Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 546 God of Cooking
After waiting a long time, diners finally saw the Universe Infinity Canteen reopen for business in the second week after the New Year holiday.

Although Malu was only closed for more than half a month, for those gourmets who come to the restaurant every week or even every day, it feels like ten thousand years have passed.

Especially now that many restaurants’ New Year’s Eve dinners have become pre-prepared dishes, this makes everyone miss the aroma of the wok in the Universe Infinity Canteen even more.

Many people also complained that Boss Ma did not want to make money but insisted on going home for the New Year.

Not only does he do that during the Chinese New Year, he also shares the dishes that Lao Wang cooks every day on his WeChat Moments, which makes people who can't get to eat them complain.

As a result, the restaurant’s ingredients were sold out by around 3 p.m. on the first day of the new year, before the evening even arrived. This was even though Malu had temporarily added servings of its signature dishes.

I can only say that everyone’s enthusiasm or resentment is too high.

Ma Lu also specifically told He Xiaoqian and Ma Youyou to keep a close eye on the food so that no one would miss out on food and eat the corners of the restaurant table out of hunger.

So He Xiaoqian really kept an eye on the corner of the table the whole time. In comparison, Ma Youyou was more aware of some people's jokes and just laughed them off.

Seeing that all the items were sold out, Malu planned to close early.

Unexpectedly, two more guests came in from outside the door, one old and one young.

The fashionable young woman said, "Mr. Sun, this is the recently popular Universe Infinity Canteen. Less than two months after opening, it was included in the list by Meiping.com and given the highest score in history, 4.6 points."

"And unlike Yanfu and Sushigami Hajime, which also scored 4.6 points, they scored full marks on items related to the dishes, and the points were deducted for the decoration and service."

"You can also try it this time."

He Xiaoqian went over and said, "I'm sorry, the restaurant is out of food."

"It's okay, we can wait for dinner." The old man with a cane said, "You don't mind if we sit here for a while."

"Actually, I do mind it a little bit," Malu said, "mainly because dinner is sold out and we're ready to close."

"But it's not evening yet." the fashionably dressed woman asked in surprise.

"Ah, because business was so booming, I accidentally sold out all the ingredients for dinner at noon." Malu spread his hands.

The old man was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he laughed and said, "Well, it is worthy of being the most popular restaurant in the entire B city recently. It seems that everyone has sharp eyes."

"What should we do, Mr. Sun? Shall we come back to eat tomorrow?" said the young woman.

"No need to eat." The old man said, "Although Meiping.com is becoming more and more outrageous, their rating system is still fair.

"Not to mention that Xiao Wang and Xiao Wei also gave their ratings this time. The fact that they both praised this restaurant highly shows that the chef of this restaurant is really skilled. Just post it directly."

"Post, what post?"

The fashionably dressed young woman took out a gold-stamped invitation from her bosom and handed it over.

Malu took the invitation from her and saw seven large and flamboyant characters written on the cover: "Invitation to the MasterChef Contest".

Malu returned the invitation without even opening it.

The fashionably dressed young woman was stunned for a moment, "This is for you."

"I know, I don't want it." Malu said.

"what?"

The fashionable young woman thought Malu had misunderstood something, and hurriedly explained, "Our competition is not a sham competition, but a formal competition hosted by the World Culinary Federation, held every six years. "The competition is divided into five major competition areas, and each competition area will invite the top local chefs to participate. The top two will enter the finals and compete for the title of the ultimate chef."

"And so, what does this have to do with me?" Malu put his hands on his hips.

"That's... the God of Cooking, the supreme title that all chefs aspire to obtain."

"Really? But it sounds a bit childish, just like Luffy yelling in the anime that he wants to be the Pirate King. Is there really anyone who would say that he is a cooking god when introducing himself?"

The fashionable young woman wanted to say something but was interrupted by the old man who raised his hand and looked at the millipede with a smile.

"I wonder if we'll be lucky enough to meet the chef here?"

"Of course you can," Malu shouted to the kitchen, "Old Wang, someone wants to see you."

After a while, Lao Wang walked out of the restaurant.

The old man took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "You are the chef here. My two apprentices always mention you wherever they go. The association is full of discussions about you."

Lao Wang has watched a lot of TV dramas and now has a certain understanding of social etiquette between humans. Seeing this, he also stretched out his hand and shook hands with the old man.

However, looking at the old man's twitching eyebrows, Malu knew that Lao Wang was using too much strength.

I understand it, but not completely.

However, the old man's temperament and self-restraint were quite good. Although he was pinched and it hurt, he still forced a smile and said, "Chef Wang, right? Your hands are quite strong. It seems that you have practiced knife skills a lot."

A fashionable young woman at the side also introduced, "This is Sun He, Senior Sun, he is our national treasure-level cooking master.

"He was the former head chef of the state banquet at the Great Hall of the People and a recipient of the May 1st Medal. He has prepared dinners for many leaders and foreign guests. He is now the president of the Asia region of the World Culinary Federation and a judge of this chef competition."

Her introduction was like winking at a blind man.

Neither Malu nor Lao Wang are insiders. Just from hearing the long string of titles that Sun He had, Malu at least understood him as the state banquet chef. As for how much Lao Wang understood, it is unknown.

So the fashionably dressed young woman waited for a while but received no exclamation from the other side.

Ma Lu said, "This is Lao Wang, um, the chef of the Universe Infinite Canteen, a cosmic chef."

The fashionable young woman was a little unhappy. "Do you really have to suppress us? Why, the earth can't accommodate you, and you're bringing the universe into the mix?"

Sun Hedao waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Young people should be more energetic. If he didn't have the confidence that no one else can do it better than me, I wouldn't have invited him to participate in the competition.

"This is about representing the country and competing with chefs from other countries."

"Don't go."

Malu still has the same attitude. To participate in this kind of competition, one must register his identity, and Lao Wang is an illegal resident.

"Why, are you afraid? Are you afraid that after losing, the popularity of the restaurant will drop and affect future business?" Sun He said, "That's right, as long as you don't compete, you will never lose."

"Provocation doesn't work on me," Malu shook his head. "Besides, Lao Wang is invincible. If you don't believe me, you can wait until the champion is decided and then invite him to my place for a meal to feel the difference."

Sun He looked at Lao Wang who had remained silent, "So what do you mean?"
