In the hotel room where Qin Lang was staying.

“All the noodle recipes in our family are here.” Zhao Wenchang carefully took out the recipes that his father had organized and handed them to Qin Lang.

“Thank you, let me take a look.” Qin Lang eagerly took them and began to carefully look them over.

Watching Qin Lang read, Zhao Wenchang became increasingly anxious.

Ultimately, he couldn’t help but speak up.

“Qin Lang, we can win using Scallion Oil Noodles, can’t we?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll give my all.” Qin Lang nodded seriously, adding, “Besides, I don’t plan on using Scallion Oil Noodles to compete.”

“Huh? Then what will you use?” Zhao Wenchang was taken aback.

“I’m not sure yet, but one thing is certain.” Qin Lang calmly remarked as he continued to scroll through the recipes, “It will be better than Scallion Oil Noodles.”

Upon hearing Qin Lang’s assured tone, for some reason, the heavy stone in Zhao Wenchang’s heart slowly fell and his nervousness eased considerably.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon Qin Lang finished reading the recipes.

He let out a sigh of relief, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

There were seventeen special noodle dishes in Zhao’s Noodle House.

Some of these dishes could find similar delicacies on Earth, but some of them were completely new.

Some of the techniques and ideas were extremely beneficial to him.

Cooking is a process of integrating and penetrating. With Qin Lang’s current cooking skills, noodle-making techniques are not necessarily only applicable to noodles.

More importantly, Qin Lang already had an idea of what noodle dish to use for this duel.

“I’ve finished reading the recipes.” Returning the stack of papers to Zhao Wenchang, Qin Lang stood up, “Next, we can start preparing for the competition noodle dish.”

Zhao Wenchang carefully put away the noodle recipes, watching Qin Lang head towards the hotel’s kitchen. His mouth opened and closed, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

He was full of curiosity about the food Qin Lang was going to prepare.

“You can come in too.” Qin Lang looked back at Zhao Wenchang.

“Eh?!” Zhao Wenchang blinked, “Can I watch you cook?”

“You’ll see it in the open air cooking competition in a couple of days anyway.” Qin Lang didn’t mind. “Besides, Uncle Zhao shared so many noodle recipes with me. If you want to learn this noodle dish, I can teach you.”

“Then I’ll learn!” Zhao Wenchang rushed into the kitchen, very excited.

Although he still didn’t know what it was, he had absolute confidence in the noodle dish that Qin Lang was going to use for the competition.

“Ladies and gentlemen!”

On the open-air stage set up by the Catering Association, the host opened with a clear voice, attracting many passers-by.

“Today, two Spirit Chefs, representing Zhao’s Noodle House and Liu’s Noodle House respectively, will have a public culinary contest!”

Upon hearing this, more bystanders stopped to watch.

Many onlookers began to gather around the edge of the stage.

“In this competition, the restaurant of the winning side will receive all the noodle recipes from the losing side, and the losing side will promise to stop operating the restaurant from then on!”

Upon hearing this, the crowd around the stage grew larger.

Such a brutal competition was undoubtedly worth watching for the audience.

Soon, the outdoor stage was surrounded three layers deep.

“Now, let’s welcome with warm applause, the Spirit Chef representing Liu’s Noodle House, Jihe!”

Upon hearing this name, many in the audience were taken aback.

The city’s cooking competition in Qingyang City had just ended recently, so they were certainly no strangers to this champion.

Never had they expected that such an ordinary culinary showdown could get Jihe to participate!

For a time, cheers and applause echoed in waves.

Sitting on the side of the stage, the owner of Liu’s Noodle House, Liu Neng, showed a triumphant smile. His eyes were almost completely closed, gleaming with delight.

Looking at Jihe, who was standing in front of the platform amid the cheers, Liu Neng felt like victory was already beckoning to him.

“Let’s welcome with the same warm applause, the Spirit Chef representing Zhao’s Noodle House in this competition, Qin Lang!”

The cheers and applause for this slightly unfamiliar name were noticeably weaker.

However, Zhao Junzhang and Zhao Wenchang, sitting on the other side of the stage, showed no signs of displeasure at all.

They watched Qin Lang, who was slowly making his way to the platform, with excitement and anticipation. Their faces were full of confidence in him.

This confidence came from the dish they had tasted over the past two days.

The noodle dish that Qin Lang was going to use for this culinary duel had left the father and son duo with no doubt about his victory.

Upon reaching the platform, Qin Lang curiously looked at Jihe.

He was a stout young man, taller than Qin Lang. He looked to be in his twenties, with a serious face. His slightly upturned eyes made him seem somewhat grim.

At the same time as Qin Lang was looking at Jihe, Jihe was also calmly sizing up Qin Lang.

Before this, he had heard from another Spirit Chef that the city-level cooking champion from Danju City had gone to Dongxia City to participate in the city-level cooking competition.

He thought it was an easy win, but the Danju City cooking champion was defeated by a Spirit Chef from Dongxia City and lost the city-level cooking championship that was seemingly within grasp.

This was why Jihe had an impression of Qin Lang.

A dark horse, eh…

Jihe’s expression remained calm, but his eyes seemed to be filled with the burning flames of fighting spirit.

Let’s see how strong you really are.

Next to him, three Food Spirits were dancing, meeting the gaze of Dan Bao and Spicy, who were full of fighting spirit next to Qin Lang.

In the void, it seemed as if sparks flashed between the gazes of the two parties.

“For the fairness of this match, we have invited five senior judges from the Spirit Chef Association!” The host’s voice rose a few degrees, extending his hand towards the five people sitting on one side.

The five senior judges each stood up, waved at the audience all around, and then sat down.

Then, they began to talk in low voices, inaudible to the audience.

“The Catering Association’s competition this time is quite formal, huh?”

“I heard that the owner of Liu’s Noodle House wanted to expand his influence, so he sponsored extra money.”

“So that’s what happened, but our votes won’t be swayed by this.”

“Of course not. I’m more pleased that this is a public competition.”

The five judges exclaimed together: “Finally, we won’t be bored waiting for the cooking process.”

After introducing the five judges, the host turned his gaze to the two Spirit Chefs in the field, “Are both sides ready?”

At the host’s words, Qin Lang and Jihe both nodded.

“In that case…” The host elongated his voice, followed by a quick rise in volume, “The culinary showdown between the two Spirit Chefs begins now!”

The audience around the stage immediately erupted.

Amidst roars of encouragement and cheers, both Spirit Chefs moved at once.
