Chapter 378 - The Reincarnation of the Master Chef the Eighteenyearold Grandmaster
Next up was Jiang Hao's turn to introduce himself.
The crowd was visibly stunned upon seeing Jiang Hao, so even in disbelief.
“He's a Grandmaster of the culinary arts?”
“Isn't he awfully young?”
……
A buzz of chatter filled the room.
Jiang Hao surveyed the audience, noting that in addition to his family, acquaintances like Xue Zixi, Jia Renjie, and Soong Wanzhong were in attendance. To his surprise, Feng Nichang and Aunt Hong were also seated beside Soong Wanzhong's family.
Without overthinking it, Jiang Hao introduced himself with a calm deanor.
“My na is Jiang Hao, 18 years old. I don't have a culinary ntor, but if pressed, I'd say I am the ntor: the Master Chef!”
“I've been involved in the culinary world for less than a year, I suppose?”
“Now, I guess you could call a Grandmaster.”
“That's about it.”
With those few words, Jiang Hao sent a tidal wave of astonishnt crashing through the minds of everyone present.
“Hiss~”
The crowd involuntarily gasped.
“Holy… Wow, 18 years old, self-taught, and he's achieved Grandmaster status in less than a year?”
“Could he be the reincarnation of a Culinary God?”
……
The exclamations were endless.
Even Soong Wanzhong and others were taken aback.
They knew Jiang Hao was a culinary Grandmaster, but they had no idea he'd been at it for less than a year!
Feng Nichang was profoundly shaken. With his imnse spiritual force, his daunting gaze, and exceptional zither skills, Jiang Hao's culinary talent was truly without precedent.
Who could have nurtured such an extraordinary prodigy?
Yet at that mont, so faces turned sour, to say the least.
Take Xue Masao and Wu Shi, who had just been boasting. They glared at Jiang Hao, their expressions dark as thunder.
An 18-year-old culinary Grandmaster!
It was a claim so outrageous, it strained credibility.
And to think, this individual had imrsed himself in the culinary arts for less than a year, all self-taught!
The once brimming confidence of these two had plumted to rock bottom.
In stark contrast, Xue Zhenying and Xue Zixi were brimming with ecstatic joy!
Suddenly, the crowd underground was divided into two camps: one backing Wu Shi, renowned for his impressive combat achievents, and the other rallying behind Jiang Hao, the prodigious talent of the culinary world.
Promptly, as orchestrated by the host, both contenders comnced their ingredient selection. Jiang Hao, with a nonchalant deanor, leisurely chose his ingredients, while Wu Shi appeared intensely focused.
Before long, twenty minutes had elapsed, and the culinary battle was underway!
With the host's announcent of the rules, the first challenge kicked off with stir-frying. Jiang Hao opted for cabbage.
With his exceptional knife skills, Jiang Hao deftly sliced the cabbage into uniform strands, each about five milliters in width. He then ignited the fla, added a drop of oil, and stirred in a spoonful of sugar. As the oil reached a perfect hue, he swiftly tossed in the cabbage.
Within three short minutes, Jiang Hao was already adding a variety of seasonings. A few more stirs and a rich aroma wafted through the air.
The dish was quickly ready to serve. Observing the uniformly pale yellow cabbage, Jiang Hao allowed himself a contented smile. “Fragrance 5!” That was the attribute of his creation.
Jiang Hao then casually rang the bell, prompting the host to broadcast the news to the audience.
”Grandmaster Jiang's first dish completed in just 4 minutes and 49 seconds!” announced the host, sparking a buzz among the spectators.
”That quick?”
“Wow, truly the mark of a culinary genius!”
Xue Masao was inwardly frantic, yet he maintained a facade of composure. He wasn't about to miss an opportunity to needle his rival, either.
Feigning ease, he remarked loudly to those nearby, “Youth does co with impatience. In the pursuit of speed, he seems to have overlooked the true essence of the culinary arts!”
