Result of the first game.

The cooking competition in the kitchen was still ongoing. However, at this point, the thoughts of the onlookers had changed significantly from when they first entered the kitchen.

When they first came in, no one believed that Jaxon could outdo the chef here in culinary skills. Even Geng Yafei, who was on Jaxon's side, didn't think he could win.

However, after witnessing Jaxon's terrifying knife skills, the previously certain opinions of the onlookers began to waver. Although they didn't understand as clearly as Chef Liu, they knew that the knife skills Jaxon displayed were definitely not something an ordinary person without cooking skills could achieve.

Could it be that his culinary skills were truly amazing and capable of defeating Chef Liu?

The onlookers began to harbor such doubts to varying degrees.

Nevertheless, Li Bing and Manager Huang still had great confidence in Chef Liu.

Firstly, they were laymen. Although they thought Jaxon's knife skills were good, Chef Liu's knife skills were also impressive. Moreover, the taste of food is not determined by knife skills alone.

Secondly, Chef Liu had been the head chef here for some time. The guests who had tasted his dishes all praised them highly. There was no doubt about Chef Liu's cooking skills. Jaxon's knife skills might be impressive, but in terms of food preparation, he definitely couldn't compare with Chef Liu.

The third dish chosen by Chef Liu and Jaxon was a soup, and the simplest one at that—vegetable and radish soup.

If an ordinary person made this kind of soup, it wouldn't taste very good. However, with a chef of Chef Liu's caliber, this soup would naturally be excellent. It was also a favorite among many guests for its light and delicious flavor.

After all three dishes were prepared, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of top-notch cuisine, causing the onlookers to unconsciously swallow their saliva.

"Since the cooking is done, let's go choose guests to be the judges," Manager Huang said.

This had been agreed upon from the beginning, and Jaxon naturally had no objections. The difference was that Chef Liu did not stay in the kitchen but went out with the others. He also wanted to see whether the food he had prepared could beat Jaxon's.

If it had been earlier, Chef Liu would not have taken an unknown challenger seriously. However, after seeing Jaxon's knife skills, he was no longer as confident as before.

Although it was past mealtime, there were still quite a few guests in the restaurant. Manager Huang suggested that Jaxon choose the guests first. Jaxon did not refuse. He looked around the dining hall and randomly pointed to a table, saying, "Let's go with them."

"Alright," Manager Huang looked at the table and called over a beautiful waitress, saying, "Take these two portions of braised pork to that table and tell them that the restaurant is holding an event today. Their table was selected to receive two free portions of braised pork. However, they need to evaluate the two portions and choose the one with the better taste."

"Okay, Manager Huang," the waitress responded. She carried the two plates of braised pork and walked towards the table Jaxon had chosen.

"Jaxon, after you lose, I think you should apologize to Manager Huang and Chef Liu here in public. Don't worry, I'll record your behavior with my phone," Li Bing said.

"How does Teacher Li know for sure that I will lose?" Jaxon said nonchalantly, "I'd also like to remind you to have that ten thousand yuan ready. I'll charge a thousand in interest for every day it's late."

"Joke, you can actually beat Chef Liu?" Li Bing said disdainfully.

"Why not?"

"I'd like to see how long you're going to keep talking big!" Li Bing said.

It didn't take long for the waitress to come back, bringing with her the evaluation from the guests at that table.

"Well? Which portion of braised pork did the guests at that table say was better, the one in the red bowl or the one in the white bowl?" Manager Huang asked.

Chef Liu, although not very pleasant in temperament and often arguing with himself, was indeed very skilled. Manager Huang had great trust in his cooking. It was precisely because of this trust that he did not cheat in the competition. He felt there was no need, so he did not know who had won the first round.

The others also looked at the waitress, wanting to hear the answer from her.

The waitress, unaware of the competition, honestly said, "The guests said the braised pork in the red bowl tastes better."

Red?

Everyone except Jaxon was stunned because the braised pork in the red bowl was made by Jaxon, which meant that Jaxon had won the first round!

"Red? Are you sure you didn't hear it wrong?" Manager Huang asked reluctantly.

"Yes, the guests at that table did say the braised pork in the red bowl was tastier. The one in the white bowl was also good, just slightly inferior to the one in the red bowl," the waitress, seeing the strange expressions of the crowd and Manager Huang's seemingly anxious demeanor, felt a bit nervous. However, she still faithfully recounted what the guests at that table had said.

"How many guests at that table chose the red bowl?" Li Bing quickly reacted and asked, "If only one or two people chose the red bowl, then this result is invalid."

After speaking, Li Bing tried to give the waitress a meaningful look, but Geng Yafei, who knew Li Bing well, slightly moved and stood in front of him, blocking the waitress's view of Li Bing's signal.

There was no suspense now. Jaxon won the first round, and he won it thoroughly.

Manager Huang's face turned a bit ugly, and he also felt some regret in his heart. He didn't expect that Chef Liu would actually lose to this young man. If he had known this would happen, he would have secretly instructed the waitress earlier to say that the guests chose the white bowl, regardless of what the guests actually said.

However, it was too late now. Regretting was of no use.

"But there are still two more chances. Jaxon definitely won't win!" Manager Huang thought.

In order to win this competition, he was already prepared to use some unconventional means. As long as he could beat Jaxon, anything was fair game.

"I shouldn't have trusted that guy with the surname Liu in the first place. As expected, he's good at arguing with me but has no real skills. He can't even beat a young person," Manager Huang complained in his heart.

Manager Huang and Chef Liu's relationship was not very good to begin with. If it weren't for wanting to embarrass Jaxon, he wouldn't have lowered his attitude towards Chef Liu. The result was that Chef Liu couldn't even beat Jaxon, which made Manager Huang look down on him even more.
