"Boiling cabbage? It's not like ordinary boiling water!" Chen Ruolan looked at the clear soup wrapped in cabbage, shook her head and said.

"Of course, I asked Zhou Yu's kid for several months for this recipe for boiling cabbage, but he just wouldn't give it to me!" Chen Jin recalled the origin of this dish and said angrily.

"The taste of this sweet and sour loin is also excellent, although the color is slightly worse, but it is crispy and sweet in the mouth, and it is fragrant on the lips and teeth, which is really a delicious dish!" Chen Ruolan continued to comment.

"Hehe, I'll tell you a secret, you might feel a little uncomfortable listening to it......

"Don't sell it, talk about it quickly!"

"This sweet and sour tenderloin is made from pork!"

"What?!" Chen Ruolan said in surprise, "But isn't pork a vulgar thing......

"Hey, what's vulgar or not, just say it's good or not!" Chen Jin, whose stomach defense line had already been breached, couldn't help but interrupt Chen Ruolan's words.

Chen Ruolan's chopsticks hesitated in the air for a while, and finally gave in to the deliciousness.

Another hidden difficulty in this big competition is that each chef needs to provide a large amount of dishes as entries, because in addition to the judges, one serving for each guest has to be prepared. Everyone can work slowly and meticulously to make delicate small bowls of dishes, but for you to prepare so many people at once, you need to have experience and technical accumulation.

Fortunately, Li Erniu is not afraid of this situation at all, Zhou Yu has specially trained them in this area when he teaches them cooking, and he even remembers Zhou Yu's original words at the time: "You can only make a person's dish and have a fart, if there are more than ten people at a table, a total of thirty or forty tables, wouldn't you be dumbfounded?" You are the cooks of Juxian Lou, serving the guests; If you are not the head of the imperial dining room in the capital, you only cook for the emperor alone, and if you don't learn the skills of the cauldron stew, the signboard of our Juxian Building will not be able to stand!"

So today, his cooking speed on the field is the fastest, except for the boiling water cabbage, which is the most complicated preparation of ingredients and processes, the completion progress of every other dish is two streets behind other chefs.

Li Erniu stood in place and kept taking deep breaths to relax himself. I don't know how long it took, but the judges from the Imperial Dining Room finally tasted all the dishes and gave their opinions.

After receiving the message, the host returned to the stage.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, you must already have a good understanding of each chef's unique skills. Then, we have also collected the opinions of the chef of the imperial dining room, and the most refined dish in this Dabi is: Wensi Tofu! The best taste is: Buddha jumping over the wall! The most curious idea is: boiling water cabbage! You may not know that these three dishes are all from Li Erniu of Juxian Lou in Luozhou! Therefore, the winner of this kitchen god competition is, Luozhou Juxian Building - Li Erniu!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

"What? He actually made that boiling cabbage?"

"Such a young doll can actually make such a delicacy as Buddha jumping over the wall?!"

"I don't believe it, am I mistaken......

Li Erniu listened to the results announced by the host, and was still in a trance, although he didn't have much hope for the final victory, it was always good to win.

Li Erniu on the stage is like this, and Zhou Yu is even more relieved offstage. Regarding the dish of Buddha jumping over the wall, he temporarily suggested that Li Erniu change it the day before, and the reason is very simple, Li Erniu's menu is short of a top dish that shocks the audience with its fragrance, and Buddha jumping over the wall is the best choice.

The only trouble is that Li Erniu has not studied this dish for a long time, and it was passed on to him by Zhou Yu almost a few days before they left for Beijing, even Wang Yu and the others who stayed in Luozhou still dare not put this dish into the recipe of Juxian Lou. Because they are not skilled enough, if any process goes wrong in the middle and the guests are not satisfied, Aunt Zhang will inevitably deduct half a month's salary.

Fortunately, Li Erniu finally stabilized his mentality and defeated himself, even if he didn't make the most perfect Buddha jumping over the wall in Zhou Yu's heart, as long as he conquered the judges and guests, he could be regarded as having achieved his goal.

At this time, a man with gray hair walked up to the stage and asked Li Erniu, "Young man,

Your cooking skills are amazing, are you interested in working in the Imperial Dining Room? Seeing that you are talented, the old man can ask Lord Yu, the head of the imperial dining room, to take you as an apprentice, which is an errand that no one can ask for!"

The man's tone seemed a little condescending, as if he didn't believe that Li Erniu would refuse his invitation.

Li Erniu hesitated for a moment, and then said frankly, "I'm sorry, I already have a master, so please don't mention the matter of apprenticeship. As for this appointment in the Imperial Dining Room, I can't make the decision, I need to ask my master."

After listening to Li Erniu's words, there was another uproar in the audience.

"Damn, he can't even look down on the imperial dining room? Does he know how many people can't get in there with their heads squeezed?"

"Chef Wang of Donghai Building, who has been working in Donghai Building for more than ten years, finally waited for such an opportunity, but was preempted by that kid, and as a result, people still don't look down on him, where do you say this is reasonable?"

"Who is his master? What is the No. 1 chef in Los Angeles? Do you know each other?"

"To be able to teach such a powerful apprentice, I guess this person is not an idle person, I'm afraid he didn't go out of the imperial dining room before......

The man didn't expect Li Erniu to decline his invitation, and asked a little embarrassedly, "The little brother's cooking skills are so exquisite, presumably the respected master is even more extraordinary, can you invite him out to meet?"

Li Erniu replied humbly, "Wait, I'll go find him!"

After saying that, Li Erniu turned around and ran backstage to hang the man on the stage.

In the end, the host came out and played a round: "Who is Li Erniu's master? Let's wait and see! Lord Wu, please take a seat!"

The man surnamed Wu then got off the donkey and returned to the judges' seat.

"I said, anyway, Lord Wu is also an old-timer in the imperial dining room, Li Erniu hangs people on the stage, I'm afraid there is something wrong, right?" Chen Ruolan frowned lightly and said.

"He's a little kid, he runs behind Zhou Yu every day, Zhou Yu told him to go east, he didn't dare to go west, where did he understand so many truths? Let Zhou Yu teach him slowly in the future." Chen Jin comforted.

Chen Ruolan nodded and did not speak again.

……

"Master, there is an old man in the imperial dining room who said he wanted to see you!" Li Erniu went around the backstage to report to Zhou Yu and said.

"You said you were so decent, why did you pull me in......" Zhou Yu said with some dissatisfaction.

"But that man asked me to worship other people as teachers, and I don't want to! Master, this is the most powerful chef in the world, and the imperial dining room is definitely not as good as you!" Li Erniu listened very well, but he could only say it in front of Zhou Yu.

"Don't slap me on the back! Since you've let everything out, I can only go out and meet with them head-on......" After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he walked to the stage with Li Erniu.

Li Erniu rushed to the host's side and said, "Sir, this is my master, the shopkeeper of Juxian Tower, Zhou Yu!"

"Huh? That person doesn't look big, huh? I'm afraid I'm not even twenty years old, right? How can you teach such a powerful apprentice?"

"No, are the people in this Immortal Tower so young?"

"I don't think that man is a cook, but like a scholar who can't be lifted......

Today's surprises are one after another, and I don't know what will happen next.

There was one person in the banquet, although he had never spoken, but his eyes were tightly locked on Zhou Yu's body.

The moment Zhou Yu appeared, Su Wen's heart was about to jump out. She almost got up from her stool and beckoned to him, but eventually restrained herself.

The man surnamed Wu got up again and said, "Little Brother Zhou Yu, are you really Li Erniu's master?"

"It's a fake!" Zhou Yu replied affirmatively.

"Dare to ask how old you are this year?"

"Eighteen, nineteen in two months." Zhou Yu replied truthfully.

The audience discussed his age again, but most people still thought that his age was too young to look like he could teach Li Erniu.

"And who did you learn from in cooking?" Lord Wu continued to ask.

"There is no master chef here, so I rely on self-study."

Master Wu: "......"

"Isn't it...... Can a self-taught person be a master?"

"I listened to his words like a fart, it is estimated that Li Erniu's master refused to show up, so he sent this kind of goods out!"

"I think it's the same, the real masters are those who don't want to show their faces easily......

"Since you are self-taught, what cuisine are you studying?"

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, because the contemptible people think it's too troublesome to divide the cuisine, so I learned a little bit of each. If there's something I don't know, another chef can tell me the recipe and I'll be able to serve it to the guest in a flawless manner." Zhou Yu said.

Master Wu: "......"

God, how can there be such an arrogant person?

"Isn't it? What nonsense is he talking about? Could it be that there is no food in this world that he Zhou Yu will not have? Even if he learns more, he won't be so show-off, right?" Chen Ruolan thought that Li Erniu was enough to not speak, but she didn't expect his master to be even more heavyweight.

"Where is this? He used to say that it would not be too much to let him be a prime minister! I'm used to it......" Chen Jin accidentally told the truth, but he then added, "But I advise you not to question him lightly, because what he says is never false, even if something sounds extremely unbelievable to you, it is very likely that it is really within his ability......

"I said Xiao Jin, what kind of ecstasy soup did he pour you, why do you keep talking for him?" Chen Ruolan felt that something was not quite right with Chen Jin.

Chen Jin knew that his imperial sister didn't quite believe in Zhou Yu's ability, so he continued, "You wait, this kid will definitely be even more arrogant in the future!"

Chen Ruolan looked at the stage with his words.

"Since you have no intention of letting Li Erniu enter the imperial dining room, why did you let him participate in the competition?" Lord Wu, who didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, was still asking questions.

"Well, the contemptible people are going to open a branch of Juxian Lou in the capital, and they want to take this opportunity to make some fame. I thought it would be nice to be able to show my head unexpectedly, hey! As a result, a kitchen god accidentally came out, how annoying do you say? As for this imperial dining room, I heard that Chef Wang of Donghai House has admired it for a long time, you can communicate with him, he will definitely be willing to go!"

When Chef Wang heard this, he felt insulted, and he blew his beard and glared at him angrily.

"Puffer, don't teach!" Lord Wu waved his sleeves and left the table angrily.

"Alright, stop looking, it's time for me to wipe his ass!" Chen Jin sighed helplessly.
