Chapter 104 Shen Qingyue is unfathomable
Before the barbecue festival, all the villages were mobilized, and Shen Qingyue was busy all the time.
In the steel plant's canteen, a team similar to a jury was formed, whose members came from the chefs of canteens in various state-owned factories.
Chef Li is in charge of the steel plant, and there is another seat for the special window attendant Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingyue got stuck at the barbecue festival command center.
The others present waited for about four or five minutes.
The steel mill was the lead organizer of the barbecue festival, and no one could say anything unless Chef Li gave the nod.
There was a slight commotion among the judges. They had heard before that the steel plant's kitchen was overshadowed by the special window.
Now that we've met, we realize that the rumors were actually a bit conservative. It wouldn't even begin if Shen Qingyue hadn't shown up! The ceremony was incredibly grand.
One of the chefs present said, "Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but how could you be caught by a little girl?"
Chef Li was unmoved and said, "He is very capable. Malatang, barbecue and other dishes are all cooked from here." Even his boxed lunches are unique.
The other chefs present who didn't say anything were a little surprised.
Although the man just now was finding fault, Chef Li was not angry at all.
Could it be that their relationship isn't that bad?
While everyone was in shock, Shen Qingyue came hurriedly and apologized as soon as she came in: "Sorry, I'm late."
When everyone saw Shen Qingyue coming, they knew the judges were finally gathered and started quickly.
This time, the barbecue festival was held for the first time, and even the snack stalls had to be registered and evaluated.
Not only the small vendors found it new, but even the judges who were serving as judges for the first time also found it new.
The profession of chef is somewhat patriarchal.
Shen Qingyue was the only woman on the judging panel, and she was young and beautiful. Everyone couldn't help but want to know her opinion. Some even went so far as to specifically try to catch her in the act.
Who would have thought that after the selection, Shen Qingyue was so impressive.
Not only can they point out the pros and cons, but they can also tell you how to improve things. They can even ask you to switch operations on crowded projects so you don't run in vain.
Soon, those who were queuing outside in the scorching sun hurriedly asked the people who had just entered for the evaluation and assessment: "How is it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of pairs of eyes looked over.
"Oh, Miss Shen is amazing. I think it would be better to add some sweet and sour side dishes to my fried stinky tofu. This way it will be less greasy and more refreshing."
I even copied a recipe for sweet and sour side dishes for him, and he couldn't wait to go back and try it out.
When many people heard this, they showed envy: "So good?"
It is said that people in the same industry are enemies. If someone has some secret recipe, they would like to keep it hidden from others.
When it comes to cooking, I basically rely on my own thinking.
It's not easy to find someone so talented to give you a few words. I'm so lucky to have such luck today.
Soon, everyone passing by asked, "How is it? Is it infield or outfield?"
"Infield."
There was actually bursts of applause from outside the venue.
The colleagues waiting in line outside couldn't help but say, "Awesome, brothers! Thirty people just went in, and only five have qualified for the inner field."
Although I don’t know what he sells, it must be extraordinary for him to be able to enter the inner field.
Some introverted snack stall owners were actually a little flattered.
He makes cold cakes and donkey rolls, which are said to be the first desserts. He may have taken advantage of the opportunity to make a name for himself by trying something different from other cold and hot dishes.
But he didn't tell anyone about this.
Hurry over and divide the places.
There were only eighteen stalls in the inner area. Once they were full, they were gone, and there were still thirty or forty people queuing behind them.
Among those who were queuing there, Mu Shiba was one of the last few to go to the street to register when he received the news.
Although I was lucky enough to catch the tail end of the last bus, I was still extremely nervous.
He had seen the infield and outfield before he came.
The distance is far, so it’s better to go infield.
And the competitive pressure is almost three to one.
Those who can enter the inner field are not ordinary people.
Mu Shiba was ranked next. Seeing that the rows in the inner field had all been assigned number 16, his throat was so anxious that it was almost smoking.
Finally his name was called. He brought his own snails and went in to make stir-fried snails for everyone.
He made a lot of money at the market with this skill. He was quite confident, but who knew that everyone looked expressionless after eating it. This made him feel uneasy.
Mu Shiba placed all his hopes on Shen Qingyue. Even if this deal didn't work out, it wouldn't be in vain if he could give him some advice!
Maybe it was because the expectation in his eyes was too obvious, but Shen Qingyue actually opened her mouth and asked, "Are you from the county or the village?"
Mu Shibadao: "In the county, from this local village."
Shen Qingyue asked: "Do you have a refrigerator or freezer at home?"
Mu Shiba was stunned for a moment, then said yes.
Actually, he didn't have it at home, but his childhood friend's family did, but he wanted to know what Shen Qingyue said.
Shen Qingyue said: "The chef before you also made fried snails. Yours tastes good, but it's still a little worse than the previous chef!"
Chef Li nodded beside him.
Everyone present knew the man who was stir-frying snails in front of Mu Shiba.
He was a serious chef. He'd worked in a state-owned restaurant, and had been cooking for over thirty years. Later, he struck out on his own, and his grasp of flavor was even better than his.
Shen Qingyue's comments were spot on. After interviewing over fifty chefs, the judges were all convinced.
As soon as Shen Qingyue opened her mouth, everyone looked in her direction.
I wonder what she would say in this situation.
Shen Qingyue said: "If you want to make fried snails, you can only take the outer field card. Now the inner field is short of a dessert stall. It is best to have an iced dessert stall. You can choose whether you want to make a dessert stall or stir-fried snails."
Shen Qingyue recorded what happened to the fifty or so people just now.
There is no shortage of noodles, hot dishes, cold dishes, snacks and desserts inside, but how can there be no sweet soup in such a hot place?
Shen Qingyue doesn't recommend it to everyone.
I mentioned this because I saw that Mu Shiba was dressed smartly and his eyes were lively.
Mu Shiba said, "I want to go into the inner field." As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Shiba's heart started pounding. He had never thought that he would say this before coming in!
When people take risks, they inevitably feel nervous.
Mu Shiba was quite a man of courage. Although he was nervous, he still finished what he said: "I don't know how to make sugar water."
Shen Qingyue directly took out a note from her hand: "It says here the recipe for two mung bean smoothies and iced milk and white fungus soup!"
Everyone knows how to make these two things, but Shen Qingyue gave a recipe for setting up a stall. It has weight ratios. It's easier than trying to guess what to put in.
Mu Shiba was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Shen Qingyue: "On the day of the barbecue festival, I will treat the judges present to smoothies."
There was laughter from the judges' panel.
Someone else said, "He's just climbing up the pole." But they all like this clever young man.
But what surprised the judges even more was Shen Qingyue, who had given out more than ten copies of this recipe.
At the beginning, everyone just thought she was generous, but later on, everyone fell silent, thinking she was unfathomable!
No wonder Chef Li waited for her to come before starting over. To be fair, they were reluctant to give away their accumulated recipes like this.
Shen Qingyue has given out so much, so how many things does she have to know?
The chef community also admires the strong, and after the selection process, they all have great respect for Shen Qingyue.
When Mu Shiba went out, there were still four or five people left outside who asked, "How is it?" Including those who had taken the items from the outer field and had not left before, they also came over.
Mu Shiba raised the inner field card in his hand: "Inner field? And Miss Shen also gave me two sweet soup recipes."
"Ah?" Gasps rose and fell, and then they looked at him sourly: "You are too lucky, thanks to Shen Qingyue's guidance."
Mu Shiba smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Okay, I won't say anymore." Whether renting or borrowing, the most important thing is to get the refrigerator at his childhood friend's house.
