Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 301 301. Written Exam
Time passed unknowingly, and Uncle Badong quickly sent out all the steamed buns and soy milk in his hand, and finally even sent out all the biscuits in his hand.

Although Li Xiao could see that many candidates' expressions changed instantly when they ate the buns and soy milk.

But since then, I haven't seen anyone criticize and criticize Uncle Badong's steamed buns and soy milk for being unpalatable.

Looking at Ba Dong's smiling face satisfied with 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 Ba Dong walking to her side with a smile on his face, Li Xiao also responded with a smile.

Ba Dong sat on the bench beside Li Xiao familiarly. He looked Li Xiao up and down and asked:
"Are you twenty this year? Why did you come to participate in the competition so early?"

Li Xiao smiled and nodded:

"I'm getting ready for 22. I didn't plan to come. I just happened to have an invitation from the Chefs Association of Guangdong Province, so I decided to drop by."

???

The smile on Ba Dong's original face froze for a moment, then he turned his head in astonishment, his round eyes fixed on Li Xiao's, as if he wanted to see that he was joking.

However, seeing Li Xiao's sincere eyes, Ba Dong knew that the other party should not be joking.

But how is this possible?

Is there such a big difference between the local chefs' association and the capital's chefs' association?
He has been in the capital for so many years, but he has never heard that the Chefs Association would invite chefs to participate in the competition.

Moreover, he has been participating for so many years, and 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 Ba Dong could ask, there was a sneer from the side.

The tone of the other party is full of sarcasm, and the voice is very loud, not afraid that the people around will hear it

"I'm going, I really know how to brag, and I was invited by the Guangdong Chefs Association?? Are you trying to laugh me to death so as to reduce one competitor?"

"Is there any friend from Guangdong here to see, who is this elder brother personally invited by the association?"

Li Xiao frowned slightly, and looked towards the speaker.

What appeared in front of his eyes was a sharp-billed monkey cheek, who was only about 1 meters short by visual inspection.

When speaking, the big yellow teeth of the mouth are open, and the eyes are constantly wandering around.

If it weren't for the chefs here, Li Xiao would have thought that he was a scammer who escaped from somewhere.

No, he quickly realized that his thinking was too narrow.

Although most of them are chefs here, who said that chefs can't also be scammers?
Sensing the indistinct eyes looking at her from all around, Li Xiao's eyes were a bit unfriendly, and she communicated with Ba Dong in a soft voice here.

It didn't hinder anyone and didn't offend anyone. What does the other party mean by being loud and blind?
Hearing the other party's tone, it was obvious that he was full of disdain and ridicule towards himself. It seemed that he didn't believe that he was invited by the Chefs Association.

He was about to stand up and confront the other party, but he was quickly pulled down by Pa Dong next to him. Ba Dong hurriedly put his mouth next to Li Xiao's ear and whispered:

"Your brother, don't pay attention to such people. There is no need to get angry with these people. It is really unnecessary."

"The dog bit you, can't you bite the dog back? Are you right?"

"Forget it, forget it, let's pretend we didn't hear it."

Listening to Uncle Badong's whispered dissuasion in your ear, you loosen your clenched fist slightly, and you really don't need to pay too much attention to this kind of mad dog.

This kind of person has too much negative energy, looks for a sense of presence everywhere, and barks and barks around when he sees something that doesn't suit him.

If I fight with him, it will suit the other party's wishes.

Li Xiao looked at the other party with disdainful eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then he followed Padang's pull and sat back on the bench.

However, he underestimated the disgust of the other party. Seeing Li Xiao ignore him, Da Huangya became even more arrogant.

Just listen to him saying loudly to the surroundings:

"Is it because you are used to bragging and bragging that you think you are really awesome?"

"I don't even look at what this place is. The annual star chef selection scene, someone dares to brag here, really reckless?"

Hearing that the other party was still chattering, Li Xiao wanted to turn around and stare at the other party.

But Badong firmly pressed his shoulder, he was a little surprised when he felt the strength coming from his shoulder.

You know, your physique is much stronger than ordinary people.

However, Uncle Badong, who was in his 40s, was able to firmly press his shoulders, making it impossible for him to turn his body all at once.

This kind of arm and wrist strength is not what ordinary people should have.

This made Li Xiao more and more curious about Ba Dong's identity, although the chef often has to stir the pot, and his strength is a little stronger than that of ordinary people.

However, the opponent's current arm strength is obviously not what ordinary people should have.

But everyone has their own secrets. Maybe Uncle Badong was a weightlifter or something like a dragon king.

It was only after retiring that he became a chef, which can explain why the opponent is so strong and the cooking is so unpalatable.

After all, the major is not the right one, and he is not from a major, so he depends on his hobbies and his own thinking.

Once one's own talent is low, it is easy to fall into a vicious circle where one cannot succeed no matter how hard one tries.

Originally, it was reasonable to say that as long as no one took care of a person's one-man show, he would soon be unable to continue singing.

But there are really many boring people, one by one came to the examination room early but had nothing to do.

Just seeing that there is excitement to watch, these people don't want the farce to stop at all.

Seeing that Li Xiao was unwilling to talk to Da Huangya, several people around Da Huangya who obviously knew him also booed.

"That's right, you don't even need to check where you are if you're a braggart?"

"Bragging at the venue of the star chef competition? Don't you want to see how much you weigh?"

"Come on, are there any brothers from Guangdong? Stand up and see what the origin of this great god is?"

"I'm from Guangdong, and I said I've never heard of such a character."

"I checked this year's Billboard, and there is no such guy at all."

"I know all the young people who participated in Guangdong this year, but there are no such people?"

"No, why does this guy look familiar to me?"

"Hey, when you talk about me like this, it seems that I have seen it somewhere?"

Originally, everyone's tone was full of ridicule and ridicule, but after hearing some of them say something familiar to Li Xiao.

The jokes around immediately decreased a lot. You must know that there are tens of thousands of chefs in Dahan Kingdom, which can make other chefs feel familiar.

Then the other party must be a chef with a certain reputation, and the society is very realistic.

When the wall falls and everyone pushes it, if you are down, everyone will fall into trouble, cynicism and ridicule.

But if others find out that this down-and-out guy actually has a strong backing, or has strong strength himself, then everyone will be cautious.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little weird. After all, the person I laughed at just now may have a deep background and strong strength.

Those who just opened their mouths to laugh became cautious and careful.

However, this weird atmosphere didn't last long. A fat man smiled at everyone with his mobile phone and said:

"Looking at all of you nervous, I said why are you so familiar? Isn't this a gourmet anchor? I saw him doing a live broadcast on the kitten live broadcast and just went to the store. Why are you nervous?"

Everyone heard the words, looked at each other in blank dismay, and then burst out laughing.

Da Huangya, who was startled just now, was the most exaggerated. He pointed to Li Xiao's nose and said:
"Hey, I thought it was some serious person, but it turned out to be a live broadcaster?"

"Your Guangdong Chefs Association wants you to promote their association on the live broadcast. I thought it was such an awesome character!"

Looking at a group of people, every word you say, there is a tendency to not give up until Li Xiao is trampled into the mud.

Ba Dong couldn't sit still anymore, he quickly pulled Li Xiao up 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 when he was young.

You must know that even if it was a fight, with so many people watching the excitement, even one punch by one person could make Li Xiao lie on the ground unable to move.

He continued to comfort him:
"Little brother, don't listen to them. Let's go, they are a bunch of mad dogs."

However, I don't know who heard Ba Dong say that they are a group of mad dogs, and these people quit immediately.

A burly man who was standing next to Da Huangya just now stood in the middle of their path, and said in a very dissatisfied tone:
"I also said that the big man is so arrogant, dare to call everyone crazy?"

"It turned out to be the guy who just distributed buns everywhere. Birds of a feather really flock together, and people form groups."

"The steamed stuffed buns and soy milk are so unpalatable, you dare to send them out for others to eat. I really want to laugh my ass off."

The strong man's voice fell, and Ba Dong's face changed. He was about to refute something, but he heard whispers from around.

"I just said what's wrong with my sense of taste. It turns out it's really unpalatable."

"Please, the sugar in the soy milk doesn't seem to cost money. I really don't know how to cook it."

"The meat stuffing in the meat bun is also not good. I really don't know how to adjust the taste. It's too unpalatable."

"Meat is good meat, and beans are good beans, but they are spoiled by people who don't know how to do it."

"A chef who is still taking the one-star exam at an old age, he looks like a waste at first glance, and it's probably not too bad to mix with him."

The people around were getting worse and worse. After knowing that Li Xiao was an anchor, everyone's nervous expressions disappeared.

After all, everyone knows what a food anchor is.

Most of the food anchors are at best the level of ordinary chef school graduates, and the gap between them and those who are preparing to take the one-star chef exam is too big.

Some gourmet anchors who explore restaurants only have one mouth to eat, so if he is asked to cook, he can barely make tomato and egg soup.

Such people came to participate in the competition, it was simply a joke, some people even felt that they were insulted by Li Xiao.

"It's true that any cat or dog can come to compete now."

"Who says it's not? After all, to qualify for the competition, you only need to be recommended by three one-star chefs, and you can buy it on the black market for a little money."

"I suggest that those people should leave early by themselves, and don't be ashamed if they can't cook a single dish by then."

Suddenly there was another burst of laughter from around.

Li Xiao felt the strength of the hand holding his shoulder increase unconsciously, and he slightly turned his head to look at Pa Dong's face.

The other party's face was full of anger and shame, but he did not argue with others.

Instead, he tightly hugged Li Xiao's shoulders, preparing to bypass the strong man and walk towards the teaching building.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, the people who had just had fun were unwilling to let them go, so 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 speak loudly just now? Why are you so cowardly?"

Li Xiao was speechless when he saw the big palm in front of him, when did he get so angry?
Why did I provoke these monsters when I chatted with Ba Dong in a low voice?
Li Xiao always thought that things like trolls would only appear on the Internet, after all, the Internet is a place outside the law in the eyes of many people.

A group of keyboard warriors can scold them as much as they want, because no one can catch these keyboard warriors.

It was the first time for him to meet so many disgusting guys in reality.

Of course, in reality, there are not so many brainless trolls.

Most of the people who taunted and ridiculed were Da Huangya's friends or dog legs clinging to Da Huangya's side.

After all, although Da Huangya is just an ordinary chef, his elder brother is not.

Da Huangya's name is Pei Qiangdong. If you just say him, not many people will know him, but once he tells his elder brother's name, many people in the industry will know him.

His eldest brother is Pei Qianghu, a five-star chef.

Both the network and the wrist are quite powerful, and he invested with others early on, and opened up a material supply channel in partnership.

So a large number of guys who couldn't cling to Pei Qianghu gathered around Pei Qiangdong.

Trying to get some benefits and help from Pei Qianghu's younger brother by clinging to him.

And this Pei Qianghu also loves his ineffective younger brother, after all, he was born by a mother.

Although the younger brother is neither high nor low, it can be seen that the younger brother is respectful to him, and the two elderly people in the family are all taken care of by the younger brother and sister-in-law.

Therefore, Pei Qianghu takes good care of his younger brother, and he will give some sweetness to those who support his younger brother.

That's why so many people gathered around Pei Qiangdong, and these people, in order to please him, of course it's what the master said, and what they doglegs would do.

That's why there was this scene of people besieging Li Xiao and Ba Dong, 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 bustle stood up from the surroundings and rushed towards the teaching building.

After all, they came to take the exam, not to watch the excitement. Now that the exam was about to take place, of course they didn't have the mood to watch the excitement.

Li Xiao was stunned when he heard the ringtone and sighed softly, forget it, forget it, and don't bother to argue with these people.

Ba Dong also heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the alarm, and he was also afraid that there might be some conflicts between everyone.

The current situation is the best. Although he has been said a few words, he will not lose a piece of meat.

A farce, ending without a problem in the end, is the best result.

The strong man also returned to him under Pei Qiangdong's signal.

Pei Qiangdong looked around and found that the audience had left, so he lost the interest to continue playing tricks on the two little mice in front of him.

Li Xiao and Ba Dong stood there without moving, and watched Da Huangya walking towards the teaching building surrounded by a group of people.

When Da Huangya and the others walked away, Li Xiao and Ba Dong looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces, and hurried towards their respective examination rooms.

The process of the exam was very smooth, and the exam questions were very simple, and they were all general knowledge questions.

And Li Xiao didn't care too much about the score in this round. After all, 100 questions only accounted for 10 points, and an average of one question was only 0.1 points.

The others obviously had the same idea as Li Xiao, if not all subjects must be present.

Otherwise, the exam qualification will be canceled directly in the name of absence, and I am afraid that many people will give up the written exam directly.

The written test in the morning lasted a total of two hours. The test questions with more than 80 points were all multiple-choice questions, and the remaining 20-point test questions were just so-called application questions.

It took Li Xiao only half an hour to finish answering the questions. After checking it carefully, he put down his pen to make sure there were no omissions.

There should be no mistakes in the multiple choice questions, but the 4 application questions may be deducted points, because it is the first time for him to take the test and he does not know the standard of the test.

However, he didn't care too much about the right or wrong of the application questions, after all, the design scores were not many.

Seeing more and more people turn in their papers and leave, he also handed in the test papers.

Although it is not possible to miss the exam here, it does allow early submission of papers.

Leaving the examination room safely, I didn't meet Uncle Badong on the way, nor did I meet the yellow-toothed monster who was causing trouble just now.

Back at the hotel, I brought the live broadcasting tools.

These two days are relatively free, after all, the official exam will be taken the day after tomorrow.

He will not have time to broadcast live the whole day after tomorrow, so he has to live broadcast more correspondingly in these two days.

He glanced at the time, it was a bit late, it was almost 1:00.

However, no one seems to stipulate that the food live broadcast cannot be started at 1:00 noon.

Live broadcast needs to choose the most popular time as much as possible, this is for those newcomers to small anchors.

A big anchor like Li Xiao with only more than 400 million fans will have a large number of viewers pouring in whenever he broadcasts live.

Not to mention the live broadcast at [-] p.m., even at [-] a.m., there are still a lot of people.

He opened the phone's interface, clicked on Kitten Live, and started today's live broadcast.

The marketing news was quickly pushed out from the background, and the number of people gradually increased.

But within three to four minutes, the number of people exceeded 4.

While greeting the audience, Li Xiao got into the AutoNavi car that had been ordered a long time ago.
