Outside Mamy's, a bald middle-aged man looked at Sith agitatedly, and said, "Boss, submit the letter of challenge and issue a challenge to Mamy's. Our restaurant's business has doubled during this period, and our new customers are full of praise. The first place on the Soup Chart should belong to us."
"It's almost business hours now. It's not very good to submit a letter of challenge at this time …" The owner of Sith Restaurant, who was wearing a black chef's suit, held a letter of challenge in his hand with a hesitant expression.
The bald middle-aged man shook his head, and said, "No, there are so many customers here. They can be witnesses, and we have to tell everyone that our Sith Restaurant's freshwater seafood soup is the real first place on the Soup Chart. Only then can the Food Association rerank it."
"There are so many customers here, and they're still deceived by the wrong ranking on the Delicious Cuisine Chart. This is a ranking that belongs to us. These customers should be queuing outside Sith Restaurant. Boss, shouldn't we fight for our rights and make a sound?"
Sith looked at the hundreds of people queuing outside Mamy's and fell silent. Although Sith Restaurant's business was also very good now, it was still a far cry from Mamy's. If Sith Restaurant's business could reach this level, then he would have reached the peak of his life.
"Alright, let's go and submit the letter of challenge now. We'll have a fair duel to decide who's the real first place on the Soup Chart." Sith's gaze became determined, and he walked straight to Mamy's. The bald man quickly followed after him.
"Who are they? Are they here to cut the queue? "
The customers in the long queue looked curiously at the two people walking straight to the restaurant's entrance.
"Hmm? If I remember correctly, isn't that the owner of Sith Restaurant? What's he doing here? "
"Sith Restaurant's freshwater seafood soup is not bad. It's quite delicious."
"Yes, they're freshly caught freshwater seafood. The ingredients are solid, and the quantity is not small. Just the soup alone is indeed one of the rare delicacies in Chaos City."
Very soon, some people in the queue recognized Sith, and started discussing.
Sith came to the restaurant's door, and was about to knock.
The bell on the door rang, and the door opened from the inside.
Meg opened the door and saw a middle-aged man in a black chef's uniform with his hand raised. He asked curiously, "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Hello, Mr. Meg. I am the owner and head chef of Sith Restaurant, Sith." Sith extended his hand towards Meg.
"Hello, Boss Sith." Meg reached out and shook his hand. He remembered that the freshwater seafood soup, which was ranked second on the Soup Rankings, came from Sith Restaurant. This Boss Sith had rushed over aggressively, and it didn't seem like he was here to eat.
Sith retracted his hand, looked at Meg, and went straight to the point. "First of all, congratulations to your restaurant for dominating the six rankings in the last Delicious Cuisine Ranking. Today, I'm here to challenge you for the first place of the Soup Ranking. Your braised chicken and rice is indeed excellent, but I also think that my ancestral freshwater seafood soup is not inferior to any other soup. Therefore, I want to have a duel with you to determine the real number one on the Soup List. "
"Oh, so you're here to challenge me." Meg understood. Speaking of which, ever since he defeated the head chef of Ducas Restaurant, his reputation had spread far and wide. He hadn't been provoked or challenged for a while. He didn't expect someone to challenge him after dominating the six rankings. It really surprised him.
"Yes, this is the letter of challenge. Please accept it, Mr. Meg." Sith handed over the letter of challenge in his hand.
Meg hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the letter of challenge.
He didn't have a bad impression of this Boss Sith. People with skills would more or less have some pride. The first and second places were natural opponents. If they couldn't accept it, a duel would happen sooner or later.
He glanced at the letter of challenge. It was similar to what Sith had said before. With soup as the theme of the duel, a famous gourmet and the president of the Food Association would be invited to be the judges for a professional duel.
And the wager was the number one on the Soup Rankings.
To be honest, Meg didn't like this kind of meaningless challenge.
However, if he were to decline, it would inevitably weaken his prestige. He couldn't help but think about it for a while.
"Wow, he's actually here to challenge Mr. Mak! This Boss Sith is a little stubborn, isn't he? "
"The duel between the first and second places on the Soup Rankings feels like it'll be a very exciting duel."
"Speaking of which, after the 'Buddha jumps over the wall' was born, are there any other soups? If nothing goes wrong, it'll probably be a one-sided battle, right? "
When the customers heard Sith's words, they immediately started discussing.
The bald middle-aged man behind Sith looked at Mag, and sarcastically said, "Could it be that you are scared? If you don't dare to accept the challenge, as long as you explain it to the Food Association and ask them to change the Soup Rankings so that Sith Restaurant's freshwater seafood soup is ranked first, we won't force you to do anything. "
Sith looked at the bald man with some displeasure. However, this matter concerned the future of Sith Restaurant, so he didn't say anything. He looked at Meg and waited for his answer.
Meg looked at the bald man and smiled slightly. He folded the letter of challenge and smiled at Sith. "Since Boss Sith has invited me so kindly, I'll accept this letter of challenge. However, you're the one who issued the challenge, and you're the one who set the rules. I'll decide the time and place. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Sith was a little surprised by Meg's straightforwardness. He thought for a while and nodded.
"Then the time will be set at 4: 30 pm tonight. The duel will take place in front of Mamy's. My restaurant will open for business at 5 pm sharp, so I'll have to ask Boss Sith to start cooking earlier."
"Oh, right. There's one more thing I have to say in advance. The braised chicken and rice from before has been classified as a staple dish by me. I just released a soup called 'Buddha jumps over the wall' yesterday. Because this soup takes up to a day to cook, I won't be cooking it on the spot. I'll be making the finished product directly. I hope everyone knows."
Meg continued.
"A newly released soup?" Sith was even more surprised. The braised chicken soup from before had already been approved by the Food Association. He didn't expect Meg to abandon it and prepare a newly released soup to duel with him.
"Oh, about the wager, other than the first place on the Soup Rankings, I'd like to increase it a little," Meg said again.
Sith looked at Meg with some vigilance and asked, "Increase what?"
"The loser has to pay 10,000 copper coins," Meg said with a smile.
