Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "I really didn't expect Miss Watanabe to be so confident. I wonder if she has ever been to the great land of China?"

Watanabe Hideaki laughed and said, "What's there to go to in China? It's already full of chaos there, not as good as Japan."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Since you've never been to China, how do you know that Huaxia civilization has disappeared in China and has been inherited by Japan?"

Watanabe Hideaki said, "Of course, our newspapers often publish articles about China, I read them every time, and I also browse online frequently. I know everything about you."

Ling Zhenfei was surprised in his heart, it seemed the internet blockade about the great land of China was still ongoing, causing many people to have a lot of prejudice against it.

Ling Zhenfei once saw a report saying that if you interviewed people in the Midwest of the United States about their impression of China, they would say Chinese people have long hair tied up on top of their heads.

This is the power of the internet blockade. In the past, China was very backward because of its seclusion, but now this backwardness has likely shifted to other countries.

Many countries intentionally block the internet to leave their citizens with the impression that they are the strongest and other countries are very backward. This is why many countries are prejudiced against China.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said to Watanabe Hideaki, "Sometimes you really should go out and see the world. Isn't there a saying, 'hearing is deceit, seeing is believing'? It's good for you to take a look for yourself."

Watanabe Hideaki dismissively said, "What's there to see? Japan is the most developed country in Asia. Do I need to go anywhere else?"

Ling Zhenfei felt truly helpless, it seemed he would have to challenge this girl to change her impression.

This girl actually thinks everything in Japan is better than China. In that case, let me show her my strength and let her know the power of Chinese culture.

"Fine, you're amazing. If you refuse to look, then there's no need. Since Miss Watanabe is so confident, it seems like Miss Watanabe's cooking skills must be very strong."

Watanabe Hideaki slowly walked to the kitchen bar, put down what she was carrying, and said to Ling Zhenfei.

"No matter how strong my cooking skills are, they're definitely better than yours. Let me put it this way, no chef in your country can cook better than me. I have a title, called the number one Japanese Chinese food chef.

In fact, I could say I'm the number one in the world at Chinese food, because I've never met anyone who can compete with me in cooking."

Ling Zhenfei really thought Watanabe Hideaki was too arrogant, even to the point of being conceited. If she lived this way for too long, it would definitely ruin her in the future.

Ling Zhenfei wanted to enlighten this girl, so he said to Sima Mingying, "I'm not a chef, nor a culinary expert, I can't represent all Chinese chefs.

But I can represent the taste of most home-cooked meals in the great land of China. Anyway, I'm free today, so I'll use my Huaxia country cuisine to face this invincible Japanese Chinese food number one."

Watanabe Hideaki laughed and said, "You're really bold, but I'll play with you. I'm not interested in that set of Chinese stuff. Anyway, I won't hold back. Don't think just because you're a guest, I care about whose illness you're here to treat."

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Alright, then let's compete. How do you propose we compete?"

Watanabe Hideaki thought for a moment and said, "It's simple. We'll each make a dish and have someone taste them to see whose dish is better. How about that?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Alright, let's give it a try."

Seeing that the competition was finally about to begin, the people of the Watanabe Family were all cheering on the side, clearly hoping to embarrass Ling Zhenfei and dampen his momentum.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "So, tell me, what dish should we make?"

Watanabe Hideaki said, "Alright, since we're cooking, let's do something challenging, without a challenge I can't showcase my strength."

"Alright, what dish do you want to make?" Ling Zhenfei was naturally not afraid, as long as the judges were fair, he would fear no one with his culinary skills.

Watanabe Hideaki thought for a moment and said, "Let's make three dishes. Of course, they're all vegetable dishes. The first dish is braised prawns, the second dish is Kung Pao Chicken, and the third dish we can improvise."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Not bad, the two dishes you mentioned are typical Shandong cuisine, and the remaining dish is freestyle, not bad."

After saying that, Watanabe Hideaki laughed and said, "Mr. Ling, you really are an amateur. Kung Pao Chicken is clearly Sichuan cuisine, and you said it's Shandong cuisine. Haha, looks like your homestyle cooking isn't great."

After hearing that, Ling Zhenfei sneered inwardly. Kung Pao Chicken is very famous abroad, it can be considered the representative of Chinese food abroad. Plus, there are many Sichuan restaurants abroad, so many people think Kung Pao Chicken is Sichuan cuisine.

Actually, Kung Pao Chicken is authentic Shandong cuisine. It's included in Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Guizhou cuisine, and capital city cuisine, but Kung Pao Chicken was indeed invented in Shandong.

Ling Zhenfei didn't want to say more, so he said, "Alright, since that's the case, then let's start. But I want to know, who will be the judge?"

Watanabe Hideaki glanced around and said, "There are so many people here, can't they be our judges?"

Ling Zhenfei stood up and said, "But all these people are your family, and they'll be watching us cook. Do you think they'll make a fair judgment?"

Watanabe Hideaki paused for a while and said, "It's simple, we have a Blind Taste God at home who can make a fair judgment."

Ling Zhenfei was puzzled and said, "What is a Blind Taste God?"

Watanabe Hideaki said, "It's actually a blind person, although they can't see, they have great insight into food. So having them judge is very appropriate, at least it ensures fairness and justice."

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's start."

Watanabe Hideaki opened her small bag and took out a knife, which didn't look ordinary. The moment the knife was revealed, it seemed to shine.

Ling Zhenfei was shocked. Just from this knife alone, he knew it was no ordinary item.

Watanabe Hideaki picked up the knife and said while wiping it, "This knife was crafted by the famous Japanese knife maker Dongye Yang. Its size, weight, and dimensions are all perfect."
