"Alright, stop complaining. There's still time, so let's figure out a solution quickly." Looking at the gloomy Rocco, Old Man Luo said. Originally, Old Man Luo wanted to take action to solve the problem, but after thinking about it, he sighed inwardly. After all, he lost the food war yesterday, and the demand was that he retire from the culinary world, so he was powerless to do so now.

"What else can we do?" To be honest, time is tight, and now this has happened, so my mind is in a mess.

"How about we use the shumai from the last competition?"

"That definitely won't work."

""

After seeing this happen, everyone became anxious and tried to come up with solutions, but the results were not ideal. Seeing that the plates on other people's plates were being stacked higher and higher, they became even more anxious.

Using the shumai made in the previous year would definitely not be very effective, since this type of shumai has been on the restaurant menu for four years, so it's definitely not going to work.

"How about we make some now, and then serve them as soon as we come up with a new style of shumai?"

After failing to think of a solution, someone suggested that although it had been suggested before, there was no other way now. They couldn't just stand there and wait like idiots. At least they could make some plates and accumulate some quantity. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to have no plates at all.

Just as Old Luo was feeling down, he glanced around and saw Su Luo idly playing on her phone. His eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.

In fact, Su Luo knew perfectly well that the reason she came here was because of this old man, not because of the academy's arrangement. After all, there was nothing worth sending Su Luo to in such a place. But who could have known that such a master was hidden in such a place?

If Su Luo knew about this, she would definitely be disgusted by the old man's lack of respect for elders; she'd be lucky if she didn't beat him to death.

In a place like this, let's not talk about anything else for now. Although I don't know if the other people are enthusiastic, Su Luo's life here is really not good.

"Young friend Su Luo," Old Man Luo said with a smile as he walked towards Su Luo, seemingly thinking of something.

Old Luo's smirking face sent chills down Su Luo's spine. She rubbed her arms and waved her hand, sensing that nothing good was coming. Even her way of addressing him changed instantly. She said, "No, old man, we're not making an appointment."

"Last night," seeing Su Luo's expression, Old Man Luo knew she was refusing, so he used his ultimate move and said meaningfully.

Chapter 265 Su Luo Makes a Move

Looking into Old Luo's deep eyes and hearing his sensitive words, Su Luo's heart tightened instantly.

"Do I need to say anything more? I've installed a camera." Old Luo grinned lewdly and said.

"Okay, okay, go ahead and say it." Well, now that things have come to this point, what else can Su Luo say? He slapped himself helplessly in the face. Why hadn't he thought about the camera issue? He really wasn't suited to be a secret agent. But what the hell is a secret agent anyway? Isn't it just about tracking people?

Old Luo didn't say anything, he just glanced in that direction.

"I know, I know, honestly, your shop is the most disgusting shop I've ever been to." Seeing this situation, it would be strange if she didn't know what was going on. Su Luo felt like she owed them something in her past life. She hadn't been happy since she came here, and she felt like she was surrounded by malice. She couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, what other ingredients do you have?" Su Luo walked over to them, not really liking them, and asked.

"What?" After hearing Su Luo's words, everyone who was thinking subconsciously looked over in this direction.

"I'm asking if you have anything else here that can be used as filling for shumai." Seeing their confused looks, Su Luo felt that it was less effort to talk to smart people.

"What do you want to do?" Seeing that the place was already chaotic enough, and then Su Luo coming over to say these inexplicable things, he felt even more irritated.

"What else can we do? Of course, we'll make new shumai!" Su Luo said, looking at them as if they were idiots.

"Kid, don't cause trouble, okay?"

"Although I know you're a student of Totsuki Academy, it's impossible to make shumai as delicious as this in a short time."

""

Seeing their chatter, Su Shilu didn't know whether to laugh or get angry. What was this nonsense? Whether they could do it or not, they would know once they tried. It was better than them standing here like idiots. Sure enough, people from the same store couldn't possibly have the same temper. Birds of a feather flock together. She was too naive. She originally thought it was just a few individuals targeting her.

Looking at their expressions, Su Luo wanted to turn around and leave immediately. Being assigned to this internship was like eating shit. Damn it, I didn't take anything from you or eat anything from you. I'm working for you for free and you still treat me like this. If I can't afford to offend you, I can at least avoid you.

Just as Su Luo was about to turn around and leave because she couldn't take it anymore, Old Man Luo's voice came over: "Shut up! Since you can't do anything, let others try. What kind of behavior is this, making a scene like a vegetable market? Aren't you ashamed? So many people are watching."

"If you don't have the ability, don't shout here. Let others try." After Old Luo said this, the noisy atmosphere immediately quieted down. Everyone lowered their heads, their faces red, ashamed and not knowing what to say.

"Young friend Su Luo, I'm counting on you." After scolding them, Old Man Luo smiled like a chrysanthemum and said to Su Luo. Since Old Man Luo had asked Su Luo to come, he naturally knew Su Luo's abilities. He had no doubt that Su Luo could make better shumai than Luo Ke. How could he not know how capable his son was?

"There are no ingredients here. I wonder if you could help me prepare some?" Su Luo said, suppressing her displeasure.

"You said."

"I want some seasonal vegetables, eggs, fresh shrimp, pork, and Jinhua ham oil. As for the dough, you can just use the ones that are already kneaded," Su Luo said without hesitation. These ingredients were all quite common, and as for Jinhua ham oil, it wasn't surprising that it could be sold in Japan with the continuous progress of the times.

After Su Luo finished speaking, several people went off to buy the items.

While they went to buy ingredients, Su Luo began preparing the tools for stir-frying them.

By this time, a long time had passed, and some shops had piled up tall porcelain plates, one after another, and the results looked quite good.

Seeing the piles of porcelain plates stacked high by others, Rocco felt quite nervous, while Su Luo simply had an indifferent attitude, since it was none of his business.

Not long after, several people rushed over. Su Luo didn't care whether they paid attention to her or not. Anyway, it wasn't her who was in a hurry. She said directly, "Wash the ingredients. Wash the vegetables and break them into small pieces. Only use the egg yolks and discard the egg whites. Chop the pork into minced meat and crush the shrimp meat into small pieces."

"Alright, everyone hurry up." Although Rocco was a little skeptical that Su Luo could cook anything good, what could he do now? Besides, even his father had spoken up, so he said to the others and then got straight to the task of preparing the ingredients.

After saying all that, Su Luo turned around and started fiddling with it, not caring whether they did it or not.

Su Luo put the steamer basket into the pot, and at the same time set up four large pots, turned on the fire, and poured a certain amount of Jinhua ham oil into each pot.

As the head chef, all you have to do is give the orders, and a good assistant will prepare the ingredients you need when you ask for them, so you can just focus on yourself.

"Are the vegetables ready? If they are, bring them over," Su Luo said to the person behind her who was preparing the ingredients after pouring oil into the pot.

Su Luo knew that the speed of processing the four ingredients would definitely differ depending on the method of preparation, and that the processing of vegetables was the simplest.

Su Luo poured the oil in at different times, choosing the right pot for the vegetables and then adding the vegetable pieces that had already been served, and starting to stir-fry them.

Just as Su Luo started stir-frying, the other ingredients were also brought out one after another. After checking that the heat in the pot was just right, she poured the three ingredients into three separate pots and stir-fried them.

In no time, the four ingredients were stir-fried. The vegetables were bright green, the shrimp meat was minced and bright red, the minced meat was fine and brown, and the egg yolk was golden yellow.

"What? Isn't it just ordinary?" Looking at the shumai that Su Luo made with dough after stir-frying the four ingredients, he couldn't help but mutter, seemingly not very satisfied.

Su Luo divided the dough into four portions, shaping each portion into a petal-shaped bowl. The three smaller portions joined together at the end, while the larger portion was filled with four different types of stir-fried ingredients.

Upon seeing this, a glint of light flashed in Old Man Luo's eyes.

Chapter 266 Passed

She quickly made several, each one almost identical, like clones. Su Luo lined the steamer with vegetable leaves and placed the prepared shumai on top. After a while, the shumai were steamed.

"These are the shumai I made. You should try them," Su Luo said, bringing out her finished shumai to everyone.

"Is this edible?"

"This seems pretty ordinary, doesn't it?"

"However, it looks pretty good."

""

As Su Luo brought out the shumai, everyone started discussing it.

While they were talking, Old Luo had already picked one up from the bowl, blew on it, and eagerly put it in his mouth. As he stirred it, the shrimp, though crushed, still retained its elasticity. The fresh vegetables were full of crisp texture, the egg yolk was soft and sweet, and the Jinhua ham was oily but not greasy. The four ingredients in different proportions melted together in his mouth, creating a balanced flavor that was so delicious that he wanted to eat more.

"These are really good shumai," Old Luo said as he reached for a second one with his chopsticks.

"Is it really that delicious?"

Seeing Old Man Luo's reaction, it seemed he really liked it, so Luo Ke and the others naturally wouldn't fall behind and started eating with their chopsticks.

"It's absolutely delicious!"

"I never imagined that such simple processing could produce such delicious food."

"It tastes much better than what the head chef makes."

""

Those who tasted Su Luo's shumai had their mouths stuffed full and kept praising Su Luo.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about? What do you mean it tastes much better than what I make?" Rocco said to the group with great dissatisfaction after hearing them speak ill of him.

"No, nothing," the group said after hearing Rocco's shout. They quickly covered their mouths to show that they hadn't said anything.

"Okay, to be honest, this dish is much better than mine. It's miles ahead of mine. I apologize for my rudeness before." Although Luo Ke was nice to Su Luo on the surface, he didn't really care about her. But now, eating Su Luo's shumai, he had to admit that Su Luo's was several times better than his own.

"This shumai may look simple, but it uses the best golden ratio: eight parts meat, five parts shrimp, five parts vegetables, and five parts eggs. It's a balanced ratio of eight to five with everything, which is the golden ratio of flavor. With this best ratio, you can make delicious shumai. It's really good." Old Luo said while stirring, clearly having seen through the trick.

"That's right. No matter how simple or complex a dish is, as long as you grasp the key points, you can make a delicious dish. And the key point of this dish lies in the golden ratio of ingredients." As expected of Old Man Luo, who can demonstrate such strength, Su Luo admires him very much. Although he himself has such a thing, he has never dared to use it. If he wants to be as free as Old Man Luo and the others, he must put in a lot of hard work and training.

"In that case, everyone, let's get started!" After understanding this, everyone divided the work and began mass production.

With everyone working enthusiastically, one after another, exquisite shumai were pushed out and served to diners. Although they were clearly lagging behind others in terms of production, everyone believed that with this dish, they would definitely be able to catch up with other shops.

As the event progressed rapidly, word spread quickly, attracting a large crowd and resulting in an ever-growing pile of empty plates.

thump~

Time flew by, and suddenly a familiar sound rang out, its deep yet resonant tone echoing throughout the surroundings, signifying the end of the competition.

"Phew~ We're finally free." Only then could the group, covered in sweat, stop what they were doing and take a break. Although it was already autumn and winter, they were still working hard and exhausted.

Soon, people from all the shops gathered at the center of the event, where a stage stood and the host was waiting for the final tally. People from all the shops stood at the front, while tourists gathered at the back. The dense crowd looked incredibly lively.

As the host received the list of results and announced the final outcome, there were no surprises whatsoever; Rocco ultimately won the championship.

Upon reaching this point, Su Luo felt it was enough and didn't read any further, heading straight back to her room.

Rocco, standing on the champion's stage with the trophy in hand, originally wanted to invite Su Luo up to receive the award together, since Su Luo was the one who helped him win this time. However, he couldn't find Su Luo.

That concludes the matter.

"Thank you so much." At the hotel entrance, Old Man Luo, Luo Ke, and others were seeing Su Luo off.

"No, I should be thanking you for taking care of me," Su Luo said.

"Well then, goodbye. Please come again when you have time."

"must."

Su Luo not only helped them win the trophy, but also left behind this champion dish, which became one of the restaurant's signature dishes.

Before even starting the next field internship, the task was already completed: "Perfectly pass one of the internships. There's always a first time in life. If you can't even do one well, what's the point of living?" (Completed)
