"I can't say it's all my fault, but I did play an irreplaceable role."
Liu Zheng said modestly.
"Hmph, I think you are just used as food."
As expected of the chef of Bloodstained Restaurant, Napoleon saw through the truth at a glance.
"That's understandable. How does it taste?"
"Huh, you have to try it before you know."
Napoleon said.
"Then please taste it."
Liu Zheng made a gesture of please.
"Salmon, bring me my spoon."
Napoleon shouted.
"Oh."
Calico Cat dropped the vegetable leaves in his hand, took a spoon and trotted over.
"Wow, this soup tastes so delicious, can I drink it?"
It sniffed and asked.
"Then you have to ask him. This is his soup."
Napoleon took the spoon and said.
"Liu Zheng, can I have your soup?"
Calico Cat looked at Liu Zheng expectantly.
"Uh, of course."
He looked at Napoleon's half-smiling expression and had no choice but to say.
"You're so kind. I'll get you some dried fish later."
Calico Cat said happily.
Napoleon scooped a spoonful from the soup pot and put it into his beak.
There are no flashy clothes, no glow, and no colorful special effects.
Napoleon just smiled slightly and then straightened his face.
"The heat is good and the seasoning is reasonable, but the color of the soup is too light and the base is too thin, making it difficult to taste elegant."
it commented.
"I will pass your comments on to the cook of this pot of soup, but she may have other opinions."
Liu Zheng said.
"Humph, my evaluation is the final evaluation. Who dares to have an opinion?"
Napoleon said proudly.
"I can't say anything else, but when it comes to making soup, that chef not only has great opinions, but also has great opinions. In fact, this pot of soup is her challenge to you."
"War letter?"
Napoleon's eyes were sharp and filled with disdain.
"Just for this pot of soup, she doesn't deserve it."
"What if we add this soup pot?"
he asked.
"Huh?"
"The chef's name is Guokou Tangzi, and she is the eldest sister of Ultimate Flavor Group. She asked me to challenge you to a soup-making competition. The bet is half of this soup pot."
Liu Zheng said.
"Ultimate Flavor Group, I've heard about it. It turns out that there was a signboard in the Metropolis catering industry, but it was discovered that Metropolis Culinary Competition was using banned seasonings. He was disqualified from the competition and took off the signboard, and then disappeared. Turns out he's still alive."
Napoleon recalled it and said.
"Metropolis Culinary Competition?"
"That's right. It's a semi-official competition. The winners can get rewards such as priority purchase rights for ingredients. The top three can also get the right to purchase some controlled ingredients. The champion can even get the opportunity to go to Borderlands to purchase ingredients."
"But the time is not fixed. Sometimes it is held once a year, and sometimes it is not held once every ten years. The last Metropolis Culinary Competition seems to have been five years ago."
Napoleon said.
"With Metropolis's rich products, do we still need to go outside Borderlands to purchase ingredients?"
He couldn't help but complain.
"There are always some ingredients that Metropolis doesn't have. Things are rare and valuable. No matter how valuable these ingredients are on the outside, when they arrive at Metropolis, they are more expensive than gold."
"Moreover, the soil and water in Metropolis are also different from those outside. The same ingredients grown in Metropolis are different from those grown outside."
Napoleon explained.
"I haven't tasted anything different."
"Nonsense, you've never eaten imported ingredients."
Napoleon glanced at him with contempt.
Liu Zheng said nothing, but in his heart he despised White-Feather Chicken.
He has never eaten ingredients imported from outside Borderlands, but he has eaten ingredients from another world, and he eats them every day.
What is the air of a chicken in the well who can only stay at Kitchen?
"Then how many championships have our Bloodstained Restaurant won?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"It's a shame that you're still a human being and asked such an idiot question."
Napoleon looked at him with even more contempt.
???
"We Bloodstained Restaurant still need to compete, of course we have to be judges."
Napoleon said naturally.
"Oh."
Liu Zheng nodded perfunctorily.
Okay, this guy was tricked by you.
"This Guokou Tangzi, I guess he just wants to re-establish the Ultimate Flavor Group brand by defeating Bloodstained Restaurant. It's a good plan."
Napoleon sneered.
"Then you compete?"
"Compare, why not compete. Ultimate Flavor Group's cooking skills are not good, but this soup pot is indeed a good thing. It would be a pity to leave it in their hands. But I can't get out, so I'd rather let her come in to compete."
Napoleon said.
As a chef, you can still let outsiders in as long as there are legitimate reasons.
Winning the soup pot and improving Restaurant's soup level is a valid reason.
Of course, whether Guokou Tangzi can still get out after the competition is over is another matter.
"No, you each cook the soup, and then I give it to the other party to taste. As for the result of the competition, Guokou Tangzi said she believes in your integrity as a top chef. Peaceful Hand."
Liu Zheng said.
"Conduct, she will give me a high hat. But it's not impossible."
Napoleon said.
It definitely won't cheat. If it loses to Guokou Tangzi in making soup, it actually doesn't mean anything.
Bloodstained Restaurant's cooking skills must be No. 1 in Metropolis, but there is no requirement to be No. 1 in every category.
Otherwise Si Xue wouldn't have to do anything else every day, just interview new chefs and be done with it.
As for Guokou Tangzi cheating, there is no need to worry.
Napoleon can't get out, but that doesn't mean it can't affect the outside.
It's just Ultimate Flavor Group that has had its sign removed. If you dare to cheat, let them become the chef's recommended dish tomorrow.
"Then I will contact her to confirm the time and content of the competition?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"Okay, but you tell her, I want the soup pot to be intact. If she wins, I can give her a flower basket."
Napoleon said.
"What flower basket?"
"Chef Bloodstained Restaurant, chef Napoleon, congratulations to Ultimate Flavor Group for reopening. I wish you can get your brand back soon and reach new heights."
"Just this flower basket is more effective than her sending 10 million to the City Hall."
Napoleon holds his head high and shows his domineering attitude.
"Awesome, awesome. Huh?"
Suddenly an idea came to his mind.
Since it's a competition and there happens to be no judges, that's not as good.
"Master Chef, can I invite Captain Dragonfly to be the referee?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"Captain Dragonfly?"
Napoleon was stunned for a long time this time.
"When I think about it, there seems to be a guy like this who acts as a referee for everyone, but doesn't appear in regular games. He's like a lunatic."
"Yes, that's it. People are a bit neurotic, but being a referee is quite fair. Last time I competed against the postman 'Deadly Delivery', they decided that I won."
He briefly described the competition with the postman.
"I've given up on the idea of transferring you here. It's such a rare thing to happen even if you're delivering takeout. Kitchen might create a big mess if it comes."
Napoleon looked at him speechlessly.
"Ahem, accidents, they are all accidents. What do you think?"
"If that's the case, that's not okay. But if the referee is unfair, I won't recognize the result."
Napoleon said.
"This is no problem."
Liu Zheng nodded.
Captain Dragonfly is obviously bound by the rules and cannot make an unfair referee.
Even if it breaks the rules, it can't be a trivial matter like a soup-making competition.
"Are you done?"
Napoleon asked.
"One more thing."
"Why do you have so many things on your hands? Tell me quickly. If you still have something to worry about after you finish talking, I will chop you up right here."
Napoleon said impatiently.
"Then there are two more things."
Liu Zheng changed his words.
"Say."
"The first item, I want to buy a copy of All-Insect Banquet. The second item, I want to buy a few more bottles of good wine."
he said.
"The first one, All-Insect Banquet, is available, but there is only one in stock, so I can't sell it to you."
Napoleon said.
"One?"
"That's right, the name of this insect is All-Insect. It is a type of insect purchased from Borderlands. The quantity is very rare. Since the shipment was made several decades ago, there is no supply anymore."
Napoleon said.
"What if I ask someone to order takeout?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"You want to replicate the meal in your takeout box?"
"That's right."
He nodded in admission.
The effect of Legendary Delivery Box should be no secret in Restaurant.
"Yes. But you have to find someone who can bear the price."
Napoleon said.
"All-Insect Banquet is of high quality?"
"It's not really high, but I just said that as long as there are ingredients that Metropolis doesn't have, no matter how much it is originally worth, it will become more expensive than gold. Moreover, there is only one left in stock."
"The value of this All-Insect Banquet takeaway is at least equivalent to one Tier-Two Banquet."
Napoleon said.
Tier-One Banquet corresponds to Galaxy-Class Private Room, and Tier-Two Banquet corresponds to Planet-Class Private Room.
Thinking of the last time Pajama Bros had his intestines eaten, Liu Zheng shuddered a little.
"Can the price be more specific?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"You should go back and ask Cow-Horse about this, it should know better than me."
Napoleon shook his head.
"Okay, what about the second thing?"
"I won't sell it either. The favor I owe you has been repaid."
Napoleon said with full malice.
"Hey."
He knew that this fat chicken still held a grudge.
But it doesn't matter, just let Cow-Horse buy it later, and you can get some rebates if you eat them.
I can't give up the rebate, I can't get French Plane Tree.
"You talk too much and it affects my performance."
Napoleon suddenly flapped its wings, and a hidden cold light flashed away.
Liu Zheng only felt his mouth getting cold, and his tongue was already in Napoleon's hand.
"What a fast knife."
He was a little shocked.
The second thing is the speed of the knife. The key is how Napoleon cut off his tongue without hurting his mouth.
You know, Liu Zheng just kept his mouth shut.
Seeing the shock in his eyes, Napoleon smiled proudly.
This human being is doing things outside every day, thinking that he is really a person.
It just wants him to understand that in Kitchen, whether it is a dragon or a tiger, it is just a dish in its pot.
"Let's go."
Napoleon carried Liu Zheng directly towards Slaughterhouse.
The Slaughterhouse of Bloodstained Restaurant looks very similar to the slaughterhouse of Oink. I don't know who copied which.
It threw Liu Zheng onto the slaughtering table, which immediately became unable to move.
"Tell me, weren't you very eloquent just now?"
Napoleon looked at Liu Zheng who was staring at it and mocked.
"I've only heard of boiling beef tongue, but I've never heard of lamb tongue being boiled."
Liu Zheng really said it, even though it was a bit unclear.
Napoleon's face turned dark, forgetting that this kid had never heard of Gospel.
"Not only can the sheep's tongue be rinsed, but other parts of your body can also be rinsed. You will know soon."
It grabbed a knife as thin as a cicada's wing and inserted it between Liu Zheng's legs.
After taking a hot bath, my cold got worse. Chapter 2 will still be late tomorrow.
