Chapter 292 Sigh
"Ugh……"
Xu Qing walked out of the room and sighed unconsciously.
He had a headache not being able to handle the relationship with the Yongling Sword well.
Unexpectedly, another sigh sounded at the same time.
Xu Qing turned his head and found that the person who sighed was Master Luo Tian.
Master Luo Tian said: "Xu Qing, you came at the right time. Something happened in Shanghai."
"Shanghai?"
"Yes. I never thought that while the dark cuisine community was fighting for the Eternal Spirit Sword, they also sent another team to Shanghai to snatch the Dragon-Turning Pot."
"The Dragon-Turning Pot has also appeared?"
Xu Qing asked in surprise.
Master Luo Tian said: "It has not really appeared in the world, but there have always been rumors that the Dragon Pot is sealed in Shanghai. But no one knows where it is exactly."
"In that case, people in the dark cuisine world shouldn't be able to find it either."
"No, the group of people in the dark cooking world got the news from somewhere and narrowed down the seal location of the Rotating Dragon Pot to a deep mountain. They sent a large number of people to look for it. This alarmed the Shanghai cooking world, and they sent people to stop the people in the dark cooking world. The two sides had a fierce conflict and finally decided to decide the winner with a cooking duel. The winner will own the legendary kitchenware."
"What's the result?"
"The result is naturally that the Shanghai culinary world was defeated. The people in the dark cuisine world are really powerful. They beat the top chefs in the Shanghai culinary world without any chance to fight back. The strongest chef of Longzhen Restaurant was also defeated by Chef Lin from the dark cuisine world."
Xu Qing frowned and said, "So, the Dragon Pot has fallen into the hands of the dark cuisine world?"
"it's not true."
Master Luo Tian sighed and said.
Xu Qing asked in surprise: "Ah? But the people in the Shanghai culinary world have been defeated, who else can resist the people in the dark cuisine world?"
"It is said that when the Shanghai culinary world was defeated, a man emerged from the crowd and said he wanted to challenge the dark culinary world. At that time, no one was optimistic about him, and the people in the dark culinary world looked down on him even more. No wonder, they had just defeated the top chefs in the Shanghai culinary world, who else could beat them? Unexpectedly, this man defeated everyone in the dark culinary world by himself and won."
Xu Qing exclaimed: "Who is so powerful?"
Master Luo Tian said with emotion: "I don't know. Later, the Shanghai culinary community used all their connections to investigate him, but found that this person was a mystery. No one knew his name or origin. It was as if he had popped out of a stone."
Xu Qing said, "Maybe it's some strange hermit. Master Abei once said that there are many great chefs in China who live in seclusion in the mountains and fields, not caring about fame and reputation, but living a simple life. Although he is a mysterious person whose origin is unknown, it's good that he can keep the legendary kitchen utensils from being snatched away by the dark culinary world."
"It's not that simple."
Master Luo Tian sighed and said, "If this matter could be resolved so easily, I wouldn't be so worried and sighing."
Master Luo Tian continued: "Do you still remember what the rules are between the dark cuisine world and the Shanghai cuisine world?"
Xu Qing replied: "The winner gets the legendary kitchenware."
"That's right. But now, the winner is neither from the Shanghai culinary world nor from the dark culinary world. He is a mysterious person whose name and origin are unknown. After obtaining the legendary kitchen utensils, this person wants to take them away from Shanghai. This makes it difficult for the people in the Shanghai culinary world to make a decision."
Xu Qing frowned and said, "But he helped the Shanghai culinary community to defeat the dark cooking community. According to the rules of the culinary duel, the legendary kitchen utensils should naturally belong to him."
After hearing this, Master Luo Tian shook his head and laughed, "What do you think the legendary kitchenware is?"
Xu Qing said: "It is a magical kitchen utensil with unique spirituality and extraordinary abilities." Master Luo Tian said: "Yes. But in addition to that, it is also a symbol of power and status."
Master Luo Tian looked in the direction of the Guangdong Chefs Association and said, "You may not know how much pressure the Guangdong Chefs Association has been under after the loss of the Yongling Knife. Almost everyone was criticizing them. At that time, not only the chefs in Guangzhou, but also ordinary people and even children would spit on them. The legendary kitchen utensils are not just legends, they are more like a belief, a living legend. Its importance in people's hearts is far beyond imagination."
"The position of the Guangzhou Chefs' Association was precarious at the time. If they were not careful, the Guangzhou Chefs' Association, which had ruled the Guangzhou culinary world for many years, would lose its power and be completely driven out of power. After all, if they could even lose the legendary kitchen utensils, what else could they trust?"
"So when the God's Knife Skills Contest was held, the Guangdong Chefs Association invited everyone to watch, trying to restore its reputation and regain everyone's recognition and trust. This is all thanks to you. If you hadn't held two extremely exciting cooking contests in front of the audience, feasting everyone's eyes and taste buds, and successfully taking back the legendary kitchen utensils, the Guangdong Chefs Association would have been able to avenge its previous shame and restore its reputation."
"Guangdong Chefs Association has overcome a life-and-death crisis. Now, the leaders of Shanghai's kitchen industry are facing this life-and-death crisis. If they lose the legendary kitchen utensils, they will also lose the trust and support of Shanghai people. Therefore, no matter what, the legendary kitchen utensils must not be handed over to a stranger."
After listening to Master Luo Tian, Xu Qing realized the seriousness of the problem.
Xu Qing asked: "But they are facing a top chef who has defeated all the strong men in the dark cooking world by himself. How can they take back the legendary kitchen utensils from this person?"
Master Luo Tian said: "That's the problem... they can't defeat them on their own, so they want to ask for external help."
"Foreign aid? Who is it?"
Master Luo Tian stared at him and said, "You."
"What, me?"
Xu Qing asked in surprise.
Master Luo Tian nodded and said, "Yes, it's you."
Xu Qing frowned and said, "This is not right. To the Shanghai culinary community, I am also an outsider."
"Don't forget, you are the youngest top chef in history, you have the golden robe bestowed by the emperor, and you have taken back the legendary kitchen utensils. Your reputation is not comparable to that of an unknown person. Even if the Dragon Pot is handed over to you, the leaders of the Shanghai kitchen world will not be considered a failure."
"But……"
Xu Qing didn't want to get involved in this matter. According to his thinking, since the other party won, it was only natural for them to get the legendary kitchen utensils. It was unreasonable for the Shanghai kitchen community to insist on not giving them.
But from the perspective of Shanghai's culinary community, they also have their own difficulties.
So we can’t simply say who is right or wrong.
Master Luo Tian looked at Xu Qing's worried face and said, "Are you worried? Now you understand why I sigh, right?"
"Ugh……"
Xu Qing sighed again, "Master, what do you think I should do?"
Master Luo Tian said, "I think it's best for you to go to Shanghai. As for what to do next, whether you want to keep the legendary kitchen utensils or give them to the winner, it's up to you. Don't think that you have to do things according to the Shanghai culinary community's request."
Xu Qing thought about it and said, "Okay."
Moreover, he was indeed very curious about what kind of person could single-handedly defeat the strong men sent by the dark culinary world, especially Chef Lin.
Chef Lin, who was sent to find the legendary kitchen utensils, must be very capable.
In the end, that person defeated them all, which was truly extraordinary.
