The arch-enemy was full of confidence and felt that he was sure to win.

Xu Ying was not idle. She had previously agreed with the Gu family on the recipes she would prepare, a total of eight dishes.

There were a few meat dishes and a few vegetarian dishes. Due to the special circumstances, there could not be too much waste, so the menu prepared by Xu Ying was just right.

When Mother Gu saw the menu, she was extremely satisfied with Xu Ying.

Fried peanuts were served first along with the cold dishes. During the rest of the time, Xu Ying was busy making other dishes, such as mushroom stewed chicken soup and eight-treasure rice pudding.

The cold dishes were served at around eleven o'clock and everyone started eating.

There are twelve people at one table, so ten tables are not a small number of people, and they all eat the peanuts.

Xu Ying heard the system's continuous notification sound [Congratulations to the host, favorability value +1, +1...]

[Congratulations to the host, the favorability value is 200, and you have unlocked the first-level vegetarian abalone with mushrooms, the second-level fried vegetarian meatballs, a bag of rice and flour, and a random pack of poison. ]

When Xu Ying heard the two recipes, her face lit up with joy. The vegetarian abalone with mushrooms is more suitable for wedding banquets because it is not extravagant as a vegetarian dish and most importantly, it looks like a meat dish so it won't lose face.

As Xu Ying prepared dish after dish, the middle-aged man's face was full of surprise and excitement: "You lose."

The enemy refused to give up, and said, "No matter how good the aroma is, it's only good when it tastes good in your mouth."

The middle-aged man laughed and walked towards Xu Ying. This time, there was no contempt in his eyes, and he did not dare to despise the little girl in front of him: "Girl, can we taste the food you cooked?"

Xu Ying raised her eyebrows and nodded. She did not refuse any favorability points: "Try it, but take your own bowl."

Xu Ying was quite particular. She didn't want the dishes to be stained with their saliva, as that would be disrespectful to the diners.

Seeing that he agreed, the middle-aged man was full of joy and gratitude and said, "Thank you, young lady. Uncle Chen was rude just now. I shouldn't look down on you.

I just thought that you didn't have calluses on your hands, and I thought you were lying. Most people will have calluses on their hands if they hold a kitchen knife or a spatula for a long time.

I’m sorry, girl.”

So that's how it is. Xu Ying wasn't a cold-blooded person. Seeing his sincere apology, she smiled and said, "It's okay, Uncle Chen. I just have a good talent.

You may not believe it, but I don’t often go into the kitchen, but cooking is something I was born to do. I learned it just by watching others cook a few times.”

Uncle Chen choked. This man was so annoying that he took the bowl and filled it with some dishes. But he was so shocked by just one bite that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Old Sun, you lose. Try it. It's simply the most delicious food on earth. It's on par with Chef Ge's, or even better."

The mortal enemy who betrayed Lao Sun said with disdain: "Lao Chen, you really put a lot of effort into winning against you. Are you ashamed to say such a thing against your will~"

Before his mouth closed, Lao Chen stuffed a piece of chicken into his mouth.

Old Sun chewed involuntarily for a few times, then looked surprised and shocked, and with a gulp, the chicken was swallowed with the movement of his throat. He squinted his eyes and didn't expect that he had seen it wrong.

He ate the meat with a look of enjoyment: "Hey, I didn't expect you to get two bottles of my wine for nothing."

Old Sun racked his brains but couldn't figure out why a little girl could do better than him.

Chef Ge, his ancestors were all imperial chefs, that's all, but what about that little girl? Old Sun went over to ask, and after a few questions, he was so angry that he almost fell down.

The girl said directly: "Maybe it's a talent. I don't cook often, but as long as I take a look, I can basically cook it..."

Old Sun was so annoyed that he ate a few more bites of Xu Ying's food out of anger.

After Xu Ying's meal was served, a group of people started fighting over the food: "Why is this meat so delicious!"

"Yes, this chicken soup smells so good. How much have you drunk? Leave some for us."

"I only drank a little, stop talking nonsense." The person who drank a few more sips refused to admit it out of guilt.

Even though Mother Gu had tasted the food cooked by Xu Ying before, she was captivated again. Everyone at the banquet started eating with big mouthfuls, regardless of their image. Not even a drop of soup was spared, and they drank it all up with their steamed buns.

After finishing his work at the banquet, Father Gu went to the director of the state-owned restaurant with his glass in hand and said, "Director Hong, did you enjoy the meal?"

Director Hong looked very satisfied while eating. He even wanted to ask who cooked the meal!

Unexpectedly, Dr. Gu came and said with a smile: "Dr. Gu, the dishes cooked by your chef are really good. If Old Ge hadn't been at work, I would have thought you had invited Old Ge to come."

Father Gu shook his head and laughed, "No way, I hired several chefs for this meal, and several of the main dishes were cooked by a girl."

“Oh! Girl, you are such a great cook at such a young age. You really should be given priority over young people.” Director Hong said, raising his glass and drinking it in one gulp.

"I heard that you are recruiting in the kitchen now?" As soon as Father Gu said this, Director Hong immediately knew what was going on.

Father Gu looked embarrassed when he was stared at. This was his first time asking someone for help. He had no idea that he was being tricked by Director Hong, the smart old man.

Director Hong agreed readily: "This girl is a great cook and is perfect for our state-owned restaurant. Ask her to go back and prepare some food and report in the day after tomorrow."

When Father Gu heard this, he smiled gratefully at him and said, "Thank you, Director Hong. You can come to the hospital to find me if you have any problems in the future."

Who would go to the hospital to see you for no reason? However, after hearing what Gu's father said, Director Hong understood in his heart that Dr. Gu would owe him a favor from now on.

Originally, their restaurant was recruiting, and this girl's cooking skills were as good as Chef Ge's, so he wanted to hire her. He didn't expect that Dr. Gu would ask for it in person.

Oh, this girl is so lucky that Dr. Gu owes her a favor. To put it bluntly, this is a favor that saves her life.

Xu Ying continued to work in the kitchen, and Father Gu hurried to the kitchen: "Yingying, come with me to the front after dinner. I have told Director Hong of the state-owned restaurant that you will go to work the day after tomorrow."

Xu Ying was delighted when she heard this and said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Gu."

She knew very well how difficult it was to find a job nowadays, let alone a job like running a state-owned restaurant which was high-class and lucrative.

"Then I'll go first!" said Father Gu.

After Xu Ying finished the last dish, she took off her hat and hurried to the banquet.

"Yingying, here it is!" Father Gu shouted.

Xu Ying heard the voice and ran towards Gu's father. Looking at the smiling middle-aged man beside her, she smiled and shouted, "Uncle Gu, this must be Director Hong from the state-owned restaurant.

Today I see that he is indeed a kind leader who treats people with kindness.”

When Director Hong heard this, regardless of whether it was true or not, he was so happy that he said, "You are the chef who made this dish.

You are so young, but you are amazing. If you are really promising, you will report to work the day after tomorrow."
