Chapter 129 Unexpected Visitor
"Xu Qing, thank you for these words."

Lei Hua said solemnly to Xu Qing.

She became an examiner hoping to see more interesting dishes and more interesting chefs.

She holds a fair concept in the assessment of top chefs in order to ensure that every effort they make will not be in vain and to live up to those excellent and exquisite dishes.

Faced with the extremely difficult task of “Jue Wei”, these outstanding chefs will certainly put in all their efforts, give their best, and even surpass their own limits, in order to strive to climb towards the unreachable lofty goal of “Jue Wei”.

As an examiner, her job is to ensure that all their hard work is judged fairly.

Even if she is the only one involved, she will never give in on this one point!

At this moment, the haze that weighed on her heart was swept away.

These chefs fearlessly challenge the impossible "taste" and regard this daunting challenge as fun.

And she was only facing Chef Long and Yao Ye, so what was there to be afraid of?
It is indeed difficult to contend against these two people.

But precisely because it is difficult, it is interesting!

Lei Hua's heart was filled with long-lost passion and enthusiasm. She was not just an examiner, but also a comrade-in-arms fighting together with these candidates.

Xu Qing was completely confused.

Jiang Cheng and the other four were even more confused.

Even the examiner thanked Xu Qing. Could it be that there was some deeper meaning in Xu Qing's words that they hadn't figured out?
The four of them began to think quickly.

Lei Hua suppressed her thoughts for the time being and continued her work as an examiner. She said, "The topic has been announced. The formal examination will be held in three days, just like the first test. You only have half a day to prepare. Bring all the necessary equipment to the re-examination room before dusk. You can prepare the ingredients yourself or use the ingredients provided by the examination. The ingredients we provide are of excellent quality, so you don't need to worry about that. Until the results of the re-examination are announced, you cannot leave the examination room. Once you leave without permission, you will be deemed to have waived your rights. That's all. Any questions?"

Five of them shook their heads together.

Lei Hua's expression eased a little, and she said, "Very good, go back and prepare. I sincerely look forward to your masterpiece."

"Yes, thank you, examiner."

Lei Hua walked out of the room first. She had to talk to Chef Long again.

After Xu Qing and the others left the examination room, they also went back to make final preparations.

Xu Qing returned to Yangquan Restaurant. Master Luo Tian knew the rules of the re-examination and did not ask too many questions. He just took out all kinds of ingredients and seasonings collected by Yangquan. Among them were not only precious treasures that were not available on the market, but also top-quality soy sauce that had been stored in the cellar for more than ten years. Each drop of this soy sauce was truly worth a thousand gold. It was estimated that this small jar in front of him could buy the entire Yangquan Restaurant.

The big table in front of you is the most valuable treasure of Yangquan Restaurant, and also the accumulation of decades of a large restaurant.

Master Luo Tian said, "Take all of these and see which one you can use."

Xu Qing shook his head. These things were too valuable. He couldn't empty out the entire Yangquan just for the top chef assessment.

Xu Qing simply picked up the small jar of soy sauce and said, "It's enough as long as I have it."

Xu Qing looked at the small jar in front of him, suddenly slapped his head, ran back to the room, and took out the small clay jar under the bed.

Master Luo Tian saw Xu Qing walking back with the small earthenware jar as if it were a treasure, and said unhappily, "All the treasures in Yangquan are right in front of you, and you don't care about them. What's so special about this small jar?"

Xu Qing said mysteriously: "This is also a rare treasure, and there is only one jar of this in the world."

Hearing Xu Qing say this, Master Luo Tian's curiosity was aroused.

Xu Qing carefully placed the earthenware jar on the table and gently opened the lid.

Suddenly a strong aroma of wine wafted into my nose.

Master Luo Tian took a deep breath in ecstasy, "What a good wine! I didn't expect you to have such a good wine hidden. Why didn't you take it out earlier?"

"This is not wine."

Xu Qing said as he carefully poured a few drops into the small dish.

On the white jade porcelain plate, the bright yellow liquid was clear and shiny, glowing with an oily luster in the sunlight.

Master Luo Tian was stunned. He leaned over with his nose almost touching the porcelain plate. He looked at it several times before he said in disbelief, "Is this oil?" "Yes, it is oil." Xu Qing nodded.

If he hadn't seen the earthenware jar filled with soy sauce, he would have almost forgotten the jar of oil given to him by Grandpa Wan.

The topic of this re-examination is "Absolute Taste". If we only talk about the oil, this can of oil can definitely be called absolutely delicious. There is only one such can in the world and no other.

Master Luo Tian exclaimed: "Look at this fragrance, this color. The color is like sunlight, clear as water, and fragrant like aged wine. How can someone in the world make such oil? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe it. How did you get this oil?"

Xu Qing said: "It was obtained by chance. It is the life's work of an oil-making master."

"Amazing, really amazing. There are such talented people in the world. With this can of oil, I believe you will be able to win this test."

"hope so."

Xu Qing sighed softly.

That’s “Juewei”, and there’s a chef named Long sitting on it. It’s not only about satisfying the requirements of “Juewei”, but also about satisfying Chef Long’s taste.

Even with Yangquan's collection and Mr. Wan's hard work, Xu Qing still felt uneasy.

"What do you think about the main ingredient?" Master Luo Tian asked.

"I want to use three-yellow chicken." Xu Qing said.

"Three Yellow Chickens, they are indeed of excellent quality. But your opponent is the chef of Feihuang Tower. In terms of the quality of chickens, there may not be any better chickens than those bred by Feihuang Tower in Guangzhou, no, in the whole country."

Xu Qing nodded and said, "I understand, so I want to make up for the shortcomings in other ways."

Master Luo Tian nodded, "It's up to you to decide."

At this moment, I suddenly heard a burst of noise coming from outside the door.

Xu Qing and Master Luo Tian hurried over. Before they got there, they saw the waiter running over happily, panting and saying, "Master, it's... Ku Rou! Ku Rou is back!"

"what!"

Master Luo Tian and Xu Qing were surprised and happy, and they hurried to the door.

Then I saw Ku Rou surrounded by a crowd, looking dusty.

"Kuro!"

Xu Qing shouted loudly.

Ku Rou turned around, ran over in surprise, patted Xu Qing's shoulder excitedly, and said, "I heard everything. Congratulations on passing the preliminary examination for the top chef. I heard that Chef Long is also one of the examiners this time. You are really amazing!"

"Thank you. But aren't you looking for the black-bone chicken, Kurou? How did you know about the special chef assessment?"

Ku Rou smiled and said, "This assessment is not limited to Guangzhou. Even in Hubei, everyone is discussing it. I just found out about it now. I heard that the theme of this assessment is chicken?"

"Yes."

"When does the retest start?"

Xu Qing said: "I will go to the examination room tonight."

Kurou heaved a sigh of relief, "It seems I came at the right time."

What is the right time?
Xu Qing was about to ask when he saw Ku Rou untie the package from the horse, revealing the contents.

It was a completely black bird, staring at them.

Xu Qing widened his eyes and asked in disbelief: "Could this be..."

"Yes, it's the black-bone chicken!" Ku Rou said proudly.
