Chapter 1659: Change your identity and title
In the afternoon, there was a drizzling rain. Wang Hong looked up at the sky anxiously. The weather forecast said that there would be light rain all day, which meant that there would be a barbecue!
In the small dark room, Liao Yue, Kang Hu, and Wan Li were thinking about one thing. There were no windows in this room, and the door was closed. The light in the room was dim, just like the secret room in the movies where special agents met.
âWhat do you all think of my suggestion?â Kang Hu asked solemnly.
âI think itâs very constructive.â Wanli said,âI donât know if the others feel it, but I feel that the knife skills that the president is using are getting more and more profound. At first, I could still learn a little, but now, most of the time, Iâm in a state of not understanding.â
Liao Yue nodded.âI can feel it. The presidentâs cutting skills are too amazing.â
âItâs not that weâre stupid, but the gap is too big. â âThatâs exactly what I realized,â Kang Hu said.âEspecially after I dissected an ox, I didnât even have a direction to go, let alone imitate and study it.â
The three of them discussed and came to a conclusion. Yuan Zhouâs cutting skills were far inferior to theirs. Even though he took care of them every time he sculpted in the afternoon, it was still too difficult and the things they learned were getting lesser and lesser. Kang Hu felt that he would be letting down the Chairmanâs good intentions if this continued.
Therefore, he had invited Vice President Liao Yue and head secretary Wan to discuss this matter.
The biggest difference in life was not that you knew you couldnât compare to the other party. The biggest difference was that even if the other party slowed down to teach you, you could only learn half of it.
âOur cooking skills should be the best in the Qing chef society.â âEven we are having a hard time, let alone the others,â Kang Hu said.
âThe president spent almost all of his time on cooking. We really canât waste his time.â Liao Yue said.
But here came the problem. No matter what the reason was, it would be impolite to tell Yuan Zhou that he wouldnât come to observe the knife skills.
The three of them discussed noisily but didnât come to any conclusion. In the end, they unanimously decided to have a chat with master Cheng. After all, master Cheng was the only apprentice that Yuan Zhou had acknowledged.
âBy the way, why are we talking about knife skills? why do we have to meet up in this place? It makes us look like weâre discussing some illegal business. â After the discussion, miles raised a question that might involve the soul.
âI also want to ask,â Liao Yue also said.
The two looked at Kang Hu at the same time, because he was the one who found this place.
âBecause I feel that this kind of discussion is more serious and formal.â âYou guys have no idea how hard it is to find a place like this in the Second Ring Road of Rong city!â Kang Hu said.
ââŠâŠâ
Youâre just too bored! Liao Yue and Wan Li looked at Kang Hu as if he was an idiot.
As they were all in the circle, they naturally knew where to find master Cheng. At this time in the afternoon, if master Cheng wasnât in master chef Restaurant, he would be studying the dishes in his own Cheng family restaurant.
He had sent a message to Qin Kaili just now, but there was no one in master chef Restaurant. The answer was obvious.
The three of them arrived at master Chengâs restaurant in a hurry.
Master Chengâs Sichuan cuisines were top-notch. Therefore, the Cheng family restaurant had always occupied the second place on the evaluation list and the recommendation list of other delicious foods.
Fortunately, Wanli, Liao Yue, and Kang Hu came not at mealtime, so it wasnât crowded. He informed the reception.
After that, the receptionist went to tell master Cheng that someone was here to visit.
In front of Yuan Zhou, master Cheng was a good disciple and didnât have any temper at all. However, as the boss of Sichuan cuisine, he was still dignified enough in front of outsiders.
âHead chef, Mr. Wan, Mr. Liao, and Mr. Kang are looking for you.â The greeters said.
As a group of observers, the three of them often appeared in master chef Restaurant. Naturally, master Cheng knew them. Therefore, after thinking for a while, he reacted and nodded his head, asking the greeter to invite the three of them into the restaurant.
Not only was he famous, but master Cheng was also a senior. Therefore, he naturally didnât need to go out to welcome him.
In the Cheng family restaurant, a calligraphy painting hung in the lobby, saying âdisdainful of all culinary skills in the worldâ with Yuan as the head.
âWhat a domineering sentence.â Liao Yue said.
Wan Li and Kang Hu nodded their heads. They turned around the corridor and arrived at master Chengâs private kitchen.
At this moment, master Cheng was wearing a white chefâs suit, which was spotless and had a serious face.
âMaster Cheng,â The three of them greeted him in unison.
âXiao Wan, Xiao Liao, Kang, whatâs the urgent matter?â Master Cheng asked directly.
In the end, Liao Yue told master Cheng all of their thoughts. Master Cheng had always paid a lot of attention to Yuan Zhouâs matters. After hearing that, he became silent for a while.
âIâll talk to master about this. â Master Cheng took the initiative to shoulder the matter.
Liao Yue, Wan Li, and Kang Hu immediately thanked him. They didnât expect master Cheng to be so easy-going. After all, when they met master Cheng before, he always had a frosty expression and didnât even dare to talk to him.
Master Cheng didnât ask the three of them to stay for tea. After saying that, he sent them off.
âI feel that master Chengâs serious look is really a bit like the president âs.â Ten thousand miles said.
âThatâs for sure. Iâve been learning from the president for more than a year.â Liao Yue said.
âI really envy master Cheng,â Kang Hu said.âHe can learn the presidentâs cooking skills.â
âI also admire master Cheng quite a lot. You should know that when master Cheng decided to acknowledge him as his master, the reputation of the president was far from what it is now.â Ten thousand miles said.
The three of them made small talk for a while and then went back to their own homes. Actually, master Cheng didnât hear them say âyou look a little like the presidentâ. If he had, he would have been as happy as a 140-pound child.
This 140-pound child was mumbling to himself,ââIâm just kidding. I have a masterâs knife skills, but even I canât understand it. You guys are really too young. Itâs smart to back out when you know the difficulty.â
Master Cheng looked at the time and estimated that it should be time for sculpting. Therefore, he decided to finish the dishes that he had studied before without being disturbed.
When he was almost done with the carving, he drove to Taoxi road.
On the other side, in the private VIP room on the third floor of the hospital, Ling Hong was holding ruan Xiaoqingâs hand. The usual pride on his face was gone, and he said with an expression that could be called a spoiled child,ââLittle Qing, I want to change my identity.â
âWhat do you want to change?â Ruan Xiaoqing smiled and said gently.
âI want to be your husband.â Ling Hong squatted down, looked at ruan Xiaoqing seriously and said seriously.
âBut I still donât want to be a woman now.â Ruan Xiaoqing slightly avoided Ling Hongâs eyes and said with her head lowered.
Ling Hongâs face darkened when ruan Xiaoqing couldnât see it. But soon, he regained his high spirits and said,ââXiao Qing, I suspect that youâre driving, but I donât have any evidence.â
âItâs good that thereâs no evidence. â Ruan Xiaoqing replied.
âEven if thereâs no evidence, Iâm going to give you a piece of common knowledge.â Women âdoesnât just mean married women.â
âThen what are you still pointing at?â Ruan Xiaoqing looked at Ling Hong, who was pretending to be serious, with a funny look and then asked him seriously.
âAccording to the explanation in our official dictionary, all adult women can be called women. In the judicial definition, any woman over the age of 14 can be called a woman.â Ling Hong read out the information he had just checked on his phone word by word.
Thatâs right. Ling Hong took out his mobile phone in front of ruan Xiaoqing and directly applied what he had learned on the spot. Ruan Xiaoqing couldnât help but glance at Ling Hong with a smile.
âDonât laugh. Iâve checked the official information, and itâs all true.â Ling Hong shook ruan Xiaoqingâs hand and said seriously. What he meant was that the reason of not wanting to become a woman was not valid at all.
âAlright, I know itâs true. Iâm a woman, okay?â Ruan Xiaoqing said helplessly.
Recently, Ling Hong had become more and more like a spoiled child and a little rascal when he got along with ruan Xiaoqing. This made ruan Xiaoqing feel both helpless and happy.
âItâs okay. Itâs great to know oneâs mistake and change for the better. Although youâre a woman, youâre still the most beautiful eighteen-year-old woman.â Ling Hong bent over and planted a kiss on ruan Xiaoqingâs forehead, stroking her cheek and said.
âDonât mess around. I want to eat some apples. Can you help me peel some?â Ruan Xiaoqingâs eyes were filled with happiness, but she avoided Ling Hongâs eyes and looked at the fruit basket on the bedside table.
âOkay, no problem. Iâll go wash up first and then come back to peel it for you.â Ling Hong immediately stood up and took the fruits to the washroom of the ward.
Yes, the ward was like a small single room with a bedroom, a bathroom, and even a small reception room separated by a temporary partition.
There was a large standing closet on the side of the wall. There were two comfortable chairs and a pair of womenâs slippers beside ruan Xiaoqingâs bed.
Even the bed sheets and quilt covers used by ruan Xiaoqing were the cute Totoro suit. Of course, this was also customized by Ling Hong.
There were a complete set of toiletries, towels, and so on in the bathroom. These were all purchased by Ling Hong recently for the purpose of letting ruan Xiaoqing live comfortably and without the feeling of a hospital.
Seeing Ling Hong walking into the bathroom, the smile on ruan Xiaoqingâs face disappeared. She took out a small round mirror from under her pillow.
The ruan Xiaoqing in the mirror was even thinner than a month ago. Her cheekbones were prominent, her lips were bloodless and sickly pale, her light brown hair looked a little dry, but her eyes were bigger.
Ruan Xiaoqing could clearly see the sadness and happiness in her eyes. Obviously, the happiness was because of Ling Hong, while the sadness was self-evident.
âThank you, Ling Hong,â Ruan Xiaoqing was speechless.âIn the past, I always blamed myself for not meeting you until now. But now, I really have to thank God for letting me meet you.â
When the sound of water stopped, ruan Xiaoqing immediately put away the small mirror and put it under the pillow again. Then, she looked at Ling Hong with a smile, who came over with two apples.
âXiao Qing, look, Iâve gained weight recently. I even have a small belly.â Ling Hong said to ruan Xiaoqing in surprise.
âHow is that possible? youâve clearly lost weight because you took care of me.â Ruan Xiaoqing said with a little heartache.
âIâm fat, Iâm fat, I said Iâm fat, so Iâm fat. â âThen, the most beautiful 18-year-old woman, do you want to consider changing the way you address me toâ husband â?â Ling Hong said.
Ruan Xiaoqing paused and then smiled.ââHubby, I need to think about it.â
âThink about it again, that means thereâs hope!â âLittle Qing, you must think about it seriously. Think about it carefully.â Ling Hong was startled.
Fortunately, it was a single room with good sound insulation. Otherwise, Ling Hongâs volume would definitely affect the other patients.
Cars were shuttling back and forth outside the window of the ward, and one of them was master Cheng âs.
âI hope sister Qing can recover.â When she passed by, Cheng Han looked in the direction of the hospital and prayed. She had been caught by master Cheng and wanted to see if she could help.
Master Cheng arrived at Taoxi road on time and was told that the parking lot at the end of the street and the end of the street were all full.
âI canât delay masterâs matters.â Therefore, the quick-witted master Cheng thought of a solution.
âThereâs no more parking space. Drive the car back. â Master Cheng threw the key to Cheng Cheng and then left.
ââŠâ Cheng Han looked at master Chengâs back as he left. So, he called her here to drive?
âThank you, Guild Master, for your demonstrationâ,âyour grip on the blade is too steady. I feel that even if the robot malfunctioned, the Guild Master would be fineâ,âGuild Master, see you next timeââŠ
When master Cheng arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, he happened to see this scene. The knife work and carving in the afternoon had ended.
âWhy do I feel like presidentâs knife skills have improved since the last time?â One of the chefs muttered to himself.
He had indeed made progress, but what Yuan Zhou wanted was to go from simple to difficult. The difficulty had to be gradually increased. However, Yuan Zhouâs simplicity was a little different from others âsimplicity.
âMaster.â Master Cheng greeted him politely.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head and waited for master Chengâs next sentence. As a master, he understood his disciple quite well.
âItâs like this. Didnât the group of young chefs of the green Chef society learn knife skills from master? But master, your knife skills are too powerful and not suitable for them, so I was thinking if I should let them learn from me. â âIn this way, you can save more time, master,â master Cheng said.
Yuan Zhou thought for a while. His 108 character from Water Margin would indeed be finished by tomorrow. On the one hand, his âsimpleâ knife skills would be hard to reduce if he still had to.
On the other hand, Yuan Zhou had a lot of ideas recently and he was indeed short of time.
With the main quest and the admiration of a master, the systemâs mysterious gift bag had to be very attractive.
He also had to host the exchange meeting of young chefs. The exchange meeting had already entered the top 10, and Yuan Zhou would go there in the next round.
âThe green Chef tournament is my business, not yours,â said Yuan Zhou.
âMaster, your words are too meaningless. Your matters are my matters, and my matters are still my own matters.â Master Cheng said immediately.
âMaster, please donât be polite with your disciple!â Master Cheng added.
âIndeed. Itâs the best for them to follow you now. But will you have a problem with the timing?â Yuan Zhou didnât want to affect the process of recruiting girls.
âNo, because in order to keep up with masterâs steps, I also have to practice my cutting skills in the afternoon, so thereâs no problem at all.â Master Cheng said.
âFind some time and Iâll see your cutting skills.â Yuan Zhou agreed with master Chengâs proposal.
Master Cheng was very happy, because Yuan Zhou said that because he wanted to give him some personal guidance.
âWhenever master has time, I will.â Master Cheng said immediately.
âAlright,â he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then made an appointment. After that, master Cheng went back to his restaurant.
The main reason why Yuan Zhou agreed was that he really wanted to improve the culinary skills of Liao Yue and the others of the green Chef society, not just for show. Master Cheng was indeed very suitable.
