Chat group: Taming Kuina, controlling Cynthia

Although I've never met him in person, his iconic steel rod is very easy to recognize.

"I'm OK."

"Great idea! We'll have lunch and dinner out, and then come back for a late-night snack competition with shumai! Little Master, remember to prepare plenty of extra-large shumai."

The two, one big and one small, laughed and joked.

"Don't worry, everyone will have plenty to eat!"

The young master earnestly promised.

The group gradually left Yangquan Restaurant and strolled around the food street in East G.

"Tony! Come quick! This is the Dumpling Brothers' shop. I heard the food is amazing!"

"I'm coming!"

"Brother Ye, isn't this the winning shop from last year's dumpling competition? Would you like to try some?"

"Exactly what I want!"

Similar conversations could be heard all over the streets.

Everyone made a special trip to find the famous restaurants that appeared in the video, and they went in groups of three or five to taste the food, wanting to try all the local specialties of East G.

Gu Beichen, Xilona, ​​and Xiaoxue were also leisurely strolling around.

He put his arm around Xiaoxue's waist and whispered, "You've had a tough year."

"Actually, it was very fulfilling! I learned a lot."

"Once we get back, I can make glowing dishes for everyone."

Xiaoxue answered with a smile.

"Then we should look forward to it."

"Looking forward to tasting Xiaoxue's cooking."

Gu Beichen and Shirona both laughed.

The sky gradually darkened.

Everyone hid in Yangquan Restaurant. Gu Beichen used a spatial barrier and a soundproof barrier to hide everyone, while a group of people hid on the side watching the excitement.

Master Jidi was a little worried: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Master Jie might be frightened."

Gu Beichen said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, he's not that bad at mentally."

In the hall, the young master was resting with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard, and Master Xie strode in.

He looked around, his gaze landing on the young master and Shiro, who was pretending to close his eyes.

Shiro suddenly opened his eyes and said with a grin, "You've come?"

Master Xie looked completely bewildered: "Kid, are you talking to me?"

He approached Shiro and stared down at the child.

That scarred face, coupled with that serious expression, startled Shiro so much that he immediately hid behind the young master.

"Still so timid, even learning the Dao Foundation Technique is useless."

Tony, hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but complain.

Gu Beichen laughed and said, "How easy is it to change one's personality?"

Gabrielle said while eating watermelon, "It's mainly because Master Xie looks too fierce."

Gu Beichen was speechless for a moment; what he said was indeed true.

Seeing that Si Lang was so cowardly, Master Xie helplessly turned to Xiao Dang Jia.

He noticed the white cloth strip tied to the young master's sleeve, remembered the purpose of his visit, and grinned: "You must be the young master of Yangquan Restaurant?"

The young master opened his eyes and met Master Xie's gaze. Without flinching, he replied, "That's right! I've been waiting for you, Master Xie, the top-level pastry chef!"

"Oh?"

Master Xie raised an eyebrow, saw the fighting spirit in the young master's eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Interesting! It seems you really have been waiting for me."

Although I don't know where you got this information, I, Steel Rod Breaker, hereby formally issue you a challenge!

Chapter 66: I should have brought Pepper along!

With that, he took the steel rod off his back, deftly tossed aside the cloth strip, and swung it twice in the air, the tip pointing directly at Little Master: "I will defeat you and etch your name into my record list! Are you ready?"

"Anytime!"

The young master's gaze was resolute.

As the two locked eyes, sparks seemed to fly, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Just then, Gu Beichen removed the barrier, and the crowd of onlookers suddenly appeared, bursting into applause and cheers.

"It's finally started!"

"I've been waiting for this moment for so long!"

"I haven't heard these kinds of lines from a thrilling duel in ages!"

Listening to everyone's teasing, the young master scratched his head awkwardly, while Master Xie's face darkened even more.

He snorted coldly, forcing himself to remain calm, and said to the young master, "Stop daydreaming, kid! Where's the kitchen? Let's get this over with quickly!"

"this way please!"

The young master snapped out of his daze and quickly led the way.

The crowd excitedly followed, chattering amongst themselves:

"Finally, we'll get to see Master Xie's amazing skills!"

"The perfect ratio of shumai!"

"Cooking Master Boy's Cosmic Shumai is also making its debut!"

Hearing the murmurs behind him, Chef Xie whirled around and demanded, "How do you know about the golden ratio shumai? And Little Chef's new dish? The competition events haven't even been announced yet!"

Gu Beichen immediately stopped the discussion and reassured Master Xie, "Focusing on the competition is the most important thing."

He secretly used mental suggestion to temporarily put Master Xie's doubts aside.

The game started quickly, and the dart landed on the "shumai" (a type of dumpling).

When faced with the options, Master Xie felt a sense of déjà vu.

On the other side, Gabriel was about to make a joke when she was silenced.

She glared angrily at Gu Beichen, but found that she couldn't even utter a sound of protest.

Zhang Sanfeng explained in the group: "This is a silence technique created by the group owner, and it is available for purchase in the store."

Gabrielle then realized that Gu Beichen had turned the magic in the novel into reality.

Gu Beichen sent a message in the group: "This was indeed derived from that concept! It's not difficult to create, and the effect is quite good!"

Gabriel replied: "...Of course it's easy for you."

Aizen added, "Furthermore, if you had been paying close attention just now, you could have sensed a faint fluctuation of magical energy emanating from the group leader."

Gabriel immediately retorted, "Who would stare at him like that? Humph!"

Saeko Busujima reminded everyone: "The match has begun!"

Everyone immediately stopped chatting and turned their attention to Master Xie.

Master Xie selected a high-quality Jinhua ham, took off his shirt to reveal his firm muscles, and took a deep breath.

He picked up the steel rod, snapped it in two with force, and shouted, "Hah!!!"

Immediately afterwards, he swung the steel rod with both hands, pounding the ham meat quickly and forcefully.

His movements were bold and powerful, with an astonishing momentum.

Under repeated blows from the steel rod, the ham gradually cracked and deformed.

Tony Stark exclaimed, "Even though I'd seen it in videos before, seeing it in person still feels unbelievable! This doesn't look like a normal person at all!"

Yue Buqun chimed in: "Indeed, an ordinary person couldn't grind meat with a steel rod."

Gabriel retorted, "You guys are actually using common sense to judge a food-themed anime? Food that glows is even more absurd, isn't it? And you accepted that too?"

Yue Buqun and Tony were speechless for a moment.

As usual, Little Chef was just staring blankly at the game. Dudu said helplessly, "Here we go again! Can't you just focus on the game?"

Silang calmly waved his hand: "Hasn't Master always been like this? Didn't he always win in the end?"

Silang stared at Master Xie wielding a steel rod and couldn't help but mutter, "This guy is too fierce! He's like a savage, not someone cooking!"

He had always thought that chefs should be as elegant and composed as their masters, but he never expected to witness such a wild and unrestrained one today.

"Stop daydreaming, Shiro! We need to get started!"

The young master snapped out of his daze and immediately picked up the whole pig to begin processing it.

With a flash of knife, the pork was instantly dismembered, leaving even Master Xie stunned.

"This...you must be joking?"

Master Xie's eyes widened.

He had practiced martial arts since he was a child and considered himself to be highly skilled, but the speed before him was simply too exaggerated.

After Little Master finished the whole pig in just a few minutes, Master Xie finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Hey kid! What's with your skills? How can an ordinary person have such fast knife skills?"

The young master nodded with a smile: "More or less!"

Master Jian wanted to ask more questions, but he raised his hand to interrupt: "I will explain in detail after the competition. I also have something I want to ask you."

He plans to find legendary cooking utensils and travel to another world to hone his culinary skills.

But going alone is too risky, and taking Dudu and the others with me isn't enough.

More than a year ago, he had the idea of ​​forming a team of chefs.

Master Xie, Ryan, and Afei are all candidates he has his eye on, and he believes they will not refuse the invitation.

Seeing Dugu Qiubai and Ye Gucheng team up to explore another world, Xiao Dangjia decided to follow suit.

"Row!"

Master Xie gave him a deep look, then composed himself and continued preparing the filling.

Next, we'll make the shumai wrappers.

Master Xie arranged the small dough balls in a row and placed them on steel rods.

He braced himself against the steel rod with one hand and suddenly began to spin upside down.

As the dough spins at high speed, it is rolled into a thin, round sheet.

"fantastic!"

"It's like watching a circus performance!"

The audience was captivated by this unique dough-rolling technique, finding it much more interesting than the performances of ordinary chefs.

Master Shi Quan stroked his beard and exclaimed, "As expected of the genius pastry chef Steel Rod Jie, he truly lives up to his reputation!"

This reminded him of his own youth, and he couldn't help but sigh, "I still need to keep cultivating myself and maintaining my youthful vitality!"

Tony Stark felt that the path to becoming a master chef might actually be possible, and the current situation seemed to confirm it.

Gu Beichen noticed that Xiao Dangjia was planning to build a team of chefs, and its future development was promising.

He remarked, "Life becomes more meaningful when people find like-minded partners and persevere on the path they have chosen."

Ye Gucheng and Dugu Qiubai both expressed their agreement.

Gabriel retorted, "Aren't you the best example?"

Zhang Sanfeng hoped that more like-minded friends would join him: "The more like-minded people there are, the less lonely we will be in the future."
