Two days later, Nie Ling'er got up early and washed up.

Today is the day to register for the birthday banquet, and it is also the first time Nie Ling'er has participated in the competition in a few months since she came to Dazhao. Although she is confident, she is still a little excited.

The same was true in the previous life. The master often said that she was a competition-type chef, and she would stimulate her stronger strength whenever she arrived on the court. Nie Ling'er herself also likes to compete with different chefs. For her, the competition is more like

A model of absorbing new things, she participated in domestic and foreign competitions in her previous life, and she really benefited a lot.

After breakfast, Nie Ling'er was about to set off.

"Ling'er, do we really need to go?"

In front of the tent on the first floor of the inn, Nie Hui looked at Nie Ling'er and spoke.

Nie Kun, who was standing beside him, also said, "Yes, such an important thing, we should cheer you up, at least there is a show."

Hearing this, Nie Ling'er looked at the two of them and shook her head with a smile: "No need, just have Brother Fan accompany me. You two stay in the inn and wait for us to come back."

"It's only a few hours left, and you can't help if you go there. And tomorrow is the day for the exam. The weather is getting hotter. If you still need to queue up if you sign up, you will be damaged by heatstroke. How can you do it?

Didn’t it be a big mistake?"

"Ling'er is right, just listen to her." Nie Fan nodded, thinking that Ling'er's words made sense.

Nie Hui thought for a while and had to say, "Okay, then come on, we'll wait for your good news."

Nie Kun narrowed his eyes and smiled: "That's right, when you successfully pass the registration, when the real competition is really in a few days, Brother Hui and I will cheer for you!"

Nie Ling'er curled her lips and smiled slightly, and looked at the two of them and nodded.

Just as I was about to go out, I heard some sounds suddenly coming from outside the inn, and it sounded like the voice of the young man who was welcoming guests in the store.

"Go and go, we are inns, a place where we open the door to do business, so how can the kitchen be borrowed?" The guy's voice was quite impatient, and it sounded like he was driving away some uninvited guests.

Outside the door, a thin man in a plain gray sweatshirt was half-waisted. He held a bamboo basket in his left hand, covering it with a gray cloth, and couldn't see what was inside.

But seeing his face begging, he couldn't help but begging the young man: "Just allow me for an hour, okay? Please be fine, just lend me the kitchen for an hour!"

The man looks about thirties and looks very ordinary, but he just speaks a dialect with some accents. Obviously he is not a native of Huaiyang.

Nie Ling'er came out of the inn. When the gang saw Nie Ling'er, he waved his hand irritated, rushed the person who was pestering him to the side, turned around and changed his smile and ran to Nie Ling'er.

"Customer, you've got a carriage out of your way." The guy looked at Nie Ling'er with a passionate smile on his face.

Nie Ling'er nodded and thanked her, and couldn't help but look at the man more. She heard what she said just now. This person came to borrow the kitchen.

Every year during the birthday banquet, many chefs will pour into Huaiyang from all over the place. On the registration day, all applicants need to make a dish, and this dish must be made immediately. If a chef from another place is

If you are not familiar with the place, you will be trapped in this hurdle before signing up, that is, there is no kitchen available!

Later, some businesses in Huaiyangdu discovered business opportunities, especially some restaurants and restaurants. Every few days, they would rent out the kitchens in their stores, and the prices were charged on time, ranging from 100 cents to 100 cents per hour.

It even provides commonly used seasonings, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, etc.

Of course, the kitchen rented out can only be in the morning before lunch and afternoon after lunch. This will not affect your business, and you can also earn some money by renting out when the kitchen is discontinued.

Until recent years, the people of Huaiyang have also joined in. If a chef from other places needs to use the kitchen, he can knock on the door of a commoner's house at will. After explaining his purpose, he can give him enough silver and borrow the kitchen of the commoner.

After thinking about it, Nie Ling'er guessed that the man should have been here to participate in the birthday party competition. He thought he was short of money and had no money to pay the rent for the kitchen.

Perhaps it was the mutual appreciation between the chefs, and this man came from another place. If he could not participate in the competition because he did not have a kitchen, he would definitely regret it.

"Is this uncle here to participate in the birthday banquet competition?" Nie Ling'er called out.

Xu Zhien nodded quickly when he heard this. Although the girl in front of him was as simple as she was wearing, the boys around her were all wearing good satin and a luxurious carriage. I think they must be girls from rich families.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhien hurriedly came forward and said to Nie Ling'er: "Miss, I'm using all my silver to buy ingredients. I'm really desperate. Please help me plead with you, let the store borrow the kitchen.

I'll use one hour, one hour is enough!"

Seeing that he looked anxious, he didn't look like he was lying.

And he said that silver was used to buy ingredients, which made Nie Linger feel curious.

His eyes fell on the bamboo basket in his hand, and then he noticed that the bottom of the bamboo basket was dripping water from time to time.

"Can I take a look at the things in the uncle's basket?" Nie Ling'er spoke in a gentle tone.

Xu Zhien nodded quickly, then carefully put the basket on the ground, and gently uncovered the layer of cloth on it.

I saw that there was a small porcelain jar in the basket, which contained four palm-sized live fish. The live fish was pitch black and plump, and although it was small, it looked particularly strong.

Nie Ling'er couldn't help but be slightly stunned. The fish looked fresh, she had never seen it before.

Xu Zhien also spoke: "Girl, this is a black-scaled fish."

"Black scaled fish?" Nie Ling'er said in surprise. It turned out that it was a fish she had never seen before, because it was the first time she heard of this name.

Xu Zhien nodded, and his tone was different when he spoke again. He felt a little proud: "Miss, have you seen it before? This fish is a rare variety, very precious, the meat is firm but particularly delicious, and they are born in Luo.

It is extremely difficult to capture in the turbulent rivers of the mountains."

Nie Ling'er raised her eyebrows clearly when she heard this. This black-scaled fish should be unique to Dazhao, or it was extinct in later generations, so she had never seen it.

Now that she heard Xu Zhien say this, she couldn't help but become interested.

"Uncle spent all the silver to buy this fish?" Nie Ling'er asked.

Xu Zhien nodded helplessly and said, "I originally wanted to buy two, but there are only these four fish sellers. I said I had to buy them all. If such rare ingredients can be made into dishes, they must be the best delicious.

, As soon as I gritted my teeth, I took out all the six taels of silver left on my body!"
