âI didnât expect you to come today.â Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing went up to them. Ling Hong said with a slightly worried tone.
âOf course, today is your big day.â Manion smiled and said gently.
âThank you,â she said. Ruan Xiaoqing bowed slightly and thanked him sincerely.
âYouâre welcome,â Manion looked at ruan Xiaoqing and shook his head.
âIâll bring you to have a seat. Head chef Yuan is here today.â Ling Hong didnât stop ruan Xiaoqing from doing that. He only said that after she finished bowing.
âNo need, I wonât stay for long.â Manion shook his head.
âThen, you âŠâ Ruan Xiaoqing and Ling Hong looked at Manion worriedly and said hesitantly.
âItâs nothing. Iâm here to give you the gifts that my wife and I have prepared.â Manion looked at the gift box in his hand and said in a warm tone.
âThank you,â he said. Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing said in unison.
âYouâre welcome. You know that Sharon and Xiao Qing were very close back then, so we prepared this.â Manion shook his head.
âThank you, Mr. Manion. Thank you, Sharon.â Ruan Xiaoqing was a little choked up. She turned her head and closed her eyes slightly, then turned her head to thank him.
âYouâre welcome. I hope youâll be happy forever. â Manion gave the box to Ling Hong solemnly and then warned him.
âWe will,â Ling Hong tilted his head and said to ruan Xiaoqing gently.
âThatâs good. Iâm leaving. â Manion nodded and left.
âMr. Manion, I hope youâll be well.â Ruan Xiaoqing said to Manionâs back.
âI know. Otherwise, Sharon will be angry.â Manion said with a gentle smile.
Ruan Xiaoqing and Ling Hong just watched Manion turn around and leave. He stood at the entrance of the banquet hall for quite a while before ruan Xiaoqing said,â
âAh Hong, thank you.â Ruan Xiaoqing said.
âNo, I should be the one thanking you.â Ling Hong bent over and planted a kiss on ruan Xiaoqingâs forehead. Then, he continued,ââLetâs go in, everyoneâs here. â
âAlright,â he said. Ruan Xiaoqing nodded.
âYou have to be happy today. Weâll only get married once in our lives. After all, you canât remarry.â Ling Hong teased ruan Xiaoqing when he saw that she was a little depressed.
âI know. Iâll marry you even if I have to remarry.â Ruan Xiaoqing let go of the worry and fear in her heart and said with a smile.
âItâs good that you know. Youâve been firmly trapped by me. â Ling Hong held ruan Xiaoqingâs hand and signaled her to look at the huge diamond ring on his ring finger.
âI said it was too exaggerated. This is too big.â Ruan Xiaoqing couldnât help but say in a good mood.
Thatâs right. Ruan Xiaoqing was wearing Ling Hongâs wedding ring on her ring finger. It was really big and stood out on ruan Xiaoqingâs slender fingers. She didnât know if it was beautiful, but she felt that it was a little heavy.
âThis is all the money Iâve earned in the past few years, you have to take good care of it.â Ling Hong said with a smile.
âYes, yes, yes, I know.â Ruan Xiaoqing smiled helplessly.
The main table wasnât very far from the entrance of the banquet hall, so the two of them quickly returned to the main table.
Naturally, the small talk was done by Ling Hong. He told Xiaoqing the reason why they got married so soon.
Ling Hong still said the same thing. He hoped to have a proper identity as soon as possible. When he said that, all the people at the scene smiled kindly.
Ling Hongâs mother even said to ruan Xiaoqingâs parents with a smile,ââThis kid is a little out of line, but heâs a good person. Please donât mind him, in-laws.â
âNo, no, itâs Xiao Qingâs good fortune to have met Ah Hong.â Ruan Xiaoqingâs parents quickly waved their hands.
âThis isnât right. Itâs that kidâs good fortune.â Ling Hongâs father shook his head and said earnestly,ââThe kid has grown up and matured.â
âYes, it has matured.â Ling Hongâs mother couldnât help sighing with emotion.
This made ruan Xiaoqingâs parents speechless for a moment.
Fortunately, the atmosphere was good and nobody paid attention to that. After Ling Hong finished speaking, the waiters started to serve the dishes one after another.
Ling Hong also sat down with ruan Xiaoqing and waited for the meal.
This wedding not only invited close friends and family, but it was also extremely simple and did not have any complicated ceremony.
It was because Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing had already finished the ring exchange themselves.
It was equivalent to everyone sitting together for a meal. Although it was less formal and a little simple, it was warm.
When the dishes were served, Ling Hong stood up again and said to everyone,ââAfter lunch, Xiao Qing and I decided to go on a honeymoon.â
âItâs good. Iâve been wanting to relax for a long time. â Jiang Changxi said immediately.
âIf boss Yuan wasnât unwilling to travel around with me, I would also go out to have a look.â The one who said that was naturally Wu Hai.
âNo, Iâm not going. Iâm just like Xiao Ya.â Yuan Zhou refused her primly.
Stroking his small mustaches, Wu Hai intended to persuade Yuan Zhou to give up the idea, but he gave up the idea after thinking for a while.
âYes, yes, yes. A honeymoon is a must.â
âHave fun, have fun.â
âYoung people should go out and see the world. Itâs good.â
âIn the past, you guys were busy with work. Now, this is time to play. Have fun.â
Everyone supported him wholeheartedly, even Ling Hongâs parents and ruan Xiaoqingâs parents.
âThen, Sister Jiang, you have to show mercy to my company. I have a family now. Donât let you take over the company when Iâm not around.â Ling Hong said jokingly.
âI know. Donât worry. Iâll leave you the money for the milk powder.â Jiang Changxi stroked her hair and said generously.
âThen I really have to thank Sister Jiang.â After Ling Hong said that, he immediately said to ruan Xiaoqing coquettishly,ââHoney, Iâm afraid the company will be in danger when we get back. You have to support me then.â
âDonât mess around,â Ruan Xiaoqing was a little shy and couldnât help tugging Ling Hongâs sleeve.
âIâm serious. Look, all my assets are with you. â Ling Hong leaned his head on ruan Xiaoqingâs shoulder and said.
âAlright, alright, I know.â Ruan Xiaoqing agreed helplessly. Then, Ling Hong stood up.
âTsk, this dog food.â Jiang Changxi looked at Ling Hong with contempt, but Wu Hai didnât notice it at all. He was waiting for the dishes to be served wholeheartedly.
The dishes were served one after another. One could tell that there were quite a lot of dishes. At that time, Ling Hong turned his head and said to Yuan Zhou,ââToday is my wedding banquet with Xiao Qing. Did you make any special dishes?â
Without waiting for Yuan Zhouâs answer, Ling Hong held up ruan Xiaoqingâs hand and continued,ââYou know, weâre going on our honeymoon trip soon. Itâs been a long time since we last ate the dishes in your restaurant.â
âYeah. Iâll definitely miss the dishes you cook, boss Yuan.â Ruan Xiaoqing nodded in agreement.
âAlthough I donât open a branch, you can come back at any time if you want to eat it. My shop has always been in Taoxi road.â Yuan Zhou said indifferently.
Both Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing were stunned when they heard that. But soon, Ling Hong said,ââOf course, as long as Xiao Qing wants to eat, we will immediately come back.â
âYes.â Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
At that time, almost all the dishes were served. Ling Hong stood up again and told everyone to start eating.
The banquet didnât last long. About an hour later, all the guests at the three tables put down their chopsticks.
The plates and cups on the table were clean, and everyone had finished the food.
At that time, Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing also stood up and started to see the guests off.
Apart from ruan Xiaoqingâs parents and Ling Hongâs parents, Yuan Zhou and Yin ya were the last to leave.
Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing didnât thank them until they saw them off at the entrance of the hotel.
âThank you, compass.â Ling Hong said.
âThank you, boss Yuan. Thank you, Xiaoya.â Ruan Xiaoqing also thanked him again.
âYouâre welcome. Youâve thanked us so many times today. If you continue to say more, Yuan Zhou and I will be unhappy. â Yin ya shook her head and said.
âYes, I wonât say it.â Ruan Xiaoqing nodded in agreement.
âHave a safe journey.â Yuan Zhou said.
âOf course, weâll fly to the Aegean Sea in the afternoon. I heard that the sea there is very blue, and little Qing has long wanted to go and see it.â Ling Hong said while holding little Qingâs hand tightly.
âYeah, I heard that itâs very beautiful there.â Ruan Xiaoqing nodded.
âWill it be too tiring if we fly directly in the afternoon?â Yin ya asked worriedly.
âNo, Hong said he booked the plane. That way, we can rest on the plane.â Ruan Xiaoqing shook her head.
ââŠâ Speechless, Yin ya thought in her heart,ââAlright, I donât understand the world of the nouveau riche.â
âSee you next time,â Yuan Zhou said.
âAlright, see you next time.â Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing nodded in unison.
Then, Yuan Zhou left while holding Yin yaâs hand.
âI wonder when I can eat the wedding wine of boss Yuan and Xiaoya.â Ruan Xiaoqing said while looking at the back of Yuan Zhou and Yin ya.
âI think itâll be soon. Compass doesnât talk much, but heâs quite a man of action.â Ling Hong said.
âYes, Xiaoya will definitely be very happy.â Ruan Xiaoqing said.
âYou will too.â âWeâll come back after compass gets married,âLing Hong tilted his head and continued.
âAlright,â he said. Ruan Xiaoqing replied softly.
On the other side, Yuan Zhou held Yin yaâs hand and walked towards the parking lot. When they walked to Yin yaâs car, Yuan Zhou suddenly said,ââI can do it too.â
âWhat?â Yin ya revealed a dumbfounded look.
âI can also book a plane to take you on a honeymoon.â Yuan Zhou looked at Yin ya earnestly and said.
âTeng.â As soon as Yin ya heard the word âhoneymoon,â her face turned red at once.
âWhat are you talking about? Iâm not envious. I donât need to book a plane. I can just go like this.â Yin ya said with a flustered tone.
After saying that, Yin ya felt a little upset. It seemed that she had already agreed to the proposal, but she obviously didnât want to say it so impatiently.
âIâm done for. I can go even if I donât book the plane. Will blockhead think that Iâm in a hurry to marry him?â Yin ya couldnât help but hold the handle tightly, not knowing how to remedy the situation.
Just when Yin ya was hesitating, Yuan Zhou spoke again.
âItâs fine, I have enough money. â âIâve saved a lot of money. Itâs definitely enough,âYuan Zhou said.
ââŠâ Yin ya felt both helpless and funny in her heart. At the same time, she felt that the title of âblockheadâ of Yuan Zhou was indeed true to its name. She had been struggling for a long time in vain.
âI know you have a lot of money. Go back quickly, Iâll give you a ride.â Yin ya opened the car door and said unhappily.
âYes, sure.â Yuan Zhou sensitively felt that Yin ya seemed to be a little unhappy, but he didnât quite understand what she meant. He just got into the car quickly and sat down according to Yin yaâs instructions. Then, he fastened the seat belt and appeared to be very obedient.
âLetâs go,â Yin ya started the car and left the garage. Then, she drove to Yuan Zhouâs restaurant slowly.
While Yuan Zhou was on his way back, Japan on the other side was very lively.
It was because the recent Japan cooking circle was like a Festival. After all, dashi xiujie didnât disappoint the public and won the first place in the young chef exchange meeting.
Immediately after, Fujiwara Jiayuan, the chairman of the Japan chefs âAlliance branch, personally wrote a praise and published it in the Asahi News.
The title was âthe most likely person to open up the path of Japan cuisine,ââChi Chi,ââdashi xiujie.â
Looking at this title, one could imagine how much tengyuan Jiayuan valued dashi xiujie.
However, taking a step back, there were so many Japan chefs in their 30s who came to the Sino-Japan Exchange meeting, but now they were all left far behind by dashi xiujie. It was not wrong to say so.
âAfter hundreds of years of development, we are mainly divided into: âLocal cuisine, table cuisine, University cuisine, Kaishi cuisine, refined cuisine, and so on. There are mainly three categories, namely banquet, Kaishi cuisine, and local cuisine. There are fine and detailed ones. As the chairman of the Japan famous chefs Alliance branch, I have always wanted to explore the cuisines of our Thousand Islands country again. There has been progress but it has not met my expectations, so I am very distressed.
Until a few days ago, I was invited to be the judge of the young chefs âexchange meeting. This event was founded by the Imperial Grandmaster Yuan Zhou. In the finals, dashi xiujieâs improved version of Fukuoka chicken hotpot won first place with a score of 26.8. When I looked at dashi xiujie, I thought it through. In fact, the younger generation already has their own ideas about many things, that is, the future of our food belongs to them. â
Next, Fujiwara Jiayuan described some of dashi xiujieâs resume. Dashi xiujie had established a food and beverage brand and had seven branches. He was indeed a capable person.
Finally, tengyuan Jiayuan concluded at the end of the article,â
âDashi is very similar to Yuan Zhou, the Grandmaster of the Empire. First of all, dashi and Lord Yuan are both very persistent people. They run in the morning every day. Dashi has also learned many of Lord Yuanâs excellent qualities, such as processing the ingredients himself, doing everything by himself, and being 100% serious about food. Now that dashi is about to be guided by Lord Yuan, I believe even more that dashi will have a bright future. He will be the little Yuan Zhou of our thousand-island country!â
In fact, it was really hard to understand. The Asahi News was also a relatively serious international newspaper, but it could naturally report the Chuunibyou title of the Empireâs Grandmaster.
With the endorsement of Fujiwara Jiayuan, dashi xiujieâs status in the Japan cooking circle had improved a lot. Moreover, the title of âlittle Yuan Zhou of the thousand-island nationâ was also quoted and approved by other reports.
There were also reports that dashi xiujie would change from âlittle Yuan Zhou of Japanâ to âYuan Zhou of Japanâ sooner or later.
The reason why he added the word âsmallâ was that he was well aware that dashi xiujie was still far from Yuan Zhou.
The Japan reports basically ignored Kosen, who had won the award together with them. However, the domestic reports did not ignore him, especially in Guizhou. They were definitely reporting on him without restraint.
âRenowned chef of Guizhou, Kosen, standing out from the worldâs famous chefsâ or âthe birth of Yuan Zhouâs second apprenticeâ.
It was said that master Cheng was so angry when he saw the report that he almost tore down the newspaper office.
When Kosen returned home, his father, who had always been serious to him, was also smiling.
âNot bad, you didnât let me down.â Colin said,âactually, when I said that I would eat a metal pot if I lost, that was also to stimulate your motivation. You are my son. If I really lost, I wouldnât let you eat a metal pot.â
âIs that so?â Kosen did not believe this at all. After all, who knew who the Father was?
Of course, there were also other countries that failed to make the cut, such as Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and so on. They pretended as if nothing had happened. After all, in the circle, people still cared about their pride.
It could be said that the young chefs âexchange meet had officially come to an end.
