Chapter 260: Taking the Head Start
Anyone can see it.

This cooking class is by no means a friendly exchange, but a cooking competition between Nanzhi and Lai Liang, a wonderful collision of Chinese and Japanese food!

So before the live broadcast started, some netizens were so nervous that they scolded Nanzhi online, asking her not to lose to a Japanese chef with the reputation of Chinese cuisine, saying that it was simply a disgrace to all Chinese people...

So, everyone naturally thought that Nanzhi, who started this cooking class under tremendous pressure, would inevitably have a preconceived and critical attitude towards Lai Liang.

They might find fault with his techniques, or be afraid of his strength, or be so nervous that they dare not speak...

The facts are just the opposite.

Nanzhi is very peaceful.

She stood in the corner with her arms folded, listening to Lai Liang's words very seriously.

Even when Lai Liang hinted that the assistant should bring the food to her, she did not refuse or be wary. Instead, she tasted the food generously and commented:
"good."

Some people think she is being pretentious.

...Nanzhi is really not.

Her cooking grew up in a world where good food was truth.

There, Chinese cuisine and various delicacies derived from the eight major cuisines shine like stars in the sky.

She went from knowing nothing to traveling all over the country, learning the strengths of various schools, and finally integrating them all, reaching the pinnacle level for which she was later called the "God of Cooking."

Since he can constantly learn and innovate, Nanzhi is certainly not someone who would stick to his old ways.

On the contrary, she enjoys learning new things.

Take Japanese food for example. She didn’t know much about it before she traveled through time, and she had never tried it even once after she came back.

But she thinks that since Japanese food is loved by so many people all over the world, it must have its own merits.

After tasting it now, Nanzhi discovered that Japanese food, especially the Kaiseki cuisine in front of him, has the best of time, place and people. The advantage of the extremely fresh raw materials alone is enough to surpass many dishes.

Even Lai Liang, no matter how much Nanzhi disliked his arrogance, had to admit that he had put a lot of effort into this. The skillful movements of his hands alone proved that he had spent countless hours of effort on this.

It is impossible for a chef to not do a good job if he spends several years, more than ten years or even decades doing one thing.

Practice makes perfect, like the skill of a butcher cutting up an ox...these are the norm.

Nanzhi admires this dedication and attitude.

But nothing else.

Considering Nanzhi's discerning palate, which had tasted the finest delicacies, the dish before him was not unsurpassed.

"How about it?"

Nanzhi turned her head and saw Qi Pei'er's nervous expression beside her.

She looked down and saw that Qi Pei'er's plate had been eaten clean, and she smiled.

Qi Pei'er stammered:

"I, I don't want to waste..."

In fact, Qi Pei'er was very upset that she had eaten it all without realizing it.

Nanzhi's smile grew wider, and she said:
"It was delicious, and I ate it all."

Qi Pei'er cried out, thinking that Nanzhi was about to give up. She hesitated for a long time, covered the microphone, and said to Nanzhi in a very low voice:

"It doesn't matter if I lose, it doesn't decide anything..."

"Who said I was going to lose?"

This word no longer exists in Nanzhi's dictionary.

Qi Peier opened her eyes wide:
"So you just said..."

Nanzhi smiled mysteriously and then stood up: "It's my turn to get ready."

Lai Liang had already started preparing dessert, which meant the meal was coming to an end.

Then the next one is Nanzhi.

And at this time.

The comments in the live broadcast room were full of excitement:

[Oops, I have a bad feeling.]

[The kids all enjoyed their meals. They might not be able to accept sashimi, but they seemed happy eating sushi and tempura! ]

[Lai Liang can become a Michelin three-star chef, so he must be quite capable. Those who looked down on him before were just blindly confident! ]

[I think Nanzhi and the others had a wrong strategy. They shouldn't have let Lai Liang take the lead. Not to mention that he immediately attracted everyone's attention, just talking about the appetite issue, after eating this whole set of kaiseki cuisine, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat anything else! ]

[Oh, I'm not worried if I can't finish this. I never feel full when I eat kaiseki cuisine.]

[Kaiseki cuisine is all about not leaving people full! That’s where it all started! 】

[Hmm? There is such a strange thing in the world? ]

【Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter! 】

……

After the final "water" dessert of wagashi paired with matcha, the kaiseki meal prepared by Lai Liang himself came to an end.

To be honest, it was impossible for him to be without any pressure throughout the whole process.

His shop doesn't receive many customers each time, and it almost never happens that he has to prepare food for dozens of people at the same time like today.

Fortunately, he managed to hold on in the end.

Lai Liang thought his performance was perfect and no matter how hard Nanzhi tried, she would never be able to surpass him.

So, he bowed confidently, stood aside, folded his arms, and prepared to examine Nanzhi's cooking.

But before that, he saw several other guests from the program team walking to the front?
Lai Liang frowned and looked at Fu Chao and others' actions with surprise like everyone else.

Fu Chao and his men cleaned up the scene skillfully.

Fortunately, Lai Liang didn't arrange much, after all, the space was limited, so he just used black pottery bottles to hold some flowers and plants.

After Fu Chao and the others quickly cleaned up, they brought out a few tall and thin racks, tied with a few green bamboos, and with gauze curtains falling from above.

Just a few changes have transformed the entire environment. The originally simple cafeteria has added a strong sense of atmosphere, and things like gauze curtains do not block everyone's view.

Lai Liang's face darkened, and he was secretly annoyed at himself for not thinking of it. In his heart, he couldn't help but start to blame Chang Mu and his assistant.

However, with the camera filming, Lai Liang couldn't react too much. He could only hold back his temper and even pretended to be generous and said to the camera:
"quite pretty."

In fact, he felt that Nanzhi's extravagance was useless and that her true colors would be revealed soon...

The arrangement of green bamboo and gauze curtains is not yet complete.

Then Qi Pei'er, who had disappeared for a moment, appeared, holding a guqin in her arms and wearing a green dress. She looked simple, yet plain and beautiful.

She smiled at everyone, then sat cross-legged behind the desk in the corner, holding the guqin.

Qi Pei'er raised her hand and plucked the strings of the zither. After just two or three strokes, clear music like the sound of a spring began to sound.

This surprised everyone.

They knew that Qi Pei'er was multi-talented and could play many musical instruments.

But they never expected that Qi Pei'er could actually play the guqin!
What an unexpected surprise!
……and many more.

Isn't this Nanzhi's cooking class?
