Chapter 155: Popular Food

Under the guidance of officers and soldiers, Xu Qing broke through the encirclement. From time to time, people around him tried to squeeze through, so it was extremely difficult for him to walk.

Finally they reached a deserted place and Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally safe.

"Thank you, officers."

Xu Qing said with a fist clasped.

One soldier said shyly: "Mr. Xu is too polite. We are just doing our job."

Although the child in front of them was only twelve years old, he was about the same age as their own children.

However, no matter who you are, once you become a top chef, your status will naturally rise.

Even though he was just a child, they did not dare to look down on him and treated Xu Qing with great respect.

"Mr. Xu, was that wonderful aroma from the dish you cooked?"

Another officer asked curiously.

Xu Qing nodded: "Yes. Can you smell it from such a distance?"

It’s really weird, the walls of the top chef examination room are so high, how can the fragrance still be transmitted?

"It's not just us. Almost everyone in Guangzhou has smelled it. Everyone is attracted by the wonderful fragrance and that's why they have gathered here."

"No wonder……"

Xu Qing suddenly realized that it was no wonder that so many people gathered outside.

He thought they were attracted by Chef Long's reputation just like they were during the initial interview, but he didn't expect it was because of him.

An officer said with regret: "Mr. Xu, that dish is so delicious. I have never smelled such a delicious smell. It's a pity that I didn't get to taste it."

Another person smiled and said, "Don't even think about it. That's a dish made by a top chef, specially for the examiners of top chefs. If you want to eat it, wait until your next life."

"Haha, I just said it casually..."

The man also smiled when he heard this.

Both of them were just joking and didn't really take the matter to heart.

However, their unintentional words made Xu Qing feel somewhat apologetic.

He has always believed that delicious food should not be kept on the shelf or become the privilege of certain people. Food should serve the public and everyone has the right to taste delicious food.

The purpose of dividing food into different grades and adding various restrictions on tasting is nothing more than to raise the price.

There is no such thing as noble or humble in food itself. The so-called noble and humble are just extra decorations given by people, who use food as an excuse to show off their status and power.

It is as if by eating a bite of so-called noble food, one can immediately become noble.

However, there is no distinction between noble and humble food, and the same goes for people.

But at this moment, the delicious food he made has become a privilege enjoyed exclusively by a few people.

Those who were attracted by his delicious food were unable to taste the delicacy they had longed for.

This is the chef's fault.

Xu Qing was thinking in his mind as he walked.

Black-bone chickens are scarce and it is difficult to satisfy the appetites of so many people.

If ordinary chickens are used instead, it will be difficult to bring out the unique flavor of black-bone chickens.

However, this is only for other chefs.

For Xu Qing, he once tried to bring out the taste of black-bone chicken with ordinary ingredients.

Now that he has actually cooked the black-bone chicken, Xu Qing has a deeper understanding of the taste of the black-bone chicken.

It is not difficult for him to bring out the taste of black-bone chicken with ordinary ingredients.

It just needs more improvements in the production process.

This is a stopgap measure for now.

When Kurou finds a way to breed black-bone chickens on a large scale, this legendary spiritual bird will eventually become a very common ingredient, entering the kitchens of thousands of households and becoming one of their many choices.

Only then will the legend truly become reality.

Delicious food is meant to be shared with the public.

Xu Qing thought about it carefully all the way before finally deciding on a method.

The two officers stopped and said, "Mr. Xu, we have arrived at Yangquan Restaurant. We will go back now." Xu Qing said, "Thank you for your hard work. If you two officers want to taste the dishes I made for the special chef assessment, please come to Yangquan Restaurant in two days and you can taste them then."

The two were shocked by this and said in disbelief, "Really? That's the dish for the special chef assessment! No special chef has ever done this before!"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "It wasn't there before, but it is now. Please don't forget it in two days."

"must!"

The two replied immediately.

An officer asked hesitantly, "Can I bring others to eat? I want my family to try it too."

It's such a pity that he is the only one eating such delicious food.

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Of course, you can invite as many people as you want, whether they are family, relatives or friends."

"Really?"

The two of them exclaimed in surprise.

"real."

"That's great! We will definitely come in two days!"

After they finished talking, they ran and jumped away happily.

Xu Qing looked at their leaving figures and suddenly shuddered for no apparent reason.

By then, won’t everyone in Guangzhou come to eat?
Ugh……

Then we have to start preparing now.

I don’t know if two days is enough.

Xu Qing walked into the door of Yangquan Restaurant with a sad face.

"Congratulations!"

Cheers rang out instantly, startling Xu Qing.

A group of people suddenly rushed up, lifted Xu Qing up together, and cheered as they lifted him up.

Xu Qing looked down and saw that everyone's face was filled with extremely warm and bright smiles.

Even Master Jidi, who usually had a serious face, was smiling at this moment.

Everyone cheered for a while before letting Xu Qing go.

Ku Rou came up to him and said, "Xu Qing, I smelled that fragrance. It's so wonderful! I really didn't expect the taste of black-bone chicken to be so wonderful! You don't know, every time the fragrance drifted past, people from all directions came over. It was really shocking!"

Xu Qing said seriously: "Kuru, thank you. This time it's all thanks to you."

Kurou scratched his head, "I didn't do anything, I just brought the black-bone chicken here. Fortunately, you are here to show its taste perfectly."

Master Luo Tian sighed and said, "What a pity. Ku Rou traveled so long and hard to bring the black-bone chicken here, but he didn't even get to eat a single bite of the delicious dish made from the black-bone chicken. He could only smell the flavor to satisfy his craving. What a pity!"

Ku Rou said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, it's enough for me to smell the smell..."

Master Luo Tian’s eyes suddenly widened.

Xu Qing understood what Master Luo Tian meant and said with a smile, "Master, you don't have to provoke me. I have already thought about remaking the dishes I made during the special chef assessment for everyone to taste."

Master Luo Tian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then let Ku Rou write a letter to inform the people over there and ask them to bring another black-bone chicken over."

Xu Qing shook his head and said, "No, even if we bring all the black-bone chickens here, it may not be enough. So I don't plan to use black-bone chickens as ingredients this time."

Master Luo Tian asked in surprise, "How much do you want to do?"

"It should be enough to feed everyone in Guangzhou." Xu Qing replied.

"Are you crazy?"

Master Luo Tian stood up in fright.

The people around were so shocked that they were speechless for a moment and stared at Xu Qing in a daze.

Xu Qing said: "I'm not crazy. Delicious food should not be kept in the closet, it should be available to the public."

Seeing Xu Qing's serious expression, Master Luo Tian calmed down and said, "In that case, we must start preparing now."

"Let's help too!" the chefs and waiters around said together.

Xu Qing nodded: "Okay, let's work hard together!"
