Chapter 143 - Chen Xians Visit (1/2)

“Aren’t Tiantian’s parents your parents too?”

Lu Yuxi casually replied, “Do you want to call them to ask?”

Xu Le’s expression was a little awkward. To be honest, ever since he transmigrated, although he had the original owner’s memories, the system did not give him any contact information. Otherwise, he would not have worked so hard to repay the mortgage. These things should be the responsibility of the original owner’s parents.

Xu Le said, “When will the show start?”

“It will be a live broadcast in four days.” Lu Yuxi pouted and said, “They are really confident. Every time the live broadcast voting ends, they will edit it and upload it to the platform.”

“Mmm.”

Xu Le was even more puzzled. What was Chen Yeqi trying to do?

The suspicion reached its peak the moment Zhang Tong stepped into the restaurant.

At 8 pm, when the shop was about to close, Zhang Tong slowly found a corner and sat down. Once he came in, Xu Le recognized him.

Lu Yuxi rubbed her right shoulder with her left hand and was happy that business was exceptionally good that day. She stood in front of the counter and counted the cash. When she turned her head, she noticed that Xu Le’s expression was not right and said, “It’s him. He also participated in that competition previously. I heard that he lost terribly. The Heavenly Restaurant was probably afraid that it would affect business, so they fired him directly.”

Xu Le widened his eyes. “But he’s the head chef.”

“Shh.” Lu Yuxi lowered her voice and said, “Who knows? The head chef isn’t the boss. Besides, Zhang Tong has won so many awards in the competition. He’s too highly praised. If he reaches too high a level, he’ll fall even more miserably.”

Lu Yuxi shook her head and sighed. “That’s why I don’t approve of you participating in the competition either. It’s just that the show is attracting too much attention. The public’s opinion will definitely affect your future…”

At the end of her speech, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. “Of course I know your level of cooking skills and believe that you will win.”

“Mmm.”

Xu Le did not take it to heart. He placed the sliced Buddha’s Roll in the oil pan and said softly, “Let’s wait a little longer and see how my parents end up.”

When it was past 9 pm, there were only a few customers in the restaurant. They were those who wanted to find Xu Le to take a photo and he had agreed to it. After taking photos, they saw Zhang Tong sitting in the corner in a daze, looking haggard. Hence, he turned around and entered the kitchen.

Lu Yuxi asked, “What are we having for dinner?”

Xu Le teased, “Didn’t you say you wanted to lose weight?”

“I’m hungry. I have to have supper today. I’m exhausted.”

“Okay, what do you want to eat?”

“…I saw that you have fresh steak in the fridge. Why don’t you fry it with butter?”

Xu Le paused for a moment. He had been too busy just now. He had exchanged two more pieces of steak with the system. Just nice, he was also hungry.

Seeing his hesitation, Lu Yuxi rebuked, “Don’t tell me you’re so petty that you won’t even let me eat a piece of steak?”

“Of course not. There’s no butter or rosemary in the shop, let alone knives and forks.”

The dishes served on the menu were all authentic Chinese cuisine, so they didn’t require these condiments at all and weren’t prepared.

“Why don’t we just cut some and stir-fry it? We can even make some stir-fried beef.”

Lu Yuxi was slightly disappointed, but she was very confident in Xu Le’s culinary skills. She knew that no matter what ingredient was in his hands, he would be able to turn something rotten into something magical, so her disappointment was fleeting.
