Chapter 239: Contempt for Wang Jianye, Competition
When everyone heard Wang Jianye say that he could cook the dish "Lohandu", they were stunned.

Wang Jianye said again, "Master Cheng, I can cook this dish."

"I can cook this dish, but it's not enough to just know how to cook it, I have to cook it very well." Master Cheng looked at him and said, "Master Luo used to cook this dish here, but Master Luo couldn't come today. Maybe something unexpected happened. I can only ask Master Qian for help, because besides Master Luo, Master Qian is the best cook here. Master Wang, I know you want to help, but I have Master Qian now, so I don't need you for the time being."

"OK then."

Wang Jianye did not force it anymore.

He just wanted to find an opportunity to show himself today, because the people attending this banquet were all important figures from all walks of life.

There is a chance that the dishes cooked by Wang Jianye will have special effects, such as adding one day to lifespan, one point to IQ, one pound to strength, and one minute to concentration time.

If Wang Jianye can cook a few more dishes, then he may be able to trigger a few more dishes to have special effects.

In this way, important figures from all walks of life will gain these bonuses after eating the dishes with special effects made by Wang Jianye. It can be regarded as Wang Jianye's contribution to this society within his ability.

Although Master Cheng wanted Master Qian to cook this dish, Master Qian had a bad temper and held a grudge. When he saw Wang Jianye, he remembered what happened in the morning and said to Master Cheng in a somewhat dissatisfied tone, "Master Cheng, why don't you let him try? Maybe he can cook better than me."

"How is that possible? Master Qian, don't be angry. I still have to rely on you this time."

Master Cheng persuaded him in a gentle manner, which made Master Qian feel much better. However, he wanted to see how well Wang Jianye could cook this dish, and he even dared to say that he could also cook this dish to help out.

"Let Master Wang try. I'll make one dish if he makes one. Then everyone can taste our dishes and see who cooks better. That person will get to cook the dish. It's fair competition. Master Cheng, what do you think?"

Seeing that Master Qian was determined to do so, Master Cheng had no choice but to look at Wang Jianye, "Master Wang, do you really want to compete with Master Qian?"

“It’s a rare opportunity to compete with a master chef like Master Qian. I must cherish this opportunity and perform well to compete with Master Qian. Of course, Master Qian has been cooking for longer than I have and has much more experience than I do. It’s not shameful even if I lose to him.” Wang Jianye smiled harmlessly.

In other words, if Master Qian beat Wang Jianye, he would not show up, but if he lost to Wang Jianye, it would be too embarrassing.

But Master Qian didn't think he had any chance of losing. He just wanted to teach Wang Jianye a lesson, to let him know how to respect his seniors and know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. "Well, I want to see how well you can cook this dish."

Several masters nearby heard the noise and gathered over to watch the fun.

"Old Cheng, what's going on?"

Master Cheng explained the situation to them in detail.

These people couldn't help but start talking.

"What is Master Qian thinking? He actually wants to bully the weak."

"What's that? Master Qian has a hot temper and he won't give up until he figures out who's superior and who's inferior. I'm afraid this young man is going to fall this time."

"Why would you want to compete with Master Qian on this dish? Master Qian can cook this dish very well. It's his specialty. This young man definitely can't compare."

"Let alone this young man, even the tripe dish we make is not as good as Master Qian's."

"Yes, this young man is doomed to fail."

"With Master Qian's temper, he would definitely ridicule this young man after he beat him, making him lose face. Sigh." "This young man is still not steady enough. He wanted to compete with Master Qian after being provoked by him. But this time, Master Qian taught him a lesson and he will remember it. He will not be so impulsive next time."

"..."

Many state banquet chefs were not optimistic about Wang Jianye. After all, Wang Jianye was too young. He was only twenty-one years old and had been an apprentice for three years.

Being a chef requires not only talent, but also a lot of time to practice and study.

The young man in front of him was obviously a person with great talent but not much time to practice. He had never fallen, so he thought he was invincible and no worse than anyone else. But in fact, compared with the real experienced masters, he was still far behind.

"Master Qian, let's get started now. You make a Luohan tripe, and I make a Luohan tripe. Then, Master Cheng will be the judge, and we'll ask all the masters present to give their comments. How do you think?"

Wang Jianye looked at Master Qian and spoke.

Master Qian simply ignored him and went to the stove to prepare the ingredients for the dish Luohandu.

Seeing this, Wang Jianye came to his stove and ordered the system in his mind, "Use the recipe to learn how to make Luohandu, and then upgrade this dish to the legendary level!"

[Ding, the recipe was used successfully. Congratulations to the host for mastering Luohandu (entry level 1+)]

[Ding, Luohan Belly (entry level 1+) has spent 999 experience points to upgrade successfully. Congratulations to the host for mastering Luohan Belly (legendary level 1000+). ]

[Ding, get a recipe. ]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the probability of triggering special effects. The number of times can be increased by +1]

As system prompts sounded in his mind, Wang Jianye instantly mastered the dish of Luohandu and elevated it to a legendary level.

Even if Master Qian makes this dish the best he can, it can only be at the state banquet level at best, and it will never reach the legendary level.

This time Wang Jianye will definitely defeat him, and Wang Jianye is full of confidence.

But in the eyes of many state banquet chefs who were watching, Wang Jianye was in a daze just now, and it must be because he didn't know how to start.

"Could it be that this young man has never cooked a dish before?"

"I should have done it before, but I'm not very skilled. Now I have to compare myself with Master Qian, so I'm nervous and don't know how to start."

"It's better to just admit defeat and stop wasting the food here. This will also save some food for the country."

"That's right. This young man is unskilled but still insists on cooking. Such good ingredients will definitely be ruined and wasted. What a pity."

"..."

In front of another stove, Chef Qian, who was busy making this dish, heard everyone's discussion and his mood became very good. He thought that the young man was ignorant and wanted to compare himself with him, so he would teach him a good lesson.

Master Qian was thinking in his mind, but his hands did not stop moving, he was still making the Luohan Tripe seriously. He wanted to make this dish and let this young man know that age is still wise.
