It cannot be said that Miao Shengsong's dishes are bad. In fact, as Miao Shengsong said, this dish is the best dish he has ever made in his career as a chef. The color, aroma and taste, all these aspects have reached the peak and ultimate of his cooking skills. This dish is beyond the reach of many chefs.
But, this is a cooking competition.
There will be comparisons in a chef competition. The quality of a dish is not determined by the quality of the dish itself, but by how it compares to the opponent's dish...
Unfortunately, this dish of double mushrooms is inferior to the green snail shrimp.
The difference was even more obvious in the mouths of several gourmets. They couldn't say what was wrong with the Double Mushrooms, but they were sure that this dish was not as perfect as the Biluo Shrimp. They were generous with their praise for the Double Mushrooms, but for the Biluo Shrimp... they were even more generous: in order to eat one more shrimp, no one would be polite...
Seeing that the three gourmets were about to fight with Mr. Han, Mr. Han did not continue to make trouble. He gave up the plate of green snail shrimps with an unhappy look on his face, and the three gourmets quickly enjoyed the dish.
In the final match between Ye Chui and Miao Shengsong, the winner is self-evident.
Gao Yuesheng was completely stunned, like a puppet with its strings cut, as if he didn't know what to do next. He had never thought that he would lose before, so he had not made any preparations for what to do after losing. Miao Shengsong, who was standing next to him, also looked a little petrified.
But he was obviously much more frank than Gao Yuesheng. Although there was a look of frustration on his face, he let out a long breath after a moment. He looked like he had no regrets: this dish was the result of his highest level of culinary skills. Even if this dish didn't win the competition, he could only accept it with conviction. He was not someone who couldn't afford to lose. If he had to say what his only regret was...
He looked at the plate of green snail shrimps which were almost gone, and couldn't help but think, how nice it would be if he could get one now to taste this delicacy that defeated him
The kitchen was very quiet. The people from Manhanlou were silent because they couldn't imagine that they would win against the Seven Star Hotel, especially in the last match, where they simply won by a crushing blow...
The people from Shenghuayuan were also silent because they couldn't accept the fact that they actually lost. Their big restaurant was defeated by a newly opened restaurant, and that person was a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old!
Ye Chui was very tired, his body pressed against An Xiaoxiao, he just wanted to lie down on the bed and take a nap, but now was obviously not the time to sleep, some things had to be made clear first, he held An Xiaoxiao's shoulders, walked in front of Gao Yuesheng and Miao Shengsong, calmly without any domineering aura, but in essence, he said to the two of them: "We won."
Gao Yuesheng couldn't help but shiver again, and even looked at Ye Chui with some fear in his eyes.
Ye Chui continued: "Then, what is our bet?"
Gao Yuesheng looked hurriedly at Miao Shengsong. The original bet of this game was that nine chefs from Shenghuayuan would bet on Qin Yiyue. However, in the last game, due to Ye Chui's provocation, Miao Shengsong bet his career as a chef. If he lost, he would have to resign and retire!
For Gao Yuesheng, Miao Shengsong is the backbone of Shenghuayuan. His existence is more valuable than nine four- and five-star chefs. At this moment, Gao Yuesheng's brain is working very fast. It only took him three seconds to figure out many key points.
So he immediately said, "We at Shenghuayuan admit defeat. I will send three five-star chefs and six four-star chefs to Manhanlou as soon as possible. With these nine chefs joining us, Manhanlou will surely prosper."
As long as Miao Shengsong is there, it will be easy to recruit nine four- and five-star chefs, so it is convenient for Gao Yuesheng to admit defeat now.
Old Han on the side snorted coldly: "Just try to deny your debt!"
Gao Yuesheng's face changed, and he smiled a little bit forcedly: "I, Gao Yuesheng, always do business with sincerity, so I will admit defeat if I lose." He looked at Ye Chui again, "Master Ye, your cooking skills have opened my eyes. Your future achievements are limitless. I hope that your Manhanlou and my Shenghuayuan can live in peace in the future and contribute to China's food culture. Let's end this competition here."
"Hehe." Ye Chui couldn't help but smile at Gao Yuesheng. Did this guy think he was so easy to deal with
He then looked at Miao Shengsong: "Master Miao, do you still take what you said when you competed with me earlier seriously?"
Gao Yuesheng's face suddenly turned ugly. He looked very easy to talk to, and was willing to give up the three five-star chefs, six-star chefs and four-star chefs in the restaurant, just to make Ye Chu satisfied and not care about Miao Shengsong's matter. But this kid didn't appreciate it at all, and actually brought up this matter so casually. Gao Yuesheng glared at Ye Chu with some ferocious eyes, and hurriedly looked at Miao Shengsong: "Brother Miao..."
"Boss Gao, you don't have to say anything." Miao Shengsong sighed, his originally solemn face now looked indescribably tired and old. "I lost, so I lost. There's nothing to say. I said before that I would resign and retire if I lost the competition. I won't go back on my word. From today on, I will resign from the position of chef at Shenghuayuan and will never be a chef again."
“Brother Miao, you… you…” Gao Yuesheng was full of anxiety, but he didn’t know how to persuade Miao Shengsong. He knew Miao Shengsong’s character. He attached great importance to his reputation. Since he had made the bet just now, he would never regret it.
Miao Shengsong waved to Gao Yuesheng, then stopped and stood with his back hunched, perhaps because he was discouraged or because he had spent too much energy cooking. He turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
Ye Chui suddenly said at this time: "Master Miao, you are such a coward."
In the kitchen of Manhan Building, everyone was watching Miao Shengsong leave. No matter which side they were on, they all felt a little regretful. But when they heard Ye Chui's words, they couldn't help but be shocked. What did Ye Chui mean
Miao Shengsong paused for a moment, and he turned to look at Ye Chui with an angry look on his face. "Master Ye, since I have already accepted the loss and retired as I said before the game, how can you say this? Don't think that I have the right to insult me just because you won!"
"I'm not insulting Master Miao. I'm just stating the truth." Ye Chui stopped moving, put his hand on An Xiaoxiao's shoulder, swayed slightly, and walked in front of Miao Shengsong. He looked at Miao Shengsong seriously, "I really think that Master Miao, you are a coward!"
Miao Shengsong let out a long breath, looking extremely furious.
Gao Yuesheng was not willing to miss this opportunity, and quickly accused Ye Chui, "Master Ye, you are going too far, aren't you? Master Miao is a famous chef in China, and everyone respects him. You are just a junior, and you don't know your place just because you beat Master Miao. How can you be like this..."
"Let him explain himself clearly!" Miao Shengsong interrupted Gao Yuesheng and pointed his finger at Ye Chui, "Why am I such a coward?"
Everyone looked at Ye Chui.
At this time, even Old Han showed a puzzled expression, wondering what Ye Chui was planning. Normally, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would never give in even if he was right.
Ye Chui paused for a moment before continuing, "Master Miao, you are indeed a very good chef, but after you reached a certain level in your cooking skills, you lacked the motivation to keep going. That's why you've been a seven-star chef for more than a decade, but your cooking skills haven't improved. In this final competition, you gambled your career as a chef to make your best dish, but the dish you chose was the Mushroom Competition, the dish that won you the title of seven-star chef. You thought that the peak of your cooking skills was the moment you won the title of seven-star chef, and from that moment on, you haven't made any progress! Because you no longer have the motivation and courage to keep going, so you are a coward!"
Ye Chui's voice did not have any strong and powerful tone. Instead, it was weak, as if he did not have much strength. However, these words undoubtedly gave Miao Shengsong a strong shock, and the anger on his face turned into shock.
Ye Chui paused for a moment and continued, "You became famous in the era when meat was poisonous, but after the meat ban was lifted, it was a brand new world for every chef. Every chef is studying the essence of meat cuisine, but Master Miao, you used vegetarian dishes in the three games you competed with me at Manhanlou just now, which shows that you don't have the courage to explore this new world at all."
"So, you are a coward!"
The kitchen was silent. The waiters from Manhanlou, the chefs from Shenghuayuan, several gourmets, beggars like Su Laosan, all looked at Ye Chui and Miao Shengsong in amazement. They did not expect Ye Chui to say such words, and these words undoubtedly gave Miao Shengsong a huge touch.
"Yes, I'm a timid person..." Miao Shengsong suddenly admitted, and then he couldn't help laughing again, "Master Ye, you're right, I'm too timid. After the meat ban was lifted, a brand new world of food was revealed before my eyes, but I backed off and didn't dare to explore this new world because I was afraid that I would fail... But now, I have completely failed. Since I have failed, what else do I have to be afraid of? Master Ye, thank you for waking me up. I will resign from Shenghuayuan, but I will never retire. I will continue to study food and hone my cooking skills. Master Ye, I hope that one day, we can have another competition."
"I'm waiting for you at the Manhan Building." Ye Chui responded with a smile.
Gao Yuesheng suddenly understood something at this time, and the look he gave Ye Chui was filled with deep hatred: Miao Shengsong was originally disheartened, but Ye Chui's words rekindled his vitality, and when he was reborn and his cooking skills improved, he would become Ye Chui's man... (~^~)
