Delicacy

When he returned to the classroom, the corners of Qin Yuanmu's mouth were still crazily raised. If there was no one in the class, he would have beaten him to the ground.

Xu Tao was worrying about the math paper, and when he saw Qin Yuanmu who was about to smile, he said angrily: "Brother, what's the matter with you? When you went out, it seemed like you were going to kill someone. What's the situation now? The murder was successful." ?”

Qin Yuanmu is in a good mood and doesn't want to bother with this single dog: "No, it's just a phone call."

Xu Tao suddenly became more interested, and immediately pushed the damn math roll aside: "Tell me, who are you calling? It must be your girlfriend, right? Seriously, I see you contacting her almost every day, I haven’t seen a real person yet, bring me here and see!”

Qin Yuanmu looked at him with a smile on his face: "Get lost."

"Oh, it's boring brother," Xu Tao said, "Brother, I won't steal your wife, after all, she must not be blind. I'm just curious, what kind of peerless beauty can fascinate you like this?"

"Anyway, it's not like you." Qin Yuanmu glanced at Xu Tao's roll paper, "You have the time to think about it, it's better to do the questions well, I called the phone for one class, and you did two questions ? And it's all fucking wrong."

Xu Tao was unhappy: "Damn it? Even you can despise me in study? I copied these two questions from the class committee, how could I be wrong?"

The class committee member is a girl in their class who studies vocal music. The only super student in the entire cram school with a total test score of more than [-] is called the class committee member.Qin Yuanmu was very disdainful of this kind of cripple's behavior of picking generals. In his opinion, there is no essential difference between four hundred and one hundred, it is nothing more than a good character and more right.

The class committee members may have been called so many times, and they really felt a sense of responsibility. They looked back at Qin Yuanmu and Xu Tao and said, "Two students, please stop talking, so as not to affect everyone's study."

Qin Yuanmu sighed in his heart, this girl looks good, but it's a pity that she committed suicide.

Sure enough, Xu Tao, who seemed to have never seen a woman in five lifetimes all day long, saw a girl talking to him, immediately abandoned Qin Yuanmu, propped himself up on the desk and began to verbally harass the class committee.Xueba was harassed so much by him that he even covered his ears like a primary school student.

From then on, this cram school probably won't have any top students...

On the way back at night, Qin Yuanmu, who had nothing to do, thought of the scalded blister on Lian Xiao's hand.It is normal for a chef to be cut by a knife, burned by fire, and scalded with oil, as long as he is proficient.But now it's not someone else who is scalded, but Lian Xiao, Qin Yuanmu can't figure out how to understand the four words proficiency.

Does Lian Xiao get burned often?Have you ever been cut by a kitchen knife?If he becomes four fingers, can he still cook... Qin Yuanmu couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning, he had already imagined Lian Xiao as a poor little boy who was still gnashing his teeth and cooking with scars all over his body.

However, the little pity is not so pitiful.The reason why Lian Xiao was burned was entirely because it was the first time he took over the things in the kitchen, and it was not easy to use them.Since then, he has never been injured again. Whether it is a knife or hot oil, he is much more obedient than Qin Yuanmu in his hands.In the past two days, Lian Xiao has been busy preparing for the competition, and has no time to contact Qin Yuanmu, otherwise Qin Yuanmu will definitely not be able to help but speak out his wild thoughts, and then the poor little Lian Xiao will have some jokes about him up.

After Mr. Yang, a health expert, took Lian Xiao to visit the examination room, he was even more speechless towards this teacher who was eating self-heating hot pot on a yoga mat.Lian Xiao had never participated in this kind of competition, and thought that all the contestants got together to cook at the same time, but the result was more complicated than he imagined.

According to the majors of the contestants, several items were set up in the competition, pastry, carving, Chinese food, Western food, everything, and each was divided into more examination items. These health experts never mentioned it to him before. .

That is to say, the ranking in this competition is still quite high. After all, each event has first, second and third prizes, which is almost a bad street.

This incident itself is nothing, but what Lian Xiao is worried about is that there may be more things that the health care expert did not tell him...

Lian Xiao knows nothing except the bottom and stir-fry dishes, but there is still a big difference between the bottom stir-fry and pasta Chinese food.Lian Xiao looked through the registration form for a long time, and finally he could only choose a Chinese dish.The content of the competition is only one dish, which is fried potato shreds, which tastes very homely, and I have practiced it in school before, so it should... not be too ugly to lose.

However, although Teacher Yang is not very reliable on the surface, he still has something in his stomach.He has great expectations for the competition event Lian Xiao chooses, and he does not do yoga every day, and almost always teaches Lian Xiao competition skills.

"As I said before, your knife skills still have a foundation, but the competition is very different from cooking by yourself." Mr. Yang said, holding a knife in one hand and pressing the cleaned whole potato with the other, "the time for the competition It is very short, so the knife must be fast and steady, and the shreds should not be too wide or too thick, otherwise you will still be a pot of raw potatoes when the time comes."

Lian Xiao observed Mr. Yang's shredding action with a very serious expression.

There are quite a lot of regulations in the competition. It is not that if you make it delicious, you will win the prize, but every step will be scored by the judges, and the one with the highest score will win.Take fried potato shreds as an example. From washing potatoes to peeling and frying them out of the pan, the entire process is stipulated within 7 minutes, and those that exceed the time will be eliminated directly.Moreover, the peeled skin should not exceed [-] grams, and the shredded potatoes should be uniform in size and length, and they should not be fried or raw.A small potato shreds will test these future chefs in almost all aspects.

Lian Xiao was sure about the size of the shredded potatoes, but he had trouble peeling them.The round potatoes are very cute in Mr. Yang's hands, and a large kitchen knife is as dexterous as a fruit knife. The potatoes are flipped back and forth at his fingertips, and after a while, they look like a peeled apple, revealing light yellow skin.As for the skin that Teacher Yang cut off, Lian Xiao took a closer look and estimated that it didn't even have [-] grams.

Lian Xiao sincerely wanted to applaud, but the real person really didn't show his face!

"You have a try," Teacher Yang handed over the kitchen knife, "Be careful, don't move the hand holding the knife, otherwise it will be unsafe and unsightly. Although the kitchen knife is big, the blade is only so small, and you can hold the potato and spin it on the blade That's it, be careful."

Lian Xiao had never peeled the skin like this before, so Lian Xiao was a little nervous and followed suit.After all, with so many years of experience here, Lian Xiao will not be able to cut it, but he obviously can't master this method of peeling for a while. After he finishes peeling carefully, the potatoes in his hand are basically left Chipped, there are dead potato fragments scattered all over the chopping board.

"You're still afraid of cutting your hand..." Teacher Yang glanced at it and said, "The blade doesn't move, so there's no need to be so afraid. But it's not bad to be able to leave so much for the first time, let's practice more."

Looking at the extremely light potato in his hand, Lian Xiao felt that Teacher Yang's comfort was a little helpless.Lian Xiao is still confident in the process of shredding and frying, so on the day when the official competition starts, most of Lian Xiao's energy is used to practice peeling.

As for Qin Yuanmu, although the atmosphere has always been very relaxed, it may be that his foundation is really poor, and he has made some progress in this environment.Wu Fenfang asked Qin Yuanmu to take part in the No. [-] middle school test again, in order to see if her money was in vain, but she was satisfied with the result.

Qin Yuanmu looked at his best report card in his life, didn't say anything, but was very happy in his heart, and immediately took a picture and sent it to Lian Xiao.

Before Lian Xiao made any movement, Xu Tao who was beside him snatched Qin Yuanmu's report card first.

"Brother, you still dare to take the school exam? Are you looking for excitement? Let me see how many points...fuck it is over [-]?!" Xu Tao's joking expression slowly froze on his face.

There are more than 20 grades in the cram school, just as rare as a top scorer in the college entrance examination [-] years ago in a poor mountain valley. Most people started to circulate this report card, probably to take a breath of European gas.

After passing it around, the report card finally came back to Xu Tao. He still had a shocked expression on his face: "Brother, you put me under a lot of pressure. Is it because the exam questions at our school are too easy? That’s right, otherwise how could you get such a high score in the exam.”

If the students in No. [-] middle school heard that [-] points can be regarded as a high score, I am afraid that all of them will apply for the real Oxford University.

Qin Yuanmu took back the report card from him, and stuffed it in the drawer casually: "Xu Tao, you also listen a little bit in class, maybe you can break through [-] points next time."

"I never dreamed," Xu Tao gritted his teeth and looked at Qin Yuanmu, "One day I will be ridiculed by you in terms of grades!"

Qin Yuanmu asked with a smile: "Then you want me to continue to laugh at your painting level?"

"... Friends are exhausted!" Xu Tao shut himself up, feeling that he was left far behind by his old enemy.

It is true that there are not many days before the college entrance examination. Although the overall atmosphere in this class is still happy and peaceful, the pressure in everyone's heart is also increasing day by day.It may be that I was used to dawdling around before, even though my heart is full of urgency now, there are still a few people who can turn pressure into motivation, and most people still skip class and surf the Internet while worrying.

Time passed day by day, when the cram school started the second wave of review, Lian Xiao finally ushered in the day of the official Chinese food competition.

In the past two days, under the leadership of Teacher Yang, Lian Xiao also watched several other competitions. The scene was very lively, and there were many masters among them.Although they are all first-year students in various technical schools, their talent and sweat are fully displayed on the field.In yesterday's carving competition, the dragon carved by a student with a big radish was like a work of art, even the examiner felt inferior, so Lian Xiao was even more nervous, who knows if any animals will be born in today's competition .

Lian Xiao changed into his school uniform today, which is considered to be playing for the school. He stood among a pile of gas tanks with other students participating in the competition, waiting for the examiner to verify his identity.

For chefs, the control of the heat is also a very important hurdle, so the competition did not use a more advanced induction cooker, but chose a bulky gas tank.So much so that the entire competition venue looked like a night market stall.

Lian Xiao looked around nervously, and after seeing the health experts among the teachers in the crowd, he felt a little more relaxed.Lian Xiao cheered secretly, it's nothing, just come to see the world!Think about Qin Yuanmu!

Thinking of Qin Yuanmu, Lian Xiao was not nervous at all, but his heart was full of shrinking feelings.He regretted making that bet with Qin Yuanmu a bit, he was quite handsome when he said it, but now Lian Xiao is scared.What if Qin Yuanmu asked him to fulfill his promise if he didn't get the prize?Besides, he still owes the bet money from the previous bet, so who can stand this two-pronged approach...

Because the expression was too guilty, the teacher in charge of verifying his identity read Lian Xiao's certificate several times before proceeding with suspicion.

When the judges announced that they were preparing for the competition, Lian Xiao's heart was numb from his fright.Hehe, isn't it just being played hooligan, Lian Xiao has long been used to it.

When the whistle of the game sounded and the 420-second countdown began on the big screen ahead, the students immediately took action.

Potatoes and pots have been cleaned long ago, and the students can just do the cleaning.Once in the state, Lian Xiao put all the messy things in his mind behind him, picked up some cold potatoes, and Lian Xiao started to spin and peel them familiarly.

Lian Xiao was not in the mood to watch others, but Teacher Yang who was nearby had time.After all, they are only first-year students, and most people's techniques are still very unfamiliar. After watching other students slowly peel their skins in the most stupid way, Teacher Yang feels that Lian Xiao is more likely to win the prize.

The practice these days is still useful. After peeling the skin, Lian Xiao looked at the crumbs on the table and quickly weighed it. After confirming that the weight would not exceed the limit, he quickly cut off a small corner on both sides of the potato and discarded it, which is convenient for cutting out. The shredded potatoes are uniform in size.

The game time is very short, and every second must be raced. Lian Xiao turned on the fire and started heating the oil before starting to shred, saving time every second.

When Lian Xiao started shredding, the knife made a crisp and pleasant sound on the chopping board, and the speed was extremely fast. The shredded potatoes were also very beautiful, just like those born by a mother.

The examiner who was patrolling saw Lian Xiao's movements, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the end, it is not just the taste, but the whole process will be recorded by the camera. If candidates have any objections, they can apply for replay.After cutting, Lian Xiao placed the shredded raw potatoes on the plate according to the rules, leaving observation time for the replay.After a few seconds, the hot oil in the pot began to crackle, and Lian Xiao poured the potato shreds from the plate into the pot.

White smoke with the fragrance of the ingredients came out from the pot, and when Lian Xiao started to stir fry proficiently, the sound of ingredients entering the pot came from nearby.At least in terms of speed, Lian Xiao is better than most people.

In addition to the necessities, each candidate's table is also densely packed with seasonings, which are basically available on the market. There is no requirement for taste in the competition, and candidates can develop their own styles.But most people will not go to death, basically what can be used are those mentioned in the textbook.

After the color of the shredded potatoes became darker, Lian Xiao patted a few cloves of garlic with a knife, and slapped them so hard that they almost turned into garlic paste.In fact, this habit is also thanks to Qin Yuanmu.

Qin Yuanmu is not a picky eater, but his taste is very tricky. He will not refuse if he is not willing to eat it, but he will not speak well to Lian Xiao if he eats it.After a long period of hard work, Lian Xiao finally summed up a series of Qin Yuanmu's taboos, including onions, ginger, and garlic.Most people don't like these condiments very much, but the dishes will definitely not taste good without these things. Lian Xiao found a way after thinking hard, that is to pat the garlic into garlic paste, so Qin Yuanmu can't find faults if he can't see it.

Lian Xiao felt that Qin Yuanmu was just a cheap person...

Lian Xiao laughed while patting the garlic, and then threw the minced garlic corpses into the pot and continued to stir fry.When it comes out of the pan, cut two pieces of green onions and throw them in, and a potato shreds that looks good is out of the pan.

At this time, there was less than 1 minute before the end of the game, and Lian Xiao raised his hand to indicate that he had finished.

Here is a word about the competition. The reason why it is divided into so many events is also for the consideration of the actual situation.After all, the number of judges should not be too many, otherwise each has its own taste, and in case of arguing, the dishes of the candidates behind will be cold, so they are divided into many very detailed items. In this way, although there are many contestants, but The number of people assigned to each project is greatly reduced, which is convenient for evaluation.This is especially true for hot dishes, where it is almost a race against time to taste and score, so if it is stipulated that it is completed in advance, the judges can directly taste and score.

Seeing Lian Xiao raising his hand, Teacher Yang nodded in satisfaction. In terms of taste, I am afraid that most of the students are of the same level. In this way, whoever finishes first will take advantage. Not only will the judges be provided with the freshest and most perfect, And it can impress the judges.

The examiner who was satisfied with Lian Xiao's knife work walked over slowly, took a mouthful of brightly colored potato shreds with his chopsticks, and tasted it lightly.

Lian Xiao's eyes were full of anticipation and nervousness, and he looked straight at the judges.

The judges looked at Lian Xiao's innocent eyes that were so innocent that they couldn't help but hold back a smile, so they deliberately wanted to tease him, put down their chopsticks and left without saying anything.Lian Xiao could only see what he was drawing on the record sheet, and he didn't know what the exact score was. He stood there in a daze, and the rest of the examiners also gathered around and began to try the food.

Not long after, many candidates nervously ended the competition and began to raise their hands.Until the end of the competition, those candidates who hadn't completed it were directly eliminated, and Hanhen lost the qualification for the award.

In this way, there are really not many candidates left, and the few judges can taste it slowly and boldly without fear of the food getting cold.

Although people have their own tastes, most of the time the opinions on whether it is good or not can be unified, and if there is a situation where the judges disagree, they can also compare the knife skills, heat, presentation, etc., so it can be regarded as fair and just.

After all the judges finished tasting, they got together and started whispering. The examinees stood beside their gas tanks like prisoners waiting to be sentenced, each of them feeling very upset.

The results of the competition were announced on the spot. Although it lacked a sense of ceremony, since the contestants were all students, there was no need to make it too utilitarian.

Teacher Yang is also a little nervous off the court. Although he is still very confident in Lian Xiao, who can guarantee the game?He couldn't help but unscrew his water glass, and took a sip of the health-preserving tea, which was extremely unhealthy.

Excluding the students who were directly eliminated, a total of more than 20 people participated in the assessment. Lian Xiao didn't know whether his level was lower or higher than the others, so he rubbed the corners of his school uniform nervously.

With great difficulty, the judges reached a consensus, and their representatives picked up the record sheet drawn as ghostly symbols and began to read: "Candidates, you have been waiting for a long time. After careful consideration and discussion by the judges, the culinary skills of this year's students in the whole province are now listed. The list of winners of the Chinese food competition in the competition is announced as follows. The first is the third prize..."

The judges read out three test numbers, and some of the students whose names were called were excited and some were disappointed, but overall they were very satisfied.The surrounding teachers and other candidates cheered and applauded, and the award-winning students smiled shyly at their teachers.

The third prize does not have Lian Xiao's test number, but he doesn't care, anyway, what he asks of himself is the second prize, otherwise Qin Yuanmu will not let him go easily...

"Next is the second prize..." The judges took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly, "No. 50 and No. 27."

The cheers and applause all around became louder and louder, but there was still no Lian Xiao.

Lian Xiao felt stunned for a while, did he fail to get the ranking?Although he had already made sufficient psychological preparations, the reality still hit him hard.Lian Xiao didn't have any fantasies that he could win the first prize. If he didn't get the second prize, it proved that he was dismissed. He subconsciously picked the chopping board in front of him with his fingernails. He didn't even dare to look at Teacher Yang's expression. He wanted to find a Drill into the seam.

"The last is the first prize of this competition, which is the No.1...No.12 of the Chinese food competition!"

The applause all around was a bit unreal. Lian Xiao even glanced at the examination number on his chest several times, and he was sure that it was NO.12.What's the situation, you are the first?

Lian Xiao was still in a daze, when Teacher Yang suddenly rushed over, slapped Lian Xiao on the back several times, his face was full of excitement: "Good boy, you can!"

Only then did Lian Xiao be sure that he was really the first prize.He almost fainted from the belated joy, wishing to appear beside Qin Yuanmu in the next second and tell him the good news.
