Tan Li originally thought that she would like French food.
After all, the quantity is small and expensive. At first glance, Tan Li felt that this thing probably wouldn’t fill her up, which was very much in line with the image of a rich lady that she wanted.
Tan Li ate slowly from appetizers to fish dishes. She didn’t want to say how it tasted, but she thought it was good because of the fragrance of money.
until–
Tan Li frowned: “I don’t like bloody meat, give me a bloodless one.”
The waiter was confused. The temperature of the meat dishes was carefully set by the chef. The beautiful red chef had put so much thought into it. Customers who came to such a restaurant would basically not ask to change the menu that the chef had carefully prepared. But now…
Waiter: “Miss, this is using low temperature…”
”I said -” Tan Li glanced at him, “give me a change.”
”Miss, please wait a moment. I’ll change it for you right away!” The waiter trembled, put the plate in front of Tan Li and ran away.
Wu Xiu was also affected by Tan Li’s sudden feeling of oppression. Her hands trembled, and the metal knife and fork made a crisp sound on the plate.
This voice brought Tan Li back to her senses.
Love and peace, love and peace, love and peace…
Tan Li muttered to herself three times before she put away her anger. “It seems I don’t like French food as much as I thought.”
Wu Xiu felt the pressure on her heart disappear all of a sudden, and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, “It’s okay, Dali doesn’t like it, we won’t come here to eat next time!”
”By the way, our aunt is very good at stewing Dongpo pork. Can I ask her to make some for you to try next time?”
Tan Li: “Okay.”
Just no blood.
In a moment, the little accident just now was over in Tan Li’s mind.
She has moved on, but some people haven’t.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
There was a slow knock at the door.
A man in a black chef’s uniform and a black chef’s hat walked in.
As an aspiring chef, Shi Jiasen hates those who pretend to know everything and tell him what to cook.
He was polite but a little arrogant. “Hello, miss. What do you think of our Wagyu beef?”
Tan Li: “With blood.”
Shi Jiasen’s eyes twitched, “This is to keep the beef as tender as possible…”
Tan Li: “With blood.”
Shi Jiasen: “…If ingredients like Wagyu are fully cooked, the taste will be completely different.”
Tan Li: “It’s okay, I don’t mind.”
Shi Jiasen took a few deep breaths and said, “Why don’t you try it before commenting on it? If you don’t even taste it, how can you tell that you don’t like this dish?”
”I guarantee that customers will fall in love with the taste after just one bite.”
Seeing that he was getting more and more excited, Tan Li leaned back and asked, “Why?”
Shi Jiasen frowned, “This main dish took our team half a year to research. During this time, we tried dozens of different types of beef, cooking time, sauces, and aging methods. You think it’s a simple steak, but it’s the result of more than half a year of hard work by our entire team.”
”Why do you ignore other people’s hard work?”
The waiter behind him was stamping his feet in anxiety. The chef’s old problem came back again!
Tan Li smiled softly, “What does that have to do with me?”
”Just because you put in the effort, do others have to accept it? Who do you think you are?”
Tan Li stood up and took a step closer to Shi Jiasen——
”You should be thankful that I have a good temper.” Tan Li smiled and turned to Wu Xiu, “Mom, I don’t want to eat this meal anymore. Let’s go.”
Wu Xiu felt that the thin air had finally returned a little, “Ah, ah… OK.”
Just as Wu Xiu was about to stand up, Shi Jiasen stopped in front of Tan Li and said, “Indeed, it’s not that I put in the effort and others must accept it, but I won’t accept your use of such absurd reasons to deny my cooking.”
Tan Li:?
Man, when did she deny his cooking? She just simply asked to replace the bloody meat with bloodless meat.
In the environment where Tan Li lived in the past, most of these unreasonable people died in the initial period of time, and the remaining few became buried corpses along with everyone else except her in subsequent battles.
Oh, there is another possibility, the body is gone and turned into ashes.
After returning to real life, everyone Tan Li met was friendly to her because she was a real daughter, no matter what they thought in their hearts. But when she suddenly met such a proud and stubborn person, Tan Li got angry for a moment, but her attitude changed to the kindness of an old person looking at a young child.
Tan Li said earnestly, “Young man, don’t be so short-tempered. There are so many weird people in the world. If you want to obey everyone, you will only get mad at yourself.”
Shi Jiasen’s face flushed immediately. “Who are you calling a youngster? Do you know how old I am? It’s ok that the little girl has no taste, but how can you not distinguish between the old and the young!”
Finished!
The waiter behind Shi Jiasen covered his face. The chef was no longer conscious and began to say that she had no taste in front of the guests.
The waiter glanced at Wu Xiu secretly, gritted his teeth, and ran out.
Wu Xiu, seeing that Tan Li was not at the disadvantage in the argument, did not think of trying to persuade her. She always felt that Tan Li had a lot of things hidden in her heart, and it would be a good thing to have a chance to vent.
”Ah… you like to show off your age and experience…” Tan Li said with a “tsk”, “You remind me of some people I don’t want to think of again.”
Tan Li said calmly, “I won’t bother with you anymore, just get out of the way.”
Tan Li didn’t know that her expression of “I’m magnanimous and I don’t care about you” was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, overwhelming the remaining bit of rationality in Shi Jiasen’s mind.
Shi Jiasen: “Who cares about who?! I don’t want to entertain customers like you who don’t understand the aesthetics of cooking and who come to Internet celebrity restaurants just to follow the trend!”
Tan Li: “Well, if you don’t want to entertain, I won’t come in the future. We both have a bright future.”
Shi Jiasen choked.
He was not good at arguing with others and felt that it was bad luck to meet such a tasteless guest today.
He stared at Tan Li and was about to say something about his serious pursuit of cooking, but Tan Li suddenly looked towards the door of the box.
Shi Jiasen:?
Before Shi Jiasen could react, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
”Aunt Xiu!” the visitor asked in surprise, “How come you have time to come here today?”
A man with a few strands of misty blue hair appeared at the door.
Huh?
”Xiao Xu? You came to the restaurant too?” Tan Li looked at the man who had just appeared strangely, and then heard Wu Xiu say this.
Ying Xu smiled and approached Wu Xiu, saying kindly, “What a coincidence! I just happened to have an appointment with a friend to come here today. I just got to know that Aunt Xiu is coming too, so I pushed my schedule with my friend.”
Wu Xiu seemed to like Ying Xu very much, “Hahaha, you young people can just play together, what’s the point of eating with us old people.”
Ying Xu: “Aunt Xiu, what are you talking about? You are so young, and people who don’t know you will say you are my sister when you go out.”
Wu Xiu: “You are such a sweet-talker, kid.”
”Aunt Xiu, look at what you said. I am speaking from the heart.” He glanced at Tan Li calmly, and his gaze lingered for a second.
Tan Li:?
What’s wrong with young people these days? Are they so hostile the first time they meet?
Ying Xu looked at the cold main dish on the table and said with a smile, “What’s wrong? Is the dish not to Aunt Xiu’s taste?”
Wu Xiu paused, “Well, I don’t like it very much.”
After saying this, Shi Jiasen became even more angry. He ignored the boss in front of him and said, “Mrs. Tan, please forgive me for being blunt. This main dish is exactly the same as the set meal you usually ordered before. It only adds some seasonal flavors to the sauce.”
Tan Li: “I’m the one who doesn’t like your food, so don’t be sarcastic to my mom.”
After she came back, Wu Xiu was the best person to her. She was a protective person and couldn’t bear to see people who were good to her suffer any injustice.
Tan Li’s tone was a little colder than before, “Your dishes are full of your self-satisfied arrogance. What? Is it the world’s fault for not understanding you? I have no taste if I don’t know how to appreciate it?”
”Who do you think you are, someone high and mighty one?”
”Let me put it bluntly: unpalatable.”
Shi Jiasen was stunned.
For the first time in his life, the youngest gold medal winner in the history of the French BGS World Cooking Competition was told that his cooking was unpalatable.
Shi Jiasen: “How do you know it tastes bad if you haven’t eaten it?”
Tan Li sneered, “Does cooking only depend on eating? Color, fragrance, and taste, you can’t even do the first two things well, how dare you do that?”
A bubbling lava hell suddenly appeared before her eyes. The person who could turn decay into magic under the most scarce material conditions and bring them delicious food was lost in such a lava.
He didn’t even have time to scream. As soon as he turned his head, he could only see his hands reaching towards the sky for life, and then they were slowly swallowed up…
A surge of anger suddenly rose in Tan Li’s heart. If that person could survive, he would definitely do better and be more successful than the person in front of him, open a bigger store, and become a world-famous chef!
…
”Da Li.” A pair of warm hands embraced Tan Li’s shoulders.
Tan Li turned her head in a daze and saw Wu Xiu looking at her tenderly, “If you don’t like this restaurant, forget it. Mom will take Dali to eat lots of delicious food in the future, okay?”
Tan Li: “…Okay.”
But, there is no if…
Ying Xu narrowed his eyes and sneered silently.
But in a moment, his face was full of smiles again, “I’m sorry that Aunt Xiu and this person… had a bad experience this time. I’ll treat you this meal, and I’ll apologize to Aunt Xiu next time.”
”No need.” Wu Xiu, who has always been very approachable, showed her noble side as a lady, “Xiao Xu, you should pay more attention to the quality of service in your restaurant.”
Ying Xu smiled apologetically, “Yes, yes, I know, Ah-sen has always had high aspirations for his career, and he got carried away all of a sudden, please forgive me.”
Wu Xiu did not comment on his excuses.
Wu Xiu: “Okay, Dali and I will leave today. Come to Auntie’s house for dinner when you have time.”
Ying Xu laughed, “Of course! Even if Auntie doesn’t call me, I will come by myself.”
”Oh, right.” Ying Xu suddenly asked cautiously, “Aunt Xiu, I bought Manman her favorite macarons and wanted to deliver them to her door in person, but she…”
Ying Xu looked pitiful, “Aunt Xiu, can you help me bring it to her?”
Seeing him being so humble, Wu Xiu sighed secretly, “Okay, bring it here.”
Ying Xu was so happy that he looked like a fool. “Auntie Xiu, wait a minute! Right away! I’ll get it right away!”
As soon as he left, Tan Li felt a shadow in front of him.
Tan Li slowly raised her head and met Shi Jiasen’s persistent eyes.
