Chapter 2496: Fiery Scene! This Stall Is Mine! (4)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Their mentality was quite simple. Since they had to eat, why not choose something with better effects?
“Whoa!” Wang Teng was taken aback by the enthusiasm of the crowd. He found himself somewhat overwhelmed, handling them all by himself.
“Little Brother Wang Teng, let me help you.” Yu Xiangxiang ran over, smiling brightly. “But you have to give me two more servings.”
“Sure, sure, come help me quickly,” Wang Teng exclaimed with delight.
With Yu Xiangxiang’s assistance, Wang Teng quickly served all the customers. Every single serving of the Drunken Ice-Fire Crab was sold out, earning him a whopping nine million points in one go. And the cost? Just a few White Flower Crabs and some spiritual herbs.
Overall, the cost was extremely low.
No wonder so many Force Chef grandmasters set up stalls here.
Small as the stalls may be, the income was incredibly high, a real windfall.
Of course, Wang Teng overlooked one thing. His culinary mastery far surpassed others, and the Force dishes he made were uniquely exceptional. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have earned such a high income.
This was something others couldn’t compare to.
“Grandmaster Wang Teng, your Drunken Ice-Fire Crab is truly indescribably wonderful. Who would have thought that such a simple dish of crab meat could contain such a rich combination of flavors? The heat of the flames and the coolness of the ice complement each other perfectly, with a slightly intoxicating sensation. Paired with the sweetness of the crab meat and the sourness of the sauce, it’s truly an ultimate indulgence,” Grandmaster Robert remarked as he approached Wang Teng’s stall after tasting a serving of Drunken Ice-Fire Crab.
For Force chef grandmasters like them, the analysis of spirit food was naturally more meticulous than others, with every flavor carefully tasted and evaluated.
“Yes, I haven’t tasted such delicious food in a long time. Grandmaster Wang Teng’s mastery of Force cooking is truly astonishing,” the grandmaster who previously prepared the Flame Purple Spirit Steak added.
“Grandmaster Wang Teng is so young, yet his mastery is so profound. It puts us to shame,” another grandmaster remarked, expressing their admiration. At this point, everyone had learned Wang Teng’s name, and their respect for his mastery of Force cooking was undeniable, eliciting a chorus of admiration. “You’re too kind,” Wang Teng chuckled. “I’ll continue to create Force dishes. If anyone’s interested, feel free to come and try.”
“Is it still the Drunken Ice-Fire Crab?” Someone asked curiously.
“Of course not. 1 will only make the Drunken Ice-Fire Crab once. Next, I’ll be making other Force dishes. Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you. Otherwise, if all the customers leave, what would I be making?” Wang Teng said confidently. Upon hearing this, everyone became extremely curious.
Could it be that Grandmaster Wang Teng had other spiritual food as delicious as the Drunken Ice-Fire Crab?
Without further ado, Wang Teng immediately took out other ingredients and began crafting several different Force dishes.
Yu Xiangxiang also pitched in to help, with the condition being that Wang Teng would provide her with Force dishes for free.
With such a simple request, of course, Wang Teng… would comply.
In no time, Wang Teng’s stall became bustling with activity, attracting many customers and causing a significant decrease in foot traffic around other stalls. This left the Force chef grandmasters feeling extremely helpless, and some even couldn’t help but feel jealous.
These Force chef grandmasters all come to participate in the exchange, but now, a young grandmaster with obvious superior skills has emerged, naturally leaving them feeling rather unhappy.
Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others didn’t leave, happily watching from the sidelines. Rather than eating at other stalls, they’d rather eat here—partly to support his business and partly because… free food was always better!
“Make way!”
At that moment, a somewhat discordant voice suddenly echoed from outside the crowd.
People slightly paused, turning to look, only to see a young man striding forward with a group, exuding an intimidating aura.
Though the crowd instinctively made way, they all furrowed their brows, not quite appreciating the young man’s demeanor.
However, the young man paid no mind, marching up to Wang Teng’s stall and fixing him with a cold stare.
“Please queue up if you’re buying something,” Wang Teng said lightly. “Many people are waiting.”
“This stall belongs to me,” the young man retorted coldly.
Wang Teng paused, then glanced at Yu Xiangxiang, who looked utterly confused. He felt a headache coming on. There was indeed something amiss with this stall.
How could such a prime location remain unused? He didn’t dare to reserve it, especially since nobody knew him here.
The surrounding crowd, upon hearing this, expressed their astonishment, followed by a glint of intrigue in their eyes. Some even began to revel in the situation.
It seemed that Grandmaster Wang Teng had stirred up trouble!
This stall had remained vacant for a while, despite many chefs attempting to claim it. It was highly suspicious.
In retrospect, it was likely under the control of a powerful entity.
And now, Grandmaster Wang Teng had snatched the stall, prompting the rightful owner to come knocking. They wouldn’t take this lying down.
“Oh no, it’s that annoying guy!” Yu Xiangxiang finally snapped out of her daze, her expression changing slightly.
Wang Teng’s mouth twitched. There was no need to say more. It was evident that the young man was also from a Culinary Family.
The young man glanced at Yu Xiangxiang, sneering, before turning his cold gaze back to Wang Teng. “Get out immediately, don’t dirty my stall.”
Initially, Wang Teng had considered reasoning with the young man and could have returned the stall without much fuss since he had already made enough profit.
However, the young man’s words made him furrow his brow, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“You… say that again!”
In the next moment, a slight curve formed at the corner of his lips.
It had been a long time since someone dared to speak to him like that!
