Xu Qing said: "Defective product? Your companion will be angry if you say that."

"Angry? No, it won't. It knows that what I said is the truth. Compared with the legendary kitchenware, it is a complete defective product. In terms of ability and quality, it is far inferior to the legendary kitchenware. Even if it is made in the same way, it is still far behind. If I ignore the facts and deceive it with ridiculous lies, it will be an insult to it."

The mysterious man said so.

As he spoke, the kitchen knife in his hand showed extraordinary spirituality, as if responding to his words.

This spirituality is not like being angry or mad, but showing a fighting spirit and perseverance. Even if it knows that it is a defective product, it will not admit defeat. Instead, it will work harder in the established direction and pursue the legendary kitchenware.

For a cooker with such a strong will, deception is indeed an insult to it.

Even the Ruyi Sword in Xu Qing's hand seemed to sense the other party's firm will, and let out a low hum with emotion.

However, this does not mean that Xu Qing agrees with what the mysterious man said.

Xu Qing looked at the Ruyi Knife and said, "To me, there is no difference between the legendary kitchen utensils and ordinary kitchen knives. The legendary kitchen utensils do have incredible magical powers, but to a chef, kitchen utensils are partners. Regardless of whether they have magical powers or not, they are the chef's best partners. And any partner, even if their abilities are different, will never be defective."

Feeling Xu Qing's words and his thoughts, the Ruyi Sword felt joyful. The blade emitted a fluctuating luster under the sunlight, as if indicating its inner happiness.

Being loved by chefs is the happiest thing about being a cook.

The mysterious man smiled and said, "It seems that we have different opinions on many aspects."

Xu Qing said: "It is better to say, do we have anything in common?"

"Ha, that's a good question. But I think we have at least one thing in common, that is, we are both talented chefs who are good at knife skills. Xu Qing, I have heard about your deeds, so as a chef who is also good at knife skills, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to compete with you to see who is the better one between us."

"Who do you think it is?"

"Of course it's me. I and the kitchen knife in my hand will not lose to anyone."

"Very good, it seems that we do have something in common. Because I and the Ruyi in my hand will not lose to anyone."

At this moment, two people who had strong conflicts on many levels finally reached an agreement.

That is the determination to win.

After that, the two never spoke to each other again.

They devote themselves wholeheartedly to the cooking of the dishes, and the taste of the dishes determines the real winner.

And the most exquisite knife skills appeared in their hands at the moment when the two men were silent.

The ingredient for the cooking showdown is chicken.

Chicken, as the most common poultry, can be cooked in a variety of ways.

Xu Qing has a deep understanding of chicken dishes. Since he came to Guangzhou, he has developed an indissoluble bond with chicken.

From the chicken tofu pudding at the beginning to the chicken dishes he made in the later special chef assessment, Xu Qing made the most common chicken into the most precious chicken, and the flavor of various chickens was fully displayed in his hands.

The chicken and knife skills chosen by the mysterious man are certainly his specialties, but they are also Xu Qing's specialties.

The mysterious man knows Xu Qing very well. Logically, he should be aware of Xu Qing's attainments in both.

But he still chose these two instead of picking some ingredients and cooking methods that Xu Qing was not familiar with.

Is it because he is confident in his own abilities?

Indeed, he was very confident that he could surpass Xu Qing in the areas that Xu Qing excelled in.

But at the same time, there is another consideration, that is, he does not like to win by surprise. Surprising tactics may be pleasing, but they are likely to lead to failure.

Especially when the opponent is a top chef like Xu Qing, trying to defeat him by using strange tricks or relying on luck will only end up with more harm than good.

It would be better to fight head-on and compete in the area where you are best, even if this is also what the other party is good at.

Five people sat down in the judging panel. Shen Cong and Liang Feng, the two enemies, sat together, while the others sat next to them.

The reason is that no one wants to sit between these two people and be squeezed between them.

It would be more comfortable to sit aside and watch the fun.

As soon as Liang Feng sat down, he sneered at Shen Cong, as if he had already decided to defeat Shen Cong and was just waiting for him to be defeated and leave the United League in disgrace.

Shen Cong was a little worried. He was worried that Liang Feng might deliberately let Xu Qing lose in order to deal with him.

Therefore, Shen Cong sincerely said: "Vice President Liang, you should understand that taking back the legendary kitchenware is our real goal. I hope we can put our personal grudges aside for the time being, and now we should focus on the overall situation!"

Liang Feng sneered, "President Shen is so enlightened! It's a pity that I, Liang Feng, am not as noble as President Shen."

"You! Liang Feng, are you going to betray the Great Alliance? Are you going to hand over the legendary kitchen utensils to an unknown person with unknown origins? Are you going to disappoint the expectations and trust of the Shanghai culinary community?"

Shen Cong was extremely angry and kept questioning.

"President Shen, you don't have to flatter me. What expectations and trust from the Shanghai culinary community. I just want to ask you, Shen Cong, one question. If you and I were in the same situation, wouldn't you, Shen Cong, add insult to injury?"

Shen Cong was silent for a while before he said, "I can't."

"I do not believe."

Liang Feng said word by word.

"Shen Cong, I, Liang Feng, am here to oppose you. If the person you, Shen Cong, invited is really capable, then we'll see if he can win my heart. Otherwise, I will only vote for that mysterious person, not for your Shen Cong's people."

"Liang Feng, you have to understand that you are a judge, and you should not let your personal emotions affect your fair judgment. The cooking competition is very sacred, and I hope you will not let it be tainted."

"The sanctity of the cooking duel is only for those chefs. Don't use it to teach me a lesson, as you, Shen, don't care about it."

Seeing that Liang Feng was not interested, Shen Cong stopped wasting time with him.

There are five judges, and Liang Feng alone cannot influence the overall situation.

Shen Cong looked at the other three leaders and said, "Three leaders, you should be aware of the importance of this duel. I hope that for the sake of the Shanghai culinary community, you will not do anything that you will regret."

"sure."

"President Shen, don't worry."

"We will certainly make a fair judgment."

The three of them said in succession.

And when Shen Cong turned around, they exchanged glances with Liang Feng again.

Being able to get along with everyone is their philosophy of life.
