Yang Huairen was also secretly observing the reactions of the Khitan nobles upstairs around him, and found that the people on Xiao Dabuhe's side were noisy, while Yelu Yanxi's side was diametrically opposed, Yelu Yanxi didn't speak, and the people around him didn't react too violently.

Yelu Chun's side was purely watching the excitement, and he also paid attention to Xiao Da Buhe and Yelu Yanxi on the other two floors from time to time, as if he was waiting to see their excitement.

Yang Huairen thought about it and seemed to have a preliminary judgment that Yelu Yanxi was the current crown prince, and the Xiao Dabuhe family was powerful, and it seemed that he was dissatisfied with Yelu Yanxi.

And although Yeluchun was not very close to either of them, he did not help anyone, and even preferred them to fight, and he could benefit from it.

Yang Huairen felt that the Khitan nobles who came to see the ring today to test their cooking skills should be more representative, and the competition for the throne of Liao was still between the Yelu clan and the Xiao clan.

Within the Yelu family, there are also different forces, thus forming a three-legged situation, these three forces, all have a strong family background behind them, and they also actually have a certain amount of military power in the Liao State.

The competition between Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Dabuhe may be on the surface, while Yelu Chun is relatively quiet in this competition, but this does not mean that his heart is also quiet, maybe he has a better chance of winning by putting himself in the posture of a challenger.

Yang Huairen was pondering, but he didn't expect that there was really a challenger standing in the ring, this time it was a Khitan man of ordinary stature, compared to the previous bastard who was going to fight, this one was more like a cook.

This person looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, his face looked very confident, and he didn't have the barbaric and arrogant energy of the Khitans. ”

Yang Huairen replied, "It's down there." ”

The man introduced himself, "His name is Yelu Chara, and he is the second chef of Weiyuan Building, the largest restaurant in Zhongjing. ”

Yang Huairen saw that this person was polite, and he also said kindly, "Don't dare to ask for advice, everyone is a peer, it's okay to have a discussion." ”

Seeing the lively crowd, there was finally a genuine chef from Zhongjing who stood up to challenge, and he was also the second chef of Weiyuan Building, the largest restaurant in Zhongjing, so they all sent applause to Yelu Chara.

Yang Huairen has only been in Zhongjing for two days, and he has never been to Weiyuan Tower, but he has heard of it from the Khitan reception officials of Wanguo Temple.

There are seventy-two famous buildings in the city of Tokyo in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Khitan people feel that there should also be some famous restaurants in Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, so that they can be compared with the Great Song Dynasty, so they also selected seventy-two famous buildings from the many restaurants in Dading Mansion.

It's just that although the area of Zhongjing City is about the same as that of Tokyo City, the scale and population of the city are far from comparable, so most of the seventy-two buildings in Zhongjing City are not worthy of the name, and there are only about 20 decent ones, and most of the others are afraid of losing the face of the Khitan people and barely make up the number.

Among the more than 20 famous buildings in Zhongjing City, in fact, most of them are also opened by Han people, and the chefs invited are also Han people, and the people in the city also give them an order according to their own preferences, and Weiyuan Building is the head of the seventy-two famous buildings in Zhongjing City.

Han cooks opened restaurants in Zhongjing City to do business, and naturally accepted many Khitan people as apprentices, and this Yelu Chara should be the best among Khitan cooks.

What's more, he can be the second chef in Weiyuan Building, the first place in Zhongjing, which also shows his personal strength.

Of course, Yang Huairen is not even afraid of the chefs of the Great Song Dynasty, let alone the Khitan cooks, this is not blind arrogance, it is the same reason as an adult and a three-year-old child wrestling their wrists, it is not to discriminate against him, it is that he is impossible to be an opponent.

However, Yang Huairen appreciates Yelu Chara's self-confidence, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and it seems that what he said is not wrong.

He asked, "I wonder how this chef Jeruchara is going to compete?" ”

Yelu Chara smiled slightly, he was very polite on the surface, as for what he had done, he knew very well in his heart that some of the rumors that slandered and despised Yang Huairen came from him.

As a Khitan, in his ideology, no matter what he does, he must be stronger than the Han people, although his master is a Han person.

The reason why the Khitan people can't cook in the cognition of the Han people is also because the Khitan people have been nomadic in the northern grasslands for a long time, and they do not have the unique natural resources that the Han people have in the south.

Because the Han people are rich in the production of various ingredients for agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, they are temporarily more experienced than the Khitans in the skills of making food.

Yelu Chara believed that as long as he could learn the cooking skills of the Han people in an orthodox way, and if the Liao army could go south and annex the Central Plains, the Khitans would also have a more diverse food source, and the level of food production would definitely be higher than that of the Han people.

However, Yelu Chara believes that after more than ten years of cooking learning, although he is still the second chef of Weiyuan Building, he is already blue compared to his big chef father, and Yang Huairen is mostly because of the existence of his status factor, and others also call him a young chef god for the purpose of flattering him.

In his heart, Yang Huairen really didn't stand up to the harassment of those gossips, and finally couldn't help but stand up and compete with the famous chefs in Zhongjing to try his cooking skills, and this was his biggest opportunity to become famous.

He came to fight this time, just to frustrate Yang Huairen's prestige in front of everyone, and snatch the name of the kitchen god by the way, and at the same time, it can also allow him to laugh at the Song Dynasty and the Han people more unscrupulously in the future.

His master originally wanted to prevent him from participating in this ring competition to test his cooking skills, the reason is very simple, Yang Huairen will definitely not be as unworthy of the name as Yelu Chara thought, since he can be famous, there must be his reason, Yang Huairen's cooking skills must be extraordinary.

Although Yelu Chara is arrogant, he is not a stupid person, although he has all kinds of disdain for Yang Huairen, but he understands in his heart that Yang Huairen should still have a certain level of cooking skills, which is by no means comparable to ordinary little chefs.

It's just that he heard that Yang Huairen is the best at seasoning, and there are several top-secret seasonings that other chefs don't have, so if he wants to compete with Yang Huairen in the most basic cooking, he is afraid that he will lose in those secret condiments.

So he thought about it for a long time, and also thought of a way, just like the Han people have a story called Tian Ji horse racing, that his strongest point is compared with Yang Huairen's weakness.
