Cooking
Chapter 17
The questioning tone became more and more harsh, and Zhong Cheng had no choice but to stop her.
The host hurriedly motioned to Mr. Lu, who was in charge, to speak, and interrupted awkwardly to say a few words, but Mr. Lu didn't move his chopsticks at all, and said coldly to the chef, "Nowadays, we all pay attention to healthy eating. We don't like your dish." Don't worry."
The chef, who was still full of color just now, walked away like a balloon that was suddenly punctured, and no one ate that luxurious-looking dish at all.
Bu Langni said to Li Xiangrong, "Look, food safety is the top priority now, and chefs need to be smart, thinking that making something unusual is called being creative."
Li Xiangrong suddenly laughed softly, "I remember watching the movie Man Han Quan Xi, and the final confrontation was something like a bear's paw, an elephant's nose, a monkey's brain or something."
Buroni raised his hand and patted his head lightly, "Who is so blind to bring protected animals here? It's embarrassing in front of foreign friends."
Li Xiangrong sneered and said, "You foreign friend can eat all the good things in China."
Buroni quickly declared, "I have never eaten protected animals!"
Li Xiangrong said in a tone of being too lazy to talk to you, "How dare you eat less shark's fin and bird's nest?"
This was the truth, and Buroni couldn't refute it, so he could only continue to look at the big screen sullenly.
American friend Polk is asking about a "Dragon Boat Carrying Treasures". The whole dragon boat carved from winter melon is filled with dishes made of abalone, shark's fin, fish skirt, Hericium erinaceus, scallops, ham, pork, and chicken. The wax gourd that has been boiled in water is translucent, and the materials inside look really colorful like pearls and treasures.
Polk asked, "Have you calculated the total calories and protein, fat, and fiber content of these ingredients?"
The chef replied fluently in English, "This dish has a variety of varieties, rich in nutrients, soft, glutinous and crispy in texture, and fresh and delicious in taste."
Polk frowned, grinned at Dai Yun, the God of Cookery who hadn't spoken yet, and asked again patiently, "I mean, your dish is a little too greasy?"
The chef looked at him in surprise, "You haven't tasted it yet, it's definitely delicious!"
Polk smiled helplessly while shaking his head, and Dai Yun said to him in Hong Kong-style Mandarin, "Do as the Romans do, this dish looks very pretty!"
Polk scooped up a slice of Hericium erinaceus critically and chewed it, then nodded and said nothing.
Li Xiangrong bumped into Lonny again, "Why do you want the food judges to find an American? They should find you French, right?"
Buroni said unhappily, "The French and Chinese are the only ones that are delicious, right? Because there are more farmers in these two countries."
Li Xiangrong touched his nose, wanting to say that I didn't mean it that way, and it seemed unnecessary. He saw Bai Yuanyuan's fingers tightly gripping the armrest of the chair, and asked worriedly, "Sister Bai, are you feeling well?"
Bai Yuanyuan shook her head lightly, her eyes only looking forward, "It's time to reach the mountain."

The knowledge about Xi Shi Tongue comes from Baidu:
Shih Tzu tongue is a marine shellfish belonging to the phylum Mollusca, class Lamellibranchia, order Veneroida, and family Mactridae.It is widely distributed in the shoals of the Indo-Pacific Sea, and Zhanggang, Changle, Fujian is a famous place of origin, so it is also called "Zhanggang sea mussel".The individual is relatively large, and the length can reach more than 10 cm. The meat is crisp and tender, and the taste is sweet. It is a rare and precious shellfish with high economic value.It is distributed along the coast of China and is a common species.Artificial breeding has been carried out now.
ps: In fact, this thing is not too rare, but the traditional way is to fry or cook soup. The chef said that it is wild and freshly peeled, which aroused the disgust of nutritionists, because wild ones are indeed very unsafe. China Man's penchant for wild game has a bad reputation internationally.

The scoring of hot dishes is coming to an end, and the dazzling "Chicken Sauce with Ginseng and Abalone", "Beef Tongue Reflected in the Evening Glow", "Assorted Black Stone Ginseng", "Sliced Suckling Pig", "Mushroom Stewed with Shanrui", "Raw Cooked Unicorn Fish After the "Dongting Golden Turtle" scored the scores one by one, He Zhishan stood in front of the judges' seat, leaning his head slightly forward, ready to answer the judges' questions.
His work is a pot of cabbage.
In the small bowl in front of the judges, half a boxwood cabbage heart that was cut in half from the middle was floating in the clear soup. From the outer leaves to the inside, it was tender green and light yellow, stretched in shape, fresh and elegant.
After serving the delicacies of mountains and seas in full swing, this dish was surprisingly light. Even the host paused for a while when he read the name of the dish, "boiled cabbage".
The judges didn't say much, quietly picked up the spoon to drink the soup, and ate all the fresh and tender choy sum.
Li Xiangrong pushed Lonnie and urged, "Go back to your seat, the food is delivered."
Bronney glanced at his mother hesitantly. Mrs. Fanny was thanking the hostess who was sharing the dishes, and the cutlery was still on the empty table.
Li Xiangrong was anxious for him, "Hurry up, if you don't go, people won't scoop you up."
"I don't want to eat..." Buroni muttered, wanting to move.
Li Xiangrong said, "I'm afraid He Zhishan wouldn't cook this dish at Bu's house. If you don't eat it, you won't have a chance."
After hearing this, Buroni sat down firmly, and hummed softly, "If you don't eat, you don't eat."
Li Xiangrong looked around, Bai Yuanyuan seemed to be unaware of their conversation, she looked at the big screen calmly, and the camera scanned the calm faces of the judges one by one.
Picking up the napkin and pressing the corner of his mouth, Mr. Lu, a national culinary master, said with a smile, "Master He, are you from Sichuan?"
He Zhishan nodded in agreement.
Mr. Lu clapped his hands, and said in Sichuan dialect, "It's three, this dish is very suitable, and the taste is very good!"
Dai Yun looked at him in surprise, then at the host, and exchanged glances with Polk, neither of them understood the dialect very well.
Zhong Cheng also immediately sighed, "True and authentic! It smells elegant and fragrant, and eats it soft and melts into dregs. It's really good."
The two judges clearly expressed their appreciation. This is the treatment that the previous chefs did not receive. Needless to say, the scoring results got a very high score.
The chef who made the dragon boat carrying treasures was full of indignation, as if he wanted to say that just this spoonful of clear water vegetable leaves scored higher than his cornucopia-like dishes?
Polk shrewdly called his name and asked, "Do you know why your food is not as good as his?"
Seeing the camera focus on the faces of the two, Li Xiangrong exclaimed, "Hey, this is a live broadcast, did this foreigner do it on purpose?"
Bronney speculated, "It should be intentional. It's more interesting to have conflicts."
Li Xiangrong leaned his head on the back of the chair, "Allies, it's too disharmonious~"
The chef opened his mouth and didn't dare to speak nonsense. Zhong Cheng probably expressed his friendship with the two hosts, and said thoughtfully, "This boiled cabbage highlights the word 'fresh'. It is the best soup in Sichuan cuisine. It looks simple. Simple, in fact this soup, Master He, you introduce it."
He Zhishan took the microphone and said calmly, "Use one old hen and one duck each for clear soup, two and a half catties each of pork ribs, stick bones, and fresh pork lean meat, three liang of chicken breast, add stalks of green onion, ginger, and Shaoxing wine. ,Salt."
Zhong Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, I also watched carefully the steps of minced meat and clear soup just now, so it's fine if you don't explain it in detail."
The disapproving attitude towards He Zhishan's simple description aroused Dai Yun's curiosity. He tilted his head and asked, "Mr. Zhong made it clear. The method of using minced meat to cook soup is very interesting."
Zhong Cheng smiled and said intentionally, "I'll tell you when I come down. I'm greedy for the next dish right now? Is it a crab? It's golden-looking and jade-like, with two pincers and bright moon autumn river! Not bad!"
The lady of etiquette promptly delivered the simmering sweet-scented osmanthus rice wine and exquisite utensils. The crabs were cold and served with rice wine or ginger tea so as not to hurt the stomach.
"Crab meat is light on the table, and this dish should be served in the last order," Buroni made a comment, then relaxed and slumped on the chair.
"Hey," Li Xiangrong followed his example, "Uncle Zhong Cheng is very close to the Bu family, right? He obviously helps He Zhishan a lot."
Buroni said disinterestedly, "That's what it should be, he has always admired Senior Brother He."
Bai Yuanyuan, who had been very quiet all this time, turned her head to look at the two of them sideways. Two equally young faces were leaning together in the slightly dark field of vision. One face was too bright, while the other was so bland that only a pair of round eyes were still alive. He hesitated, "Zhishan is really a very down-to-earth person..."
Buroni said impatiently, "I know!" He almost never showed an expression of boredom with this sister whom he had known close to for more than ten years, and at this moment he could only suppress his irritated anger.
Li Xiangrong tilted his head to touch his head, Bulangni slammed back hard, and said weakly to Bai Yuanyuan, "Sister, don't think too much, there's nothing wrong."
The last pastries were all on the table. Bai Yuanyuan made an improved version of Soviet-style fresh meat mooncakes with added vegetable fibers. When you bite into the crispy skin, the gravy is full of juice, hot and fresh. The judges were full of surprise and nodded.
Buroni snorted softly, "Is this also a new product created by yourself?"
Bai Yuanyuan smiled and said, "I made it for Mrs. Fanny, she likes it very much."
There is almost no suspense in the final score. The temporarily added food carving items accounted for a low coefficient in the total score. The main points are hot dishes and cold dishes. The two masters in the competition area qualified for the New Year's Day finals.
The little crab master and He Zhishan changed into golden chef hats and stood on the steps and bowed to everyone. The salute was played and colorful papers were played. The audience applauded and cheered, especially the distinguished guests in the front row, Mrs. The noble ladies hugged each other and talked to the camera, Buroni stood up and stretched out of boredom, "Arong, you should make a request to Senior Brother He or something."
Li Xiangrong looked up at him, and smiled foolishly, "I just want to stay at your house and learn some real things, nothing else."
Bai Yuanyuan asked strangely, "Haven't you been studying hard?"
Li Xiangrong frowned suddenly, and said aggrievedly, "Sister Bai, can you call He... Brother, don't be so stern with me in the future? I'll be thankful."
Bai Yuanyuan chuckled, "Don't pay attention to him, Zhishan has social phobia. Back then he had a crush on me for three years and still kept a straight face to me."
Buroni nodded seriously, "Arong, just treat him as facial paralysis."
Bai Yuanyuan smiled and supported her waist and said, "Lonnie, don't let him hear it, that person is narrow-minded."
Li Xiangrong exaggeratedly exclaimed, "A narrow-minded man is not good, sister Bai, why did you choose him?"
Bai Yuanyuan looked at her ostentatious husband on the big screen, her eyebrows curved, and she said softly, "You are so small that you just pretend to be me."
Bu Langni and Li Xiangrong made a gesture of vomiting at the same time, and Bai Yuanyuan laughed and said angrily, "Let's leave the stage, let's go through the side door, and we will wait for the announcement."
The two of them divided into left and right and followed Bai Yuanyuan's side, stretched out their hands to shield her from the people she might meet in front of them, and walked slowly out of the studio. The light is like a veil within reach, covering this noisy world.
The three of them waited for Mrs. Fanny to meet in the parking lot. Mrs. Fanny said to Bai Yuanyuan worriedly, "Your face is very pale. I'll take you back to rest first."
He Bai lived in an apartment two blocks away from Bu's house, and the transportation was very convenient.
Bai Yuanyuan shook her head, pointed to a black Peugeot and said, "I'll wait in the car, Zhishan should be here soon, you guys go first."
Mrs. Fanny pressed the car door with one hand, "What kind of words are you throwing a pregnant woman here!" Her bright red evening dress shone in the moonlight, her high nose and deep eyes were very attractive, and her curly hair was flowing on her shoulders. golden awn.
Bu Langni looked at his mother's car, and suggested, "How stupid to stay here, there are a few small shops across the street, let's go to the rest meeting, and let's go together when Senior Brother He comes out."
Bai Yuanyuan hesitated, "He'll be out in a while, there's no need to bother you..."
Fanny hugged her shoulders, and gently slid her arms down her back, "You go drink some hot milk and eat something, it's cold and tired here." She flinched exaggeratedly On her own shoulder, Buroni reluctantly took off her coat and put it on her, receiving a kiss and praise from her as a "good son".
Li Xiangrong changed the paper bag containing the assistant's chef's robe into a hand, and persuaded together, "Let's go, I'm starving to death, sister treat me to dinner~"
Bai Yuanyuan could only smile and said, "I also said that I would invite you to my house for a good meal on the rest day. You are lowering your requirements."
Li Xiangrong said with a smile, "I'm satisfied now as long as I eat beef noodle with pork intestine powder."
Mrs. Fanny held Bai Yuanyuan in one hand and her son in the other, and strode forward boldly, "Then let's go, why are you still here, the food tasting just now made me hungry, Lonnie, let's go to the bar for a drink? "
Buroni immediately agreed with both hands, "I want to drink a bomber!"
Fanny glared at her son, "You are only allowed to drink the kiss of an angel, and when you are young, you can drink strong alcohol."
A few people chattered into a small bar with a good atmosphere, and sat in a relatively quiet booth on the second floor by the window. There were not many people in the shop, blues music was flowing quietly, and there was a large bottle of lilies blooming on the window sill. I leaned closer to my nose to smell the fragrance that might have the taste of my hometown.
There were several pictorials and newspapers on the table for the entertainment of the guests. Brony turned on the desk lamp and rummaged through them for a while, then threw the newspapers away in boredom.
"What's the matter?" asked Mrs. Fanny.
"Just these two lines..." Buroni pointed to a newspaper and said disappointedly, "It's fine if there's no morning paper, but the evening paper just mentioned a few words about yesterday's banquet, and they didn't pay attention at all. .”
Fanny pulled it over and took a look, "The academic awards ceremony is only a quarter of the page, and it would be nice to mention the Bu family. This is a report, not a column."
Buroni propped his chin with both hands, "Then I can only read this week's Urban Life Weekly. There should be a relatively large special report, and next month's several months..."
Fanny pushed all the newspapers aside, and said helplessly, "It's time for a break, and I don't have a workaholic son!"
The spicy pasta ordered by Li Xiangrong had just been delivered, and Buroni suddenly thought, "The seafood fried rice here is pretty good, would you like some?"
Li Xiangrong quickly waved his hands and said, "Forget the seafood, I feel a little bit when I think of that 'Xi Shi Tongue'..." He wrinkled his stomach into a bitter face.
Mrs. Fanny immediately echoed, "Yes, each of us dares to move, but it's a pity that you ran away, Lonnie. The next few dishes are delicious."
Bronney responded with little interest, "The best way is that?"
Fanny thought about it carefully, "It's boiled cabbage. It doesn't matter who made it. The dish itself is very good. It can almost be listed as the top three of the best things I've eaten this year."
Bu Lang Ni bit her lip and didn't know how to answer, Bai Yuanyuan quickly pushed the peanuts in front of her to the middle, "Lonnie, eat something before drinking, be careful not to get drunk."
Buroni picked up a few peanuts casually, looked out the window casually, and suddenly fixed his gaze.
Zhong Cheng and He Zhishan were walking along the street, obviously looking for a place to sit down.
Just as Bu Langni called out, "Sister Bai..." the phone rang.
Buroni saw He Zhishan put the phone on his ear, and Bai Yuanyuan frantically took out the phone from her bag and pressed the connect button.
The pregnant woman's mobile phone has long been set to hands-free status, and He Zhishan's voice came clearly, "Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, can you go home by yourself? I have something important to delay for a while, so I will go back later."
Fanny was about to protest, but Bruni quickly reached out to block her and swung violently, the corner of his eyes scanning the figures downstairs.
Bai Yuanyuan said unhappily, "It's too much. I used to call her Xiao Tiantian, but now I throw her on the street."
He Zhishan's voice was also a little apologetic, "It's my fault, don't be angry, Mrs. Fanny and the others are gone, or you..."
Bu Langni saw Zhong Cheng grinning, He Zhishan paused and continued to say sorry in a voice so soft that water could drip out.
In the mocking eyes of everyone, Bai Yuanyuan had no choice but to say, "Okay, I know, you should also be careful and come back early."
When Fanny was about to speak, the waiter brought her the wine she ordered. The pale green mint Fleurbee was very beautiful, but Bronnie, who received the angel's kiss, was not too satisfied.
Picking up the rim of the cup and eating the red cherries in one bite, Buroni saw He Zhishan and Zhong Cheng walk into the adjacent tavern downstairs.
Soon a car stopped on the opposite side of the street, two people got off, and an old man with a familiar face was walking in front.
Mr. Xu, an overseas Chinese who was invited by Zhong Cheng to have dinner at Bu's house half a year ago.

He Zhishan, who qualified for the finals, was no different from usual. He did what he had to do, so that people could not see the impact of this competition on him. Anyway, it was still a few months before New Year's Day, and the Bu family's New Year's Day The holidays are from Christmas to New Year's Day, and the whole family will go back to Mrs. Fanny's French natal home.
It’s just that I didn’t mention Li Xiangrong’s departure before the feast. It’s unreasonable to ask him to help you during the game, and tell him to leave after you use it. He Zhishan thanked Li Xiangrong in the store the next day, Naturally, he said something like working hard together.
Now that Lu Yong has retreated to the second line, of course there is no objection at this time. The Patriarch of the Bu family finally left the hospital two days later. His illness was originally a small cold, and he spent five days in a single ward, which is very intentional. Suspect of sabotage.
Li Xiangrong never said anything about whether to leave or stay, he worked honestly, stayed quietly, and behaved extremely well-behaved.Tao Xingming sealed Yifan Anton and the others with a peaceful attitude, and Buroni moderately expressed how much he valued him, so everyone finally felt at ease and accepted him.
The feeling of an internship is different from a formal job. The humility and timidity of an intern is not only a lack of self-confidence, but also an isolation cover supported by a blind sense of self-protection of "I'll leave if it's a big deal."Do you still not like me?Well, I don't like you either, why look at your faces?
Too many newcomers lose opportunities as soon as they step into the workplace because they can't grasp their own positioning. Showing their sharpness may be a blockbuster, but those who make steady progress believe that water will flow forever.
It is easy to stand out at the beginning, but it is difficult to get the sincere approval of those who are far more mature and experienced than yourself. Some people stumble because of their arrogance, but they only complain about the uneven road but do not reflect on why they did not use their own eyes. look at the road.
Changing habits is as difficult as changing identities. If you officially get a job that is valued in the eyes of others and in your own heart, will you feel wronged at every turn?Will it be easy to say that I quit?No way, this job gives you a clear goal, a stirring emotion, a fixed income, and a distant future, making you stronger, more confident, more enthusiastic and fulfilling. Compared with this, What does it matter if a native leader gives a cold face?Besides, he asked you for help and invited you to dinner.
Now Li Xiangrong feels very happy. Since he decided to make a career as a chef, how lucky he is to work as an apprentice in the most high-end restaurants in this city, this province, and even the southwest region, and to have a good friendship with the small boss!
In the mid-autumn season, when the flowers are perfect and the moon is full, he is full of ambition, and his heart is full of flying joy.
Tao Xingming told him that the junior chef’s qualification certificate is not enough to look at. If there is a chance, he should take the exam again. Li Xiangrong was convinced. After checking some exam procedures on the Internet, he decided to buy some reference books for self-study. The chef school will organize students to participate in the test regularly, or the chef will personally go to the relevant department to pay the registration fee and registration materials, and take the exam by himself. The theoretical knowledge of nutrition and cooking must pass the written test, and the technical test is to draw lots in the prescribed dishes. , The dishes are cooked on the spot, and the examiner tastes them to give points. It is not too difficult. After all, the qualification certificate is only a license to practice, and the quality of the craftsmanship depends on the reactions of the diners.
On this rest day, Li Xiangrong went to the Southwest Bookstore to look for books, and it happened to be a Saturday, so the store was overcrowded, and if he tried to squeeze through the shelves, he would be sweaty.On the benches, next to the bookcases, and in the aisles, there are crowds of people holding books and reading with gusto, some even gnawing bread and drinking drinks, slumped on the floor with a few books piled up in their hands, as if no one else was around. .
Li Xiangrong ran upstairs and downstairs twice, wandered around under the sign of the social folk family life test materials, but did not find where the cook grade test book was. It took a long time to find a shopping guide who was also sweaty. The child frowned and thought about it for a long time and said I'm really sorry, why don't you go to the service desk to check, there are too many people today, and it happens to be half a month since the start of school, countless elementary and middle school students carry big bags and small bags to buy reference books and exercise sets. The first floor is the auxiliary teaching area, and it is full of dark heads. The radio keeps repeating "Student XX, your parents are waiting for you at the door on the first floor, please meet quickly." "Student XX, you My friend told me to leave first, please pay attention to the text messages on your mobile phone." It was so noisy that it made people dizzy.
Li Xiangrong sighed overwhelmed, turned sideways and went down the safety ladder to the first floor. There were still some vacant seats among the rows of bookshelves marked with philosophy. He walked over and squeezed a bench to sit down, and took out a few napkins from his trouser pocket to wipe his sweat first. .
Looking at his phone, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Li Xiangrong decided to wait a little longer and ask the service desk when there were fewer people. He wanted to learn from the people around him and find a book to pass the time first.
He got up and took a few steps. The row of Descartes, Hegel, and Marx made him stare blankly. After choosing for a long time, he picked a copy of "Book of Changes", a popular edition of Chinese studies. The previous seat had been occupied by someone else, so he simply leaned on the bookshelf. Flip through the book.
"Elephant" says: Wood grows in the ground and rises.A gentleman is Shunde, and a small one is tall.
What does it mean?
Li Xiangrong scratched his hair, turned the pages to find the notes, "Trees grow from small to large, from low to high, and a gentleman should follow the laws of nature to strengthen self-cultivation and accumulate small progress..."
There was a sudden movement in his mind, like a weak electric current making a rustling sound, like a radio station that had been silent for a long time found a channel again, trying to call for his response tentatively.
—Master, he cried with a smile, feeling a stronger throbbing.
——I, are you okay...Xu Ji has never been so coy before, let Li Xiangrong realize how ashamed and ashamed he is.
——I'm fine, how are you?
- Don't you blame me?
——It's a bit strange, Li Xiangrong replied honestly, the ghost's upper body feels very bad, please don't do it again.
——No more, Xu Ji felt a little more at ease, and explained that my energy was at the end of its strength, and my upper body was almost exhausted that time, and it would disappear in smoke if I did it again.
—Aren’t you going to reincarnate?Li Xiangrong was very curious.
- when I died
My soul is incomplete, if I didn't rely on the protection of Manshuyuan, I would have disappeared completely.
——Aren’t you a Dharma protector?so weak?
——I am not a god... In fact, my whole life's belief is to let the people of the country not believe in gods, and don't believe in the divine right of kings...
Li Xiangrong felt that such a noisy environment was not suitable for deep conversations, so he hurriedly said that he would go back to talk slowly at night, and now he was going to find a book.
He closed Zhou Yi and stuffed it into the bookshelf. He was about to turn around when someone patted his shoulder.
"You?" The small young man with a big bag on his back looked at him familiarly, with thin eyebrows, narrow eyes, flat nose and thick lips, and said with an affectionate smile, "Are you also on stage for the Mid-Autumn Festival competition?"
"Oh..." Li Xiangrong blinked, "You are No.2!"
The little man clapped his hands and said with a smile, "It's me, the first one is you, Master He's?"
Li Xiangrong reported his name, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. At the same time, he felt a little sorry for not remembering the other party's name. The little man patted his chest and said, "My name is Liu Yunxian, the cloud of the cloud. I'm leisurely. I've been a chef for six years. How about you?"
Li Xiangrong said in surprise, "You look so young! I'm almost 20, and I've learned to cook for more than a year."
Liu Yunxian patted himself on the forehead and said, "I'm 23 years old. I started studying after graduating from high school. I used to work in Jincheng Hotel~"
Jincheng Hotel is the earliest five-star hotel in Rongcheng, and it still has a historical background. The catering department is also quite famous. There are many high-ranking guests and high-ranking officials. Many large companies also set up public relations activities there.
Li Xiangrong expressed surprise, "Then you now?"
Liu Yunxian replied bluntly, "I'm not happy with the job, the top is too overwhelming, I plan to venture into the rivers and lakes by myself! Recently, I have been fully preparing for the competition and practicing my skills at home. Everything will be discussed after the finals."
Li Xiangrong saw that he was wearing famous brand clothing, with silver rings on his ears and an iPod hanging around his neck. He looked carefree like someone who was worried about life, and kept saying that you should work hard.
Liu Yunxian said, "By the way, are you going to the capital? I heard that the finals can bring at most one assistant, and it's best for the contestants to do it alone. It's quite mysterious."
Li Xiangrong said with little interest, "That day, I was helping a big brother. I was still working part-time. People might not call me by then, and it might not be convenient for them to go if they called me."
Liu Yunxian said, "That's right, but you've only been learning for more than a year, so you're so good at food carving? I see that your knife skills are very good."
Li Xiangrong said, "Knife skills have been passed down from his family since he was a child, and he has not been practicing for a long time, so he can only be his assistant."
Liu Yunxian patted him vigorously on the shoulder and said, "Hey, you can sign up by yourself next year. Sometimes it's just luck. By the way, are you satisfied now? Leave your phone number for me. I'm going to open a shop next year. You."
Li Xiangrong took out his mobile phone and said that you can tell me the number first, and I will call it for you. The place where he works is okay now, and he is preparing for the exam.
Liu Yunxian said happily, "The exam is not difficult, if you put your mind to it, there is no problem. I only read the book for three days during the exam, and I got full marks in the theoretical exam."
Li Xiangrong admired it very much, and asked with an idea, "It's enough to memorize the theory test, but what about the practical operation? What must be done when the lottery is drawn? Can't it be changed?"
Liu Yunxian thought for a while and said, "If the dish drawn is your taboo, you should be able to tell the examiner to draw again, but there are only a few dozen popular dishes, there is nothing difficult, they are all basic skills."
Li Xiangrong smiled wryly, "Then you don't want to cook meat dishes, can you just cook vegetarian dishes?"
Liu Yunxian looked at him in surprise, "Only vegetarian dishes? I really don't know. I heard that some provinces seem to have special vegetarian chefs. You can ask someone."
Li Xiangrong thanked him sincerely.The two of them huddled between the bookshelves and just talked. Although there are relatively few people here, they still come and go. It is not good to block other people's way for too long.
Liu Yunxian took out his mobile phone and confirmed Li Xiangrong's number. He waved his hand and said, "I'll go upstairs to buy dishes. You can browse yours and call back."

Autumn in Rongcheng is very comfortable. The warm and cool breeze blows through the tall buildings, the bustling business district is full of people and traffic, and there is a festive atmosphere almost all the time.The sun still has half of its face hanging far away in the sky, neon lights are lit on both sides of the road, and the atmosphere of enjoyment becomes stronger as the night deepens.
The life here can best be described in one word, "easy and comfortable", this is a city that won't let you leave once you come.
Li Xiangrong was holding a heavy book bag, planning to walk back leisurely.The phone suddenly jumped a few times in his pocket, and Li Xiangrong managed to find it out to answer it. Buroni simply confessed that he was having dinner in a hot pot city half an hour later and hung up the phone.
Li Xiangrong arrived at the destination just in time, and when he entered the private room, he saw that the Bu family, father and son, and the kitchen colleagues had just gathered and were busy ordering food.He consciously walked to the seat near the door and sat down. Anton next to him enthusiastically helped him refill the tea and set the bowl, and pointed to the menu and asked him to order a few more dishes.
A large pot of red oil and spicy soup was boiled on the induction cooker in the middle of the round table. In the center was light black mountain mushroom clear soup. Fresh and tender sliced meat dishes filled the table and vegetable racks. There were not only garlic oil bowls but also sesame sauce in front of everyone. , green pepper sauce, sand tea sauce, seafood sauce, strange flavor dipping dish, dried chili noodle dipping dish, peanut and sesame dipping dish and other seasonings, wait until the pot is opened, put mushrooms and meat and cook for a while, then add tofu beans The skin konjac is boiled, eat a few mouthfuls first, and then slowly pick up the fat lamb wool belly and eat it while rinsing, especially the rice field eel, goose intestine, yellow throat, loach, and yellow spicy diced that the local people prefer. Turn over a few times in the spicy red soup, it is supremely fresh, smooth and tender.
It is said that men from other places are not very interested in hot pot, but in Sichuan and Chongqing, hot pot is loved by almost everyone. There is no need to pay attention to rules, levels, or image. Everyone unbuttons their sleeves and sweats profusely after eating , is a cool.
The blushing Bruni dragged a case of beer, uncapped the bottle and handed one to each of them, but no one was polite to him, and just drank half of the bottle in one gulp.
Ah Rong picked up a big chopsticks and put the white bean skin into the green pepper sauce. He took a mouthful and filled his mouth with hotness. Tightening and suddenly being stretched, it was extremely exciting.
Buroni hurriedly took the teapot to refill him with water, and refilled it for all the people. Anton yelled happily with the beef in his hands, "It's so comfortable!"
Xiang Lai's gentle Bu smiled and said, "It's better to eat like this to be refreshed."
Feng Yifan gnawed on the ribs and said, "It's still spicy and tasty, the food we usually eat is too bland."
Lu Yong pointed at him with chopsticks, "As a chef, how can you be addicted to heavy oil and heavy smell? Excessive stimulation will destroy your sense of taste and smell."
Feng Yifan retorted, "I heard that in the past, the nannies of rich families ate clear water elbows without soy sauce and salt. It was for milk production. It would be too miserable for the chef to mix like that."
That is to say, he can speak so freely, Bu Wei endured it and still smiled, "Don't think you are lawless, your father told me to discipline you well."
Feng Yifan winked and said, "Hehe, my dad told me to steal a few tricks and go home quickly. My family's storm building is still waiting for me to inherit~"
Bu smiled and scolded, "Go away, go back to your house and be your young master. The temple of Bu's family is too small to accommodate a great god like you."
Although he said this in a calm and complacent tone, like an easy-going elder making a harmless joke, but there was indelible fatigue in those eyes, the drooping corners of the eyes and the raised lip line were always somewhat incongruous, He Zhishan looked at him worriedly.
Buroni laughed loudly, "Brother Feng, why don't I go to your house to steal my teacher?"
Feng Yifan spread his hands indifferently, "Okay, but Qilu's flavor is light and soft, you will definitely say that a bird fades out of your mouth."
Bu Langni said, "What do I dislike? My food is bland and soft, only suitable for the elderly."
Lu Yong lowered his face and was about to speak when Bu Wei leisurely said, "Yeah, maybe only the elderly like it."
The host hurriedly motioned to Mr. Lu, who was in charge, to speak, and interrupted awkwardly to say a few words, but Mr. Lu didn't move his chopsticks at all, and said coldly to the chef, "Nowadays, we all pay attention to healthy eating. We don't like your dish." Don't worry."
The chef, who was still full of color just now, walked away like a balloon that was suddenly punctured, and no one ate that luxurious-looking dish at all.
Bu Langni said to Li Xiangrong, "Look, food safety is the top priority now, and chefs need to be smart, thinking that making something unusual is called being creative."
Li Xiangrong suddenly laughed softly, "I remember watching the movie Man Han Quan Xi, and the final confrontation was something like a bear's paw, an elephant's nose, a monkey's brain or something."
Buroni raised his hand and patted his head lightly, "Who is so blind to bring protected animals here? It's embarrassing in front of foreign friends."
Li Xiangrong sneered and said, "You foreign friend can eat all the good things in China."
Buroni quickly declared, "I have never eaten protected animals!"
Li Xiangrong said in a tone of being too lazy to talk to you, "How dare you eat less shark's fin and bird's nest?"
This was the truth, and Buroni couldn't refute it, so he could only continue to look at the big screen sullenly.
American friend Polk is asking about a "Dragon Boat Carrying Treasures". The whole dragon boat carved from winter melon is filled with dishes made of abalone, shark's fin, fish skirt, Hericium erinaceus, scallops, ham, pork, and chicken. The wax gourd that has been boiled in water is translucent, and the materials inside look really colorful like pearls and treasures.
Polk asked, "Have you calculated the total calories and protein, fat, and fiber content of these ingredients?"
The chef replied fluently in English, "This dish has a variety of varieties, rich in nutrients, soft, glutinous and crispy in texture, and fresh and delicious in taste."
Polk frowned, grinned at Dai Yun, the God of Cookery who hadn't spoken yet, and asked again patiently, "I mean, your dish is a little too greasy?"
The chef looked at him in surprise, "You haven't tasted it yet, it's definitely delicious!"
Polk smiled helplessly while shaking his head, and Dai Yun said to him in Hong Kong-style Mandarin, "Do as the Romans do, this dish looks very pretty!"
Polk scooped up a slice of Hericium erinaceus critically and chewed it, then nodded and said nothing.
Li Xiangrong bumped into Lonny again, "Why do you want the food judges to find an American? They should find you French, right?"
Buroni said unhappily, "The French and Chinese are the only ones that are delicious, right? Because there are more farmers in these two countries."
Li Xiangrong touched his nose, wanting to say that I didn't mean it that way, and it seemed unnecessary. He saw Bai Yuanyuan's fingers tightly gripping the armrest of the chair, and asked worriedly, "Sister Bai, are you feeling well?"
Bai Yuanyuan shook her head lightly, her eyes only looking forward, "It's time to reach the mountain."
The author has something to say: the pumpkin cream soup I made~~~~
The knowledge about Xi Shi Tongue comes from Baidu:
Shih Tzu tongue is a marine shellfish belonging to the phylum Mollusca, class Lamellibranchia, order Veneroida, and family Mactridae.It is widely distributed in the shoals of the Indo-Pacific Sea, and Zhanggang, Changle, Fujian is a famous place of origin, so it is also called "Zhanggang sea mussel".The individual is relatively large, and the length can reach more than 10 cm. The meat is crisp and tender, and the taste is sweet. It is a rare and precious shellfish with high economic value.It is distributed along the coast of China and is a common species.Artificial breeding has been carried out now.
ps: In fact, this thing is not too rare, but the traditional way is to fry or cook soup. The chef said that it is wild and freshly peeled, which aroused the disgust of nutritionists, because wild ones are indeed very unsafe. China Man's penchant for wild game has a bad reputation internationally.

The scoring of hot dishes is coming to an end, and the dazzling "Chicken Sauce with Ginseng and Abalone", "Beef Tongue Reflected in the Evening Glow", "Assorted Black Stone Ginseng", "Sliced Suckling Pig", "Mushroom Stewed with Shanrui", "Raw Cooked Unicorn Fish After the "Dongting Golden Turtle" scored the scores one by one, He Zhishan stood in front of the judges' seat, leaning his head slightly forward, ready to answer the judges' questions.
His work is a pot of cabbage.
In the small bowl in front of the judges, half a boxwood cabbage heart that was cut in half from the middle was floating in the clear soup. From the outer leaves to the inside, it was tender green and light yellow, stretched in shape, fresh and elegant.
After serving the delicacies of mountains and seas in full swing, this dish was surprisingly light. Even the host paused for a while when he read the name of the dish, "boiled cabbage".
The judges didn't say much, quietly picked up the spoon to drink the soup, and ate all the fresh and tender choy sum.
Li Xiangrong pushed Lonnie and urged, "Go back to your seat, the food is delivered."
Bronney glanced at his mother hesitantly. Mrs. Fanny was thanking the hostess who was sharing the dishes, and the cutlery was still on the empty table.
Li Xiangrong was anxious for him, "Hurry up, if you don't go, people won't scoop you up."
"I don't want to eat..." Buroni muttered, wanting to move.
Li Xiangrong said, "I'm afraid He Zhishan wouldn't cook this dish at Bu's house. If you don't eat it, you won't have a chance."
After hearing this, Buroni sat down firmly, and hummed softly, "If you don't eat, you don't eat."
Li Xiangrong looked around, Bai Yuanyuan seemed to be unaware of their conversation, she looked at the big screen calmly, and the camera scanned the calm faces of the judges one by one.
Picking up the napkin and pressing the corner of his mouth, Mr. Lu, a national culinary master, said with a smile, "Master He, are you from Sichuan?"
He Zhishan nodded in agreement.
Mr. Lu clapped his hands, and said in Sichuan dialect, "It's three, this dish is very suitable, and the taste is very good!"
Dai Yun looked at him in surprise, then at the host, and exchanged glances with Polk, neither of them understood the dialect very well.
Zhong Cheng also immediately sighed, "True and authentic! It smells elegant and fragrant, and eats it soft and melts into dregs. It's really good."
The two judges clearly expressed their appreciation. This is the treatment that the previous chefs did not receive. Needless to say, the scoring results got a very high score.
The chef who made the dragon boat carrying treasures was full of indignation, as if he wanted to say that just this spoonful of clear water vegetable leaves scored higher than his cornucopia-like dishes?
Polk shrewdly called his name and asked, "Do you know why your food is not as good as his?"
Seeing the camera focus on the faces of the two, Li Xiangrong exclaimed, "Hey, this is a live broadcast, did this foreigner do it on purpose?"
Bronney speculated, "It should be intentional. It's more interesting to have conflicts."
Li Xiangrong leaned his head on the back of the chair, "Allies, it's too disharmonious~"
The chef opened his mouth and didn't dare to speak nonsense. Zhong Cheng probably expressed his friendship with the two hosts, and said thoughtfully, "This boiled cabbage highlights the word 'fresh'. It is the best soup in Sichuan cuisine. It looks simple. Simple, in fact this soup, Master He, you introduce it."
He Zhishan took the microphone and said calmly, "Use one old hen and one duck each for clear soup, two and a half catties each of pork ribs, stick bones, and fresh pork lean meat, three liang of chicken breast, add stalks of green onion, ginger, and Shaoxing wine. ,Salt."
Zhong Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, I also watched carefully the steps of minced meat and clear soup just now, so it's fine if you don't explain it in detail."
The disapproving attitude towards He Zhishan's simple description aroused Dai Yun's curiosity. He tilted his head and asked, "Mr. Zhong made it clear. The method of using minced meat to cook soup is very interesting."
Zhong Cheng smiled and said intentionally, "I'll tell you when I come down. I'm greedy for the next dish right now? Is it a crab? It's golden-looking and jade-like, with two pincers and bright moon autumn river! Not bad!"
The lady of etiquette promptly delivered the simmering sweet-scented osmanthus rice wine and exquisite utensils. The crabs were cold and served with rice wine or ginger tea so as not to hurt the stomach.
"Crab meat is light on the table, and this dish should be served in the last order," Buroni made a comment, then relaxed and slumped on the chair.
"Hey," Li Xiangrong followed his example, "Uncle Zhong Cheng is very close to the Bu family, right? He obviously helps He Zhishan a lot."
Buroni said disinterestedly, "That's what it should be, he has always admired Senior Brother He."
Bai Yuanyuan, who had been very quiet all this time, turned her head to look at the two of them sideways. Two equally young faces were leaning together in the slightly dark field of vision. One face was too bright, while the other was so bland that only a pair of round eyes were still alive. He hesitated, "Zhishan is really a very down-to-earth person..."
Buroni said impatiently, "I know!" He almost never showed an expression of boredom with this sister whom he had known close to for more than ten years, and at this moment he could only suppress his irritated anger.
Li Xiangrong tilted his head to touch his head, Bulangni slammed back hard, and said weakly to Bai Yuanyuan, "Sister, don't think too much, there's nothing wrong."
The last pastries were all on the table. Bai Yuanyuan made an improved version of Soviet-style fresh meat mooncakes with added vegetable fibers. When you bite into the crispy skin, the gravy is full of juice, hot and fresh. The judges were full of surprise and nodded.
Buroni snorted softly, "Is this also a new product created by yourself?"
Bai Yuanyuan smiled and said, "I made it for Mrs. Fanny, she likes it very much."
There is almost no suspense in the final score. The temporarily added food carving items accounted for a low coefficient in the total score. The main points are hot dishes and cold dishes. The two masters in the competition area qualified for the New Year's Day finals.
The little crab master and He Zhishan changed into golden chef hats and stood on the steps and bowed to everyone. The salute was played and colorful papers were played. The audience applauded and cheered, especially the distinguished guests in the front row, Mrs. The noble ladies hugged each other and talked to the camera, Buroni stood up and stretched out of boredom, "Arong, you should make a request to Senior Brother He or something."
Li Xiangrong looked up at him, and smiled foolishly, "I just want to stay at your house and learn some real things, nothing else."
Bai Yuanyuan asked strangely, "Haven't you been studying hard?"
Li Xiangrong frowned suddenly, and said aggrievedly, "Sister Bai, can you call He... Brother, don't be so stern with me in the future? I'll be thankful."
Bai Yuanyuan chuckled, "Don't pay attention to him, Zhishan has social phobia. Back then he had a crush on me for three years and still kept a straight face to me."
Buroni nodded seriously, "Arong, just treat him as facial paralysis."
Bai Yuanyuan smiled and supported her waist and said, "Lonnie, don't let him hear it, that person is narrow-minded."
Li Xiangrong exaggeratedly exclaimed, "A narrow-minded man is not good, sister Bai, why did you choose him?"
Bai Yuanyuan looked at her ostentatious husband on the big screen, her eyebrows curved, and she said softly, "You are so small that you just pretend to be me."
Bu Langni and Li Xiangrong made a gesture of vomiting at the same time, and Bai Yuanyuan laughed and said angrily, "Let's leave the stage, let's go through the side door, and we will wait for the announcement."
The two of them divided into left and right and followed Bai Yuanyuan's side, stretched out their hands to shield her from the people she might meet in front of them, and walked slowly out of the studio. The light is like a veil within reach, covering this noisy world.
The three of them waited for Mrs. Fanny to meet in the parking lot. Mrs. Fanny said to Bai Yuanyuan worriedly, "Your face is very pale. I'll take you back to rest first."
He Bai lived in an apartment two blocks away from Bu's house, and the transportation was very convenient.
Bai Yuanyuan shook her head, pointed to a black Peugeot and said, "I'll wait in the car, Zhishan should be here soon, you guys go first."
Mrs. Fanny pressed the car door with one hand, "What kind of words are you throwing a pregnant woman here!" Her bright red evening dress shone in the moonlight, her high nose and deep eyes were very attractive, and her curly hair was flowing on her shoulders. golden awn.
Bu Langni looked at his mother's car, and suggested, "How stupid to stay here, there are a few small shops across the street, let's go to the rest meeting, and let's go together when Senior Brother He comes out."
Bai Yuanyuan hesitated, "He'll be out in a while, there's no need to bother you..."
Fanny hugged her shoulders, and gently slid her arms down her back, "You go drink some hot milk and eat something, it's cold and tired here." She flinched exaggeratedly On her own shoulder, Buroni reluctantly took off her coat and put it on her, receiving a kiss and praise from her as a "good son".
Li Xiangrong changed the paper bag containing the assistant's chef's robe into a hand, and persuaded together, "Let's go, I'm starving to death, sister treat me to dinner~"
Bai Yuanyuan could only smile and said, "I also said that I would invite you to my house for a good meal on the rest day. You are lowering your requirements."
Li Xiangrong said with a smile, "I'm satisfied now as long as I eat beef noodle with pork intestine powder."
Mrs. Fanny held Bai Yuanyuan in one hand and her son in the other, and strode forward boldly, "Then let's go, why are you still here, the food tasting just now made me hungry, Lonnie, let's go to the bar for a drink? "
Buroni immediately agreed with both hands, "I want to drink a bomber!"
Fanny glared at her son, "You are only allowed to drink the kiss of an angel, and when you are young, you can drink strong alcohol."
A few people chattered into a small bar with a good atmosphere, and sat in a relatively quiet booth on the second floor by the window. There were not many people in the shop, blues music was flowing quietly, and there was a large bottle of lilies blooming on the window sill. I leaned closer to my nose to smell the fragrance that might have the taste of my hometown.
There were several pictorials and newspapers on the table for the entertainment of the guests. Brony turned on the desk lamp and rummaged through them for a while, then threw the newspapers away in boredom.
"What's the matter?" asked Mrs. Fanny.
"Just these two lines..." Buroni pointed to a newspaper and said disappointedly, "It's fine if there's no morning paper, but the evening paper just mentioned a few words about yesterday's banquet, and they didn't pay attention at all. .”
Fanny pulled it over and took a look, "The academic awards ceremony is only a quarter of the page, and it would be nice to mention the Bu family. This is a report, not a column."
Buroni propped his chin with both hands, "Then I can only read this week's Urban Life Weekly. There should be a relatively large special report, and next month's several months..."
Fanny pushed all the newspapers aside, and said helplessly, "It's time for a break, and I don't have a workaholic son!"
The spicy pasta ordered by Li Xiangrong had just been delivered, and Buroni suddenly thought, "The seafood fried rice here is pretty good, would you like some?"
Li Xiangrong quickly waved his hands and said, "Forget the seafood, I feel a little bit when I think of that 'Xi Shi Tongue'..." He wrinkled his stomach into a bitter face.
Mrs. Fanny immediately echoed, "Yes, each of us dares to move, but it's a pity that you ran away, Lonnie. The next few dishes are delicious."
Bronney responded with little interest, "The best way is that?"
Fanny thought about it carefully, "It's boiled cabbage. It doesn't matter who made it. The dish itself is very good. It can almost be listed as the top three of the best things I've eaten this year."
Bu Lang Ni bit her lip and didn't know how to answer, Bai Yuanyuan quickly pushed the peanuts in front of her to the middle, "Lonnie, eat something before drinking, be careful not to get drunk."
Buroni picked up a few peanuts casually, looked out the window casually, and suddenly fixed his gaze.
Zhong Cheng and He Zhishan were walking along the street, obviously looking for a place to sit down.
Just as Bu Langni called out, "Sister Bai..." the phone rang.
Buroni saw He Zhishan put the phone on his ear, and Bai Yuanyuan frantically took out the phone from her bag and pressed the connect button.
The pregnant woman's mobile phone has long been set to hands-free status, and He Zhishan's voice came clearly, "Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, can you go home by yourself? I have something important to delay for a while, so I will go back later."
Fanny was about to protest, but Bruni quickly reached out to block her and swung violently, the corner of his eyes scanning the figures downstairs.
Bai Yuanyuan said unhappily, "It's too much. I used to call her Xiao Tiantian, but now I throw her on the street."
He Zhishan's voice was also a little apologetic, "It's my fault, don't be angry, Mrs. Fanny and the others are gone, or you..."
Bu Langni saw Zhong Cheng grinning, He Zhishan paused and continued to say sorry in a voice so soft that water could drip out.
In the mocking eyes of everyone, Bai Yuanyuan had no choice but to say, "Okay, I know, you should also be careful and come back early."
When Fanny was about to speak, the waiter brought her the wine she ordered. The pale green mint Fleurbee was very beautiful, but Bronnie, who received the angel's kiss, was not too satisfied.
Picking up the rim of the cup and eating the red cherries in one bite, Buroni saw He Zhishan and Zhong Cheng walk into the adjacent tavern downstairs.
Soon a car stopped on the opposite side of the street, two people got off, and an old man with a familiar face was walking in front.
Mr. Xu, an overseas Chinese who was invited by Zhong Cheng to have dinner at Bu's house half a year ago.
The author has something to say: My baked yellow peach cheese tart~

He Zhishan, who qualified for the finals, was no different from usual. He did what he had to do, so that people could not see the impact of this competition on him. Anyway, it was still a few months before New Year's Day, and the Bu family's New Year's Day The holidays are from Christmas to New Year's Day, and the whole family will go back to Mrs. Fanny's French natal home.
It’s just that I didn’t mention Li Xiangrong’s departure before the feast. It’s unreasonable to ask him to help you during the game, and tell him to leave after you use it. He Zhishan thanked Li Xiangrong in the store the next day, Naturally, he said something like working hard together.
Now that Lu Yong has retreated to the second line, of course there is no objection at this time. The Patriarch of the Bu family finally left the hospital two days later. His illness was originally a small cold, and he spent five days in a single ward, which is very intentional. Suspect of sabotage.
Li Xiangrong never said anything about whether to leave or stay, he worked honestly, stayed quietly, and behaved extremely well-behaved.Tao Xingming sealed Yifan Anton and the others with a peaceful attitude, and Buroni moderately expressed how much he valued him, so everyone finally felt at ease and accepted him.
The feeling of an internship is different from a formal job. The humility and timidity of an intern is not only a lack of self-confidence, but also an isolation cover supported by a blind sense of self-protection of "I'll leave if it's a big deal."Do you still not like me?Well, I don't like you either, why look at your faces?
Too many newcomers lose opportunities as soon as they step into the workplace because they can't grasp their own positioning. Showing their sharpness may be a blockbuster, but those who make steady progress believe that water will flow forever.
It is easy to stand out at the beginning, but it is difficult to get the sincere approval of those who are far more mature and experienced than yourself. Some people stumble because of their arrogance, but they only complain about the uneven road but do not reflect on why they did not use their own eyes. look at the road.
Changing habits is as difficult as changing identities. If you officially get a job that is valued in the eyes of others and in your own heart, will you feel wronged at every turn?Will it be easy to say that I quit?No way, this job gives you a clear goal, a stirring emotion, a fixed income, and a distant future, making you stronger, more confident, more enthusiastic and fulfilling. Compared with this, What does it matter if a native leader gives a cold face?Besides, he asked you for help and invited you to dinner.
Now Li Xiangrong feels very happy. Since he decided to make a career as a chef, how lucky he is to work as an apprentice in the most high-end restaurants in this city, this province, and even the southwest region, and to have a good friendship with the small boss!
In the mid-autumn season, when the flowers are perfect and the moon is full, he is full of ambition, and his heart is full of flying joy.
Tao Xingming told him that the junior chef’s qualification certificate is not enough to look at. If there is a chance, he should take the exam again. Li Xiangrong was convinced. After checking some exam procedures on the Internet, he decided to buy some reference books for self-study. The chef school will organize students to participate in the test regularly, or the chef will personally go to the relevant department to pay the registration fee and registration materials, and take the exam by himself. The theoretical knowledge of nutrition and cooking must pass the written test, and the technical test is to draw lots in the prescribed dishes. , The dishes are cooked on the spot, and the examiner tastes them to give points. It is not too difficult. After all, the qualification certificate is only a license to practice, and the quality of the craftsmanship depends on the reactions of the diners.
On this rest day, Li Xiangrong went to the Southwest Bookstore to look for books, and it happened to be a Saturday, so the store was overcrowded, and if he tried to squeeze through the shelves, he would be sweaty.On the benches, next to the bookcases, and in the aisles, there are crowds of people holding books and reading with gusto, some even gnawing bread and drinking drinks, slumped on the floor with a few books piled up in their hands, as if no one else was around. .
Li Xiangrong ran upstairs and downstairs twice, wandered around under the sign of the social folk family life test materials, but did not find where the cook grade test book was. It took a long time to find a shopping guide who was also sweaty. The child frowned and thought about it for a long time and said I'm really sorry, why don't you go to the service desk to check, there are too many people today, and it happens to be half a month since the start of school, countless elementary and middle school students carry big bags and small bags to buy reference books and exercise sets. The first floor is the auxiliary teaching area, and it is full of dark heads. The radio keeps repeating "Student XX, your parents are waiting for you at the door on the first floor, please meet quickly." "Student XX, you My friend told me to leave first, please pay attention to the text messages on your mobile phone." It was so noisy that it made people dizzy.
Li Xiangrong sighed overwhelmed, turned sideways and went down the safety ladder to the first floor. There were still some vacant seats among the rows of bookshelves marked with philosophy. He walked over and squeezed a bench to sit down, and took out a few napkins from his trouser pocket to wipe his sweat first. .
Looking at his phone, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Li Xiangrong decided to wait a little longer and ask the service desk when there were fewer people. He wanted to learn from the people around him and find a book to pass the time first.
He got up and took a few steps. The row of Descartes, Hegel, and Marx made him stare blankly. After choosing for a long time, he picked a copy of "Book of Changes", a popular edition of Chinese studies. The previous seat had been occupied by someone else, so he simply leaned on the bookshelf. Flip through the book.
"Elephant" says: Wood grows in the ground and rises.A gentleman is Shunde, and a small one is tall.
What does it mean?
Li Xiangrong scratched his hair, turned the pages to find the notes, "Trees grow from small to large, from low to high, and a gentleman should follow the laws of nature to strengthen self-cultivation and accumulate small progress..."
There was a sudden movement in his mind, like a weak electric current making a rustling sound, like a radio station that had been silent for a long time found a channel again, trying to call for his response tentatively.
—Master, he cried with a smile, feeling a stronger throbbing.
——I, are you okay...Xu Ji has never been so coy before, let Li Xiangrong realize how ashamed and ashamed he is.
——I'm fine, how are you?
- Don't you blame me?
——It's a bit strange, Li Xiangrong replied honestly, the ghost's upper body feels very bad, please don't do it again.
——No more, Xu Ji felt a little more at ease, and explained that my energy was at the end of its strength, and my upper body was almost exhausted that time, and it would disappear in smoke if I did it again.
—Aren’t you going to reincarnate?Li Xiangrong was very curious.
- when I died
My soul is incomplete, if I didn't rely on the protection of Manshuyuan, I would have disappeared completely.
——Aren’t you a Dharma protector?so weak?
——I am not a god... In fact, my whole life's belief is to let the people of the country not believe in gods, and don't believe in the divine right of kings...
Li Xiangrong felt that such a noisy environment was not suitable for deep conversations, so he hurriedly said that he would go back to talk slowly at night, and now he was going to find a book.
He closed Zhou Yi and stuffed it into the bookshelf. He was about to turn around when someone patted his shoulder.
"You?" The small young man with a big bag on his back looked at him familiarly, with thin eyebrows, narrow eyes, flat nose and thick lips, and said with an affectionate smile, "Are you also on stage for the Mid-Autumn Festival competition?"
"Oh..." Li Xiangrong blinked, "You are No.2!"
The little man clapped his hands and said with a smile, "It's me, the first one is you, Master He's?"
Li Xiangrong reported his name, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. At the same time, he felt a little sorry for not remembering the other party's name. The little man patted his chest and said, "My name is Liu Yunxian, the cloud of the cloud. I'm leisurely. I've been a chef for six years. How about you?"
Li Xiangrong said in surprise, "You look so young! I'm almost 20, and I've learned to cook for more than a year."
Liu Yunxian patted himself on the forehead and said, "I'm 23 years old. I started studying after graduating from high school. I used to work in Jincheng Hotel~"
Jincheng Hotel is the earliest five-star hotel in Rongcheng, and it still has a historical background. The catering department is also quite famous. There are many high-ranking guests and high-ranking officials. Many large companies also set up public relations activities there.
Li Xiangrong expressed surprise, "Then you now?"
Liu Yunxian replied bluntly, "I'm not happy with the job, the top is too overwhelming, I plan to venture into the rivers and lakes by myself! Recently, I have been fully preparing for the competition and practicing my skills at home. Everything will be discussed after the finals."
Li Xiangrong saw that he was wearing famous brand clothing, with silver rings on his ears and an iPod hanging around his neck. He looked carefree like someone who was worried about life, and kept saying that you should work hard.
Liu Yunxian said, "By the way, are you going to the capital? I heard that the finals can bring at most one assistant, and it's best for the contestants to do it alone. It's quite mysterious."
Li Xiangrong said with little interest, "That day, I was helping a big brother. I was still working part-time. People might not call me by then, and it might not be convenient for them to go if they called me."
Liu Yunxian said, "That's right, but you've only been learning for more than a year, so you're so good at food carving? I see that your knife skills are very good."
Li Xiangrong said, "Knife skills have been passed down from his family since he was a child, and he has not been practicing for a long time, so he can only be his assistant."
Liu Yunxian patted him vigorously on the shoulder and said, "Hey, you can sign up by yourself next year. Sometimes it's just luck. By the way, are you satisfied now? Leave your phone number for me. I'm going to open a shop next year. You."
Li Xiangrong took out his mobile phone and said that you can tell me the number first, and I will call it for you. The place where he works is okay now, and he is preparing for the exam.
Liu Yunxian said happily, "The exam is not difficult, if you put your mind to it, there is no problem. I only read the book for three days during the exam, and I got full marks in the theoretical exam."
Li Xiangrong admired it very much, and asked with an idea, "It's enough to memorize the theory test, but what about the practical operation? What must be done when the lottery is drawn? Can't it be changed?"
Liu Yunxian thought for a while and said, "If the dish drawn is your taboo, you should be able to tell the examiner to draw again, but there are only a few dozen popular dishes, there is nothing difficult, they are all basic skills."
Li Xiangrong smiled wryly, "Then you don't want to cook meat dishes, can you just cook vegetarian dishes?"
Liu Yunxian looked at him in surprise, "Only vegetarian dishes? I really don't know. I heard that some provinces seem to have special vegetarian chefs. You can ask someone."
Li Xiangrong thanked him sincerely.The two of them huddled between the bookshelves and just talked. Although there are relatively few people here, they still come and go. It is not good to block other people's way for too long.
Liu Yunxian took out his mobile phone and confirmed Li Xiangrong's number. He waved his hand and said, "I'll go upstairs to buy dishes. You can browse yours and call back."
The author has something to say: sausage spicy pasta~

Autumn in Rongcheng is very comfortable. The warm and cool breeze blows through the tall buildings, the bustling business district is full of people and traffic, and there is a festive atmosphere almost all the time.The sun still has half of its face hanging far away in the sky, neon lights are lit on both sides of the road, and the atmosphere of enjoyment becomes stronger as the night deepens.
The life here can best be described in one word, "easy and comfortable", this is a city that won't let you leave once you come.
Li Xiangrong was holding a heavy book bag, planning to walk back leisurely.The phone suddenly jumped a few times in his pocket, and Li Xiangrong managed to find it out to answer it. Buroni simply confessed that he was having dinner in a hot pot city half an hour later and hung up the phone.
Li Xiangrong arrived at the destination just in time, and when he entered the private room, he saw that the Bu family, father and son, and the kitchen colleagues had just gathered and were busy ordering food.He consciously walked to the seat near the door and sat down. Anton next to him enthusiastically helped him refill the tea and set the bowl, and pointed to the menu and asked him to order a few more dishes.
A large pot of red oil and spicy soup was boiled on the induction cooker in the middle of the round table. In the center was light black mountain mushroom clear soup. Fresh and tender sliced meat dishes filled the table and vegetable racks. There were not only garlic oil bowls but also sesame sauce in front of everyone. , green pepper sauce, sand tea sauce, seafood sauce, strange flavor dipping dish, dried chili noodle dipping dish, peanut and sesame dipping dish and other seasonings, wait until the pot is opened, put mushrooms and meat and cook for a while, then add tofu beans The skin konjac is boiled, eat a few mouthfuls first, and then slowly pick up the fat lamb wool belly and eat it while rinsing, especially the rice field eel, goose intestine, yellow throat, loach, and yellow spicy diced that the local people prefer. Turn over a few times in the spicy red soup, it is supremely fresh, smooth and tender.
It is said that men from other places are not very interested in hot pot, but in Sichuan and Chongqing, hot pot is loved by almost everyone. There is no need to pay attention to rules, levels, or image. Everyone unbuttons their sleeves and sweats profusely after eating , is a cool.
The blushing Bruni dragged a case of beer, uncapped the bottle and handed one to each of them, but no one was polite to him, and just drank half of the bottle in one gulp.
Ah Rong picked up a big chopsticks and put the white bean skin into the green pepper sauce. He took a mouthful and filled his mouth with hotness. Tightening and suddenly being stretched, it was extremely exciting.
Buroni hurriedly took the teapot to refill him with water, and refilled it for all the people. Anton yelled happily with the beef in his hands, "It's so comfortable!"
Xiang Lai's gentle Bu smiled and said, "It's better to eat like this to be refreshed."
Feng Yifan gnawed on the ribs and said, "It's still spicy and tasty, the food we usually eat is too bland."
Lu Yong pointed at him with chopsticks, "As a chef, how can you be addicted to heavy oil and heavy smell? Excessive stimulation will destroy your sense of taste and smell."
Feng Yifan retorted, "I heard that in the past, the nannies of rich families ate clear water elbows without soy sauce and salt. It was for milk production. It would be too miserable for the chef to mix like that."
That is to say, he can speak so freely, Bu Wei endured it and still smiled, "Don't think you are lawless, your father told me to discipline you well."
Feng Yifan winked and said, "Hehe, my dad told me to steal a few tricks and go home quickly. My family's storm building is still waiting for me to inherit~"
Bu smiled and scolded, "Go away, go back to your house and be your young master. The temple of Bu's family is too small to accommodate a great god like you."
Although he said this in a calm and complacent tone, like an easy-going elder making a harmless joke, but there was indelible fatigue in those eyes, the drooping corners of the eyes and the raised lip line were always somewhat incongruous, He Zhishan looked at him worriedly.
Buroni laughed loudly, "Brother Feng, why don't I go to your house to steal my teacher?"
Feng Yifan spread his hands indifferently, "Okay, but Qilu's flavor is light and soft, you will definitely say that a bird fades out of your mouth."
Bu Langni said, "What do I dislike? My food is bland and soft, only suitable for the elderly."
Lu Yong lowered his face and was about to speak when Bu Wei leisurely said, "Yeah, maybe only the elderly like it."
