The Cheat Emperor of the Culinary World

Fu Yu had gone to see Liu Yunong yesterday, and Zhao Meng, feeling uneasy, had texted him midway to inquire.

Since Fu Yu hadn’t met Liu Yunong at the time, he replied only saying that she likely wanted to discuss something, but he’d only know what after they talked.

Knowing Zhao Meng was concerned for him, Fu Yu recounted the events of the previous night in detail.

Zhao Meng asked, ”Did she say she wants to teach you Liu Family Cuisine? That you should go over whenever you have time after work?”

Fu Yu nodded, ”Yes, that’s what she said.”

Zhao Meng chuckled, ”You’re really lucky, kid! You stumbled upon such a rare opportunity.”

Fu Yu chuckled.

Liu Family Cuisine is quite renowned.

Liu Yunong, with her exquisite culinary skills and the family recipes passed down through generations, had, in just a few years, successfully expanded her family’s business, blooming all over.

It’s the kind of opportunity many people yearn for but can’t have, yet it came so easily for Fu Yu.

Zhao Meng decisively said for Fu Yu, ”In that case, head over there after work in the future. Anyway, business at the store has been slow recently, and there aren’t many orders in the evening.”

It was essentially giving him a green light to leave early.

Fu Yu hesitated, ”No need, I can just go over during the daytime whenever possible...”

Zhao Meng interrupted Fu Yu straight away, ”Liu Yunong is so busy, she probably won’t stay long in Bei’an this time, it’s a rare chance. While she has time now and is willing to teach you, make sure you seize it. Alright, do as I say on this matter.”

Understanding Zhao Meng’s reasoning, Fu Yu nodded, ”Alright, I’ll go over tonight.”

Zhao Meng reminded with concern, ”Since Liu Yunong is interested in training you, pay attention yourself. Liu Family Cuisine is quite famous, there must be a lot of information online, read more when you have time. Masters prefer diligent and proactive apprentices. Now, instead of just having your name associated, you’re officially learning culinary skills under her, it’s a formal master-apprentice relationship. Remember to get her something when you go in the evening, don’t go empty-handed.”

Zhao Meng rambled on.

Fu Yu listened, his heart warm, repeatedly promising, half-joking, half-seriously saying, ”Chef Zhao, rest assured, when I finish learning, I’ll earn well and take good care of you! In my heart, you’ll always be my master chef!”

Zhao Meng playfully lifted his foot to kick, ”Tsk! Is there a distinction among masters? Once you’ve learned the craft from her, she’s your master too!”

Fu Yu chuckled, deftly sidestepping, ”Got it, got it! I mean, you’re the most important in my heart. Besides my parents, you’re the one I love the most!”

Zhao Meng, both amused and exasperated, looked at Fu Yu with pride. His apprentice was doing well, and as a master, he genuinely felt proud and followed with a sense of honor!
