Chapter 342: A Strange Contest

“What do you mean? You really are?” Ling Hong asked curiously.

“Yes.” Qin Yu nodded his head.

“Ok. Great.” Instead of having any special reactions, he just nodded his head, indicating that he understood.

“It seems that I’m the smart guy,” Wu Hai said complacently.

When Qin Yu found the two people had no special reaction, he lowered his head and continued to eat the peanuts.

“Did you eat secretly while we were talking?” When Wu Hai stopped gloating, he found there was only half a plate of peanuts left and hence asked loudly.

“No. I was just curious about Zheng Jiawei.” Qin Yu didn’t stop picking and eating the peanuts when he asked without turning a hair.

“Speaking of which, I’m also curious.” Ling Hong also looked at Wu Hai curiously.

“Slurp slurp” Just when Ling Hong turned his head, Wu Hai picked one peanut up and stuffed it into his mouth.

It was really a good opportunity. Ling Hong didn’t even manage to react.

Having eaten the peanut, Wu Hai became content. After all, food that was stolen tasted better. It was the truth.

“My sister once went hiking with him. On the way there, both of them lost their phones and money.” Wu Hai appeared fairly earnest when he talked about this matter.

“Then Zheng Jiawei brought your sister back?” Ling Hong speculated.

“Yes. He brought her back in a way that hurt him a lot.” After a nod, Wu Hai continued saying.

“Wu Lin was wounded in the leg. He carried her for two days until they got out of that mountainous area, where one would usually spend at least 3 days to walk out alone.” Wu Hai drank a mouthful of liquor.

“When they came back, his feet were severely wounded and badly mutilated. Therefore, he stumbles while walking even now. It was the consequence of great pain.”

“This person is quite manly. Otherwise, I wouldn’t agree for my sister to get along with him.” Wu Hai actually had tender love for his sister.

“Never did I expect that guy to be so persevering.” Ling Hong nodded his head and showed great admiration.

“He is dutiful, reliable and ready to shoulder responsibility.” Qin Yu summarized decisively. This time, Wu Hai didn’t say anything but nodded his head quietly.

The two women who were chatting at the side also heard the conversation; however, they didn’t express any of their opinions.

The silence only stayed for a little while before the chatting continued.

While taking good rest in the restaurant, Yuan Zhou was reading the newly-bought books.

He planned to finish at least 1/3 of the books before he started to use the 100 Ways to Make Mantous rewarded by the system. This was the target that Yuan Zhou set for himself.

“Ling Ling Ling, Ling Ling Ling”. The phone suddenly rang. Instead of answering it immediately, Yuan Zhou first finished the chapter and made a note. Only then did he pick up the phone.

“Hello.” Yuan Zhou answered the phone.

“Hello, Mr. Yuan. I’m Yan Jia, the assistant of Mr. Lee Yanyi.” The person at the other end of the phone first made himself known.

“Um.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head habitually. Only later did he become stupefied for a moment before he reacted and answered with an “Um”.

“Mr. Yuan, what are your thoughts on that contest?” Yan Jia got straight to the point once he spoke.

“What kind of ingredients are you going to provide?” Yuan Zhou was fairly curious about that.

That’s right. Lee Yanyi recommended Yuan Zhou to take part in an internal contest among the chefs.

The content of the contest was quite interesting. It wasn’t the common cooking, but an examination on their knowledge of food ingredients.

Namely, the origin, the year of production, use and taste of the raw ingredients of different dishes.

“1/3 of them are the commonly-seen ingredients in the market while the other 1/3 are those that are not often used. And the remaining ingredients are the kind that are precious and scarce.” Yan Jia made an introduction.

“Ok. I’ll go.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and agreed.

“Alright. I’m not going to bother you anymore. Good night,” Yan Jia said courteously.

“Um. I will be there on time.” Having thought for a while, Yuan Zhou added.

“Ok, Mr. Yuan. Do you need me to send you the address and contest matters by mail or email?” Yan Jia inquired.
