Chapter 158 The feast begins

"The ones that have clearly participated are Feihuang Tower, Taoranju, and Shangping Pavilion. The situation of Wenhua Garden is still unclear."

The waiter at Yangquan Restaurant said that this was the information he got from asking around.

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Chen Yu from Wenhua Garden suffered a great blow in the retest. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to recover for a while. I hope he can recover as soon as possible. This is a rare good opportunity."

The waiter hesitated for a moment and asked, "Xu Qing, can you let other people get involved? This is clearly your home court, but they are taking advantage of it. You are the winner of the special chef assessment! Why should they..."

The others were also indignant after hearing this.

Yes, those people were clearly borrowing Xu Qing’s name!
These fame and reputation should originally belong to the winner.

But it was divided up by these losers.

Xu Qing saw the indignation on everyone's faces and said with a smile: "Isn't this good? Otherwise, if we want to satisfy the appetites of all the people in Guangzhou City by ourselves, I'm afraid we will die of exhaustion and fail to do it. With them to share some of the diners, our work will be much easier."

"That's right..."

Seeing that Xu Qing didn't care about it, they had to put away their dissatisfaction.

Xu Qing continued, "Moreover, the four of them have superb skills, and each of them has reached the level of a top-grade chef. It's just that the test questions were a bit harsh, which led to their failure to pass the test. Tasting the dishes made by one top-grade chef is definitely better than tasting the dishes made by five top-grade chefs. And I also want to taste the dishes they make. After all, only the examiners can taste during the test, and we can only watch from the sidelines."

After hearing what Xu Qing said, everyone became excited.

Indeed, the dishes made by the five top chefs who participated in the special chef assessment must be extremely delicious and tempting!
A chef said, "Let's work harder! After all, Xu Qing is the winner, we can't lose to them!"

"it is good!"

Everyone responded in unison and continued to work vigorously.

Master Luo Tian rubbed his shoulders and walked to Xu Qing to sit down and rest, complaining: "I haven't been this tired in many years. My old bones are about to fall apart. You are really good at making trouble for me!"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Master, you have worked hard! I will remember this in my heart."

Master Luo Tian waved his hand and said, "No need. Just use all your abilities to cook me a good meal."

"must."

Xu Qing agreed immediately.

Master Luo Tian looked out the window at the bustling scene of Guangzhou City and said with emotion: "Look at the scene outside, it's just like the New Year."

Xu Qing nodded in agreement.

Indeed, ever since the news came out that Xu Qing was going to recreate the dishes from the top chef assessment, Guangzhou has fallen into an inexplicable frenzy.

After all, most people smelled the incomparable fragrance at that time, and it still seems to linger in their noses.

This wonderful aroma constantly tempts people's taste buds, making people's anticipation for the dishes continue to increase.

But a top-class chef is still a top-class chef, and he is different from ordinary people like them. They can never taste the dishes made by the top-class chefs during the assessment.

Therefore, no matter how tempting the fragrance is, for them, it is something they can only admire from a distance.

It is difficult for people to invest too much emotion and expectations in something that does not belong to them.

However, at this moment, this lofty thing suddenly descended to the earth and came to everyone. As long as you are willing to taste it, it is within your reach.

How can this not be crazy?
Afterwards, several other chefs participating in the assessment announced that they would also recreate the dishes from that time, which pushed the craze to its climax.

For people living in a food capital, what could be more joyful than tasting the most delicious food?
Endless joy surges in everyone's heart. In order to express the pent-up joy in their hearts, people hang up lanterns and decorations, light firecrackers, and perform dragon and lion dances.

Although it is still early for the Chinese New Year, the excitement right now is comparable to that of the Chinese New Year. No, it should be said that it is even more lively than the Chinese New Year!

After all, we celebrate the Chinese New Year every year, but being able to taste dishes made by top chefs in the assessment is a first-time opportunity, and it’s not certain whether this will happen again in the future.

So people put all their enthusiasm into it.

Food connects each other's hearts, the heart that wants to present the most delicious food, the heart that gives all its enthusiasm to taste the most delicious food. At this moment, these two hearts are so close, close enough to feel the warm breath exuded by each other.

A sincere heart's devotion will be rewarded with another sincere heart's response.

This is the communication between hearts.

With such enthusiasm and sincerity before our eyes, who can not be moved?
Hongze and his two companions, who were originally preparing to leave after the top chef assessment, stayed temporarily and joined in the carnival that swept the entire city.

Yao Ye asked worriedly, "Master Chef Long, isn't Xu Qing being too hasty? Will this cause dissatisfaction from the Imperial Kitchen?"

After all, the assessment of top-class chefs is all managed by the imperial kitchen. Now Xu Qing has taken it upon himself to share the dishes made during the top-class chef assessment with the whole city, which is really too much.

If it's just a small family dinner and inviting some people to taste the food, it would be fine, and the imperial kitchen wouldn't interfere.

However, making such a big fuss without informing the imperial kitchen would probably cause a lot of trouble.

Lei Hua also looked at Chef Long Hongze nervously.

Hong Ze said: "It will indeed be a bit troublesome. That's why we have to stay and help Xu Qing get through this difficult time."

Lei Hua and Yao Ye both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

With the help of Dragon Chef, there will be no problem.

Time flies by.

The agreed time soon arrived.

People arrived at the banquet venue early before dawn to wait, only to find that someone had arrived earlier than them.

It was the members of the five restaurants who each sent a part of their people to go to other areas to prepare dishes for the people waiting there.

Chen Yu from Wenhua Garden finally mustered up the energy to prepare the dishes after being persuaded by his chef.

At this moment, all those who participated in the re-examination for the top chef presented their signature dishes in front of everyone.

As the sun rises, hot steam rises from the stoves in each household.

With the sound of a loud gong, the food feast officially began.

People flocked to the stall where Yangquan Restaurant was located.

Although there are five restaurants on site, people are most curious about the dishes prepared by the winners of the top chef assessment.

What exactly is that wonderful fragrance?
What will it taste like when you eat it?

It's really exciting.

In just a few minutes, the Yangquan Restaurant's stall was surrounded by enthusiastic diners in three layers, and even light could hardly get in.

Those who couldn’t squeeze in had to move to other stalls regretfully to try other people’s dishes first.
