Chapter 202: The World’s Greatest Noodle King Tournament (2)
News of the Noodle King Tournament set not only Hanjung, but even Shanxi and Sichuan ablaze with excitement.
Renowned chefs from famous taverns and restaurants participated in droves.
The expenses to reach Hanjung were by no means small, yet they willingly endured the loss of their hard-earned money to participate.
The prize for the winner was simply that immense.
The winner would receive a prize of two hundred taels of silver, along with the glorious title of ‘Master Chef’. Moreover, the restaurant that produced the champion would be bestowed with the prestigious ‘Three-Star’ rating – the equivalent of a Michelin Three-Star rating. How could anyone not covet such an honor?
‘Two hundred nyang is more than enough to build a ramen factory.’
Consequently, the current atmosphere within Hanjung was hot enough to be called a furnace.
Thanks to this, not only Master Jibbap Myao, but even the cleaning service, who had only ever eaten meals prepared by others their entire lives, decided to participate.
“Hmph, this time I’ll let you taste the simplified noodles of the Cheongjang Family’s secret recipe.”
“…So, why did you call me?”
“Why? I called you to taste it. Come on, hurry up.”
“Shut up! Let’s see what you made first. Look at that black stuff. Is this even edible?”
“It’s good for you! Good for men too.”
“That! Isn’t that poisonous mushroom over there? You boiled broth with that, didn’t you?”
“Medicine and poison are one! Don’t you know? Medicine and poison are originally one and the same.”
