Rebirth as a Cooking God

Boom!

The distant ringing of bells spreads across the Huangpu River at midnight.

This burst of bells announced that Lou Linjian's Tenglong Hall was officially open!

Xia Yu followed Zhu Qing into the lobby and watched in shock.

Brilliant!

Just like a luxurious theater, there are three levels of auditoriums outside the spacious main stage, and lanterns are arranged in every corner.

A total of nine large pillars with golden dragons holding up the dome.

The judging seats are also worth mentioning. They are set up due north, relying on the soaring dragon wall. The five carved mahogany chairs are all occupied, which means that all five judges are present!

The three-story auditorium was packed with seats, with Xia Yu and Zhu Qing at the top.

Old man——

Suddenly, Xia Yu looked towards a staircase.

Both sides of the food halberds stepped forward, each came out of the passage, and then looked at each other at the two opposite kitchen tables.

One of the old men took off his hood first. His white hair was flowing down and his face was full of energy.

The signature standing posture with arms folded still has the familiar cool expression.

For some reason, Xia Yu felt that her eyes were hot and filled with heat, and her throat was itchy, and it looked like she could not help but scream.

Shh!

Zhu Qing was clever and reached out to cover his mouth in time, The old guy may not know that we are on the ship. Before the battle, we'd better not disturb his mind.

The entire lobby was silent, but the two thousand people were like a group of faint virtual shadows.

Yellow Crane!

A sharp rebuke exploded in the lobby, full of anger.

Xia Qing stared at his opponent at the kitchen counter in front of him, To this day, do you feel a little bit ashamed?

The old man's opponent is also an old man.

However, both Xia Qing and Longtou were old men. They were both tall and burly. In ancient times, they would have been able to carry a sword and charge into battle even if they were wearing armor and mounted on horseback. The sword was not old yet.

As for the Dragon Master named Huang He in Bai Yulou, he has a hunched back and a stooped figure. In terms of temperament, he has already been compared to Xia Qing.

Hearing the question, Huang He just shook his head and said calmly: Xia Qing, you are too naive. You are better than you and me. Everything we do comes from our heart. Right and wrong are relative. I think I am right. Look back. If you go and see it again, why should you be ashamed?

Back then, you were the one who broke the news that I, Mr. Xia, was pregnant with the chef's secret. You were also the first to escape. Don't you feel guilty? A series of sneers made the skylight rumble.

Xia Yu was stunned for a while.

Zhu Qing was on the side, casting a hateful look at the hunchbacked old man.

Then, she tugged on Xia Yu's sleeves and whispered: Ayu, take a good look at these hypocrites. There are no disasters in this world, everything is a man-made disaster. Haven't you always been curious about why the Xia family was forced to live overseas? , and your parents are all related to this incident that year. Ten years ago, a total of two major events happened in the Chinese world...

clang!

The words were interrupted by the piercing sound of drums.

Xia Qing went to the golden drum, took the drumstick, and banged it hard. The dull and solemn sound echoed in the lobby.

let's start!

When the sound disappeared, Xia Qing threw the drumstick to the standing Shiji emcee and returned to his kitchen counter.

The Master of Ceremonies swallowed his saliva and said, Then please invite the five judges to appear!

As a result, the five judges who had arrived early lifted their hoods one after another.

All old faces.

The atmosphere in the lobby became even more deadly.

Among these five judges, Xia Yu knew Yan Qi. The leader of the dark world was not the chief judge, but was on the right hand side of a majestic old man.

Zhu Qing lost his voice, obviously frightened by the exaggerated judging lineup.

After a long while, she finally said with a hint of trembling: Mr. Yan, Mr. Lan, Mr. Li, Mr. Wei and that one, there are five of them in total. They are the top people in the Chinese world today! They are all old monsters!

Yan Lao is Yan Qi.

Who are Mr. Lan, Mr. Li, and Mr. Wei?

And that one...

Xia Yu was confused.

Lan Lao is the head of the Lan clan and Lan Chuhan's grandfather.

Mr. Li, the leader of the Li clan, Li Han wants to call him Grandpa.

Mr. Wei is probably the youngest one here. He is around sixty. He is in charge of all the royal chefs and is the head chef of the Forbidden City.

Zhu Qing explained quickly.

Are there any from the Grandpa’s generation?

Xia Yu's reaction at this moment could be described as messy. It's unscientific to be able to walk around and serve as a judge at such a long life. His body is too strong and unscientific.

The key is the one in the middle.

The dragon head is here too! Zhu Qing said quietly.

As if he noticed the gaze from the third floor of the auditorium among the many gazes, the leader of the Chinese community who was the main judge in the middle looked up and frowned.

snort!

Zhu Qing curled his lips and looked indifferent to the majesty of the dragon head.

Xia Yu was beside her, with cold sweat on his forehead and feeling heartbroken.

Zhu Qing was able to perfectly defend against this aura attack in the form of an undifferentiated AOE, but as for Xia Yu, just by being swept by those eyes, her heart contracted uncontrollably and her whole body became stiff.

let's start--

Looking back, the leader of the Chinese world sitting in the middle said in a low voice.

As for the question of eating halberds...

Xia Qing and Huang He both looked at the judges' seats.

Xia Yu's breathing was also stagnant, Is this a question made by Longtou on the spot?

rice!

Just listen to the dragon head spit out one word.

The history of rice cultivation in China can be traced back to a long time ago. So, this time, we will go back to the origin and use 'rice' as the main ingredient to cook any dish!

and!

Longtou looked at Xia Qing and his eyes flashed: Only ordinary rice is allowed to be used, and there is no limit on the quality of other materials!

The lobby remained silent.

This depressing and dead atmosphere was very uncomfortable for Xia Yu, who was used to lively stages.

There were no cheers or discussions. Each black-robed audience seemed to not exist, just virtual projections.

rice!

Xia Yu recited silently, his eyes sparkling.

When it comes to dishes that use rice as the main ingredient, there are so many. If you just cook rice with rice, you can make a big table dish.

Be more flexible and solve the problem. There are a huge number of recipes available for grinding rice, rice noodles, etc.

The question of Shiji is very common.

However, Shokatsu players are not ordinary.

The old man is the Dragon Chef, and the man named Huang He is also the Dragon Chef.

So what kind of dishes with rice as the main theme can be presented with Chef Long's handiwork? Xia Yu couldn't help but look forward to it.

He had a vague hunch that he might have unexpected gains.

A quiet fight began.

Xia Qing and Huang He both spent about 10 minutes improvising recipes.

Another quarter of an hour later, two food trucks rumbled to the scene.

Xia Yu's eyebrows twitched when he saw the ingredients of the two dragon chefs.

A white crane?

He looked at Huang He's food cart. He saw a large bird at least 1 meter long in an iron cage. It was all white and had a vermilion crown. Isn't it Lingjun's White Crane?

The method of slaughtering a crane is no different from that of chickens and ducks. The neck is wiped, the blood is drained, the whole crane is soaked in hot water, and then the feathers are quickly removed.

Then, there was the disembowelment.

Until a live crane was processed and marinated for use, Xia Yu didn't see any mystery and couldn't help but frown: Is this what dragon level is like?

Another sentence he hid in his mind:

How can you feel like you were ordinary before returning to the special level?

At this time, a burst of golden light suddenly flashed from Xia Yu's field of vision.

What?!
