Master Cheng, what kind of gift do you think is appropriate? Hao Cheng was the first to speak.

As soon as he said that, the other three people also looked at master Cheng, waiting for his answer.

The most important thing about a thank you gift is sincerity. It doesnt matter if its expensive or not. After all, master has seen all kinds of good things. He doesnt need those gaudy things. Master Cheng said.

Yes, yes, yes. Thats only natural. All the utensils used in head chef Yuans restaurant are exquisite. The ingredients in the restaurant are also exquisite. Huang Fei nodded.

So theres no need to consider this. Im thinking of something else,master Cheng nodded.

Other things? I think head chef Yuans knife and anvil are rare treasures. Im afraid we dont have to give them to you. Liu Li touched his fat belly and said awkwardly.

Thats right. We cant be clichd when gifting to head chef Yuan. It has to be related to the chef. What should we give him? w.a.n.g Qiang was also a little vexed.

Huang Fei immediately thought of the best choice for a thank you gift, and said,Master Cheng, I have an ancient recipe that I collected myself. I wonder how this thank you gift is?

Thats great. My master doesnt like anything else but cooking. Your gift is barely acceptable. Master Cheng was pleasantly surprised in his heart, yet he said indifferently on the surface.

We also have this thing. The remaining three people looked at each other before Hao Cheng spoke.

If there are a lot of them, its indeed a good gift. Thank you. Master Cheng felt even happier and directly smiled.

Its no problem. If Im still a chef, I can invite head chef Yuan to my study room to have a look. It can also be considered an exchange of culinary skills. Huang Fei said.

Thats right, Huang Fei naturally had the confidence to say this. After all, his ancestor was a chef for a great salt merchant, and he had a lot of recipes at home. After all, whether it was ancient or modern times, money could do anything.

However, Huang Fei didnt dare to make such a decision, so he could only promise.

Theres no need for that. After all, its your familys property. It cant be seen unless youre a master and disciple. Theres no need. Master Cheng shook his head and said solemnly.

Thank you for your understanding, master Cheng. Hao Cheng said, a little embarra.s.sed.

Thats right. Normally, they had more than one recipe of an ancient dish, but they only had one or two that belonged to them. The rest were taught by their Masters, so they naturally didnt dare to give them to others casually.

Therefore, Hao Cheng heaved a sigh of relief and felt a little ashamed at the same time. It was because Yuan Zhou was very generous to let them watch and learn his cooking skills.

Its okay. Master doesnt care about these small things. Master must have told you that as long as you go to the restaurant, you are a customer. Master Cheng said.

Yes, I am. The four of them nodded.

So its fine as long as you dont disturb my master. Master Cheng said.

Naturally, I wouldnt dare. The four of them nodded in unison.

Then thats fine. As for the rest of the matters, master Cheng continued,its masters business to communicate with master hang and Master Huang. We dont need to care about them.

Hearing master Chengs words, the four people came back to their senses. It made sense. With Yuan Zhous current status, it was only a matter of minutes before he could communicate with their master or father. They didnt need to worry about that at all.

By the way, since thats the case, will head chef Yuan accept our thank you gifts? Hao Cheng asked worriedly.

Thats right. I heard that head chef Yuan has never accepted gifts of grat.i.tude from others. Huang Fei said.

Ive also heard about it. Liu Li nodded.

w.a.n.g Qiang also nodded his head at the side. Then, he looked at master Cheng and waited for him to speak.

Its fine, just leave this to me. Master Cheng patted his chest and said straightforwardly,When the time comes, give me the recipe and Ill pa.s.s it to you.

Thank you very much, master Cheng. Hao Cheng said gratefully.

Youre welcome. Were friends after all. Master Cheng stretched out his fan-like hand and patted Hao Chengs shoulder with a smile.

Then, when the four of us are ready, we will send it directly to your restaurant, chef Cheng? Huang Fei said.

Sure. Master Cheng nodded.

See you next time. Hao Cheng didnt beat around the bush and directly bade farewell.

Goodbye. Master Cheng nodded his head and then watched the four of them leave.

When they reached the intersection where master Cheng could no longer be seen, Hao Cheng couldnt help but move his shoulders and think,This master Chengs hands are really strong.

As for master Cheng, he just watched the four of them leave with a happy expression on his face. When he was about to enter the restaurant to find his master who had just finished breakfast, someone entered the restaurant before him.

The one who entered the restaurant was none other than Ling Hong, who hadnt been to the restaurant since ruan Xiaoqing was hospitalized.

Youre getting discharged? As soon as Ling Hong entered the restaurant, Yuan Zhou asked him directly before he said anything.

Yes, Ling Hong nodded his head smilingly.

Youre here to settle the bill? Yuan Zhou said again.

I remember that I paid for the takeaway. Ling Hong said vigilantly.

Ive paid for the food, but Ive been taking a taxi back and forth for the past few days. Ill reimburse the travel expenses. Yuan Zhou said primly.

Ling Hong was speechless instantly.

Seeing Ling Hong choked, Yuan Zhou didnt change his expression, but he was quite happy in the heart.

During the past few days, Yuan Zhou had been forced to listen to Ling Hongs troubles about love every time he delivered food to him. Although he had Yin ya to protect him now, he could still make a joke as a friend.

Whats the matter? Yuan Zhou said again.

Its like this, Xiao Qing wants to treat you to a meal to thank you for visiting her. Speaking of the serious matter, Ling Hong put away his helpless expression and said seriously.

Sure, when do you want to do it? Yuan Zhou said.

Because youre one of the invited guests, so you can decide the time. Ling Hong said.

Then lets do it at 8:30 tomorrow night. Yuan Zhou thought for a second and then said.

No problem, he said. Ling Hong nodded his head.

See you tomorrow night. Yuan Zhou nodded his head at Ling Hong and then directly started to see him out.

Thank you, Yuan Zhou, Ling Hong didnt leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Yuan Zhou seriously and then suddenly bowed slightly to Yuan Zhou.

Youre welcome. You and Qing Zhu are the friends of me and Yin ya. Yuan Zhou didnt stop Ling Hong, but said.

Of course. Why else would I come to your restaurant to treat you? Ling Hong said with a smile.

Yes. Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

Im leaving. See you tomorrow night. I still have to go and meet other people. Ling Hong turned around nimbly, waved his hand and walked out of the restaurant directly.

Dont forget to invite Wu Hai, Yuan Zhou reminded him.

I know. If it wasnt for the crow beast, Im afraid you wouldnt even be able to keep the door here. Ling Hong said helplessly with a headache.

Thats right. Yuan Zhou nodded his head approvingly.

Ta, ta, ta. The sound of Ling Hongs footsteps soon faded away. Then, the figure of master Cheng appeared by the door.

The first thing Yuan Zhou said when he saw master Cheng was,Youve finished your homework for this month?

Master Cheng instantly felt his back tighten. He had the same feeling as when he was a child, when he didnt do his homework and faced his form teacher. The smugness of getting the recipe instantly disappeared.

Master, Im here today for something else. Master Cheng said carefully.

Whats the matter? Yuan Zhou asked directly.

Ive found you a few more ancient recipes. Master Cheng said.

Where did you get it? With a slight frown, Yuan Zhou asked straightforwardly.

Yuan Zhou was worried that master Cheng would exchange something important for it.

It was those four boys from Huaiyang who said they wanted to give it to you. I couldnt stop them, so they forced it into my hands. Master Cheng said without blus.h.i.+ng or panting.

Of course. How could he possibly tell Yuan Zhou that he had hinted for them to come here? they had to have come here voluntarily.
