Huo Yao was looking at the ingredients on the table when Old Mr. Yi's words startled her. She did not raise her head as she asked unhurriedly. "Don't I know you well?" Old Mr. Yi smiled.
Old Mr. Yi choked. He knew that this was not the answer he wanted.
Huo Yao had already walked over to Yi Lianfan. She saw the clay pot simmering on the stove, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out. She paused for two seconds before she said, "Mr. Yi, try adding some more bamboo."
Yi Lianfan turned to look at Huo Yao. "Bamboo?"
Huo Yao nodded.
Yi Lianfan walked to the side and grabbed some jade bamboos from the box. "Is this enough for you to put in?"
Huo Yao glanced at him. He was indeed the heir of a famous chef. She raised her brow. "About right."
Before long, Yi Lianfan dipped the bamboo in water and placed it in the clay pot.
He did not question Huo Yao's suggestion at all. It was as though everything she said was right.
She was a big shot.
Old Mr. Yi suddenly felt hopeful about taking in a disciple when he saw how familiar they were with each other.
He took a step back and stood next to Old Mr. Pei. He crossed his arms and said softly, "Old Mr. Pei, do you think Huo Yao is suitable to be a chef... a medicinal cuisine chef?"
Old Mr. Pei turned his head and glanced at Old Mr. Yi. "What are you thinking?"
Old Mr. Yi was a top-notch apothecary with superb medical skills. Why would he want to be a chef?
How daring of the old man.
Did he not call Huo Yao his master?
Old Mr. Yi was puzzled by Old Mr. Pei's stare. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Old Mr. Pei veered his eyes and stroked his beard out of habit. "Nothing. I suggest you sleep with a higher pillow."
Old Mr. Yi went speechless. "..."
"Why did you call Huo Yao your master?" Old Mr. Yi changed the topic.
Old Mr. Pei smiled mysteriously. "I'm not telling you."
Old Mr. Yi went speechless.
The thing he regretted the most in his life was getting to know this old man.
Old Mr. Pei's phone rang in his pocket. He walked over to pick it up.
Huo Yao and Yi Lianfan chatted about the dishes. One talked while the other listened, so they did not pay attention to what the two old men were saying.
Huo Yao left the kitchen without disturbing Yi Lianfan.
The moment she stepped out of the door, she saw Old Mr. Yi staring at her bitterly. Huo Yao was puzzled. "?"
Old Mr. Yi glanced at Old Mr. Pei, who was still on the phone. He kept thinking about how Old Mr. Pei addressed him as' Little Master Pei '. He contemplated for a few seconds before he asked Huo Yao directly. "Did he call you Master Pei?"
Huo Yao was stunned. She realized that he was referring to Old Mr. Pei. She went quiet before she replied. "I don't accept disciples."
Elder Yi: "…"
What did he mean by not accepting disciples?
Elder Yi gulped and asked tentatively, "… The old man wants to be your disciple?"
Huo Yao recalled how Old Mr. Pei had asked her several times if she wanted a disciple, but she had refused. In the end, he insisted on calling her Little Master.
Huo Yao hesitated for two seconds before she glanced at Old Mr. Yi again. She wanted to prevent this from happening again, so she nodded and said, "Yup. I don't accept disciples."
She contemplated before she added. "I don't want to be your disciple either."
Old Mr. Yi was supposed to feel melancholy over Huo Yao's' I don't want to be your disciple either '. However, he was completely dumbfounded by the fact that Old Mr. Pei wanted to be Huo Yao's disciple.
