Chapter 187 I Don't Want to Donate a Kidney 13
Xiao Xiao was also confused.
I just casually mentioned it, and you old man are already trying to claim kinship with me?
That's way too casual, isn't it?
Jiang Yuerong's mouth gaped open, seeing that Qi Yuanlin, the top chef in the capital, was serious.
Startled, she quickly reached out and said:
"No, no, no, I can't, I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough..."
She is self-aware and knows her own limitations.
In just a short while, she understood.
With her daughter's guidance, her squirrel-shaped mandarin fish dish received high praise from her rival, Master Lin Wan.
She was lucky to have managed to win amidst the chaos; she dared not shamelessly try to climb over the wall to get in.
Because I really don't have that ability!
Lin Wan, on the other side, was utterly shocked after she realized what was happening.
How can it be?
This seemingly incompetent and fraudulent person, whom she and her fellow disciples considered a fool, was actually a disciple taken in by their master.
She looked shocked and speechless, her mouth agape, unable to utter a sound.
This doesn't look like it at all!
Her messy technique and crude knife skills were inferior to hers in every way. How could the clerk possibly accept her?
What's more, this was clearly a third-rate opponent one moment, and the next moment he became his senior uncle.
How can this be tolerated!
"What are you standing there for? Call out..."
Qi Yuanlin glared at his little apprentice with displeasure and scolded him.
The young apprentice didn't understand that this round wasn't simply a matter of her losing alone.
This also means that the century-old restaurant "Qi Lai Shun" has lost.
He could foresee that once the program aired, Qi Laishun's reputation and business would definitely suffer greatly.
But if we take this unorthodox but beautiful chef, Jiang Yuerong, into our fold and then rank her according to seniority...
From an external perspective, this would appear as a conflict between fellow disciples and their senior masters.
Lin Wan lost to Jiang Yuerong, which means that the junior disciple couldn't beat the senior disciple.
But isn't it only natural for a junior disciple to lose to his senior disciple?
Spreading this around will not damage Qi Laishun's reputation; on the contrary, it will become an interesting anecdote.
If things go wrong, it could even boost Qi Laishun's business.
Why not do something that is so beneficial and without any harm?
Not to mention, Jiang Yuerong also knows the old man's secret recipe for squirrel-shaped mandarin fish.
This is something even he couldn't learn back then!
Based on this point alone, I have to accept this identity today.
Under the stern gaze of her master, Lin Wan had no choice but to call out in a resentful voice:
"...Master...Uncle-Master!"
No, no, no, you mustn't, you mustn't.
At the time, I only received a casual remark from the old man.
I really can't accept this, I really can't accept this..."
Jiang Yuerong quickly took two steps back and waved her hand to politely decline.
"You deserve it, you deserve it, Miss Jiang, you're too modest..."
They were tugging at each other on this side, and Xiao Xiao could see that the tasting scene on the other side was about to get out of control.
She swallowed hard, let go of her mother's hand, and ran over quickly.
Meanwhile, the citizens and guests also began to sample the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish made by Chef Jiang, a dish they had long admired.
They had just eaten Chef Lin Wan's Squirrel Fish, and for them, being able to eat Qi Laishun's famous dish was both surprising and delightful.
The taste naturally met their expectations for this century-old restaurant, and they all gave it a thumbs up in praise.
They had long been drooling over Chef Jiang's dishes, and every time they saw the guests tasting them, they would drool along with them.
Today, they were finally able to taste Chef Jiang's cooking in person, and they were naturally extremely excited.
After taking a bite, his expression was incredibly exaggerated; he yelled and screamed:
"My goodness! This is so delicious! It's like food for gods..."
As expected of Chef Jiang's skills, they truly live up to their reputation and perfectly reflect Jiang Yuerong's status in their hearts.
At this moment, they were extremely jealous of the previous taste test guests and TV station staff.
I heard that Jiang Yuerong always shares the leftover food with the staff after she finishes a show.
The thought of being able to enjoy such delicious food every time filled these citizens with envy.
Meanwhile, the staff in the audience were stunned, as things had developed far beyond their expectations.
This woman, whom they considered a master of deception, was a con artist and a fake chef.
Not only was he not exposed, but he also received praise from Chef Qi Yuanlin.
They even insisted on recognizing each other as relatives on the spot.
This dramatic scene left them both dumbfounded and utterly baffled.
How did Jiang Yuerong manage to deceive Grandpa Qi Yuanlin?
Is the old man getting old, his eyesight failing, his mind becoming muddled, and even his sense of taste becoming confused?
They didn't believe that Jiang Yuerong's squirrel-shaped mandarin fish could taste that good.
On the contrary, I was deeply impressed when I saw that the old man did not vomit on the spot.
As expected of a highly respected senior, his composure and demeanor are truly extraordinary.
Even his comment to the host, "Good, excellent," was unanimously interpreted as sarcastic remark born of extreme anger.
But then they saw the notoriously sharp-tongued old diner, Mr. Diao, eating with gusto, one bite after another, making them drool uncontrollably.
The subsequent family reunion segment, where Grandpa Qi forced Lin Wan, a rising star in the culinary world, to call Jiang Yuerong her "uncle-master" on the spot, left them speechless.
After realizing what had happened, they were all speechless with astonishment.
They turned their heads and looked at the familiar-looking, beautiful fake chef Jiang Yuerong with surprise and shock.
Has this person finally figured it out? That's why their cooking skills have improved so much.
The little girl, holding chopsticks, couldn't squeeze to the front and was so anxious she kept pacing around in circles.
Finally, he climbed onto the table from the other end, grabbed his chopsticks, and started picking up the few remaining pieces of squirrel-shaped mandarin fish from the plate.
Then, he knelt on the table and ate heartily in front of the camera.
Several citizens and Old Man Diao took turns eating with their chopsticks.
Little Xiao got anxious and used her chubby little paws to grab the plate and hug it to her chest.
Old Master Diao got angry and shouted:
"Little girl, this fish has bones, children can't eat it!"
"You old rascal, I'm not falling for that."
Xiaoxiao is a foodie, how could she not know?
After she finished speaking, she moved her small mouth and quickly spat out a few thin fish bones.
"Ha ha…!"
The citizens and guests laughed, while Old Master Diao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
Jiang Yuerong reluctantly agreed under her earnest request.
After years of scheming and backstabbing in television and society, she's figured it out.
The little girl made up a story on the spot, and the old man rushed to claim kinship with her.
It's obvious they have ulterior motives, considering the current situation.
He, a self-taught chef, fairly defeated Lin Wan, a rising star from a prestigious family, in front of the camera.
Isn't this a slap in the face for Qi Yuanlin?
As long as the family reunion is successful, it will be a competition among fellow disciples. Whoever wins or loses will not cause any harm.
But will this do her any harm?
There are some advantages, of course, but the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.
Anyone who wants to gain fame by stepping on Qi Laishun will have to think twice once they get involved with her.
This not only solidified his position but also prevented his peers from slandering him.
Therefore, she agreed, but also indicated that this was the only dish she could be proud of, and the others were just so-so.
When Qi Yuanlin politely asked her the secret to making squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, Jiang Yuerong smiled guiltily and gave a perfunctory answer:
"No, there's no secret, it's all about feeling."
Just when she thought the other person would definitely believe she was lying, Qi Yuanlin sighed instead:
"It's exactly what the old man said back then, but unfortunately, I didn't understand it."
Lin Wan, still unconvinced, tasted the last piece of Jiang Yuerong's squirrel-shaped mandarin fish and looked extremely surprised.
Afterwards, both confused and resentful, she went to her master and asked:
"Since she received guidance from the advisor, why did she follow the steps and techniques for cooking?"
Is it different from what has been passed down in the sect?
Moreover, it looks like a complete mess, so why does it taste better than mine?
The master sighed and slowly said:
"At first glance, it seems non-compliant and a complete mess."
But she was able to precisely control the cooking time of each ingredient and combine them perfectly.
This is what our ancestors meant by being exceptionally gifted, a gift from heaven.
There's nothing we can do about being jealous.
Lin Wan was greatly disappointed after hearing this, and then she remembered that she had mistakenly believed the rumors and rashly went on stage to challenge them.
It turns out that the clown was himself from beginning to end.
