Chapter 34: Hu Tao: Wow

Arriving in the main hall, Little Master locked eyes with Xiangling immediately.

However, his opinion was the same as Dudu's.

Such a small stature.

Is she really a head chef?

"Hello, I am Little Master of Yangquan Restaurant. May I ask... are you really a head chef?"

You have to know that being a head chef is physically demanding work.

You have to face a huge number of customers every day.

With these small arms and legs.

I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it.

Facing Little Master's questioning.

Xiangling said with some annoyance: "Looking down on people? I started studying culinary arts when I was very young.

I started adventuring alone to find ingredients when I was eight.

I have been in charge of Liyue's Wanmin Restaurant for three years now.

What about you?"

Little Master became embarrassed instantly.

He had only become the head chef of Yangquan Restaurant less than an hour ago.

How could he say that out loud?

At this moment, Master Shiquan arrived upon hearing the news and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"Since you are here to exchange culinary skills, let's start the competition quickly. The customers are getting impatient..."

It is exactly 10:30 now.

There is still an hour and a half until 12:00.

Hosting a cooking duel.

There is plenty of time.

"I have no objections, Master!"

"I have no objections either. How shall we compete?"

Xiangling looked at the white-haired old man.

Master Shiquan said with a chuckle: "Then let's use three dishes to decide the winner. There are plenty of fresh fish today, so the first dish must be fish.

For the remaining two dishes, you two decide for yourselves."

"I choose a tofu dish—Mapo Tofu!"

Xiangling's words were shocking.

"What? Mapo Tofu..."

Everyone was very shocked.

You have to know that Mapo Tofu is Little Master's signature dish.

Does she even know what she's doing?

Master Jidi reminded her: "Do you want to change to another dish? Little Master comes from the mountains in the south, and his best dish is Mapo Tofu..."

"No need, I am also very skilled at Mapo Tofu. Since you look down on me, I will defeat you using the dish you are best at!"

She had quietly asked Su Han just a moment ago.

Since you all look down on people, I will defeat you with my best dish.

She had originally come with the intention of a friendly exchange.

As a result, one after another, they judged her by her appearance.

It's truly detestable.

Little Master nodded and said: "Fine, then for the last dish, let's compete with spicy cuisine..."

"No problem."

Thus.

The three dishes were decided.

The cooking duel officially began.

Master Jidi looked at Master Shiquan and asked: "Do you know where Wanmin Restaurant is? I've never heard of this place..."

"Heh... there is still much you don't know."

Master Shiquan squinted his eyes and took a sip of wine.

In reality, he had no idea what Liyue or Wanmin Restaurant were.

However, as the person in charge of Yangquan Restaurant.

He still had to put on a show.

Even if he didn't know, he had to pretend he did.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?

"Hmph..."

Master Jidi left with a livid expression, not noticing the look of relief on the Master's face behind him.

Three dishes.

Two spicy dishes, one fish dish.

"Why not make them all spicy."

There are no rules for the duel.

As long as the taste is good, it counts as a victory.

Since that's the case, why not make them all spicy?

Xiangling selected her dishes and began to get busy. The first dish was Poached Sea Bass.

Remove the scales.

Remove the gills.

Remove the internal organs.

Then, she began cooking. ===== CHAPTER 36 =====
