He smiled and took the steamed buns and the hot soy milk handed over by Uncle Badong.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Badong. I got up too early and didn't eat."
Badong didn't have any doubts, and the smile on his face became happier. It seemed that he felt more happy because he moved to Li Xiao.
"It's okay if you haven't eaten. It's okay if you haven't eaten. It's not good for your health to skip two extra breakfasts."
As he said this, he was about to reach into the bag and get two more for Li Xiao. Seeing this, Li Xiao secretly scolded himself for being so polite.
He quickly stopped:
"One is enough. I don't eat much for breakfast, but if I eat too much at once, I'm not in good condition."
"That's true. Then eat less. After all, the exam is important. It's not easy for you to take the exam all the way."
The two chatted for a while. When Badong saw a new person coming, he immediately stood up and walked towards that person.
Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. Today's buns and soy milk were exactly the same as the day before yesterday, quite ordinary.
It turns out that it was not that Mr. Badong failed to do a good job or lost his standard last time, but that his standard was just like that.
Alas, after so many years of hard work, I can only maintain this level. I don't know whether I should continue to deceive him or tell him the truth directly.
In the midst of the entanglement, the bell for the exam rang in his ears, and Li Xiao put the matter behind him.
I think there are quite a few people who have eaten Mr. Badong’s food over the years, and someone must have mentioned this issue before.
Maybe he already knew that he was not good at this, but he just didn't know why he kept insisting on it.
The morning exam is divided into two parts, the first part is compulsory.
[Ingredients classification]
【Knife Skills】
【Sauce processing】
【Marinate processing】
【Food processing】
Each of the previous five exams is worth 10 points.
The last item is the 10-choice designated dish test. You must choose one of the 10 dishes selected by the examiner to cook, and the full score is also ten.
The morning exam adds up to a total of 60 points of progress. The afternoon exam has a full score of 30 points and will be tested on a full set of dishes, with a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 12 dishes.
The 10 judges from the corresponding group will score on the spot, and based on the results obtained on the first day, we will know on the same day who will be promoted to one-star chef this year.
Li Xiao also learned yesterday that his score on the first day of the test was neither too high nor too low, with a score of 95.
The converted total score was 9.5 points, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, it only accounted for 1/10 of the total score. How well he did in the exam still depends on today's two games.
Li Xiao walked slowly into the competition venue. The venue was crowded and very lively because many of the chefs knew each other.
There was only a layman like Li Xiao, who didn't even have a single acquaintance.
According to the information recorded on his mobile phone, he found his location number [26].
As soon as he stood firm, an exclamation came from next to him:
"Let me go, why is it you?!"
Li Xiao frowned slightly. The voice seemed a bit familiar. It seemed like he had heard it somewhere before.
He turned his head following the sound and was also startled.
The man on the 25th standing next to him was actually the guy Quanjude had played for him, the guy named Li Bingsheng.
Li Xiao's mouth twitched, and he didn't know whether to pretend not to know him or say hello to him.
Although the other party seemed not very polite, he still nodded out of politeness:
"Yes, it's me. Nice to meet you."
Li Bingsheng's eyes were as big as bells. He pointed at Li Xiao and asked:
"Hey, hey, aren't you a food anchor? Why are you here to take the star chef exam?"
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. Although there was nothing wrong with what the other party said, there was a condescending disdain in the other party's tone.
Especially when talking about food anchors, the ridicule on his face cannot be concealed.
Seeing his performance, Li Xiao also put away the smile on his face.
However, he did not confront the opponent head-on. After all, facing such a person and arguing with him would only cause his negative energy to explode.
Seeing that Li Xiao actually turned his head and did not answer his question, Li Bingsheng immediately let out a dissatisfied snort.
Li Xiao smiled bitterly, he was really a spoiled child. It seemed that if he went out to society in the future without the protection of his family, he would definitely receive a severe beating.
He had no time to continue to care about the other party, so he opened the tripod in his hand, installed the camera, and started today's live broadcast.
The news about Li Xiao’s broadcast was immediately sent through the background.
The number of people in the live broadcast room quickly increased to 100,000, 200,000, and soon reached 300,000, and the upward trend of the number of people did not slow down.
After all, he previewed today's live broadcast two days in advance.
Many of them have never even heard of such a special live broadcast content such as the Star Chef Examination, let alone seeing it with their own eyes.
Therefore, many people come to see their friends and have a look at what will be included in the star chef exam.
"Anchor, your model worker halo is about to be taken away by others. You didn't broadcast live all day yesterday?"
"Brother upstairs, can you please use your brain? The anchor has to take exams all day today. Don't you need to recharge your batteries yesterday?"
"The anchor has worked hard enough, don't be so strict."
"I'll go, this competition venue is so big and there are so many people!"
"Is the anchor confident that he will get the first place?"
"It's so funny! The wave of poisonous milk upstairs is so timely!"
"First place? The anchor probably just focuses on participation."
"That's not necessarily true. The host's cooking skills are quite impressive."
"Actually, it's just that we look pretty good. For professionals, it's just average."
.......
When Li Xiao turned the camera on his hand, he also looked around at the growing number of people entering the scene. In most places, there were already people familiar with the placement of kitchen utensils and tools.
Soon, bells rang around the venue again, and the surrounding sounds began to gradually decrease until silence returned.
He leaned in front of the camera and whispered:
"Wait a moment, it should start. Let's be quiet and you can just watch."
Sure enough, after the bell rang, the doors to the venue on all sides were slammed shut.
There was a squeaking sound of electricity coming from the speaker.
"Hey, hey, hey, cough, hello everyone, I am Cai Rongsheng, the chairman of this year's star chef selection. I am very happy to meet you here."
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. There are people here who have participated in the competition before and some who have come to participate in the competition for the first time, so I will repeat the rules of today's competition again."
"The morning is divided into 6 projects."
"[Ingredients classification], [Knife skills], [Sauce processing], [Marining processing], [Ingredients processing], [Choose one from ten], each item is 10 points."
"Only one project for the afternoon."
"[Preparation of six to twelve dishes], total score 30 points."
"It is now 9:25 in the morning. Starting now, everyone will start queuing up according to their test number size from lowest to highest."
"The evaluation of the first item [Ingredients Classification] will begin at 9:30."
"You need to pick up the answer sheet on the workbench and follow the team. For odd-numbered test numbers, fill in the odd-numbered ingredients, and for even-numbered test numbers, fill in the even-numbered ingredients. There are 200 kinds of ingredients in total."
"Each correct answer on an ingredient will give you 0.1 points. Please line up immediately."
As soon as the words fell, the originally quiet venue immediately became noisy.
Everyone picked up the answer sheets on their workbench that had their card numbers marked on them.
Li Xiao did not pick up the tripod, but this did not have much impact because there was a portable camera on his head.
In the live broadcast room.
"Oh haha, the competition has begun, I don't know how many questions the host can answer."
"Isn't it easy to cheat?"
"It's as simple as what the person above thought. If it was so easy to cheat, then this exam rule would have been changed long ago."
"Existence is reasonable. Maybe people don't worry about you cheating at all."
"Isn't this exam too easy? Identifying ingredients? Isn't this something that anyone with some common sense can do?"
"Please, there are 100 types, and they are 100 random ones. Do you really know them all?"
Li Xiao did not bring a mobile phone. Of course, no one seemed to explain that he was prohibited from bringing a mobile phone without it.
Aren’t you afraid that others will immediately take out their mobile phones to check for ingredients you don’t know?
Just as he was thinking this, Cai Rongsheng continued to speak:
"We have 10 invigilators among the candidates who will be responsible for monitoring whether the candidates around them are cheating. Of course, you can choose to use your mobile phone to cheat, but once you are discovered, you will be disqualified from the exam for life."
"In addition, you are not allowed to whisper to each other or listen to the opinions and suggestions of people around you. Anyone who talks during the process will be immediately disqualified from this exam."
Li Xiao took a deep breath when he heard Cai Rongsheng's rules. Good guy, this rule is really strict enough.
As long as you talk, you will be disqualified. Once you cheat, you will be disqualified for life. Moreover, there is also an invigilator mixed into the team.
No wonder the association dares to let candidates line up to take the exam, because they are not afraid of you cheating at all.
The five minutes came quickly, and the queue was sparsely formed, with everyone separated by about 0.5 meters.
The candidates were led to the food display cabinet, which was divided into countless small compartments.
Different numbers are marked on the small grids, and different ingredients are placed inside, quietly waiting for the candidates to observe.
The classmate who had pirated copies actually came back and ordered the full version from the author. He was so moved that he cried. Thank you.
