Chapter 0005: A Sea Urchin
In this way, Liao Jie essentially owes Bo Zai a significant favor, and it is likely that in the future he will pass on a few exceptional skills to him. With the guidance of two top chefs, Su Ziwen and Liao Jie, Bo Zai's culinary journey is bound to be smoother ahead. Ultimately, good people will be rewarded.
Please have the driver take care of the patient here. I will take a taxi with Bozai to inform Master Liao, asking him to come over immediately after the match ends. It is also possible to notify him by phone, but Shen Long vaguely felt that it would be better for him to handle it in person.
Really? Upon hearing this, Liao Jie was so delighted that his hands trembled slightly
Upon leaving, they hailed a taxi to rush to the competition venue. During the ride, Bozai still felt a lingering fear about the situation, saying, "Thanks to Mr. Shen for making this trip; otherwise, the consequences could have been severe"
I am truly grateful to all of you. Shen Long finally felt relieved; this task was successfully completed. He hurriedly presented the gifts he had just asked Bo Zai to buy for the doctors and nurses. Then he went to the ward to take a glance; Lin Chang was currently sleeping, and two nurses were holding the child beside her.
Oh, this is our prized possession, a dried abalone handcrafted by Mr. Tamura Riki, a master of Japanese net abalone production, " Liao Jie said proudly
Upon learning of Shen Long's identity as an overseas compatriot, the hospital naturally provided a green light, promptly sending Lin Chang to the emergency room. After conducting an examination, they informed Shen Long, "Fortunately, she was brought in on time; we can proceed with the cesarean section immediately. If it had been one or two hours later, the child would likely not have been saved."
The surgery was completed very smoothly, and both mother and child are safe. Once the effects of the anesthesia wear off, Ms. Lin will be able to wake up. The child is currently being cared for by the nurses, so there is no need for you to worry
Then let's proceed with the surgery quickly. Ms. Lin's husband may not arrive in time. If you need money, I will pay first. You must use the best medicine and the best doctors.
The driver is an experienced one, having traveled this road again yesterday. There were not many cars on the roads of the 1980s, so there was no issue of traffic congestion. It did not take much time to reach Huadu Hospital.
However, compared to this championship, what made him even happier was the birth of his child. "Born on the day I won the championship, this child is destined to become a renowned chef!"
After understanding the course of events, Liao Jie expressed his profound gratitude to Shen Long, Bo Zai, and the driver, repeatedly inviting them to dinner at Yangzhou Lou the following day
Of course, of course. Liao Jie was so excited that he could hardly speak clearly
For a chef of Liao Jie’s caliber, in this realm, one would have to spend at least 10,000 to 20,000 yuan for a meal, even if it were the cheapest option. If one calculates it this way, just based on this meal, I would not be at a loss for this mission.
This time, there was no unexpected phone call to disturb Liao Jie's peace of mind. His soup-filled yellow croaker was successfully completed and presented to the judges and reporters along with Long Kunbao's sea dragon pearl. Shen Long was also fortunate enough to taste a couple of bites.
The next day, the three of them arrived at Yangzhou Tower as scheduled. Liao Jie took out his full set of skills and selected several classic dishes from the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast for them to enjoy, nearly causing Shen Long and the others to swallow their tongues in delight
In the center of the venue, the Crystal Great Wall of Longkunbao radiated brilliance, while Liao Jie’s tofu sculpture of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea was lifelike. This was a firsthand close encounter, far surpassing the crude image quality of the old films from the 1990s. Shen Long stared wide-eyed, unable to regain his composure for quite some time; this culinary skill was truly extraordinary.
Oh dear, I suppose I will have to wait until next time, as I am about to fly to another place. I really want to eat a palm-sized universe, the strength to lift mountains and rivers, and the golden-eyed fire brain, but unfortunately, I have to leave soon
This is only natural; our compatriots overseas are so enthusiastic, and we certainly cannot fall behind. The doctor repeatedly assured and quickly arranged for the surgery to be performed by the doctors
"Alright, you two may go ahead." Yesterday, Shen Long had given him quite a generous tip, and the driver was now completely obedient to him, promptly agreeing.
"Master Liao, congratulations!" The judges of the Longkunbao competition also rushed over upon hearing the news, repeatedly offering their congratulations. As a result, the competition was temporarily halted. After more than ten minutes, the competition resumed only after Liao Jie had calmed down.
Huadu Hospital is the best hospital in the area, and a cesarean section is not a particularly difficult surgery. After a flurry of activity, Lin Shang successfully gave birth to a boy weighing eight pounds
Indeed, otherwise Liao Jie would not be able to keep his child, and his wife would leave him as well. "Hey, it's not just my effort and that of the library; if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to get Ms. Lin into the car by myself. If it weren't for the driver’s assistance, we wouldn't have arrived at the hospital so quickly"
The legendary abalone? Shen Long's eyes lit up
Even so, Liao Jie still felt a bit embarrassed, "It is indeed a bit rushed, and some dishes took too long to prepare. Today, I am unable to provide a tasting for a few of you. However, it is not a problem; I have already arranged for someone to source the ingredients. In a few days, I will invite a few of you to enjoy a proper meal."
Rejecting Liao Jie's plea to stay, Shen Long prepared to leave. As he walked to the lobby, he suddenly noticed a delicate box placed in the center of the hall. "Hmm? What is this?"
Quickly took out the camera and snapped several photos, only then remembering the main purpose of this trip. I pulled Bozai over to Liao Jie and said, "Master Liao, congratulations! Just now, Ms. Lin gave birth to a healthy baby boy, weighing 8 pounds and 6 ounces, both mother and child are safe!"
Bo Zai hurriedly stepped forward and, along with Shen Long, carefully lifted Lin Chang and carried her downstairs to the car, not even bothering to tidy up the door before rushing to the hospital
Moreover, Master Liao infused his joyful emotions into this dish. After tasting it, I seemed to experience that same feeling of joy. The winner of this round should be Master Liao Jie! The judges, in turn, provided even higher praise.
The rich soup and ingredients inside the fish dissolve due to the heat, and when the chopsticks cut into the fish, the pearl-like soup balls flow out slowly, truly both visually appealing and delicious. Shen Long contentedly closed his eyes
Long Kunbao was thoroughly impressed after tasting the dish and actively applauded Liao Jie. The competition concluded with Liao Jie emerging victorious, thereby retaining the title of the world's number one chef.
Hmm, Master Liao, you must treat us this time! Just now, Shen Long reminded Bo Zai in the car, but he did not mention the matter of the hospital, so as not to worry Liao Jie
After completing the task, Shen Long could stay in this world for one more day, so he readily agreed. Such an opportunity to have a renowned chef cook for him was rare in his own realm
After about ten minutes, the taxi stopped outside the competition venue. Shen Long presented his press credentials and smoothly brought Bo Zai inside. Just as they entered, it coincided with the end of the second knife-fighting match, just like in the movies
