Chapter 160 Food Exchange Competition ([-])
Before Bai Xiaobai didn't have a food system, he often came here to buy ingredients, so he is very familiar with Dongmen Market.

The taxi drove smoothly and arrived at Dongmen Market 15 minutes later.

Lan Weihao's competition is shredded pork with green peppers. The two main ingredients that need to be used are green peppers and lean pork.

After getting off the taxi, Bai Xiaobai and Lan Weihao went straight to the vegetable and fruit section to buy green peppers.

All kinds of yelling in the vegetable and fruit area can be heard endlessly.

Almost every stall sells green peppers.

When buying ingredients, it is important to shop around. Some local bosses in Jianghai City will raise prices at will to deceive people because they see that you do not understand Jianghai dialect.

Bai Xiaobai has opened a restaurant for two or three years, bought countless ingredients, and has grown into a proficient adult.He can basically guess the prices of seasonal vegetables.

However, Bai Xiaobai has a very straightforward personality. He never haggles when buying vegetables. He always trades when he thinks the price is right. If it is unreasonable or too expensive, he turns around and leaves.

Bai Xiaobai and Lan Weihao wandered among the fruit and vegetable stalls.

Seeing that every stall is full of green peppers, many people will not know where to start.

Lan Weihao was no exception. He was dazzled by the sight, then turned to Bai Xiaobai and said, "Brother Xiaobai, just look at the green peppers and buy them for me. I really don't know how to pick and choose. Grab it."

Lan Weihao is very good at recruiting pharmaceuticals, and his cooking skills are also good, but he really doesn't have a good eye for picking ingredients. When he buys vegetables, he grabs random ones, as long as they don't rot.

"Then I'll just watch and choose for you." After Bai Xiaobai finished speaking, he came to a stall and looked at the color of the green peppers. It was indeed good, and the price was very reasonable after asking.

"Just this one!" Bai Xiaobai turned to ask Lan Weihao for his opinion.

"Okay, then help me choose." Lan Weihao said, taking the initiative to open a plastic bag.

In fact, picking green peppers is very simple.

The first is the texture of the green pepper. If the surface is hard and plump, it is fresher. If the surface is weak, it means that it is not fresh after a long time.

Secondly, there should be no cracks and black spots on the surface.Because the green pepper is brittle, if there are cracks and black spots on the surface, it is very easy to rot, and the nutrients are also easy to be decomposed.

Bai Xiaobai picked out a small bag of green peppers with sharp eyes and quick hands.

When weighing the scales, the vegetable seller couldn't help joking, "Hey, young man, you have a good eye. These are all fresh products I just added, and I picked them all out for you."

Bai Xiaobai replied calmly, "Ma'am, your green peppers are quite fresh, I didn't pick them, I just took them casually."

Seeing that Bai Xiaobai looks energetic and has such a sweet mouth, the vegetable seller even praised her fresh vegetables, and her heart was sweeter than honey.

Ever since, when the check was done on the scale, the aunt just wiped off the few cents.

After Lan Weihao paid, the two of them continued to buy lean pork.

The weather is hot, and the pork in the afternoon is basically not too fresh. Bai Xiaobai, who is strict in requirements, went around the pork section of Dongmen Market, but he couldn't choose anything he was satisfied with.

I went to Yonghui Supermarket again, and it turned out that all the pork was refrigerated at low temperature for a whole day.

Still not fresh enough!

After choosing and choosing, Bai Xiaobai finally picked out a good piece of lean meat at a pork shop at the corner of Dongmen Market.

After choosing lean meat, Bai Xiaobai helped Lan Weihao choose some other auxiliary ingredients.

During this period, Bai Xiaobai took care of everything, and Lan Weihao carried bags in addition to his wallet.

After assisting Lan Weihao to buy the ingredients, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

It was only two hours before the official start of the food exchange competition.

"Brother Xiaobai, let's eat outside. I'll treat you." Lan Weihao was very generous.

After all, it was all thanks to Bai Xiaobai that he could buy all the ingredients he needed at once.

Feeling at ease while doing business and eating, Bai Xiaobai accepted Lan Weihao's treat frankly.

The two had a casual meal at a small restaurant in Dongmen Market.

After eating and drinking, it was almost 05:30.

Bai Xiaobai said to Lan Weihao, "You go to the competition site first, I'm going back to the restaurant to get the ingredients I prepared! Let's gather at Honghui Plaza in a while."

"Okay, then you should be careful on your way. The game time is seven o'clock. Don't be late. Call me if you need anything." Lan Weihao reminded.

"Understood, then I'll go first." After Bai Xiaobai finished speaking, he stopped a taxi by the side of the road and got in.

The two parted ways.

Lan Weihao took the prepared ingredients and took a taxi directly to Honghui Plaza.

On the other side, Bai Xiaobai drove back to Chaotianmen Street alone.

As soon as the taxi arrived at the street in front of Xiaobai's restaurant, the cool electronic voice in Bai Xiaobai's mind rang.

[C level difficulty gourmet special lotus leaf lean meat porridge has been upgraded.The required ingredients, tableware, and seasonings are all ready in the portable refrigerator on the kitchen countertop.The host can take part in the competition. 】

This new product has been upgraded since this morning. After nearly [-] hours of upgrading, the upgrade is finally complete at this moment.

"Master, wait here for a while, I'll come out after I go back to the store to get something." Bai Xiaobai greeted the taxi driver beside him.

"Okay, then hurry up." The driver loosened his seat belt and said.

Bai Xiaobai got out of the car, opened the shutter door in the store, and hurried back to the glass kitchen.

Sure enough, there was a sky blue portable refrigerator on the countertop of the kitchen cabinet.

Bai Xiaobai opened it and took a look.

This time, the system is really conscientious, and everything needed for cooking food has been completely packed and organized.

Do a quick inventory and everything you need is there.

Only then did Bai Xiaobai carry the portable refrigerator, close the shutter in the store, and get back into the taxi.

"Master, go to Honghui Plaza." Bai Xiaobai reported the destination after getting into the car.

The taxi driver put on his seat belt again, started the car, and drove directly to Honghui Plaza.

Honghui Grand Plaza is located in the north of Jianghai City, nearly half an hour's drive from Chaotianmen Street.

It stands to reason that it's only a quarter past six, which is completely in time.

But the taxi drove to the back, the speed was getting slower and slower, and it was blocked several times along the way.

Bai Xiaobai felt that something was wrong, and after asking the taxi driver, he got an explosive message.

The main roads around Honghui Plaza on Sunday are full of heavy traffic jams, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get there in less than an hour.

After hearing this message, Bai Xiaobai almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

More than an hour, then the food exchange competition will definitely be late.

Bai Xiaobai paid the fare on the way, got off the taxi, and planned to change transportation.

Bai Xiaobai of Honghui Grand Plaza probably knows the direction, but he has never been there, and he doesn’t know if the subway line [-] can get there.

Opening Baidu Maps, Bai Xiaobai looked it up, and found that even if he took Metro Line [-], he could only get to the vicinity of Honghui Plaza, and he had to walk a long way during this period.

It's really rainy and leaky!

No matter, let's do the subway first.

Bai Xiaobai didn't have time to think, and carrying the heavy portable refrigerator, he trotted all the way to the nearest subway entrance station.

Having just arrived at the subway entrance, Bai Xiaobai couldn't help but stop, panting heavily.

Damn, if you run like this, even if you make it there, you'll be too tired!At that time, where will I still have the strength to cook food?

Bai Xiaobai was panting heavily, faintly worried that his physical strength was not enough.

At this moment, there was a sound of a motorcycle behind him, a somewhat familiar magnetic middle-aged voice, and then shouted:

"Boss Bai, in such a hurry, where are you going?"
