2605 The battle of three
In order to save time and to hang the carrot in front of the donkey in a better way, Yu daoyi rushed to Rong city that night. Only then did he appear at breakfast, looking travel-worn. Naturally, he worked so hard to settle the matter of the competition as soon as possible.
Liao wenkai, on the other hand, had a vegetarian banquet scheduled that day and didn’t have time to make it. He could only come to Chengdu the next morning, but it was in line with Liao wenkai’s thoughts and didn’t waste any extra time.
In order to watch a wonderful competition and perfect his big move, Yu daoyi had definitely put in a lot of effort. Liao wenkai hadn’t even arrived yet, and he didn’t even know that, but he had already boosted the morale of Wu Hai and hairy bear.
Yu daoyi was certain that no one could refuse the charm of Yuan Zhou’s dishes. Even if Liao wenkai didn’t know that there was going to be a competition, he would still be in his best condition. Of course, just in case, he had prepared a second plan.
After all, opportunities always favor those who are prepared.
It could be said that Yu daoyi had already prepared everything except for Liao wenkai.
Time passed very quickly, especially when no one was paying attention. It was like a ray of mischievous sunlight that seemed to linger on people’s faces a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, it had already run to the window frame. It could be said that it was impossible to guard against.
Soon, it was time to line up for lunch. Following Yu daoyi’s guidance, Liao wenkai successfully arrived at the street of Taoxi road.
“Old Daoist Yu, you didn’t lie to me, right? I took a day off to fly back to Heron Island. Did head chef Yuan really serve a new vegetarian dish?” Liao wenkai immediately asked when he saw Yu daoyi.
It was as if you were lying, and you wouldn’t be able to keep your precious zither. Coupled with Liao wenkai’s huge body, it was still very frightening.
He stayed in the kitchen 365 days a year and didn’t even take a break during the holidays. He wished he could use 36 hours a day to study cooking.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Yuan Zhou’s signature dish was too bright and attractive, and the new dish served was a vegetarian dish that he was interested in, he wouldn’t have come. In order to make a good vegetarian dish, Liao wenkai had almost never eaten meat dishes in his entire life, just to maintain his sensitive taste buds. Therefore, he didn’t want to waste his inexplicable time.
“Little Daoist, when have I ever lied? it’s definitely true. Furthermore, head chef Yuan is serving min cuisine this time, and the new vegetable dish is nanputuo vegetable. Shouldn’t you come?” Yu daoyi said with confidence.
In fact, Liao wenkai was also a member of the min cuisine Association. Unfortunately, he often did not participate in activities, and it was impossible to contact him in time. Therefore, he did not know that min cuisine had been on sale for a week.
“Really? Head chef Yuan is making nanputuo vegetarian dishes? When can we eat?” Liao wenkai was excited as daoyi had expected.
He didn’t think that he would lose to Yuan Zhou after cooking all his life. Even if Yuan Zhou was very famous, Liao wenkai still had his own understanding of vegetarian dishes.
However, it didn’t stop him from looking forward to the nanputuo vegetable dish cooked by Yuan Zhou. This was a type of dish that he was familiar with. Even if it was cooked using a different method, it was definitely worth learning from. After all, Yuan Zhou’s capability was there for all to see. Thus, Liao wenkai couldn’t help but be excited.
There were a lot of temples in min province, and many of them made vegetarian dishes. However, Nan Putuo was famous for two reasons. One was the ingredients used, and the other was the persistence of every head chef. All natural ingredients, strict selection of ingredients, and unique innovation requirements were the key to ensure that Nan Putuo’s vegetarian dishes were the best.
In Liao wenkai’s hands, he had brought those rules into full play. Therefore, when he heard that Yuan Zhou was also serving nanputuo vegetarian dishes, he was naturally extremely excited.
“It’s been a while. Let’s go line up when it’s time. We’ll talk about it later.” Yu daoyi had been paying attention to the time.
In order to let Liao wenkai compete with Wu Hai and the others, they naturally had to line up together. Seeing that it was almost time to line up, it was more important to line up quickly.
Before he could recover from the shock of Yuan Zhou cooking the nanputuo vegetable dish, he was brought to line up by Yu daoyi.
With Yu daoyi, the experienced driver, and the fact that he had come in time, they successfully queued behind Mao Xiong and the others.
Then, the two parties were introduced.
“Two laymen, this is the layman I was talking about, layman Liao. He’s definitely a capable person, and his eating speed is absolutely tyrannical. You’ll know when the time comes.” Yu daoyi didn’t try to create any momentum. In any case, he would know soon enough.
Upon hearing that, Wu Hai turned his head and sized up Liao wenkai, who was at least 180 Jin. Although he felt that Liao wenkai was round like a winter melon from top to bottom and didn’t know what was so amazing about him, he still didn’t let down his guard.
Since he was using Yuan Zhou’s dishes as the bet, he naturally couldn’t be careless. If he was careless and someone else ate a little more, it would damage his dignity as the chief rice bucket.
“Hello,” he said. Wu Hai and Mao Xiong both greeted Liao wenkai politely.
As a potential enemy of the chief rice bucket, he was worthy of their greetings. Although Liao wenkai was immersed in cooking practice, he was not someone who was ignorant of the ways of the world, so he naturally responded politely.
“Then, let’s use each person ordering ten vegetarian dishes as the standard. Whoever can eat more will win. Does anyone have any objections?” As the initiator, Yu daoyi naturally took care of the overall situation.
On the way to line up, Yu daoyi had already explained to Liao wenkai that he was going to participate in a competition for vegetables. At first, Liao wenkai was uninterested. Why did he have to participate in the competition when he couldn’t order vegetarian dishes?
Very quickly, Yu daoyi came up with two reasons to convince him. One was to participate in the competition. If each person ordered 10 dishes, that would be 30 dishes. This meant that he would be able to see 30 different vegetable dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou in one meal. If he was alone, he would have to wait for at least two or three days to see so many different kinds of dishes. However, master chef Restaurant had a rule that if one ordered dishes and couldn’t finish them, he would be blacklisted, which further limited one’s ability to perform. Moreover, snatching dishes could save time. Spending less time to eat more dishes felt like a good deal no matter how he looked at it, so Liao wenkai agreed immediately.
That’s right, in order to better watch the exciting game, Yu daoyi didn’t plan to participate in the short burst this time.
As for Liao wenkai’s principle of not eating meat and fish and only ordering vegetarian dishes, Wu Hai was naturally unwilling to do so. As a carnivore, eating vegetables was no less than eating grass. If it wasn’t cooked by Yuan Zhou, it would definitely be hard to swallow. However, with the furry bear patting its fur and him wanting to show off his ability as the chief rice bucket of the restaurant, he agreed.
So when they heard Yu daoyi’s question, the three of them nodded in agreement. When the three of them looked at each other, it was as if there was a flash of lightning. It was quite realistic.
The activity was proposed by Yu daoyi to Wu Hai and the others in the morning. The news of master chef Restaurant naturally spread very quickly, not to mention the rumors about the divine beast of the restaurant.
Therefore, while Wu Hai and the others were queuing up in the front, many customers behind them were observing the scene without leaving a trace. Even Wang Hong was holding a notebook and planning to record the Grand occasion. Meng Meng had also made an appointment in advance and brought a small camera with her, planning to record this scene.
They didn’t know Liao wenkai’s strength, but they all knew Yu daoyi’s strength. His admiration gave everyone more confidence in Liao wenkai, so they were all actively preparing to record this historical moment.
