Chapter 61: Finalists
Xu Qiao thought for a while: "Ninety minutes are enough. We only need chicken soup, but we don't eat chicken. As long as the soup tastes good enough."
She has spent all the process in her mind many times, so she is not worried about time.
Zhou Yansheng admires the calmness on Xu Qiao very much, and such an opponent is also the most terrifying.
She does not fight or rob, does not hurry or is impatient. The wind and clouds are light, as if everything is under control.
Actually, she was not sure!
Zhou Yansheng appeared as Xu Qiao's assistant, and it caused a small sensation just as Xu Qiao thought.
Even the female host couldn't help but joke: "You two are the handsome men and beautiful women in this food competition." She was even more curious about their relationship.
It's said they are brothers and sisters, but they don't look like each other at all.
If it is a couple, the two are obviously very alienated, and there is no intimacy between lovers at all.
Xu Qiao just smiled and felt relieved. Fortunately, she was not popular now, so she and Zhou Yansheng would have to be tied up as lovers.
Zhou Yansheng's eyes were always smiling, and the lights reflected in his eyes, as if there were tiny stars. He would feel like he was shining when he looked directly at him.
Even the female host was embarrassed to look at him.
Speaking to Zhou Yansheng, his tone became softer: "Zhou Yansheng, how many years have you been in this industry? How could Xu Qiao be an assistant?"
Zhou Yansheng bent down slightly, turned his head to look at Xu Qiao, his eyes as if they were shining, and he squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's been six years, because Teacher Xu's craftsmanship is much better than mine. I can learn a lot with Teacher Xu."
Xu Qiao seemed to have not heard it, and lowered her head and carefully checked the ingredients in the freshener box, and then checked the liquefied gas tank near the stove.
Regarding fire safety, it has become her subconscious action.
The competition is 90 minutes, and two self-selected dishes and one prescribed dish are required.
This time, the dish is required to use beef tenderloin, pork tenderloin and chicken breast as the main ingredients. The contestants draw any lots and then name the dish: "xxx shredded pork". What they see is the contestants' knife skills, thickening, and quick reaction.
Xu Qiao has been very quiet. After drawing the lottery, she looked at the chicken breast. Then she put it aside and started preparing the ingredients.
At the referee's order, Xu Qiao calmly began to process the chicken, remove her head and feet, and immerse her in the rice washing water.
Zhou Yansheng helped clean the vegetables and prepare the ingredients.
The two of them never communicated, but they cooperated with each other in an extremely tacit understanding.
The judges and audiences on the off-site could not help but turn their eyes to these two people, which was inexplicably pleasing to the eyes.
The chrysanthemums and silver buds willows are a dish that is fast and stir-fried. After the pot, it will not destroy the fragrance of the chrysanthemums, and it will be slightly sweet when you get back.
The yellow flowers are soaked in spring water. After the chicken soup is ready, it is poured on fresh daylily.
Fresh daylily contains colchicine, so Xu Qiao blanched it in 60 degrees water in advance and soaked it in clean water for two hours. This keeps the tender green color of the daylily and removes toxins.
Xu Qiao was not in a hurry throughout the whole process and was calm and composed.
When the timer sounded, Xu Qiao was soaking yellow flowers on the spring water and sprinkling wolfberry.
The soaked wolfberry is bright red and falls on the slightly green yellow flowers, as if it is a cinnabar mole on the beauty's eyebrows.
The chicken soup is clear, and occasionally a few oil beads are scattered, which is a bit pleasing and cute.
Zhou Yansheng couldn't help but admire him when he watched from the side. This girl's psychological quality is really good! And she has made rapid progress in the past month.
Everything in the world is most afraid of the word "serious". Xu Qiao is the kind of person who is very serious!
The results of the semi-finals were announced on the spot. Xu Qiao and Zhou Yansheng were in the group and barely entered the finals with a slight advantage of 0:5!
Xu Qiao seemed not surprised at all about this result, and she took the final ticket from the judges very calmly.
After leaving the arena, Zhou Yansheng was very curious: "Girl, did you expect this result?"
Xu Qiao clenched her fists, her palms covered in sweat: "How could I be that powerful? I'm also very nervous."
Zhou Yansheng raised his eyebrows and smiled with peach blossom eyes, and his big hand reached out to Xu Qiao: "No matter what, congratulations!"
Xu Qiao smiled with a pursed lips, reached out to hold Zhou Yansheng's fingertips next time: "Thank you, you are not only a very excellent boss, but also a very qualified assistant."
Zhou Yansheng was not as happy as he was praised at all, and couldn't help but mutter: "I don't know who said it, my boss is not doing his job."
Xu Qiao bent her eyes: "You used to be."
Zhou Yansheng suggested that he would go to Gu Chengchuan to celebrate together, but he hadn't seen Gu Chengchuan for a while.
Xu Qiao definitely has no objection, and she also wants to share with Gu Chengchuan the good news about her being selected for the finals.
It was a very unexpected coincidence that Gu Chengchuan took people to the police.
It was a child who stuffed his fingers into the screw cap and couldn't retract them, so he called the fire alarm for help.
Xu Qiao felt relieved when she heard that it was not a dangerous task.
Jiang Zhengnan happened to come back with another team of people in training. He was very familiar with Zhou Yansheng and recognized Xu Qiao.
I got off the car very enthusiastically and invited Zhou Yansheng and Xu Qiao to come in and sit for a while.
"Squadron Gu should be back soon, you can wait a moment."
Zhou Yansheng didn't care. He looked at Xu Qiao's expectant look and nodded: "Success, let's go and wait a moment. Does Director Jiang have any good tea recently?"
Jiang Zhengnan was so amused and laughed: "Where is any good tea here?"
He brought Zhou Yansheng and Xu Qiao to the small conference room, busy making tea for the two of them, and his mother-in-law and mother were nagging: "We are just a fire alarm here, and the police have it every day. We also care about the little things about chicken skin and garlic. That's why we are so busy."
Zhou Yansheng is a good person, smiling like a spring breeze: "It is because of you that we can live so steadily."
Jiang Zhengnan obviously likes to hear such words: "Haha, you are right, there is nothing trivial. As long as the masses need us, that is our value."
Zhou Yansheng politely said: "Yes, you are the most caring guardians of our people in the era of peace."
Jiang Zhengnan sighed: "If we think like you, no matter how much we give, it will be worth it!"
Xu Qiao sat quietly on the side and listened to the hypocritical communication between the two.
I have to admire Zhou Yansheng as a talented person, saying things to others and saying things to ghosts!
But this Jiang Zhengnan made her feel even more unpleasant. It was a bit vague!
Jiang Zhengnan said about Niu Zhiwei again: "What a pity, what a pity! Big Niu is so awesome! The child is only three or four years old." As he said that, his eyes turned red.
Zhou Yansheng put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "We will not forget their efforts."
Xu Qiao: "..."
This scene was a bit serious, which made her trance reminded her of the scene after Gu Chengchuan saved her and died in her previous life.
