Li Xiao moved very quickly, and within a few minutes dozens of round glutinous rice balls without any flaws appeared on the plate.
The white glutinous rice balls are covered with a thin layer of glutinous rice flour, which makes them look hazy and beautiful.
Seal the prepared glutinous rice balls with plastic wrap and put them in a fresh-keeping layer. You can eat them in the evening.
After finishing and watching, Li Xiao cooked three or four home-cooked dishes with the audience. They were all very simple dishes, but most of them were both beautiful and delicious.
Time soon came to night, and Li Xiao started live teaching again.
After all, the popularity at noon today was pretty good, and it reached the top ten on the popularity list in just over an hour.
Moreover, the environment in the live broadcast room looks much better than before, and there will no longer be trolls who deliberately set the pace and control public opinion.
He is also happy to communicate more with everyone. After all, there has been no live broadcast for seven days. It is indeed necessary to broadcast a few more hours to make everyone happy.
Since tonight is the Lantern Festival, Li Xiao made a few extra dishes and made eight dishes and one soup.
Of course, the portion size of each dish is halved accordingly. After all, it is not a good habit to waste food, and there are glutinous rice balls as dessert after the meal, so it is even more important not to waste it.
The food was flawless as always, and the glutinous rice balls were also quite delicious.
The sesame and peanut filling inside the glutinous rice balls is in a semi-liquid state. When you bite into it, the sesame and peanut filling will flow out of the glutinous rice balls.
Eat it in one bite, the peanut sesame filling and the glutinous rice dough are fragrant, glutinous and soft, it is perfect.
After the three members of the Li family finished eating glutinous rice balls, they sat in the hall and watched TV.
Li Xiao doesn't have much interest in variety shows on TV. After all, the traces of the script are too obvious. He really doesn't believe that a couple will make all their embarrassing stories public.
And one second they were so noisy that they were blushing, and the next second they were hugging each other and crying.
Isn’t the gap a little too big? Brother, didn’t you say that you think your wife spends too much money on cosmetics and is idle all day long instead of going out to work?
Shouldn't the host guide the wife and husband to discuss the monthly cost of cosmetics and how to go out to work?
Why did you just reminisce about the beauty of your first love and get back together?
Is the problem not solved yet?
Even if they reconcile now, they will still have to quarrel and get divorced later. This show is too unfocused.
However, seeing his mother watching intently, Li Xiao could only twitch the corners of his mouth and watch with his mother.
After watching for half an hour, he felt that it was getting late, so he took out a bank card and handed it to his mother.
Liang Jinjian was a little surprised as to why his son suddenly gave him a bank card. He heard his son say:
"There is 1 million on this card for you to open a store. I originally wanted to accompany you to visit the store, but I didn't expect that around the Chinese New Year, both the agent and the landlord will have a break."
"But now I have other things to be busy with, so you and your father can just discuss it."
"The 1 million in it is for the expenses of opening your store. If you don't have enough in the future and you ask me to get it, don't save money for me."
"Your son can make money now. You should have a general understanding. There is really no need to save me so much money. Do you understand?"
When Liang Jinjian heard that there was actually 1 million in the bank card, he suddenly felt that the originally cold bank card was a little hot to the touch.
To be honest, she has worked for more than 20 years, and it is unknown whether her total salary is 1 million.
After all, the salary in the past few years was not as high as it is now, but now his son actually gave out 1 million, just to give the two old guys a place to spend some time.
She hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Okay, I'll accept this bank card first, and I'll save the unused money for you first."
"Don't be so lavish with your money. Although you are making money quickly now, money is also spent very quickly."
"If you really want to spend money, buy a house or some land in the town. Don't spend it on random places. Do you understand?"
"To be honest, the speed at which you are making money now makes me really scared."
"After all, the work your father and I have done in our lives is probably not as much as you make in a month. I'm really afraid that this is just a dream."
Li Xiao shook his head, how could this be a dream? Besides, he had never heard of such a long-lasting dream.
He chuckled and said:
"Okay, I won't spend money frivolously, don't worry! I will pay off all the loans for the villa and car after a while, so you don't have to worry about me spending money frivolously. You see, I am not spending money frivolously during this period."
I haven’t bought anything.”
However, Li Xiao’s words were instantly exposed by Li Jianguo:
"Yo? You still have the nerve to say that you didn't spend money randomly? I checked the tools you put in the utility room online on my mobile phone. Each one is several hundred dollars. Some of the larger tools are basically several thousand dollars.
piece."
"This one tool of yours is worth your father's previous month's salary, and you said you didn't spend it frivolously."
???
!!!
Li Xiao's mouth twitched. He never expected that his father would be so up to date with the times and would use his mobile phone to check the price of equipment.
He was about to explain when he saw Li Jianguo wave his hand:
"Actually, it's not that I want to care about you. After all, you can make money now, and you are using your own money. The quality of the equipment is indeed good."
"I just want to tell you that these gadgets cost hundreds of thousands, just buy a few and play with them. Do you understand that you must not touch those sports cars, young models in clubs, gambling, and white flour?"
"If you do these things, you will have to spend all the money you can make."
"Okay, okay, I got it. Anyway, if I have money in the future, I'll give it to you and let you save it. That's all right!"
.....
After returning to the room, Li Xiao was a little helpless. What kind of world is this when you give money to your parents and still get criticized.
But he couldn't say anything, after all, they were his parents, so he quickly packed up the remaining clothes, after all, they were leaving tomorrow.
As soon as I opened the door, my phone rang. I looked at the call and it said it was Zhang Wenjing.
After picking up the phone, Zhang Wenjing's voice came from the other side:
"Hello, Mr. Li Xiao, I just received a notification from the Chefs Association today. The one-star senior chef exam will be held the day after tomorrow, which is March 5th. I have sorted out the relevant matters.
It became a document and was sent to your email address."
"It's really troublesome for you."
Li Xiao's gratitude was sincere. After all, the other party was busy throughout his chef exam, and he was completely confused.
If the other party hadn't informed him tonight, he wouldn't have known how to find the content of the star chef competition.
Zhang Wenjing has no intention of taking credit. She doesn't dare to take the credit on herself. Moreover, she has no idea of giving orders to the other party now, and there is no need for the other party's favor at all.
As a local self-media, of course he also participated in this traffic feast. She even went there to take a look in person, but she did not live broadcast to take advantage of this wave of traffic.
Logically speaking, as a gourmet public account in the Dongguan area, this kind of live broadcast can be considered a professional counterpart, and it may also gain a large number of fans.
But although she was moved, she did not act because she knew very well that although Zhao Buhui went in, her husband and her family were still outside.
Their family was not someone to be trifled with, and she didn't want to offend others by taking advantage of the heat.
No matter how good things are, if at any time you pass into someone else’s hands, you’ll be doomed.
Therefore, she would rather gain less than 10,000 or 20,000 followers and earn less than tens of thousands of yuan, and she would rather protect herself wisely.
However, although she was not directly involved in this matter, she knew the ins and outs of this matter better than most people.
Logically speaking, Zhao Buhui would not be defeated so easily. The reason why things went so smoothly was entirely due to the power of the Chang Hong Group behind him.
Some people who originally wanted to come forward to intercede were blocked by relevant personnel of the Changhong Group.
Although the [Sizhou Banquet] hotel has reopened, the legal person is no longer Zhao Buhui nor her husband, but has been resold to others at a low price.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to reopen in just 7 days.
There were many reasons why they were so decisive in selling this hotel that was making huge profits every day. Of course, the most important reason was that Zhao Buhui's husband and family finally knew who they had offended.
And Changhong Group also made it clear that if you are willing to sell now, you can take the money and leave.
But if you hold on to it, you may not get a penny at all.
Even if the hotel reopens, there are still ways to keep you busy and unable to make ends meet.
With such a threat, Zhao Buhui's husband decisively sold the five-star hotel at a low price.
Moreover, even if it reopens, it is estimated that the business will not be as good as before because of this incident, and it is better to quit early and make some money.
A wealthy woman worth hundreds of millions is like an ant in front of the Changhong Group, disappearing as soon as she says she is gone.
So if I really want to be a mistress and get between the second young lady of the Chang family and Li Xiao, I am afraid that not even ashes will be left in the blink of an eye.
The two of them hung up the phone after saying a few polite words. Li Xiao quickly opened the computer to check the files in the email.
The Star Chef Examination is divided into four steps, three to be precise, because step 1 is strictly the pre-examination step.
That is, you must have a recommender to participate in this competition. Therefore, without a recommender, you may not even be qualified to participate, let alone take the exam.
The first part of the exam is a written test, which will test some simple cooking knowledge. The score is very small, only 10%.
The second part of the exam is a variety of small tests, which may test various knife skills, but also the butchering of live animals, or the identification of ingredients, or the preparation of some specific dishes.
Every year there will be different adjustments due to different presiding officers.
However, the total number of these quizzes remains the same, 6 each year, and the score for the same quiz is ten.
The final round of testing is to create a set of your best dishes. The number of this set is usually between six and twelve.
Although there is no upper limit or lower limit, most contestants will not exceed this standard. After all, this is a project used to show what they are best at, and they must choose the best to prove it.
After completing three rounds of exams, participating chefs will receive a score. Generally speaking, about one hundred to two hundred people will pass the one-star chef exam every year.
This number is usually determined by the number of participants that year. If the number of participants is relatively small, then the number of people who pass will be relatively small, and conversely, the number of people who will pass will be more.
Adding up the results of the three rounds, the top 80 to 100 people with the highest scores can become one-star chefs.
Of course, the ratings of star chefs are similar, but the difficulty increases step by step.
After understanding the content of the exam, Li Xiao's mood did not fluctuate much and she closed the email expressionlessly.
After all, with his current level of chef, let alone one-star certification, even if he gets three-star or even four-star certification, he will not feel any pressure.
However, after closing the email, he immediately reopened it because the last line of the email caught his attention.
Due to the huge number of contestants, the evaluations for different star ratings will be arranged on different dates.
He quickly clicked on another document and checked the exam date.
Sure enough, just as he thought, the one-star exams were ranked first, and the higher the star rating, the further down they were.
After seeing the hesitant expression on his face, the star exam did not clearly stipulate that those who took the one-star chef exam this year cannot continue to take the two-star exam.
Because he had seen a similar news on a certain public account before, in which a talented chef in his 20s participated in the one-star chef competition.
Because his strength overwhelmed almost all the opponents present, he immediately participated in the two-star chef competition.
Things did not turn around, and he successfully passed the two-star chef evaluation.
However, since he ranked last in the two-star competition, he did not continue to participate in the three-star chef competition.
But something as simple as taking two levels in a row has caused quite a stir in the industry, because the gap between levels is actually quite huge.
Li Xiao touched his smooth chin, which seemed to be somewhat feasible.
But the premise was that he needed recommenders at other levels, so he quickly dialed Zhang Wenjing's number again.
The call was quickly answered, and Li Xiao stated his request straight to the point without hesitation.
When Zhang Jingwen heard Li Xiao's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then her brows furrowed. This matter seemed to be beyond her ability.
Although what he told Li Xiao was the invitation sent to him by the Guangdong Chefs Association, the real situation was that the Changhong Group found a relationship for him.
Zhang Wenjing was not sure what Secretary Zhang of the Changhong Group wanted to do. She hesitated and said:
"Well, let me help you contact the association immediately to see if there is any way to implement your request. Regardless of whether it is possible, I will get back to you as soon as possible."
The two exchanged polite words, and Zhang Wenjing immediately hung up the phone. She looked at the time and saw that it was already past 9 p.m.
The other person must have gotten off work at this time, but he must not have gone to bed yet.
Without hesitation, I immediately dialed Secretary Zhang's number. The phone rang three times before someone picked up the phone.
A confused voice came from the other side:
"Is there any urgency for you to come to me so late?"
Zhang Wenjing quickly told Secretary Zhang the whole story, and the other party immediately agreed to Li Xiao's decision without thinking about it for too long or making any other calls.
At the same time, he also said that the best people here can temporarily find 6-star recommenders, which means that if Li Xiao has enough strength, he can go directly from a one-star chef to a six-star chef.
However, even though Secretary Zhang said so, neither Zhang Wenjing nor Secretary Zhang felt that Li Xiao had the ability to pass the six-star exam.
In their eyes, although Li Xiao's cooking skills are good, they are nothing more than a three-star rating at most.
After receiving the confirmation, Li Xiao felt relieved.
Since you have to go to the exam specifically, you should use all your strength at once and take all the exams you can.
See how many stars you can get in the exam. Otherwise, if you want to take the exam again, you will have to rush to the capital and ask others to help find recommenders, which will be very troublesome.
Li Xiao quickly packed his luggage and some portable live broadcast equipment. He brought the live broadcast equipment because it would take a long time to go to the capital.
So the live broadcast will definitely be done there. If you only use a portable live broadcast without equipment, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.
In order to give his lovely audiences the best experience, he is also willing to carry a few extra pounds.
He got up early on the second day. Since he had to go for several days, he didn't want to bother others to take him to the airport, so Li Xiao called a Gaode special car.
Originally, he wanted to call Didi, but then he realized that the APP on his phone was missing.
Only then did he remember what was said in the news these days that Didi actually sold out the national interests of the Han Dynasty in order to make money from going public, so he immediately deleted Didi Taxi on his mobile phone.
Although it feels a little inconvenient, he deeply hates this kind of group that is desperate for profit.
Departing on time at 5:00 sharp, the driver of AutoNavi arrived at the door of the house on time. The service attitude was very good, and he also helped Li Xiao carry his luggage.
After waving goodbye to his parents who got up early in the morning to make breakfast for him, Li Xiao got on the AutoNavi car and drove towards Baiyun Airport.
The driver's driving skills were quite good, and the one and a half hour journey actually took only one hour.
Of course, Li Xiao couldn't tell whether there was speeding involved. After all, he had never driven on this road before.
Because the arrival time was a full hour and a half earlier than expected, Li Xiao was a little at a loss when arriving at the airport.
Simply dragging a large suitcase of luggage around and wandering around, Li Xiao used the most advanced means of transportation before taking a plane for the first time, which was the subway and high-speed rail.
So it is quite novel to see the various shops in the airport. These shops open very early, even 24 hours a day.
Li Xiao even saw a huge bookstore inside. The decoration was very simple, but the books inside were not simple.
He walked around randomly and found no novels. Most of them were business, business, and skills books.
For example, scientific management of time, how to meet the needs of subordinates with minimum effort, thick black science and other books.
At six o'clock in the morning, the bookstore was actually full, with more than a dozen people reading books.
Li Xiao had to lament that the time management level of these high-end business people is really too high.
Flying around consumes a lot of energy and energy. Normal people would take a rest while waiting for the flight, but these business people are racing against time to supplement their knowledge.
Li Xiao, who was originally slow and calm, was also in awe. Such a spirit is not something ordinary people can have, and he really cannot be arrogant just because the system can continuously reward his skills and abilities.
Although you get something for nothing, others can also work hard to catch up.
If you always rely on the system, you will only be overtaken and surpassed by more and more people.
I rummaged around and found several books on cooking, both domestic and foreign.
Li Xiao bought it all and planned to watch it on the plane. After all, with his current energy recovery speed, he could live a full life full of energy without resting on the plane.
