Chapter 912 Preparing for the World Championship
Chapter 912 Preparing for the World Championship
"Chef Song, don't feel pressured by the sheer prestige this cookbook carries. Ultimately, it's still a cookbook. Its value lies in recreating the dishes it records."
"Otherwise, it would just be an antique that would be gathered in the dust."
After hearing what Ji Qinglin said, Song Chen was shocked. He didn't expect that she was so aware. While others regarded this cookbook as a treasure, she just treated it as a cookbook.
"You're right!" Song Chen let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile, "I'm too obsessed with formalities. No matter how great a recipe is, it's just a recipe. If its value isn't utilized, it's really just an antique."
"Chef Ji, I want to learn from you on this point."
Ji Qinglin smiled and said, "Chef Song, you're joking. Now you've come to terms with it. I'm looking forward to you recreating the dishes in it."
"I'm afraid this will be quite a challenge." Song Chen shook his head, his eyes determined. "But I'll try my best. I used to not think much about my own growth, but now... I have a goal again."
"Oh right!" Song Chen changed the subject, "Now that you have this cookbook, are you going to recreate one of the dishes at the World Championship?"
"Yes!" Ji Qinglin nodded. "A treasure like this shouldn't be hidden away. It should be shown to the world in all its splendor."
"Okay!" Song Chen's expression straightened up, and he was very supportive of Ji Qinglin's decision. "However, Xi Nian..."
"Don't worry about that. I'll share the recipe with him too."
When Song Chen heard this, his heart tightened, but when he thought of Ji Qinglin's open-mindedness, he felt relieved.
Ji Qinglin's vision was indeed bigger than he had imagined. In the World Championship, it was no longer an individual competition, but was related to the glory of the country.
"Chef Ji, the World Championship is just a few days away. During this time, I will fully cooperate with you to recreate the dishes in it." Song Chen's fighting spirit was ignited. "Then, you and Xi Nian will have a better chance of winning the World Championship."
"I heard that a lot of low-key chefs came to this world competition. Their cooking skills are far beyond imagination. If I were to participate this time, I wouldn't be sure to beat these guys."
Ji Qinglin understood the outcome. "It seems your three consecutive championships have already displeased many people. This time, you want to keep the championship in your own country."
"What a coincidence," Song Chen sighed. "In such a dire situation, you actually got the 'Dream Record of Beijing'. This must be a killer weapon given to you by your ancestors."
Ji Qinglin glanced at the "Dream Record of Beijing" on the table. Who said it wasn't!
This was the relic left to her by the village chief, and it was also the key to helping her win this world championship.
Ji Qinglin gave the recipe to Xi Nian and Song Chen, but not to anyone else. Although Li Shen's cooking skills were very high, he was still a bit impetuous. She would wait until after the cooking competition before sharing it with him.
Otherwise, if he knew the existence of the recipe and he was too outspoken, he might accidentally leak the information about the recipe. I'm afraid that many chefs would come to me without me even having to participate in the World Championship.
They will do anything to get this recipe, and no one knows where their bottom line is?
