Gourmet Beast Tamer

Chapter 183 Request

"Click——"

Qin Lang had already finished tasting the pasta called Tianhua Cake cooked by Zhao Junzhang.

Thin and crispy shell, soft and fluffy interior, the inside of the edge of the cake is almost vacuum, and it tilts up like a small bowl to support the filling in the middle.

The fillings mixed with various ingredients are spread evenly on the cake, and a special sauce made of compound seasonings is spread on it, which is completely integrated with the dough during the baking process.

Pizza from another world...

After savoring the lingering taste in his mouth, Qin Lang's face showed a bit of surprise.

I have to say that this noodle dish developed by Zhao Wenchang’s grandfather is indeed very delicious.

"Suck~"

After finishing the last bite, Zhao Junzhang put down the empty bowl in his hand without finishing.

This is the most delicious noodle he has ever tasted, better than anything in Zhao Ji Noodle Shop.

Including the Tianhua cake that he specially asked Luo Hui to collect seasonings and ingredients from all over the world.

Turning to look at Zhao Wenchang, who was still immersed in cooking, Zhao Junzhang suddenly said, "Wen Chang, which one of these two types of pasta do you think is more delicious?"

"This..." Zhao Wenchang raised his head and looked at the almost finished Youpo noodles and Tianhua cakes in front of him. He hesitated for a moment and quickly gave his answer, "I prefer Youpo noodles!"

"Is it…"

After getting the same answer from his son, Zhao Junzhang finally made up his mind.

"Little friend Qin Lang, I wonder if you are willing to participate in this competition on behalf of Zhaoji Noodle House?" He paused, "In return, you can learn all the pasta recipes of Zhao Ji Noodle House."

"Of course I do." Qin Lang nodded unexpectedly.

This is why he came here. Since he has made a decision in his heart, there is no reason to object.

But even so, Zhao Junzhang's reward still surprised him.

You can learn all the pasta recipes from Zhao Ji Noodle House.

You know, Liu Ji promoted this competition because of these formulas.

Qin Lang is indeed very interested in these pasta recipes from other worlds.

"Uncle Zhao, can you tell me the details of the competition?"

"Of course." Zhao Junzhang nodded, "This competition will be held in two days, and the theme of the competition is fixed on pasta."

"Although the witness of this competition is the Catering Association and not the Yuling Chef Association, for the fairness of the competition, five judges from the Yuling Chef Association were specially invited to vote."

"In two days..." Qin Lang nodded thoughtfully, "If that's the case, there's plenty of time to prepare."

Two days is enough time?

Zhao Junzhang glanced at Qin Lang in surprise, "Although the competition will be in two days, there is one thing that needs to be decided now."

"What's the matter?" Qin Lang asked curiously.

"This competition was initiated by Liu Ji Noodle Restaurant, so our Zhao Ji Noodle Restaurant can put forward an additional requirement while keeping the fixed theme unchanged. This is also our advantage."

"Because the candidate for the competition has not been determined before, I have never made this request. Now that it has been decided that you will participate in the competition on behalf of Zhao Ji, the power to make the request will also be given to you."

"Any request is acceptable?" Qin Lang thought thoughtfully.

"Theoretically, that's the case." Zhao Junzhang nodded, "But both parties need to abide by the requirements and cannot make unfair demands that are obviously directed at one party."

"For example, requirements such as that only chefs from other places can participate in the competition or that the Qingyang City Cooking Champion cannot participate in the competition are all unfair."

"I understand." Qin Lang nodded to express his understanding.

He also had no intention of making similar strange requests to restrict his opponents.

In fact, he had no intention of writing anything about it.

"My opponent's name is Ji He?" he asked curiously, "Is he good at pasta?"

"Yes." Zhao Junzhang's expression was a bit solemn, "The dish Ji He used when he won the championship in this Qingyang City Cooking Competition was pasta."

"And his cooking skills are higher than those of previous municipal cooking champions."

Is he a municipal cooking champion who is good at pasta?

Qin Lang thought of the beef tasting feast at Zhenniu Restaurant that he had attended before.

During that tasting feast, he communicated with many Yuling chefs who were city-level cooking champions, and in the subsequent open-air duel, he benefited a lot from other Yuling chefs.

He thought about what kind of request he should make.

"My request is for a public duel in the open air."

…

A young man with short brown hair walked quickly into Liu Ji Noodle House.

After closing the door, he turned to look at the short, fat middle-aged man with squinted eyes, "What's the matter with calling me here in such a hurry?"

"Something serious has happened." A solemn look appeared on the short, fat man's face. "Zhao Ji made a request for a fight."

"What request?" The brown-haired young man said calmly, "If it is an obviously unfair request, you can refuse it, so why be so nervous."

"But this request cannot be considered an unfair request..." The short, fat man smiled bitterly, "They proposed a public duel in the open air."

"That means the cooking process on both sides is open."

The brown-haired young man was silent for a moment, then turned around to leave, "Then please hire someone else!"

"Ji He!" The short, fat man hurriedly took the brown-haired young man's hand and forced a smile, "Don't leave in a hurry, there is still room to turn around."

"We can increase the price on the original payment!"

"Hmph." Ji He snorted coldly, "Even if your reward is doubled several times, it still can't compare to my method of making pasta!"

"This..." The short, fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Has the opponent been determined? Who will Zhao Ji send?"

"I've never heard of a chef named Qin Lang." Realizing that there seemed to be room for change in Ji He's tone, the short and fat man spoke quickly.

"Qin Lang..." Ji He thought for a while and seemed to think of something, "He is the cooking champion of Dongxia City."

"What?!" The short, fat man's eyes widened.

He had secretly said hello to Yu Lingchu, a chef in Qingyang City who was good at pasta. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji could find a municipal cooking champion from outside the city!

"If it were him, I would agree to a public duel in the open air." Ji He said calmly.

Even if his opponent was at the same level as him, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

"That's great!" The short and fat man breathed a sigh of relief, with a happy expression on his face.

"Don't be too happy too soon." Ji He glanced at the pudgy man, "I have an additional condition."

"After winning, I want both Zhao Ji's pasta recipe and the pasta recipe you have mastered."

"this…"

The short, fat man showed a hesitant expression again.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

Ji He nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left Liu Ji Noodle House.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in running a restaurant."
