Nie Ling'er nodded in a clear way when she heard this.

No wonder after the registration that day, Master Xu left with Master Yao. I think it has been discussed.

Moreover, Master Xu passed the registration for the birthday party in one fell swoop. This matter alone made it not difficult for him to find a profitable life in the restaurants in Huaiyang.

There was [Black Scale Fish Soup] before, and [Oil-burned River Shrimp] now. Nie Ling'er couldn't help but look at Xu Zhien and praised: "It seems that Master Xu is the best at aquatic ingredients. Today, this dish is very delicious."

/p>

Xu Zhien nodded with a smile: "I grew up in a village by the river. I am indeed more skilled in cooking fish and shrimps. It's good if Miss Ling'er likes it. The kitchen is busy, so I won't keep it anymore. You guys are slow.

Eat."

When Xu Zhien left, Nie Ling'er raised her eyebrows. This person felt like a monk who swept the floor. He thought his reputation was unknown, but in fact he was hidden. Just the seasoning of the oily juice was no longer inferior.

Master Yao's technique is here.

Unexpectedly, my unintentional act accidentally helped such a hermit master.

"Ling'er, Master Xu will be your opponent in a few days." Nie Fan said.

After all, there is still one game. If Nie Ling'er hadn't extended a helping hand to Xu Zhien, he might have stopped outside of registration, but he helped an opponent out.

But Nie Ling'er didn't care much. She always liked the competition in cooking. The competition is the competition. To do all her strength is the greatest respect for her opponent. She was too excited to compete with a chef like Master Xu with superb skills.

Where.

"Everyone depends on their ability." At the end, Nie Ling'er smiled.

That night, Nie Ling'er held the lights until the second half of the night and personally prepared the recipe for two and five dishes.

Two cold dishes, one meat and one vegetable are [salty water foie gras] and [honey juice glutinous rice lotus root].

Two hot dishes, one meat and one vegetable are [steamed Wuchang Fish] and [Mapo Tofu].

The last soup is [Pigeon swallows the swallow].

The five dishes, except that the name of [Mapo Tofu] is similar to the existing [Spicy Stir-fried Tofu] in Dazhao, the other four dishes are dishes that Dazhao does not have, so that after Yao Tianhe and Li Zhiqiu got the menu, they were all

The eyes are stunned and unclear.

I think it was Miss Nie Ling'er's own recipe again. The two of them were confused, but they had already believed Nie Ling'er unconditionally. As her two sous chefs, just support them with all their strength.

So in the next few days, Nie Ling'er, Yao Tianhe, Li Zhiqiu and Gou Zhuzi spent most of their time in the kitchen of Yao Tianhe's residence, constantly testing dishes, improving, and cultivating tacit understanding!

Four days later—

Yao Tianhe had a table in the yard, and everyone gathered together.

"Tomorrow is the second test. In this second test, there are a total of twelve chefs. There are more people than usual, so the competition is even more intense." Yao Tianhe said.

Li Zhiqiu was full of confidence and smiled: "I have confidence in our dishes. They are all those that the diners have never eaten before. They will definitely amazed them once again!"

Nie Ling'er's menu is not arranged randomly, but has her own layout. Since it is five dishes, it is a table, so it naturally needs to be comprehensive.

It’s a big taboo to be afraid that some chefs are just concerned about showing their skills, but forgetting the balance between dishes!

"I have never seen other people and don't know how good they are. Master Xu should not underestimate them." Nie Ling'er spoke slowly and said what she thought: "Although I have only eaten two of his dishes, it's enough to see it.

His skills and his ability to cook aquatic ingredients are one of the top chefs I have seen!"

Xu Zhien has been a chef in Huajianlou for several days, and the people who can see his skills most intuitively are Yao Tianhe, Li Zhiqiu and Gou Zhuzi.

At that moment, Li Zhiqiu nodded slowly: "Yes, this Master Xu is indeed very powerful. He is now only making three signature dishes in Huajianlou, all of which are related to fish and shrimp, and has received unanimous praise. Some people have already been doing this in recent days.

Come here with your reputation."

Gou Zhuzi said: "The main thing is that everyone knows that he is the first person to be qualified for the second birthday banquet this year. He must be very curious and looking forward to his craftsmanship."

Yao Tianhe followed and said, "He had discussed with our boss, but he only worked until today, that is, the day before the second test began. But the boss saw that he brought customers to the store and had already moved to invite him.

I left my thoughts. Yesterday my boss asked me to find out about his words."

"I thought the second test would start soon, and I couldn't bear to distract Master Xu, so I planned to ask him after the second test ended tomorrow."

This is expected. With Xu Zhien's skills, no restaurant will miss such a chef.

However, Nie Ling'er was still very rational and thought for a moment: "He is good at cooking aquatic products, but tomorrow's dishes have fixed propositions. Two cold dishes and two hot dishes require one meat and one vegetable. His specialty is actually

If you don’t make much of your performance, if you make fish and shrimp, the entire mat will lose balance.”

"It depends on how much skill he can play when leaving his comfortable area and making other ingredients."

Several people nodded after hearing this, obviously agreeing with Nie Ling'er's words. If Xu Zhien was as good at cooking other ingredients as cooking aquatic products, it would be a real threat.

Nie Ling'er stood up and raised her glass, looked at the people and smiled faintly: "Come on, I wish us success in the second test tomorrow!"

When everyone heard this, they stood up and clinked their glasses, and then happily drank the wine in the glass.

The next day.

The competition venue for the second test is on a huge open space in Huaiyang City. In the past, this place was the place where artists such as juggling classes performed their skills. Only today will they specially set aside for cooking competitions.

Twelve stoves, pots, pans and other common equipment built overnight are also available. All the chefs who participated in the second test only need to bring their own ingredients.

This birthday banquet competition has been held for many years, and it has become a custom in Huaiyang City, even a festival.

Early on, there were those who wanted to watch the game to seize the best position. There were twelve chefs who advanced to the second exam this year. I think the competition must be more intense than in previous years.

Nie Ling'er went to Yao Tianhe's residence with the carriage to pick up people in the morning. The few of them had prepared the ingredients for a long time.

"But you have all the ingredients clearly?"

Before leaving, Nie Ling'er made a statement to confirm again.

Yao Tianhe smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Ling'er, I have checked it according to the list three times, and it will not fall into the same place!"

Upon hearing this, Nie Ling'er nodded with satisfaction and asked Nie Fan to drive: "Let's go!"
Chapter completed!
