Chapter 428 - Know Who to Choose (1/2)

In the evening, they were eating in a large private room in Ruyi Tower. Second Brother personally cooked to receive the master. Xia Yu just sat in the private room and talked with his father for a little while. Halfway through, Fourth Brother came over and asked Xia Yu to go to the kitchen.

The vegetarian dishes weren’t exactly Second Brother’s strong suits, and he was not confident as the master would personally taste it. He wanted Xia Yu to taste it first. If it was okay, he would bring it out, and if it was not, he would not bring it out.

Xia Yu saw that he was like facing a big enemy and laughed at him. In all fairness, she really thought that Second Brother was very good, but comparing to Eldest Brother, his skills were slightly inferior. Without any prejudice, Second Brother would definitely lose in the competition with Eldest Brother.

Now her father was here, and the match would be about to begin soon. The TV station heard that someone planned to challenge the Ruyi Tower and took the initiative to contact, saying that they would like to do a live report. Xia Yu understood that the TV station would never take the initiative to contact, and it must be Zhang Hanyu’s strategy. He was helping Su Hai earn his reputation. If he beat down Ruyi Tower, he would be worth a hundred times more, and his restaurant would be full of guests.

Looking at Second Brother who was full of expectation, Xia Yu said, “It’s better for me to cook a dish so that my Second Brother can taste it.”

“Junior Sister, don’t tease me. Indeed, we call you Junior Sister, but that’s because of the master. It is not that you are really our Junior Sister.” Fourth Brother was very savvy. He took one look at Xia Yu’s expression and knew she also thought that Second Brother was not as good as Eldest Brother. His heart suddenly turned cold.

They all had a special feeling for Ruyi Tower and regarded the honor of Ruyi Tower as their own honor.

“No, it’s not that. Let Eldest Miss have a try. Anyway, you haven’t tasted her craft yet. Today, you guys have a good fortune thanks to the big boss.” The manager stood on the side and supported Xia Yu.

“You’re right. We haven’t tasted Eldest Miss’s craft yet.” Fourth Brother was quite smart. The master came over, and they couldn’t disappoint him.

Xia Yu didn’t continue her courtesy and picked up the pot before grabbing some cabbages that were used by Second Brother just now and throwing them into the pot. Then she threw the pot up and down a few times before putting the cabbages on a plate.

The whole process lasted only three or five minutes. A home-made side dish was never complicated. When it came to the process, almost everyone knew it. But when one compared the cabbages which she put on the plate with the dish that her Second Brother just cooked, the contrast was clearly shown.

Although the raw material used by them and the time when the cooking was finished were almost the same, Xia Yu’s dish was fresh and green, but Second Brother’s dish was obviously overcooked.

“Junior Sister, you have learned it before?” Second Brother was a connoisseur and figured out the connotation of cooking with only one look. He took the chopsticks and tasted it. He nodded constantly and said, “The skill of Junior Sister… I am not deliberately praising her skill when the master is not here, but my master’s skill can’t surpass her skill easily.”

“Second Brother, did you exaggerate it?” Xia Yu’s dish looked better than that of Second Brother, but no one knew how it tasted. Everyone was shrewd. They didn’t dare to pick up the chopsticks as they didn’t want to offend Junior Sister.

The manager smiled on the side and said, “Don’t look down on your Junior Sister. Last time when the big boss came over, the hot oil hurt his hand. A customer ordered the big boss’s specialty, radish soup, and Eldest Miss herself did it.”

“Really?” Everyone heard it and picked up the chopsticks in a hurry. They had to taste it now.

Xia Yu hurriedly brought the plate over and said, “Don’t think about it. My dad hasn’t tasted it yet.”

“If you don’t let us eat it, we’ll eat Second Brother’s dish.” Everyone put the chopsticks into the other dish.

But the efforts were in vain again. A waiter came over and thought that it was for the guests. Then he took it away.

Hey! We could not even have a plate of cabbages? Fourth Brother put on a bitter look and begged Second Brother, “Second Brother, please make another one.”

Soon it was met with Second Brother’s rolling eyes. “I want to eat, too. Who will cook for me? Do it myself!” After he finished his words, he took off his apron and left the kitchen.

The master had always said that Junior Sister was not willing to learn to cook. He thought that the master had no successor and accepted everyone as apprentices. That was not the case. He wanted to let more people learn his craft.

Junior Sister would personally face the challenge, and Eldest Brother would definitely lose this time. Second Brother swept away the gloominess from the past few days and went to drink with the master, feeling refreshed.

Because of his daughter’s arrest, President Kang used his social relations and found a few powerful people in S city to eat here. When he picked up the phone, he saw Xia Yu carrying a dish and entering into a private room with a smile.

He looked at her radiant face and thought of her daughter who was in a cold cell. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. So, he followed her directly.

“Hey, Miss Xia is very comfortable here with Young Master Yan.” President Kang was almost gnashing his teeth while saying this. He was a well-known figure in J city. No matter how flashy Shen Yan was, he still belonged to a younger generation.

Yes, her daughter’s action on Xia Yu was a little excessive, but after all, her surname was Kang, and he had to do things out of consideration of that or for the sake of him. It would be fine for Shen Yan to be arrogant, but he even had to ask him out and order the police chief to arrest his daughter in front of him.

He did this in such an extreme way. He really thought S city belonged to his family.

President Kang first poached Su Hai, and then his daughter did so many things to his own daughter. Even if Xia Mingde was quite open, he couldn’t stand it.

Seeing Shen Yan was going to speak, he made a gesture to stop him from talking. Everything would be handled by him, “President Kang, what do you mean? My two children can’t eat at home liberally?”

Xia Mingde started to speak, and President Kang then recognized him. When Chen Wenxuan came over, he told him that Shen Mo was competing with Shen Yan for business, and the two people were in a stalemate.

Old Madame thought of a compromise and decided whoever made the dishes that satisfied her at her birthday party would get the business. It was fair and reasonable, and the harmony would be kept.
