Chapter 289 - Jiang Hao's Strength
“Master Jiang, there's no need for that. A loss is a loss, and I can take it.”
Uncle Hai said with a wry smile.
Old Master felt a twinge of embarrassment upon hearing this.
”Let's drop the subject, shall we? I bet Hao Hao's cooking is ready by now. We should head back quickly!”
“Once you've tasted my grandson's cooking, you'll have no regrets!”
“Let's get moving! You're making my mouth water!”
Old Master teased.
......
Upon Old Master and Uncle Hai's return to the Heavenly-Mansion Tavern, a rich aroma enveloped the place.
They had just ascended the stairs when they encountered Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao's face lit up with joy to see Old Master back safe and sound.
However, his mood soured at the sight of Uncle Hai by Old Master's side, and he immediately adopted a frosty demeanor, his chilly Qi zeroing in on Uncle Hai.
Uncle Hai felt like he was in the presence of a formidable adversary, his heart pounding as he faced Jiang Hao.
Breathing became a struggle, and in a mere moment, his forehead was beaded with sweat.
It was then he truly appreciated the weight of Old Master's earlier words—there had been no exaggeration.
The Jade King, with his vast experience and wisdom, savored the excitement of his taste buds.
He immediately recognized that these dishes were extraordinary!
Looking at Jiang Hao with a sense of realization, he exclaimed in admiration,
“Nephew, did you prepare all these dishes yourself?”
Jiang Hao responded with a humble smile.
“Just a few little techniques, Uncle Soong. I hope they brought you some amusement!”
Hearing this, Soong Wanzhong couldn't help but express his admiration.
“Nephew, you're far too humble!”
“Such words would make any chef under heaven question their livelihood!”
“There are scarcely a handful of people in the world who possess Grandmaster-level culinary skills!”
The crowd was taken aback by these words!
They all agreed that Jiang Hao's cooking was exceptionally delicious, unlike anything they had ever tasted before.
And to think that even the Jade King, a renowned and esteemed figure, would offer such high praise!
Jiang Hao simply smiled in his usual modest way.
At this, the Old Master, hearing the Jade King's compliments, swelled with pride.
“Hao Hao, quickly serve your special medicinal dishes. Let everyone have a taste of your secret recipes!”
