C24 (2/2)
Si Difen said: ”This dish is called the Wandering Dragon and the Phoenix of the Phoenix. Everyone can try it now.”
After Si Difen finished speaking, a few chefs surrounded him, eager to have a taste of his culinary skills. Everyone had long heard that Si Difen's culinary skills were superb, but they had never had the chance to experience it. It was extremely rare to get such a chance today, so of course they would not give up.
Si Difen walked in front of Zhang Le and said: ”Sir, please, have a taste of my Wandering Dragon and Phoenix Art.”
Zhang Le did not respond, he only walked over to the chefs silently. Upon seeing him walk over, the crowd immediately let him have a taste.
It had to be said that Si Difen's acting as a dragon and phoenix was pretty good.
Zhang Le tasted it and the taste was indeed top-notch. After all the chefs tasted it, they nodded in agreement.
”Mister, you should be convinced this time. You have nothing else to say, right?” A chef said as he ate.
Another person also said, ”It's not shameful to lose to us, Si Difen, the chef.”
Hearing everyone's words, Zhang Le waved his hand and said, ”Actually, making me admit defeat is not a big deal, but it doesn't make sense for me to admit defeat without everyone even trying to taste my food.”
”Even if I lose, I shouldn't sincerely accept it, right?” Zhang Le looked at the crowd and continued.
When Zhang Le said this, he purposely raised his voice. This group of people wanted him to lose, but he did not want to show it too clearly.
Saying that … Zhang Le waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to come over.
In truth, no one wanted to taste the soup, but there was no other way around it. After all, what Zhang Le said earlier made a lot of sense, even if they lost, they could at least taste it before deciding.
Everyone each took a spoon of soup, and unwillingly scooped out a spoonful of soup from Zhang Le's pot of soup and drank it.
”Huh?”
”Tsk tsk, this taste.”
After everyone drank a mouthful of soup, there was a sound of amazement. Seeing the several chefs like this, Si Difen curiously took a bite.
”This smell.” ”I've never tasted this kind of soup before. It's a cabbage soup, but there's one that's not a cabbage soup anymore.”
Si Difen stared blankly at her for a while and said, ”I lost.”
The few chefs felt that it was strange when they heard Si Difen's words. Although the soup was good, it was not better than Chef Si Difen's acting like a dragon and phoenix.
She quickly surrounded him and asked, ”Boss, what's going on? He isn't any better than you?”
”That's right, that's right.” Another person chimed in.
Zhang Le stood at the side and did not say a word, quietly watching the group of people make a joke. He was completely unaware that all of this was caused by a pot of his cabbage soup.
”If I lose, then I lose. I know very well that you don't have to argue for me anymore.”
Si Difen walked out from the crowd and said to Zhang Le: ”This time I lost.”
However, the other chefs still didn't understand why the boss would so easily admit defeat in front of this young man. Hai kept asking.
Si Difen said: ”Do any of you feel that this White Vegetable Soup is different from any of you who have tasted it before, does it taste a lot better? But do you know why it is better than any of you who have tasted it before?”
Although everyone noticed the delicious taste, they did not know the reason behind it.
Si Difen continued to speak: Usually the soup that we drink before is made from pork, but it is not, it is made from a lot of minced meat, and because the minced meat is too small, you all do not realise it, it requires a very strong knife technique, and also must master the correct amount of heat, which is why I said I lost.
Si Difen said. Being discussed by the side, the chefs all shut their mouths, causing Zhang Le to be very satisfied with what they had said.
He truly felt that this chef called Si Difen was generous, at least he was able to take it up, put it aside, even if he lost, he would look good.
Zhang Le said: ”Boss, you don't have to be too modest. Today, I will win with just a little bit of skill, is that dish of yours truly that amazing?” Zhang Le looked at Si Difen's boss with a smile.
Zhang Le was not acting all good when he got lucky, he was only speaking the truth, after all, he was still in someone else's territory. After all these years, Zhang Le had learned nothing but this, he had to keep a low profile.
Although Si Difen was still a little indignant, he admitted defeat.
Si Difen said unwillingly: ”Sir, I wonder what your name is?”
Zhang Le walked forward and patted Si Difen's shoulders, saying, ”You don't have to be bitter about it, your culinary skills are still excellent, it's just that I have outperformed myself today, which is why I have won against you.
Si Difen laughed bitterly: ”Mr. Zhang Le, you don't have to be so modest. I know that before you have performed well today, you have already surpassed me. If I really let you outperform me, I'm afraid I would lose even more miserably. ”
I said that if I lose, the restaurant will be left to your friends, please go back and tell your friends.
Hearing Si Difen's words, Zhang Le felt that he was indeed a person who believed his words. He couldn't help but sigh, thinking that their foreign friends had indeed done the best job of being honest compared to us.
Therefore, he replied, ”Mr. Skiffin, you don't have to be upset. I believe in a few years, your culinary skills will definitely improve greatly. By then, I might not be able to compete with you.”
Zhang Le had already achieved his goal, so the reason he had said these words now was obviously to help others, so that Si Difen would have a way out.
How could Shi Difen not know that he was making her feel better?
”From now on, we are good friends.” He had an expression that said he was thinking for your sake.
After hearing what Zhang Le said, Si Difen's frown suddenly relaxed.
