No matter whether it is or not, the necessary politeness cannot be omitted.
President Bai suppressed the questions in his heart.
"Brother Huang, I didn’t expect you to be the master behind Chef Ge!" President Bai imdiately put on a surprised expression and said to Huang Jun, "It’s truly an honor today to taste the Furong Flower Crab under your guidance. I must savor it well later..."
Huang Jun quickly waved his hand modestly, "President Bai, you flatter . I just gave a little suggestion, it’s not really guidance. It’s my honor to share a al with everyone here today."
As they were engrossed in conversation,
Chef Ge and others had already presented dish after dish, each color, aroma, and taste superb, on the table.
After serving the dishes, Chef Ge didn’t leave in a hurry. Instead, he stood eagerly beside Huang Jun, respectfully saying, "Master, these are my specialties. If you find anything lacking after tasting them, please let know, and I’ll strive to improve."
The word "Master" caught Wen Xueqian and Jiang Cuiping off guard.
They stared at Chef Ge in surprise, then quickly shifted their gaze to Huang Jun...
What exactly was happening?
Prior to this, Chef Ge always referred to Huang Jun as "Chef Huang". Why did he suddenly change to a respectful title like "Master"?
Such a dramatic change...
Completely caught people off guard.
In other words,
Is there so unknown story behind this?
What exactly prompted Chef Ge to change his address to Huang Jun so radically?
And does this "Master" an what they think it ans?
Does it an Chef Ge has accepted Huang Jun as his master?
President Bai was also taken aback.
He never expected that a man in his forties like Chef Ge would call a young man who is not yet thirty "Master".
If he hadn’t heard it personally, he could hardly have believed his ears.
In the culinary world, Chef Ge has a certain reputation and status, and his respectful address of Huang Jun clearly indicates he highly recognizes Huang Jun’s culinary skills.
It seems... Liu Shiwei’s earlier words weren’t unfounded...
At this mont...
Even President Bai didn’t dare to underestimate Huang Jun anymore.
Liu Shiwei watched the scene before him with a smile on his face.
One has to admit, this scene... was indeed very comical!
Especially the contrast between Chef Ge’s serious expression and Huang Jun’s bewildered look, it was enough to make one chuckle...
Listening to Chef Ge’s heartfelt "Master", Huang Jun couldn’t help but feel a bit overwheld. Fortunately, Chef Ge didn’t continue ntioning the matter of becoming his apprentice.
He cald himself, then said, "Uh, Ge... no, Old Ge, I don’t dare to presu ’guidance’. Let’s just enjoy these dishes together and share so insights."
"Alright, alright!"
Liu Shiwei interrupted their politeness, smiling as he said, "No need to be polite anymore, let’s eat first, otherwise, the dishes will get cold and won’t taste as good."
President Bai also laughed and agreed, "Right, co on, let’s pour so wine and open that bottle I brought. Let’s try Chef Ge’s dishes and then enjoy a few drinks."
Saying this, he turned to Huang Jun and asked, "Brother Huang, what do you drink? Is red wine okay?"
Before Huang Jun could respond, little Qingqing had already raised her cute little head and said in a childish voice, "Uncle, my daddy will drive later, so he can’t drink~!"
"Yeah, drinking and driving is a no-go, so Uncle, my daddy can’t drink~" Weiwei echoed with her bright big eyes blinking.
Whoa!
Such a young age and already knows the principle of "don’t drink and drive, don’t drive and drink", what a smart and sensible child!
Everyone found Qingqing and Weiwei adorable and sensible, amused by their words.
Huang Jun fondly patted Qingqing’s head, then looked lovingly at Weiwei, politely declining to President Bai, "President Bai, I’m really sorry, I still have to drive later, so I can’t drink. However, I look forward to tasting the red wine you brought, today I’ll just drink tea instead of wine and drink with you all."
President Bai nodded understandingly and laughed heartily, "It’s alright, since it’s inconvenient for you to drink, just drink tea instead. Old Liu and I will have a few drinks today."
"Yes! Brother Huang, since you can’t drink, have so more food!" Liu Shiwei said to Huang Jun with a smile, then turned to President Bai, "Old Bai, I’ll have a few glasses with you later, let’s have a good drink."
"Alright!"
President Bai agreed readily.
Liu Shiwei cheerfully called out, "Co, have so food! Try my place’s Chef Ge’s skills."
"Alright, let’s try it!"
President Bai eagerly reached with his chopsticks for the much-anticipated Furong Flower Crab and put it into his mouth.
First, he felt the ultimate tenderness of the crab at, the delicate texture slowly lting on his tongue, leaving a mouthful of sweet freshness.
Savoring it closely...
He could also detect a hint of ginger spiciness and the rich aroma of vinegar, which blended perfectly with the deliciousness of the crab at, adding a unique flavor to the dish.
The smooth texture of the egg perfectly complented the crab at.
During the cooking process, the egg fully absorbed the essence of fresh scallop paste and crab at, making every bite filled with a faint crab aroma, with the egg’s tenderness yet without losing the crab at’s freshness.
This made the texture of the whole dish rich in layers.
In terms of seasoning, it also showcased superb culinary skills.
The perfectly balanced seasoning not only did not overshadow the natural flavor of the ingredients but instead highlighted the deliciousness of the crab at, egg, and fresh scallop paste even more.
Every bite allowed the subtle balance and harmony between ingredients to be felt.
After tasting...
President Bai nodded in satisfaction and praised, "This Furong Flower Crab is so delicious! Every bite is just the right tenderness, the ocean’s freshness overflows in the mouth, making people enthralled, I simply can’t stop! Chef Ge, your skills have really improved a lot this ti, the taste of this Furong Flower Crab is absolutely better than any I’ve had before!"
Liu Shiwei also enjoyed it imnsely, wiping his mouth contentedly after finishing, "Yes, the taste of this Furong Flower Crab is indeed excellent, the crab at’s tenderness is beyond imagination, Chef Ge has really improved this ti, this dish is made too well!"
Hearing the two bosses’ praise, Chef Ge couldn’t help but grin, almost to his ears.
But he knew very well that the reason this dish could be so outstanding was entirely thanks to his master’s ticulous guidance.
He changed from his past high profile and said humbly, "The reason this Furong Flower Crab is so delicious is mainly due to my master’s guidance. With just a little tip from him, my dish instantly improved a lot."
Listening to Chef Ge frequently addressing him as "Master", Huang Jun’s head started throbbing again.
He clearly didn’t agree to accept him as a disciple, so why did Chef Ge just start calling him "Master" on his own?
And so fluently, so naturally!
Besides, what virtue and ability does Huang Jun have to be worthy of such a respectful title...
Isn’t this overwhelming for him?
But he was too embarrassed to tell Chef Ge not to call him that in front of so many people, lest he embarrass Chef Ge, leaving him with no choice but to respond with an awkward yet courteous smile.
"Wow, truly impressive!"
President Bai nodded in praise, then looked at Huang Jun with a hint of curiosity and respect, asking, "Brother Huang, if I may boldly ask, how did you guide Chef Ge to make his Furong Flower Crab so outstanding?"
Huang Jun modestly said, "Actually, there’s nothing special. I just suggested to Old Ge that he swish so vinegar along the edge of the wok before serving to add a touch of vinegar aroma, enhancing the dish’s flavor layers."
A glint of admiration appeared in President Bai’s eyes, "Just that little trick elevated the flavor of the Furong Flower Crab, Brother Huang, you are indeed impressive!"
Huang Jun quickly waved his hand, "Not at all, President Bai, you’re overpraising. Actually, it’s mainly because of Chef Ge’s superb skills. The Furong Flower Crab he originally made was already excellent. My little trick was just the finishing touch, slightly enhancing the taste."
"It’s still your excellent guidance, Master, without your suggestion, this Furong Flower Crab wouldn’t have been so perfect." Chef Ge looked gratefully at Huang Jun.
President Bai watched the interaction between the two, growing more respectful of Huang Jun’s culinary skills and character.
Looking at the plate of Furong Flower Crab that had almost been completely eaten, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he made up his mind.
If you’re moved...
Then act on it!
