At this moment, Uncle Luo finally woke up. He looked at Zhang Ze's dish and realized that it was just a simple stir-fried mutton!
"Let me see…onions…hmm? Only onions?"
"The seasonings are only salt, chili powder, and cumin powder?”
Uncle Luo didn't think much of it. He felt that this child was just trying to please the crowd. In fact, he only knew how to cook in such a crude way.
This kid was only able to get Little Miss's favor by accidentally using roasted meat to attract her attention. Coincidentally, Little Miss was also quite hungry, so she thought that Zhang Ze's roasted meat was the best.
After all, when a person was extremely hungry, even a bowl of white rice could taste delicious!
"…The third dish is ready!"
In less than ten minutes, Zhang Ze had already prepared three dishes and brought them to Old Master Gu and Gu Ling 'er.
Uncle Luo curiously went over to take a look, and his face instantly darkened.
"Stir-fried mutton, spinach, pig liver, tomato and egg soup?”
"What the hell is this!"
The surrounding people looked at each other and couldn't help but think, how could these three home-cooked dishes compare to the King Chef's national banquet-level dishes? Moreover, it was a big pot of food that was stir-fried with high heat within ten minutes?
Although it smelled good, it didn't seem presentable! When these three dishes were placed on the table, they could not be compared to the exquisite lotus steak at the side!
"Then I'll give you face and try it.”Mr. Gu held out his chopsticks to encourage the young man.
"Wait a moment, I'm still missing a serving of staple food!"
"You still need staple food?"
"Yes." Zhang Ze smiled and scooped a bowl of rice for Old Master Gu and Gu Ling 'er each. He gestured,"Please enjoy."
The two of them could not help but look down at the rice, then looked up at Zhang Ze. They thought in confusion, why did the agreed spar suddenly become a food show?
Moreover, this rice was completely scooped out of the big steamer in the shop. There was nothing special about it.
Uncle Luo felt a little uneasy because Zhang Ze had been calm from the beginning to the end. He didn't look like he was going to admit defeat.
However, these three dishes were just ordinary home-cooked dishes in Uncle Luo's eyes. There was no mystery at all!
"Hmm? It tastes good!" Old Mr. Gu picked up a piece of stir-fried mutton with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth to chew. He smiled and praised.
No one took his words to heart. They all thought that Old Master Gu was just trying to protect the young man's self-esteem and encourage him.
On the other side, Gu Ling 'er also picked up a piece of spinach and pig liver and put it into her mouth to taste. She thought for a while before saying,"I don't know why, but although the dishes that little brother made this time aren't as delicious as the barbecue last night, why do I feel even hungrier?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up the stir-fried mutton and ate it in one bite. She even ate a mouthful of rice and then picked up the bowl beside her to drink the tomato egg soup in large mouthfuls.
Old Mr. Gu's actions were exactly the same as Gu Ling 'er's. The two of them actually did not have the time to comment on the taste of these dishes and finished the big bowl of rice in one breath.
Uncle Luo then realized that Mr. Gu had only eaten three to four pieces of his lotus-flavored steak, which he had performed beyond his standard. He then turned around and picked up a big bowl of rice to eat Zhang Ze's dishes!
"Not bad!"
Old Mr. Gu finished the tomato and egg soup in one go and praised loudly,""I haven't eaten so happily in a long time! Although it was just the most ordinary and simple home-cooked dish, it was very satisfying with rice. It was impossible to stop eating!”
"Brat, get me another bowl of rice!”
Old Mr. Gu passed the bowl of rice to Zhang Ze with a radiant face. Zhang Ze also quickly scooped more rice for him.
"Hey? Why? Do you think I eat too much?" Old Mr. Gu looked at the bottom of the bowl with only a little rice and asked unhappily.
Zhang Ze smiled and said," It's nothing. I'm just worried that you'll accumulate food if you eat too much at once. 70% is just right!"”
"Haha, you brat!" Old Master Gu's mood immediately improved. He didn't insist anymore and finished the rest of the dishes with Gu Ling 'er.
"Burp ~" Gu Ling 'er rubbed her round belly with one hand and turned her head to burp. She seemed to realize that her behavior was not very elegant, so she quickly covered her mouth.
Turning around, Gu Ling 'er realized that Zhang Ze was looking at her with a funny expression. She couldn't help but puff up her cheeks."Little brother! You can't laugh at me ~ Seeing that I'm supporting you so much, why don't you make two more dishes for everyone to try!”
Zhang Ze nodded in agreement. He went into the kitchen and stir-fried the food again. Then, he walked out and prepared to share the food with everyone.
Uncle Luo couldn't believe that he had lost. He just stood there and muttered to himself,"How could this be…How could this be? My lotus steak actually lost?"
The surrounding people could not believe this result. After all, who would have thought that a mere handyman could defeat a chef king with three home-cooked dishes?!
Zhang Ze also walked to Uncle Luo's side. Seeing that his expression was not good, he left a dish."Uncle Luo, try it too."
Uncle Luo was very unhappy. He thought angrily, Does this kid think I won't admit it? Hmph, am I that kind of person?
As he thought about it, Uncle Luo picked up a piece of stir-fried mutton with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He couldn't wait to know what magic these dishes had to make Old Mr. Gu, who had a tricky taste, eat so sweetly.
As soon as the mutton entered his mouth, Uncle Luo was stunned on the spot. What kind of taste was this?
Juicy? Fresh and spicy? Crisp?
No, it wasn't just that.
It was more like the original taste of food!
The arrogance on Uncle Luo's face instantly disappeared without a trace. His trembling hands picked up another piece of spinach and pork liver and put it into his mouth. After chewing carefully, he finally understood the secret of Zhang Ze's cooking.
"Using the simplest method to bring out the most authentic taste of the ingredients, not to satisfy the tip of the tongue, but to make the entire body come alive!”
After coming to this shocking conclusion, Uncle Luo took a deep breath and lowered his head slightly to Zhang Ze."Little friend, I lost. Your cooking completely moved me!”
Everyone couldn't believe that the former Chef King had actually submitted to a young man. What kind of peerless delicacies were these three dishes?
" Qingsong, please explain to me why I couldn't help but eat so much of Zhang Ze's food even though I thought your food tasted better," said Mr. Gu with a smile.”
