Chapter 148: Challenge (Asking for Subscription)
"Challenge me?" Chen Hu felt inexplicable and took the challenge book from Abin's hand.
I opened it and took out the challenge letter from inside.
I saw that it was written: I, Wu Ping, is a senior chef on a certain floor, I heard that your Excellency has superb cooking skills, and you have the elegant name of a wonderful chef, I think it is exaggerated, not true, and I am here to challenge you to debunk your tricks.
Chen Hu, do you dare to fight?
Chen Hu was speechless, what he had been worried about before finally came.
"What about the person who sent the letter?" Chen Hu put down the letter of challenge and asked rhetorically.
"It's in the lobby. Abin said.
"Call him in. ”
"Yes. ”
Soon, a young man who was no better dressed than Abin and seemed to be running errands to deliver letters was lured up by Abin.
"You are the one who delivered the letter?" Chen Hu glanced at him and asked lightly.
And as soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Hu's guess was completely confirmed, and he was really just an errand runner, not Wu Ping himself.
"Yes, exactly the small one. ”
But think about it, with his identity as a chef on a certain floor, where can he use himself to personally deliver a challenge letter? That's not enough to lose a share, and it will also be weak in momentum at the beginning, not taken by normal people.
"What does he mean. Chen Hu nodded slightly and asked again.
"Master Wu didn't explain, just asked me to deliver the letter. Also, if possible, bring back your reply. The man glanced at Chen Hu and hurriedly replied.
"Then you can give him a message, just say that I agreed to his challenge, but the venue must be here, and there must be a clear and humble Miaoshan Taoist among the judges, as for the rest, he can arrange it himself. Chen Hu said.
Since everyone has already deceived the door, he naturally has no reason to retreat! What's more, this is also a good publicity opportunity, so he might as well push the boat down the river and come to such a time, and send himself and the reputation of the restaurant to a new height.
As for the question of defeat...... Chen Hu didn't think about it at all.
After all, he is not a simple senior chef, but a pseudo-special chef who has awakened his cooking heart, and to a certain extent, he can be regarded as a pseudo-special chef who has crossed the dragon gate! In this way, coupled with a spiritual recipe and two special special recipes in his hand, Chen Hu really didn't believe that he would lose to a senior chef who could only move around in Shencheng.
As for why he has to ask the other party to invite Miaoshan Lao Dao under such self-confidence, it is actually very simple, not afraid of 10,000, just afraid of what if, if the other party really does not want to play black-hearted operation and directly pit him to win, then the existence of Miaoshan Lao Dao can become a deterrent, so that the other party does not dare to play too big, and even disturbs the possibility of the other party playing black to some extent.
After all, after Chen Hu's inquiries during this time, the reputation of Miaoshan Lao Dao and the Qingxu Guan he was born in Shencheng is not ordinary, maybe not as popular as Baiyun Temple, Qinci Yangdian, Jing'an Temple and the like have a wide range of believers among the general public, but they still have a certain degree of popularity in the middle and upper circles of Shencheng, so as long as Miaoshan Lao Dao shows enough kindness to him Chen Hu, it is enough to make ordinary people stop being afraid and sell Lao Dao face.
Of course, this kind of thing is not absolute, you know, there are not many people on this matter, and there are many people who dare to take risks for the sake of interests, and even go all the way to the black, if the other party really can pull his face to hack him, Chen Hu is also okay.
Who told him to be a newcomer and not well connected? Therefore, one can only expect that Wu Ping to be a pure chef, not the kind of junk who dares to do anything for the sake of fame.
Immediately in the afternoon of the same day, when it was about to be evening, the news that Wu Ping, the senior chef of a certain building, challenged Chen Hu, the chef of the Chen Family Restaurant, spread in Shencheng, who had just come out of the grief of the killing caused by the demon invasion.
"Chen's restaurant? is the one that has a very strong martial arts owner, and after messing with the Lei family, it is safe and sound, and it has been very popular recently?"
"Yes, it's the restaurant. ”
"Is his chef very good? Why is it worth asking a senior chef to challenge?"
"It's said to be very powerful. ”
"Whether it's powerful or not, it's very famous anyway, and I've been given a plaque. This is the only person in Shencheng who has been given a plaque by the people in the past ten years, except for the master of Xinglin, not to mention anything else, this alone can be regarded as the number one!"
"No wonder Wu Ping of that building wants to challenge Chen Hu of Chen's restaurant, it turns out that he is burdened by fame. It seems that Master Wu is also a person who loves to sell fame and fish for jade. ”
"Hearing you say that, it's true. ”
And this kind of voice also irrepressibly reached the ears of Wu Ping, who was a person in the world.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang......"
"Bastards, how dare they!" Wu Ping shook his hand and smashed a teacup, roaring with anger on his face.
But, in the end, it's just a vent, and as for going out to calm public opinion, that's not okay.
He is not the lord of the government, so he can't suppress the discussion of the common people, not to mention, how can this kind of rumor be blocked by saying that it can be blocked? Therefore, he can only blame himself for his bad luck, and he has to make such a big deal and deserve it.
Yes, the reason why there is such a big movement in the world in an instant is entirely because Wu Ping found someone to spread it outside, otherwise the contact between the two can be regarded as secret, even if it is seen, the identity of the group of people who dine in the Chen Family Restaurant will not spread the news so quickly, making it known all over the city, to the extent that a civilian can talk a few words.
So obviously, this is the reason why the parties promote it.
Chen Hu has never done it, and he is not even very relieved, so it is obvious that only Wu Ping or other people who can do this are left.
Then at this moment, a small guy ran into the house and hurriedly rushed to Wu Ping, who was angry, and said, "Master, Minister Xie Wenlong Xie of the Chef Association has arrived." ”
"What, Minister Xie?!, why don't you invite me in!" Wu Ping was startled, and hurriedly reprimanded the little guy.
"Yes, it's so small. The little guy was startled and hurriedly responded.
"Forget it, I'll go and ask for it myself. After speaking, Wu Ping, who felt inappropriate, immediately changed his words, and walked to the door.
It's just that he was only halfway through, and he ran into Xie Wenlong, who walked in on his own.
"I've seen Minister Xie, I don't know what kind of wind blew you here?
"Blown by the wind. Xie Wenlong also returned the salute with a fist and said with a smile.
Then the two of them settled in the house, and the maid brought new tea, and then they left the room with interest, leaving the space for the two of them.
"I heard that you challenged Master Chen of the Chen Family Restaurant?" After drinking tea, Xie Wenlong put down the teacup and looked at Wu Pingzheng and asked.
"It is true. What?" Wu Ping was surprised, and didn't understand why this matter had alarmed Minister Xie again.
It seems that with his and Chen Hu's identities, it seems that he can't get the chef's guild to mediate, right?
What's more, it's common for things like this to challenge and compete, and it has happened many times before, and I haven't seen the chef's guild to recuperate, which makes Xie Wenlong's arrival this time very strange.
"Chef Wu can rest assured that the competition between chefs is normal, and the chef's guild has no intention of obstructing mediation. As if seeing the doubts in Wu Ping's heart, Xie Wenlong opened his mouth to explain.
"Then you are ......"
"I'm here to ask Master Wu for your opinion. I wonder if you'd like to hand over this challenge to the guild to expand its influence?"
Suddenly, Wu Ping frowned, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
