The Cheat Emperor of the Culinary World

Bo Ming finished explaining the rules of the event, and the next moment, the number of his followers skyrocketed.

Many passerby fans who just came to join in on the fun added Bo Ming’s account to follow him for a chance to win prizes.

The leaders of the company affiliated with Bo Ming’s studio were grinning from ear to ear.

Bo Ming’s public relations skills were both unexpected and totally fitting.

Feng Xiaoxiao and Brother Hua were utterly amazed, absolutely impressed by Bo Ming.

This guy’s ability to attract fans was something else.

Originally, they were riding on Bo Ming’s fame to boost their own traffic, but in the end, their fans were lured over to his side instead. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

But luckily, those fans often jumped around anyway, so following one more influencer didn’t really affect them.

Especially since Bo Ming was focused on selling goods, there was no conflict of interest with them.

The live stream room was buzzing, starting a fan-attracting activity.

The grilling sections of each restaurant were still busy cooking.

Luo Rang sent a voice message in the group chat: [Our restaurant’s delivery has already been sent out, but the staff receiving it said they had to wait for the others before they could start the review. In this way, the ones who deliver first are at a disadvantage, but thankfully, we’re using insulated boxes, so a delay of ten or twenty minutes won’t have much impact...]

At this point, the grilling technique and choice of ingredients became the display of every chef’s skill!

Takeout isn’t like dining in, where it’s served fresh out of the pot.

No matter how delicious the dish, if it gets cold or is kept warm for too long, it will somewhat affect the taste.

So when chefs receive takeout orders, they pay special attention to the fire control and seasoning.

On the delivery side, there are strict time requirements from the restaurant, and they even implement reward and penalty systems to motivate delivery personnel to deliver the takeout promptly.

Every restaurant is well aware of their own barbecue chef’s skills, and have a decent estimation regarding this barbecue review.

Take Luo Rang, for example. Even though he boasts confidently in the group chat in front of outsiders, claiming various advantages of his restaurant without any worries.

But in truth, he’s already panicking inside.

He feels his restaurant’s barbecue can maybe rank fifth or sixth among the restaurants, and wouldn’t dare think about the top three.

But as the head chef of the Four Seas Banquet, can he actually say that?

No way!

He definitely can’t put down his own store’s confidence in front of outsiders.

However, the reality of his store’s capability is right before his eyes, and even if he wanted to brag, he wouldn’t dare!

After all, aside from places like Qianlima, the other establishments are professional barbecue joints.

These are businesses with decades of experience.

The skills of their chefs have been honed for decades, which isn’t something they, as latecomers, can compare to.

Other chefs from the restaurants in the group chat also expressed quite confidently about their own places, saying that even if they can’t clinch first place in this review, securing a third or second spot is achievable.

Luo Rang was a bit awkward.

How should he respond to that?

Barbecue, like all other cooking skills, involves not just ingredients, but creativity, though the most crucial aspects are the chef’s skill and sauce recipe.

Although the Four Seas Banquet’s sauce recipe isn’t some ancestral secret or a mysterious sauce from who knows where,

Luo Rang feels that in terms of uniqueness, their restaurant still holds something of an advantage.

Barbecue is a common affair, but barbecuing lamb spine is not something people have often.

The tender lamb meat is grilled to a crispy outside and a tender inside, served on the bone, offering an excellent taste experience.

Luo Rang believes that just the quality of the lamb spine in their restaurant, even if grilled with nothing on it and dipped in leek flower afterward, would make one’s mouth water.

Yao Shi watched a few people in the chat having a lively discussion, and couldn’t help but glance towards the grilling area, suddenly curious about how Fu Yu would handle the grilling.

Thinking about it, Yao Shi smiled to himself and shook his head.

Just born with a worrying mind!

Fu Yu has become quite skilled now, and only by going through experiences like this can he truly grow.

Opportunities like these are rare and hard to come by.

Yao Shi sighed, realizing he was too eager.

Young people need more experiences to fully develop!

And in Yao Shi’s estimation, Fu Yu’s future, at the very least, should reach the same level as himself and Zhang Zhiyuan, and with effort, might even become a master like Dai Jinghe.

In a small city like Bei’an, there’s no way it can keep him!

"Oh my gosh! Chef Fu, which restaurant do you think has attracted the most bets?"

Zhang Jinyu took a moment during his busy schedule to follow Bo Ming’s account and first bet on Qianlima, then gossiped with Fu Yu.

"Fu Yu thought for a moment and named an old barbecue restaurant."

Zhao Meng had once taken him there to eat, and the barbecue was indeed delicious with a distinctive flavor.

However, at the time, there were so many diners that the barbecue chef seemed a bit rushed, and the heat was on the high side.

But this small flaw didn’t affect the overall dining experience; their place was definitely worth trying.

Zhang Jinyu looked impressed and said, "That’s right!"

"But Chef Fu, these people come from all over, and most of them haven’t tried these restaurants’ food. Aren’t they just randomly betting, taking chances?"
