Really can’t figure out this kid, day in and day out, who knows what’s going on in his head!
"Hey, I was just saying, Lao Jia, why are you getting so worked up?"
Seeing Jia Dequan in such an exasperated state, almost jumping up and down, Jiang Yu was startled. He quickly got up to help Lao Jia sit back down, then filled his cup with hot water, comforting him by saying,
"This thing isn’t even settled yet, and besides, I don’t know if I’ll have the ti..."
Seeing Jia Dequan about to jump up again, Jiang Yu swallowed hard and quickly smiled apologetically, saying,
"If I have the ti then, I’ll definitely go, I must bring back an ’Culinary Artist’ honorary title, is that good enough now?"
"If you have the ti, go out and et more master chefs and see how others are cooking, it can only be good for you, not bad."
Jia Dequan took a big sip from his tea, his previously excited emotions gradually calming down, and he said,
"Don’t think that these honorary titles are so easy to get. It’s not just about the taste of the dishes.
For example, the honorary title of Huaxia Cooking Master has quite stringent criteria. It not only has age and working years requirents but also demands advanced skill titles or the ’Huaxia Cooking Talent’ title.
And that’s just the basic requirents! Beyond that, there are theoretical and technical demands, any of which isn’t easily achieved by an average person.
You’re still far from being a true master!"
"Yes, yes, you’re right!"
Jiang Yu knew he had really ticked off the old man this ti, so he didn’t dare to argue, nodding repeatedly and saying,
"That’s exactly why I shalessly kept you around, otherwise, who else would I learn from?"
"Enough with the nonsense!"
Jia Dequan glared at Jiang Yu, muttering while pouting,
"What do you an you kept around, I shalessly wanted to stay myself, who could resist my cravings?"
...
After chatting idly with Jia Dequan for a while, Jiang Yu returned to the kitchen upstairs.
As for what Jia Dequan said about the Famous Chef Committee planning to invite him to a culinary show, he took note but didn’t quite take it seriously.
After all, up until now, he’d only heard it from Jia Dequan but hadn’t received any notice from anyone in the committee.
This ans that the matter is still uncertain!
So, he’d rather not worry about it and wait until there’s an official notice.
There were still four tables of guests tonight, but the workload was much less than during lunch. When Jiang Yu returned to the kitchen, Du Guangning and Pei Guofu were preparing while chatting, lightening the atmosphere.
Seeing Jiang Yu return, Du Guangning greeted with a smile,
"Boss, you’re back. Two pretty girls ca looking for you just now, I said you weren’t here, so they left."
"Didn’t they say anything else?"
"Not really, they were wearing masks, so I couldn’t recognize them, probably haven’t seen them before."
Du Guangning thought for a mont, suddenly recalling sothing, looking enlightened, and quickly added,
"Oh right, they said they’d co back to find you later."
"Oh, okay, I got it."
Jiang Yu nodded. With Du Guangning’s hint, he had an idea. Most likely, one of the girls looking for him was Liu Xining, but he wasn’t sure about the other one.
Originally, Xie Siqi was also here, but she was called back by her agent in less than three days, saying there was a variety show for her to attend.
The reluctance Xie Siqi showed almost made her cry. Ultimately, Jiang Yu, unable to bear it, gave her a full box of butterfly pastries.
Butterfly pastries are a Shanghai specialty and a popular European snack, nad for their butterfly-like shape.
As a Shanghai local, Xie Siqi grew up eating butterfly pastries a lot and naturally loved this dessert to the core. So when she held a big box of Jiang Yu’s handmade butterfly pastries, her smile was so bright, almost hugging Jiang Yu.
Of course, besides the box of butterfly pastries, Jiang Yu also gave her three bottles of homade fruit wine. It’s the kind of soft drink that no girl would dislike.
After Xie Siqi left, Liu Xining and a few assistants were the only ones staying with Pan Jingchen.
But up until now, Jiang Yu hadn’t seen Pan Jingchen, only knowing that she quite liked his cooking.
When she first ca, Pan Jingchen wasn’t interested in any food, even a little would upset her stomach. But just a few days at Jiang University, and she was already asking for food actively.
This indicated that Pan Jingchen’s condition was starting to show signs of improvent.
Jiang Yu was quite surprised at this change in Pan Jingchen, but he had been so busy recently, with no ti to pause.
Otherwise, he’d want to study carefully whether there’s so special effect in his cooking or if Pan Jingchen and Wu Wenle’s situation was just a coincidence?
After bustling in the kitchen for a while, seeing it was nearly four, Jiang Yu intended to start preparing the cold dishes when Yan Tongtong suddenly ca walking from down the corridor. Her bright eyes shining with excitent, she said to him,
