During the Spring Festival, because "Late Rice" is also facing the peak period of New Year meals, Liu Huaxing and Yang Xiaoxiao are going to help out in the restaurant. At this moment, the renovation of the restaurant next door has been officially completed, and the next step is to recruit new employees and conduct training, which will take about a month or two.

Yang Chengzhi's plan is to start recruiting and training after the Spring Festival has passed.

On the first day of the new year, Liu Huaxing was busy in the restaurant, so Yang Chengzhi hurried to the back kitchen.

"Ah Xing, there is a guest outside who wants to see you." Yang Chengzhi frowned. Looking at Yang Chengzhi's expression, it seemed that the guest didn't want to call him out to thank him for his hospitality tonight, so he took it easy. After wiping his hands, he followed Yang Chengzhi to the outer hall.

At this moment, a young man is sitting at the table, on which is the classic boiled fish set meal of their shop. This young man was probably in his early thirties, with thin cheeks and a mustache. He exuded a confident and unrestrained aura.

Because it is the first day of the new year, most of the people who come to the store at this time come to eat the New Year's meal, so most of them take boxes, and he is the only one who is scattered in the hall below and is alone, which is particularly conspicuous.

"You are the chef of this restaurant." The other party wiped his hands elegantly with a napkin, and looked at him and asked lightly.

"Yes, may I help you?" Liu Huaxing asked with a smile.

The other party threw the napkin on the table, squinted his eyes and sat on the bench squinting at Liu Huaxing and sneered: "You are quite young, so this level is understandable. But, I didn't expect that Michelin has also fallen now." Ah, in order to open up the domestic market, I actually gave a restaurant of this level two stars."

"May I ask which dishes are you dissatisfied with?" Yang Chengzhi asked patiently.

"Which dishes am I dissatisfied with?" The other party asked back with a sneer, "These dishes are not worthy of appearing in a Michelin-starred restaurant. Do I need to tell you what level a real Michelin-starred restaurant is?"

Upon hearing these words, Liu Huaxing knew that the other party had come prepared. Because late rice's business is so good now, many people want to take advantage of the popularity of late rice. For example, some time ago, many people wanted to cooperate with the brand "Landao" to open a branch, just to gain popularity.

And the one in front of him is another kind of person, the kind who wants to gain popularity by proving that he is better than "Late Rice".

Once someone can prove that they can cook those dishes that are more delicate than late rice, with the right amount of publicity, then they can use this stunt to promote their restaurants. And this is probably the so-called "kicking the hall".

"What? As the head chef of the first two-star Michelin restaurant in China, don't you even have this kind of confidence?" The other party asked.

The provocative meaning in this sentence is beyond words. Yang Chengzhi has also been in the catering industry for decades. Of course he wants what Liu Huaxing wants, so he planned to refuse at that time. After all, this kind of behavior of kicking the gymnasium does not do them any good. Even if they prove themselves, other people only think it is reasonable, but if there is no way to prove themselves, the consequences will be disastrous.

Liu Huaxing reckoned that someone was secretly shooting a video or something. He pondered for a while, maybe he should follow his plan and use the other party's plan to continue to promote Wandao. So when Yang Chengzhi refused, Liu Huaxing smiled: "Okay, then let me see your so-called Michelin-level craftsmanship."

"Hmph, easy to say." The other party smiled slightly, then stood up and began to untie his tie, with an arrogant smile on his face: "My name is Gu Jingzhou. After finishing my advanced studies at Le Cordon Bleu in France five years ago, I spent four years in Europe. Five Michelin-starred restaurants, today I will let you see what is called real Michelin-level craftsmanship."

"Well—" Liu Huaxing nodded happily and smiled, then whispered to Yang Chengzhi: "Don't worry, uncle, leave it to me."

After the other party came to the kitchen, he started busy on his own, while Liu Huaxing was curiously looking for the other party's method of filming. Someone must be secretly filming all this, and he didn't know what the method was.

"Who is this person?" Yang Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Jingzhou with a frown, and asked Liu Huaxing in a low voice, "He looks like his own family... His mustache is really disgusting, he looks like a character in an anti-Japanese war movie." Like a Jap."

"I'll find out in a while. You're taking pictures here with your mobile phone." Liu Huaxing exhorted in a low voice, then came to Yang Chengzhi's side and explained a few words to him: "Uncle, go and let a few people find a way to get this A farce recorded. Just in case."

Yang Chengzhi naturally knew what he meant. This kind of private "cooking duel" must leave some evidence to prevent the other party from making any major incidents and suddenly bite back with no proof, so Yang Chengzhi immediately arranged for people to prepare for this. It's over.

Gu Jingzhou was busy back and forth in front of the stove, while Liu Huaxing watched him cook over there with great interest. In all fairness, Gu Jingzhou did have some real skills, whether it was cooking techniques, knife skills, or plate presentation, he was impeccable and absolutely It is a chef from a regular Michelin restaurant.

But Liu Huaxing didn't make any comments, and didn't interrupt the other party. He just watched from the side until the other party finished his work.

"It's done." Gu Jingzhou finally wiped the sauce in a beautiful arc on the plate, and then smiled, wiped his hands and looked at the people in front of him, "Okay, let's see the real Michelin craftsmanship, earth beetle us."

Everyone gathered around immediately, and the scene was silent for a while. Even if the entire kitchen was full of veteran chefs who had been cooking for more than ten years, they were speechless when they saw the dishes in front of them.

A typical Michelin dish, there is only one bite of food on a plate, and the presentation is extremely delicate, everything is like a work of art, not only makes people unbearable to eat, but also makes people don't know how to eat. Most of the chefs on site were domestic cooks, who knew the Michelin-starred style, so naturally they dared not comment casually.

"This...how do you eat this?" Master Chen asked, looking at the four "wheat ears" inserted in the quilt.

From a visual point of view, this dish is a pile of colorful flowers and plants, with four wheat ears of unknown material inserted on it. Although it looks gorgeous and exquisite, people don't know whether they should eat these four "wheat ears" or the flowers and plants in the middle.

"Heh..." Gu Jingzhou seemed a little helpless. He sneered, crossed his arms and said, "This is cheese chips made of grains, and the middle is made of honey flower and cabbage core. The moment the crispy skin melts in your mouth, you can taste the botanical fragrance from the lemon balm and cabbage core. Try it, you may never taste it again.”

At that time, Master Chen blushed, put down the ears of wheat and stepped aside. The other dishes are basically the same as this one, each serving is a small bite, but each serving is so delicate that it looks like a work of art. A total of six dishes, lobster panna cotta, clam cream caviar, wheat ear bread, cod three meals, black truffle lamb chops, matcha mousse with caramel sauce,

"Well, I thought there was something special about the first Michelin restaurant in mainland China, but this level really disappointed me." Gu Jingzhou sighed in disappointment, and then put on his coat, "It seems that this is going to be in China. It is not difficult to make a name for yourself.”

After finishing speaking, Gu Jingzhou buttoned his suit on his own, looked at Liu Huaxing, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Think of these dishes as my treat for you, and eat them all if you like them. I will cook them later. If you are in a restaurant, you are also welcome to come and taste it.”

From the beginning to the end, Gu Jingzhou's face was full of indescribable confidence, indifference, and arrogance. But now, he still holds this arrogance and plans to leave the field as a winner.

For some reason, Gu Jingzhou reminded Liu Huaxing of Jin Shanzhao who came to kick the hall in "Ip Man", kicked all the way there confidently, and then shouted "There is no one in Foshan who can fight!". It's just that Liu Huaxing played the role of Ip Man today. So Liu Huaxing raised his hand and said with a smile: "Don't rush to leave, you treat me, I will always return the gift, right? This is like when you come to kick the hall, you make a move, and then want to slip away before I can make a move?"

After finishing speaking, Liu Huaxing began to roll up his sleeves, sighed slightly, and said with a faint smile: "Some people still think that others are a frog in a well. Maybe you have stayed abroad for too long. Have you ever heard of China's The saying goes, 'There are people beyond people and there is a sky beyond heaven'?"

There is still a confident smile on the corner of Gu Jingzhou's mouth, but Liu Huaxing will make this smile disappear soon.

He rolled up his sleeves, picked materials back and forth in the kitchen, and then came to the stove.

At this time, Gu Jingzhou noticed that Liu Huaxing and he chose the same material, so he sneered and said, "Then do you know that there is a Chinese word called 'Dongshi imitation'?"

"Of course I know." Liu Huaxing said with a smile, and got busy in front of the stove.

Because it was past the peak meal time at noon, the back kitchen was idle, and everyone started to gather around to join in the fun. But even so, no one could influence Liu Huaxing. He was concentrating on preparing the cooking in front of him. It can be said that he had never prepared it so seriously before. At this time, the mentality of cooking for his family is different. Now he is a professional chef.

As the finished dishes began to come out one by one, the arrogance on Gu Jingzhou's face began to shake gradually, and he began to feel a little restless. The hands that were holding him began to exchange and support his chin.

When Liu Huaxing carefully wiped off the excess sauce on the plate with a napkin, leaving a beautiful arc, he also put the last dish on the table, then smiled and raised his hand to Gu Jingzhou and said: " Then, this is my dish, lobster panna cotta, clam cream caviar, cheese crisps, cod three meals, black truffle lamb chops and matcha mousse, please use."
