Upon hearing Master Niu's words, the group that arrived later was completely dumbfounded.

Everyone turned their eyes to Wang Defa. Some even looked at Master Niu with a half-smile, tsk tsk, this is interesting.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Wang Defa quickly shook his head: "I didn't do it, it was him."

He then pointed at the MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association).

Everyone looked at Ma Hua with some surprise.

No way, could it really have been that young guy? So young???

Some people, skeptical, picked up a piece from another plate and tasted it.

After eating, his expression changed drastically. "Ugh, what is this? Who made this? It's a complete waste!"

Actually, Master Niu's work was alright, but compared to what Ma Hua just did, it was just unbearable to look at.

Master Niu's face darkened further, and he said coldly, "Old Li, this is what I made."

What's wrong? Is it bad?

"Ah." Old Li was completely dumbfounded. No way, this Nine-Turned Intestines dish was actually made by Master Niu himself?

They've been colleagues for years, after all. Old Li could only try to salvage Master Niu's reputation: "Old Niu,..."

Not to criticize you, but with your skill level, this shouldn't be happening. What's wrong?

"You didn't slack off again and use that little apprentice of yours, did you?"

Old Li's words brought Master Niu no comfort whatsoever.

Anyway, Master Niu felt that Old Li was trying to insert something into his lungs.

"This is something I made myself," Master Niu said with a dark face.

After hearing the conversation between Master Li and Master Niu, everyone looked at Ma Hua with some surprise.

Then everyone's eyes turned to Ma Hua, sizing him up. Who was this kid?

The food is so delicious! Whose subordinate is this?

"Ahem, young man, who are you?" Old Li asked with some surprise, eager to know who Ma Hua was.

“My name is Ma Hua, and I’m a cook at the steel rolling mill,” Ma Hua chuckled.

"What?! What do you say you do?" everyone exclaimed in surprise.

A cook at a steel rolling mill? Aren't factory cooks only at level six at most?

When did you become such a good cook?

"Yes, it's the sixth canteen at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. I even took my chef's certificate exam here before."

MCA suddenly got a mischievous streak. They made a direct joke.

Now not only did Master Niu's face darken, but the others' expressions also turned somewhat grim.

Who brought this person today, and what is their intention? Are they here to challenge us at Fengzeyuan?

Your Shandong cuisine is so delicious. Are you trying to embarrass everyone in our restaurant?

Old Li turned to Master Niu and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Old Niu, is this your apprentice?"

Master Niu quickly shook his head to indicate that it wasn't him: "This person was brought by Master Wang."

Before anyone could look at Wang Defa, he said, "Hehe, don't look at me."

"I brought him here, but I'm not his teacher. As you all know, I'm good at Sichuan cuisine."

Wang Defa paused for a moment before leisurely saying, "Originally, I planned to take people as my apprentices."

Later I discovered that her cooking skills were no less than mine.

"Why would I accept anything? Look, this is Sichuan cuisine made by a human being."

All eyes were once again drawn to the pot of boiled fish that Wang Defa was pointing to.

"This dish is also a human creation, and it's called boiled fish," Wang Defa explained slowly.

When everyone heard Wang Defa say this, their mouths dropped open in astonishment. How could this be?

This person looks to be around 20 years old.

Not only is he good at Shandong cuisine, but he can also create his own Sichuan cuisine. Although the group didn't get to taste this dish,

But just by looking at the color and smelling the aroma, you can tell how delicious, how good it is to eat with rice, and how satisfying it is.

At this moment, Old Li looked at Ma Hua with shining eyes: "Young man,"

"Would you be interested in coming to our Fengzeyuan restaurant? Your skills are simply being wasted in the factory."

Ma Hua didn't expect this person to want to recruit him, but what's the point of him doing it? After the New Year...

You're not even as good as me. I remember Fengzeyuan is going to be turned into a public canteen for the people in the second half of next year.

If I come now, wouldn't I be walking into a trap?

“I’m sorry, I’m quite comfortable at the factory,” Ma Hua said directly.

Old Li didn't expect MCA to refuse outright. Putting aside everything else...

Fengzeyuan is a well-known restaurant in Beijing, with high salaries and relatively little work.

The fact that MCA would refuse is ridiculous. What future is there in working in a factory and cooking in large batches?

Thinking of this, Old Li gave Wang Defa a wink. Unfortunately, Wang Defa ignored it.

What are you Chinese doing here in our run-down restaurant? Are you going to keep scheming against each other?

Wouldn't it be better for MCA to go directly to the Ministry of Industry with his skills? Besides, MCA came from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Going to the Ministry of Industry would definitely earn you the attention of the leaders, and the salary and benefits would be much higher than at Fengzeyuan.

Why make people go to the trouble of seeking something far away?

Seeing Wang Defa's expression, Old Li knew that things were hopeless.

All I could do was sigh in my heart, "Heroes emerge from among the young."

MCA didn't have time to pay them any attention, and went straight to Master Niu: "Master Niu, how about it, are you convinced or not?"

Master Niu thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly Ma Hua suddenly brought it up.

And in front of so many people, his face flushed red: "Just tell me..."

"I'll admit defeat if you tell me who your master is."

"Tsk tsk, can't accept defeat, huh? I never expected this. That's the kind of person the chef at Fengzeyuan is."

Ma Hua scoffed, "I already said I don't have a master, why doesn't this person believe me?"

When Master Li and the others heard Master Niu's conversation with Ma Hua, they all looked at Wang Defa with puzzled expressions.
