there were no customers.

The sun was shining brightly outside the store, the heat was unbearable, and the concrete road was about to be melted by the sun.Going to the street at this time, nine out of ten will be dehydrated and the adult will dry up.

Lan Weihao suggested, "Brother Xiaobai, let me take a nap at the dining table in your store at noon, and let's go to Dongmen Market to buy ingredients at 03:30 in the afternoon."

"Okay, you can find a table and hang out casually." Bai Xiaobai replied bluntly.

In fact, the purpose of going to Dongmen Market is to help Lan Weihao choose the ingredients for shredded pork with green peppers.

The ingredients for Bai Xiaobai's competition will be specially provided by the system, and there is no need to purchase them separately.

After getting Bai Xiaobai's approval, Lan Weihao half lifted his shirt, and took a nap on the dining table in the farthest corner.

After Bai Xiaobai cleaned up the store, he didn't go upstairs to take a nap.

He half-pulls down the rolling shutter door, following Lan Weihao's example, he also chooses a dining table to nap on his stomach.

Bai Xiaobai kept all his money in the bank, and there was nothing valuable in the store or on the second floor, so he was not afraid of theft at all.

In addition, there are surveillance cameras and Xiao Hei watching at the door all the time.

You don't need to see that Xiao Hei is chubby and cute, but he is actually very vigilant.Ordinary thieves would not dare to have bad intentions for Xiaobai Restaurant.Because Xiao Hei's bite can make these bad people with evil intentions completely doubt their lives.

Just when Bai Xiaobai and Lan Weihao were falling asleep.

A thunderstorm swept through Jianghai City, temporarily relieving the hot weather.

After the torrential rain stopped completely, it was already 03:30 in the afternoon.

After Bai Xiaobai woke up, he posted a pre-prepared closure notice at the door.

Lan Weihao used Didi software to call a taxi.

Then, the two got into a taxi and went straight to Dongmen Market.

Dongmen Market is located in the east of Jianghai City, and is one of the four major food trading markets in Jianghai.

There is a complete range of goods here, including fresh and dry goods from the north and south of the mainland, mountain and seafood, and seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Because the ingredients in this market are extraordinarily fresh and the prices are affordable, it is crowded with people on weekends, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are sweating profusely.

There are many people who come to buy ingredients, and even many restaurant owners in Jianghai City don't think it's a long way, so they drive here to buy ingredients.

Before Bai Xiaobai didn't have a food system, he often came here to buy ingredients, so he is very familiar with Dongmen Market.
