Chapter 13: Hu Tao: Wow

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

However, he shared the same opinion as Dudu.

Such a small stature.

Is she really a head chef?

"Hello, I am the 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 large number of customers every day.

With those thin arms and legs.

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

Facing the Little Master's questioning.

Xiangling said with some annoyance: "Looking down on people? I've been studying culinary arts since I was very young.

I started adventuring on my own to find ingredients when I was eight.

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

What about you?"

The Little Master felt awkward instantly.

He had only been the head chef of Yangquan Restaurant for less than half a year.

How could he say that out loud?

At this moment, Master Shiquan heard the news and arrived, hurriedly trying to smooth things over.

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

It is currently ten-thirty.

There is still an hour and a half until twelve o'clock.

Holding 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 smile: "Then let's decide the winner with three dishes. There is 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 the Little Master's specialty.

Does she even know what she's doing?

Master Jie Di reminded her: "Do you want to change to another dish? The Little Master is 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 for a friendly exchange.

As it turned out, one after another, they were judging her by her appearance.

It's truly detestable.

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

"No problem."

Thus.

The three dishes were set.

The cooking duel officially began.

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

"Heh... there's a lot 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 front.

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

Otherwise, wouldn't he lose face?

"Hmph..."

Master Jie Di walked away with a livid expression, not noticing the Master behind him looking relieved.

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, you win.

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

Xiangling selected her dish and began to get busy; the first dish was Poached Sea Bass.

Remove the scales.

Remove the gills.

Remove the internal organs.

Afterwards, she began to cook. ===== CHAPTER 36 =====

The speed was so fast that Silang, who was peeking, was dazzled.

When Xiangling took out some flower petals as seasoning, he was completely stunned.

When Silang relayed the information to the Little Master.

The latter was also taken aback.

"Using flower petals as seasoning, that's too magical. Sure enough... those who can become head chefs of a restaurant all have their own unique characteristics.

I have to work hard too..."

Saying this, the Little Master also began to work hard.

The fish he chose was fish rolls.

Using the freshest vegetables available as a side.

Combined with the tender fish meat.

To form a perfect delicacy.

Time passed continuously.

Soon, all three dishes were finished.

The people responsible for tasting were Master Shiquan and the customers present.

"Let's start by tasting the Little Master's dish first..."

"Can you introduce your creation?"

"The dish I prepared is spring rolls, using fish skin to wrap succulent fish meat and fresh vegetables..."

As the Little Master lifted the lid.

A golden light erupted from the dish.

Those who saw this momentum for the first time were all startled.

Especially the people in the Heavens Quest Group.

Hu Tao: "Damn... it's glowing, it's glowing... Su Han, this is so amazing. If he keeps cooking like this, wouldn't we not need to turn on the lights at night?"

Su Han: "I can only say that's a very creative idea..."

Ningguang: "Spring rolls made of fish? Truly an interesting concept... I just don't know how it tastes."

Zhongli: "A dish that glows, that's interesting..."

For thousands of years.

This was the first time he had seen a glowing dish.

Inside Yangquan Restaurant, the customers began to taste it.

Then, one after another, they revealed expressions of infatuation.

"It's too delicious, it's simply a supreme delicacy..."

"The succulence of the fish meat combined with the fresh seasonal vegetables is a perfect match. As expected of the Little Master..."

"What surprises me most is that the fish seems as if it's still alive..."

"This is probably the pinnacle of spring rolls..."

"Not bad, truly amazing!"

Silang listened to the customers' evaluations and laughed loudly: "Master won, we've definitely won the first round..." ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
