At a meal, except for the Tang Ben who was in a low mood, everyone ate very happily. A table of eight dishes was eaten cleanly, and its taste obviously did not need to be said. But it is worth mentioning that Tang Ben did not go to the four "home cooking" dishes made by Mu Tang to chopsticks during the whole process.

Meal......

Grandma Liu enthusiastically asked Dongfang Weixi to send Mu Tang and the others on her behalf, and also let them have time to come to the "Grandma's Restaurant" to sit and sit, so they regarded this place as their own home. Grandma Liu especially likes Tong Xiangyu's tightness, calling one girl at a time.

When Dongfang Weixi led Mu Tang and Tong Xiangyu out of "Qingluan Peak", only Grandma Liu, Master Xiong, and Tang Ben were left in the private room. At this moment, Tang Ben's expression became comfortable, as if as long as Mu Tang was there, the air in the private room was polluted, making him uncomfortable.

"Grandma Liu, Master, that Mu Tang is just a wild cook, and he didn't even take the chef level. In my opinion, he is a liar who eats and drinks. What do you think he just did? It's ...... to use our 'grandmother's restaurant's kitchen to make that kind of garbage."

Tang Ben was saying happily, Master Xiong suddenly slapped the table, and there was a "bang", the sound was sudden, loud, and hit Tang Ben's soul directly, so that he could no longer say a word.

Master Xiong said coldly: "Trash? If he made garbage, what do you think you made yourself? ”

"......" Looking at Master's face and expression, Tang Ben opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say - what's going on, why did Master react like this?

Grandma Liu looked at Master Xiong reproachfully, and said, "Big Bear, what are you doing with a stinky face and shouting, what should you do if you scare the child?" ”

"Humph!" Master Xiong tilted his nose and didn't look at Tang Ben, "If I hadn't seen him grow up now, I would have slapped him hard." Stupid pig with a brain that doesn't want things! After scolding, he knocked on the table, "Knock knock, knock knock" on the table, "Look at it, look at it, this is the true disciple I taught, I'm not dead yet, he's going to be angry with me!" ”

Grandma Liu's face collapsed, and she said, "Okay, okay, it's all an old person, why are you angry with your child?" Xiao Ben's cooking is not very good, how can it be as bad as you say. Don't talk, I'll talk," he turned his head to look at Tang Ben, smiled, and said, "Xiao Ben, your master is so virtuous, knife mouth, don't take it to heart." That's right, I discussed it with your master before, and decided to let you go to the room of the 'Lao Sen Temple' to study for two months and improve your cooking skills, what do you think? ”

The room of "Lao Sen Temple" is a well-known existence in the "kitchen world", and its "vegetarian food" is not too much to say that it is the first in the world! In the contemporary era of Buddhism in decline, "Lao Sen Temple" has found a new way, relying on their "vegetarian food", occupying a place in the "religious circle", attracting a lot of believers and pilgrims.

"Studying?" Tang Ben was still a little stunned, "Grandma Liu, if I go to the room of the 'Lao Sen Temple' to study, won't there be no way to participate in the 'Cooking Conference'?" ”

Master Xiong said: "Hmph, go to the 'Cooking Ceremony'?" What are you going to do, to be embarrassed? After speaking, he waved his hand and said categorically: "You don't have to go, the kid surnamed Mu just now will replace you." You don't care about the rest, get out of here and go to the 'Old Mori Temple'. ”

Tang Ben was struck by lightning, and thought he had heard it wrong, "Master, what did you say?" ”

Master Xiong said, "Your brain is not good, and your ears are deaf?" Get the hell out of here! ”

"Xiong Da Neng, can't you talk well?" Grandma Liu scolded, then sighed, and said to Tang Ben, "Xiao Ben, you lost the competition just now." ”

"......" Tang Ben opened his mouth, was stunned for a while, and shouted: "This is impossible...... No way...... How do I ...... How could I possibly lose?! Madame Liu...... Hehe, Grandma Liu, you must be in ...... Just kidding, right? ”

Master Xiong had an expression of hatred that iron could not become steel, and said to Grandma Liu: "Look at him, look at him, until now, I don't even know how I lost." How did I teach you such a ...... Such a ...... Hum! After all, he didn't say the word "waste".

Grandma Liu shook her head and said, "Xiao Tang, this is a 'kitchen fight', do you understand?" You may say you understand, but you don't. You didn't listen to us very much. We asked you to cook a few simple side dishes, not casually, but for you. But as a result, you made four very high-class dishes...... It's like I gave you a math paper, and you wrote an essay, you know? You didn't hear it, but that Mu Tang did. ”

"......," Tang Ben was speechless, "but...... But ......"

Grandma Liu said: "I know what you want to say, you want to say, even if Mu Tang hears the question of the two of us, but what he makes is just the simplest home-cooked food, any housewife can make it, how can it be compared with what you do?" However, if you actually eat his cooking just now, you will find that it is by no means a home-cooked meal that ordinary housewives can make. All four dishes are excellent, and in terms of taste, they are even slightly better than what you would make with a bunch of high-quality ingredients. But because of your prejudice against him, you didn't even go with chopsticks. If you can't face your enemies, how do you win? ”

She can say so much, it is definitely bitter and earnest.

Master Xiong said: "A dish that can make a dish that is more palatable than you can use a pile of high-grade ingredients to make a dish, do you think he can't replace you?" However, if it is because of this, it is not enough for us to decide that he will replace you. After all, this is a matter of life and death for the 'grandmother's restaurant', and there is no room for sloppiness! What do you think is really going on for us to make a decision? ”

“……”

Master Xiong saw that he was speechless, shook his head, this disciple, his talent and understanding in cooking are far beyond ordinary people, but in other things, his brain is always insufficient, maybe it is this that restricts his breakthrough, which also makes him extremely uncomfortable as a master, and said: "He has comprehended his own 'cooking way' and integrated it into his own cuisine, do you understand?" A person who has not comprehended the 'way of cooking' is destined to be the first to participate in the 'Cooking Conference'. The burden of the survival of 'Grandma's Restaurant', you can't bear it for the time being. Therefore, I discussed with you before becoming a teacher, if you fail, I will send you to the room of the 'Lao Sen Temple' for further study, hoping that you can improve and make a breakthrough. ”

Don't look at Master Xiong's loud scolding before, but that is obviously the deep responsibility of love. In the final analysis, he is still thinking about his true disciple, hoping that he can comprehend his "cooking way" as soon as possible and become a real "soul qi chef" who is enough to take charge of himself.

Grandma Liu said, "You go down and prepare." Here are the testimonials. I am an old friend of the abbot of the 'Old Mori Temple', and he will still give this thin noodles. When you enter the room of the 'Lao Sen Temple', you will concentrate on learning and strive for an early breakthrough. ”

Tang Ben took the letter of recommendation in a daze, and then left "Qingluan Peak" in despair.

Grandma Liu said: "Since Xiaoben worshipped you as a teacher, he has had a smooth journey and has not encountered any major setbacks. This blow is certainly not small for him. I hope he can cheer up and grow soon. ”

Master Xiong sighed with emotion: "There are talented people in the country." That kid is only eighteen or nineteen years old, not only is he already a 'superman', but he has also comprehended his own 'cooking way'. Miss me back then...... Alas, don't mention it, don't mention it. ”

Grandma Liu said: "If he represents the 'Grandma Restaurant', at least he has some chance of winning." Do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven...... "Master Xiong" snorted and said, "You listen to the destiny of heaven, I don't listen." It's been a hundred years...... if 'they' really force us to be anxious, it's a big deal to break the net! We are at most ordinary rich businessmen, and they are all high-powered 'relatives of the emperor', and it is worth it to die with them! ”

"What do you say about not dying, it hasn't reached that point yet. You said, it's been like this for a hundred years. ...... year We're porcelain, they're crockpots, and now it's reversed, and what we thought at the beginning, they think now. If it weren't for the fear that we would die and the net would be broken, how could they agree to bet with us? I'm sure the real competition is never at the 'Cooking Ceremony'. ”

Master Xiong nodded......

On the other side, Tang Ben returned to his room in a daze. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had actually returned to his room, only to find that he was holding a letter of recommendation in his hand, and then he completely came back to his senses and realized what had happened.

"Uhh Tang Ben roared with a distorted face, his whole body was exerting strength, but he didn't roar loudly, he wanted to tear up the letter of recommendation in his hand three times and twice, but he couldn't do it three times and twice, and finally threw the letter of recommendation to the ground.

Roaring for a while, it was considered to vent the anger and excitement in his heart, he walked around the room irritably, and finally, he took out the communicator, gritted his teeth and said: "Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust......" After saying this, he had already pulled out a string of numbers, and soon the communication was connected, and he said: "I promise you!" However, in addition to the conditions you put forward before, I would like to add one more: let me represent you in the 'Cooking Conference', and I will personally defeat the 'Grandma's Restaurant'! ”

After speaking, he cut off the communication heavily, and directly smashed the communicator with such force.

It turned out that someone had already secretly found Tang Ben and promised to tempt him with heavy profits, but Tang Ben did not agree, but he did not refuse, he was hesitating. On the one hand, he didn't dare, and on the other hand, Master Xiong and Grandma Liu treated him well. However, his hesitation vanished at this moment. In his opinion, it was Madam Liu and Master Xiong who betrayed him first.

He is the head chef of "Grandma's Restaurant", which is a well-known thing, but they actually let a wild road garbage who doesn't know where he came from replace him, this distrust makes him very annoyed, and makes him feel humiliated - let others know that he did not go to the "Cooking Conference", what will he think of himself?

As for the fact that he lost to Mu Tang...... He obviously didn't accept it, he didn't think he was worse than Mu Tang at all. What kind of "cooking way" is all nonsense to fool people, cooking is cooking, how can there be any "way" at all, isn't it delicious to make? Isn't it enough to have a strong tonic effect? What else is needed in addition to that? - Because he has not been able to comprehend the "kitchen way" for a long time, he has now completely denied the existence of the "kitchen way".

Tell the truth, say the fart!

Now, he has a burning desire in his heart, and he is eager to prove himself immediately, to prove to Grandma Liu and Master Xiong that he will not be worse than anyone else. What about the "Cooking Tournament"? You can still win the championship! He also fought with Mu Tang again, took out all his skills, trampled him under his feet, and at the same time completely defeated the "Grandma Restaurant" and made them regret the decision they made!

That would be a great way to do that, right?

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Tang Ben's smug smile echoed in the room.
