Chapter 295 Father and Son
The child pursed his lips in grievance, wiped his tears obediently, picked up the kitchen knife and continued to practice his knife skills standing at the table.

Chef Tang then snorted coldly and suppressed his anger a little.

Seeing this scene, Shen Cong couldn't help but say, "Brother Tang, the child is so young, why do you have to force him like this?"

Chef Tang said coldly, "Young? He is not young anymore! Xu Qing is only a few years older than him, and he is already the youngest top chef in history! If he doesn't seize the time to practice now, when will he be able to do it?"

Xu Qing was speechless.

The child who was cutting vegetables turned his head secretly to look at Xu Qing, his eyes full of curiosity.

Just now, when he was cutting vegetables, he had been paying attention to the noise outside. When he heard his father, who was always strict and unkind, praising someone else for the first time, he couldn't help but want to see who that person was.

As soon as he stopped, he was discovered by his father and beaten for no reason.

But now he knew that the young man in front of him was actually the youngest top chef in history that his father always talked about.

At this time, his mother rushed in, squatted beside him and carefully examined the injuries on his body. She was relieved to find that they were only flesh wounds.

"Why worry? He won't die from this injury."

Chef Tang said coldly.

Xu Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes to the sky.

It's really unlucky to have a father like this.

Shen Cong was also helpless, but this was someone else's family affair after all, and as an outsider he couldn't say much.

Shen Cong said, "Chef Tang, let's go out and talk."

The three of them left.

The child and his mother were the only ones left in the kitchen.

His mother stroked his hair gently and said, "Sanjie, don't hate your father."

Tang Sanjie shook his head, was silent for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, does father hate me?"

The mother said quickly, "How could that be? Your father is so strict with you because he loves you. He hopes that you can become a better person than him, a more remarkable person than him."

"But……"

Tang Sanjie choked up and said, "...I don't think I can do it. I can't be a better person than my father. I can't do it. I can't do it no matter what...I can never meet my father's requirements. He has never said a word of praise to me like he did just now. No matter how hard I try, I am just a waste."

His mother's eyes welled up with tears as she kept saying, "Don't say that, Sanjie, don't say that... You are definitely not a waste, you are a genius, a true genius, that's why your father has such high expectations for you."

Tang Sanjie said in resistance: "If I were a genius, how could I not be able to do anything? If I were a genius, why would my father be so disappointed in me? If I were a genius, I... I would be able to get praise from my father, even if it's just one word... "

Before he finished speaking, his tears had already fallen, dripping onto the chopping board and soaking it.

"Three heroes..."

His mother didn't know what to do and could only gently wipe away his tears with her sleeves.

Outside the house, Xu Qing stood at the window, listening quietly to the conversation between the mother and son, and sighed in his heart.

Every family has its cupboard.

His parents in his previous life were not very competent either, so when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel touched.

At the same time, on the other side, Shen Cong was discussing the matter of the mysterious man with Chef Tang, wanting to get some information from him, but Chef Tang showed strong resistance to this.

Chef Tang said with a gloomy face, "Shen Cong, you don't have to say anything more! I don't need Xu Qing's help in this matter, I can defeat him by myself! And you, Xu Qing, that mysterious man is my opponent! You are not allowed to interfere!"

Xu Qing shrugged his shoulders. It was just right not to intervene. Shen Cong's face suddenly changed. If he didn't let Xu Qing intervene, then why did he invite people from afar? He had done so much preparation, and his purpose was to let Xu Qing fight the mysterious man for them and successfully take back the legendary kitchen utensils.

But now this stubborn donkey wants to go on stage himself?
If he could win, he wouldn't have lost again and again before!

If the Shanghai culinary community continues to lose, they will be too ashamed to face anyone.

At that time, those who covet his position will use this as an excuse to attack him and force him to step down.

Shen Cong said coldly: "This is impossible, I won't let you fight."

"I'm a chef from Shanghai Kitchen! I want to challenge that man, and none of you can stop me!"

"you!"

Having said this, I can’t say any more.

Shen Cong turned away in dissatisfaction.

Xu Qing stayed and asked, "Chef Tang, I have no relatives or friends in Shanghai. Can I stay at Longzhen Restaurant temporarily?"

Chef Tang didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.

Even without mentioning his friendship with Master Luo Tian, ​​just because Xu Qing is the youngest top chef in history, he is willing to let Xu Qing stay for a few more days.

It was almost noon now, and Chef Tang went into the kitchen and prepared a table of delicious dishes for Xu Qing to welcome him.

The table was covered with six dishes, including fish, meat, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, as well as a bowl of soup. It can be said that the variety was complete and comprehensive.

These six dishes are all Shanghai specialties: the meat is braised pork, the fish is squirrel mandarin fish, the soup is stewed eight delicacies, the vegetarian dish is assorted vegetables, and the seafood includes crystal shrimps and steamed crabs.

This table of dishes alone is worth a lot of money.

Not to mention that it is cooked by the best Shanghai chefs. Just smelling the aroma will make you drool.

The dishes on the table made Tang Sanjie stare in amazement. He had never seen his father treat someone so solemnly.

It seems that this young man named Xu Qing holds a very special position in his father's heart.

This made Tang Sanjie feel very sad, and at the same time, he felt a strong sense of jealousy.

It would be fine if Xu Qing was an adult, but he was just a teenager not much older than Tang Sanjie.

A young boy who is not much older than him is superior to him in every aspect. Even his father, who is not kind to him, treats him with gentleness like spring breeze and rain.

Who is the biological child?
Tang Sanjie felt indignant at his father's discriminatory treatment.

This table full of delicious dishes should have whetted one's appetite, but at this moment, it made him lose all interest and even made him feel sick.

Tang Sanjie did not hide the dissatisfaction and jealousy on his face at all, and he did not want to hide it at all, as if he wanted his father to see it on purpose.

Chef Tang saw it, but he didn't take it to heart at all.

He just entertained Xu Qing warmly and said, "Xu Qing, come and try my cooking."

His behavior made Tang Sanjie even more dissatisfied and indignant.

His mother could only pat his shoulder to comfort him and pull him to sit down.

Xu Qing glanced at the three people around him and sighed inwardly.

It seems that this meal cannot be enjoyed properly.
