The gate of the banquet hall was opened. Waiters dressed in black vests and white uniforms stood outside the banquet hall orderly. After hearing the instructions, they slowly walked in with golden trays, carrying all kinds of precious red wine. They carefully placed the red wine on a long-shaped table. Bottles of red wine were covered with golden cloths to cover the age and birthplace written on it. There were thirty-six bottles in total.

The general manager glanced at the list and said, “The first contestant is Jack.”

Footsteps came from outside the door. A graceful, gentlemanly old man, dressed in a straight black suit and white gloves, walked in with a professional smile on his face. Standing in the center, he nodded slightly towards Jiang Tianxing.

Jiang Tianxing smiled back at him.

Seeing the waiter coming, the restaurant manager immediately glanced at the chief chef!

The chief chef nodded slightly and immediately stood up, turned around and strode out. The assistant chefs who had been waiting outside the door asked nervously, “What are we going to cook today? It was said that this was the highest level of the waiter examination. Should we also make something high-end? ”

The chief chef didn’t say a word. He strode forward to the kitchen at the back of the banquet hall and pushed open the door. Twenty chefs were standing in different positions, dressed in white cook clothes, waiting for the order. But the chief chef just walked to the cauldron, grabbed three eggs, and twisted the furnace. The blue fire was lit up.

All the chefs looked at him together.

The chief chef neatly picked up a big spoon in silence, scooped a little edible oil on the high pot, and shelled three eggs with one hand. Then he immediately picked up the pot, tossed the egg in the air, and poured the tender omelet into a white porcelain dish. He then dropped a few soy sauce, and put a few coriander on the half cooked egg. He wiped the oil stains on the edge of the dish with a white cloth, and quickly walked out with the plate in the shocked eyes of other cooks.

The chefs looked at each other and shouted in surprise, “Scrambled egg?”

The chief chef quickly walked into the banquet hall with the plate of Scrambled egg. He placed it on a round table, served a cup of clear water next to it.

Seeing the plate of scrambled egg, Jack said with a little surprise, “Mon Dieu!”

Dongying ignored the astonished eyes of Jack, but smiled, “Let’s welcome Lawrence.”

As soon as the door of the banquet hall opened, an old man of about seventy years old, dressed in a neat black uniform of the hotel, wearing a golden hotel badge, came in gracefully with a smile. His silver hair was combed behind his head and his eyes were bright.

All the hotel staff members in the banquet hall stood up, smiling and clapping.

Lawrence waved his hands to greet everyone, then strode to Jiang Tianxing and said with a smile, “Mr. Jiang …”

Jiang Tianxing stood up with a smile, buckled his suit, and then reached out his hand and said respectfully to Lawrence, “Thank you for participating in this competition…”

Lawrence said with a bit of regret in standard Mandarin, “I have used my sense of smell, which almost failed overnight, for seventy years. It was reminding me to use my remaining life to do something for the world of wine. I hope I can select the most outstanding waiter in the country today.”

Jiang Tianxing immediately smiled and said, “Thank you for your efforts in the hotel for so many years. When you return home, please take care of your body. We’ll wait for you to come back.”

Smiling together, Lawrence released his hand. He first glanced at the Scrambled egg on the table, then he waved his hand and said, “GOOD!”

After speaking, he sat down on the seat below Jiang Tianxing’s and smiled at the contestant.

“Let’s begin…” Dongying clapped her hand gently.

The waiters in the West Restaurant were preparing for a long time. They wore their white gloves up and opened each bottle of red wine at the same time. Instantly, the entire banquet hall was filled with a strong fragrance of red wine.

Jack, the first contestant, came to the plate of Scrambled Egg first. He checked its color, picked up the silver chopsticks, and tasted a little of egg. After tasting it carefully, he came to the red wine bottles and picked up the stoppers to smell the wine.

Dongying instructed the three secretaries to invite the next contestant in.

The female contestant walked in first. She looked at the egg on the plate with astonishment. Unlike Jack, she came to the red wine first, and picked up stoppers to smell the wine.

The third waiter came in as well…

And the fourth also followed in.

Dongying picked up the folder and shouted softly, “The fifth contestant, Tang Miaoyu.”

Jiang Tianxing’s eyes slightly narrowed and he remained silent.
