2604 Gathering of talents
Yu daoyi was really good at making a zither, and he was really noble. If he was in a bad mood and someone came to ask for a zither, he would rather leave it there than sell it. It could be said that he was quite willful.
Naturally, Yu daoyi wasn’t very well-off, and the child Daoist was also relatively poor. Now that Yu daoyi had realized that there were different levels of food, it was only natural that his living conditions would improve.
Although Yu daoyi often asked the child Daoist to practice the unique skill of snatching dishes, his life had changed a lot compared to his previous life. At least he had meat to eat and the child Daoist was very satisfied. He was also full of gratitude to Yuan Zhou who made all this happen and gave him more than one good person card.
“It’s time for breakfast. The first 18 customers, please come in for your meal. “
Su Ruoyan’s words were like music from a high mountain, immediately grabbing onto Yu daoyi’s ears. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he was clearly in a good mood.
When they entered the shop, they were very happy to see soy milk and fried pancakes. They couldn’t help drooling when they smelled the rich bean fragrance. One could imagine what would happen next.
While Yu daoyi was immersed in the temptation of delicious food, scholar Liao, Liao wenkai, who was mentioned by Yu daoyi earlier, had already boarded the plane from Heron Island Airport and was flying towards Chengdu. He should be in Chengdu’s airspace by now.
“I don’t know if that old daoyi is lying to me or not. Did head chef Yuan really make a vegetarian dish? if not, I’ll just smash that old daoyi’s treasured zither.” Liao wenkai muttered.
Don’t look at Liao wenkai’s name, which was still considered refined, but in fact, he himself did not match this refined at all. It could be said that they were completely opposite.
That huge body did not look refined at all. Moreover, it was said that nine out of ten chefs were fat, and one of them was especially fat, and Liao wenkai was that fat one.
This common sense was definitely not reliable when used on Yuan Zhou. After all, he was not human and thus couldn’t be compared with ordinary people.
Liao wenkai was the current head chef of South Putuo Temple who specialized in cooking vegetarian dishes. His cooking skills were absolutely superb. Even if it was just a bland vegetable dish, wild vegetables could be fresh and crisp in his hands. There was no trace of meat, but it made people feel that it was very delicious.
Although Liao wenkai had a huge body, he was very meticulous. He devoted himself to studying cooking and creating new dishes. The year before last, he developed a dish called falling flower season, which was rated as the most popular vegetable dish in recent years. Almost every tourist who went to the South Putuo Temple would want to try it. One could imagine the popularity of this dish.
It was even rare for Liao wenkai to participate in some large-scale vegetable exchange activities. If Yu daoyi hadn’t mentioned that Yuan Zhou had served new vegetable dishes, he wouldn’t have moved away.
Speaking of which, one of them was a Daoist chef while the other was a head chef from a sacred place of Buddhism. As for how they got together, it had to be said that Yuan Zhou was the one to blame.
After Yu daoyi ate Yuan Zhou’s vegetarian banquet, it was as if he had opened the door to a new world. He didn’t know that vegetarian dishes could be so delicious. In order to learn the skill of snatching dishes, Yu daoyi had traveled all over the world and had visited many famous mountains and ancient temples.
Every place they went, they needed to eat. As the saying goes, people are made of iron and rice are made of steel. If they didn’t eat, they would be hungry. They didn’t meet many experts, but they still ate quite a lot.
Most of them were just edible. Having tasted the delicacies cooked by Yuan Zhou, Yu daoyi naturally complained a lot about the vegetarian dishes cooked by other people. However, he also had a good habit of not wasting food. Therefore, even if they were not delicious, he would still eat them up.
When he arrived at the South Putuo Temple, he finally found a slightly flavorful vegetable dish. Although it couldn’t be compared to Yuan Zhou ‘s, it was still very good compared to the vegetable dishes in other places. Therefore, Yu daoyi lingered there.
Naturally, there was another important reason. Liao wenkai was also an expert at eating. When Yu daoyi first saw him by chance, he was shocked.
Ever since he fought with Wu Hai and Mao Xiong for supremacy, Yu daoyi’s horizons had been broadened. He had never thought that sometimes, there were really experts among the common folk. The preliminary estimation of Liao wenkai’s strength was no weaker than his own.
Other than being interested in cooking and studying vegetarian dishes, Liao wenkai wasn’t interested in anything else. His eating speed and techniques were all practiced because he wanted to save time to study cooking skills, so it was definitely a great skill that seemed clumsy.
In the end, the impatient Yu daoyi spent a month talking to Liao wenkai. He tried it once during a meal, but he really couldn’t beat him with his unique skill, which made him depressed.
In the past, he felt that he was the only one in the world of good-for-nothing apart from Mao Xiong and Wu Hai. However, in reality, a younger brother was still a younger brother. He might not even be the elder one but the younger one.
This was especially so for his unwillingness to give up. After Yu daoyi, he had fought a few more times without leaving a trace, but he had lost miserably every time. There was even one time when Liao wenkai seemed to have gotten some inspiration in the middle and was in a hurry to cook. His speed even increased to a new level, suppressing Yu daoyi to the point where he couldn’t breathe.
At this point, Yu daoyi knew that he couldn’t beat Liao wenkai since his big move didn’t work. He didn’t know if Wu Hai and hairy bear could beat him. Thinking of this, he really wanted to see the two of them fight. It seemed that he couldn’t beat Liao wenkai, so other than working hard, he also wanted to find out the opponent for him.
The problem was that it was impossible for Wu Hai to leave Chengdu and come here to eat. As for Liao wenkai, he had no interest in snatching dishes and being a good-for-nothing.
This made it difficult to put the two sides together, but sometimes people had a rebellious mind, and they really couldn’t do anything. They would try to do everything they could. Yu daoyi was in that kind of situation, but he couldn’t come up with a good idea even after thinking hard and racking his brains.
At that time, Yuan Zhou’s pillow arrived. He had received the news that Yuan Zhou was going to serve new Fujian cuisine.
As a person who knew Yuan Zhou well, he naturally knew that as long as Yuan Zhou served a new cuisine, all the dishes of that cuisine would be served. In addition, his old friend Zhou Shijie called him to ask if he was going to go to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant to try the nanputuo vegetable dish.
Although he didn’t know why Zhou Shijie called him and invited him to dinner, he knew that he would deal with it when the situation arose. The boat would cross the bridge when it came to it. The most important thing was that he knew how to let Liao wenkai go to Chengdu to have a face-to-face competition with Wu Hai and the others.
Yu daoyi had definitely put in a lot of effort in order to watch the most powerful competition in the world of good-for-nothing.
However, Yu daoyi was still cautious. He didn’t directly say that Yuan Zhou had nanputuo vegetarian dishes. Instead, he said that Yuan Zhou had served a new vegetable dish. It wasn’t a vegetarian banquet, but a vegetable dish that could be served in line every day.
Even though Liao wenkai had been engrossed in practicing his culinary skills, he had still heard of Yuan Zhou’s name before. It could be said that he had always been very curious about Yuan Zhou. Therefore, this time, he was quite tempted.
In addition, Yu daoyi used his silver tongue to boast about all kinds of vegetarian dishes, and just listening to it felt very good, so he successfully persuaded Liao wenkai.
