Chapter 351: Unique Temperament, Strangers Stay Away
"Master, Master! What I mean is, all my achievements are inseparable from you. Without you, there would be no me today! We haven't seen each other for so long, so calm down. Have some soup. The duck soup cooked by my junior sister is the most suitable for you. It moisturizes the lungs and clears away heat!" Wan Yuyue quickly scooped another half bowl of soup and placed it in front of Gu Shanfeng.
Gu Shanfeng stared with his eyes wide open, his emotions mixed up for a moment, his mouth twitching, and he looked at Wan Yuyue for a long time without saying a word.
"If Master Gu was a little older, I'm afraid Sister Wan would make him sick." While picking up some food, Lu Hongwen turned around and joined the whispering duo.
"That's right, you're so naughty, I have to admit defeat. By the way, are the shredded potatoes that Sister Yue fried today so bad? Did you just run into the trap?" Su Yuchen asked curiously.
"No, although the heat was indeed a little lacking, it was still okay overall. When I left, Master Gu even praised her, saying that her improvement was beyond expectations. Scolding her... maybe he was afraid that Senior Sister would be too proud?"
"That makes sense!" Lu Hongwen nodded repeatedly, "Sister Wan's personality is so great, can't we praise her to the sky?"
"You're right! She can be so arrogant even when you scold her." Su Yuchen immediately agreed.
"Hiss! Then I have to take the route of suppression as well?" Zhao Xiaojing looked solemn.
"Master!~~~"
Just as Zhao Xiaojing lowered her head to think, Wan Yuyue's voice of collapse was heard, and Zhao Xiaojing hurriedly looked up.
"Why do you praise everything? These two dishes are the first time she cooked them today!" Wan Yuyue wailed.
Gu Shanfeng squinted at Wan Yuyue and said, "If this is your first time, I would praise you for making it taste this good! Don't think I didn't see you eat half a bowl of this stir-fried gluten. Just resist the urge to eat it first, and then we can talk about other things!"
"This gluten is really delicious. It's crispy, fragrant, spicy, dry and chewy. The taste is simply amazing." Yun Yongyuan echoed.
“Xiao Zhao’s cooking skills have improved a lot since the last time he went to the restaurant. He is really a young man to be feared and has a bright future.” Gu Shanfeng praised again with a look of admiration on his face.
The plan to take revenge on Zhao Xiaojing failed, but the master kept praising her. Wan Yuyue sighed and accepted her fate. She lowered her head and scooped another large spoonful of gluten, turning her grief and anger into appetite.
Zhao Xiaojing chuckled and glanced at Wan Yuyue, "Master Gu, didn't you say today that Senior Sister's progress was unexpected, and Senior Brother was as solid as ever, and lived up to expectations?"
!!!
Wan Yuyue and Yun Yongyuan turned their heads at the same time to look at the ancient mountain, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.
"Really, Master?" Yun Yongyuan was full of anticipation.
"Can you still say something nice?" Wan Yuyue raised her eyebrows.
Gu Shanfeng glared at Wan Yuyue, and then a hint of pride appeared on his lips, "You two are pretty good."
"Then scold me!" Wan Yuyue immediately got angry and looked at Yun Yongyuan angrily, trying to find help from her teammates, but Yun Yongyuan just grinned and looked very happy.
"I scolded you because I was afraid you would get too proud." Gu Shanfeng calmly picked up another piece of the fried double crispy dish with chopsticks. "Xiao Zhao, have you learned this dish before?"
"No, I tried it yesterday and thought it was delicious, so I thought about researching it and gave it a try. The taste is far from the same."
Gu Shanfeng nodded in understanding, "No wonder, your cooking method for this dish is wrong."
Zhao Xiaojing sat up straight immediately.
"The essence of this dish is not spiciness, but fragrance. Although it is called "Fiery", it is not irritating when eaten. Instead, it should be salty and fragrant, with a strong wok aroma. The layering of your "Fiery Double Crisp" is a little lacking, and the fragrance is not enough. Make it again later and I will help you take a look."
"Okay!" Zhao Xiaojing nodded immediately.
Wan Yuyue looked at Zhao Xiaojing eagerly, then turned to look at Gu Shanfeng. Yun Yongyuan also quietly turned his head to glance at Gu Shanfeng's expression.
"You two come here too! Did I say I wouldn't teach you?" Gu Shanfeng looked at the expressions of the two and said with disdain.
"Master, eat some food!"
"Master, have some soup!"
The two of them immediately became attentive.
Zhao Xiaojing was happy again, shook her head and took a few more bites of Shuangchuang, while remembering another important thing. "Master Gu, I talked about recruiting a master this morning, do you have anyone suitable?"
"Well, I was just about to tell you this. There is a suitable person. His cooking skills are impeccable. He has worked in several large restaurants and hotels. He has a lot of experience, but he is a bit introverted."
"That's okay. I'm not very extroverted, so this isn't a problem." Zhao Xiaojing waved her hand.
"He is introverted, which is different from you, Xiaoyun." Gu Shanfeng hesitated, "He actually just resigned from the restaurant, but it was the owner of the restaurant who told me about this. He himself doesn't know that I already know about it. The restaurant owner said that he can't get along with the staff in the kitchen because he is too withdrawn. I don't know whether I should introduce him to you. After all, he hasn't contacted me, and I don't know if he is willing..."
“Master, you are not talking about Nie Xiuqi, Senior Brother Nie?” Yun Yongyuan paused while picking up food and asked with narrowed eyes.
“No way!!!” Wan Yuyue shouted.
"It's him." Gu Shanfeng frowned, "What do you mean by that? He is your senior brother after all. Even if it's only for one year, it's still a favor!"
Wan Yuyue opened her eyes wide and looked at Gu Shanfeng, "You have taken care of him for five or six years, so your affection for him must be deeper than ours. How about taking him to your restaurant?"
"Well, I mentioned it two years ago, but he didn't want to go."
"You really cover everything..." Wan Yuyue blurted out, and immediately got a roll of the eyes from Gu Shanfeng.
"Why don't you want to?" Yun Yongyuan asked.
"He doesn't like Lao Huo. He thinks Lao Huo knows nothing but always interferes in the kitchen." Gu Shanfeng shook his head and didn't want to talk about it anymore. He turned to look at Zhao Xiaojing, "Xiao Zhao, my apprentice is not a bad person. He is just stubborn and doesn't like to talk. However, his cooking skills are impeccable. I would be willing to open his restaurant even if it was him.
I'll tell you the truth, he left me four years ago, and has worked in seven or eight restaurants since then. It's not because his cooking skills are bad, but because he is a straightforward person. He only cares about cooking, and he doesn't know how to socialize or adapt, so he always doesn't fit in with other people."
"It's not that he can't do it, it's that he disdains it." Wan Yuyue muttered softly.
"Senior Sister Wan, Senior Brother Yun, do you have any big opinions about him?" Zhao Xiaojing asked after thinking for a while.
“Not really. In fact, I’ve only been with him in the restaurant for less than a year, and we’ve never spoken a word to each other. He may not even remember who I am.” Yun Yongyuan thought for a moment and said.
"You've only been there for less than a year and haven't spoken to each other, but you were able to guess who Master Gu was talking about? It's been four years, and you still remember his name clearly?" Zhao Xiaojing asked in astonishment.
"Well, because Senior Brother Nie has a unique temperament and doesn't like to be approached by strangers. When I went there that year, there were only six apprentices, including him and me. I was a newcomer and didn't have much to interact with, so it was normal that we didn't talk. But he and the other four who stayed longer never said a word. And he was a good cook, and the master valued him very much, so I was quite impressed."
