Chapter 85 Overcrowded
Hearing this, Zhang Tianxiang's entire face darkened.

In the past, he only thought that the heart of the shopkeeper with a black heart was black, but he didn't expect this guy's mouth to be so bad.

"Shopkeeper, the competition is about to start. If you, the protagonist, don't make preparations, why are you grinding your teeth here with us idlers?" Zhang Tianxiang, who had a dark face, couldn't help complaining.

"The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuchs are in a hurry, and I am not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry? What preparations do you need to make for such a small scene?" Xu Yang replied with a smile.

Even though he said so in his mouth, what should be prepared still needs to be prepared.

Not to mention other things, at least the ingredients should be prepared in advance than the trial ones.

Xu Yang ran to the vegetable market and took a look around.

I bought a few ingredients in this simple vegetable market, and went outside the city to dig some yellow mud. Then I returned to the Return Inn, picked up a bag of charcoal, took the other three guys, and walked to Changhe County. Walk across the street.

Xu Yang looked confident, but the faces of the other three guys showed a bit of worry.

Xiao Yu glanced at the things they were carrying, and said worriedly: "Brother Yang, are the things we prepared too simple?"

Zhang Tianxiang, who had a lot of trust in Xu Yang, was not very calm at this time, "Yes, shopkeeper, this is not a joke, if we lose today's competition, then we brothers will be ashamed gone."

They made such a high profile yesterday, but if they lose too badly today, they will lose all face.

Of course, there was another sentence that Zhang Tianxiang held back in his heart and didn't say it.

If you lose the competition, it is not only a matter of embarrassment, but also a loss of money.

He didn't want to take out the 40 taels of silver that he had just warmed up in his pocket to compensate others.

"Yes, Brother Yang, why don't we go back to the vegetable market again?" Er Dan also said.

"Hehe, you guys don't need to worry about it. To deal with an opponent at the level of Yuelai Restaurant, these things are enough." Xu Yang comforted with a smile.

He is an outstanding graduate of the chef major of Xiandongfang, and he has traveled through the modern society where customers' mouths are kept in their mouths.

If he couldn't even deal with an indigenous chef in a small ancient county, he might as well beat him to death with that piece of tofu he just bought.

Of course, if there are any high-end ingredients in this vegetable market, he doesn't mind buying some as a spare.

But the crux of the problem is that in this society where most people are satisfied with self-sufficiency, if you want to buy rare and high-end ingredients in a small county where you can't even buy seasonings, you must have good ingredients. luck.

It's a pity that Xu Yang's luck today is not very good.

In addition to the poultry, fish and some common vegetables that are sold every day in the vegetable market, there is only one wild quail left, which is regarded as a relatively high-end game.

But Zhang Tianxiang was still not at ease, he said earnestly: "Shopkeeper, you once said that humility makes people progress, and pride makes people lag behind. At critical moments, you can't be proud and complacent."

Today's competition is a big matter related to face and money in his pocket, Zhang Tianxiang feels that he can't be too cautious.

It's a pity that Xu Yang was not moved at all.

He laughed and scolded: "Stop talking about those useless things, kid. If I lose my confidence, I will send you to compete later?"

Zhang Tianxiang immediately chose to shut up.

No matter how many faults there are in this unscrupulous shopkeeper, in terms of cooking skills, even with his eyes closed, he is ten thousand times better than him.

When they arrived at the intersection in Changhe County, they were shocked by the sight in front of them.

I saw this familiar cross street, which was already densely packed with people.

Men, women, old, young, missing arms and legs, you name it.

"My mother, why are there so many people around here?" Erdan asked in surprise.

At this time, Zhang Tianxiang also widened his eyes and said: "I said why there were not many people on the way here. It turns out that everyone has come here."

Xu Yang was also a little speechless. He didn't expect that a simple cooking competition could attract so many people's attention.

But thinking of his parents' generation in the previous life, in order to go to a nearby town to watch a black-and-white movie, Xu Yang felt relieved that he could walk back and forth for several hours.

It is the nature of Chinese people to love to watch the excitement, no matter what dynasty or generation they are in.

Especially in this era when there is a serious lack of entertainment programs, any disturbance will immediately attract a large crowd of onlookers.

Competitions like theirs involving a bet of 300 taels of silver are even more eye-catching.

When this news was just spread out yesterday, many people decided to come and watch it.

After the hard-working publicity of some caring people, this story was spread ten or ten times, and after only one night, this matter was almost reaching the point of becoming a household name in Changhe County.

In this way, not to mention the ordinary people who like to watch the excitement, even the officials and gentlemen working in the yamen were shocked by this incident.

No, the policemen and servants who were on duty in the county government today were sent to the cross streets early in the morning to maintain order.

Xie Butou, who was instructing the yamen servants to maintain the order of the scene, happened to see Xu Yang and others walking out from the alley.

He ran in front of Xu Yang in three steps at a time, wiped off his sweat and said, "Brother Xu, you've come, let's go, I'll take you inside first."

He really loves and hates this kid Xu Yang now.

This kid is a nice guy, but he's too capable of tossing around.

The day before yesterday, I had a fight with those guys from the Shahe gang, and I did this again today.

Tossing back and forth like this, he, the head catcher who works in the yamen, is not only physically tired, but also mentally tired.

No, those guys who waited around the intersection early in the morning to watch the excitement saw that Xu Yang, the master of the competition, had never appeared, and they made a lot of noise for it.

If Xu Yang and the others don't show up again, Butou Xie feels that he will soon be unable to suppress those booing guys.

Due to the large number of onlookers, even with Xie Butou opening the way, Xu Yang and the others struggled to squeeze in from the crowd.

Fortunately, there were police officers coming here early in the morning to maintain order. Although the intersection was overcrowded, there was still a large open space among the crowd for them to compete.

A group of people from Yuelai Restaurant have been waiting here for a long time.

Cai Guanshi, who was still speechless by Zhang Tianxiang yesterday, became arrogant again today.

Seeing that Xu Yang and the others arrived late, he immediately laughed and said, "Hey, you guys finally showed up? I thought you sneaked back to the countryside overnight."

 Thank you for your reward, and thank you brother for your support.

  In addition, I would like to thank all book friends for their support. It is your encouragement that gives Yunfei the motivation to move on.
