Chapter 154 Follow-up
“The youngest top chef!”

"so amazing!"

"Xu Qing! Xu Qing!"

The enthusiastic crowd cheered loudly and crowded to get forward.

If the officers and soldiers had not tried their best to stop them, they would have rushed forward in an instant.

Xu Qing had never seen so many people shouting his name. While it made his blood boil, the enthusiasm on people's faces also made him feel a little cold.

The officers and soldiers who were trying their best to maintain order had veins bulging on their necks, were sweating profusely, and were on the verge of collapsing.

If so many people crowded in, their small body would be squeezed into a meat patty.

Xu Qing didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly left with the officers and soldiers.

Master Luo Tian saw Xu Qing leaving and said to everyone, "Let's go back too. This is not the place to talk."

Everyone at Yangquan Restaurant felt a little regretful. They came here specially to celebrate for Xu Qing as soon as possible, but their cheers of celebration were drowned out by the noise of the crowd, without even a splash. It was estimated that Xu Qing didn't even know they were there.

Now it’s all in vain, right?

Everyone at Yangquan Restaurant sighed helplessly and had to go back home to celebrate with Xu Qing!
The revelry crowd was still reluctant to leave, and Xu Qing's name resounded through the sky along with the cheers of the crowd, spreading throughout the entire city of Guangzhou.

From today on, his name will echo throughout the city of Guangzhou, no, it should be said that throughout the entire land of China.

"This is the youngest top chef..."

Jiang Cheng said with longing.

“Not only is he the youngest chef, but he is also the one who passed the most difficult chef assessment in history.”

Li Weiran was also full of envy.

The most difficult assessment for top chefs in history gave birth to the youngest top chef in history. This is a legendary story that will go down in history and be passed down forever.

Although they failed to become the one that attracted everyone's attention, being able to witness this legend with their own eyes and even taste the ultimate delicacy with their own mouths has made their life worthwhile.

After all, it is the ultimate delicacy made from the legendary spiritual bird - the black-bone chicken. Others can only smell the scent, but they have tasted it with their own mouths!

If this were to be made public, it would probably make a lot of people envious and feel sad.

"It's time for us to go back."

Jiang Cheng said to Li Weiran.

"Yes. Although I lost to you in this stunt chef assessment, I will win back next time."

Li Weiran is full of fighting spirit.

"No matter how many times, I will win."

Jiang Cheng's tone was calm, but his eyes were also shining with excitement.

They regard each other as lifelong enemies.

As for Xu Qing, he is no longer a person of the same dimension as them.

As soon as the two thought of Xu Qing, they immediately lost their fighting spirit.

The enemy must be a worthy opponent.

Isn't it just asking for trouble to choose an opponent who is much stronger than you as your rival?
"You two, wait a moment."

Suddenly, a call came from behind.

The two turned around and saw Chef Long Hongze striding over and standing in front of them.

Hong Ze said: "You two performed very well in this special chef assessment. In fact, you two already have the strength of special chefs. I am sorry for you in this assessment."

Seeing Chef Long apologizing to them in a humble manner, the two of them suddenly became flustered and shook their heads and waved their hands in panic.

Li Weiran said seriously: "Master Chef Long, please don't say that. This special chef assessment has given me something more precious than the special chef qualification. This is precious experience that will benefit me for the rest of my life."

This was not just a polite remark, it was exactly what Li Weiran was thinking.

He benefited a lot from his thinking on the topic "Absolute Taste", his continuous attempts and explorations during the assessment process, and the comments from the examiners, especially Chef Long.

And the last dish Xu Qing prepared opened a whole new door for him.

This is not something you get as a top chef.

Just as Chef Long said, he already possesses the ability of a top-class chef, and it is only a matter of time before he obtains the qualification.

Jiang Cheng also said: "Yes, I gained so many precious things in this assessment. I will never forget this top chef assessment in my life." For Jiang Cheng, the gains brought to him by this top chef assessment were beyond his imagination.

First, he was inspired by Xu Qing and overcame his fear of black-bone chickens.

After that, he tried his best to make the dish that satisfied him the most, making it delicious and close to the best taste.

Xu Qing's dishes showed him a higher level of realm, demonstrated the path to perfection, and strengthened his faith.

Although Jiang Cheng missed the victory, he gained something far beyond what victory could give him. That is faith, path and future, which are priceless treasures that cannot be measured with money.

Hong Ze looked at the expressions of the two and knew that they had gained a lot. This special chef assessment was thanks to Xu Qing, who almost single-handedly trained two reserve dragon chefs.

With these three people, the future of the culinary world will become even more brilliant.

Hong Ze nodded and said, "Even so, I still want to make some compensation to you two."

As he spoke, he handed two letters to the two men.

"This is the letter of recommendation I wrote. You can use this letter to work in the imperial kitchen. If you want to obtain the qualification of dragon chef in the future, I can also be your recommender."

"This……"

The two were stunned and took the letter subconsciously.

These were not just two ordinary letters. Chef Long was giving them both a bright future.

"Thank you, Chef Long!"

The two of them thanked him repeatedly with great joy.

Hongze just waved at them and left.

At the side door of the top chef examination room, Wu Cheng was waiting with a worried look on his face.

When the results of the re-examination were about to be announced, he could no longer sit still and came to the outside of the examination room early to wait.

Even though he knew that with Chef Long there everything would be safe, he still felt uneasy.

And this uneasiness reached its peak when that wonderful fragrance wafted out.

This was the most wonderful taste he had ever smelled. The aroma floating in the air alone was intoxicating. If he could really taste it, he wondered how unimaginably delicious it would be.

It was at that moment that Wu Cheng realized that he had been defeated.

He didn't expect that Xu Qing had hidden a trick in the previous cooking duel and had not shown his full strength.

At this moment, Xu Qing's full strength far exceeded his imagination.

When Hongze walked out of the door, he saw Wu Cheng with a bitter look on his face, shaking his head and sighing.

Hongze didn't feel embarrassed at all, he tried his best. Who could have thought that Xu Qing could be so amazing.

Hong Ze said calmly: "Xu Qing's strength is beyond our imagination. It's not unfair for you and me to lose. As chefs, we should be happy to have such an amazing person appear. Stop looking so miserable."

"But, Lord Hong, the secret skills of the imperial kitchen..."

"I accept the defeat. The secret art of the imperial kitchen has an outstanding successor like Xu Qing. If the founder knew about it in the afterlife, he would definitely be grinning from ear to ear."

Hongze said.

If you put yourself in his shoes, if his unique skill had an outstanding successor like Xu Qing, he would have no regrets even if he died.

After hearing what Chef Long said, Wu Cheng had no choice but to give up.

It seems that there is no room for improvement.

Hongze continued, "Just tell the people in the imperial kitchen that I was the one who spread the unique skill. If they have any questions, let them come to me."

"Sir!" Wu Cheng raised his head in surprise.

In this way, he will have the opportunity to return to the imperial kitchen.

Hong Ze shook his head and sighed, "This is the last time I will help you. You, stop being obsessed with power struggles. I really want you to taste the dish Xu Qing made. There is only one thing a chef should do, and that is the unremitting pursuit of ultimate deliciousness. Remember this sentence well."

"Yes, my lord..."

Wu Cheng's heart was filled with joy at being able to return to the imperial kitchen, and he didn't listen much to Chef Long's advice.

Seeing this, Hongze just sighed and said nothing more.
