Miao Qiang wiped a handful of flour on his face, looked at the two people standing beside him and said to himself: "You two are really geniuses, one really dares to do it, the other really dares to eat!"

Although there is a time difference between Gui Shi and Yang Shi, the date of the Taotie House Chef Competition is calculated based on the time in Yang Shi. The competition is divided into five links. The first is the audition. All chefs who signed up for the competition will compete on the 23rd hour of the twelfth lunar month.
Filter on the day of the year.
The rules are also very simple. Taotie House will invite five judges to score the contestants' dishes according to the five aspects of color, aroma, taste, meaning, and shape. Each aspect is worth one point, and five points is a perfect score.
The total total score of the five judges is 25 points. The contestants who participate in the audition will be promoted if they score more than 20 points, and all other contestants will be eliminated.
The successful contestants will compete for the God of Cookery on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and the competition will be divided into three rounds.
The same scoring rules, however, most of the players will be eliminated in the first round and only the top ten will be selected to advance. If the scores are the same, retests will be conducted until the top ten are selected.
In the second round, ten will advance to five, in the third round, five will advance to three, and in the final round, the champion, runner-up, and third runner-up will be determined.
According to the rules of this competition, Miao Qiang formulated a cruel training method for Wang Hai. In order to deal with the situation where the scores were the same and he had to participate in the re-examination, Miao Qiang carefully prepared ten dishes that were the best in the box and taught them to Wang Hai.
ocean.
Although there is still some time before Xiaonian's audition day, it is still a bit difficult to learn all ten dishes in these twenty days, and to be proficient in knife skills and control the heat.
So Miao Qiang gave Wang Hai a fatal order, asking him to cook these ten dishes repeatedly every day. In his words, this is called: "What makes you perfect, there is no shortcut to success."
Although Wang Hai was a little tired, he still enjoyed it and persevered. However, during this period, he suffered from the head chef and the canteen's purchasing. In their words: "These three boys are so harmful to others."
"
In half a month, these three boys used more than a hundred kilograms of sea cucumbers alone. Not counting other ingredients, the cost for this item alone was almost half a million.
After hearing the news, Zhang Jianmin couldn't sit still and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to find Miao Qiang, but Miao Qiang snarled him with just one sentence. "What the hell, do you think sea cucumbers are too expensive? Okay, I'll start tomorrow."
Just teach him how to stir-fry pickles, it should be cheap. When he competes, let Wang Hai stir-fry a pot of pickles, and he will surely win the first place."
It can be said that Wang Hai is very talented in cooking. After receiving special training from Miao Qiang, his cooking skills have improved steadily. With these ten dishes he has learned, he can be put into any star-rated restaurant.
It can become the main signature dish.
In the blink of an eye, it was the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month. At midnight, there were more than 20 people standing at a dark intersection.
In addition to Miao Qiang and the others, Zhang Jianmin and Liao Qifa brought more than a dozen investigators from the second group, and Jin Kemu also joined the team at this time.
Zhang Zihao asked in confusion: "Sixth Uncle, why are you following me to join in the fun?"
Jin Kemu smiled and said: "Lao Xiong has opened a few more stores in the ghost market. According to the time there, they have been open for a while. I just took this opportunity to go over with you and take a look."
Liao Qifa looked at the time on his watch and said to Liao Xinyi, who was beside Miao Qiang: "It's almost time, take out the road sign."
After entering the ghost market, a group of more than 20 people, led by Jin Kemu, went straight to Jubaozhai.
Wang Hai wore a hat and a mask, and wrapped himself in a black windbreaker throughout the process to prevent outsiders from seeing his appearance.
Zhang Jianmin's reason for asking him to do this was also very simple: he was afraid that others would see him and find out that he was from Bureau 79.
After arriving at Jubaozhai, Old Ghost Xiong Wanshan arranged for everyone to stay at an inn called Wufu.
The Wufu Inn is adjacent to Jubaozhai and is also located opposite the Taotie Building. However, Miao Qiang remembered that the last time he came to the ghost market, this place was still a shop selling rouge and gouache. But now it has a completely new look, especially before.
The two-story building has now been raised to six stories.
Even several private houses adjacent to the backyard have been integrated together. Although it is not as big as the Taotie Building, it can be regarded as a first-class inn in this ghost market.
Zhang Zihao smiled at Xiong Wanshan and said, "Okay, old ghost, I didn't realize you still have these two moments. We haven't seen each other for just a few days, and you've managed to find such a big inn again."
Xiong Wanshan smiled and said: "Isn't it thanks to you and Governor Miao? With the money I got from Huang Yao last time, I took over the houses on the left and right, and then bought the original Rouge
The shop was rebuilt, and now the Wufu Inn has emerged."
After everyone was settled, Zhang Jianmin took Wang Hai wrapped in a windbreaker to find Xiong Wanshan and asked him to help cover up Wang Hai's identity so that no outsiders would know that Wang Hai was from their 79th Bureau.
Xiong Wanshan understood what Zhang Jianmin meant and smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will arrange a separate place for him later. When I sign up for the audition tomorrow, I will ask the store clerk to take him there, so outsiders will not know that he is following you.
Came together."
Zhang Jianmin nodded and said: "Then there will be shopkeeper Lao Xiong." Then he said to Wang Hai: "Don't be nervous, kid, we will protect you in secret."
............
Xiong Wanshan is now prosperous in the ghost market. After Huang Yao's incident, everyone in the ghost market knows that he has connections with the five immortal families behind him. No matter who sees him, he will give him a polite
A little more face.
The old ghost even used the money he got from Huang Yao and the savings from Jubaozhai to open the Wufu Inn and a large restaurant in the ghost market.
The restaurant opened a few streets away from the Taotie House and was called Tianxiaxian. The chef in charge was named Chen Bingyi and he was a ghost. After seeing this little old man, Miao Qiang could not calm down.
It turned out that this old guy was a national special cooking master during his lifetime. However, he has been dead for more than twenty years. Miao Qiang did not expect to see him here.
In the private room, Zhang Zihao fiddled with his chopsticks and kept nodding his head: "The skills of this super chef are extraordinary! Old Miao, you are not even close to the cooking skills of others!"
Miao Qiang smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, that old guy has been cooking for more than a hundred years before he was alive and after his death. I have only been working for so many years, and I'm afraid I can't even get a fraction of what others do. How can this compare!"
Zhang Zihao smacked his lips: "You are right."
At this time, Xiong Wanshan filled a glass of wine for Miao Qiang and Jin Kemu's uncle and nephew, then picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "You three, I'd like to toast you. Meeting you is the greatest blessing in my life. I won't say anything more grateful."
, it’s all in this glass of wine.” After speaking, he raised his neck and drank all the white wine in the glass.
The old ghost was really grateful to the three of them. After returning to Yangshi last time, Miao Qiang told Jin Kemu and Zhang Zihao his thoughts. After hearing this, they did not object and directly divided the shares of the ghost market business.
The four shares were originally four, three, and three, but now each person has 2.5%. As a result, Xiong Wanshan changed from the shopkeeper to one of the four bosses, which made him overjoyed and very motivated. According to the ghost market
Calculating time, in just a few months, he tripled the size of his business.
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Jianmin and everyone from the 79th game squeezed into the crowd of spectators, while Wang Hai went to the registration office and got his participation number.
Looking in the direction of the audition, Zhang Jianmin whispered to Miao Qiang: "There are no less than two hundred people participating in the audition. Why am I so unsure about whether that kid Wang Hai can advance smoothly? He can't even win the first place."
I can’t pass any level.”
Miao Qiang smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as he follows what I taught him, there shouldn't be any big problem."
After saying that, Miao Qiang changed the topic: "Director Zhang, is there any news about the brothers who have been taking turns guarding the Taotie Tower? Is that mysterious man showing up?"
Zhang Jianmin shook his head and said: "There is nothing strange so far in the Taotie Building. This is understandable. After all, today is the audition. The real final is on the fifth day of the first lunar month. He will not show up so early. What happens next?
It depends on whether that boy Wang Hai can live up to his expectations!"
While the two were talking, someone from the other side of the Taotie Building shouted: "The audition competition is about to begin, and here are five guest judges to make their debut!"
