The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 802 - 800: Three-star Spiritual Delicacy Master
Master Chen brought a group of Martial Artist-looking thugs, along with some Spiritual Cuisine Masters from the Spiritual Cuisine Master Association, looking aggressive, blocking the entrance of the Taoyao Pavilion.
"I’ve said it several times, not selling means not selling. The Taoyao Pavilion has been operating for over twenty years, and just this land is worth no less than 200,000 taels."
The usually amiable owner was also clearly displeased.
Ever since Master Ji passed away, Master Chen has been eyeing the Taoyao Pavilion covetously.
"If you won’t sell, then we’ll remove the Spiritual Food Restaurant’s sign. In your building, two head chefs have died one after another, clearly under a curse. I want to see who would still dare to come to the Taoyao Pavilion!"
Master Chen sneered.
Although De Yue Building’s reputation is bigger than Taoyao Pavilion, the Taoyao Pavilion, being both a brothel and a Spiritual Food Restaurant, actually profits more each year than De Yue Building, which made Master Chen very envious.
A few years ago, because of that old fellow Ji Lan holding the fort, Master Chen had no methods to make a move.
Finally, after Taoyao Pavilion had no decent Spiritual Cuisine Master left, Master Chen immediately rushed over.
The owner was looking very upset.
In a month’s time, they had lost two head chefs.
There were indeed rumors in Purple Cloud City saying that the Taoyao Pavilion was jinxed, whoever associated with it was bound for misfortune.
The job advertisement had been posted for half a day, offering high pay, yet not a single qualified Spiritual Cuisine Master had shown up.
Without a Spiritual Cuisine Master, the Taoyao Pavilion couldn’t operate normally tonight.
The owner was at a loss, not realizing that Master Chen would come knocking.
"Who says no one would apply."
Just as the owner’s expression was troubled, Xin Lin walked in with Chu Beiqing.
"It’s you again. Just a mere assistant chef, you have no business with affairs of Taoyao Pavilion."
Master Chen, upon seeing Xin Lin, flared up with anger.
"I own half of Taoyao Pavilion, so why shouldn’t I have a say? Starting today, I am the head chef of Taoyao Pavilion."
Xin Lin declared loudly.
Master Chen was initially stunned, then he and his thick-skinned thugs burst into laughter.
"You’re joking? Who do you think you are as head chef? A dignified Four-star Spiritual Food Restaurant like Taoyao Pavilion reduced to having an assistant chef as its head chef? If word gets out, Taoyao Pavilion might find it hard to even open its doors."
"Xin Lin, I appreciate your kindness, but as head chef..."
The owner smiled bitterly.
The owner had personally witnessed Xin Lin’s cooking skills and had no doubt about them.
The Fire Emperor Auspicious Soup she made last night had received praise from the Young Prince Tu and Grand Doctor Chu.
But she wasn’t a Spiritual Cuisine Master, without the qualifications, how could she be the head chef?
"Open your dog’s eyes wide and see clearly if I’m qualified to be head chef."
Xin Lin said, tossing a decree to Master Chen.
The decree had several lines written clearly.
"By the Will of Heaven, Emperor Longteng decrees, Xin Lin of the Chu family, with outstanding talent and culinary skills. I hereby appoint her as a Three-star Spirit Chef to host my fortieth birthday banquet."
The decree’s every word left Master Chen utterly dumbfounded.
A Three-star Spirit Chef endorsed by His Majesty?
Since when could a Spiritual Chef be bestowed by the emperor?
Even if given a few more guts, Master Chen wouldn’t dare question Emperor Longteng’s decree?
Emperor Longteng said Xin Lin is a Three-star Spirit Chef, so she must be a Three-star Spirit Chef, whether or not she actually is!
Master Chen opened his mouth, struggling for half a day before squeezing out a sentence.
"So what if you’re a Spiritual Chef, but you’re only a Three-star Spirit Chef, not qualified to be the head chef of the Four-star Spiritual Food Restaurant Taoyao Pavilion!"
