“But Senior Brother Jiang Wen said that Xu Zhou can make it in just half an hour.”

"That's impossible!"

"Senior brother wouldn't lie!"

Zhang Wanqiu, with a stern face, made another call to Jiang Wen.

On the phone.

Jiang Wen's voice sounded tired, seemingly due to overexertion from practicing.

But when Zhang Wanqiu called, he still answered seriously: "If you've already started to replicate it, you shouldn't eat the beef he makes."

"Why?" Zhang Wanqiu was stunned.

"Because... it will destroy your confidence. You're still young, and that's not good for you."

Xu Zhou is a very respectable opponent.

It ignited his burning desire to surpass others and fueled his passion for cooking.

this time.

As Jiang Wen struggled to revise the recipe for the Snow Melting Soup, those were the most fulfilling days of his career as a chef.

Every day, the first thing I do when I open my eyes is try to replicate Xu Zhou's oyster congee, and then modify my own recipe.

Although it ultimately failed...

...

Jiang Wenhua did not hide his failure in making the Snow Melting Soup dish and frankly told him about it.

"I always thought there was nothing wrong with the Snow Melting Soup dish. From the selection of rice and oysters to the final presentation of the dish, I was very confident."

"Until one day, I overheard two of my VIP customers talking about Xu Zhou's oyster congee..."

Jiang Wen recounted his experiences over this period in a detailed and praise-filled manner.

It felt real, yet inexplicably heartbreaking.

When I heard this.

Zhang Wanqiu was somewhat unaccustomed to his senior brother praising another person's cooking skills in such a way.

His tone was as if he were describing an insurmountable mountain.

"Xiao Qiu, later I had some oyster congee that he made." Jiang Wen paused.

"It's very delicious?"

Zhang Wanqiu became curious.

How delicious can this be?

What happened to Jiang Shixiong that caused him such a blow?

Available in the next second.

Jiang Wen's voice on the other end of the phone stunned him.

"It wasn't very tasty."

"It has surpassed the limits of my understanding. When I was eating it, I felt that there was not a single part that needed to be improved."

"It's a kind of simplicity that goes beyond the ordinary... All his flavors blend together perfectly. While we're still adding things, his recipes have already started subtracting."

Jiang Wen paused for a moment: "That is an insurmountable mountain. If you only copy his recipes, you will never be able to defeat him."

Xu Zhou has perfected this dish. If you follow his method and approach, how can you possibly do it better than him?

...

After hanging up the phone.

Zhang Wanqiu was stunned.

Reaching the ultimate?

Senior brother has such a high opinion of that Xu Zhou!

His competitive spirit was instantly ignited.

"Li Sen!"

"Let's go pick out the ingredients!"

"My senior just said I can't replicate his recipe! So..."

"So, give up?" Li Sen hesitated.

"How can it be!"

Zhang Wanqiu replied without hesitation: "Then I can defeat him by developing my own recipes!"

As long as I also make beef stew in Burgundy red wine!

That rounds up to be considered defeating him using Xu Zhou's recipe!

The group member next to him hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Is that what Senior Brother Jiang Wen meant?

...

Xu Zhou was completely unaware of their conversation. As soon as he got home, he saw his parents diligently memorizing the step-by-step instructions he had given them.

I'm also practicing brushing the sauce diligently.

Upon seeing him return, the two excitedly presented their practice results like treasures, their faces full of anticipation.

"Xiao Zhou, look... we've memorized all the steps."

"My hands don't shake when I'm applying the sauce anymore."

The steps shown in the pictures are very simple, just like making instant noodles. Xu Zhou prepared the seasoning and vegetable packets in advance.

"Wow, that's great, Dad."

Xu Zhou glanced at the thin layer of honey he had brushed on the meat; the meat was now basically evenly coated.

"no problem."

"I've already put the ingredients in the store's cold storage for you."

"it is good!"

The two immediately stood up to get busy with their rice ball business.

They're even still discussing it.

"We don't need to pack these rice balls ourselves. Once we're done, we can deliver them to Songnan University tonight."

"If we have 2,500, each batch of filling can yield 900, and it takes about an hour to cook. We can be back in two or three hours."

I watched them discuss things as they left.

Xu Zhou's lips twitched.

But looking at her parents, who were as excited as if they'd been injected with chicken blood, she hesitated to speak.

Have you forgotten that the three of us still need to eat dinner tonight?

Is rice ball more important than rice?

Forget it.

Go work on the comics!

Xu Zhou entered the room.

The first half of episode 7 was drawn during the three-day closure of the food festival.

But because it was drawn in a hurry.

He had to take it out and check if there was anything that needed to be repaired.

...

Episode 7, Part 1.

In the comic, after his previous "fried steak rice bowl" was rejected, Little Red Hair is thinking about a new dish.

"not enough."

"If you want the tongue to vibrate, then the oil needs to be improved..."

They did it quickly without hesitation.

They immediately brought out new dishes.

Sukiyaki Rice Bowl

Sukiyaki rice bowl!

Little Red Hair handed the finished sukiyaki rice bowl to the president of the Sukiyaki Research Society.

The president took a bite.

I was instantly amazed.

Even after being amazed, he still refused without hesitation.

"not enough."

"It still doesn't capture that high-class deliciousness!"

And so, through repeated setbacks…

Little Red Hair finally brought out the dishes he used in his duel with Meat Demon.

Chariabin Steak

Upon seeing the steak, the president of Gaiyan Society immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"This is a Chariabin steak!"

"Legend has it that when Fedor Chaliapin visited, he had a toothache and asked for tender steak, which is how this dish came about!"

"This is an absolutely creative type of steak!"

The two of them were completely captivated when they took a bite.

"..."

Upon arriving at this point and seeing the scene, Xu Zhou's lips twitched.

It's just a steak, why are you blushing like this...?

"This steak looks pretty ordinary."

"Isn't this just steak topped with onions?"

"It's a good thing this is a fantasy ingredient."

"If you used real steak and onions, you definitely couldn't achieve this effect."

Xu Zhou also saw the contents.

Recipes are also available.

After checking and finding no problems, I uploaded the first half of episode 7.

...

After uploading this time, Xu Zhou practically stayed up all night reading their comments.

Yesterday, I only mentioned one dish, and you all got so excited.

What I'm about to say is all practical information!

You should praise me now.

But when Xu Zhou saw their messages, his smile froze.
