Chapter 283 - He Subdued a Few Chefs
Observing the group, Jiang Hao was struck by a sudden inspiration.
He could have easily dismissed their skepticism, but managing a banquet single-handedly was a different challenge altogether.
After all, as the host of today's event, he couldn't just hide away in the kitchen, could he?
What he needed was the assistance of a few skilled chefs.
Fortunately, the culinary grandmasters at Heavenly-Mansion Tavern were just the right people to lend him a hand!
But these grandmasters were no ordinary chefs; they wouldn't offer their help at the drop of a hat.
It all boiled down to one thing: strength!
And not just any strength, but an overwhelming one.
Only by demonstrating undeniable superiority and crushing their pride would they willingly acknowledge his authority.
In this business, strength speaks louder than words.
Jiang Hao's eyes swept over the master chefs before resting on Xue Zixi and finally settling on Head Chef Lin, who was leading the group. He spoke up.
“If you're not convinced, then allow me to demonstrate a thing or two.”
Hearing this, Xue Zixi quickly offered an apologetic bow to Jiang Hao.
“Mr. Jiang, I apologize for the inconvenience!”
Jiang Hao dismissed it with a wave of his hand.
“No worries. We're all in the culinary field; I understand how it works. Strength will be my argument.”
“Very well, lead me to the kitchen!”
Xue Zixi, hearing his request, promptly guided the way.
The master chefs trailing behind watched Jiang Hao's display of confidence—his calm and collected demeanor.
And his words sparked an unbelievable notion in their minds.
“Could this young man actually be a culinary Grandmaster?”
The thought was so startling that it sent a shock through them.
“How could that be? It's impossible!”
They, as seasoned culinary masters, were well aware of the immense difficulty in attaining the rank of Grandmaster.
The gap between a master chef and a Grandmaster was vast, like a chasm separating heaven and earth.
After all these years, they hadn't even come close to the threshold, let alone a mere child!
They refused to believe that this youngster could be a Grandmaster.
But as Jiang Hao and Xue Zixi made their way to the kitchen, the master chefs exchanged glances and quickly followed suit.
They were determined to unveil the truth behind this facade.
In the back of the kitchen, Jiang Hao was decked out in his chef's attire, his knife dancing through the air like a sprite amidst a bed of flowers. In just a moment, the raw ingredients before him were transformed into culinary masterpieces under his deft touch.
He ignited the flame, added a drizzle of oil, a pinch of salt, and then the ingredients, all while his spoon flipped and turned with the grace of a flowing river. What was a mere cooking process became an art form in Jiang Hao's hands, a visual delight for onlookers.
The grandmasters from the Heavenly-Mansion Tavern's elite section were spellbound. Yet, this spectacle was just the prelude.
Soon, a rich aroma wafted through the kitchen, so potent it seemed to perfume the air for miles around. Then, a dish was ready. Jiang Hao, with a flourish, presented the plate.
Deliciousness +5, Happiness +3!
Observing the stats hovering above this exceptional dish, a smile crept across Jiang Hao's face. He approached the awestruck chefs, offering them chopsticks with a gesture.
“Please, have a taste,” he invited.
The sight of such a refined and fragrant dish made their throats twitch with anticipation. They reached for the chopsticks and dove in. At the first bite, a jolt ran through them. It was as if their taste buds were set alight, on the verge of bursting with flavor.
