Chapter 484: When enemies come,
we will stop them; when water comes, we will block it with earth! Ever since I heard that Tong Xiayue would participate in a competition in a week, all the big and small things at home have been handed over to other people to deal with. I will never disturb her when I can avoid it!
Two days before the competition, many familiar faces came to Tong's Hotel. They were all regular customers of Tong. Hearing that the boss of Tong was going to participate in the competition, they all came here to eat and cheer for the boss!
Tong Xiayue expressed her gratitude one by one.
The day before the competition, Tong Xiayue was cooking in the back kitchen. Boss Kong brought Master Chen to Tong Xiayue: "Sister, you have the competition tomorrow, go back and rest early today, and leave this to Master Chen!"
Tong Xiayue was frying fish-flavored pork shreds, and the fragrance filled the whole kitchen!
"It's okay! You can't be a novice when cooking. I'll just treat it as practice!"
Master Chen snatched the spatula from her hand and said with a smile: "Just listen to Boss Kong, go back and have a rest. How come you are not nervous for such a big competition?"
Boss Kong also felt that Tong Xiayue was surprisingly calm. This kind of large-scale competition was the first time she had seen it in Beijing, and she had never participated in a competition of this scale!
Boss Kong heard some time ago that the chefs of other hotels were busy practicing in the back kitchen all day long!
Everyone was so nervous, but his sister, should we say that she was confident? Or should we say that she was open-minded?
Boss Kong dragged Tong Xiayue to a deserted place and whispered, "Sister, there's no one here either. Tell me honestly, do you not want to participate in this competition? Did I force you to join? It's okay. If you really don't want to participate, we won't go tomorrow!"
Tong Xiayue looked at Boss Kong with an extremely guilty expression and couldn't help laughing, "Why do you say that?"
Boss Kong hesitated and said, "I see that the chefs who signed up are practicing all day long. Although we don't know the topic of the first competition, we can always think of a safe dish. I see you I've been helping out in the kitchen all day recently, and I haven't practiced..."
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "You think I haven't practiced? Brother, you're wrong. Do you think I would be forced? I wouldn't have agreed if I was forced. Since I've agreed, I will definitely do my best! As for working in the kitchen recently, it is of course part of practice! Don't think too much! Don't worry, you should know that I will definitely bring honor to our hotel!"
Tong Xiayue's words seemed to have a magical power, which calmed down Boss Kong's worries in an instant!
Since Master Chen was here, Tong Xiayue didn't insist. She tidied up and went back to the courtyard!
Boss Kong was right, no matter what the question was, there should be a universal dish!
But Tong Xiayue, who came from the future, was not panicked at all. She had seen all kinds of dishes before. She was prepared to deal with any challenge!
The night before the competition, everyone was worried that Tong Xiayue would not be able to sleep because of nervousness...
Ye Lan walked to Tong Xiayue's door with a bowl of freshly cooked Tremella soup and knocked softly, but there was no sound in the room.
She gently opened the door to reveal a crack, and saw that she had fallen asleep...
Then she closed the door gently.
"This child is so generous. He's worried that she can't sleep well, so he makes her something to eat!"
Zhang Cuihua and Zhao Qian had the same feeling. They walked to the door of Tong Xiayue's room and saw Ye Lan was about to speak. Ye Lan made a gesture to silence her: "Hush, go to sleep." Zhang Cuihua and
Zhao Qian both found it incredible...
Their brother and sister-in-law really have a good attitude!
Since she went to bed early the night before, Tong Xiayue woke up early the next morning. Ye Lan saw that she looked good and smiled, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Tong Xiayue stretched lazily and smiled, "Yeah, don't we have a competition today? I went to bed early last night!"
Zhang Cuihua also got up and saw Tong Xiayue and smiled, "You went to bed early, we were worried that you would be nervous and couldn't sleep, hahaha."
Tong Xiayue said embarrassedly, "Hahaha, maybe I'm tired from helping out in the hotel recently, so I fell asleep on the bed..."
Ye Lan smiled and said, "You see, you've been busy in the store and running recently, and you've lost a lot of weight!"
Tong Xiayue herself couldn't see it, but many people around her had said this recently. Originally She was frail and seemed to have become even thinner recently…
She wore a short-sleeved shirt in the summer, and the clothes that could be held up before now looked like they were worn by a child, so empty…
Zhang Cuihua sat at the table and put a steamed bun in Tong Xiayue’s bowl: “Eat more, otherwise the third brother will think we didn’t take good care of you when he comes back. How come his wife is so hungry and thin!”
Tong Xiayue smiled and said: “Maybe it’s too hot in the summer and I have no appetite. It will be fine when the weather cools down after a while.”
Ye Lan felt distressed when she saw her thin body. She was already a mother of three children, but Zhang Cuihua became more plump after giving birth. Standing in front of Tong Xiayue, she was almost two sizes bigger than her!
Ji Jiamu and Ji Jialin also got up. Tong Xiayue was busy with the competition during this period, so they did not rest and went to the hotel early every day to help.
Ji Jiamu just heard everyone's discussion and said with concern: "Sister-in-law, mom and your sisters-in-law are right. You should eat more. There are so many things to do every day. How can you eat so little?"
Tong Xiayue stuffed the steamed bun into her mouth and nodded vigorously: "Yeah, okay!"
Ji Jiamu saw her like this, how could she be a mother? In life, she was still a child!
Ji Jialin quickly showed off a big meat bun: "Sister-in-law, you guys are going to compete at 10 o'clock today, right? Do you need to prepare anything?"
Tong Xiayue shook her head: "No need to prepare anything, we can just go there when the notice is given, no need to prepare anything, and we are not allowed to bring anything related to cooking."
Ji Jialin smiled and said: "Oh, it's quite strict!"
Zhao Qian smiled and said: "Of course not, this is the first time that our Beijing City has held such a big competition!" Ji
Jiamu and Ji Jialin had to hurry to the hotel, and they ate a few bites in a hurry and said goodbye to everyone: "Sister-in-law, we'll go to the store first, good luck in the competition!"
Tong Xiayue waved at them: "Okay!"
Tong Xiayue was not in a hurry, after all, the competition was not until 10 o'clock, and it was only a little after six o'clock.
After breakfast, she went directly to the room to rest.
In the past, she also often participated in various activities, some live, some recorded, and competitions were commonplace. Otherwise, where did her tens of millions of fans come from?
But this was in the 1970s and 1980s after all!
Tong Xiayue stayed in the room until nine o'clock before coming out. Ye Lan, Zhang Cuihua and Zhao Qian did not dare to disturb her and sat in the main hall waiting for her.
Several children had been sent out to play, and there were only a few adults left at home.
Although Tong Xiayue did not look nervous, Ye Lan and the others still felt that she must be very nervous, but just did not want to make them worry!
After all, these outsiders were so nervous!
Tong Xiayue walked out of the room and came to the main hall. When everyone saw her come out, they stood up from their stools like springs!
