Chapter 41 Everyone has their own thoughts

Wen Shizhang advised: "Young Master, why don't you reconsider it..."

Xu Qing shook his head and said firmly: "Please rest assured, sir. I will definitely not let you down."

Hearing Xu Qing say this, Wen Shizhang knew that he could not persuade him anymore, as Xu Qing had made up his mind.

Even if he disagrees, the situation cannot be changed.

Judging from the current situation, only one of Chang Lin and Xu Qing can stay.

This was the situation he least wanted to see.

Wen Shizhang looked at Xu Qing, and seeing the unhesitating look in his eyes and his calm attitude, he suddenly had an idea.

He thought of the wonderful dish he had eaten before, the miraculous dish.

With such superb skills, Xu Qing might be able to create another miracle and gain Chang Lin's recognition.

Wen Shizhang thought again of what Xu Qing had just said, will he not let him down?

My hope is that both Xu Qing and Chang Lin can stay.

Can Xu Qing really do this?

If it were someone else, Wen Shizhang would feel that hope was slim. How could a person's hostile attitude change so easily?

However, if it was Xu Qing...

If it’s a dish that can touch the depths of one’s soul, maybe it can really do that.

Wen Shizhang nodded and said, "In that case, I agree. What do you think, Mr. Chang?"

Chang Lin smiled, and his smile was very ostentatious.

This kid is so stupid that he actually seeks his own death.

How could he possibly approve of dishes made by a young boy who didn't even have the qualifications to be a chef!
Impossible in this lifetime!
Not to mention approving it, he wouldn't even take a bite of it.

If he gets even a little bit of something made by this kind of person on his lips, he will feel unlucky!
However, Chang Lin remained gentle and friendly on the surface. He said softly, "Since Lord Wen has agreed, I have no objection. Just do your best. If the dishes you make are really good enough, I will acknowledge your ability."

Chang Lin had a twisted thought in his mind that if he was given enough hope now, the moment his hope was shattered, this kid would become even more desperate.

When the dish was served, he wouldn't eat a single bite. He could accurately tell the shortcomings of the dish just by smelling the aroma and color!

He once used this unique skill to defeat the defenses of countless chefs.

When you see someone clearly and thoroughly describe the pros and cons of a dish before even taking a bite, the frustration and pain that arises at that moment is enough to be remembered for a lifetime.

Even experienced chefs who have been cooking for many years cannot bear this kind of blow. Some people may never get over the frustration in their entire life and have to stay away from the chef profession.

What’s more, this is a young boy in front of me!

Children are at an age when their emotions are unstable, and a temporary failure may leave a shadow on their lives.

Even if this kid is very talented, how talented can he be? Can he be better than a top chef like him?
Whether in terms of experience, knowledge, or skills, Chang Lin can completely crush him.

Talented people are all conceited, and this conceit will turn into complete frustration and despair when they meet people with higher talents!
Although using this method to deal with a child is really an overkill, Chang Lin is not going to show mercy. He will use his strength to completely crush him!

Reality is so cruel, kid, don't blame me.

If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself.

Chang Lin sneered in his heart. Seeing that neither of them had any objection, Xu Qing went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.

Although he didn't know what Chang Lin was thinking, he could tell that his words were so fake. His hypocritical attitude was really disgusting.

But it doesn't matter.

For a chef, his cooking skills are the basis of everything.

All doubts, suspicions, prejudices and hostility can be broken by dishes!
With Chang Lin's permission, the original kitchen helpers of the Governor's Mansion came to help Xu Qing, but the most they could do was to help pick and peel the vegetables. Asking them to do other work, such as knife skills, would simply cause trouble.

The three people from the dark cuisine world are also mixed in.

Although their cooking skills are not as good as Chang Lin's, they are still much better than others.

When they heard that Xu Qing did not allow them to use their knife skills, although the others had no objection, these three people immediately became unhappy.

Even Chang Lin would occasionally ask them to help cut vegetables. How dare you say you don’t need it?
Who do you think you are? Another master chef?

The man with the blue headscarf sneered, threw away the kitchen knife in his hand, and said sarcastically: "Boy, I have been learning knife skills longer than you are old. When you were still playing in the mud, my knife skills were already very good. You actually said that you don't need us to cut vegetables. What a big tone! Even Mr. Chang has never looked down on us like this!"

After this person said this, everyone around him couldn't help but stop what they were doing.

Yes, Mr. Chang is a top chef, so it is understandable that he is arrogant and looks down on them on weekdays. Even so, Mr. Chang will occasionally ask them to help with processing ingredients, and sometimes they can even cook a few dishes if they are lucky.

But this new guy, although young, has a bad temper.

Look at his arrogant look. Does he really think that just by winning the favor of the governor, he can be on equal footing with the top chef?
They were already dissatisfied with being asked to help a child cook and listen to the instructions of a child. But this was the decision of Chang Lin and the governor, and they had to obey the order even if they were dissatisfied.

At this moment, this dissatisfaction gradually expanded and turned into resentment.

Everyone stood up and quit their job.

Xu Qing stopped what he was doing and sighed. It was really annoying that he had to take care of other people's fragile hearts when time was so tight.

Xu Qing looked at the man in the blue turban and asked, "What are you best at?"

“It’s the knife skills, of course.” The man in the blue turban said proudly.

"Then please show me."

Xu Qing handed over the kitchen knife.

The blue turban took the knife and sneered, "Boy, don't blink. Look carefully."

Before he finished speaking, the knife in his hand was flying at a speed that was dazzling. In just a few breaths, the vegetables were cut into evenly thin strips.

Xu Qing picked up one and looked at it carefully, then said, "Not bad, your knife skills are really good."

The man in the blue turban was immediately furious: "You little brat, there should be a limit to your arrogance! Even Mr. Chang has praised my knife skills many times. You can never learn it even if you study for decades!"

"Yeah……"

Xu Qing didn't say anything, but picked up another kitchen knife and started cutting the meat.

His movements were not heroic, nor were his aura astonishing; they were just ordinary, like an ordinary person who didn't know how to use a knife.

However, in his hands, the knife seemed to be an extension of his arm, and it seemed to have turned into water. The clear knife light flowed naturally like a river. Every time it flowed through a place, the meat under the knife would spontaneously disperse. The texture of the meat slices was retained to the maximum extent, as if it had grown into slices of meat, rather than being cut artificially.
