Chapter 112 New Test
Elder Wu was so angry after this sure-win cooking competition ended in failure, but what made him even angrier was Wei Jie's performance.

"You're acting like this just because you lost once?"

Elder Wu said angrily.

From his youth to now, he has lost to Luo Tian several times. If he had sought death every time he lost, he would have been reincarnated long ago.

Wei Jie was speechless.

The feeling of powerlessness that Xu Qingshi felt cannot be understood by those who have not experienced it personally.

Elder Wu was there to judge the dishes as a judge, not as his opponent.

If you look at things from different angles, your experience will naturally be different.

What was presented in that dish was something he could never achieve no matter how hard he tried, no matter how much he learned or how hard he worked.

Wei Jie is extremely talented and has learned how to use his mind at a young age. Coupled with his hard work, it can be said that he has a smooth future. Even becoming a dragon chef is not out of reach.

However, in that Four Gods Egg, he saw something that was truly out of reach.

It was something beyond his ability, even beyond his imagination.

He had no intention of resisting, and even his self-confidence was destroyed in an instant.

Therefore, facing Elder Wu's scolding, Wei Jie had no choice but to remain silent.

Elder Wu saw his expression and knew that he would not be able to come out of it for a while, so he said in a cold voice: "You decide what to do in the future. If you want to continue working for me, stay here. If you want to die, don't die in front of me."

After saying that, he never looked at Wei Jie again.

Before Wei Jie picked himself up again, he was just a useless person.

And useless people are not worthy of his too much attention.

Elder Wu's words made Wei Jie feel even more pained. He was a person who didn't even have the right to die here.

Wei Jie turned and left silently.

Next to them, Chu Xianglong and Jiang Wei dared to come out only after seeing Wei Jie leave.

The atmosphere just now was too solemn, and they didn't dare to show up easily.

This competition was such a huge blow to Wei Jie. The usually proud and confident man seemed like a completely different person. He looked depressed and became emotionally sensitive.

Jiang Wei wanted to comfort Wei Jie, but he didn't know how to start, and he was afraid that saying the wrong thing would make him feel worse.

Chu Xianglong wanted to plead for Wei Jie, "Elder, Wei Jie..."

"Don't mention him anymore. He is useless now." Elder Wu said in a cold voice.

"The next thing is the key. The secret skills of the Imperial Kitchen must not be spread out! Especially not from me! If those people in the Imperial City knew about this, I'm afraid I would never be able to set foot in the Imperial Kitchen again in my life."

Elder Wu's face was extremely gloomy.

Each family has its own unique secret recipes and skills. Some are passed down from master to apprentice, while others can only be passed on to close relatives. The conditions for inheritance are different, but the same thing is that the skill must never be passed on to outsiders.

The same goes for the secret techniques of the imperial kitchen, which can only be circulated within the imperial kitchen and among Chef Long.

Wei Jie is not a Dragon Chef but he was able to learn the secret skills of the imperial kitchen, all thanks to Elder Wu.

Moreover, Wei Jie has good talent and can be a great help in the future if he is trained a little. That is why Elder Wu passed on the secret skills of the imperial kitchen to Wei Jie.

Wei Jie, who had obtained the secret skills of the imperial kitchen, was very grateful to Elder Wu.

Chu Xianglong also learned the secret skills of the imperial kitchen from Elder Wu, which is why he followed him wholeheartedly.

Jiang Wei was the only one among the three who failed to obtain the secret technique of the imperial kitchen. On the one hand, he was not capable enough, and on the other hand, Jiang Wei was not interested in this. The reason why Elder Wu dared to use the secret technique of the imperial kitchen as a bargaining chip in this cooking duel was mainly because he was sure of the result of the duel, and the secret technique of the imperial kitchen could also shock everyone in the Guangdong Chefs Association.

But I didn't expect the impossible result to happen.

"Sir, what should we do next?" Chu Xianglong asked.

"Why don't we sneak away quietly?" Jiang Wei said suddenly.

Elder Wu said angrily, "Shut up! How can I leave like a stray dog? Even if I have to leave, I have to hold my head high and walk with honor!"

Chu Xianglong frowned and said, "But the people from the Guangdong Chefs' Union will definitely not let us leave easily before we get the secret skills of the Imperial Kitchen."

Elder Wu sneered and said, "Therefore, I want them to not get the secret skills of the imperial kitchen, and they have no complaints about it. I also want them to know that even if we stay, they will not get the secret skills."

"How is this possible?" Chu Xianglong asked in surprise.

"Do you remember what the basic requirements are when learning the secrets of the imperial kitchen?"

Chu Xianglong nodded and said, "Remember. Those who learn the secret skills of the imperial kitchen must pass the special chef assessment."

"That's right. The guy who had a cooking duel with Wei Jie is not even a low-level chef. He is not qualified to inherit the secret skills of the imperial kitchen."

Chu Xianglong hesitated for a moment and said, "But, with the strength of that young man, it is not difficult for him to pass the special chef assessment."

After all, he even defeated Wei Jie, a top-class chef. Passing the top-class chef assessment should be as easy for him as eating and drinking.

Elder Wu said meaningfully, "What if the examiner for the special chef exam is Chef Long?"

"This……"

Hearing this, Chu Xianglong and Jiang Wei's eyes widened unconsciously.

No way?
Let Chef Long serve as the examiner for the top chef assessment?

This has never happened in history!

If that's the case, then the assessment for top chefs must be the most difficult ever!

Dragon chefs are not only skilled in cooking, but also have extremely high requirements for dishes. After all, the dishes made by dragon chefs are to be presented to the emperor, and any mistake can cost their lives.

They walk on the tightrope of life every day, so their requirements for the quality of dishes are almost harsh to the point of being abnormal.

When Chu Xianglong was working as an assistant in the imperial kitchen, he was often scolded by Chef Long.

Even though he had learned the secret skills of the imperial kitchen and realized the use of his mind, he was still like a beginner in front of Chef Long, unable to do this or that.

The dishes he thought were satisfactory would always be found fault with by Chef Long, who would scold him until he lost his temper.

Letting Chef Long be the examiner is a determination to prevent anyone from passing the assessment.

Elder Wu continued, "With Chef Long as the examiner, no matter how good that guy is, he won't pass. I will ask him to pass this special chef assessment as a condition for inheriting the secrets of the Imperial Kitchen. Since he can't pass, he naturally can't inherit the secrets of the Imperial Kitchen. In this way, even the Guangdong Chefs Association will have nothing to say."

Chu Xianglong asked: "Ordinary people would be scared away when they hear Chef Long's name. Will the boy really agree?"

Elder Wu said confidently: "He just won a big victory. He is young and full of confidence. He will definitely agree."

Jiang Wei hesitated for a while after hearing the conversation between the two, but finally couldn't help but say, "What if even Chef Long can't stop him?"

Especially when he saw Elder Wu's confident expression, he felt like the cooking showdown was happening again.

Elder Wu took a deep breath and said, "If he can really do it, then I will accept my fate."
