The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 654 - 651: Signature Dish
The Ultimate Lingxiu Buns priced at one silver each can hardly be considered true Spiritual Food.
"This..."
Master Ji hesitated slightly and looked at Xin Lin.
What is the signature dish of Chu’s Restaurant?
A Spirit Food Restaurant without a signature specialty dish really is somewhat inexcusable.
However, Master Ji could not report his own specialty dish.
"Who says Chu’s Restaurant doesn’t have a signature spirit dish? Little Boss’s Braised Pork Belly is delicious, comparable to any spirit dish from any other Spirit Food Restaurant!"
Ma Jingtian, standing nearby, couldn’t contain his dissatisfaction and grumbled.
"Braised Pork Belly? You’re not telling me it’s just braised pork, are you? Do you think any random dish can qualify as spirit food? Let me tell you the truth, the main spirit dishes recognized by the Spirit Food Association must be approved by ten restaurant owners from the association to become a signature dish, and this applies to every Spirit Food Restaurant. Plus, this signature dish cannot be the same as any signature dish from the hundred Spirit Food Restaurants within Purple Cloud City. The Braised Pork Belly you’re talking about? There’re not a hundred Spirit Food Restaurants that can make it, but surely ninety."
Master Chen said disdainfully.
Ma Jingtian, seeking support, looked at Master Ji, and even Master Ji nodded in agreement.
"Chu’s Restaurant wants to be recognized again, but simply having Master Ji join is not enough. It must also have a signature dish, and unfortunately, Chu’s Restaurant is undeniably unable to do so. Therefore, its closure is unquestionably justified."
Master Chen said with a mocking sneer.
"Hold on, if I can make a Braised Pork Belly that is different from all other Spirit Food Restaurants, then could it qualify as Chu’s Restaurant’s signature dish, and could Chu’s Restaurant then obtain legal recognition?"
Xin Lin, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stepped forward, interrupting Master Chen.
"Such grandiose claims. This dish, I suppose, would have to be made by Master Ji personally?"
Master Chen glanced at Master Ji.
Although Master Ji appeared to be able to move freely, his pale complexion and the dark shadows under his eyes visible with a tinge of blue clearly indicated he was still not capable of cooking Spiritual Food.
But if not him, then Chu’s Restaurant was likely doomed...
"Of course, it’s me..."
Master Ji clenched his teeth, about to take action.
"There is no need to use a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken. Master Ji doesn’t need to cook such a Braised Pork Belly. Master Ji will supervise, and I will prepare this Spirit Delicacy."
Xin Lin declared decisively.
"Fine, as you wish. I’ll summon a few restaurant owners to come and see how you’re going to make a Braised Pork Belly that can compare to a One-star Spiritual Delicacy."
Master Chen also had a look of anticipation for a good show and immediately found someone to spread the word.
By the afternoon, eight restaurant owners from the city had gradually arrived at De Yue Building.
"To ensure fairness, I will have the assistant chefs of De Yue Building also make a Braised Pork Belly, and then we will present both dishes together. Master Ji, myself, and the eight restaurant owners will judge and determine which one is more delicious."
Master Chen declared with an expression of uprightness.
Xin Lin said nothing more and went into the kitchen of De Yue Building.
The last time, the kitchen at De Yue Building was blasted into a mess by an Overlord Egg, but after refurbishment, it was completely renewed.
De Yue Building was indeed the city’s top Great Spirit Restaurant.
This kitchen was more than twice as spacious as the kitchen of Taoyao Pavilion, not only equipped with the usual ingredients but also stocked with some fresh produce.
Even the stove array included more than a dozen stations for various cooking techniques.
Xin Lin was going to make Feng Xi Braised Pork Belly using just pork. She looked around the kitchen, picked out a few excellent pieces of pork belly, while the assistant chefs of De Yue Building took out the "pork" that had been prepared earlier.
