Chapter 294 Dragon Town Restaurant
Shen Cong's tone was sincere, and they were indeed sincere.

If Xu Qing had not received prior advice from Master Luo Tian and knew that there were conflicts of interest and power behind the legendary kitchen utensils, he would probably have been moved to the point of wanting to be their thug.

Just talking about their grand and magnificent welcome ceremony, few people could withstand it.

Anyone who has even a hint of vanity in his heart will get great satisfaction from this.

The strong sense of accomplishment that comes from being called by name by a large number of people is incomparable to anything else.

Therefore, after this welcome ceremony, Shen Cong had enough confidence that he could get Xu Qing's full support.

However, after being reminded by Master Luo Tian, ​​Xu Qing, coupled with his own avoidance of power, even though Xu Qing was excited by the cheers of the people before, he had calmed down at this moment.

Xu Qing did not agree directly, but changed the subject and said, "President Shen, is that mysterious person really that powerful?"

Seeing that Xu Qing did not agree directly, Shen Cong felt a little regretful, but he quickly put away these slight regrets and answered Xu Qing's question calmly: "It is indeed amazing. I don't agree with what you said. In fact, after the dark cuisine world withdrew, several top chefs in the Shanghai culinary world challenged that person, but without exception, all of them were defeated by him."

Xu Qing asked, "I heard that the chef of Longzhen Restaurant, the most powerful chef in Shanghai, was defeated as well?"

Shen Cong sighed, "I lost. Once I lost to the dark cuisine world, and another time I lost to that mysterious man. Alas, the chef of Longzhen Restaurant is a man with a very high self-esteem, and he has extremely high requirements for cooking skills. These two failures dealt him a huge blow."

Xu Qing asked: "Can I visit the chef of Longzhen Restaurant? In addition, I also want to learn about the strength of that mysterious man."

In fact, before coming to Shanghai, Master Luo Tian asked him to visit the chef of Longzhen Restaurant. Master Luo Tian and the chef are good friends and he knows his character very well, so he is naturally very concerned about his friend's recent situation.

Shen Cong hesitated, "Well...Okay, then please follow me, Mr. Xu Qing."

After saying that, Xu Qing followed Shen Cong to the door of Longzhen Restaurant.

All the other restaurants near Longzhen Restaurant were doing a booming business, but this one restaurant, which occupied the most advantageous position, closed down, shutting out customers and money.

Xu Qing saw many guests who wanted to dine at Longzhen Restaurant, but in the end they could only shake their heads and sigh and go to other restaurants to eat.

Shen Cong walked forward and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

He had no choice but to shout, "Chef Tang, I'm Shen Cong."

After shouting like that, there was movement inside the door.

After a while, the door opened from the inside and a middle-aged woman came to open it. She had a pretty face and the unique gentleness of Suzhou women. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she looked even more graceful when she smiled.

But now this gentle woman had a forced smile on her face, which made her look even more miserable.

"Sister-in-law, how are you these days?"

Shen Cong greeted.

However, this common greeting seemed to have touched the woman's sore spot, causing the smile on her face to freeze for a moment, and then returned to normal. She said, "Everything is fine. Thank you, President Shen, for your concern."

It was when Shen Cong saw the expression on her face that he regretted having said the wrong thing.

He quickly changed the subject and said, "The person next to me is the youngest top chef in history, Mr. Xu Qing. He came all the way from Guangzhou to help us get back the legendary kitchenware. We came here specifically to visit Chef Tang and learn about the mysterious man."

Xu Qing clasped his fists in greeting.

The woman exclaimed in amazement: "So this is Mr. Xu Qing. I have heard of your name for a long time! Please come in."

As soon as Shen Cong and Xu Qing stepped into the room, they heard the sound of people chopping vegetables. Then someone shouted in dissatisfaction, "Who's here? Tell them I'm not seeing guests, no one!"

"This……"

The woman said quickly, "It's President Shen from the Great Alliance who's here, along with Mr. Xu Qing, the youngest top chef in history..."

As soon as he mentioned "President Shen", a loud roar came from inside, "No!"

When it came to Xu Qing, there was silence inside.

Shen Cong said helplessly: "It seems that you still have more face."

He had known Chef Tang for many years and knew his temper, so he naturally wouldn't get angry. Xu Qing smiled awkwardly, and it was really hard to start a conversation.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance walked out of the house. His brows were furrowed, his mouth was slightly pursed, and his eyes were deep and sharp. Even if he didn't say a word, just standing there could scare the child so much that he didn't even dare to cry.

However, in addition to his majesty, he also had a very obvious sense of anxiety and anger. This feeling, combined with his deep majesty, made him look as terrifying as a dynamite that was about to explode, as if he would lose control at any time and cause huge harm to those around him.

Even his wife, that gentle woman, flinched at the sight of him.

Chef Tang ignored everyone and walked directly to Xu Qing and asked, "Are you Xu Qing?"

"Yes, I'm Xu Qing."

Xu Qing replied.

Chef Tang just stared at him silently without saying a word.

And once he fell silent, his authority became deeper and heavier, almost suffocating people.

Under this tremendous pressure, Xu Qing calmly looked back at his gaze, gazing into its depth and sharpness, and also saw the red bloodshot in his eyes that could not be hidden.

It seems that just as Shen Cong said, these two failures dealt a heavy blow to Chef Tang.

It made it almost impossible for him to maintain his outward dignity, and he became visibly anxious.

Even Shen Cong, who was standing nearby, felt uncomfortable with this stagnant atmosphere.

He coughed unconsciously, and said to ease the atmosphere: "Brother Tang, Mr. Xu Qing has come from afar, this is not the way to entertain guests!"

"Humph."

Chef Tang snorted coldly, and his attitude softened at the same time.

He nodded slightly and said to Xu Qing: "You are indeed extraordinary. No wonder Master Luo Tian gave you the position of head chef of Yangquan Restaurant."

Xu Qing said: "Thank you, Chef Tang, for the compliment."

The woman next to him breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as the atmosphere was relaxing and returning to normal, the continuous sound of cutting vegetables in the room suddenly stopped.

Chef Tang's mood, which had just calmed down a little, instantly turned into rage, and anger seemed to burst out from every pore in his body, making his already terrifying aura even more terrifying.

Chef Tang walked quickly back into the house.

The woman standing by secretly cried out that something was wrong and rushed over to stop him, but how could her weak body stop the furious Chef Tang?
She was immediately pushed aside and fell to the ground helplessly.

Shen Cong and Xu Qing rushed over to help her up, only to see the woman grabbing them in panic and saying anxiously, "Please... please go and save the three heroes!"

As soon as she finished speaking, an angry roar came from inside: "Did I ask you to stop?"

Then there was the dull sound of sticks hitting people.

Shen Cong and Xu Qing rushed in, and Shen Cong quickly snatched the stick from Chef Tang, "Brother Tang! What are you doing!"

"This has nothing to do with you!"

Chef Tang said in a cold and hard tone.

Xu Qingze quickly helped the child who was curled up on the ground and asked, "Are you okay?"

The child grimaced in pain, tears streaming down his face.

Chef Tang shouted coldly: "Why are you crying? You might as well go back to practice!"
