"I didn't expect you would come today," Ling Hong said worriedly as he walked up with Ruan Xiaoqing. "Of course.
"Of course, today is your day," said Magnon with a warm smile on his face.
"Thank you," Ruan Xiaoqing bowed and thanked him sincerely.
"You're welcome," Magnon said while shaking his head.
"Let me take you to a seat. Head Chef Yuan is here today," Ling Hong did not stop Ruan Xiaoqing. He merely waited for her to bow before saying.
"No need. I won't be staying for long," Magnon said.
"Then you …" Ruan Xiaoqing and Ling Hong looked at Magnon worriedly. They wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
"Don't worry. I'm here to give you a gift from me and my wife, Sharon," Magnon said warmly as he looked at the gift box in his hand.
"Thank you," Ling Hong and Ruan Xiaoqing said in unison.
"You're welcome. You know how close Sharon and Little Qing were back then. That's why we prepared this," Magnon said.
"Thank you, Mr. Magnon. Thank you, Sharon," Ruan Xiaoqing said, her voice choking. She turned her head and closed her eyes.
"You're welcome. I hope you'll be happy forever," Magnon said as he handed the box to Ling Hong.
"We will," Ling Hong said as he looked at Ruan Xiaoqing.
"That's good. I'm leaving." Magnon nodded and turned to leave without hesitation.
"Mr. Magnon, I hope you'll be happy," Ruan Xiaoqing said to Magnon's back.
"I know. Otherwise, Sharon will be angry," Magnon said with a gentle smile.
Ruan Xiaoqing and Ling Hong stood at the entrance of the banquet hall and watched Magnon leave. After a while, Ruan Xiaoqing spoke.
"Thank you, Hong," Ruan Xiaoqing said.
"No, I should be the one thanking you." Ling Hong bent down and kissed Ruan Xiaoqing's forehead. "Let's go in. Everyone is here."
"Alright." Ruan Xiaoqing nodded.
"You have to be happy today. We will only get married once in our lives. After all, it's impossible for you to remarry." Ling Hong teased Ruan Xiaoqing when he saw that she was in low spirits.
"I know. Even if I have to remarry, I'll marry you." Ruan Xiaoqing let go of the worry and fear in her heart and smiled like a flower.
"It's good that you know. You're firmly trapped by me." Ling Hong took Ruan Xiaoqing's hand and motioned for her to look at the huge diamond ring on his ring finger.
"I already said it's too exaggerated. This is way too big," Ruan Xiaoqing could not help but say with an annoyed tone.
Yes, Ruan Xiaoqing was wearing Ling Hong's wedding diamond ring on her ring finger. It was really big, and it was especially eye-catching on Ruan Xiaoqing's slender finger. She didn't know if it was beautiful, but Ruan Xiaoqing felt that it was a little heavy.
"This is all the money I've earned in recent years. You have to take good care of it," Ling Hong said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes. I know." Ruan Xiaoqing smiled helplessly.
It wasn't long from the entrance of the banquet hall to the main table. The two soon returned to the main table.
Naturally, the greetings were done by Ling Hong. He brought Xiaoqing to talk about the reason for getting married so soon.
Ling Hong said the same thing. He hoped to have a legitimate identity as soon as possible. Speaking of that, everyone present smiled kindly.
Even Ling Hong's mother said to Ruan Xiaoqing's parents with a smile, "This guy is a little unruly, but he's a good person. Please don't mind him."
"No, no. It's Xiaoqing's good fortune to meet Hong." Ruan Xiaoqing's parents waved their hands hurriedly and said.
"That's not right. It's that guy's good fortune." Ling Hong's father shook his head and said seriously, "This guy has grown up and matured now."
"Yes, he has matured." Ling Hong's mother couldn't help sighing with emotion.
That made Ruan Xiaoqing's parents speechless for a while.
Fortunately, the atmosphere was just right, so no one paid attention to that. When Ling Hong finished speaking, the waiters began to serve the dishes one by one.
Ling Hong also sat down with Ruan Xiaoqing and waited for the meal.
This wedding not only invited close relatives and friends, but it was also very simple, without any complicated ceremony.
Because the exchange of rings had already been completed by Ling Hong and Ruan Xiaoqing themselves.
It was equivalent to sitting together and having a meal. Although it lacked the sense of ceremony and was a little simple, it was warm.
When the dishes were served, Ling Hong stood up again and said to everyone, "After lunch, Xiaoqing and I have decided to go on our honeymoon."
"That's good. I've wanted to relax for a long time," Jiang Changxi said immediately.
"If it weren't for Boss Yuan's reluctance to go out with me, I would also go out for some sightseeing." It was naturally Wu Hai who said that.
"I don't want to go. It's more like Little Ya." Yuan Zhou refused primly.
Wu Hai stroked his mustache and wanted to persuade Yuan Zhou to give up the idea, but he gave up after thinking about it.
"Yes, yes, a honeymoon trip is a must."
"Have fun, have fun."
"Young people should go out and broaden their horizons. It's good."
"In the past, you were busy with work. Now it's time to have fun. Have fun."
Everyone was unanimously supportive. Even Ling Hong's parents and Ruan Xiaoqing's parents were very supportive.
"Then Sister Jiang, you have to be lenient with my company. I have a family now. Don't let the company be eaten away by you when I'm not here," Ling Hong joked.
"I know. Don't worry. I'll leave you money for the milk powder," Jiang Changxi flipped her hair and said generously.
"Thank you so much, Sister Jiang." After Ling Hong said that, he immediately said to Ruan Xiaoqing coquettishly, "Honey, when we come back, I'm afraid the company will be in danger. You have to support me then."
"Stop it." Ruan Xiaoqing was a little shy. She couldn't help but pull Ling Hong's sleeve.
"I'm serious. You see, all my assets are in your hands." Ling Hong leaned his head on Ruan Xiaoqing's shoulder and said.
"Okay, okay, I got it." Ruan Xiaoqing responded helplessly. Only then did Ling Hong straighten up.
"Tsk, this dog food." Jiang Changxi looked at Ling Hong in disdain. Wu Hai, on the other hand, was completely unaware of it. He was wholeheartedly waiting for the dishes to be served.
The dishes were served one after another. It could be seen that there were a lot of dishes. At this time, Ling Hong turned his head and said to Yuan Zhou, "Today is my wedding banquet with Xiaoqing. Are there any special dishes?"
Without waiting for Yuan Zhou's answer, Ling Hong took Ruan Xiaoqing's hand and continued to say to Yuan Zhou, "You know, we are going to go on a honeymoon soon. We won't be able to eat the dishes in your restaurant for a long time, Boss Yuan."
"Yeah, I will definitely miss the dishes cooked by you, Boss Yuan." Ruan Xiaoqing nodded and said, which was rare.
"Although I don't open a branch, you can come back anytime if you want to eat. My restaurant has always been on Taoxi Road." Yuan Zhou said indifferently.
As soon as he said that, Ling Hong and Ruan Xiaoqing were stunned. But soon, Ling Hong said, "Of course. As long as Xiaoqing wants to eat, we will come back immediately."
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
At this time, the dishes were almost served. Ling Hong stood up again and asked everyone to start eating.
It was a wedding banquet with three tables of guests. It didn't take long. About an hour, everyone put down their chopsticks.
The cups and plates on the table were cleaned and everyone ate up the dishes.
At this time, Ling Hong and Ruan Xiaoqing also stood up to see the guests off.
Apart from Ruan Xiaoqing's parents and Ling Hong's parents, Yuan Zhou and Yin Ya were the last to leave.
Ling Hong and Ruan Xiaoqing only thanked them after seeing them off at the entrance of the hotel.
"Thank you, Compass." Ling Hong said.
"Thank you, Boss Yuan. Thank you, Xiaoya." Ruan Xiaoqing also thanked him again.
"You are welcome. You have said so many thanks today. If you continue, Yuan Zhou and I will be unhappy." Yin Ya shook her head and said.
"Um. I won't say anymore." Ruan Xiaoqing nodded her head.
"Have a safe trip," Yuan Zhou said.
"Of course. We will fly directly to the Aegean Sea in the afternoon. I heard that the sea there is very blue. Xiaoqing has been wanting to go there for a long time." Ling Hong held Xiaoqing's hand tightly and said.
"Yeah. I heard that it is very beautiful." Ruan Xiaoqing nodded her head.
"If we fly directly in the afternoon, will it be too tiring?" Yin Ya asked worriedly.
"No. Ah Hong said that he will charter the plane. This way, we can rest on the plane." Ruan Xiaoqing shook her head and said.
"…" Yin Ya was speechless. She thought to herself, Okay. I don't understand the world of the rich.
"See you next time," Yuan Zhou said.
"Okay. See you next time," Ling Hong and Ruan Xiaoqing said in unison.
Then, Yuan Zhou held Yin Ya's hand and left.
"I wonder when I will be able to eat Boss Yuan and Xiaoya's wedding," Ruan Xiaoqing said as she looked at the backs of Yuan Zhou and Yin Ya.
"I think it will be soon. Compass doesn't talk much, but his actions are not bad," Ling Hong said.
"Um. Xiaoya will definitely be very happy," Ruan Xiaoqing said.
"You will too." Ling Hong tilted his head and said, "We will come back after Compass gets married."
"Okay," Ruan Xiaoqing replied softly.
On the other side, Yuan Zhou held Yin Ya's hand and walked to the parking lot. When they reached Yin Ya's car, Yuan Zhou suddenly said, "I can do it too."
"Huh?" Yin Ya was dumbfounded.
"I can also charter a plane to take you on a honeymoon," Yuan Zhou said as he looked at Yin Ya seriously.
"Teng …" Yin Ya blushed when she heard the honeymoon.
"What are you talking about? I'm not jealous. I don't need to charter a plane. I can just go like that," Yin Ya said in a panic.
After saying that, Yin Ya was a little annoyed. It seemed that she had already agreed to the proposal, but she didn't want to say it in such a hurry.
"Oh no, I can go even if I don't charter a plane. Will Blockhead think that I am in a hurry to marry him?" Yin Ya couldn't help but clench the car handle. She didn't know how to salvage the situation.
Just when Yin Ya was struggling, Yuan Zhou said again.
"Never mind. I have enough money," Yuan Zhou said, "I have saved a lot of money. It's definitely enough."
"…" Yin Ya felt both helpless and funny in her heart. At the same time, she felt that Yuan Zhou really deserved the title of Blockhead. She had been struggling for a long time in vain.
"I know you have a lot of money. Let's go back. I will give you a ride," Yin Ya opened the car door and said angrily.
"Um, okay." Yuan Zhou sensitively felt that Yin Ya seemed to be a little unhappy, but he didn't understand why. He just got on the car quickly and sat down as Yin Ya said. Then, he fastened the seat belt and appeared to be very obedient.
"Let's go." Yin Ya started the car and drove it out of the garage. Then, she drove slowly to Yuanzhou shop.
While Yuan Zhou was on the way back, it was quite lively in Japan.
Because recently, the culinary circle in Japan was like a festival. After all, Dashi Xiujie lived up to everyone's expectations and won the first place in the Exchange of Young Chefs.
Immediately, Fujiwara Jiayuan, the chairman of the Japan Famous Chefs Alliance, personally wrote a compliment and published it in the Asahi Shimbun.
The title was: The Person Most Likely to Open Up the Path of Japanese Cuisine — — Dashi Xiujie
Looking at the title, it could be imagined how much Fujiwara Jiayuan valued Dashi Xiujie.
However, taking a step back, so many Japanese chefs in their 30s attended the Exchange of Young Chefs Alliance, but now, they were all left far behind by Dashi Xiujie. It was not wrong to say that.
"After hundreds of years of development, Wako is mainly divided into: Honko cuisine, Taobao cuisine, University cuisine, Huaishi cuisine, Refined cuisine, etc. Mainly, there are three categories: Banquet cuisine, Huaishi cuisine and Honko cuisine. Some are fine while others are fine. As the chairman of the Japan Famous Chefs Alliance, I have always wanted to open up the delicacies of Thousand Islands Country again. I have made some progress, but it didn't meet my expectations.
Therefore, I was distressed. Until a few days ago, I was invited to be a judge of the Exchange of Young Chefs Alliance, which was founded by the Empire Great Master Yuan Zhou. In the final, Dashi Xiujie's improved version of Fukuoka Chicken Saki Pot won the first place with 26.8 points. Looking at Dashi Xiujie, I understood many things. The younger generation actually has their own ideas, that is, the future of Wako belongs to them. "
Next, Fujiwara Jiayuan described some of Dashi Xiujie's resume. The restaurant brand established by Dashi Xiujie had already had seven branches. He was indeed a capable person.
Finally, Fujiwara Jiayuan concluded at the end of the article,
"Big Stone is very similar to the great master of the empire, Yuan Zhou. First of all, Big Stone and Monarch Yuan are both very persistent people. They run every morning every day. Besides, Big Stone has also learned many excellent qualities of Monarch Yuan, such as processing food ingredients by himself, doing everything by himself and being 100% serious about food. Now that Big Stone is about to be taught by Monarch Yuan, I believe that Big Stone will have a bright future. He will become the Little Yuan Zhou of our Thousand Island Country!"
In fact, it was really hard to understand. The Asahi Shimbun was also a relatively serious international newspaper, but it could report the Empire Great Master's title so naturally.
With Fujiwara Jiayuan's endorsement, Dashi Xiujie's status in the Japanese cooking circle had improved a lot. Moreover, the title "Yuan Zhou of Thousand Islands Country" was immediately quoted and recognized by other reports.
It was also reported that sooner or later, Dashi Xiujie would change from "Yuan Zhou of Japan" to "Yuan Zhou of Japan".
Why did they add the word "little"? It was because they knew in their hearts that Dashi Xiujie was still too far away from Yuan Zhou.
The Japanese reports basically ignored Ke Sen, who had won the award together with him, but not in China, especially in Guizhou Province, where there was absolutely a lot of coverage.
For example, "Famous Chef Ke Sen of Guizhou Province, Stands Out Among the World Famous Chefs", or "The Second Apprentice of Yuan Zhou".
It was said that Engineer Cheng was very angry when he saw this report, and almost rushed to the newspaper office to tear it down.
After Ke Sen returned home, his father, Colin, who had always been very serious to him, also smiled at this time.
"Well done. You didn't let me down." Colin said, "In fact, I said that the loser would eat the iron pot. That was also to motivate you. You are my son. If you really lose, I can't let you eat the iron pot."
"Really?" Ke Sen didn't believe this at all. After all, he knew his father very well.
Of course, there were other countries that failed, such as Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia. They pretended that this had never happened. After all, in the circle, people also cared about their reputation.
It could be said that the Young Chefs Exchange Meet had officially come to an end.
