Chef Liu shook his head and said, "No need. You can just use the ingredients from our kitchen. Even though you're here to challenge us, our Yuanzun Hotel isn't that stingy. We'll still give you some money for the ingredients."
Xia Tian said with embarrassment on his face: "Isn't this a bad idea? It seems like I'm deliberately taking advantage of you."
Chef Liu: "There's nothing wrong with that. We don't allow outside ingredients to enter here, so you can only use our ingredients. You also said that both sides use the same ingredients, so this is to better ensure the fairness of the competition!"
Xia Tian nodded: "Okay, then let's do as you say. Just tell me how much it costs later, and I'll transfer the money for the ingredients to you."
"No need, just consider it as your wages for doing odd jobs in the store for a week." Chef Liu also stubbornly refused to pay Xia Tian.
"Then I wonder when it's convenient for you? When can we start?" Xia Tian didn't continue to worry about the ingredients.
Chef Liu was also very straightforward and immediately made the decision: "It's not inconvenient at all. I can take you to the kitchen right now and we'll get started right away."
Xia Tian asked in surprise, "Don't you need to discuss this with the boss before kicking out the club?"
Chef Liu said confidently, "No need. I have the final say on kitchen matters."
After saying that, he took a step forward and walked straight towards the kitchen.
He Yunting, who had deliberately lagged behind for a few steps, approached Xia Tian and whispered, "Xia Tian, are you sure? I heard that Chef Liu is very capable. Our hotel owner even gave away hotel shares to invite him here."
After listening to He Yunting's introduction, Xia Tian's eyes showed a hint of relief.
"I didn't expect that a random shop I picked up would actually have quite a background. But it's a good thing this way. It makes things much simpler for him to have shares, so that he won't lose his job if I defeat him later. After all, we have no grudges against each other. If I really caused him to lose his job because of such a small matter, I would feel very guilty."
Seeing Xia Tian still laughing and looking nonchalant, Qiu Mengyun said unhappily, "It's already this hour, and you still have the time to worry about others. You should take care of yourself first."
Not only did Qiu Mengyun feel that Xia Tian was too confident, but even the fans in the live broadcast room felt that Xia Tian was being too arrogant.
: Holy shit, Xia Tian has absolutely no idea about the culinary world, right? How dare he even step into Master Liu's shoes?
: Haha, this guy is really good at picking. He actually found the store where Master Liu is in charge. This time he is really dead and there is no chance of rescue.
: Holy shit, what the hell is going on? Is this Chef Liu really that great in the culinary world? Someone's got some big shoes to fill, please come out and explain!
I can tell you're not from the culinary world, let alone food lovers. Otherwise, you wouldn't have heard of Master Liu Zhenxing. His mentor is a leading Sichuan cuisine master, a master who regularly cooks for leaders and foreign guests. Master Liu himself is also a renowned chef. Although trained in Sichuan cuisine, he's proficient in Sichuan, Hunan, Shandong, and Cantonese cuisine, making him a leading figure among the younger generation of chefs.
: Damn! Is this true? Is Xia Tian so unlucky that he just picked up a random restaurant and ran into such an awesome chef?
Aren't they all five-star hotels? Is there a huge gap between these chefs?
: You know nothing. Five-star is just the upper limit for this hotel, not for Chef Liu.
: I won't say anything more. Let's observe a three-second silence for Xia Tian. For the next week, this live broadcast room will be useless. I can only watch Xia Tian doing odd jobs in the kitchen.
: I finally understand why Xia Tian acted so confident. He probably knew he was going to lose, so he pretended to be confident on purpose, not wanting to lose both himself and the battle.
…
Under the leadership of Chef Liu, Xia Tian and his companions arrived at the kitchen of Yuanzun Hotel without any obstruction.
It must be said that the kitchen of a five-star hotel is truly magnificent. Not only is the space large, but there are also many people working inside. At this moment alone, there are dozens of people busy inside.
After entering the kitchen, Chef Liu clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.
"Brothers, stop for a moment."
"Someone came to challenge us today. Everyone, please be more alert and let them know what it means to hit a wall."
"And they just announced that if we lose, not only will they not ask for anything, they'll even teach us how to cook two dishes for free. Do you want a learning opportunity like this?"
"I don't want to!" As soon as Chef Liu finished speaking, a loud and orderly response came from the kitchen.
"Since none of you want to do it, then show your abilities and let him stay in the kitchen and do odd jobs for us for a week for free. Do you have the confidence?"
"have!"
“Have faith!”
Seeing that everyone was so high-spirited, they all looked like they were injected with chicken blood.
Chef Liu nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, now continue with your work. When I officially start the sparring session later, those of you who are not busy can come over and observe and learn."
After giving instructions to his subordinates, Chef Liu turned to look at Xia Tian who was following behind him and asked, "How are you, young man? Are you still as confident as before?"
Xia Tian laughed and said, "Is there any difference now compared to before? We're competing in culinary skills, not in a tug-of-war competition. Whoever has more people or louder voices can win."
"Hahaha! Okay, I like your confidence and composure. If the dishes you cook later are passable, I may consider taking you as my apprentice." Seeing that Xia Tian was still as confident as ever, Chef Liu began to admire him a little.
