Chapter 308: Chapter 309: Even for Us Guangfu People, This Level Is Hard to Come By!

"Art, this is the art of Cantonese cuisine."

Xue Feng looked at the char siu rice in front of him and couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

He had another identity, the grand-disciple of Master Luo, a master of Cantonese cuisine!

Xue Feng was 25 years old this year. He had shown remarkable talent since he was young and made rapid progress in learning Cantonese cuisine. The reason he was still relatively unknown was because his master was strict and hadn’t allowed him to graduate yet.

Master had always been his idol, but until now, he hadn’t received any specific praise from Master. At most, he got words of encouragement like "keep up the good work."

But then, he suddenly saw Master praising someone else highly, almost placing them on the same level, which piqued his curiosity to check out who this remarkable person was.

When he looked them up, he was shocked to discover that it was just another young person around his age!

How could he accept this?!

Even though the next day many people on-site shared the latest pictures and reviews, he still resolutely boarded a plane to Tianjin.

He had to see for himself if this person truly deserved Master’s praise!

When he stepped into the cafeteria and smelled the aroma of char siu, all his contempt disappeared.

Upon seeing the finished dish, he internally raised this person to the same level as himself.

The char siu was an alluring burnt red color, with a lustrous sheen, intertwined with fat and lean parts, emitting a rich and mellow aroma. Such mastery of the heat was not attainable without reaching a certain level, as even a slightly stronger fire or a bit longer time would inevitably turn the burnt red color into a charred black.

The scrambled eggs were silky smooth, with a golden liquid that seemed set but not set, also a testament to ultimate control of the heat.

But Xue Feng knew that he had lost in terms of heat control.

Although he could produce the same effect, he could only make one serving at a time and had to watch closely. But what about that boss?

He was working with five pots at once!

And each pot contained portions for dozens of people!

And yet, he was able to achieve the effect Xue Feng could only manage by putting his whole heart into it; this showed a mastery of heat control that laid everything bare.

Picking up a piece of char siu, the thickly cut piece of meat looked very solid. Only someone with absolute confidence in their craft would dare cut it so thick.

Cutting it too thick without proper marination would leave the inside tasteless, and using pork belly without flavor would make it too greasy on the palate.

Putting it in his mouth and taking a bite, Xue Feng knew he couldn’t compare to the person still busily working at the window.

"Sizzle..."

The moment he bit down, a rich and savory juice was squeezed out from the meat, spraying into his mouth, activating all his taste buds at once.

Then, the pleasant, aromatic flavor of the sauce followed closely, quickly conquering the awakened taste buds, making him instinctively start chewing down in large bites.

Every bite of the robust meat chunk was full of texture; the char siu was tender and juicy, melting in the mouth. The honey-like sweetness paired with the fatty meat should have been the most greasy combo, yet it left none of that sensation on his palate.

Picking up a piece of scrambled egg again, it was similarly an exceptional work, and that boss even stir-fried five servings in one pan!

Taking the golden scrambled egg in one bite, the texture upon entry was neither watery nor solid, neither like gelatin nor not, making it simply captivating. The rich aroma of lard paired with the egg’s savory taste elevated the overall flavor profile.

The tenderness of the scrambled eggs collided with the richness of the char siu in the mouth, creating the most delightful contrast.

The grains of rice were plump; scooping a big spoonful into the mouth, the fragrant, chewy rice perfectly complemented the scrambled eggs and char siu, enhancing the chewiness and enriching the taste.

The perfectly balanced sweetness, soy sauce, and seafood sauce flavors, along with the fresh aroma of the rice, blended in the mouth to form a rich, unique, yet harmonious taste.

Every bite was filled with the dedication and passion of the chef, conveying an undeniable warmth and care from a stranger that simply couldn’t be refused!

This was the so-called taste of home.

The most beautiful flavor created by a restaurant wasn’t something as unreachable as dragon liver or phoenix marrow; those are pure fiction. True deliciousness is what makes one feel comfortable, what has the taste of home. Only then can a customer become a loyal return guest.

Evidently, this boss achieved that.

Xue Feng conceded.

There’s no denying; in cooking, no matter how stubbornly you argue, if the flavor isn’t as good as others’, it’s just not as good.

For cooking, just practice more!

However, Xue Feng had one question he must ask this young boss, so he stayed in the cafeteria without leaving, waiting for a moment when no one was at the window.

"This meat, good heavens, I just have to say wow! It’s juicy with every bite; truly, this flavor leaves me speechless!"

"I’m lost in the aroma; I’m lost in the aroma. Boss Wang’s skills are unbeatable, truly deserving the title of the hardest-to-achieve yet most rewarding wild boss. I could eat three bowls of this rice!"

"Stop bragging; if you can eat three bowls, I can eat five!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"A bite of scrambled egg, a bite of char siu meat, a bite of rice can’t even shut your mouths. I’m a bit envious of people in Guangfu right now; do they eat this kind of delicacy every day?"

"Young one, I’m telling you, in Guangfu, it’s not easy to find such delicious char siu rice either; truly, eating it is a gain."

"That’s right, this is already at the master level. The last time I tasted this quality and flavor was by chance, tasting Master Jia Le’s work."

The cafeteria was filled with praises for Wang Fan, solidifying his title as the strongest wild boss once again.

Zhao Liang and Chen Qing watched the students, teachers, and some who looked like successful individuals devouring the char siu rice made by their boss in such ecstasy that they were filled with optimism for their future.

Even if they learned only half... no, even if they captured just a quarter of the customers, they could still make a fortune!

"The boss, so young, can already make such delicious food; he truly is amazing."

"I wonder how he trained, surely he apprenticed under a particularly incredible master?"

The two of them were left with nothing but admiration for Wang Fan’s culinary skills.

If someone beside you is a bit stronger, you might still be a little jealous, but if they’re way ahead, you can’t even muster jealousy.

They looked at him like an alien, unable even to reach his knees by jumping, so what was there to be jealous of?

Wang Fan himself couldn’t figure out whether he was this skilled because he’d been enhanced by the system, or if he truly had the so-called Innate Chef Saint Body Daoist Embryo.

Anyway, showing off was something he rarely did; saying it out loud felt embarrassing.

This made him seem even more profound and humble, and Zhao Liang and Chen Qing looked at him with increasing fervor.
