Chapter 494 (1/2)

Chu Xiao took a bite again and then continued thinking with a frown. He must figure out this problem. This was what he was thinking.

Li Minghui and Liu Tong nevertheless became stupefied at the same time.

“It’s no more than the fish skin. Why is it so palatable?” Liu Tong couldn’t figure that out and thus revealed a look of astonishment.

“It’s indeed very fresh and delicious. Besides, there isn’t the taste of gourmet powder.” Li Minghui said quite affirmatively.

“So you understand now?” Zhou Shijie turned to look at his disciple and said smilingly.

“Teacher, your insight is still as sharp as before.” Li Minghui lowered his head slightly and said respectfully.

However, Li Minghui still didn’t speak highly of Yuan Zhou.

“I think his attitude isn’t so good although the fish skin is indeed fresh and delicious.” Liu Tong picked the dish continually while continuing to complain ceaselessly.

Liu Tong still couldn’t understand the matter where he had to wait outside the restaurant for half an hour.

“Anyway, his attitude is better than yours.” Zhou Shijie said without politeness.

That’s for sure. Due to his excellent talent, Liu Tong had always understood things about cooking fast once inspired and didn’t need to study very hard. Therefore, he admired no one but his eldest fellow classmate Li Minghui, his teacher, and the talented Chu Xiao.

Under such circumstances, his attitude toward others naturally wasn’t good either.

“But I respect you, my teacher.” Liu Tong said with a smile. He didn’t think he was disrespecting others at all.

“You slippery guy.” Zhou Shijie stroked his beard and didn’t care about these things.

“Li Minghui, wait. You little brat, you almost ate up all the fish silently. Leave some to me.” Zhou Shijie immediately reached out his hand to pick the remaining Cold Fish Skin, without minding anything else.

“Here you are, teacher.” Li Minghui put the chopsticks down courteously and appeared a little embarrassed.

It was rare for Li Minghui to snatch food from others, at least it was rarer than Chu Xiao. Chu Xiao started later but ended earlier. Therefore, he picked the last little dish from the bowl and stuffed it into his own mouth straightforwardly while Zhou Shijia stared at him in astonishment.

“I see.” After he ate it up, he let out a sigh and said earnestly.

“What do you see that made you say that? Don’t you know to respect the old and cherish the young?” Zhou Shijie said angrily.

“Boss Yuan, your knife skills have truly reached the tip of perfection.” Having taken no notice of Zhou Shijie’s complaint, Chu Xiao looked at Yuan Zhou and said seriously.

“Thank you for your compliments.” Yuan Zhou nodded calmly and accepted his compliments.

Naturally, he was quite happy in his heart.

“Don’t act in front of me, anymore. Since you came into my territory today, you have no more chances.” Yuan Zhou thought primly in the heart.

“What do you mean?” Although Zhou Shijie was the chairman, he just savored the delicacy and didn’t think about the cooking method. Thus, he was still a little puzzled.

“Master Chu, I think you have overestimated him too much.” Li Minghui knitted his brows and then said.

“Yeah, Master Chu. This evaluation of yours is really exaggerated.” Liu Tong didn’t approve Chu Xia’s evaluation, either.

“Chairman Zhou, your culinary skills are awesome, but your insight does not seem to be so.” Chu Xiao didn’t really care about the two disciples, but said to Zhou Shijie with a pitiful tone.

“Ahem ahem. Do you think everybody is as abnormally talented as you?” Zhou Shijie grumbled inwardly. When he saw his two disciples appear indignant, however, he didn’t say anything.
