Time passed unknowingly, and Uncle Badong quickly gave away all the buns and soy milk he had in hand. In the end, even the package of biscuits in his hand was given away.
Although Li Xiao could see that many candidates' expressions changed instantly when they ate steamed buns and soy milk.
But since then, I have never seen anyone criticize Uncle Badong’s steamed buns and soy milk for not being delicious.
Seeing Badong's satisfied smile for doing good deeds, Li Xiao sighed softly in his heart.
God is not always fair. Why do people with such a good heart work hard for so long and still get nothing?
Seeing Badong walking up to him with a smile on his face, Li Xiao also responded with a smile.
Badong sat on the bench next to Li Xiao familiarly. He looked Li Xiao up and down and asked:
"Are you twenty this year? Why did you come here so early to participate in the competition?"
Li Xiao smiled and nodded:
"I'm getting ready for the 22nd. I didn't plan to come originally, but our Guangdong Provincial Chefs Association just sent an invitation, so I stopped by to participate."
???
The smile on Badong's face froze for a moment, and then he turned his head in surprise, staring at Li Xiao's eyes with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see that he was joking.
However, seeing Li Xiao's sincere eyes, Badong knew that the other party was not joking.
But how is this possible?
Is there such a big difference between the local chefs association and the chefs association in the capital?
In all his years in the capital, he has never heard of the Chefs Association actually inviting chefs to participate in competitions.
And after so many years of participating, it seems that he has never heard of such a thing from any candidate. Li Xiao was the first person to say that he was invited by the Chefs Association.
Before Badong could ask, a sneer came from the side.
The other party's tone was full of sarcasm, and he spoke loudly, not afraid of being heard by the people around him.
"Here I go, I'm really good at bragging, and I was invited by the Guangdong Chefs Association? Do you want to laugh me to death and reduce one competitor?"
"Are there any friends here from Guangdong who want to know who this big brother who was personally invited by the association is?"
Li Xiao frowned slightly and looked towards the speaker.
What appeared in front of him was a short man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, who was only about 1.6 meters tall.
When he spoke, he opened his big yellow teeth and his eyes kept wandering around.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone here was a chef, Li Xiao would have thought he was a scammer who escaped somewhere.
No, he quickly realized that his thoughts were too narrow.
Although most of the people here are chefs, who says chefs can’t also be fraudsters?
Feeling the vague glances from around him, Li Xiao's eyes were a little unkind, and he was communicating with Badong in a low voice.
It's not bothering anyone and it's not annoying anyone. What does the other party mean by being so loud and careless?
Listening to the other party's tone, it was obvious that he was full of disdain and ridicule for himself. It seemed that he did not believe that he was invited by the Chefs Association.
He was about to stand up and confront the other party, but was quickly pulled down by Badong next to him. Badong quickly put his mouth to Li Xiao's ear and whispered:
"Brother, please don't pay attention to such people. There is no need to get angry with these people. There is really no need."
"If a dog bites you, would you bite the dog back? Are you right?"
"Forget it, forget it, let's just pretend we didn't hear it."
Listening to Uncle Badong whispering dissuasion in your ear, you slightly loosen your clenched fists. There is really no need to pay too much attention to this kind of mad dog.
This kind of person has too much negative energy, looking for a sense of existence everywhere, and yelling and barking everywhere when they see something that doesn't suit their liking.
If I had sex with him, it would be in line with the other person's wishes.
Li Xiao looked at the other party with disdain, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Then he followed Badong's pull and sat back on the bench.
However, he underestimated how disgusting the other party was. Seeing Li Xiao ignore him, Dahuangya became even more arrogant.
Just listen to him shouting to the surroundings:
"Are you so used to bragging that you think you are really awesome?"
"Don't even look at where this place is. At the annual star chef competition, someone actually dares to brag here. How desperate is he?"
Hearing that the other party was still chattering, Li Xiao wanted to turn around and glare at him.
But Badong held his shoulders tightly. He felt the power coming from his shoulders and was a little surprised.
You know, your physique is already much stronger than ordinary people.
However, the 40-year-old Uncle Badong in front of him was able to hold his shoulders firmly, making it impossible for him to turn his body.
This kind of arm and wrist strength is simply not what ordinary people should have.
This made Li Xiao even more curious about Badong's identity. Although the chef often had to stir the pot, he was a little stronger than ordinary people.
However, the opponent's current arm strength is obviously not what ordinary people should have.
But everyone has their own secret. Maybe Uncle Badong used to be a weightlifter or something, or he was the military king of the dragon group.
It was only after he retired that he became a chef, which can explain why the other party is so strong and the food is so unpalatable.
After all, I don’t have the right major, and I’m not from a major. It’s all based on my hobbies and my own imagination.
Once one's own talent is very low, it is easy to fall into a trap where no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to succeed.
It stands to reason that as long as no one takes care of a person's one-man show, he will soon stop singing.
But there are really a lot of bored people, who come to the examination room early but have nothing to do.
They happened to see something lively to watch, but these people didn't want the farce to stop.
Seeing that Li Xiao was unwilling to talk to Da Huang Ya, several people around Da Huang Ya who obviously knew him also started to make noises.
"Yeah, why don't you brag about where you are first?"
"You're bragging at a star chef competition? You don't even look at how much you weigh?"
"Come on, are there any brothers from Guangdong? Come forward and see where this great master comes from?"
"I am from Guangdong, and I have never heard of this person."
"I checked this year's rankings, and there was no such guy at all."
"I know all the young people participating in Guangdong this year, but there is no one like this?"
"No, why does this guy look familiar to me?"
"Hey, when you talk about me like this, you feel like you've seen me somewhere before?"
Originally, everyone's tone was full of ridicule and ridicule, but when they heard some of them say something that was somewhat familiar to Li Xiao.
The teasing around him immediately decreased a lot. You must know that there are thousands of chefs in the Han Dynasty, which can make other chefs feel familiar.
Then the other party must be a chef who already has a certain reputation, and the society is very realistic.
When the wall falls and everyone pushes you down, when you are down, everyone will add insult to injury and make sarcastic remarks.
But if others discover that this down-and-out guy actually has a strong backing, or is very powerful himself, then everyone will become cautious.
The atmosphere became a little weird for a while. After all, the person he just laughed at might have a deep background and strong strength.
Those who had just started laughing became cautious and cautious.
However, this weird atmosphere did not last long. A fat man took his mobile phone and smiled at everyone and said:
"Seeing that you are all nervous, I said why do you look so familiar? Isn't this just a food anchor? I saw him doing a live broadcast on Mao Mao Live and he was just a store explorer. Why are you nervous?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and then burst into laughter.
Dahuang Ya, who was startled just now, acted the most exaggeratedly. He pointed at Li Xiao’s nose and said:
"Hey, I thought he was some serious person, but he turned out to be a live broadcaster?"
"The Guangdong Chefs Association wants you to promote their association on the live broadcast. I thought he was such an awesome person!"
Looking at a group of people, every word you say to me seems to have the momentum of not giving up until Li Xiao is trampled into the mud.
Badong couldn't sit still anymore and quickly picked up Li Xiao and ran towards the teaching building.
While running to Badong, he held Li Xiao's arm tightly, for fear that he would do something stupid in his youth and exuberance.
You must know that even if there is a fight, with so many people watching, even one punch from one person can make Li Xiao lie on the ground unable to move.
She kept comforting him:
"Little brothers, please don't listen to their nonsense. Let's leave quickly. They are just a bunch of mad dogs."
However, whoever heard Badong say that they were a bunch of mad dogs, these people immediately stopped working.
A tall, muscular man who was standing next to Dahuang Ya just now blocked the way between the two of them and said in a very dissatisfied tone:
"I also said that the big shot is so arrogant that he dares to call everyone crazy dogs?"
"It turns out to be the guy who just sent out buns everywhere. It's true that birds of a feather flock together."
“The steamed buns and soy milk I made are so unpalatable, and I dare to give them out to others to eat. I’m really going to laugh out loud.”
After the strong man finished speaking, Badong's expression changed. Just as he was about to refute something, he heard whispers coming from around him.
"I just said there was something wrong with my sense of taste. It turned out that it still tasted really bad."
"Please, the sugar in the soy milk seems to be free of charge. The chef really doesn't know how to make it."
"The meat stuffing in the meat buns is not good either. I don't know how to make it. It tastes so bad."
"The meat is good meat, and the beans are also good beans, but they are ruined by people who don't know how to do it."
"A chef who is still taking the one-star test at his age looks like a loser at first glance, and those who hang out with him are probably not that good either."
The people around him were talking more and more unpleasantly. After finding out that Li Xiao was an anchor, everyone's nervous expressions disappeared.
After all, everyone knows what a food anchor is.
Most food anchors are only at the level of ordinary chef school graduates, and the gap between them and those preparing to take the one-star chef exam is really huge.
Some of the food anchors who do shop tours only have a mouth to eat. If they are asked to cook, they can barely make tomato and egg soup.
People like this come to participate simply to make fun of themselves. Some people even feel that they were insulted by Li Xiao.
"Now all kinds of cats and dogs can come to compete."
"Who says it's not the case? After all, the qualifications for the competition only require the recommendation of three one-star chefs. You can buy it on the black market with a little money."
"I suggest those people get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise they will be embarrassed if they can't cook a single dish."
Suddenly there was another burst of laughter from all around.
Li Xiao felt the hand holding his shoulder grow stronger unconsciously, and he turned his head slightly to look at Badong's face.
The other person's face was full of anger and shame, but he didn't argue with anyone else.
Instead, he tightly hugged Li Xiao's shoulders and prepared to bypass the strong man and walk towards the teaching building.
Seeing the two of them about to leave, everyone who had just found the fun was unwilling to let them leave. The big man quickly stretched out his hand to stop them.
While stretching out his hand, he joked:
"Hey, don't go. Didn't you sound loud just now? Why are you so timid now?"
Li Xiao was speechless when he saw the hand as big as a cattail leaf in front of him. When had he ever spoken so loudly?
I was chatting quietly with Badong beside me, so why did I provoke these monsters?
Li Xiao has always thought that trolls only appear online. After all, the Internet is considered a lawless place by many people.
A group of keyboard warriors can scold them as much as they want, because no one can catch these keyboard warriors.
This was the first time that he encountered so many disgusting people in reality.
Of course, in reality there are not so many mindless trolls.
Most of the people who just started taunting and teasing were Da Huangya's friends or the lackeys clinging to Da Huangya.
After all, although Da Huangya is just an ordinary chef, his eldest brother is not.
Dahuangya's name is Pei Qiangdong. If you just name him, not many people would know him, but once you say his eldest brother's name, many people in the industry will know him.
His eldest brother is Pei Qianghu, a five-star chef.
Both his connections and skills are quite impressive. He also invested early with others and jointly opened a material supply channel.
So a large number of guys who couldn't get enough of Pei Qianghu gathered around Pei Qiangdong.
Trying to get some benefits and help from Pei Qianghu's brother by clinging to him.
And this Pei Qianghu also loves and protects his incompetent brother. After all, he was born to the same mother.
Although this younger brother is neither high nor low, he is respectful to me and the two elderly people in the family are taken care of by his younger brother and his sister-in-law.
Therefore, Pei Qianghu takes great care of his younger brother, and he will also give appropriate benefits to those who support his younger brother.
That's why Pei Qiangdong has such a large number of people gathered around him, and in order to please him, these people, of course, will do whatever their master says and what they, the losers, will do.
That's why there was a scene where everyone surrounded Li Xiao and Badong, just when Li Xiao couldn't bear it anymore and was about to resist.
A bell rang from the direction of the teaching building. Upon hearing the ringing, other people watching the excitement stood up from around them and rushed towards the teaching building.
After all, they came to take an exam, not to watch the fun. Since the exam was about to take place, of course they were no longer in the mood to watch the fun.
Li Xiao was stunned when he heard the ringtone and sighed softly. Forget it, he was too lazy to argue with these people.
Badong was relieved when he heard the alarm, but he was also worried that there would be some conflicts among everyone.
The current situation is the best. Although I have been spoken to a few words, I have not lost a piece of meat.
It was a farce that ended in vain, which is the best outcome.
The strong man also returned to him at Pei Qiangdong's signal.
Pei Qiangdong looked around and found that the audience had left, and he no longer had the interest to continue playing tricks on the two little mice in front of him.
Li Xiao and Badong stood there without moving, quietly watching Dahuang Ya being surrounded by a group of people and walking towards the teaching building.
After Dahuangya and the others walked away, Li Xiao and Badong looked at each other, with a wry smile on their faces, and hurriedly walked towards their respective examination rooms.
The exam process was very smooth, the test questions were very simple, and they were all common sense questions.
And Li Xiao didn't care too much about the scores in this round. After all, 100 questions only accounted for 10 points, and the average score for each question was only 0.1 points.
Others obviously had similar ideas to Li Xiao, if not all subjects had to be present.
Otherwise, the exam qualifications will be directly canceled in the name of absenteeism. I am afraid that many people will give up the written exam directly.
The written test in the morning lasted for two hours in total. The questions above 80 points were all multiple-choice questions, and the remaining 20 points were just so-called application questions.
It only took Li Xiao half an hour to finish answering the questions. After checking carefully to make sure there were no omissions, he put down his pen.
There should be no mistakes in the multiple-choice questions, but points may be deducted for the four application questions because it is also his first time to take the exam and he does not know the standards of the exam.
However, he didn't care too much about whether the application questions were right or wrong, after all, the design points were not very high.
Seeing more and more people handing in their papers and leaving, he also handed in his papers.
Although you cannot miss the exam here, you do allow early submission.
I left the examination room safely without encountering Uncle Badong or the yellow-toothed monster that caused trouble just now.
Back to the hotel, I brought the live broadcast tools with me.
These two days are relatively free, after all, the official exam will not be until tomorrow.
He won't have time to live broadcast the whole day after tomorrow, so he will have to live broadcast more accordingly in these two days.
He looked at the time and saw it was a little late, almost 1:00.
However, it seems that no one has stipulated that food live streaming cannot be started at 1:00 noon.
You need to try to choose the most popular time for live broadcast, which is especially useful for new anchors.
A big anchor like Li Xiao with only more than 4 million fans will have a large influx of viewers whenever he broadcasts live.
Not to mention the live broadcast at 1pm, even if it is 1am, there are still a lot of people.
He opened the interface of his mobile phone, clicked on Mao Mao Live, and started today's live broadcast.
The marketing news was quickly pushed out from the background, and the number of people gradually increased.
However, within three or four minutes, the number of people exceeded 300,000.
While Li Xiao was greeting the audience, he got on the AutoNavi car that had been ordered long ago.
