In the midst of intense preparations, the state banquet finally arrived.
Li Xingyi prepared for a long time, but when the day of the state banquet came, he was still very nervous. Even when he was wiping the knives before cooking, his hands were trembling slightly.
The state banquet is an important occasion, ordinary people can't easily get in, Song Changdong and Gu Rong are blocked outside, only Fang Yan has the opportunity to enter the restaurant. Seeing Li Xingyi's nervous look, Fang Yan quickly comforted him: "Brother Li, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Li Xing pursed his lips and wiped the kitchen knife in his hand ten times before putting it down anxiously.
"Brother Li?"
"..."
Fang Yan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Li, even if you don't have confidence in your cooking skills, you should have confidence in my cooking, right?"
For today, he specially selected the best vegetables from the space, and personally escorted those vegetables over. The meat was also freshly killed, and the fresh ones couldn't be fresher.
Li Xingyi wanted to say something, but he quickly realized what he had just said to comfort him, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
How can anyone boast of themselves to comfort others
But being interrupted by Fang Yan, he was not as nervous as before.
"Yes, I am still very confident in my cooking skills." Li Xing picked up the kitchen knife and began to wipe it for the eleventh time, then proudly said: "Who said no after eating my food? satisfied?"
Not to mention that he specially researched a new dish this time. After researching the new dish, he specially invited everyone he knew to come and taste it, and asked them in detail about their impressions after eating. Li Xingyi Collecting those impressions, and constantly improving and optimizing, the new dishes also made him very proud.
"In this case, Brother Li, what else do you have to worry about?" Fang Yan paused, and then said: "Brother Song is also waiting for you outside, after you finished cooking, he said he would be the first to congratulate you you."
Li Xingyi: "..."
Thinking of Song Changdong, Li Xing was speechless, no amount of nervousness.
Soon, someone ran into the kitchen and gave them instructions: "You can start cooking."
As soon as Li Xing picked up the kitchen knife, he took out a piece of beef from the ingredients area next to it, and started to cook it seriously.
As soon as he touched the kitchen knife and started cooking, all his thoughts were immersed in the cooking, and he had no other thoughts.
Fang Yan looked at the side for a long time, seeing the busy and orderly look in the kitchen, he breathed a sigh of relief, did not disturb them any more, and walked out lightly.
He went outside, and sure enough, he saw Song Changdong pacing back and forth anxiously, with Gu Rong beside him. Seeing him coming out, Song Changdong immediately grabbed him and asked, "How is it? Nothing happened inside, right? Is he nervous? Will it affect his performance?"
A series of questions came oncoming, almost knocking Fang Yan into a daze. After a while, he realized and explained: "Brother Song, don't worry, Brother Li has a sense of propriety. I have been watching him just now. Brother Li just now I'm still nervous, but I've calmed down now, nothing unexpected will happen."
Song Changdong breathed a sigh of relief.
But he still couldn't calm down, and it didn't take long before he started walking back and forth again, with non-stop footsteps.
Fang Yan didn't care about him any more, and left him nervous, knowing that no matter how many times he explained it, it would be useless, so Fang Yan directly stood beside Gu Rong.
Gu Rong touched his head: "Yanyan, are you not nervous?"
"Why am I nervous?" Fang Yan shook his head: "My task is to send the best quality vegetables to the kitchen. My task has been completed. The next step is to see Brother Li's performance."
As long as Li Xing made no mistakes, there would be no mistakes in this state banquet.
All three of them are well aware of this truth, but they also know that there is no use in worrying. Except for Song Changdong, Fang Yan and Gu Rong sat outside calmly and waited.
I don't know how long it has passed, and suddenly a person wearing a chef's uniform ran out anxiously: "Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang!"
Fang Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at that person, he recognized that it was one of Li Xingyi's apprentices.
Fang Yan suddenly became nervous: "What's wrong? What happened?"
The apprentice hurriedly ran to him and stopped, panting heavily: "Mr. Fang, it's bad, the number of dishes in the kitchen is wrong."
"The number is wrong?" Fang Yan's expression froze, and he immediately said, "Take me to the kitchen."
The little apprentice didn't stop for a moment, and hurriedly led him back to the kitchen.
Not long after he left, the kitchen was in chaos. With Li Xingyi's majesty, the others didn't dare to stop what they were doing, but they still couldn't help but focus on this side. When Fang Yan ran in, Li Xingyi was standing in front of the ingredients area, frowning.
"Brother Li." Fang Yan stopped in front of him anxiously: "I heard that the number of ingredients in the kitchen is wrong."
"That's right." Li Xing said, "I know the ingredients needed for all the dishes in my heart. Now each ingredient is a little less, not enough for the rest of the dishes."
Fang Yan took a glance and knew what was left. Looking at the ingredients in the ingredients area, it really is not enough.
He frowned, took out the list that Li Xingyi had written to him from his pocket, glanced it hastily, and found that it was the same as what he remembered.
"I brought it according to what was written on your list." Fang Yan handed him the list: "I'm sure there will be no mistakes."
As soon as Li Xing took it over and took a look, he also glanced at the number, nodded and said, "That's right, I wrote this."
But now the ingredients are indeed scarce.
The two looked at each other, their brows twitched, Fang Yan immediately took out his mobile phone and said, "Brother Li, what's missing, I'll have someone send it over now, do you think it's possible in time?"
Li Xingyi frowned: "From the plantation to here..."
"It's not from the plantation, I'll pick it up myself." Fang Yan said, "I just don't know if it will delay your time."
Li Xing hesitated for a moment, then looked back, the other chefs in the kitchen all looked towards him, absent-minded, all worried about the disappearance of the ingredients.
"Ten minutes." Li Xingyi said, "Ten minutes at most, otherwise the food will be delayed."
This is already very difficult.
Fang Yan's plantation is very far away from here, ten minutes away, except for flying, there is no way to get here.
Fang Yan responded: "Brother Li, don't worry, within ten minutes, I will bring over the missing things."
Li Xingyi didn't say anything to him, just pulled a piece of paper and wrote down everything he needed.
Fang Yan quickly walked out clutching the note.
