“No objections.” Mag nodded. Sith could be considered a fair person. The judges he found were all respectable figures who weren’t biased.
“No objections.” Sith also nodded.
Robert glanced at his watch, and said, “Alright, according to the agreement, this culinary duel will begin in three minutes. Please get ready.”
Sith went back to the cooking bench, and started his last preparatory work.
Sith Restaurant’s workers and assistant chefs were all very nervous. After all, this duel would affect Sith Restaurant’s reputation and future. Whether it was success or failure, it all depended on this duel.
In contrast to the nervousness of the people from Sith Restaurant, the view on Mamy Restaurant’s side was completely different.
“Boss, please take a seat.” Yabemiya brought a chair over and placed it by the fireplace. After that, she stood behind the chair.
“Thank you.” Mag nodded slightly. He sat by the warm fireplace and crossed his legs comfortably as he closed his eyes. This fireplace was really well done. There was even a light scent from the fruit tree charcoal.
All he needed to do for the ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ was to put it on top of the stove to stew. When the time was up, he just had to take it off the stove, so all that was left right now was to wait.
Elizabeth and the others were also standing neatly in a row behind Mag, looking very relaxed.
Amy brought a little stool over, and carried Ugly Duckling as she went over to sit beside Mag. She raised her little arms out, bringing Ugly Duckling towards the fireplace, scaring it so much that it tightly gripped her little arms, causing a roar of laughter.
Anna stood at the side, grabbing Ugly Duckling’s frantically swaying tail carefully in case it really ended up sending its tail into the fireplace. If that really happened, it would really become very ugly.
“Say, is this really a proper culinary duel? Why does it seem like the owner and employees of Mamy Restaurant are just here to enjoy a show?”
“This owner is pretty honest. And all these staff, aren’t they a little too pretty? What a winner in life!”
“But aren’t those two little girls a little too cute?!”
“Ah, that little kitty is so pitiful, I want to take its place!”
Outside Mamy Restaurant, there were already around 500 people gathering to watch. Most of them came especially to line up for food later. The rest came just to watch a show after hearing about the duel.
However, everyone was surprised when they saw the crew of the Mamy Restaurant. Of course, most of them were attracted by Amy, who was teasing Ugly Duckling, and Anna, who was standing beside Amy.
The cute little girl and that adorable ball of fur were certainly an attention grabber.
The neat row of women also made people’s eyes light up. They were already looking at Mag with jealousy and envy.
That was because he looked way too relaxed, so much so that it felt like they were the real audience to this show. But wasn’t he supposed to be the main character of this duel?
Candice looked at Mag, and unhappily said, “Mamy Restaurant’s owner is quite pretentious. The duel is starting soon, but instead of making preparations, he even got himself a chair to sit on.”
To be able to obtain the title of the Queen of the Culinary in Rodu, Candice put in multiple times the effort men had. She got to where she was—the top 10 most influential chefs in Rodu—step by step amidst all the doubts and mockery.
As a woman of action, she hated chefs who were all fluff. These fellows usually had bigger temper than capabilities, and would not be able to amount to anything.
To her, Mag was arrogant and did not take this duel seriously.
“Has he already given up on the duel?” Avis was also baffled as he looked at Mag.
“I find this owner pretty interesting. He is someone who knows how to enjoy life.” Randy smiled. He looked at Mag and the four service staff members behind him of varying styles, and smiled even more broadly. “It must be such enjoyment to dine in this restaurant.”
Sith glanced at the leisurely Mag, and then at the vat of wine on the stove at the side.
Mag had already told him that the soup he was brewing would take a very long time, so he would start cooking beforehand. It seemed that this vat contained the soup that he would be competing with today.
“So pretentious. I’ll see if he’s still able to sleep when he loses,” the bald man mumbled as he looked at Mag unhappily.
“Change the water and get ready to start cooking,” Sith said calmly and retracted his gaze as he felt a sense of uneasiness.
Although he was very confident in the freshwater seafood soup that was passed down by his ancestors, Mag’s relaxed look made him uncertain. What exactly is this new product he is launching? Is it really better than braised chicken soup?
“Mr. Mag is a humble and polite person. He is also a chef who takes culinary arts very seriously. Mr. Sith told me that Mr. Mag would start cooking beforehand because the soup that he is making takes a lot of time. Both parties did not have any disagreements over it,” Robert explained with a smile.
Candice scoffed, and mocked, “Heh, since the duration isn’t the same, this is not a fair duel. I’ve never heard of such a weird culinary duel. Who can guarantee that he is the one who made this soup? Then what’s the point of this duel?”
“Yeah, isn’t that too unfair? Before Boss Sith even starts, that owner had already started.”
“Yeah, who knows who made this pot of soup? Someone else might have made it.” The Queen of Culinary was sharp to pinpoint the problem immediately.
After Candice spoke, the crowd became hyped up with curiosity. They quickly started looking for some loopholes and formed conspiracy theories.
“Why are all these people spouting nonsense? This is Boss’s hard work!” Yabemiya looked at Candice angrily. How could this lady be a judge? It would be terrible if she was already on Sith’s side before the duel even starts.
Mamy Restaurant’s regulars were all indignant when they heard the comments.
“Boss Mag getting someone to cook for him is probably the best joke I’ve heard the entire year?” Harrison could not hold his laughter back.
This comment also made the regulars of Mamy Restaurant burst into laughter.
Mag, who was almost falling asleep, opened his eyes and smiled at Candice as he said, “Miss, I suggest you watch your words before you get the facts right.
“Boss Sith was the one who challenged me to the duel. He was also the one who suggested the theme and format for this duel. I set the time and location, and told him that the soup that I was making would take five hours to finish. In order not to waste everyone’s time, I would start cooking first.”
“As for getting someone else to cook on my behalf, please wake up. This is a duel between the first and second placing on the soup rankings. Mamy Restaurant is in the first place. May I ask, which ranking’s chef am I supposed to ask to help me make this pot of soup to take up this duel where the chef’s dignity is on the line?”
