Including the Master Lu, there were a total of four people. Some of them were responsible for the meat dishes and the others were responsible for the ingredients.
Meat and meat, birds and seafood, and vegetables, as well as medicinal ingredients and aquatic plants.
Some need to be turned into mud, while others need to be shaped.
The twenty-four ingredients required more than half a day's worth of effort just to 'defile' the circle.
But in the end, it was still something that took a lot of time and effort. Zhang Yitian wouldn't wait until Master Lu and the rest finished cooking before making his move.
So when the four of them were halfway done, and most of the ingredients were finished, and Zhang Yitian had finished digesting and absorbing them, he started to take his time.
Of course, Zhang Yitian did not need to worry about speed, because when these people were dealing with the ingredients, he had already fully understood the method of handling them.
As long as that was the case, Zhang Yitian's efficiency would naturally increase when the time came, because he did not need to think about what he needed to do next.
The ingredients of Master Lu's group had basically all been processed and they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
The speed of the four of them was still considered fast. Moreover, they were all working together, so the degree of tacit understanding between them could be imagined.
Compared to the four of them, Zhang Yitian did not have any advantages at all.
There was only one person who had never cooked such high-grade dishes before.
In fact, Master Lu had not thought about this matter for a long time, because he did not place this person in his eyes at all.
A young student in his early twenties who had not even heard of this dish and wanted to compete with the old master who had been pondering about it for his entire life?
If he were to ask who would win, he would probably drag someone along the street. As long as that person was not crazy, he would definitely throw his vote to Master Lu!
Master Lu had never paid attention to Zhang Yitian because he needed to be completely focused when processing the ingredients. If he was slightly distracted, all his previous work would have gone down the drain, and he would not only need to process the ingredients again, he would also slow down.
Therefore, his entire life's experience was telling Master Lu that as a chef, he had to be absolutely focused when cooking!
However, for people like him who were on the same level as him, his three helpers were different.
After dealing with most of the ingredients, they finally remembered that Zhang Yitian was also here.
One of them hurriedly looked at the seat reserved for Zhang Yitian, and immediately turned pale with fright!
"What?" This... Is it a human or a ghost? "
In the kitchen just now, other than the knocking sounds of the various cooking utensils, there was practically no other sound.
The chef shouted out loudly, causing the others to jump in fright. Someone shook the knife in his hand, nearly adding another finger of ingredients to the dish!
That person could not help but curse the one who shouted, "You... What are you doing? Your father's fingers were almost chopped off! "
However, the person who was scolded did not care, and still looked at Zhang Yitian in panic.
The few of them stopped what they were doing, even Master Lu looked over impatiently.
What annoyed him the most was someone disturbing his concentration!
But even when he looked towards Zhang Yitian's direction, he could not help but let out a loud shout, "Impossible!?"
Zhang Yitian did not budge an inch, both of his hands were still busily working, his face was full of calmness.
"Two... Two hands? Two things at the same time? "
"Eyes! Look at his eyes, he doesn't even need to look at the chopping board!" This... This is too damn good! "
"No, there's more. Look at that pile of stuff by his side …"
Everyone looked at the pile of plates and bowls beside Zhang Yitian. Inside them were all various ingredients that had already been processed!
The Master Lu had counted, and adding the things that Zhang Yitian was currently handling, there were exactly twenty-four of them!
"He … It seems like he only did it when we were halfway done? How can that be so fast? "
"We are also the last four, but he only has two left, and it seems like his progress is even faster than ours?"
Master Lu stared at Zhang Yitian in shock, he suddenly felt an intense unease!
Wasn't this guy too terrifying? In just a short while, he had already processed so many ingredients!
"You even said that you had never cooked this dish before!" The Master Lu suddenly flew into a rage, "You are simply getting to the point where you are familiar with the road! One person's speed is faster than the four of us? You... You're lying! This is your trap! "
Zhang Yitian could not help but stop what he was doing, while the three members of the Yu Family who were outside in the living room were also attracted by the curse.
Yu Feifei supported Yu Guangzhi into the kitchen, and when he saw Master Lu's hostile look, he quickly asked: "Master Lu, what's wrong?"
Master Lu pointed at Zhang Yitian and said: "Elder Yu, this brat is dishonest! Look, the four of us haven't finished processing these 24 ingredients yet, but this brat alone is faster than the four of us? "It's obvious that he lied. He's done these kinds of things, and his speed is astonishing!"
Yu Guangzhi looked at the results of the four disciples from Master Lu. Twenty years of work were piled up on top of the plates, and each of them were holding something that had yet to be processed!
On the contrary, it was Zhang Yitian who was calm and composed.
Yu Guangzhi looked at Zhang Yitian in disbelief, only to see that Zhang Yitian's two hands were busy, and even had the time to smile at him.
The old man's expression turned ugly! He previously thought that no matter how good the culinary arts were, the Master Lu would be the top, but Zhang Yitian … This was the power of travelling through the universe!
Zhang Yitian put down his work and smiled helplessly. "Old Master Yu, Master Lu's words are a bit unfair to me. Firstly, I didn't say that I had never cooked this kind of dish before. Secondly, because I was a bit faster, Master Lu wasn't happy? To be honest, I'm also a little curious about the other four cities' work, so I can't help but to study. However, even with my speed, there's nothing I can do about it!
Zhang Yitian's words angered Master Lu even more, but he was not so angry, rather he was jealous. Zhang Yitian was alone, the four of them, yet he was able to handle the ingredients so quickly, it was simply f * * king against the heavens!
As an acknowledged chef, if he was able to keep his balance after being oppressed like this, it would be strange if he did not feel jealous!
Of course, Yu Guangzhi could clearly see what exactly happened, and he chuckled: "Master Lu, it's not that I'm talking too much, it's just you that's in the wrong. Among you four, there's only one Mr. Zhang, and you guys aren't as fast as him, that's your problem.
My old man said something unpleasant, Master Lu, you should learn from him, and instead criticize him, which is not like a master! Three people will definitely have me as their master. My old man is a few years older than you, Master Lu, but I am still asking humbly, what about you, Master Lu? "
Yu Guangzhi's words were very metaphorical. Although her tone was very calm and there was no need to explain further, she spoke in a roundabout way that this Master Lu was not worth a single cent.
For a dignified chef to be jealous of others despite his poor culinary skills, even asking you to humbly request for guidance, that could be considered pleasant. It would be considered as giving you face if you didn't scold him!
Master Lu's face was flushed red. He was not stupid, of course he could understand Yu Guangzhi's true meaning.
However, although he was not convinced, and was oppressed by a junior, Yu Guangzhi was his boss, he could not afford to offend him. Otherwise, where would he be able to earn an annual salary of two million?
Now, even if he lost all his teeth he would still have to swallow it back down. In the end, he glared at Zhang Yitian and could only continue burying his head and cooking!
The corner of Yu Guangzhi's mouth curled upwards. Naturally, he had already determined the effect of it on Zhang Yitian and the Master Lu.
Master Lu had said so much, and Zhang Yitian had only argued once, what was the need to say more about his character?
Yu Guangzhi rushed towards Zhang Yitian, looked at the already prepared ingredients on the chopping board, and sighed: "Mr Zhang is indeed a Master Chef, I, Old Man Yu, am truly impressed!"
Yu Guangzhi purposely raised his tone later on, and also purposefully spoke for the Master Lu to hear.
He wanted that self-proclaimed Master to know that he was actually nothing, so he had to understand that there was a mountain beyond the mountain!
The competition continued, after Zhang Yitian finished everything, he stopped and continued to wait for his opponents.
The reason why he was able to learn how to do things faster than the person who "taught" them how to do them was actually greatly related to his own comprehension ability.
This was because none of the 24 ingredients had their own method of handling them, moreover, they were fixed.
Zhang Yitian looked at how the others were handling the situation, and actually, he already knew what he was going to do next.
Therefore, what he needed to see was basically the first few steps. Knowing what he had to do, he would do it step by step.
The speed of Zhang Yitian's hands was indescribable, and the degree of exquisite workmanship was not something an ordinary person could compare with.
He was just an ordinary person, but he was using a spell to learn. The two were originally different in nature, if Zhang Yitian still could not beat the four of them, then it would really be a bit unreasonable.
The four of them were not in a good mood this time, because Zhang Yitian had been trying to intimidate them from the very beginning.
Zhang Yitian waited here for a while, the last ingredient of the group was actually not finished yet. He decided to get a little impatient and directly went to the living room to chat with Yu Guangzhi.
Seeing that Zhang Yitian had left, the three chefs chattered for a long time.
The last person came to Master Lu's side and said, "Great Master, this is an opportunity … "That brat went out. Let's secretly add something into his food …"
"Shut up!" The Master Lu scolded, "Who do you think I am? "If I win, I will win fair and square!"
The person said helplessly, "But you are probably going to lose now?" "You can see just how capable that brat is. None of us are his match in terms of cooking ingredients alone. Tell me about cooking later …"
The other one also came over. "That's right, I know what you're capable of, but I don't know what that kid is! "Say, with your wise martial prowess in your entire life, if you meet this kid before you do, if you really end up losing track of time, then that really is …"
Master Lu seemed to have thought of something and frowned deeply. He was clear that if he couldn't even win against someone of unknown origin, how would the Yu Family think of him? Even if the other party didn't open his mouth to slap him, how could he have the face to continue staying here?
These were the most practical considerations!
The last person also came over and whispered, "We are all thinking for your sake!"
