Inside, there were both men and women, almost all foreigners, and Ma Long took a seat among the judges, being one of the few Chinese there.

Behind the judges sat quite a few people who, having finished their meals and having nothing else to do, suddenly stumbled upon such an interesting event, so they stayed to watch.

Huaxia people just love to watch the excitement. If one person is watching, then there will be two, and eventually, more and more people will gather, especially with an event as eye-catching as this one, which attracts even more attention.

At this moment, Zheng Feng explained the rules of the game, saying, "Earlier, I made a bet with this Mr. Ling. This wager is very interesting and actually revolves around this beautiful lady beside me.

If I win this competition, then Young Master Ling must stay away from Miss Cao in the future. If Young Master Ling wins, then I will bark like a dog in front of everyone."

Everyone listening was taken aback. This childish matter seemed like kids playing house, yet so many people were invited to judge, and it was made to resemble the final of a cooking championship. It's really amusing.

Some people, finding it boring, left, but many more found it intriguing, so they found a place to sit down and waited for the show to begin.

Zheng Feng continued, "We have one hour to make three dishes, and the winner will be decided by the support rate for the three dishes. At the same time, only one assistant is allowed, not more."

Zheng Feng glanced at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Mr. Ling, how do you feel about my words, is there any issue?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Not bad, quite good."

Zheng Feng smiled broadly and said, "No restrictions on ingredients, you can choose any ingredients. Now, let's begin."

After speaking, Zheng Feng casually walked to one of the cooking stations.

Ling Zhenfei also walked to his spot, and then he heard Zheng Feng say, "Mr. Ling, you can choose your assistant now."

Ling Zhenfei didn't know anyone here, so how was he supposed to choose an assistant?

At this moment, Cao Xueyi volunteered and walked up, saying, "I'll be your assistant."

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Alright, let's do it."

Cao Xueyi put on a chef's outfit, and Ling Zhenfei also changed, thinking about what dish to prepare.

Actually, when it came to cooking, Ling Zhenfei didn't take Zheng Feng seriously at all. His target was the Michelin judges.

Cao Xueyi whispered, "Why did you agree to Zheng Feng? This guy is just a shameless scoundrel and has too many tricks."

Ling Zhenfei also whispered, "Of course, my target isn't Zheng Feng. I haven't even considered Zheng Feng. My target is these Michelin judges.

Didn't you always say you wanted to achieve a Michelin-star restaurant? You have to leave some impression on them."

Cao Xueyi suddenly understood and said, "So that's why, you're really thoughtful."

At this point, Zheng Feng said, "Are you all ready? Then my assistant should arrive as well."

After he finished speaking, a person wearing a chef's uniform appeared, shocking the surrounding people.

Even Cao Xueyi was shocked and said to Ling Zhenfei, "He's cheating, he's cheating."

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Cao Xueyi replied, "This person is Gu Li, the head chef of the Spring Breeze Restaurant."

Ling Zhenfei looked at the man, and he seemed only in his thirties. To become the head chef of such a major restaurant at this age, it clearly showed his exceptional skills.

This man was aloof and somewhat arrogant, but indeed had reasons to be proud. Such a young head chef was rare in any restaurant.

No wonder Zheng Feng was so confident. Having the Spring Breeze Restaurant's head chef as an assistant, how could he possibly lose?

Ling Zhenfei truly didn't expect everything to go smoothly, but he had overlooked the assistant aspect.

This wasn't a competition between Ling Zhenfei and Zheng Feng at all; it was a contest between Ling Zhenfei and Gu Li, the head chef of Spring Breeze Restaurant.

Ma Long also laughed heartily and said to Gu Li, "Brother Gu Li, I always heard you were the head chef at Spring Breeze Restaurant. How come today you've become an assistant?"

Gu Li, who recognized Ma Long, smiled slightly and said, "In any case, it's all about cooking; it doesn't matter who is the head chef and who is the assistant."

That simple sentence was enough to reveal the issue. Competing with Ling Zhenfei in cooking was Gu Li's true intention. Zheng Feng was more cunning than expected.

"He's really cunning. I'd rather die than marry such a deceitful man," Cao Xueyi muttered nearby.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry, it's still uncertain who will win and who will lose."

At this moment, Gu Li glanced at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Kid, do you still think there's a need to continue?"

Gu Li spoke with such arrogance, not taking Ling Zhenfei seriously at all.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and replied, "Why not? Are you that formidable?"

At this moment, Ma Long reminded, "This Mr. Gu Li is a Michelin two-star chef, one of the few in the country."

Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly, "No wonder you're so confident. So you hold such a title. But it doesn't matter much. If you're really that amazing, you should be a Michelin three-star chef."

Hearing this, Gu Li's face showed a hint of anger as he said, "Fine, kid, let's wait and see."

Zheng Feng also said, "Exactly, why waste time, let's get started."

After saying this, the judge rang a small bell to announce the start of the competition.

Then Gu Li and Zheng Feng began to get busy, and Ling Zhenfei's Divine Sense focused intently. He noticed that Zheng Feng had brought his own ingredients, which included a bluefin tuna.

The bluefin tuna was extremely rare, and combined with its delicious taste, it was indeed a top-notch ingredient.

Besides the bluefin tuna, there was also a piece of top-grade Kobe beef from Japan and a rainbow lobster, all top-notch ingredients, which surely added many points to their side.

Ling Zhenfei thought about what dishes he should use to counter Gu Li and Zheng Feng.

Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but take it seriously. If he lost here, how could he continue in the future?

With that thought, Ling Zhenfei looked into his Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, where the vegetables all came from Xishan Manor. Ling Zhenfei was very confident in the produce from Xishan Manor.

Ling Zhenfei's eyes fell on a few fish. These fish were all raised in Spirit Spring Water, and could be described as being full of Northern Spiritual Energy, making their flavor truly wonderful when cooked.

At his Xishan Manor, Ling Zhenfei had a pond with water flowing down from Xianling Mountain, and he regularly poured Xuantian Spirit Spring Water into it, making the water very special.

He kept some fish there, not many, but they were extremely precious. Ling Zhenfei's Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow contained some of these fish.
