Chapter 13 Copying the Recipe

"Honestly? What did you just say? Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine? What are they? I've never heard of it."

The waiter booed.

"Yes, I've never heard of these!"

"Hey, bragging is bragging, just admit it, and you're a dead duck."

"Chef Wang's culinary skills are the best in Yuyang City. We have all tasted this skill. Don't you think we are ignorant."

The audience echoed, and even the guests on the second floor came down.

"Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine? I've been to Starfish City and other cities for cooking competitions, but I've never heard of these dishes! But it's easy to prove, just try cooking with me!"

Wang Chu said.

"I'm just a diner, I've eaten good food, but I'm not a cook." Xiao Chao shook his head.

"Chef Wang, do you really believe what he said? He is so young, it is impossible for him to have been anywhere, how could he know more than you, a chef?"

Shopkeeper Li didn't believe it at all.

"Hey, I thought it was someone who came to me to learn cooking skills, but I didn't expect it to be a drunkard!"

Chef Wang was very disappointed and turned around to leave.

"Wait!"

Xiao Chao said suddenly.

"What? Do you want to compete with me?"

Wang Chu said.

"I'm not good at cooking, but I have other ways to prove what I said is true!"

Xiao Chao showed a smiling face, and while speaking, he actually came up with a plan to make a fortune.

"How can you prove it without a test?"

Chef Wang wondered.

"Master Xiao, let's stop with enough!"

Zhang Qiang hurriedly persuaded him that he thought Xiao Chao was drunk.

"I'm not drunk!"

Xiao Chao gently pushed Zhang Qiang away, looked at Chef Wang with burning eyes, and said, "Although I don't know how to cook, I have also consulted those cooks after I ate it, and I know how to make some dishes. Tell me the recipe of the dish, ask Chef Wang to cook it for you, and you will naturally know whether what I said is true!"

"Joke, why do you ask Chef Wang to cook it for you? Besides, it's not the skill of Chef Wang?"

Shopkeeper Li retorted.

Xiao Chao was drunk, smiled slightly, and retorted: "This is not right, we are not trying cooking skills, but verifying what I just said, as long as I finish speaking, if the chef Wang cooks delicious food, it will naturally prove that I'm right! The dishes I've eaten are indeed better than Chef Wang's."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Chao glanced at Shopkeeper Li again, and said, "You guys are taking advantage of me doing this!"

"Taking advantage?" Shopkeeper Li was taken aback.

"That's right, after I finished speaking, you guys will steal this dish, and you will get the signature dish of Juxian Building, it's not because you are taking advantage!"

Xiao Chao said.

Shopkeeper Li looked at Xiao Chao strangely. Seeing that Xiao Chao was speaking seriously, he couldn't guess whether the guest was a drunkard or the truth.

Chef Wang pondered for a moment, and said, "It's okay to verify it!"

"Since Chef Wang agrees, then there is no problem, be objective, please follow us to the backyard kitchen!"

Shopkeeper Li also agreed.

To verify, there is no loss in Juxian Building. If they win, Juxian Building will still be the No. 1 restaurant in Yuyang City. If they lose, it is not a loss to be able to master some dishes.

Watching Xiao Chao follow Chef Wang and others to the backyard, Zhang Qiang and others looked at each other in blank dismay.

"It doesn't look fake, can it be real?"

"Are you stupid? You don't know Master Xiao. Master Xiao was abolished and raised horses in a racecourse before. What kind of world can you see?"

"But Mr. Xiao pretends too much! It's the same as the real thing."

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you go and have a look!"

Eight people from Zhang Qiang also followed.

Besides them, some curious guests also came over one after another.

Following behind Chef Wang, Xiao Chao consciously entered the app store and downloaded a complete recipe book, in which he could search for recipes of various cuisines.

"There are so many delicacies on the earth, name a few and blind your dog's eyes!"

Thinking in his heart, Xiao Chao had followed Chef Wang to the kitchen.

"Is this guy saying that the chef's food is not good?"

"The hair doesn't even grow, what can I do!"

"This is self-defeating!"

Chef Wang's apprentices sneered.

Xiao Chao completely ignored their expressions and walked in swaggeringly.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Chef Wang asked.

"I have seen eight major cuisines, but they all require many different ingredients. Let me see what you have here first, and I am deciding!"

Xiao Chao looked for various vegetables, sauces, etc. in the kitchen with his hands behind his back, as if he was leading an inspection.

After watching for about ten minutes, everyone was getting impatient, Xiao Chaocai said: "Let me just say three simple ones. The difficult ones are too troublesome. I don't have that time."

"Oh? What?"

Chef Wang also showed curiosity.

"My dishes are all secrets, there are too many people here!"

Xiao Chao looked at everyone.

"Easy!" Chef Wang nodded and said, "You all go out!"

"It's mysterious, it's true!"

"If you can't do it for a while, let's see how embarrassing he is!"

...

Everyone reluctantly walked out, and in the end only shopkeeper Li, chef Wang and two apprentices remained.

"The first one, boiled fish, Sichuan cuisine!

The forage is grass carp, soybean sprouts...

..."

Xiao Chao didn't care whether Chef Wang could remember it or not, he read the method according to the recipe, and found some substitutes for the missing ingredients.

After Xiao Chao finished reading, he saw that Chef Wang had caught a grass carp, slaughtered it, removed the scales, cleaned and sliced ​​it, and the technique was clean and neat, even the fishbone was picked out. Xiao Chao couldn't help but admire it.

Soon, the grass carp was finished, and Chef Wang looked at Xiao Chao in embarrassment.

"Say it again, forget about it later!"

Xiao Chao glanced at the recipe, then said one step, and asked Chef Wang to make one step.

While Chef Wang was cooking, Xiao Chao also instructed the other two people to eat fried chicken and Sixi meatballs.

...

Half an hour later, under Xiao Chao's 'guidance', Chef Wang prepared three dishes.

They are boiled fish, boiled chicken, and Sixi meatballs.

"How about it? Try it?" Xiao Chao said.

Chef Wang and shopkeeper Li were already impatient, so they quickly picked up the chopsticks and tasted each one.

"Delicious, really delicious. And there are three completely different flavors, the three cuisines that Master Xiao said!"

After the shopkeeper Li finished eating, he was full of praise.

"It's the first time I make it, and I can have this taste. If I become proficient, it will definitely be more perfect!"

"I used to think that my culinary skills were amazing, but I didn't expect that I was watching the sky from a well. I didn't expect that there are eight major cuisines in the world!"

Chef Wang was also very emotional, and finally came over and grabbed Xiao Chao, saying: "Master Xiao, I don't know where these cuisines originate, can you take me there."

Xiao Chao rolled his eyes and said in his heart that I can't take you to the earth.

"To be honest, I haven't been to these places either. I just met a strange person who told me about it."

Xiao Chao said flickeringly: "Besides the eight major cuisines, there are more ways to do it."

"There's more? My God!"

Chef Wang showed infinite reverence.

"This guy won't tell shopkeeper Li: The world is so big, I want to go and see it!"

Xiao Chao thought wildly for a while, and then said to shopkeeper Li: "Treasurer Li, do you want to add some special signature dishes? Give me money, and I will sell you the recipe!"
