Imperial College Kindergarten

Chapter 110 Talent is more important than hard work

When Ma Chao heard this, he thought to himself that things are different now. Back then, the master and the master were both just fledgling chefs. No matter how they started making trouble, they would not cause too much trouble. However, now Zeng Guangxian is already the chef of the Imperial College, and he still As a former imperial chef, public opinion will definitely be favorable to Zeng Guangxian. If he must be exposed, it is really not a good idea.

Therefore, he took out a letter of challenge from his arms: "Ma Chao, the cook of Jiangzhou Academy, requests to challenge Cheng Dong, the cook of the Imperial Academy."

After the words fell, everyone couldn't help but start discussing again.

"Did I hear you correctly? Who is he going to challenge?"

"It seems to be called Cheng Dong. Who is Cheng Dong?"

"You are all behind on the news, right? Cheng Dong is the apprentice that Chef Zeng accepted. I heard that there was a quarrel in Chef Zeng's family when he accepted him?"

"How to say?"

"It's not like Chef Zeng doesn't accept his own nephews, but he accepted a girl from out of town, which made the family dissatisfied!"

"Brother, he is so secretive that he even knows this."

"Hey, Chef Zeng lives in our neighborhood. What a coincidence, isn't it?"

"Oh~ I see, I thought Ma Chao was going to challenge Chef Zeng!"

"This... after all, Chef Zeng has many years of experience. How can Ma Chao challenge him at such a young age?"

"Yes, this is a battle between apprentice and apprentice!"

"How are they going to compete? Have a cooking competition?"

"Who knows, I wonder if we will have the honor to watch it."

"Hey, I see you don't want to watch, but you want to have a chance to taste delicious food, right?"

"Hahaha, it's human nature to eat and drink!"

Zeng Guangxian glanced at Cheng Dong, but shook his head and refused: "No, I have only been a disciple for a short time and haven't learned anything yet. How can I compete with you?"

Cheng Dong held Zeng Guangxian's arm and shouted softly: "Master..."

Zeng Guangxian patted the back of Cheng Dong's hand and told her not to worry, and then looked at Ma Chao: "I guess you don't want others to say that you can't win, right?"

A dark light flashed in Ma Chao's eyes, and it was exactly as the master said.

"Is Chef Zeng scared? Or is he feeling guilty?"

"What do you mean?" Zeng Guangxian frowned. He really couldn't understand why Ma Chao insisted on competing. "If I talk about what happened back then, I have a clear conscience. I have nothing to feel guilty about. If you are here for this challenge, There is no need to use provoking methods, I will not agree to my apprentice's competition, this is not equal at all, how can we compare?"

"Then have you asked your apprentice if he is willing to compete?" Ma Chao was not disappointed and asked Cheng Dong's wishes again, "Miss Cheng, are you willing to compete with me?"

"No matter whether you win or lose, you don't need to place any additional bets, just compete openly and openly, is that feasible?"

When Zeng Guangxian heard this, his expression turned gloomy instantly. He actually dared to set his sights on his apprentice!

Liu Xueting listened to Ma Chao's words and analyzed with the system: "There is something in these words. There must be some reversal in the competition between Chef Zeng and Master Ma Chao!"

"The host is interested in what happened back then?"

Liu Xueting denied: "No, it has been so many years, and Master Ma Chao is no longer here. I am more interested in whether Cheng Dong will agree."

"Probably not. After all, she has just started learning to cook, and Ma Chao looks like he has been a veteran for several years." 303 expressed his opinion.

"That's not necessarily true," Liu Xueting had a different opinion, "The level of cooking skills does not depend on the length of time you learn. Sometimes, talent is more important than hard work." "Is that so?" The system was confused, "Then hard work is Isn’t it too unfair that you can’t do what you are talented at?”

"Well, how should I put it? There are many places in this world that are unfair. Some people need to work very hard to stay the same and not regress, but some people can easily reach heights that others can't reach in their lifetimes by relying on their talent. , how can this compare? Of course, there are only a few talented people after all, most of them are ordinary people, and they can only rely on hard work."

"Isn't that pitiful?"

"Poor?" Liu Xueting repeated the word, "I don't think you are pitiful if you can live a good life, but you are blessed if you live a safe and smooth life. As for talent, God gave you this talent, maybe to complete a certain task in life. Topic. If you don’t have talent, just find your own path and work hard in this life.”

"Why does the host feel so much today?"

"Uh... I don't know, I just thought of it and said it."

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Cheng Dong, watching whether she would agree to Jiangzhou Academy's challenge.

Some students from Jiangzhou Academy supported Ma Chao: "Yes, why don't you fight? Is it possible that the Imperial Academy is afraid?"

"Hahahahahaha, why don't you just return to the Imperial College?"

"Is the Imperial College good? If not, don't be the number one academic institution in the Great Xia Dynasty. Give up your position as soon as possible!"

"It's just that it's not time to compete in knowledge, and you don't even dare to compete in cooking?"

"Hey, the Imperial College is getting worse and worse!"

Even though they knew it was a way to provoke the generals, the people gathered around the Imperial College couldn't help but get angry after hearing this, and they couldn't help but retort back: "Who said that our Imperial College is afraid? What kind of cooking skills can you compare with us? You have the ability to compete with us in knowledge. !”

"That's right, we're not afraid anymore!"

"Who said our Imperial College can't do it? Don't lose by then and you won't even remember the way home!"

"Yes, we are obviously afraid that you will lose miserably, do you want to let you know?"

"That's right, stop talking so shamelessly here!"

Seeing that the two sides were getting more and more excited as they talked, and when they were almost about to fight, the preparation bell rang to remind them of class, and the crowd suddenly fell silent.

Ma Chao still looked at Cheng Dong: "Miss Cheng, are you still unwilling to compete?"

Cheng Dongben's hands hanging by her sides had involuntarily grasped her clothes. Because of her nervousness, even beads of sweat appeared on her nose and forehead. She bit her lower lip, feeling entangled in her heart.

Let's compare, but what the master said is also true. Her training days are still short, how can she compare with Ma Chao?But let's not compete. People have come to challenge us. This is still the first battle. If we don't compete, wouldn't it damage the morale of the Imperial College?
Compare or not?
Seeing his apprentice's hesitation, Zeng Guangxian didn't know what he was thinking. He hurriedly advised: "Don't listen to their nonsense. It won't matter if you compare with each other. If you really lose..."

"Master, do you think I will definitely lose?" Unexpectedly, Cheng Dong suddenly asked this question.

"This...you don't have enough time to learn. I haven't taught you many dishes. You will definitely lose!"

When Ma Chao heard what Zeng Guangxian said, he laughed sarcastically.

Even Liu Xueting frowned and shook his head, what happened to Chef Zeng?

"Master, doesn't the essence of a cooking competition lie in the taste? Whether it is delicious or not can be tasted as long as you have a mouth. This has little to do with the dishes, right?"

"How could it be irrelevant? If you learned all the dishes I taught you, you would win if you picked out one at random!"

"Master, you are wrong!"
