Xia Yan and Liu Maoxing parted ways at the Guangzhou City Gate. He returned to the snack street where the "Yangquan Restaurant" was located. However, Xia Yan did not return to any hotel, but actually returned to the private residence of the local chef association's elder.

As for the reason for living in the residence, it is related to Yan Xian’s letter of recommendation.

Of course, Yan Xian definitely did not "recommended" Xia Yan with his own name.

Because it was a secret letter from the wax seal, Xia Yan couldn't take a closer look at which region he borrowed the title of a boss. In short, it would be an incredible identity to let the boss of the Guangzhou Chef Association treat him so politely.

During these days of staying in, Xia Yan was still nervous at first, afraid of being in trouble. As a result, the day before yesterday, the elder came to the door and said that the inspection had been completed and he could participate in this "Cook Examination".

Xia Yan had to admire the heroes in the dark cuisine industry of Liangshanbo, led by Yan Xian, who were so good at it!

He had just returned from the venue on the outskirts of the city.

Not long after, the owner of the mansion knocked on the door and came in.

This is an old man with white hair and beard, and he has a granddaughter named Qiulan.

In fact.

A while ago, Liu Maoxing made a lot of noise in this mansion.

He used the recipe for "Insect Porridge" to cure Qiulan's anorexia.

Later, he used "Phoenix Crystal" to make the owner of this mansion have nothing to say.

"The exam questions for this session are 'noodles' and 'National Masters'." The old man said as he entered the door, "The mansion has the best refined flour. This is an indispensable basic material for dishes with 'noodles' theme. In addition, you can tell me what else you need. I'll ask you to go out to buy and buy."

The first round of exams was indeed a model of bringing your own dry food, including ingredients and kitchen utensils.

The second round is different. It is in a closed arena, and you can't take anything behind your search, and you can take the exam cleanly.

Having gotten used to the courtesy received by a letter of recommendation, Xia Yan did not refuse the chef's boss's kindness. He calmly prepared a list of ingredients and handed it out:

"That's all the above."

The head coach of the chef association surnamed Guan and the general manager are at least a long time-honored boss in this food industry. They have great eyesight. When they get this list of ingredients, they immediately understand something.

"You've got a draft so soon?" Elder Guan couldn't help but be surprised.

How long has it been!

It took less than half an hour to come back from the suburbs!

Moreover, this is a bedroom, not a kitchen. After returning, the young man had not touched the kitchen counter and was not exposed to the spring water. Has he determined the framework of the recipe just by relying on imagination and deduction on the road?

Seeing that Xia Yan was not dragging on the mud, he gently tapped his chin, with a plain expression on his face.

Elder Guan took the list of ingredients and held it in for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence:

"Besides, be cautious. After all, it is the four-year imperial examination in the food industry. After going through it, it is equivalent to a carp leaping over the dragon gate. You probably know what the name of [Special] means to a chef. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a Jinshi officer in the food industry."

After hearing this, Xia Yan nodded again.

However, the nodding this time is more obvious.

Seeing this, Elder Guan was very pleased. He was afraid that the young people would be arrogant and would not listen to the old people's advice.

When he saw Xia Yan take the list back, he was very cautious. He thought for a while before adding a few lines of material and writing them in, and noting each ten copies.

"this……"

Seeing the amount of Xia Yan's notes on the list, Elder Guan was shocked again, and more so, he was confused and confused.

Even if he doesn't mention it.

When the servants in the mansion go to buy and buy, they will also move a large number of "discount guests" who are temporarily living, practice spending for a long time.

At this time, Elder Guan heard the young man put down his pen and said to himself:

"I originally planned to prepare only one copy and get it directly to the examination venue in a few days."

"Okay, take a few more pieces of materials to practice, and then improve your proficiency. If you sweat more before the competition, you won't suffer any loss..."

So Elder Guan didn't know what to say, and the encouragement sentence he originally planned to prepare was still in the womb.

He took the revised list and exited the quiet house with a strange look on his face.

In the back house of Guanfu.

Seeing the manager in the mansion leave with the list, Elder Guan sighed:

"Has the times really changed?"

"I can't understand young people nowadays!"

In the pavilion in the yard, Guan Qiulan was feeding carp in the pond. When she heard his grandfather sighing on the other side, she was extremely surprised.

There is a candidate in the mansion who is very cared for by his grandfather.

These days, Guan Qiulan also met him occasionally several times.

Guan Qiulan was not convinced by her grandfather's private assertion that this candidate who was entrusted by her old friends and came from afar would definitely shine in this special exam. After all, not only are the local talents in Guangdong, but also elites from other regions gathered.

Thinking of the 'witch' Zhilin.

Han Wu from Dongjiang Restaurant.

Shan Xiong, the sous chef of the judge Lin Restaurant.

And the genius Lan Feihong, who is well-known for his thunderous reputation!

These names one by one.

Guan Qiulan thought to herself:

"I'm afraid that the cooking foundation is very close to the [Wushuang] in the test questions of the 'National Staff Wushuang', so that we can stand out among this group of people!"

In separate courtyard and room.

Xia Yan was communicating with the system and asked seriously:

"If I go and pass the two sets of cooking rating tests in Light and Darkness, can I get two rewards, ah?"

"You can choose two of them in the task reward list, and you cannot receive them repeatedly!"

After receiving a clear reply, Xia Yan wiped the saliva that did not exist at the corner of his mouth.

Damn, this vote.

Did it! Big job!

...

A few days later.

Early in the morning, the outskirts of Guangzhou City.

At the city tower of the venue, a thick city gate slowly opened. The candidates who attended the meeting carried bags and kitchen utensils. Some even brought their own special pots, and the black iron pot was carried behind them.

Xia Yan and Liu Maoxing were standing side by side and flocked in with the candidates.

Soon, the huge venue was already in full swing. More than 200 kitchen counters and stoves were heard, or the "washing" sound of grease was heard, or some candidates took a rolling pin, held their breath, sweated on their foreheads, and were carefully making dough.

"clang!"

Sudden.

A golden gong sounded.

The official who announced the exam a few days ago appeared again with a row of guards:

"The exam time shall be subject to the pillar on the platform!"

"When it's noon, the sun is in the sky, and the shadow of the pillar is the shortest, which is when the exam is over and the grading begins!"

As he said that, the official raised one palm and stretched out his five fingers.

"In this special assessment, this first round of elimination and screening, only 5 clearance quotas will be obtained!"

"You guys should take care of yourself!"

Amid the buzzing discussions of the candidates, the official who served as the examiner of the first round finished speaking and planned to sit in the chair and wait for the time to pass.

A loud and confident voice spread throughout the venue:

"Sir, come here"
Chapter completed!
