Many internationally renowned chefs came to the food festival in the resort city of H in order to establish their own reputations and brands.
Passing by one makeshift shop after another, the enticing aroma wafting from the shops continuously attracted the attention of passersby. As he walked along, Luo Yu saw that almost every shop was packed with customers. The streets were crowded with people, and it was very lively. Luo Yu and Mo Han held Luo Xiaobaozi, and the family of four walked and stopped frequently. Passersby, both men and women, could not help but take a few more glances at this extremely good-looking family of four.
"It smells so good. Dad, I want to eat that." Lolo said, pointing to a barbecue restaurant with a long queue at the door.
Because the makeshift shop wasn't very large, the layout was immediately apparent from the entrance. Inside, there was a self-service barbecue stall, while outside, two chefs in uniforms were grilling meat at the entrance. The aroma of the barbecue could be smelled from several meters away. Luo Luo practically drooled as he watched the two chefs twirling the lamb skewers.
The food smelled delicious. Seeing the people sitting in the shop eating with gusto, and then looking at his son's greedy expression, Luo Yu said to Mo Han, "Go and take a look."
As I approached, I heard people in the queue talking among themselves.
"I heard that the chef of this restaurant is from Country H. He is a top-notch chef in Country H. His barbecue is also very famous in Country H."
"If you're so amazing, why are you still at this food festival?"
"You probably don't know this, but these two chefs are planning to open a barbecue restaurant in our H City, so they came to this food festival to make a name for themselves. So we're lucky today."
"No wonder there are so many people here, he's a famous chef! I have to try him then."
…
A top-notch chef from Country H? Luo Yu watched the two chefs flipping the meat on the grill and applying the sauce, and couldn't help but nod. It was indeed good, and the color of the meat showed it was fresh. He just didn't know how it would taste.
"I want it, I want it." Luo Luo grabbed the clothes on Luo Yu's chest and looked at Luo Yu pitifully.
"Okay, I get it, little foodie." Luo Yu pinched Luo Luo's little nose, then walked over to line up. Mo Han followed behind Luo Yu holding Mo Mo.
"It's not good for children to eat such greasy food, and barbecued meat can easily cause indigestion." Mo Han raised his eyebrows and said.
"I know, but if you don't let this little greedy cat have a taste, he will cry." Luo Yu said with a smile.
Luo Luo pouted and argued, "Daddy is lying. Luo Luo won't cry."
After waiting in line for almost ten minutes, it was Luo Yu and others' turn. Luo Yu didn't buy too much, just two skewers and handed one to Mo Han. Luo Yu picked up a skewer, blew it to cool it down, and handed it to Luo Luo's mouth. After Luo Luo took a bite, his little face wrinkled into a ball.
Mo Mo over there took a small bite from Mo Han's hand, and the result was the same as Luo Xiaobaozi's, with his whole face wrinkled.
Mo Han raised his eyebrows and looked at the skewers in his hand, then took a bite, but ended up spitting it out. The three of them, father and son, had the same expression in perfect sync.
Luo Yu couldn't help but smiled and asked, "How is it? Is it not delicious?"
Luo Luo: "It's not as delicious as what Daddy makes."
Momo: "It's not tasty."
Mo Han: "It tastes terrible."
Each one was shorter and shorter, more disdainful than the last. Even if the food made by a first-class chef wasn't particularly delicious, it shouldn't be that bad, right? Luo Yu felt that he needed to try it himself to know for sure.
The barbecue tasted fat but not greasy, and the cooking time was just right. However, Luo Yu, like the three father and son, frowned.
There was nothing wrong with the barbecue itself, but it was ruined by the sauce. The first bite was truly delicious, a rich, meaty aroma bursting through the mouth. However, it wasn't the purest meat flavor. While the sauce had a flavor-enhancing effect, it was too strong, not only failing to extract the purest meaty aroma, but actually counter-productive, stripping the original flavor of the barbecue. Of course, the average person wouldn't be able to tell, but Luo Yu had already spoiled the father and son's appetites. Just like someone who regularly savors high-quality, fresh seafood, once they encounter something stale, their tongue will immediately react with disgust.
Luo Yu took the kebab from Mo Han's hand and threw it into the trash can not far away along with the one in his hand. After wiping his hands, he was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by someone.
"etc."
Although he spoke Chinese, his pronunciation was not very accurate and had a foreign accent.
Luo Yu and Mo Han's outstanding looks, coupled with their two adorable little buns, particularly attracted attention. The two barbecue chefs naturally noticed them as well. They had originally thought that after the family of four tasted their barbecue, they would express their admiration and praise like everyone else. Unexpectedly, the family of four all looked disgusted and threw the skewers away. This was definitely an insult to them.
Luo Yu and Mo Han turned around holding the little bun. Luo Yu didn't say anything. Mo Han asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
"What's the matter? You actually said our barbecue wasn't tasty. That's questioning our cooking skills. We want to challenge you." Both of them were from Country H. This kind of thing happens all the time in the culinary world. If you want to question a chef's cooking skills, you have to show that your cooking skills are better than the chef's. Otherwise, it will be considered malicious slander. Then the chef being questioned can challenge the questioner.
"Challenging us? On what grounds?" Mo Han asked in a cold tone.
"We are first-class chefs. Since you question our cooking skills, you must accept our challenge." The two chefs even took out their first-class chef certificates.
"Boring." Mo Han hugged Mo Mo and turned around, not wanting to pay any attention to them. Luo Yu also didn't want to get entangled with them.
But how could the two chefs just let them go like that? Their cooking skills were questioned in front of so many people. They had originally planned to open a barbecue branch in H City. If they didn't completely clear their names, their reputation would be damaged.
"Are you scared? If you don't accept our challenge, it means you admit defeat. If you admit defeat, please apologize to us for what happened just now."
The two chefs spoke in a very firm tone, as if they would not let Luo Yu and the others leave unless they apologized.
The original mood of going out to play was instantly ruined by the two of them. Mo Han narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Apologize? I'm afraid you can't bear it."
This was a prelude to Mo Han getting angry. Luo Yu grabbed Mo Han and said to him, "Let me do it."
As a chef himself, Luo Yu certainly understood the feelings of the two chefs, but what they did was a bit too much.
"I remember that there's a rule in the culinary world that if a chef being questioned wants to issue a challenge, then the questioner must also be a chef. Only then can the chef being questioned issue a challenge. Stopping us without asking clearly seems a bit inappropriate."
Luo Yu's words made everyone present couldn't help but agree with him.
"That's right, although your barbecue is good, everyone has different tastes, and you can't force others to say yours is delicious."
"That's a bit too much. He's just a guest, and he just spoke his mind. Challenging him without asking for clarification is bullying, isn't it?"
"They are all first-class chefs. The other person might just be an ordinary person who doesn't know how to cook. It's totally inappropriate for them to do this."
"If someone who's also a chef questions them, there's nothing wrong with them challenging them, but I'm not..."
"This is simply bullying the weak."
"They're both handsome guys, and the two little ones are so cute, don't bully them..."
"Handsome boy, accept their challenge, we support you..."
…
Some people stand up for justice, while others are not afraid of trouble and just want to stir up trouble and watch the fun.
Hearing the complaints from the people around them, the two chefs suddenly remembered that the people they were facing were just ordinary customers and might not be chefs from the same profession. This made them feel awkward because if those two people really weren't chefs, then their challenge was really just a joke.
"I accept your challenge."
Just when the two chefs were at a loss, Luo Yu suddenly stood up.
Everyone looked at the handsome boy in astonishment. No way? Seriously?
"Xiao Luo..." Mo Han disagreed.
However, Luo Yu was very firm in his attitude. "Since they have already issued a challenge to me, if I don't accept it, it means that my cooking skills are not as good as theirs. In that case, let's have a competition." After all, it was not appropriate for them to question other people's cooking skills in front of their store, so Luo Yu had to accept their challenge. In that way, they could raise their doubts openly.
The two chefs didn't expect the handsome boy in front of them to agree to their challenge. One of the tall middle-aged chefs asked, "Are you a chef too?"
Luo Yu nodded, "I am. In that case, let's get started quickly." Luo Yu was planning to take a stroll with Mo Han and the others later!
Chinese people love to join in the fun. This food festival was already lively enough, and now there was even a challenge. Two top-level chefs were challenging a handsome young man. This was going to be a good show. More and more people gathered around, and most of them were there to watch the fun.
"I heard that at the H Country BBQ restaurant up ahead, two BBQ chefs are going to challenge a passerby."
"No way, go and take a look."
"Really? Aren't these two chefs too shameless?"
"I heard that boy is also a chef, haha. I thought I was here just to eat delicious food today, but I didn't expect to see such a good show. No, hurry up and take a picture and post it on WeChat Moments later."
"Two against one? Isn't that a bit unfair? And we're competing in barbecue?"
"It's unfair. It's rare to see such a handsome guy. I don't know how good he is at cooking, but come on!"
"Strong support."
"Stop arguing, it's time to start."
