Chapter 32 Shrimp Skin and Carrot Soup

In a way, Ning Xiao, who has been a chef for so many years, is spoiled.

Her mouth, her taste buds, her stomach.

She can endure boring knowledge and finish the previous courses in the same time.She can also suppress her desire and cook for decades, just for Lan Yuxin's eyes.

...But Ning Xiao can never tolerate starvation!

Tongue and stomach!starve!

absolute!No!

There really is no difference between being hungry and dead!

Ning Xiao made up her mind, as long as she didn't die in the afternoon, she would have to go for the assessment as well!

A foodie who can't eat what he wants, is there anything more cruel than this!

Ning Xiao lay on the bed angrily and slept for a while, preparing for the assessment in the afternoon.

Cha Guo's protest was ineffective, so he had to send a message to Uncle Muram with extremely low air pressure to get him ready.

The time is set at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Qi Yu, who was on the other side of the surveillance screen, also thought about it.

Her hands were stained with flour and rice, and she was wearing a brown apron in front of her, and she was making dumplings with her aunt.

"Auntie, I have something to do this afternoon, so I won't come." Qi Yu said this in an affirmative tone, but there was respect in his words.

The woman next to her was small in stature.Turning his face around, it can be seen that he is only in his twenties.The appearance of just coming of age.

The woman nodded, and said with concern: "Go out and be careful. If you have any difficulties, just look for your brother and uncle. It's better not to look for your second uncle."

Qi Yu obediently agreed.He turned his head and frowned.

Both of her parents died since she was a child, and she and her brother lived in the homes of several uncles and aunts.

Father Qi Botian is the eldest.There is a second uncle below, Qi Zhongtian who inherited the old shrimp dumpling shop.This aunt, Qi Shutian, also has a younger uncle, Qi Jitian.

Grandpa loved the culture of ancient civilizations back then, so he named them according to the order of brothers, uncles, and seasons.

When Qi Yu's father died, her aunt was in her teens and her uncle was only ten years old.She and her brother were only seven or eight years old.The whole family relies on the second uncle's family to live.

Second uncle Qi Zhongtian is cruel and treats them badly.It forced my aunt to set up her own family.

She took care of Qi Jitian and Qi Yu brothers and sisters like a son and daughter.

Now that my aunt is successful and my brother is famous, my second uncle posted it instead.While it's nice to use, it's really something to stay away from.

Qi Yu's mind turned in a circle, and he left it behind.She decided that she must go to see Ning Xiao when she went to take the assessment in the afternoon.She doesn't have to go to school anyway.

Even if there is no way to communicate on the spot, she can just watch silently.

As soon as Ning Xiao woke up, it was afternoon.She got up firmly, and even though she was grimacing in pain, she still put on her clothes.

The weather in late autumn has started to get cold.Ning Xiao's clothes were thick, covering the gauze tightly on her body.There was nothing she could do about the gauze on her head, she sneaked out of the hospital, sneaked home and took a white plush hat and put it on to block it.

She didn't go to the assessment immediately.Instead, prepare it first in your home kitchen.

Having the memory of her previous life is her greatest asset.Ning Xiao is very clear about the assessment process.

Ordinary fans are first-class.It's not that easy to upgrade.The assessment here is not only based on skills, but also on personal reputation and the reputation of the shop.So people who are a little famous now are the second level.Above the third level, it suddenly decreased.

After all, it was decades ago.Ning Xiao sighed.

Her goal is not high, one level is enough.Without a shop, no matter how skilled she is, she won't be able to reach the second level.And her goal now is just to make money.

When one o'clock arrived, Ning Xiao boarded the virtual network and entered the teleportation array.She and Uncle Muram agreed to meet at the door of the assessment department.

The food-related buildings are all in the Frosted Apple District, but the offices of these management assessment departments are separated from the commercial street food street.Planned in the south of the Frosted Apple District.

A tall gray stone building.The wide wooden door opened wide.This is the examination department.

Ning Xiao looked at the familiar door in his memory, took a deep breath, and walked in.Uncle Muram followed closely behind.

Not long after they entered, a thin and small figure also sneaked in.With short hair and yellow eyes, it was Qi Yu.

Ning Xiao walked through a straight passage and came to the hall.

It's not as deserted as she thought.The hall was divided into several parts, and the people were watched by the guides in gray clothes, and the assessment began one by one.Ning Xiao looked around and saw a man in gray holding a sign not far away.It says "Pay the assessment fee, please come here."

Ning Xiao and the two went over to pay the money and go through the formalities, and then walked back.I saw the sign of the next gray-clothed man saying "Please come here for the first level of the Chinese-style assessment."

At this time, there were already four people surrounded in front of this person.One of the young men was chopping carrot shreds with a kitchen knife. At the beginning, he was very handsome and held a knife.The rest stared at him.

Ning Xiao understood that the first test was about knife skills.Speed, thickness, and skill are indispensable.

Uncle Muram looked at the group of young and middle-aged men, and looked at Ning Xiao with some doubts.

Ning Xiao pretended not to see it.Let the facts speak for themselves.

Even though she is reborn, her skills are still there, and she is only a first-level knife skill.

After a while, it was Ning Xiao's turn.

When she gripped the handle of the knife tightly, the familiar feeling came back—her state as a chef in her previous life.

Without thinking, Ning Xiao picked up the knife and started cutting.

"It's really... It's been a long time since I saw such a good foundation." The man in gray praised in a low voice.

Muram's eyes widened and he remained silent.Under the beard, there was a satisfied smile.

The young people around the table just now started whispering.I didn't expect that this little girl looked so young, but her foundation was so solid.Look at the carrot shreds, almost the same thickness, the same depth, delicate and small.The knife is as good as the man.

When the little girl cut the knife, she was not in a hurry, and she had a certain momentum.Not a trace of error either.

The man in gray nodded repeatedly.From the perspective of knife work alone, this is a good seedling.

So Ning Xiao arrived at the next sign smoothly.

The second test is about knowledge and understanding of ingredients.

This level is also very simple.Thinking of Ning Xiao, who has been working with gourmet food for decades, he has an incomparably rich understanding of ingredients.

So she quickly passed with all pairs.

The next step is to match.The matching of ingredients, the matching of colors, and the matching of flavors.

The next step is to make your own special dishes and give them to the final judges to taste.

Don't look at the few and simple levels, this is just a first-level assessment.Basically most people can pass.The outstanding ones will also be secretly followed by people in the department.When necessary, they will take the initiative to invite them to come to the second level assessment.They even provide corresponding tutors for them, but all of these are subject to payment.But it will not teach the core or secret recipe of cooking, only the public part.This is also the reason why Muram did not come to learn.

Ning Xiao soon reached the last level, cooking a special dish.

At this time, there were already many people around her watching.

"Go, cook a dish of yours and show them." Uncle Muram urged.There is hope in the eyes.

Ning Xiao was at a difficult time again.Still this problem.What exactly is her specialty?

But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, this is only a first-level assessment.She just needs to cook the dishes to perfection.

Ning Xiao turned his eyes and saw several baskets of shredded radishes piled up in the first test.Got an idea.

"I'm going to make soup." She said calmly.

In the last level, because the players need a variety of ingredients and tools, there are also a variety of tools.Therefore, the occupied space is the largest.The number of onlookers is also the largest.After she reported the ingredients, the man in gray gave her a surprised look before going to prepare.

A stove, pot and basic seasonings were placed in front of Ning Xiao.

The ingredients were brought soon.On the table is a plate of shredded radish, green onions and dried shrimps.

"What kind of soup is this? Is it mixed with shredded radish and shrimp skin?" A girl nearby asked in a low voice.

The other person shook his head in confusion: "I've never seen this soup before."

Although Uncle Muram cooks western food, he still has some knowledge.His eyes glowed a little: "Is this the original...soup?"

Ning Xiao was still caught during the competition, and the results have not yet been announced.So he didn't know that Ning Xiao had already cooked an original dish before this.

The man in gray also nodded.Thought to myself: Although the soup is very simple, the idea is quite novel.Shrimp and carrot shreds are combined to make soup.Don't comment yet, wait until you taste it.

Ning Xiao ignored the discussions of the people around him, picked up the knife and peeled and washed the onions first, then cut the white and green onions into small pieces.

Bring over the plate of shredded radish.Pick out a small bowl of fresh shredded radish that is just right in thickness.

Ning Xiao finished his preparations and saw that there was only one pot in front of him.So asked for a wok.

"Don't you want to make soup? Why do you need a frying pan?" The people around were puzzled again.

A man who looked older than his age obviously had a lot of knowledge, and frowned: "I think this is to stir fry first and then add it to the soup."

The young man who just started was confused: "Isn't that vegetable soup...? Can it be used as soup for drinking?"

Ning Xiao remained silent.

When the wok arrived, she put the scallions and dried shrimps into the wok to fry.

The fresh aroma of shrimp mixed with the aroma of vegetable oil immediately hits the nostrils.Ning Xiao asked for a large bowl of water, poured it in and started to boil.

The man with rich knowledge whispered: "Look at this posture. Simple and rough. This soup is really..."

He also began to doubt.But Ning Xiao's posture seemed very aura and self-confidence.This makes the man a little hesitant.

A large group of people gathered around Ning Xiao's small pot, silently waiting for the water to boil.

Looking at this scene, it is still very easy to feel proud.But Ning Xiao's face was neither arrogant nor impetuous, he just stared at the pot intently.

This scene fell into the eyes of a gray-haired old man on the stairs.

He couldn't help but nodded slightly.He only paused for a moment before continuing upstairs.

The man in black accompanying him also glanced at Ning Xiao who was cooking in the hall on the first floor, his eyes thoughtful.

The man in black is a steady middle-aged man with majestic eyes and thin lips.He approached a man in gray and gave some instructions.

The man in gray nodded, and after returning to the hall, he joined the crowd watching Ning Xiao's cooking, watching silently.

Only the gray-clothed person who reviewed this last level noticed his colleagues in the crowd.His surprised eyes cast on the other party, only to move away for a moment.

The man in gray who served as the judge thought to himself: This is great. He doesn't have to wait for the soup to be made before he reports it. Someone above will be eyeing this girl.This girl has a bright future ahead.

Thinking of this, the man in gray looked at Ning Xiao with a friendly smile in his eyes.
