Fu Hong had no doubt that w.a.n.g Ming is a good chef, but with since he's so young he couldn't have too much experience. At least not as much as those that have cooked for over 40 years like Zhang Hou. Fu Hong thought that Old Hou was only being nice to w.a.n.g Ming, so he lightly tapped on Old Hou's arm to check with him. If Old Hou had faked the reaction, then Fu Hong would need to cooperate with him and do the same.

Feeling Old Fu tapping on his shoulder, Zhang Hou looked to his left and noticed that he had a doubtful and confused look on his face. Zhang Hou instantly understood why Old Fu would have such an expression, since Zhang Hou rarely reacted so much to food. Since he had tasted most dishes out there, but this time since the meat differed totally from what he had expected it would taste and feel. Zhang Hou couldn't help but react like that.

Looking back at Old Fu, Zhang Hou said.

"I know what you're thinking, just eat it and don't bother me anymore. I need to savor this as much as I can."

Hearing Old Hou talk to him like this, it made him even more curious about the dish. Looking around the table, he also saw all the kids waiting for him to eat before they could eat, which wasn't out of the ordinary. But then seeing Ming Ming's pitiful expression waiting for the moment she could dig in, Old Fu couldn't help but say, while cutting a piece of meat.

"You youngsters no need to wait for us just eat. We're in Little Ming's restaurant no need to worry about etiquette and all those trivial things just dig in."

Then, taking a bite and putting it in his mouth, he finally understood why Old Hou reacted like that. Feeling the pork almost melting in his mouth, Old Fu didn't know how w.a.n.g Ming did it, but he could taste rice wine and soy sauce from the pork, usually it would be too heavy for people to enjoy more than a few pieces. But with w.a.n.g Ming's pork it had a perfect balance, the pork wasn't too savory or overpowering which made it easy for a person to devour it all without being tired of it. That's the reason many eat braised pork with rice, but with w.a.n.g Ming's you could eat with or without rice.

Seeing everybody eating and enjoying the food so much, w.a.n.g Ming felt happy and touched. He felt like all the effort, time and money he had put into the dish was worth it. He also felt thankful for the book that helped him. Seeing everybody eat so happily, w.a.n.g Ming then locked the restaurant door so n.o.body would walk in and disturb. He then joined a table with Fu Chunhua, Lang Lin and Ming Ming, since Ming Ming kept nagging for him to sit with her.

Seeing him sit next to her Ming Ming then pouted and looked pitifully at w.a.n.g Ming and said.

"Daddy, let Ming Ming sit on your lap."

Seeing her almost in tears, w.a.n.g Ming hurriedly smiled at her and put her on his lap.

"Don't Cry Ming Ming don't you like the food? Why would you cry?"

"No! The food is best, Daddy, you are the best cooking man in the world!"

After saying this Ming Ming kept putting more and more pieces of meat in her mouth to prove to w.a.n.g Ming that the food is great. Putting too many pieces in her mouth her face looked like a hamster since she had stuffed too much food in her mouth, making them look big. Looking back at w.a.n.g Ming, she then said.

"We Bedst!" (The Best)

Fu Chunhua seeing her having a great time with w.a.n.g Ming, she couldn't help but smile, and take another look at w.a.n.g Ming. She started to understand why Ming Ming liked w.a.n.g Ming, at the start Fu Chunhua was afraid that w.a.n.g Ming was someone that had bad intentions for either her or Ming Ming. But seeing how he treats his friends, elders and Ming Ming, Fu Chunhua realized that he's just a kind and compa.s.sionate person. She didn't know to laugh or cry that the first man, Ming Ming, got close with is w.a.n.g Ming and not her own father. Though she doesn't care at all about that b.a.s.t.a.r.ds.

"Ming Ming! Remember to chew and swallow. What if you choke on the food?"

"Sorry, w.a.n.g Ming, that you have to take care of Ming Ming. But she likes you so much and wouldn't even eat unless you came over."

Even though w.a.n.g Ming hadn't spent a long time with Ming Ming at all. He felt close to her and even regarded her as his own daughter, so he didn't mind how Ming Ming acted and only felt she was cute and lovely.

"Don't worry, Ming Ming is lovely."

Then w.a.n.g Ming took a deep breath and followed up with

"I hope I can become Ming Ming's G.o.dfather, that way she can also call me Daddy without it being awkward. I know it sounds weird since I've only known her for a short amount of time. But she's made a huge impact on me and become irreplaceable in my heart."

After saying this, w.a.n.g Ming felt like he had poured his heart out and could only wait nervously. Feeling a tap on his shoulder, w.a.n.g Ming looked towards the other side and saw that Peng Tong and the other's were rooting for him and all gave him a thumbs up, even his two uncles.

Fu Chunhua contemplated for a bit and was about to reject w.a.n.g Ming, but before she could Lang Lin on her left, whispered something in her ear. After hearing what Lang Lin said, Fu Chunhua's face changed and said.

"I agree, but Ming Ming also has to agree. I can't make the choice for her."

Feeling excited w.a.n.g Ming was about to ask Ming Ming, but couldn't before she stood up on his lap and wrapper her small arms around w.a.n.g Ming's neck and said.

"Daddy, you are the best! Please be my Daddy."

Hearing her accept him, w.a.n.g Ming's eyes became red hugging Ming Ming back. He couldn't help but let his tears pour out.

"Thank You Ming Ming, thank you Fu Chunhua, thank you everybody!"

Seeing how happy was, everybody gave him applause and congratulated him, Fu Chunhua and Ming Ming.. The loudest person being Louzheng who were eating and clapping from the kitchen, even though w.a.n.g Ming wanted him to eat at the table Louzheng refused. After this, w.a.n.g Ming made his way to everybody and talked with them, which was a new experience for him. w.a.n.g Ming felt like he was now slowly rebuilding his family, he would need to get a girlfriend as well. Though he would only "hunt" for one after his restaurant does well, he couldn't get complacent just because of the praise he had got.

w.a.n.g Ming felt happy to get to know everybody better today. Though he didn't get to talk too much with Fu Chunhua but w.a.n.g Ming talked a lot with Lang Lin and got to know her better. They talked a lot about when he saved her. But even more about food since, Lang Lin is a foodie she wanted to know everything about the braised pork dish, and if he had any other dishes, he could make.

After talking with everybody and seeing that they had finished eating, w.a.n.g Ming opened the door to send them out. But before he could, Uncle Hou grabbed him and asked.

"w.a.n.g Ming, Uncle Hou hopes that you can sell this recipe to me. Uncle have really fallen in love with your dish. I don't know if I can sleep at night, if you don't sell it to me. Uncle isn't as rich as your Uncle Fu but I can give you 50 million yuan."

"50 Million? Are you sure Uncle Hou?"

Hearing what Uncle Hou said, w.a.n.g Ming felt shocked by how much money Uncle Hou had offered him, though feeling tempted. w.a.n.g Ming felt like he couldn't sell his recipe to Uncle Hou. He felt like this was his creation his baby he didn't want to just sell it away.

"I'm sorry Uncle Hou, I don't want to sell this recipe. It's my brain child, my baby. It isn't right for me to do so."

Seeing that w.a.n.g Ming denied his offer, Zhang Hou couldn't help but feel depressed. But hearing w.a.n.g Ming's next words, his mood changed once again.

"But I can give you the recipe, but you need to promise me. Not to give it to any other person, only don't sell the recipe or use the recipe in any of your restaurants."

"Only this? You are giving it to me for free like this, Little Ming. How can you even trust that I won't betray you?"

Zhang Hou felt shocked to see how much w.a.n.g Ming trusted him. If he had bought the recipe from w.a.n.g Ming, Zhang Hou had no intention of selling the recipe or the dish. The only reason he wanted to buy the recipe is because he loves to learn about new ways to make food.

"Don't worry nephew, I didn't intend to do anything else then learn from your recipe even if you had sold it to me. I can't take your recipe for free, but what I can do in exchange. Is to help market your restaurant in the food circle, and Old Fu can help with the media. I can promise by two days. There will be news about your restaurant everywhere, on every newspaper and food magazines."

Bowing to Uncle Hou and Uncle Fu, w.a.n.g Ming then thanked everybody for coming and finally sent them away. Ming Ming cried and wanted to stay, but w.a.n.g Ming promised to come another time and cook her food. It was only then she obediently went with her mother. Though before Fu Chunhua and Lang Lin went home, they both said to w.a.n.g Ming to remember their date. Which made them both look surprised at each other and laugh, Lang Lin then said.

"I wanted to treat w.a.n.g Ming to dinner because he saved me once, I don't mind going together. We could go on a big date, Me, You, w.a.n.g Ming and Ming Ming that would be fun."

w.a.n.g Ming thanked the G.o.ds that Lang Lin instantly defused the situation, but what w.a.n.g Ming didn't know was that Fu Chunhua and Lang Lin went home both in a bad temper, though they didn't want to show it in front of w.a.n.g Ming.
