The Cheat Emperor of the Culinary World Chapter 171 170: The Weasel Pays New Year's Visits to the Ch

Fu Yu was trying to balance both sides and was incredibly busy.

Zhao ng, however, was pleased to see this outco.

Getting personal guidance from Yao Shi was a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity.

It was sothing people usually begged for, sothing Zhao ng almost wanted to push Fu Yu towards Yao Shi and tell him to stay there.

But Yao Shi, being the head chef, didn't personally cook a lot of the ti.

So the opportunities for Fu Yu to learn were also few and far between.

Fu Yu cherished this very much.

Especially just after earning the title of Artisan Chef and getting Yao Shi's personal guidance.

Who knows when he might get lucky again?

With this thought, Fu Yu beca even more motivated.

He was busy and bustling around.

After the al rush.

The staff gathered a few dishes, and everyone got together to eat.

As Fu Yu followed Zhao ng to the dining hall, they happened to walk in on Yao Shi talking to Wang Chengfeng about making Shunde Fish Sashimi earlier at noon.

When Wang Chengfeng saw Fu Yu, he smiled and said, "Xiaofu is really impressive. Not only with the hot kitchen, but he also does great work in our cold kitchen, truly talented."

Then he turned to Zhao ng and said, "Old Zhao, you must nurture him well! A promising talent like this must not go to waste."

Zhao ng, who knew the whole story by now, felt proud and smiled smugly, thinking: Of course, Fu Yu is being grood as my successor.

Recalling Li Shuli's previous praises of Fu Yu, Wang Chengfeng joked, "Xiaofu, if you ever feel slighted working under Chef Zhao, just co over to our cold kitchen! We would warmly welco you, rember that!"

While they were joking around, Gu Yunwu had been quiet the whole ti. He quietly looked at Fu Yu, who was seated next to Zhao ng, busily serving Zhao ng rice and handing him chopsticks.

Gu Yunwu realized that Fu Yu was no ordinary guy!

The superb knife skills Fu Yu demonstrated while making Shunde Fish Sashimi had surprised Gu Yunwu greatly!

He realized, belatedly, that he had been underestimating Fu Yu all along.

When Fu Yu first created a new dish effortlessly and beca a full-ti chef,

He had thought Zhao ng might have been providing ideas because he believed Fu Yu's culinary skills were a bit lacking and had taken shortcuts.

And last ti, when Zhao ng suddenly fell ill, and Fu Yu took on the responsibility solo,

He also thought it was Yao Shi assisting him since he assud Fu Yu wasn't technically skilled and needed soone to oversee things.

But seeing things today, he finally realized he had underestimated him.

That innovative dish was probably Fu Yu's own creation.

And when Zhao ng got sick, Yao Shi specifically appointed Fu Yu to lead, clearly aware that Fu Yu had the capability.

Now it seems that Yao Shi has an amazing eye for talent!

Fu Yu is indeed exceptionally skilled!

In fact, all along, although Gu Yunwu had quietly competed with Zhao ng, he didn't have any bias against Fu Yu.

Moreover, when Fu Yu made seafood porridge, he quite admired him, thinking the guy had responsibility, and a solid culinary foundation, and would definitely go far with proper training.

Now seeing it, Fu Yu is indeed talented!

Learning to cook, like learning martial arts, also requires talent.

Without talent, relying solely on hard work will get you to the stove, but you'll struggle in skill and innovation.

With talent and hard work, standing out in this field is rely a matter of ti.

He glanced at Yao Yihang still imrsed in work at the stove, then at Fu Yu attentively serving soup to Zhao ng.

Gu Yunwu had a thought.

Yao Shi was pushing his music restaurant business, which was flourishing with each passing day.

Though he was a top chef at Qianlima, he was spending less and less ti there.

When the ti is right, he might just leave Qianlima to focus entirely on his business.

After all, people have personal interests, and no one would be more attentive to another's cash register than their own.

Gu Yunwu realizes that Yao Shi leaving Qianlima is only a matter of ti.

Once Yao Shi leaves, the head chef position will naturally beco vacant.

Given the current situation, the candidates are only himself and Zhao ng, no one else.

And Zhao ng has never been ambitious, only known for following orders diligently, but lacking in flair or charm.

But he is different, perceptive and efficient, especially in front of the boss, the difference is obvious.

Zhao ng is already 42 this year,

While he is just 41, a difference of more than three hundred days!

He is in good health and full of energy, the perfect age to climb the career ladder.

Who else but him should take the head chef position?

As for Fu Yu...

Gu Yunwu suddenly felt that his previous thoughts were misguided!

Who says that once you join one side, you're stuck there forever?

Gu Yunwu thought he should perhaps try to bring Fu Yu to his side. He might just beco a valuable ally in the future.

And there's still ti, as long as he can be patient.

Although previously...but...as long as there's no repeat of recent bad impressions.

But...

Gu Yunwu was puzzled by one thing.

If he could see that Yao Shi might leave Qianlima anyti soon to focus on his restaurant,

Couldn't Zhao ng see it too?

At such a ti, instead of clinging to the boss, he was still following Yao Shi around...

What was he planning? Jump ship in the future?

Even if Zhao ng does move to the music restaurant, it would still be as a chef.

But the clientele he's worked so hard to cultivate would be lost.

Empathetically, Gu Yunwu felt he wouldn't let go.

He wouldn't dare consider leaving the job lightly, and surely Zhao ng wouldn't either.

So what's Zhao ng thinking?

Gu Yunwu furrowed his brow, realizing he needed to ponder this issue carefully.

Nevertheless, Gu Yunwu felt he should make so gestures.

After everyone finished eating, Gu Yunwu smiled and greeted the others, "Chef Yao, you all enjoy, I'm heading back."

He got up and specifically looked at Fu Yu, smiling slightly, "Xiaofu, when you have ti, co hang out with , let's exchange ideas!"

He said his part and left smoothly.

Leaving Zhao ng with a look of astonishnt!

Hey!

A weasel wishing a chicken Happy New Year!

Has Gu Yunwu turned over a new leaf?

Just days ago, he was fighting so hard against them, using all sorts of tricks.

Now, he wants Fu Yu to go over and "exchange ideas"?

What's there to exchange?

No way!

Zhao ng suddenly turned his head to glare at the departing figure of Gu Yunwu.

This Gu Yunwu, the sly weasel!

This was clearly a sneaky move to poach his talent!

Thinking of this, Zhao ng couldn't help but glare at Gu Yunwu, full of wariness!
