Of the twenty-five candidates, a total of eighteen were promoted, which was the largest number in history. When the media reported this, Mr. Chen felt sad.
Entering the senior technician examination, there were eighteen people who had advanced to the advanced level and had obtained the second-level certificate before. There were three people who joined the first-level certificate examination team, including Erha.
“Master,” Erha shouted to Su Yemu from a distance, pulling Xiaonan over in one breath, followed by Yuan Ying and another soldier.
“Congratulations, Master, for winning the first place.”
Xiaonan rushed up to Su Yemu with No. 2 in her arms and said, “Brother, you are so awesome.”
Su Yemu touched Xiaonan’s head and said, “Brother will get the first place.”
Mai Tian and Erha said in unison: “I will take second place.”
“I…I…”
“I…I…”
Well, the two started fighting.
“Congratulations on winning the first place. I’m really looking forward to what kind of dishes you will come up with in the first-level exam.” Ryan slowly stretched his head from behind Su Yemu and smiled at Su Yemu.
Kai and Erha pointed at Ryan: “Why are you here?”
Ryan replied: “Don’t worry, I’m not here to see you, I’m here to see Yemu compete.”
Erha didn’t believe it and shouted that Ryan must be sent by his father to monitor him, so he told him to leave quickly.
Yuan Ying and another soldier saluted Ryan: “Your Highness Ryan.”
Su Yemu looked at Ryan and saw him laughing twice. Then he remembered what Mai Tian said to him when he took the Level 5 exam, “Sophie Hill is His Highness Lane’s fiancée’.
Su Yemu said that he was not surprised. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had become his disciple. This was not a big deal, but how could he attract these people? Was it because he had been working as an imperial chef for a long time in the 21st century and had become infected with dragon energy?
At this time, they were standing in the courtyard of the Chef Association. This group of people was being noisy, which attracted everyone’s attention. At the same time, everyone was secretly surprised. His Highness Ryan and His Highness Kai were all surrounding Su Yemu. Thinking about the Queen’s support yesterday, everyone began to speculate on Su Yemu’s identity.
Su Yemu didn’t notice this look, he was hungry; the first-level exam was scheduled to start at one o’clock in the afternoon, and the Chef Association had arranged lunch for the candidates. He had just left the examination room and hadn’t eaten yet!
So, Su Yemu dragged the group of people to the association canteen. After eating, he dragged the group of people back to the lounge. The media that had arrived were filming Su Yemu and the group of people.
Su Yemu, who won the first place with extremely high scores, was supposed to be the subject of the media’s shooting, but because of Kai and Ryan, he became the backdrop.
“Attention all chefs who have passed the Senior Technician Certificate. Please arrive at the A1 examination room before one o’clock. The examination will begin soon.”
The announcement sounded over the association. Su Yemu, who had just finished eating, could only stand up again and hand Xiaonan to Yuan Ying. Then, Su Yemu took Erha, Mai Tian and Kai into the examination room.
The A1 examination room was different from the previous examination room. It was an open examination room, similar to a small stage. The judges were in front, followed by a press box, and behind it was the audience seat. It was already full of people. The most surprising thing was Su Yemu unexpectedly saw many elites wearing military uniforms or looking like ordinary people sitting at the front.
Including General Gu, as well as Professor Li and Professor Kaman, Su Yemu intuitively felt that this was not a simple senior technician competition.
“Little Princess Sophie, come on, we support you, defeat Su Yemu! Take back the first place.” There was a sudden shout in the stadium, and the people behind the auditorium were jumping up and down like chicken blood, holding trumpet shouts.
Fans of Su Yemu were not happy. Fans of Kai and Erha saw their idols standing together with Su Yemu and whispering from time to time. Seeing that they were in a good relationship, they also wanted to help the situation. Fans on both sides immediately started shouting together.
“Play, come on, play, come on.”
The examination room suddenly became noisy.
Su Yemu looked towards the sound. In the middle, there were about twenty students in royal school uniforms and about twenty fans who Su Yemu didn’t recognize, waving to Su Yemu.
Su Yemu waved to them in response, raised his index finger and put it to his mouth to make a ‘shush’ sound. Su Yemu’s fans immediately fell silent.
Sophie’s fans were still shouting, and then a broadcast came: “Please keep quiet, otherwise we will have to ask those who are making the noise to leave.”
The broadcast was broadcasted three times before Sophie’s fans stopped.
Then the examiner came in and asked everyone to choose their positions. The twenty-one people were divided into four rows, and everyone wanted the three positions in the first row.
In the end, the front row was occupied by Erha, Kai, and Sophie. Su Yemu was accidentally drawn to the last position. He was also in the lowest position when he took the Level 5 exam, which could be regarded as a beginning and an end.
The judges entered the scene. Two old men whom Su Yemu didn’t know came in first, followed by Mr. Bai, President Qin, Esme, He Yunting, and His Majesty the Emperor.
The scene suddenly exploded. How could His Majesty the Emperor come? They hadn’t seen him appear even in the Master of Cooking competition!
And Erha’s face turned dark.
The judges took their seats, and then the live broadcast started. The audience came in and were shocked. What was going on? Military meeting? Why did they see so many people from the military?
Did they not wake up?
Mr. Bai was once the royal chef. Although Mr. Qin Ge was a member of the cabinet, he was also the president of the Culinary Association and Esme was a gourmet. It was not surprising that these three people appeared, but why did His Majesty the Emperor join in the fun? Who else? The marshal with four stars on his shoulders, He Yunting…
Everyone was unable to complain and said: Let’s just treat it like a military meeting! This is better for the heart.
Because the identities of the people who appeared were too shocking, and the information was constantly spreading, the exam had not even started yet, and there were already almost over 50 billion people, including many with IDs from outside the empire joining in, which alerted everyone in the Imperial Security Bureau.
A fierce first-level chef examination had begun. This time the test question was soup, and the point system was the same as the second-level examination, 1+3. Those who could enter the first-level exam were all people with some background. After the examiner finished speaking, everyone began to choose the ingredients they wanted.
Su Yemu originally planned to make beef soup, but he was really surprised when he saw water tofu. The association must have moved too quickly! Others were stunned when they saw the newly added ingredients. They looked at the names and recognized them one by one. When added together, they had no idea what they were.
Now that there was water tofu, Su Yemu changed his menu. Just like before, he selected the ingredients and announced the name of the dish, and then put it on the big screen.
The ingredients Su Yemu chose were a piece of water tofu, a chicken breast, a few soaked mushrooms, green vegetables, and bamboo shoots.
After the selection, Su Yemu reported the name of the dish. When the words “Wensi Tofu[1]” came out, the audience began to look forward to it.
What a literary name!
Thinking of the boiled cabbage in the morning, I found that the simpler the name, the more delicious the dish.
Cooking is getting more complicated!
After a long sentence, everyone fell silent; they had not yet recovered from the shock that the cabbage brought to them when it bloomed like a lotus.
Tofu? What is it? Why haven’t I heard of it?
The official website of the association introduced it as a soy product that breaks into pieces when pinched.
Not only tofu was added to the scene, but also new ingredients and sauces such as tofu skin and bean paste were added. Everyone in the live broadcast room began to discuss where these things came from? Never seen it before?
People who knew about it immediately advertised the ‘Blue Star Shopping Mall’, where it was sold! They were all foods that had been tested. Not only did they have a high safety index, but they also had high green pigment. They were so cheap that it made people want to cry.
Su Yemu first boiled the chicken soup in a casserole, then washed the ingredients and set them aside. It was fine.
Everyone: “!”
This is holding back the ultimate move.
So excited, so excited, Wensi Tofu, what kind of dish will it be? Looking forward to it.
The live broadcast room started to get excited, and the judges present were also looking forward to it. Seeing Su Yemu in a daze, they all wanted to go up and ask him what he was doing, why hadn’t it started yet.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes, when everyone saw Su Yemu moving, they breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they no longer had to wait. Their eyes were tired from staring.
He Yunting also turned away. He stared at Su Yemu for a long time without him even turning to look at him. He Yunting expressed doubts about the idiom of telepathy.
Su Yemu first cut the chicken breast into puree, then dissolved it with water, poured in the chicken soup, slowly dispersed it, and then skimmed off the chicken breast meat floating on top, leaving the whole chicken to continue stewing, and then added seasonings.
Nowadays, many people liked to add ham when making Wensi tofu. This was the most unorthodox way. The ham tasted too fresh and the tofu itself was bland. This could easily cover up the original taste of tofu, which was completely different from using pure chicken soup.
Then, Su Yemu took out the water tofu, removed the dough first, sprinkled a layer of water on the tofu, held down the tofu with his left hand, and began to quickly slice it with his right hand, cut it into sections, and sprinkled it with water to ensure that it would not stick to the knife.
Su Yemu’s complete movements appeared in front of everyone, and everyone was depressed. Was it chopped into pieces? Why were they all stuck together?
The knife skill is too fine, how could he cut it.
It feels very powerful, the knife is very fast, but why does it look like it’s rotten?
Regardless of whether it’s rotten or not, his hand on the tofu is so close to the knife, won’t he cut it?
I was horrified when I saw it, and I was afraid that he would cut his finger with a knife.
“What is Su Yemu doing? Cutting it like this? Can it be eaten?” His Majesty the Emperor tilted his head and spoke to He Yunting.
“Yes,” He Yunting stared at Su Yemu and said leisurely: “Don’t talk to me.”
His Majesty the Emperor: So angry! Do you really want to hit me?
His Majesty the Emperor turned his head and approached Bai Lao: “Teacher Bai, if Su Yemu cut it like this, does it look like it is for toothless old people to eat?”
Bai Lao: “Your Majesty, today’s human beings will not lose their teeth until they die.”
His Majesty the Emperor: Humph!
At this time, there was an uproar in the live broadcast room and the scene. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Su Yemu. After he cut the tofu vertically, he flattened the knife slightly, pressed the tofu lightly, and cut a row of ‘rotten’ pieces. The tofu tilted down, he washed the knife, sprinkled some water, and started cutting again.
Damn it, it was bad just now, now it’s all blurry.
Should I praise his knife skills at this time? The knife is so fast that it has a shadow.
Why to cut again? Didn’t you just cut it along the way?
Inexplicably worried, come on Bobo, I believe in you.
Haha, return the skill of the knife and cut the tofu into pieces, who can’t do it?
Hmph, Su Yemu’s previous episodes were nothing more than a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, we’ll see.
Our little princess is still awesome, the bird’s nest soup is so noble.
Everyone: “I want to vomit!”
After Su Yemu finished cutting the slices, he sprinkled them with water again, and then started cutting them into shreds. Experts watched the process, while laymen watched the excitement.
Mr. Bai was a little excited: “Mr. Qin, tell me, is it what I’m thinking?”
“No! How is it possible? Is it really possible?” Mr. Qin squinted his eyes and leaned forward, also looking excited: “Based on the current shape of the tofu, it is likely to be silk!”
The rhythmic sound of ‘dong…dong…dong’ echoed in the examination room. As Su Yemu’s tofu became shorter and shorter, everyone was inexplicably excited for some reason. They always felt that a miracle would happen next.
