He looked at Tang Hao with a stunned expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five chefs along with their teams, the judges, the reported, and the audience were equally as stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, they thought that the kid had walked in front because he did not know the etiquette. They did not expect him to be the real head chef!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What a joke!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the thought that appeared in everyone’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their opponents were the top chefs of the world, but the Huaxia side appointed a young man in his twenties to be the head chef. Was that not a joke?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the head chef was the most important person in the team, which meant that he should have the best culinary skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had expected New Magical Kitchen would appoint Master Chef Ding as the head chef, but he turned out to be the young man’s helper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did that mean that the young man’s culinary skills were better than Master Chef Ding’s?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could that be possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acquiring culinary skills took time. They had never heard of any chef becoming famous in their twenties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell?” The Huaxia audience was in an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the foreigners burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha! Wouldn’t you look at that? The competition hasn’t started yet, but the Huaxia side has already given up. They’ve appointed a young man as the head chef. If they lose, they can easily shift the blame to him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh! If they knew they were going to lose, why did they accept the challenge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The media reporters were very excited. They drafted articles and prepared to post them on the Internet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the judges’ section, the food critics and tycoons also laughed out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outcome might have been decided, but they did not expect Huaxia to give up that easily. That would make for a boring match!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!” The chefs grunted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were rather indignant. It was an insult to pit a kid against them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long while, the cavernous hall echoed with boos and jeers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Hao remained impassive. He, Master Chef Ding, and the other chefs stood confidently on the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked across the hall and was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tamamo was sitting in the judges’ section. She winked mischievously at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host eventually came to his senses. He laughed drily to ease the awkward atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, now that both sides are on the stage, I shall briefly explain the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This competition isn’t one among chefs, but rather among cuisines. On one side, the five chefs represent Farlancian, Latinian, and Dongyingese cuisine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On the other side, the chefs represent Huaxia’s magical cuisine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There will be no restrictions other than the time limit. You can make as many dishes as you want within three hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, please begin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the chefs on the other side glanced toward Tang Hao, chuckled contemptuously, and returned to their positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did not pay any heed to the young head chef.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would be taking over the entire show today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six cooking stations were prepared on the stage. The five international chefs occupied the five stations on the right, while Tang Hao and his chefs occupied the most left station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Hao walked to the station. The chefs behind him used carts to carry ingredients and various cooking utensils, and they unloaded items at the station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they began to get busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chefs washed and processed the ingredients in an orderly manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Hao stood there with his hands behind his back, doing nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were still in the preparatory stage, so it was not his turn to do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, there was another wave of boos from the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What arrogance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh! What does New Magical Kitchen think they’re doing at such a major event? Not only will they be ruining their reputation, but Huaxia would be disgraced too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Huaxianese audience shook their heads. They could not bear to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Master Chef Ding were the head chef, his culinary skills along with the amazing effects of magical cuisine might earn the foreign judges’ approval and win them the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they would definitely lose with that young chef taking the helm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the host started walking around the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s look at Chef Daniel. Chef Daniel is one of the most treasured chefs of Latinia running a three-star Michelin restaurant. Wow, what a big lobster! Is he going to make baked lobster? And spaghetti...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, let’s look at Chef Matsui. Chef Matsui is known as the God of Sushi. Of course, he’ll be making sushi this time...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next, let’s look at Chef Paul. This is escargot and foie gras. They’re famous dishes of Farlancian cuisine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally, let’s take a look at what the Huaxia side is doing. Um... Chef Tang, how many dishes are you making?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three!” Tang Hao said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was holding a duck in his hand while stuffing various ingredients into its stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three dishes? One of them must be duck, right? I know, it must be the famous Seven Treasures Duck of New Magical Kitchen!” The host said excitedly while slapping his thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!” Tang Hao replied coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on the host’s face froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha! What would it be if it’s not Seven Treasures Duck?” He was quite embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Hao shot a glance at him and proceeded to ignore him. He continued to stuff ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“F*ck! Why is this kid so arrogant? Who does he think he is?” The host cursed under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um... Chef Tang, can I ask if you’re an apprentice of New Magical Kitchen? Which branch do you work in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? No?” The host was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What the hell? So he’s not a chef of New Magical Kitchen?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then... do you have any certifications or qualifications? Do you have any competitive experience or awards?” The host asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!” Tang Hao replied bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host started to become flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What the f*ck? He doesn’t even have any certifications? That means he’s a nobody! He’s an apprentice chef at most!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience was equally confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foreigners laughed once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were treating the Huaxia side as pure comedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stuffing the duck, Tang Hao placed it in the oven and started roasting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he took a large pot, placed it on the stove, and started making soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pots and bowls of ingredients were poured into the large pot. There were bamboo shoots, mushrooms, seafood, and, of course, many medicinal herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pouring everything into the pot at once, he added some seasoning, and everything was done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Hao put the lid on the pot and dusted his hands. He pulled a stool over and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, we’re done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Chef Ding and the other chefs breathed a sigh of relief. They found stools, sat down, and started chatting casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host was dumbfounded when he looked over there, then at the five other teams that were busily working.\u003C\u002Fp>",1170,"2026-06-09T06:50:22.452Z",1,"novelbin.me","bf5f15fd3e347cc345db0fad13a3f0a1e251cca92c6c1414f6fdea41e09efc5f","the-mightiest-little-peasant-chapter-666","the-mightiest-little-peasant-chapter-664",3867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-mightiest-little-peasant-cover.jpg"]
