Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

"Everyone here, you are here today! We have an event here, a Cantonese chef is competing with a Sichuan chef. In a little while, the two chefs will present their specialties. Now I invite everyone here to be the judges and comment on whose dish is more delicious and more appetizing. What do you think?"

Everyone was stunned for a second after hearing this, and wanted to agree without thinking, but this dish...

"Boss, I need to taste this dish to know if it suits your taste. Will you charge us?"

Although people who come here are generally not short of money, they will try to save as much as possible, for fear of being ripped off after eating the dishes, which would not be worth it. Therefore, it is better to say some things in advance.

Xiao Weiguo smiled and waved his hand. "The dishes for the competition are free. As long as you don't mind, we will uphold the principle of not wasting, and everything will be free!"

"Great, this is great, I can even catch such a good thing while coming to eat!"

"Boss, this is a very generous thing. I have to wait. I won't even drink the wine. I'll save some space for you!"

"Boss, please pay for the food first, or I'll forget and be embarrassed later!"

The guests at several tables were extremely enthusiastic and applauded and cheered.

Looking back at the kitchen, the two chefs had already started preparing the dishes with their apprentices!

"There are five dishes in total! Each dish is chosen by the chef himself based on the available ingredients. The five dishes can always be decided by a 3 to 2 ratio. Let's see today whether Cantonese cuisine or Sichuan cuisine is more to everyone's taste!"

Xiao Weiguo was receiving briefings in the lobby, while the guests in the front hall could also see what was happening inside through the glass windows.

In the private room on the second floor, Qin Jingru was unaware of the situation downstairs. When the two children saw the dishes being served, they naturally couldn't help but drool and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

Qin Huairu also chatted with Qin Jingru while eating.

Downstairs, Chef Wang was faster because it was his home court. Most importantly, his assistant was stronger and could prepare food faster than Bang Geng.

When Shazhu finished preparing the ingredients, he turned around and saw Banggeng still cutting potato shreds. He felt terrible.

Not only was the anger written all over his face, at one point he was even about to start cursing.

It's an old habit I developed while working in the factory. I would start arguing whenever I disagreed with someone. There's nothing I can do about it. It's a habit I've developed over the years.

Ten minutes later, accompanied by the aroma, Chef Wang's first dish came out of the pot.

"The boiled chicken is ready, please try it!"

As he spoke, he took the food out of the pot and put it on a plate. Sha Zhu had just heated up the oil and put the food in the pot. "Don't just stand there, hurry up and prepare the next dish! Go cut the meat!"

Shazhu was talking to Banggeng in an unpleasant tone, and Banggeng could only do hard labor with an empty stomach. Do you have any complaints?

Sorry, but the work has to be done.

After a while, sweat began to appear on Shazhu's forehead, but he still completed the first dish with his excellent skills, the shredded pork with fish flavor.

The waiter brought the two dishes to the front hall, and Xiao Weiguo waved at the two of them outside, suggesting that they come out.

Sha Zhu glanced at Chef Wang, and Chef Wang made a gentleman's gesture and took the initiative to invite him first.

Sha Zhu nodded and walked out of the kitchen. Seeing Xiao Weiguo's evil smile, he felt that he had been fooled! But he had already boarded the pirate ship and could not get off!

"These two dishes are made by two great chefs. Please try them."

"You two should come over and try it, and give your opponent a score!"

There were five tables of guests in the front hall. The waiter used a spoon to serve two dishes to each table, and the rest was tasted by Xiao Weiguo and others.

Everyone couldn't help drooling at the delicious dishes. They didn't bother to talk and quickly picked up their chopsticks.

"Hmm... so spicy! Ahem... ahem..."

Finished! When Sha Zhu heard the cough, he was speechless for a moment.

This person definitely can’t give himself a high score!

If it doesn't suit his taste, it doesn't matter how delicious it is!

"This Sichuan cuisine is authentic and delicious! It's definitely the only one in the city!"

Ok?

Hearing such a voice, Sha Zhu couldn't help but look up. When he tasted the boiled chicken made by Chef Wang, his eyebrows instantly frowned.

He never thought that an ordinary chicken could be made into something delicious other than chicken soup!

A suspicious look said it all.

After tasting the shredded pork with fish flavor, Chef Wang smacked his lips and gave a thumbs up, saying that this dish was absolutely excellent.

"We have all tasted it. Everyone has different tastes and preferences for dishes. But if you were asked to choose only one of the two dishes in front of you, which one would you choose? Now let's start the vote counting process. Those who choose boiled chicken, raise your hand..."

Under the leadership of Xiao Weiguo, the front hall was extremely lively. People passing by the door saw the occasional applause in the room and came over to watch the fun.

When they learned that there were two chefs competing inside, they were even more surprised when they were offered free food tastings, and they all came over to try them.

After the first round of vote counting, Chef Wang had three more votes than Sha Zhu. This completely aroused Sha Zhu's desire to win. He looked incredulous. His famous name was being surpassed?

Xiao Weiguo spread his hands, indicating that public opinion cannot be violated!

"Are you two still going to play?"

Seeing that Sha Zhu's face looked strange, Xiao Weiguo gave him a look, and Chef Wang smiled without saying anything.

"Why don't we just leave it at that for today? We're only three votes short, that's not too bad!"

Well, Chef Wang had good intentions to mediate, but he ended up arousing Sha Zhu's competitive spirit even more.

"Keep competing! I don't believe I can't win!"

Now, he is full of energy as if he has been injected with chicken blood, and his eyes reveal determination.

If we send Sha Zhu to the battlefield at this time, he will definitely fight bravely and lay a solid foundation for our victory.

Then the results of the second, third, and fourth rounds came out one after another. Sha Zhu and Chef Wang ended up in a tie, 2-2!

Each won two games and lost two games.

"We only have one round left. Are the two chefs ready? If... ahem... we don't have to compete anymore. Our chef Wang is older and more generous. How about you win the fifth round?"

Xiao Weiguo was mainly afraid that Sha Zhu would run away, so he used a provocation to instantly give him another round of motivation, but Chef Wang also started to take it seriously!

I’m just afraid that people with ability will get serious!

As the home chef, winning or losing is not only a matter of one’s own face, but also the face of the restaurant.

Chef Wang stared at the remaining ingredients with a stern face and already had an idea in his mind.

Fifteen minutes later, all the dishes for the fifth round were ready. Both chefs were so busy that sweat broke out on their foreheads. It was obvious that they had put all their efforts into it.

This is also the effect Xiao Weiguo wants!

With Sha Zhu joining, the restaurant undoubtedly got free advertising.

At this time, a lot of people had gathered at the entrance of the restaurant. Qin Huairu and others also heard the lively applause and went downstairs to see this rare scene.

The children jumped and stared at the kitchen window. The delicious food with good smell, color and taste had already come out of the pot and was about to enter their mouths!
