Chapter 196: Leguminous Plant

“I know none of them at all. I’m just a painter and of course have no idea of these things,” Wu Hai said boldly.

“Since you don’t know anything about cooking and are definitely a layman, it’s really an unrealistic idea to directly learn from me how to cook. That is absolutely idiotic nonsense,” Yuan Zhou said earnestly with a serious expression on the face.

“Of course, you are likewise the worst apprentice that I have ever seen,” Yuan Zhou gave an additional remark unhurriedly.

Yuan Zhou let out a long sigh of relief in the heart and then felt much comfortable. Finally, he had avenged the humiliation from Wu Hai. As for the subsequent humiliation, he would take his time.

“Wait. Your words seemed to be copied from mine indiscriminately,” when Wu Hai heard the last sentence, he immediately realized the problem and then said discontentedly.

“It just fit perfectly in the context of our conversation,” Yuan Zhou admitted frankly.

“Boss Yuan, you are so narrow-minded,” Wu Hai said, without knowing whether to laugh or cry.

“It just perfectly applies to the situation just now,” Yuan Zhou continued to speak primly.

“Fine, let’s stop it. Just tell me, how do you intend to teach me?” Wu Hai waved his hand and disregarded the argument with a seemingly generous manner.

“Since you know nothing about cooking, you must start from reading books. Of course, the reading time won’t be calculated in the three days of teaching,” Yuan Zhou said lavishly.

Wu Hai suspiciously took a glimpse at Yuan Zhou while Yuan Zhou just generously accepted his glance. After he saw Yuan Zhou’s earnest look as usual, Wu Hai said, “What kind of books?”

“You read these books first,” Yuan Zhou took Wu Hai’s marker pen and also started to write on the paper. There were totally 13 books, including The Elements of Cooking, Chef Training Text, Detailed Explanation of Knife Skills, Food Sanitation and Safety, Learning Cooking from the Beginning, Public Skills of Household Cooking, etc.

“Do I also need to finish all in three days?” Wu Hai looked at the book list first and then at Yuan Zhou with a manner of belief.

“Humm, three days are sufficient,” Yuan Zhou nodded.

“How dare you say you are not narrow-minded? What’s the matter with the book of Public Skills of Household Cooking? Another book of Learning Cooking from the Beginning is also about the skills of household cooking. Don’t you think I know that?” While stroking his small mustache, Wu Hai showed the whites of his eyes ungracefully and believed firmly in his heart that Yuan Zhou must be taking revenge on him.

“As you have no basics, this book could enable a green hand to understand cooking easily and quickly. You’ll understand as long as you read,” Yuan Zhou pointed at the last few books about household cooking and said seriously.

“Do you mean it?” Wu Hai was still a little suspicious.

“Many advanced books are out of your reach and would merely help to increase your knowledge. Only these books are helpful to you,” Yuan Zhou pointed at the books about cutting techniques and said.

“You seem to be right,” Wu Hai had never been in touch with these things before and hence felt them to be formidable when he read the names, even if he understood nothing.

Having carefully checked the book one after another, Wu Hai thought in the heart with puzzlement, “He didn’t really want to take revenge on me?”

“It’s late. See you three days later. I will notify you about the specific time then,” Yuan Zhou looked at the outside and began to drive him out.

“Thank you, Boss Yuan,” after Wu Hai felt that he had made it clear, he expressed the gratitude.

“No need. Goodbye,” Yuan Zhou pointed at the outside of the restaurant.

“Um, ok. See you then,” Wu Hai then left, with the book list being held in his hand.

After Wu Hai left, Yuan Zhou likewise picked up his book list quietly and went upstairs to buy those books from the online bookstore. As for the books of household cooking, he definitely didn’t cheat Wu Hai.
