Chapter 162 Food Exchange Competition ([-])
The middle-aged uncle smiled mysteriously, and said, "Gossip, I heard that in this year's finals, an employee of Wison Company will invite the chef to cook in person, so he probably won today's competition."

As soon as the middle-aged uncle said this, the people around him started talking.

"Which employee is so hung up?"

"Which chef please?"

"Chef, please, there won't be an official decision for this food exchange competition, will it?"

The middle-aged uncle shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific staff and chef. I also heard from my nephew about this matter, but according to him, this chef is very famous, so there is no suspense in this competition. He will win the first prize." Awarded."

"This is an exchange competition, how could it be possible to invite a professional chef as a partner. If he really loses, then the chef probably won't be able to survive in the catering industry in the future."

The middle-aged uncle smiled and said, "Who knows, it might be for money to do things. Which of these participating employees doesn't want to win the first prize. Anyway, there is no rule saying that the partner cannot choose a professional chef."

"Then this competition is not fair. If the partner is really good, even if I am weak, I will definitely win. Then what is there to watch in this competition?" A crowd of onlookers said sharply.

The middle-aged uncle said, "There is no absolute fairness in the first place, but it is a food exchange competition, not an international competition. Since others can invite a chef, but you can't, it means that you are not capable enough. So in my opinion , The boss of Wison Company played this move very well. This competition not only examines the culinary skills of the employees, but also examines the employees' personal connections and eloquence, including the vision of picking partners."

"Yo, yes! What you said is really reasonable. No wonder the employees are asked to hire foreign aid partners in the finals. It turns out that this is the reason. It is a comprehensive evaluation of the ability of the employees." A crowd of onlookers suddenly realized.

The onlookers continued to talk about it, and they had a heated discussion about various matters in this food exchange competition.

On the other hand, time is passing by every minute.

The other nine employees who entered the final and their selected partners have already been waiting in the competition area.

The partners selected by the employees who entered the finals this time are basically professional chefs. They are all dressed in neat chef uniforms and chef hats. They are very imposing, and they look like experienced chefs.

Only Lan Weihao was alone, his partner Bai Xiaobai hadn't returned yet.

Lan Weihao had left a business card for Bai Xiaobai, but he didn't know Bai Xiaobai's mobile phone number.

Bai Xiaobai couldn't be contacted for a while, Lan Weihao was like an ant on a hot pot at the moment.

There is not much time left for the official competition.

Boss Bai hasn't shown up yet. Could it be that he got cold feet, ran away halfway, and quit the game, right?
In fact, Lan Weihao is most worried about this. If Bai Xiaobai really retires, his last result today is a certainty.

……

It is exactly 48:[-] in the imperial capital.

Guo Zhaohui's motorcycle was parked firmly at a corner of Honghui Plaza.

Originally, motorcycles were not allowed to enter the square, but Guo Zhaohui tried his best to make Bai Xiaobai walk less, and risked being confiscated, so he drove his car to a corner near the center of the square.

"Finally caught up." Bai Xiaobai glanced at his watch, it was not yet seven o'clock, so there was plenty of time
If it weren't for Guo Zhaohui, the time would never have moved so much earlier.

Bai Xiaobai took out his wallet and said sincerely, "It's really thanks to you that we were able to go so early, how much is the fare?"

"Boss Bai, how polite are you? You can give me ten yuan, anyway, I happen to be going to watch the game, so I'll drop by." Guo Zhaohui grinned, very simple.

"After watching the race later, will you go back to Chaotianmen Street? If you're on the way, I'd like to go back on your motorcycle." Bai Xiaobai planned to go back by motorcycle after the race, after all, it's very cool to do motorcycles at night.

Guo Zhaohui was naturally happy to make more money, and said:

"Okay, Boss Bai, then I'll wait for you. Anyway, I live near Chaotianmen Street and I'm on the way. My surname is Guo, and I'm probably a little older than you. You can call me Lao Guo in the future. My mobile phone number is 1XXXXXXXXXX. If you need a motorcycle, go directly Call me on my cell phone, and I will be there on call without any accidents."

"I have saved your number before." Bai Xiaobai's memory is excellent, Guo Zhaohui had saved his number before, and said that he would need a motorcycle for future trips, so he could call him.

"I can't remember." Guo Zhaohui scratched the back of his head and laughed.

"Old Guo, I'll call your number again, and you can also save my number, so I can contact you after the game." Bai Xiaobai said, and dialed Guo Zhaohui's number.

After Guo Zhaohui saved the number and confirmed that it was correct, Bai Xiaobai carried a portable refrigerator and began to rush into the crowd.

At the same time, the beautiful host on the stage began to mobilize the atmosphere again.

"Dear friends, the official competition is less than 10 minutes away, and all the contestants in our competition zone have already..."

Before the word "in place" was uttered, the beautiful host suddenly realized that the number of people was wrong. There were two people in each group, and there were ten groups in total. There should be twenty people.

Now she glanced at the competition area, and there were only 19 people.

The judges at the judges' seats had already taken their seats one after another, and Peng Ruhai also noticed this problem. He frowned slightly when he saw that Lan Weihao's partner hadn't arrived yet.

"Lan Weihao probably made a wrong choice this year, his partner named Bai Xiaobai, why hasn't he come yet. '

Peng Ruhai had already known in advance from the list of finalists that Lan Weihao's partner this time was named Bai Xiaobai, who was the owner of a small restaurant.

Because the mobile stoves for the food exchange competition have already been assigned by name in advance.

Bai Xiaobai was assigned to stove No. 6, which is now empty, without even a single person.

The rest of the judges also discovered this situation one after another, whispering and discussing.

"Who is Bai Xiaobai at stove No. 6? This spectrum is too big, and we still need to wait for him?" A chief chef of Haochuang Hotel looked unhappy.

"It's not up yet, it's still a few minutes away, and I'm not late, so let's wait." Another chef from Haochuang Hotel expressed his understanding, after all, the time was indeed not up.

"Prepare the ingredients for cooking 10 minutes in advance. That is the minimum professionalism of a chef. I have read Bai Xiaobai's information. He is still the owner of a restaurant. He doesn't even understand this basic common sense. I don't think he is good at cooking. It's not good." The head chef is a master with a temper, and continued to speak with a black face.

The remaining few judges also whispered, some expressed understanding, and some expressed that this behavior was too much.

In short, the food exchange competition has not yet officially started, and Bai Xiaobai of stove No. 6 has become the focus of all the judges.

Lan Weihao was holding the phone in his hand, not knowing what to do.

Just then his cell phone rang.

"Hey, brother wolf, I was stopped by the security guard at the cordon. He said that Wison's participating employees need to register before they can enter." A familiar voice rang through the handset of the phone.

Lan Weihao finally let go of his hanging heart, "Brother Xiaobai, where are you, I will come out to pick you up now."

Bai Xiaobai reported his location, and after Lan Weihao hung up the phone, he rushed over immediately.

In fact, as early as 2 minutes ago, Bai Xiaobai had already arrived at the edge of the warning line, but the security personnel insisted on stopping him, desperately trying not to let him in, saying that he needed his partner Wison staff to register in person before he could enter the competition area.

Bai Xiaobai had no choice but to call Lan Weihao.

"Brother Xiaobai, you are finally here. I was worried that you ran away halfway." Lan Weihao said excitedly after seeing Bai Xiaobai.

"I ran into something on the road just now, so I'm late."

"It's not too late, it hasn't officially started anyway, so bring your ingredients." Lan Weihao looked at Bai Xiaobai's portable refrigerator and continued to ask.

"It's all ready, no problem." Bai Xiaobai said confidently.

"Then let's go in together, the competition will start immediately." Lan Weihao said while leading the way.

Bai Xiaobai followed Lan Weihao to the competition zone.

At this time, there are only 5 minutes left before the official start of the food exchange competition.

The other contestants have already cleaned the ingredients, and they are just waiting for the time to show off their skills.

But Bai Xiaobai didn't do any preparations.
