In the afternoon, it was drizzling. Wang Hong was looking at the sky anxiously. The weather forecast said there would be light rain all day, which meant there would be barbecue!
In the small dark room, Liao Yue, Kang Hu, and Wan Li were thinking about one thing. The room had no windows, and the door was closed. The room was dimly lit, just like the secret room of secret agents in the movies.
"What do you think of my suggestion?" Kang Hu asked seriously.
"I think it's very constructive," Wan Li said. Wan Li said, "I don't know if the others feel it, but I feel that the President's knife skills are getting more and more profound. At first, I could still learn a little, but now, I can't understand most of the time."
Liao Yue nodded. "I feel it deeply. The president's knife skills are amazing."
"It's not that we are stupid, but the gap is too big." Kang Hu said, "That's what I realized. Especially after I dissected the ox, I don't even know where to go, let alone imitating and researching."
The three of them discussed and came to a conclusion. Yuan Zhou's knife skills were too far behind theirs. Even if he took care of them every afternoon, it was too difficult, and they learned less and less. Kang Hu felt that they would let down the president's good intentions if they continued like this.
Therefore, they called Vice President Liao Yue and Secretary General Wan Li over to discuss this matter.
The biggest gap in life was not that you knew you couldn't compete with the other, but that you could only learn a little when the other person slowed down to teach you.
"Our cooking skills should be the best in the Green Chef's Guild," Kang Hu said. "Even we are having a hard time, let alone the others."
"The president spends almost all his time on cooking. We really can't waste his time," Liao Yue said.
Now the problem was, no matter what the reason was, it would be too rude to tell Yuan Zhou that they didn't want to observe the knife skills.
The three of them discussed for a while, but they couldn't come to any conclusion. Finally, they decided to talk to Engineer Cheng. After all, Engineer Cheng was the only disciple that Yuan Zhou acknowledged.
"Why are we talking about knife skills? Why do we have to meet in this place? It makes it seem like we are discussing something illegal. "After the discussion, Wan Li raised a question that might touch their souls.
Liao Yue also said, "I also want to ask."
Both of them looked at Kang Hu at the same time because Kang Hu was the one who found this place.
"Because I feel that this kind of discussion is more serious and formal." Kang Hu said, "You guys don't know how difficult it is to find such a place in Chengdu's Second Ring Road!"
"…"
You're just too bored! Liao Yue and Wan Li looked at Kang Hu as if they were looking at an idiot.
They were all in the same circle, so they naturally knew where to find Engineer Cheng. At this time in the afternoon, Engineer Cheng was either at The Kitchen God or studying dishes in his own restaurant.
He had just sent a message to Qin Kaili. The Kitchen God was not there, so the answer was obvious.
The three of them hurriedly arrived at Engineer Cheng's restaurant.
Engineer Cheng's Sichuan Cuisine was one of the best. Therefore, the Cheng Family's Restaurant had always occupied the top spot in the reviews and recommendations for other delicacies.
Fortunately, when Wan Li, Liao Yue, and Kang Hu arrived, it was not lunch time, so the restaurant was not overcrowded. They informed the receptionist.
Then the receptionist went to tell Engineer Cheng that some people had come to visit.
Although Master Cheng was a good disciple in front of Yuan Zhou and did not have any temper, he was, after all, the leader of Sichuan Cuisine. In front of outsiders, his dignity was sufficient.
"Head Chef, Mr. Wan, Mr. Liao, and Mr. Kang are looking for you." The receptionist said.
As a group of visitors, these three people often appeared in The Kitchen God. Naturally, Engineer Cheng knew them. So he thought for a while and nodded to let the receptionist invite them into the restaurant.
Not only was Engineer Cheng famous, but he was also one generation older than the three people, so he didn't need to go out to greet them.
As soon as they entered the Cheng Family's Restaurant, there was a calligraphy hanging in the lobby — The Best Chef in the World is Yuan.
"What a domineering sentence." Liao Yue said.
Wan Li and Kang Hu nodded, turned around the corridor, and came to the private kitchen of Engineer Cheng.
At this time, Engineer Cheng was wearing a white chef suit, which was spotless and had a serious face.
"Engineer Cheng." The three people greeted him in unison.
"Xiao Wan, Xiao Liao, Kang, what's the matter?" Engineer Cheng asked directly.
In the end, Liao Yue told Engineer Cheng all their thoughts. Regarding Yuan Zhou, Engineer Cheng had always been very concerned. After listening to them, he was silent for a while.
"I will talk to my master about this matter." Engineer Cheng took the initiative to take over the matter.
Liao Yue, Wan Li, and Kang Hu hurriedly thanked him. They didn't expect Engineer Cheng to be so easy to talk to. After all, when they met Engineer Cheng before, they all looked cold and didn't dare to talk to him.
Engineer Cheng didn't ask them to drink tea or anything. After speaking, he saw them out of the restaurant.
"I feel that Engineer Cheng's serious look is a bit like the president." Wan Li said.
"Of course. He has been learning from the president for more than a year." Liao Yue said.
Kang Hu said, "I really envy Engineer Cheng. He can learn from the president's cooking skills."
"I also admire Engineer Cheng. You know, when Engineer Cheng decided to be apprenticed to the president, the president's reputation was far less than it is now." Wan Li said.
The three people chatted for a while and went home. In fact, when they said "a bit like the president", Engineer Cheng didn't hear it. If he heard it, he would be as happy as a 140-kilogram child.
Now this 140-kilogram child was talking to himself, "Are you kidding me? I have some knife skills like my master, but it's still hard to understand. You guys are really too young. It's smart to know when to retreat."
Engineer Cheng looked at the time and estimated that it should be the sculpting time. Therefore, he couldn't disturb him. Therefore, he finished the dishes that he had studied previously.
When the sculpting was almost finished, he drove to Taoxi Road.
On the other side, in a separate VIP room on the third floor of the hospital, Ling Hong was holding Ruan Xiaoqing's hand. The usual pride disappeared from his face. Instead, he revealed a coquettish expression and said, "Xiaoqing, I want to change my identity."
"What do you want to change?" Ruan Xiaoqing revealed a smile and said softly.
"I want to be your husband." Ling Hong squatted down and looked at Ruan Xiaoqing seriously. Then, he said seriously.
"But I don't want to be a woman now." Ruan Xiaoqing slightly avoided Ling Hong's eyes and said with her head lowered.
Ling Hong's face darkened at a place where Ruan Xiaoqing couldn't see. But soon, he recovered his high spirits and said, "Xiaoqing, I suspect that you are driving, but I don't have any evidence."
"It's good that you don't have evidence." Ruan Xiaoqing replied.
"Even if I don't have evidence, I still have to give you a scientific explanation. The term 'woman' doesn't only refer to married women."
"Then what else does it refer to?" Ruan Xiaoqing looked at Ling Hong, who pretended to be serious, and asked seriously.
"According to the official dictionary, the term 'woman' refers to all adult women. According to the judicial definition, any woman who has reached the age of 14 can be called a woman." Ling Hong read the information he had just checked on his phone word by word.
That's right. Ling Hong took out his phone in front of Ruan Xiaoqing and directly used what he had learned. That made Ruan Xiaoqing couldn't help but glare at Ling Hong with a smile.
"Don't laugh. This is the official information I checked. It's all true." Ling Hong shook Ruan Xiaoqing's hand and said seriously. The implication was that the reason of not wanting to be a woman was not valid at all.
"Okay, I know it's true. Then I'm a woman, okay?" Ruan Xiaoqing said helplessly.
Recently, Ling Hong had become more coquettish when he was with Ruan Xiaoqing. He also became a little rascal, which made Ruan Xiaoqing feel both helpless and somewhat happy.
"Well, it doesn't matter. It's good to know your mistakes and correct them. Although you are a woman, you are also the most beautiful 18-year-old woman." Ling Hong leaned over and kissed Ruan Xiaoqing's forehead. He stroked her cheek and said.
"Stop it. I want to eat some apples. Can you help me peel some?" Ruan Xiaoqing's eyes were full of happiness, but she avoided Ling Hong's eyes. She turned her head and looked at the fruit basket on the bedside table.
"Okay, no problem. I'll go wash first, and then I'll come back and peel for you." Ling Hong immediately got up, picked up the fruit, and went to the bathroom in the ward.
That's right. This ward was like a small single room. There was a bedroom and a bathroom. There was even a small reception room separated by a temporary partition.
There was a large vertical wardrobe on the side of the wall. There were two comfortable chairs beside Ruan Xiaoqing's bed and a pair of women's slippers.
Even the bedsheets and quilt covers used by Ruan Xiaoqing were cute Chinchilla suits. Of course, this was also custom-made by Ling Hong.
There was a complete set of toiletries, towels, and so on in the bathroom. These were recently added by Ling Hong. The purpose was to let Ruan Xiaoqing live comfortably without the feeling of being in a hospital.
Seeing Ling Hong walk into the bathroom, the smile on Ruan Xiaoqing's face disappeared. She took out a small round mirror from under the pillow.
In the mirror, Ruan Xiaoqing was even thinner than a month ago. Her cheekbones were prominent, and her lips were pale and sickly. Her light brown hair looked a little dry, but her eyes were bigger.
This allowed Ruan Xiaoqing to clearly see the sadness and happiness in her eyes. Obviously, this happiness was because of Ling Hong, and the sadness was self-evident.
"Thank you, Ling Hong." Ruan Xiaoqing said silently, "In the past, I always blamed myself for only meeting you now. But now, thank God for letting me meet you."
The sound of water splashing stopped. Ruan Xiaoqing immediately put away the small mirror and put it under the pillow again. She smiled at Ling Hong, who came over with two apples.
"Xiaoqing, look at me. I realized that I've gained weight recently. I even have a small belly," Ling Hong said to Ruan Xiaoqing in surprise.
"How is that possible? You've clearly lost weight because you took care of me," Ruan Xiaoqing said with some heartache.
"I've gained weight. If I say I've gained weight, then I've gained weight." Ling Hong said, "In that case, the prettiest 18-year-old woman, do you want to consider changing the way you address me as husband?"
Ruan Xiaoqing paused and then smiled again. "I have to think about calling you husband again."
"If you think about it again, then there's hope!" Ling Hong was shocked and then said, "Xiaoqing, you must think about it seriously. Think about it carefully."
Fortunately, it was a single room with good soundproofing. Otherwise, Ling Hong's volume would definitely affect the other patients.
Outside the window of the ward, there were cars passing by. One of them was Engineer Cheng's car.
"I hope Sister Xiaoqing can recover." When passing by, Cheng Ying looked in the direction of the hospital and prayed. She was brought here by Engineer Cheng to see if she could help.
Engineer Cheng arrived at Taoxi Road on time. Then, he was told that the parking lots at the end of the street and at the end of the street were full.
"I can't delay the master's business." So, the quick-witted Engineer Cheng thought of a solution.
"There are no parking spaces left. You drive the car back." Engineer Cheng threw the key to Cheng Ying and then left.
"…" Cheng Ying looked at the back of Engineer Cheng as he left. So, he called me here to drive the car?
"Thank you for your demonstration, chairman." "The knife is so steady. I feel that even if the robot breaks down, chairman won't have any problem." "See you next time, chairman."
When Engineer Cheng arrived at the door of the restaurant, he happened to see this scene. The knife sculpting session in the afternoon had ended.
"Why do I feel that chairman's knife skills have improved compared to last time?" One of the chefs muttered to himself.
Indeed, there was improvement. However, Yuan Zhou's idea was to go from simple to difficult. The difficulty should be gradually increased. However, the simplicity of Yuan Zhou was a little different from the simplicity of others.
"Master." Engineer Cheng greeted him politely.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head and waited for Engineer Cheng to say the last sentence. As a master, he knew his apprentice very well.
"Here's the thing. The group of young chefs in the Green Chef Association are learning knife skills from you, right? But master, your knife skills are too powerful. It's not suitable for them. So, I'm thinking if I should let them learn from me. "Engineer Cheng said," In this way, you can save more time. "
Yuan Zhou thought for a while. His Water Margin 108 Generals had indeed been sculpted by tomorrow. On one hand, if the knife skills were still "simple", it would be difficult to improve it further.
On the other hand, Yuan Zhou had a lot of ideas recently and was indeed short of time.
There was the main mission and the admiration of a master. The mysterious gift bag from the system was very attractive.
He also had to host the Young Chefs Exchange Meeting. The competition of the top ten had already started. The next round would be Yuan Zhou's turn.
Yuan Zhou said, "The Green Chef Association is my business, not yours."
"Master, your words are too meaningless. Your business is my business. My business is still my business." Engineer Cheng said immediately.
Engineer Cheng added, "Master, please don't be so polite with your apprentice!"
"Indeed, it's best for them to follow you, Zhao Mei. But will you have a problem with time?" Yuan Zhou also didn't want to affect Zhao Mei.
"No. In order to keep pace with master, I have to practice knife skills in the afternoon. So, there is no problem at all." Engineer Cheng said.
"Let me have a look at your knife skills when you are free." Yuan Zhou's words meant that he agreed to Engineer Cheng's proposal.
Engineer Cheng was very happy because Yuan Zhou's words meant that he wanted to teach him alone.
"I will teach you whenever you are free." Engineer Cheng said immediately.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded. Then, after making an appointment, Engineer Cheng went back to his restaurant happily.
The main reason why Yuan Zhou agreed was that he really wanted Liao Yue and the other chefs of the Green Chef Association to improve their cooking skills. It was not just for show. Engineer Cheng was indeed suitable.
