Food: The super chef just wants to set up a stall leisurely

Chapter 390: Expectations Not Disappointed

"...I'll ask Da Zhuang when I'm free at night!" Zhao Xiaojing suddenly had an idea.

"Da Zhuang? Why are you asking him?" Yun Yongyuan asked puzzledly.

"He was a judge, a technical judge at that. When I watched the live broadcast, one of his fans almost got into a quarrel with others because of him."

"Ask now! I'll do it for you!" Wan Yuyue, a front-line crowd, volunteered. "Senior Brother Yun can do it even if I don't know how to do it!"

"He hasn't even finished his work yet. I'm afraid the fourth game has just finished."

"Okay! That's slow!"

……

The whole night was spent with Wan Yuyue scratching her head and Zhao Xiaojing's strong desire for gossip, which she initially laughed at but later aroused. At nine o'clock, as soon as the kitchen was free, Zhao Xiaojing made a phone call at Wan Yuyue's urging.

"Chef Zhao, I'll call you when the store is not busy at 10 o'clock! Are you also assigned to the second competition area today?" As soon as the call was connected, before Zhao Xiaojing could speak, Da Zhuang asked excitedly.

"Yes, how did you know? Then guess what I did?"

"Sugar water, the one with green mountains, green water, red sun and white clouds, right?"

"Haha, did you see the number?" Zhao Xiaojing was surprised for a moment and then immediately reacted.

The names and numbers are written on the final ranking list, so it is not surprising that the numbers match.

"Yes, I saw it, but I had guessed it before that. Otherwise, why would I keep eating without saying anything? I was afraid that they would finish their meal and there would be no share for me." Da Zhuang chuckled.

This time Zhao Xiaojing was really surprised.

Although Da Zhuang had been told her competition time before, the competition zones had not been divided at that time. Even if it was confirmed that she was in Zone 2, being able to determine who did it by eating one bite out of the 38 people is also a special ability, right?

"Remember the long review I wrote for Lao Guo before? Li Zi and I went to Yangcheng specifically to look for your milk shaved ice?" Da Zhuang seemed to know what Zhao Xiaojing was thinking. He smiled and explained to himself, "Although we didn't eat it at that time, Lao Guo took us to other restaurants in Yangcheng. We found that our tastes were very similar, so we trusted his taste. Later, we ate a bowl of your pork trotter rice in Jiangcheng, and unconsciously our expectations for that bowl of shaved ice became even higher. It's just that you run a restaurant, and although we have been thinking about it, we are too embarrassed to say it."

"Really? I didn't know you wanted to eat it so much." Zhao Xiaojing also laughed out loud.

"The less you eat this kind of thing, the more delicious it tastes in your imagination. Later, I even felt that my expectations were too high, so high that I thought I would be disappointed if I really ate it. But today, with just one bite, the feeling of the milk smoothie described by Lao Guo immediately appeared in my mind."

"Thank you for such a high compliment." Zhao Xiaojing was inexplicably touched.

"We should thank you for always exceeding our expectations and never disappointing us. Even though the game schedule was so tight today, you still did your best."

"Well, our store will be closed this Tuesday. If you have time, ask Lao Guo and Li Zi to come over. I'll make you a bowl of rice. It just so happens that my senior sister is pestering me to eat it."

"Really?!" Da Zhuang was immediately excited. "There is time! There must be time. It's settled!"

"Okay, see you on Tuesday then."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaojing had a happy smile on her face. She turned around and saw Wan Yuyue standing behind her with her eyes wide open.

"You scared me! What are you doing here?"

"Have you found out? What good things did those people do?" Wan Yuyue asked while shaking Zhao Xiaojing's arm.

"Uh... that... I forgot to ask..."

"I forgot to ask!" Wan Yuyue's eyes widened in disbelief. "Then what have you been talking about for so long? You can't be talking about poetry, songs, and life ideals!"

"Let's talk about the store being closed on Tuesday. I'll make you some sweet soup!" Zhao Xiaojing smiled and glanced at Wan Yuyue, "But since you only want to hear gossip, I won't make your share then."

"Junior sister, what's the matter with your brain? It's a treasure trove of wisdom! You can come up with great ideas just by thinking! Are you going to make this bowl of noodles for the competition on Tuesday? Do you need my help? There is a high-end fruit store next to where I live. What do you want? I can buy it for you." Wan Yuyue instantly became flattering. Zhao Xiaojing rubbed the goose bumps on her arm and smiled without saying a word.

Two days passed quickly. On Tuesday, Zhao Xiaojing came to the store with a large pile of various fruits and made more than twenty kinds of samples in the morning.

Unlike the last time when we had limited time and materials and could only use quick-made ones, this time we made almost all the ingredients for the sugar water ourselves. The coconut milk was made from the flesh of old coconuts, and the milk jelly was made in three flavors, including the black tea milk jelly made from the black tea sent by Wen Yulan, the sour milk jelly, and the original milk jelly made from coconut milk and milk.

Not to mention sago, taro balls, candied red beans, candied mung beans, various kinds of adazi, and so on.

Wan Yuyue, Yun Yongyuan and Nie Xiuqi were originally watching with great interest, wanting to learn due to their occupational disease, but when they saw Adazi's third color and used the third juice, they couldn't stand it anymore.

“Junior sister, well, those who are capable should do more work. I’m sure I’m not cut out for this, so I’d better just focus on practicing cooking.” Yun Yongyuan bowed, took three or two steps back to his stove, and started cutting vegetables as if relieved of a heavy burden.

"I suddenly remembered what you said when you scolded me yesterday, saying that I was not doing things in a coordinated manner. I think you are right! I should make good use of the time to practice my beloved fried pork liver. It is you, my junior sister, who has foresight. I'm going!" Wan Yuyue ran away immediately after.

Zhao Xiaojing smiled and raised her eyebrows, looking at Nie Xiuqi, the last one who was still standing in front of her with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Then, I'll leave too." Nie Xiuqi touched his nose without giving any excuses.

Zhao Xiaojing laughed secretly at the air.

Okay, let’s all go. It’s better if everyone leaves. Then she can be lazy.

Zhao Xiaojing finished kneading the third adazi dough happily. Seeing that the three people were cooking with their backs to her, she peeled and seeded all the washed fruits, cut them into pieces or slices, and placed them in their respective deep plates.

Before half past ten, Da Zhuang arrived at the store carrying a fresh and plump fish, and Guo Gaoang followed behind him carrying a bag.

"Chef, I got you a 26-pound wild silver carp! Consider it your lunch payment!"

"You don't have to pay! You can come anytime and I'll treat you to a meal!" Zhao Xiaojing replied with a smile.

Seeing that Zhao Xiaojing was stirring the shaved ice and couldn't get her hands dirty, Yun Yongyuan hurried over and took out the big bucket under the pool where the fish were stored. "Did you catch such a big silver carp?"

The big barrel is usually used to raise mandarin fish and sea bass. Normally, it is more than enough to raise a few of them, but today, after the whole silver carp was put in, part of its head was still sticking out.
