Each of the three eyes was filled with seasoning, gently squeezed, the lotus root slices immediately separated from the root, and were coated with the flavor of the three seasonings.

Placing it in the mouth and gently taking a bite, his face instantly changed color, almost in disbelief. The more he ate, the more his expression turned sour, and finally, he put down his chopsticks.

"Ah, the taste is just, I lost, and I admit defeat wholeheartedly."

After saying this, Gu Li put down his chopsticks, said this to Ling Zhenfei, and then walked towards the back. A Michelin two-star chef had actually failed at cooking.

At this moment, Gu Li suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked Ling Zhenfei, "May I know your name?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Ling Zhenfei!"

After listening, Gu Li nodded and then strode towards the back.

Even though Gu Li had left, once Ling Zhenfei announced his name, the surrounding people were suddenly shocked.

"So he is Ling Zhenfei!"

"What Ling Zhenfei! It's the Miracle Doctor Ling Zhenfei."

"I didn't hear it wrong, did I? Is it a miracle doctor or a miracle chef?"

"It's the Miracle Doctor. I just felt he looked a bit familiar.

But because he didn't look exactly like the photo, I didn't recognize him. But as soon as he said it, I confirmed it. It's really the Miracle Doctor Ling Zhenfei, and to think he cooks so well too."

"No way, how did the Divine Doctor become a miracle chef?"

"This is called clearly relying on looks, yet preferring to rely on talent."

"Then is the girl next to him his girlfriend? She's really beautiful."

"That's not right, I've never heard of Ling Zhenfei having a girlfriend."

"Does he have to announce he has a girlfriend? Anyway, this woman was holding his hand just now, and I even took several photos."

"You didn't know he was Ling Zhenfei, so why did you take photos?"

"Who doesn't want to take a few photos when they see a handsome guy? Oh right, I'm going to set it as my screensaver. Look, which of these two photos is better?"

"Tsk, hopeless romantic."

At this point, Ma Long said, "Alright, the competition is now over. The result is very clear, two to one, and it's a complete victory. I don't need to say more, right?"

Zheng Feng's face was very unpleasant, and he said to Ling Zhenfei, "Alright, kid, you won. You're impressive."

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "What do you mean I'm impressive? Aren't I impressive?"

Zheng Feng said, "Who knows what sorcery you used to make all these judges choose you."

Ling Zhenfei was somewhat displeased: "Then how do you explain that even Gu Li is convinced?"

At this point, Zheng Feng fell silent. Gu Li was a Michelin two-star chef, considered rarer than pandas in Huaxia, yet he still lost to Ling Zhenfei.

Just then, Ma Long, standing to the side, said, "Zheng Feng, a good gambler. I've heard your wager is quite special. Can you please make good on it?"

Ma Long, the type who enjoys watching the world burn, said this, instantly turning Zheng Feng's face red.

"Kid, tell me how much money you want, I'll give it to you."

Ling Zhenfei was a bit stunned and said, "What part of our wager mentioned money?"

Zheng Feng said, "I'm giving you money, and you still don't want it. What do you want then? Can't you use money?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "I want you to know that some things cannot be bought with money, like love, friendship, family, and the sound of a dog's bark."

Ma Long laughed heartily and said, "Young Master Zheng, ever since they cracked down on dogs in this city, I haven't heard a dog's bark in a long time. Would you mind barking a few times?"

Zheng Feng's face looked awful; he'd spoken too absolutely before, and now he was simply at a loss.

"Remember this day!" Zheng Feng said viciously.

"We will definitely remember, like you learning to bark like a dog; this is memorable for a lifetime." Ling Zhenfei said with a cold smile.

"Woof woof woof!"

After barking three times, Zheng Feng turned around and left. His expression was imaginable, storming off in such a hurry that this matter was clearly not over.

Though the matter ended, a conflict arose among the judges. Two people grabbed that male judge and said to him: "We think you have issues.

We will report to headquarters immediately to revoke your qualifications and status as a commentator."

The male judge was defiant: "Why? My reputation was earned by myself and has nothing to do with headquarters."

"We suspect you were bought off, doing things against Michelin's image, so we need to investigate you to avoid further damage to our reputation."

"I'm not convinced, not convinced. Let's see." The man stormed off.

At this time, the female judge approached Ling Zhenfei and said, "Sir, it's unbelievable to experience your culinary skills here, a truly worthwhile trip."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You're flattering me; just now, you allowed me to witness Michelin's good reputation maintenance, you did great."

The female judge said, "Being fair and just is our primary goal."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You did well and it's no wonder people trust you."

The female judge said, "We came to Huaxia to find the best food and restaurants, but many have been unsatisfactory.

Are you a professional chef, and where do you work, are you the head chef?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm sorry, although I love cooking, I'm not a chef, I'm just a restaurant owner."

The female judge was stunned and said, "You said you're a restaurant owner, what kind of restaurant has such an impressive owner?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "My restaurant is called Xi Shan Restaurant, with branches in Binyang and Modu."

The female judge realized and said, "Oh, Xi Shan Restaurant, we've seen many recommendations online, and some of our members have mentioned it.

It's a pity we haven't been to Modu or Binyang, and haven't tasted the food there. Are the dishes you made available at your restaurant?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "We have an even greater variety of dishes at our restaurant."

The female judge was very excited and said, "Thank you so much, if we have time we'll definitely visit, today has been worth the trip."

After some small talk, Ling Zhenfei exchanged contact information with this female judge, named Anna, the person in charge of this operation.

Once everything concluded, a group of people rushed up to get autographs and photos with Ling Zhenfei. Luckily, there weren't many, and Ling Zhenfei catered to their requests one by one.

At this time, Ma Long came to the rescue and led Ling Zhenfei to a private room.

Inside the room were only Ling Zhenfei, Ma Long, and Cao Xueyi.

Ma Long ordered some drinks, and then brought up an old topic and said, "Brother Ling, you left too quickly, luckily I called you, or we wouldn't have found you."
