Chapter 72: Guangdong Chefs Association

Their whispered conversation startled the crying Ku Rou. He quickly wiped away his tears, comforted his sister, and walked out of the house quickly.

The confusion in his eyes had completely faded away, and now only determination remained.

Ku Rou clasped his fists towards Master Luo Tian and said, "Master, I have made up my mind."

Master Luo Tian stroked his beard and asked, "Have you really thought it through? Let me remind you again, your opponent is the Guangdong Chefs Association. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. Can you bear the consequences?"

Ku Rou took a deep breath and said firmly: "No matter what the consequences are, I want to try my best once."

Master Luo Tian nodded with satisfaction, whispered a few words to Xu Qing, and said, "Very good, we will go to the Guangdong Chefs Association now."

The Guangdong Chefs Association, whose full name is the Guangdong Chefs Federation, is an industry association composed of representatives of all restaurants in GD Province. All matters related to "eating" that occur in Guangdong must be subject to the control of the Guangdong Chefs Association.

It can be said that the Guangdong Chefs Association is the uncrowned king of the Guangdong culinary world.

In the Guangdong Chefs Association, there are several respected veterans in the Guangdong chef industry who have the highest decision-making power, and Master Luo Tian is one of them.

It's just that he is casual by nature and doesn't like to get involved in such things, so his position in the Guangdong Chefs Association has become increasingly marginalized.

Led by Master Luo Tian, ​​Xu Qing and his companions came to an antique courtyard. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary person's home and there was no sign that this was the seat of the Guangdong Chefs Association, which dominated Guangdong.

Master Luo Tian knocked on the door. With a creaking sound, the door opened from the inside and several strong men in white robes walked out.

The last person walking was Elder Shen.

Elder Shen was not surprised to see Luo Tian coming over. He said, "I saw you leave in a hurry just now, so I knew something was going to happen. Tell me, what is it?"

Master Luo Tian smiled heartily and said, "Nothing, I just wanted to go against the order of the Guangdong Chefs Association."

"what?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the people in white robes suddenly became extremely ugly.

Fighting against the Guangdong Chefs Association is no joke!
In all the time since the Guangdong Chefs Association was established, no one has ever dared to say such a thing!

Elder Shen's face became even gloomier. He shouted, "Shut up! Luo Tian, ​​don't forget that you are also an elder of the Guangdong Chefs Association. As an elder of the Guangdong Chefs Association, you said you want to fight against the Guangdong Chefs Association. This is ridiculous! Just based on what you said, I can order someone to cancel your chef qualification and make sure you can never set foot in GD Province again in this life! Even if you are an elder of the Guangdong Chefs Association, it won't work!"

Luo Tian turned a deaf ear to Elder Shen's threats. He raised the gourd and drank a sip of wine without caring. He burped and said, "Aren't you curious about which order I want to fight against?"

Elder Shen shouted angrily: "No matter which order it is, the order of the Guangdong Chefs Association cannot be disobeyed!"

After he had vented his anger, he was indeed a little curious. Luo Tian had always ignored the affairs of the Guangdong Chefs Association and was content to be a leisurely person. Why did he suddenly have the urge to fight against the Guangdong Chefs Association this time?

Elder Shen asked, "What's the matter?"

Luo Tian pointed at Ku Rou behind him, and Ku Rou quickly bowed and greeted Elder Shen.

Luo Tian said: "Don't you want Guangchulian to issue an order to order Kurou to work under you?"

It turned out to be this.

Elder Shen heaved a sigh of relief. It was all because of Luo Tian's shocking statement. He thought there was going to be a big mess.

Elder Shen softened his tone and said, "It's not an order. I just want Ku Rou to make a decision as soon as possible. Besides, there are still three days left. It's up to Ku Rou to agree or refuse."

Master Luo Tian snorted coldly: "You have reported the matter to the Guangdong Chefs Association. Is there still room for him to refuse?"

Elder Shen's face suddenly turned black. Although he really wanted to use the name of the Guangdong Chefs Association to force Ku Rou to submit, he knew it and didn't say it out loud. It would make him lose face!
Seeing that Elder Shen didn't say anything, Luo Tian looked at Ku Rou and said, "Ku Rou, you speak for yourself." "Yes."

Ku Rou took a step forward, took a deep breath, bowed to Elder Shen, and said, "Thank you for your appreciation and favor, Elder Shen, but I feel that my ability is low and I am afraid I can't take on this important task. There are too many chefs in GD Province who are better than me. I believe Elder Shen will be able to find a more suitable candidate."

Ku Rou's words were very polite and respectful, but the core idea was very clear, which was to reject Elder Shen's appointment.

Elder Shen felt like he was slapped in the face in public. His face was burning and his whole face turned red with anger. His hands were shaking with anger.

"you……"

He never expected that Ku Rou would dare to disobey his orders.

He is the elder of the Guangdong Chefs Association!
No one ever dared to disobey his orders!

"How dare you? I will ask the Guangdong Chefs Association to issue an order now..."

"That's enough, Shen Hong."

A loud shout came from inside the door.

Three old men in white robes walked out of the courtyard. The leader said, "Do you remember what Luo Tian just said? The elder of the Guangdong Chefs Union is against the Guangdong Chefs Union. If this is made public, I'm afraid we will be ridiculed by people all over the country. Our Guangdong Chefs Union will lose its reputation. Will anyone obey the orders of the Guangdong Chefs Union from now on?"

"Elder Li, Luo Tian was just joking. He wouldn't dare..."

"Do you think I dare?" Luo Tian choked.

Elder Li said, "Okay, Shen Hong, you guys should handle the issues with Luo Tian and Ku Rou on your own. The Guangdong Chefs Association will not get involved."

After saying that, he and several others turned and entered the courtyard, leaving Shen Hong alone standing in front of the door.

Kurou heaved a sigh of relief seeing this.

Master Luo Tian looked serious and whispered, "Don't relax, the hardest hurdles are still to come."

Shen Hong's face turned from red to blue, and then from blue to black. His face was filled with dark clouds, and a storm was about to come.

Elder Shen said in a low voice, "Kuro, I heard that you have a younger sister who is just a few years old. It must be very difficult for you two siblings to depend on each other."

Ku Rou's heart trembled suddenly, and he was extremely flustered. He hurriedly said: "Elder Shen..."

"Even for your sister, you wouldn't be willing to do it?"

Kurou's throat trembled, and the scene of his previous interaction with Tia appeared in front of him. His wavering heart gradually became firm, and he said: "Yes, I am not capable enough, I am afraid..."

Elder Shen said: "Since you think you are not capable enough, you should stop staying in Yangquan Restaurant and go out to hone your skills."

His tone was gentle, but the meaning behind his words was cruel, which meant that he wanted to expel Ku Rou from Guangzhou.

As an elder of the Guangdong Chefs Association, it would be easy for him to decide the fate of a powerless little chef.

Ku Rou's face turned pale instantly, and his body was shaky. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was suddenly hit by such a severe blow that he couldn't recover for a while.

Master Luo Tian sighed in his heart and gave a look to Xu Qing who was standing silently behind him, saying, "It's your turn."

Xu Qing stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Elder Shen, can you give us a chance to use our cooking skills to give you a satisfactory answer?"
