Chapter 394 (2/2)

Yuan Zhou didn’t answer him but instead, opened the letter in public.

“Head chef, do you think that young boss will agree?” There was a manner of great interest shown on the face of the chief chef.

“No, he won’t. That guy is much too prideful.” Li Li said affirmatively.

“He’s indeed much too arrogant. He doesn’t even respect us.” The chief chef humphed and agreed to the comments given by Li Li.

However, what Li Li intended to say was contrary to the word “arrogant” mentioned by the chief chef.

“Boss Yuan is so awesome! Someone even came to pay their respects to him as his teacher.” Seeing the ruckus, a customer also said proudly.

“Of course. Boss Yuan’s craftsmanship is needless to say.” Others echoed and complimented.

“This person has been here once, but he was refused by Boss Yuan last time.” Another customer said mysteriously.

“Really? Why didn’t I know that?” Other customers surrounded the one that seemed to know more and asked him curiously.

“It was more than ten days ago. This person is said to be some sort of certified master, the kind that is originally quite awesome.” A customer pointed at Master Cheng and said.

“Still not so awesome as Boss Yuan.” Other customers said one after another.

“Of course I know he’s not as awesome as Boss Yuan. Otherwise, how is it possible for him to come here and pay his respects to Yuan Zhou as his teacher?” It was still the same customer.

“Let me tell you…” This customer started to describe the matter of paying respects to Yuan Zhou last time.

Having watched the scene, Martin and Wu Zhou were also talking over that.

“What does that man mean?” Martin pointed at the letter being held by Master Cheng and asked.

“That person wanted to pay his respects to Boss Yuan as his teacher, but he was refused.” While Wu Zhou was speaking of that, there was a prideful feeling in his tone.

Just like those customers, it was a sort of acknowledgment when one’s favorite thing was also liked by others.

“Why did he refuse that person?” Martin asked with puzzlement.

“Because Boss Yuan is a low-profile and modest man.” Wu Zhou said earnestly.

“Maybe.” Martin shrugged. Yuan Zhou didn’t leave him a good impression.

However, he liked watching the situation very much.

The letter was written with the writing brush and was naturally about his desire to be taken as a disciple. Nevertheless, the signature was Zhou Shijie, the chairman of the China Chefs’ Alliance.

“I really have nothing to teach you.” Yuan Zhou received the letter and said earnestly while looking at Master Cheng.

Master Cheng didn’t give up. On second thought, he said straightforwardly, “I can follow you and even do some chores.”

“You can follow me, but you can’t get into my kitchen.” Yuan Zhou said directly.

“Although I can’t cook as well as Boss Yuan, the preparatory work is nevertheless… Ok, no problem.” Master Cheng had prepared to say he could do the preparatory work. Then, he thought of the traumatic experience of being slapped in the face and hence stopped saying more and then accepted that.

“That way, I’m not your teacher, so you don’t need to call me teacher, either. And you still need to line up if you want to eat here.” Yuan Zhou pointed at the line over there and said.

“Alright. Don’t worry, Master Yuan.” Master Cheng was satisfied with the result that he could follow him at any time.

Otherwise, he would have no justification to come here every day to watch Yuan Zhou cook, which would sound as if he was stealing something. Master Cheng indicated that he was also a prideful master.

Sometime, Yuan Zhou would doubt if he and the system had any thoughts in common. For example, the situation now.

Yuan Zhou had been unsatisfied with his current culinary skills ever since he cooked the Vegetable Stir-fried With Mushrooms. Yet, just now, the system gave him a new and interesting mission again.
