Time passes bit by bit, and Ju Xia downstairs becomes more and more powerful under the joint development of three super chefs, Master Abe, Le Yuan, and Mira. The hall downstairs alone has been expanded several times. Now Juxialou can be said to be one of the best restaurants in Sichuan and even in the country.
While waiting for the time to return, Le Yuan was not idle. With the legendary kitchen utensils in hand, Le Yuan made cans. Relying on the reputation of Ju Xia Lu Bei Fairy, the cans market suddenly opened up. , Ju Xia downstairs also gained a lot of weight in the eyes of the court.
At the same time, with the help of Mira, Le Yuan's sense of smell made a major breakthrough.
Super sense of smell (Note: After many years of cooking training, number 6510, with the help of the Spice Queen, awakened the super sense of smell and can judge the taste of food just by smelling it.)
Looking at the increasingly powerful Ju Xia downstairs, Le Yuan is still not satisfied. He has to leave here eventually. He doesn't know if there will be a chance to return to this world, so he wants to leave enough capital for Ju Xia downstairs. Just because of this Thinking of this, Le Yuan drilled the young master very hard, and the future Ju went downstairs to take charge of the kitchen, which made the young master complain several times whether Le Yuan was deliberately teasing him, as if there would be no chance to teach him again in the next moment.
A week before the return, news reached Juxialou that a new Juxialou chef was coming to take over Juxialou. In order to keep Ju Xia downstairs, Le Yuan has already discussed with Master Abe, and he will have a cooking competition with the new chef to decide who belongs to Ju Xia downstairs.
Three days passed quickly. During the three days, Ju went downstairs to the chef in charge of the kitchen and down to the assistants in the front shop. They spent the three days in trembling fear, fearing that the new chef would come.
On the morning of the fourth day, Ju went downstairs and opened the door for business as usual. Just as Le Yuan started to prepare for the day's work, suddenly there was a burst of shouting and cursing from the front store.
When Le Yuan came to the door of the front store, he only saw the young master leading Ju downstairs and a group of people confronting each other. The young master looked very excited and argued with the leader opposite, "Shao An, you You are the new chef who has come to take over, but you still dare to come back to Ju Xia Downstairs, Ju Xia Downstairs does not welcome scum like you."
"Hey... the changes here are really big! It's already been two years, time flies so fast..." Shao An didn't seem to hear the little boss's noise, and was watching Ju go downstairs.
"Shao An, please listen to me. None of us at Ju Downstairs will admit this guy like you."
It seemed that he finally saw the young master, Shao An said indifferently, "You look quite energetic, kid!"
Hearing Shao An's name, the young master looked angry and stared at Shao An.
After the confrontation for a while, Shao An said impatiently, "I'm here to take over as the chef of Ju Xia downstairs. Where is that dead old woman?"
Just when the young master wanted to fight with Shao An, Le Yuan had already come behind him and held the young master down with one hand, "That's enough. After all, he was arranged by the court to take over as the chef. There is no way to solve the problem by force." Yes." After appeasing the young master, he said to Shao An, "I am the one in charge of Ju going downstairs now, and I will compete with you in this cooking competition."
"It's you. It's been almost five years. I thought you were a talent from the first day you were brought into the kitchen of Juxiadownstairs by the mistress. Two years ago, you made me leave Juxiadownstairs miserably. My lord. I have a lot of forgiveness for you, why don't you follow me now, I will hand over the position of sous chef to you, and together we will be famous all over the world." Shao An did not seem to regard Le Yuan as his opponent, but instead persuaded Le Yuan .
The young master on the side couldn't help but roared, "That's enough, Shao An! Senior Brother A Yuan is the youngest special chef in history. No matter what, how can he be your chef with his skills?"
"Hmph, you kid is still like an iron pot, it heats up all of a sudden... But you have to know that it's not just him who is a special chef. There is still a gap in strength between special chefs. People like him have just become special chefs. I don’t pay any attention to people who are chefs.”
Just when the people on both sides couldn't hold back their anger and wanted to start fighting, a voice with official authority drowned out all the noise, and immediately calmed down the people on both sides.
"Both of you, stop it!" When everyone looked at the incoming person, they saw Master Abe, who had been missing, walking in accompanied by a man in official uniform.
"Is that Admiral Li?"
"Oh...Admiral Li is finally here...!"
"What Admiral Li?"
"He is the Minister of Food who has been in charge of the royal kitchen in the palace for many years! He is the number one in the field of medicinal food!"
"He will be the judge of this Ju Xia Downstairs cooking competition! He will first come up with a question, then taste it, and decide the final winner!"
Amid the discussion among the people around him, Admiral Li spoke, "Le Yuan, Shao An, I know everything about your relationship, but the purpose of my trip is to complete the appointment of the new chef. … Those who fail will lose their qualifications as chefs forever! This is also an iron rule that has remained unchanged since Juxialou opened, and it is the same in every trolling competition.”
After a pause, he said, "So... this competition is about Mapo Tofu. This theme is fair to both of you. This is not ordinary Mapo Tofu, but dream Mapo Tofu!"
Fairness is indeed fair. Both Shao An and I have eaten that Mapo Tofu. The key lies in whether we remember the taste.
Admiral Li seemed to be recalling something and said, "Speaking of the future, this happened ten years ago... I was an ordinary soldier at that time. Once again, I was ordered to pass orders from Beijing to Sichuan. When I completed the mission, I was exhausted! Finally, I collapsed in front of a restaurant on the outskirts of the village. I was extremely tired and hungry, and my stomach could hardly swallow anything... However, what the store brought out was Mapo Tofu, but that plate of Mapo Tofu was really incredible... My hungry stomach didn’t feel any discomfort at all, and the delicious taste made my hand holding the bowl speed up unconsciously! I finished three large bowls in just one moment, and it wasn’t even enough to devour it. Describe the situation.”
Admiral Li reminisced with an intoxicated look on his face, "Even today, ten years later, I still can't explain the delicious taste... If I had to use words to describe it, I can only say that it was a wonderful taste ensemble of tofu and meat! I really want to taste the wonderful taste of that magic Mapo Tofu again. Ordinary Mapo Tofu should be the ultimate pursuit of integrating five flavors... But the magic Mapo Tofu that you two special chefs are going to make today is six flavors. …The time for the competition is set at noon today, and the time limit is two hours. Think about it carefully, maybe the answer lies with you, then Master Abe, let’s talk about the handover of chefs.”
Ju went downstairs to the kitchen, Mira and the young master all gathered around Le Yuan and asked, "Magic Mapo Tofu with six flavors integrated into it, A Yuan, do you know what that is?"
"Actually, no matter whether it's me, Subaru or Shao An, I should have eaten this dish. Subaru, please recall it carefully, Admiral Li's reminder." Le Yuan replied with a smile.
"The three of us have eaten it. The chef who can make the magic Mapo Tofu is the cooking made by my mother?" The young master looked at Le Yuan in surprise.
"Well, Ah Subaru, go and get the yearbook. What should have happened when Admiral Li came to Sichuan ten years ago? If it's right, you will know after reading the yearbook. I should be able to recreate that magic numbness." Mapo tofu, so if Shao An also makes it, let’s see who can make that Mapo tofu better.”
"What happened ten years ago? How could it be like this? What's the secret of Mapo Tofu?" Subaru read the contents of the yearbook from ten years ago.
"Just watch, I will use this magic mapo tofu to protect Ju when she goes downstairs."
