Chapter 374 - Everyone Was Shocked Each with Their Own Views
After seeing Xue Zixi out, Jiang Hao settled onto the sofa with a wry smile.
“A culinary duel?”
“Merely child's play!”
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Xue Zixi couldn't wait to share the news with her father—Xue Zhengying.
Xue Zhengying was pleasantly surprised, finding a silver lining when he least expected it!
Overjoyed, Xue Guangying used the news to temporarily appease the uncertain members of the clan.
Of course, Xue Zixi's second uncle, Second Master Xue—Xue Zhengxiong—was also in the loop.
In a villa, Xue faced the elder seated across from him and said with a grin,
“Wu Shi, believe it or not, that up-and-comer has agreed to challenge you in a culinary showdown!”
“And he's scheduled it for tomorrow morning, no less!”
”Ha! This rookie really doesn't know the meaning of fear.”
Across from him, the white-bearded old man let out a light laugh.
“Ignorance is indeed bliss.”
“My caution has allowed me to collect the knives of eight master chefs and has brought me to where I am today.”
“Tomorrow, I'll claim another Grandmaster's knife, completing my set of nine.”
“Then, I shall be the undisputed number one Grandmaster in the culinary world!”
”Wu Yong was brimming with confidence, unaware that Jiang Hao barely gave him a second thought.
Before long, the elite families of Tianhee City had all received their invitations.
The news of a duel between two culinary Grandmasters sent shockwaves through the community, and excitement was in the air!
Simultaneously, Jia Renjie learned of Jiang Hao's impending chef battle.
He quickly gathered information on Jiang Hao's opponent, Wu Shi, and sent it over.
Meanwhile, at the Song estate,
Soong Wanzhong lay on a lounge chair in the gazebo, engrossed in a book. Nearby,
He Yuxin, Soong Wan, and her daughter, along with Feng Nichang and Aunt Hong, were deep in animated conversation, seemingly in their own little world.
Just then, Uncle Hai approached.
“Sir, the Xue family has just delivered this invitation.”
“Tomorrow, Mr. Jiang is set to face off in a culinary duel with Wu Yongzhan, the esteemed Grandmaster chef from Heavenly-Mansion Tavern!”
Soong Wanzhong's curiosity was instantly ignited upon hearing this. He set aside the book he was holding and eagerly accepted the invitation from Uncle Hai.
After perusing the invite, a chuckle escaped Soong Wanzhong before he mused with evident interest, “Da Hai, who's your pick to win?”
Uncle Hai pondered for a moment before replying, “I'm not familiar with Wu Yong's cooking prowess.”
“However, Mr. Jiang, despite his youth, has attained the rank of a Grandmaster chef. His skills are truly enigmatic!”
“I'm convinced Mr. Jiang will come out on top!”
Soong Wanzhong burst into hearty laughter at the response.
“Haha… Indeed!”
”Jiang Hao is an enigma!”
“For Wu Yong, this is tantamount to digging his own grave!”
The mere thought of Jiang Hao's piercing gaze sent shivers down Soong Wanzhong's spine.
Their exchange was openly conducted, allowing Soong Wan and the others to catch every word.
Soong Wan, anxious, quickly pressed her father for details, “Dad, are you saying Brother Hao is entering a chef's battle?”
Without any attempt to conceal the matter, Soong Wanzhong passed the invitation to her, confirming, “Yes, that's right!”
”And he's up against the veteran Grandmaster chef from Heavenly-Mansion Tavern!”
“Take a look; this is the invitation sent by the Xue family.”
The news took everyone by surprise.
As Soong Wan examined the invitation, worry washed over her, “What are we going to do?”
Soong Wanzhong's heart twinged at his daughter's distress, gently chiding, “Oh, you!”
”Perhaps it's the Wu Grandmaster you should be concerned for!”
Uncle Hai offered words of comfort as well, “Miss, rest assured. Mr. Jiang is not only a Grandmaster chef, but his culinary mastery is also inscrutable. There's no need to fret!”
Meanwhile, Feng Nichang felt a jolt of surprise, “The enigmatic Jiang Hao is a Grandmaster chef?”
