I started a senior citizen university after being unemployed, and I became the favorite of my uncles

As for the "Chef Competition", Aunt Zhong wanted to participate secretly and then surprise everyone.

Now that her "loud speaker" daughter has spread the word, Principal Lin and Xiao Ding also came to cheer her on.

When Aunt Zhong was young, she learned cooking from a master. Later, following the first trend in China, she studied to be a nutritionist. She dealt with food all day long, and her knife skills and control of heat did not decline.

I am still confident of winning the prize.

Early in the morning, the family started to get busy.

The organizers provide food and tableware.

Lao Cai stuffed a water cup, a parasol, and a towel into his bag...

Before leaving, he was still muttering: "I don't know what the organizer was thinking, putting the competition in the afternoon."

"The strong sun affects people a lot, so I said I would take my big umbrella for fishing."

"You said you wanted to stew fish last night. I'm going to the river to catch two fish for you now. What if their fish is not fresh and affects your performance?"

"Really? I don't need to take the kitchen knife from home? In case someone else's kitchen knife doesn't work for you, how about I take it with me?"

Aunt Zhong rolled her eyes at her in annoyance and said, "They said you are not allowed to bring your own food knives. Why do I feel like you are more nervous than me?"

"You eat the food I cook every day, don't you have confidence in me?"

When faced with the question of death, Lao Cai quickly denied it, "How could I not believe you? Our daughter has been eating the food you cooked since she was a child, and now she is sunny and cheerful."

"She's too cheerful." Aunt Zhong felt a little headache when she thought of her daughter's lively appearance. "Where is she?"

"I went to get the banner and said I'd give you the entire cheerleading team."

"I told her to keep a low profile." Although Aunt Zhong's words showed disdain, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face, "You should shoot the video later. Don't let her spend this money in vain."

"Okay, I promise to take clear pictures for you so that you can show them off to you later." Lao Cai promised happily.

When the two arrived at the venue, socialite Cai Yunyun was already chatting happily with Lin Qinglan.

Lin Qinglan heard yesterday that Aunt Zhong was on leave and was still there. It was a pity that she couldn’t see Aunt Zhong being the first one to get food, but she didn’t expect to see her here.

"What a coincidence, Chef Wu from our school cafeteria is also here to participate in the competition. Could he be a competitor of Aunt Zhong?" Lin Qinglan glanced at Chef Wu who was preparing for the competition.

"Principal Xiaolin, please don't tell her. I think my mother doesn't know yet." Cai Yunyun knew Aunt Zhong. She looked cheerful at ordinary times, but she was actually very nervous.

Lin Qinglan nodded to show her understanding.

"Auntie Zhong is taking a day off today, and everyone is worried."

"After class, the uncles and aunts from school will come over to cheer up Chef Wu. I don't think we can hide this from Aunt Zhong for long."

"Why not take this opportunity to get a group of relatives and friends to cheer Aunt Zhong up?"

"Good idea. I have all the props ready." Cai Yunyun took out the banner she had urgently ordered this morning from her bag. "I also ordered a silk banner, which will be delivered shortly."

The scene was very lively and they even invited TV stations to broadcast the event.

The 30 contestants were divided into two groups for the preliminary round, and the two winners entered the final.

Aunt Zhong showed a completely different state from usual.

He moves between the chopping board and the stove with ease, and one can tell at a glance that he has profound skills.

Xiao Ding watched without blinking, and said admiringly: "Senior is worthy of being a senior, your moves are like a master's style."

There were constant exclamations from all around, but Aunt Zhong was not affected at all.

The requirement for the preliminary round is to serve a main dish within two hours, which is a great test of the contestants' skills and time management abilities.

Aunt Zhong picked up the grass carp quickly, scraped off the scales and removed the internal organs.

Concentrate on removing the bones with the tip of the knife.

This step requires great skill. To remove the bones, you need to be familiar with the structure of the fish so as not to damage the meat.

After doing all this, use a knife to cut the boneless fish into slices and marinate it in water with shredded green onion and ginger. The whole process went smoothly and took less than half an hour.

While others were still changing their knives and chopping vegetables, Aunt Zhong took out the tomatoes, peeled them and cut them into cubes.

Lin Qinglan asked Cai Yunyun curiously, "Do you know what dish Aunt Zhong is going to cook?"

"Fish fillet in sour soup, my mother's specialty." Cai Yunyun's face was full of pride, "I can eat two bowls of rice with just one dish."

Aunt Zhong was not disturbed by the surroundings. She set up the pan, stir-fried the scallions and ginger in the hot oil, poured in the diced tomatoes and fried until the juice came out, then added water and stewed.

The soup takes on an attractive tomato red color and thickens as it cooks.

Bring to boil and add fish fillet.

The fish slices are cut very thinly and can let light through when held up in the sun.

The slices of fish are wrapped in tomato soup, and the sweet and sour taste spreads out of the pot, which increases people's appetite.

The main course is coming to an end and the cheerleaders are in place.

After class, Aunt Liang and Aunt Du rushed over to take on the task of holding the banner.

Aunt Zhong also noticed the commotion here and smiled confidently and brightly.

The fragrance comes after the white hot steam, sinking into the large white porcelain bowl, garnished with emerald green chopped green onions.

Aunt Zhong not only finishes the meal quickly, but the food also tastes good.

It successfully conquered the judges and the audience tasting representatives present.

Won the final spot for their group.

Cai Yunyun took the photo she had just taken and showed it off to everyone she met: "Look, this is my mom, she's super awesome."

Lin Qinglan didn't expect that Aunt Zhong's cooking skills were so superb and comparable to Chef Wu.

As expected, people from the 1970s and 1980s have very solid skills.

Lin Qinglan was wondering if she could invite Aunt Zhong to give a cooking class at school.

There is no doubt that the finalists are Chef Wu and Aunt Zhong.

You can see that both sides are quite surprised.

The two of them are really familiar with each other. Aunt Zhong is the first one to go to the cafeteria every day, and Chef Wu always lets Aunt Zhong try new dishes first. The two of them have a tacit understanding of mutual appreciation for each other.

Chef Wu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Aunt Zhong could always give accurate advice, it turned out that they were in the same industry.

Aunt Zhong greeted Chef Wu across the table: "Chef Wu, what a coincidence. I can still see you today even though I took a day off."

"Auntie Zhong, I can't even tell the time when you take leave." Chef Wu joked with a smile: "Before, when you sat there, I knew it was half past eleven and it was time to clean up and serve the dishes."

"Chef Wu's cooking is delicious. I'm greedy so I like to sit there early and wait." Aunt Zhong continued.

"Aunt Zhong, you can't hide it from me. You went there so early because you were secretly writing a recipe."

"I went there mainly to eat, and writing recipes was just a side job."

Chef Wu and Aunt Zhong were chatting and laughing. To them, winning or losing the game was not that important.

The two started the final at the same time, creating a solemn atmosphere like a knight standing on top of a mountain.
