Subsequently, Ling Zhen let several apprentices also enter the banquet, which was indeed a rare banquet for the Ling family.

Since Ling Zhen's cooking skills have already advanced to the peak, the temptation of food is not as good as before.

There are few good delicacies that can satisfy his mouth.

This is also the reason why he asked Song Zixuan to help him judge.

For Ling Zhen, he didn't want to eat such a dish at all, in contrast, he would rather drink some liquor and eat some cold dishes.

After a round of toasting, the banquet really opened.

Ling Zhen approached Song Zixuan and said in a low voice, "Zixuan, you ...... Comment on it?"

Song Zixuan also understood what Ling Zhen meant, he didn't let himself say it just now, and now he whispered that he didn't intend to discourage the enthusiasm of his disciples.

Song Zixuan covered his mouth and said: "Zong Tianyu's talent is good, Ling Lao, if I didn't guess wrong...... This East China Sea lion head is not a simple cooking, but has auxiliary powers. ”

Hearing this, Ling Zhen smiled secretly, what Song Zixuan said was right, Zong Tianyu used internal force when he was making a lion's head.

And in the past six months, Zong Tianyu's cooking skills have improved very quickly, and he has even released his internal force to assist in cooking.

This is also the reason why the lion's head tastes so good, because whether it is stirring the meat filling or steaming in the pot, he uses internal force to catalyze.

"Zixuan, I know that you are not simple, you know how to release internal forces, and the same is true for your imperial fried rice, right?"

After Ling Zhen finished speaking, Song Zixuan was stunned in his heart, there was really someone outside the world, he once felt that he only had the help of the internal force he mastered, and Ling Zhen's disciples would also.

Obviously, Ling Zhen will definitely do the same.

"Hehe, Elder Ling, you can see it. ”

"So what? I just know that the Imperial Fried Rice uses the help of internal forces, but there is no recipe, and it is not easy to crack your secret recipe. ”

Hearing this, Song Zixuan calmed down, this is true, he made it according to the recipe.

Even if other chefs know how to use internal force to assist, they may not know this way of assistance, and it may not be so easy to directly crack the recipe.

"Hehe, tell me about the other two. ”

"Dubo's cooking should follow the recipe, there are no loopholes in the taste, but there are no bright spots, it should be due to his personality. ”

Ling Zhen nodded slowly, in fact, he could guess that with Du Bo's temperament, he could achieve the current level of cooking, which was already the extreme.

It's not necessarily impossible to break through the bottleneck, but it's really hard for a character like Dubo.

As for Li Cheng...... Hehe, Elder Ling, I don't know what to say. ”

Ling Zhen frowned slightly: "You can't eat it at all, right?"

Song Zixuan smiled and nodded.

Ling Zhen also laughed: "Li Cheng, it's not suitable for the cook's profession at all, don't you wonder why I accepted him?"

Song Zixuan nodded.

"Once the official reception of foreign guests in Donghai Province asked me to cook a few dishes, but this kid kept giving me a hand and calling me Master, and I didn't do anything at the time, so the result was ...... He became my apprentice. ”

Song Zixuan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "Hmm, you admit it?"

"Haha, boy, what do you think, how many leaders were there at that time, this kid directly commanded my army, I saw it, this is quite smart, so I accepted it, but who would have thought...... This cooking skill is not a matter of IQ at all, it has to be talented. ”

Song Zixuan nodded slowly, in cooking, IQ is an auxiliary role, and the real role still depends on talent.

This person is not suitable to be a chef, no matter how smart he is, it is useless. It's just that this matter did make Ling Zhen helpless, and the apprentice also accepted it, but he really couldn't cook a good dish, so he simply handed him over to Zong Tianyu, let Zong Tianyu teach, and by the way, let Li Cheng give him a hand.

To put it bluntly, Ling Zhen had already given up on Li Cheng.

So speaking out now, Ling Zhen himself is just a joke, and occasionally laughing at himself is also a pleasure.

After another glass of wine, Ling Zhen looked at everyone.

"Let me announce one thing below, my Ling Zhen's baby granddaughter Ling Ke'er is also officially worshipping Chef Song Zixuan as the master today, and I will take advantage of our banquet to give them an apprenticeship ceremony. ”

After saying this, the audience was stunned.

Among them are Song Zixuan and Ling Keer.

No one expected this old man to suddenly come to this hand and apprentice...... And the whole ceremony?

Zong Tianyu looked at Ling Zhen with wide eyes, and then looked at Song Zixuan on the side, his expression changed from shock to anger.

Is the master old and confused? It's just a matter of keeping this person for a day, and now he actually lets Ke'er worship him as a teacher?

That...... Isn't it just a tacit acquiescence that Ke'er will leave the East China Sea and follow this person to the ferry?

Zong Tianyu frowned, no, I have liked Ke'er for so many years, she is mine...... No one can take her away!

"Master, apprentice?" Zong Tianyu got up and said.

Ling Zhen nodded: "Yes, I have already decided, from today onwards, Ke'er will be Song Zixuan's apprentice." ”

After speaking, Ling Zhen looked at Ling Ke'er: "Girl, apprenticeship is different from child's play, master is like father, are you willing to worship under Song Zixuan?"

Hearing this, Ling Ke'er nodded vigorously: "Grandpa, I'm willing." ”

After getting along for a period of time, Ling Ke'er respected Song Zixuan, and even admired him a little, undoubtedly, this is the most important premise for apprenticeship.

"Okay, let's go for the tea. ”

Ling Zhen said, making a gesture to the side, and a subordinate walked up to Ling Ke'er with a cup of tea.

"Yes, Grandpa. ”

With that, Ling Ke'er got up and went to serve tea.

But at this moment, Zong Tianyu stood up and said, "Master, I think...... Would you like to think again?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zong Tianyu.

Ling Zhen frowned slightly, and glanced at Zong Tianyu: "Tianyu, what do you mean?

"Master, Tianyu doesn't dare, it's just that Tianyu thinks that our Ling family actually went outside to apprentice, if it spreads, wouldn't it be a joke?" Zong Tianyu said.

Ling Zhen glared at Zong Tianyu: "Then what should you do?"

"The Ling family is the top of Huaxia's culinary skills, even if Ke'er doesn't apprentice here, he can learn the top cooking skills in Huaxia, why bother to worship this person as a teacher?" Zong Tianyu said, looking at Song Zixuan.

Seeing this, Song Zixuan didn't say a word, just smiled faintly.

He knew that Elder Ling would say the rest for him.

"The Ling family's cooking skills are passed on to men but not to women, and not to the inside, so the old man naturally has to find a good teacher for Ke'er. Ling Zhen said.

Zong Tianyu could hear that Ling Zhen's tone was already a little impatient.

If it were anything else, he would definitely keep silent now, so as not to make the master angry.

But this thing ...... He couldn't bear it.

He can't let Ke'er worship this master today!

"Master, what you said is right, but which chef in the Ling family is not better than this Song Zixuan?"

Ling Zhen looked at Zong Tianyu and didn't speak for a long time, but his gaze was full of anger and blame.

Looking at Ling Zhen's expression, everyone could see it, obviously Ling Zhen was already angry.

At this moment, no one dared to speak up anymore, including Zong Tianyu.

Song Zixuan continued to sit and watch, with a faint smile on his face.

"Master, Tianyu didn't mean that, he was mainly worried about Ke'er, so he ......"

Du Bo was just about to open his mouth to explain, but Ling Zhen turned his head and glared at him, and he immediately stopped.

Ling Zhen slowly got up and walked behind Zong Tianyu.

At this moment, Zong Tianyu felt a layer of sweat behind him, and he had to say that even though Zong Tianyu's personality was a little arrogant, the master was still absolutely intimidating in front of him.

"Zong Tianyu, what do you want to do?"

"Master, I'm ......" Zong Tianyu also stood up, after all, the master had come over, and he couldn't sit and talk.

"I just don't want Ke'er to leave with a stranger, we all saw your worries some time ago, and ...... We don't know anything about this person. ”

Ling Zhen nodded: "Don't understand, that's you, Ke'er has enough understanding of Zixuan in Dumen City, and I also see him, whether it is character or cooking skills, he is enough to be Ke'er's master." ”

Hearing this, Zong Tianyu could hear that the master was iron-hearted.

However, he really didn't want his years of hard work to be in vain, he couldn't be with Ling Ke'er, he definitely couldn't enter the Ling family.

"I don't know the character, but the cooking skills ...... Master, I'm afraid there are people in the Ling family who can be stronger than him. ”

Zong Tianyu plucked up his courage and said.

Ling Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zong Tianyu, he suddenly felt that he was a little unfamiliar with this apprentice.

He had never seen Zong Tianyu oppose him so resolutely, this is eating the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard?

"Okay, let's do it, don't blame the teacher for not giving you a chance, Tianyu, find someone from the Ling family who can beat Song Zixuan in cooking skills, and I will take back today's words!"

Zong Tianyu bit his lip and was silent for a moment.

And no one around dared to speak, let alone whether they were convinced by Song Zixuan's cooking skills, and caught up with Ling Zhenqi, who would dare to come out at this time?

"Okay, Master, then I'll try," as he spoke, Zong Tianyu looked at Song Zixuan, "Song Zixuan, I want to challenge you!"

Song Zixuan smiled when he heard this, and said, "Challenge me?"

"If you can win me, you can take Kerr away and make her your apprentice, but if you lose...... Song Zixuan, I want you to give up your thoughts, and stop thinking about apprenticeship to the Ling family!"

Obviously, Zong Tianyu was determined to think that Song Zixuan's purpose was actually to become Ling Zhen's disciple.

Song Zixuan nodded: "Hehe, I understand, to put it bluntly, no matter if you win or lose, you will talk to me, you are completely fine, right?"

"Then what do you want?" Zong Tianyu said.

"In this way, if you win, do as you say, if I win......"

Speaking of this, everyone looked at Song Zixuan, after all, it was a challenge, and naturally people would also say the punishment for losing.

Song Zixuan showed an evil smile: "You quit the division!"

After saying this, everyone gasped, and had to say that although Song Zixuan's words were a little ruthless, after all, it was a gambling contract, and there must be some bets.

Everyone looked at Zong Tianyu, and his next attitude represented whether this competition would start.

Zong Tianyu laughed, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just do what you say!"
