Back to the Red Age

Chapter 40 The Bad Woman Comes

"Young man, don't be impulsive. This chef rating is a life-long matter, so you can't mess around."

Behind Qin Ming, a middle-aged and elderly man in a gray tunic suit dissuaded him with disapproval.

This man's status seemed to be quite high. After he opened his mouth, several people followed him.

"Master Wang, please stop trying to persuade me. This Master Qin Mingqin is an apprentice from Fengze Garden. He became a disciple of Lin Guodong as soon as he entered. He even got the recipe for his signature dish from Lin Guodong. His cooking skills are very good. Let’s all just wait and see.”

Everyone understood He Ming's words.

It turns out that Fengzeyuan’s white pork with garlic paste was made by Qin Ming.

Although there is some skill involved in that dish, isn't it just a fool's errand to try to pass the Level [-] Chef Examination based on this?
"You are that boy from the He family, right? I remember you. It's good to be able to take the exam so soon!"

Wang Daqing nodded to He Ming and stopped trying to persuade Qin Ming.

When everyone heard Wang Daqing greeting He Ming, they also glanced at He Ming.

To be remembered by Wang Daqing, even if this young man is not from a family of chefs, he is still related to them.

In short, He Ming's words can be believed.

Then there is something wrong with this young man.

Young people, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, it's okay, but if they use side tactics to get a small result, and even try to use it to mess up their ratings, everyone is ashamed.

For a moment, everyone looked at Qin Ming with disgust.

Qin Ming glanced at He Ming, lowered his head and signed in the staff book.

Before the results come out, no matter how much he explains, others will not believe him.

What's more, the exam is his own business, and he doesn't need to explain to these people.

As for the middle-aged and elderly man, Qin Ming also remembered it after He Ming's prompting.

This is the successor of the famous Tan Family Cuisine.

Different from other cuisines, Tan's cuisine follows the royal style and has extremely high requirements for ingredients. The environment that followed became more and more severe year by year. He remembered that Wang Daqing, the successor of Tan's cuisine, finally failed to use his skills. I went to a small factory to make big pot dishes. I didn't know who I offended. After the wind started, I was forced to work in the workshop. In the end, I was exhausted to death.

Seeing that the other party reminded him kindly, and that he did not dislike himself because He Ming said goodbye like others, Qin Ming nodded to the other party to express his gratitude, and then went to the kitchen without looking back.

"Boy, you dare to offend even Wang Daqing, you are dead now."

He Ming looked excited.

Wang Daqing, the heir to the famous Tan Family Cuisine, is very famous in the industry. His father once said that this man's cooking skills are very good and he will become a first-class chef in a few years.

When a first-level chef goes to a state banquet, the second-level chefs below that level become very popular.

When the rating was first conducted, Wang Daqing was serving his sick old mother at home, and now he must be here to participate in the rating.

Although there are people waiting here, if he comes out of that door, he will be at the second level.

Being able to strike up a conversation with such a chef would elevate his status.

But Wang Daqing was surrounded by other important chefs, and He Ming never had a chance.

Fortunately, Qin Ming went crazy and finally found a chance to get involved with Wang Daqing.

Of course, in order to make these people hate Qin Ming, he was smart enough not to say that Qin Ming was a hero.

Sure enough, everyone hates Qin Ming.

He not only made friends with Wang Daqing, but also disgusted Qin Ming, and made it impossible for Qin Ming to catch him. After all, he was always praising Qin Ming and others.

This move uses a knife to kill people, killing people without blood, and it is used very cleverly.

"It's a pity that Sun Wanwan is not here, otherwise she can see the ugly side of Qin Ming clearly. Then Sun Wanwan will definitely not look at this brat in a different light."

Because of Sun Wanwan's powerful aura, Lin Guodong and the others subconsciously did not mention her outside. This also led to the fact that no one except them knew that Qin Ming and Sun Wanwan were disciples.

But He Ming knew about Sun Wanwan of the Sun family. Any family with some connections in Four-Nine City would have heard of this talented girl to some extent.

The He family had dinner with those people by chance, so He Ming also knew about Sun Wanwan.

Although he didn't know why Sun Wanwan came to Fengze Garden, He Ming saw an opportunity and planned to get the first-come-first-served advantage.But Sun Wanwan followed Qin Ming around every day, which made him very angry. If Qin Ming hadn't been supported by Lin Guodong, made his signature dish, and became a hero, he would have taken him away long ago.

But it's not too late.

It would be strange for a young apprentice to pass the level [-] chef exam without knowing the world.

When he gets the rating and goes back to promote, Qin Ming's good reputation accumulated in Fengze Garden will be gone. At that time, if he uses his master Zhang Weiyong to manipulate it, it is possible to expel Qin Ming.

What future does an apprentice who cannot participate in the rating within three years and is expelled from Fengze Garden have?

It can be said that Qin Ming has no other way to stay in Sijiu City except to go back to the countryside and eat dirt.

"I'm taking the Level [-] assessment."

He Ming handed over his certificate and went to the Level [-] assessment location after the inspection was completed.

"It's you, Master Qin. It seems that we are destined to be together. You have to work hard!" Wang Daqing saw Qin Ming again, nodded with a smile and walked to the stove next to him.

As expected of everyone, they all have their own way of dealing with others. They will not be biased against others because of He Ming's words. Even if they don't agree, they still respect themselves.

Qin Ming sighed in his heart that the other party was very particular about people, and then also sent blessings to the other party.

Seeing Qin Ming's generous appearance, although Wang Daqing didn't say anything, he still admired it in his heart.

Soon, the assessment began, and Qin Ming and Wang Daqing also started working on their own.

……

In Hongliang Village, when she heard the movement of the big green horse, Mother Qin led a group of people to lead it out.

"His father, how is he?"

"It's also evil. The craftsman in our village broke his leg, and the craftsman in the nearby village couldn't move away. Even the craftsman in Wawu Village injured his foot." Qin's father looked helpless, and the two of them ran away in vain.

Qin's mother's face darkened, "What a coincidence. It seems that our old Qin family has been targeted."

"Mom, who would target us?"

"Yes, mother, I am a big hero now, and I have eaten and drank with the big shots in the city. Who dares to offend us?"

The Qin brothers were very puzzled.

The firecrackers at the end of the village started going off again.

"Why are there firecrackers again? Whose family has a big happy event again?"

Everyone in the Qin family looked puzzled, then heard the sound of children playing outside.

"Go and see, the widower Wang is getting a wife!"

"The bride has given out sweets, everyone, come and see!"

Wang Dachui, the widower, was also the one who disagreed with their house repairs at the village meeting because the well was broken.

"This Wang Dachui has been single for so many years, and he actually got a wife?"

Wang Limei looked surprised, "Which blind girl can still fall in love with that old bastard?"

Qin’s mother: “Don’t talk nonsense, the third child!”

Although what the unfortunate daughter-in-law said was true, how could she say it so directly?

"Mom, let's go and see the excitement too? If that girl was tricked by Wang Dachui, let's expose him. Isn't this considered a good thing?" Qin Sanniu obviously wanted to cause trouble, and Qin's mother glared fiercely. She glanced at him and said, "Both of you, please calm down!"

The Qin family has a lot of things to do of their own, so they don't have time to take care of other people's affairs.

"Miscellaneous, it's bad!" Tiepi ran in panting, "Run quickly, that bad woman who hurt my uncle is here again!"

"What kind of bad woman? Tiepi, don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Yinghong knew that her mother-in-law seemed to be aggressive, but she actually didn't like family members talking about people behind their backs, so she quickly stopped her son.

"Mom, I didn't say anything nonsense. A really bad woman is here."

Tiepi was also anxious and gestured angrily towards his own mother, "That bad woman who was going to marry Uncle Aiwu came to our house in bridal clothes."
