delicious little cook

Chapter 22 It may be another tough battle

"When Mengmei's sweet and sour live fish was presented, did you see the expressions of the masters trying it?"

"Of course, they are all satisfied and eat happily, so she is the number one, isn't it?"

"So, that's the key to tomorrow's tough fight."

Lu Doudou rolled his eyes and shook his head honestly, "I don't understand."

Bai Kou pursed her lips and smiled, reaching out and tapping the tip of Lu Doudou's nose lightly.

"Didn't you see Mengmei enter Manager Wen's courtyard at noon?"

Lu Doudou stared blankly for two or three breaths, then suddenly came to his senses, and quickly covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes widened.

Bai Kou stood quietly, waiting for Lu Doudou to slowly recover by herself.

Lu Doudou took a few deep breaths and felt much better. She put down her hands and said in a voice so low that she could barely hear, "Did Mengmei hook up with Manager Wen? Did Mr. Wen teach her that dish?"

Bai Kou gave a thumbs up.

Lu Doudou suddenly panted again, and his face gradually turned pale.

"Boss Wen gave us half a day off, and now he must be giving special training to the chefs! It's over, what shall we do tomorrow!?"

"I don't know." Bai Kou sighed, and stood with his hands folded against the wall, "Boss Wen is most familiar with the tastes of the masters, and with his guidance, there will definitely be a few capable strongmen among the third-class chefs. And these people will be loyal to Director Wen in the future.”

"Mengmei is sure to win. Does she want to be the leader of us newcomers?"

"She is the number one in today's competition. If Director Wen says a few more words, her position in the kitchen will be stabilized. The old man will not bully her, but will only bully us. If she comes forward to uphold justice for us, we children will be in good hands." I will unknowingly regard her as the boss and obey her command."

"I don't like her, I don't care who is the boss except her." Lu Doudou took Bai Kou's arm, "It's best if you are."

Bai Kou patted Lu Doudou's hand lightly, "Don't digress, what will we do tomorrow?"

Lu Doudou's mouth narrowed, "I don't know! Do you have a solution?"

"I have no other choice." Bai Kou looked up at the sky and sighed, "Why don't you continue to bring out the alternative recipes?"

"Is it useful?"

"It's hard to say. There are only 30 places for third-class chefs. Now there are more than [-] people in the new and old third-class chefs. This is almost half of the ratio. How many of our twelve newcomers can squeeze in? It really counts." not come out."

"Since extending the head is a knife, and retracting the head is also a knife, then the only thing to do is to stiffen the neck." Lu Doudou clenched his fists with both hands to encourage himself.

"Yeah, that's all there is to it, do your best."

Bai Kou stood up straight, and the two of them held hands and went back to the courtyard to rest.

-

There was nothing to do that night, the twelve winning apprentices ate their food for the first time and threw down their bowls and left. While the sky was still bright, they boiled hot water in the kitchen and carried buckets back to the courtyard to wipe themselves.

After dark, everyone went to bed early to recharge their batteries for tomorrow's most important game. In the dead of night, on the bunk in the West Squatter, Mengmei tiptoedly dressed and went to the ground, left the small courtyard, and ran to the courtyard of Wengu Mountain .

As soon as the two of them met, the fire started to burn, and they rolled from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, and then back to the head of the bed, sweating profusely and passionately.

Mengmei was panting delicately, tears streaming down her face, lamenting that Wen Gushan was too nostalgic for the past, and treated the old man better than her newcomer.

In the midst of passion, Wen Gushan was seduced by her and almost ejaculated prematurely. Finally, he held back, lying next to Mengmei's ear, and told her a new recipe. It might not make her take the first place again, but it was guaranteed to become an official cook.

Mengmei's eyeballs rolled, and she burst into tears, and Wen Gushan couldn't bear the watery eyes with tears, and she blew out thousands of miles.

After getting the new recipe, Mengmei happily dressed and left. Wen Gushan was lying on the bed and was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, he heard the door of the small courtyard creak softly, and a footstep different from Mengmei walked in. into the house.

The one who came in was a woman in her 20s, full of the charm of a mature woman. Standing at the door of the bedroom, she smelled the unique smell in the room that had not yet dissipated, and walked towards the bed with a smile.

"Boss Wen, it's been a long night, isn't it boring to be alone? Do you want someone to accompany you?"

Wen Gushan narrowed his eyes and grinned, and lifted a corner of the quilt.

Another round of bed wars began.

Early the next morning, Wen Gushan woke up from his dream alone. When he got out of bed, he felt soreness in his waist and knees, and he had to lament his age.

Bai Kou and the others came to the kitchen early, but they were one step too late. The old chefs occupied the kitchen firmly and did not give the newcomers a chance.

No way, everyone just sat in the yard boredly, waiting for the breakfast time to end.

Same as yesterday, after breakfast, the new and old third-class chefs were taken to the competition venue, and the kitchen started to prepare the ingredients.

Bai Kou walked all the way, memorizing the route all the way, curious about how big this Duke's mansion is.

As they walked, the team stopped, but they didn't arrive. Instead, they were led into a small garden. There was a rockery pavilion in the garden for people to rest, but they couldn't leave.

Obviously this was quarantined again, everyone got together in groups of three or four, discussed, and speculated whether there was a more novel topic for today's competition.

It was already at this point, there was no point in being impatient, Bai Kou found a shady rockery cave, and sat on a small protruding rock to rest.

There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and if there is no road, a road must be opened.

Lu Doudou walked around the garden several times before finally finding Bai Kou in the belly of the rockery.

"Are you playing hide-and-seek? Are you too good at hiding?"

"It's hot, it's cool in here." Bai Kou frowned and looked at the sunlight outside, "What can I do for you?"

"I just eavesdropped on the chatting of the old chefs. Manager Wen and the stewards really taught them a lot of dishes."

"The kitchen doesn't like us newcomers."

"Yeah, I feel it too." Lu Doudou stood against the cold mountain wall, the coolness of the stone spread to her body, and let out a comfortable breath.

"It's getting worse. If after this competition, there are more old people than newcomers, the newcomers may become the scapegoat."

Bai Kou suddenly remembered that when he thought that the third young master was a servant, he sneaked into the kitchen at night to eat supper, and asked Wen Gushan if he was against the idea of ​​recruiting newcomers into the kitchen.

"Bai Kou, where do you think we will be sent if we fail? Will we be sold?"

"I don't know, we are worth so much money, and we were eliminated. Who is willing to take over? Maybe others think we are so bad."

"that's true."

Lu Doudou didn't speak any more, and Bai Kou didn't want to say anything more, so the two fell silent and stayed in the cool rockery for a nap, until they called everyone outside to gather and then walked out slowly.
