Chapter 94 Trouble
When Luo Tian rushed to the Guangdong Chefs Association, Shen Hong happened to be there.

Elder Li said: "Luo Tian, ​​you came at the right time. Shen Hong brought new news."

"The Imperial City replied so quickly?"

Luo Tian asked in surprise.

Shen Hong said helplessly: "How can it be so fast? My letter hasn't even been delivered yet. It's just that I happened to run into an acquaintance who came to Guangzhou. He knows some news about Elder Wu."

"What did he say?"

"The Imperial Kitchen had a power transfer. Wu Cheng tried to become the head of the Imperial Kitchen, but failed. This was mainly because there were too few Dragon Chefs from Guangzhou, and his influence in the Imperial Kitchen was not as strong as that of the other party. After Wu Cheng was defeated, he left the Imperial City and came to Guangzhou."

Luo Tian said: "So his purpose of coming to Guangzhou is to train a few dragon chefs?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Elder Li sighed, "Wu Cheng was very dissatisfied with the atmosphere in Guangzhou's culinary world back then, and thought we were too lax. He hoped to rectify the culinary world and conduct chef assessments every year or even every month. Only the best ones would get more resources and customer traffic, and the ones who ranked the lowest would not even be allowed to open restaurants. Fortunately, he soon went to the Imperial City, so this matter did not continue."

"This failure in the Imperial City may have made him more obsessed with the Guangzhou culinary world. He may bring up the old things again when he comes back this time."

Luo Tian said: "We old guys are not dead yet, the Guangdong Chefs Association will not let him do whatever he wants."

Elder Li said, "I'm afraid he will bypass the Guangdong Chefs Association and use other means to push this matter forward. By the way, Luo Tian, ​​what are you doing here?"

Luo Tian said in a deep voice: "Have you heard about the Tianhong Pavilion?"

"Tianhong Pavilion?" Elder Li and Shen Hong looked at each other and shook their heads.

Luo Tian told the two about the fake shark fin incident, and they immediately became furious and their faces turned red with anger.

"It's ridiculous. How dare someone do such a thing! We must find the troublemaker. Otherwise, they will do the same thing and slander other restaurants. There will be no peace in the culinary world! I will send someone to catch the troublemaker right away."

Luo Tian said: "According to the people at Tianhong Pavilion, judging from their accents, they are from other places."

"Outsider?" The two of them had the same thought and thought of the same person.

Wu Cheng!

It must be him!

This method seems very much like his style.

Elder Li said: "The philosophy of the chef of Tianhong Pavilion is contrary to Wu Cheng. He has always looked down on common dishes and chefs with ordinary cooking skills. Tianhong Pavilion is really unlucky. I don't know why Wu Cheng targeted it."

Luo Tian said: "It's not just Tianhong Pavilion. After the fake shark fin incident, almost all diners went to Taoranju, because some people said that only the shark fin at Taoranju is genuine."

Shen Hong was surprised and asked, "How could Chef Liang do such a thing?"

Elder Li said: "It is probably Wu Cheng who was behind this. At that time, Chef Liang was impressed by the cooking skills of the young man named Chu Xianglong. I am afraid that was why he was taken advantage of by Wu Cheng."

"If Chef Liang becomes Wu Cheng's side, that won't be a good thing. Tao Ran Ju has a great reputation in the culinary world."

At this time, several elders came rushing in from outside the door, "Elder Li, something terrible has happened!"

"What happened?"

"Elder Wu held a banquet at Taoranju and invited chefs from various restaurants to attend."

"What? Let's go there as well."

Elder Li said hurriedly.

Taoranju.

The chefs from various restaurants took their seats one after another, looking at Liang Jing with some confusion and strong dissatisfaction in their eyes.

They had all heard about what happened in Tianhong Pavilion, and couldn't help feeling grievances.

Any restaurant that encounters this kind of thing will be devastated. As the one that made the most profit, Tao Ran Ju naturally became the number one suspect.

The main reason they were invited here was because of past face and they didn't want to break up with Liang Jing.

Liang Jing sat there expressionless, his thoughts no longer important.

If he didn't do as Wu Cheng wanted, Wu Cheng would spread the news that Tao Ran Ju had framed Tian Hong Pavilion, and then Tao Ran Ju would be completely finished.

Tianhong Pavilion could no longer be saved, and he couldn't sacrifice Taoranju.

Elder Wu stood up and said, "Thank you all for coming. I came to Guangzhou this time for only one purpose, and that is to make Guangzhou's culinary world better. I will teach you all the lost skills and secrets collected by the Imperial City, so that you chefs can improve your cooking skills. At the same time, I will also make your restaurants more prosperous."

"Look at Taoranju. It was deserted a few days ago, but now it is packed. From now on, your restaurants will become like Taoranju, or even better!"

Someone sneered and asked, "Where is Tianhong Pavilion?"

"Everyone, the number of customers is limited. With each additional restaurant, fewer people will go to your restaurant to eat. Why should a restaurant like Tianhong Pavilion, which does not have sophisticated skills, share your diners and resources? Isn't it the pursuit of chefs to present diners with more delicious food? Is it really reasonable to snatch customers from you by making something casually, relying on cheapness and a little cleverness?"

Elder Wu's words stirred everyone's emotions.

Yeah, is this really reasonable?
They worked hard and put a lot of effort into making food, but in the end, there were only a few customers. However, restaurants like Tianhong Pavilion, which made food casually and at a low cost, always attracted many diners and shared their customer flow.

Don’t they feel resentful in their hearts?

Yes, of course.

However, this resentment was usually suppressed in people's hearts. Now, after Wu Cheng's instigation, the desires in people's hearts began to grow wildly.

Good restaurants beat bad restaurants, that's the way it should be.

Wu Cheng saw the desire in everyone's eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

The banquet didn't last long because no one present was in the mood to eat anymore.

By the time Luo Tian and others arrived, the guests had already left one after another.

Wu Cheng walked out the door and happened to see them.

"Elder Wu."

"Elder Li, and everyone else."

Wu Cheng glanced at everyone and said, "Are you here to attend the banquet as well? Unfortunately, the banquet is over and you are late."

After saying that, Wu Cheng turned and left.

The three words "too late" echoed in everyone's mind, causing them to feel inexplicably uneasy.

They later looked for the chefs who attended the banquet, but they all said the same thing about the banquet, that it was just an ordinary dinner, where they got together to eat and chat, nothing more than that.

In the end, the elders had no choice but to return home.

When Luo Tian returned to Yangquan Restaurant, he saw Xu Qing waiting for him.

Xu Qing said: "Master, Master Jidi has already told me."

Jidi was an honest man. He told Xu Qing everything he asked, but he didn't know the details.

Seeing this, Luo Tian no longer concealed anything and told everything that had happened so far.

Master Luo Tian said: "Although I don't know what Wu Cheng is planning, it is definitely not a good thing. I am afraid that the Guangzhou culinary world will usher in a chaos."

Xu Qing sighed softly. Isn't it good to live a peaceful life? Why are there always people trying to stir up trouble?
