Chapter 205 Heart knot
After returning to the Guangzhou government office, Li Yan revealed everything he knew about the dark cuisine world.

In fact, Li Yan didn’t know much. After all, he was not even Chef Lin. He was a low-level thug in the dark culinary world and didn’t have access to many secrets.

It's just that this time I followed Lai He to Guangzhou, and after I arrived there, people from the dark cuisine world came to meet me and take care of all the trivial matters, so I got to know Guangzhou better.

After Yu Liang got Li Yan's confession, he went to interrogate the thin old man. The thin old man saw that they all knew everything, so in order to save his life, he desperately confessed some secrets.

The thin old man had been in Guangzhou for a long time and could be said to be a local boss. His confession was much more detailed than Li Yan's.

Yu Liang was overjoyed after receiving the confession. He quickly organized officers and soldiers to launch a thunder attack to wipe out the influence of the dark cuisine world in Guangzhou. For a time, the cells in Guangzhou Prefecture were overcrowded.

However, most of those arrested were low-level thugs below Chef Lin, as well as the men in black who helped out.

Chef Lin and the elders, the real backbone of the dark cuisine world, were nowhere to be seen.

According to the thin old man and Li Yan, most of the core members will gather in the base camp of the dark cuisine world, which is Liangshanpo in Shandong, and will only be sent out when something happens.

Liangshan Lake was too far away. Yu Liang was only the local official in Guangzhou. He was already very conscientious in managing Guangzhou's affairs and maintaining peace. As for other matters, he should not be in charge and could not be in charge. All Yu Liang could do was to report everything he knew and see how his superiors would handle it.

The dark culinary world didn't expect that the people they sent out not only failed to complete the task, but two of them also rebelled, causing the power in Guangzhou to be uprooted. This was a huge loss.

As the leader of Guangzhou's culinary community, the Guangdong Chefs Association is naturally very concerned about the affairs of the dark cuisine world and has helped Yu Liang a lot in this regard.

While the Guangdong Chefs Association and the Guangzhou government were busy, the center of the storm, Xu Qing and his friends, finally returned to their peaceful life.

And there is something different in this peaceful life.

Since Meili returned to Yangquan Restaurant, she has brought a touch of bright and beautiful color to Yangquan Restaurant. This little girl is full of energy and wants to help with everything she sees. She is always busy.

The girl's hearty smile and clear voice are like a shining little sun, which can't help but infect people and add a bit of vitality to the always busy Yangquan Restaurant.

The chefs and regular diners of Yangquan Restaurant were all infected by Meili's enthusiasm. They felt more energetic while working, and the food tasted more delicious while eating.

Amidst the laughter and joy of the crowd, the only one who felt uncomfortable was Master Luo Tian.

Since Meili came back, Master Luo Tian can no longer lie leisurely on a lounge chair and bask in the sun.

Others, considering Master Luo Tian's status and prestige, did not dare to say anything about him.

Meili didn't care about all this. She tried every means to get Master Luo Tian moving every day.

After all, everyone else is busy, so how can Master Luo Tian, ​​the head chef of Yangquan Restaurant, sit idle like a salted fish!

Master Luo Tian couldn't persuade her and could only avoid her. He could no longer slack off openly. He could only do it stealthily like a thief, not daring to let her see him.

"Alas, the days before were more comfortable!"

Master Luo Tian couldn't help but complain.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "I feel that life is more comfortable now."

It’s so pleasant to see Master Luo Tian being chased by Meili every day!
Someone should have dealt with him long ago!

In the past, Master Luo Tian was not only old, but also highly respected. He was at the top of the food chain in Yangquan Restaurant. On weekdays, everyone would just complain to him at most, but they couldn't do anything about him.

Now Meili is here. Meili is young and just a little girl. The old man has no way to deal with children, so she has subdued Master Luo Tian.

This is called brine and tofu, and one thing is reduced.

Xu Qing thought happily. Master Luo Tian saw that Xu Qing was not on his side, so he sighed repeatedly with a miserable voice, trying to arouse Xu Qing's sympathy.

The two people who can control Meili now are her father Jidi and Xu Qing.

After the culinary showdown with the dark cuisine world, Meili almost turned into Xu Qing's little fan girl, doing whatever he said.

As long as Xu Qing speaks, Meili will definitely listen.

Xu Qing pretended not to hear.

After all, it was he who asked Meili to deal with Master Luo Tian. Now the effect is so good, he can't wait to increase the intensity. How could he possibly pause?
Xu Qing said, "Master, if you really have nothing to do, why don't you help us do more work? Master Jidi has been staying in his room lately and has been running Yangquan Restaurant by myself. I am so exhausted!"

Upon hearing this, Master Luo Tian glanced at Jidi's tightly closed door and said thoughtfully, "You should get used to it as soon as possible. You will probably be this tired in the future."

Xu Qing stopped what he was doing and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Did he go to visit Meixiang's grave with Li Yan before he went into seclusion?"

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Yes."

Master Luo Tian said: "It seems that he is finally going to untie the knot in his heart."

Heart knot?"

Xu Qing recalled what he felt when he first tasted the poached chicken made by Chef Jidi: exquisite dishes and delicate techniques. Unfortunately, such delicious dishes lacked any thoughtfulness, as if there was a high wall blocking everything.

That is the knot in Master Jidi's heart.

Now, he has resolved the misunderstanding with Li Yan, told the truth deep in his heart, and put an end to the past grievances and hatreds. Naturally, the knot in his heart from the past was untied.

Xu Qing said in surprise: "So, Master Jidi is about to understand his intention?"

Master Luo Tian shook his head and said, "It's not that easy, but he should be almost there. He has accumulated enough to pass the exam, and all he lacks is this final step. He could never get over the hurdle in his heart before, but now that the past is over, he can finally move forward."

Xu Qing asked in confusion: "If Master Jidi understands my intention, won't it reduce my workload? Why do you say it will be more tiring?"

Master Luo Tian glanced at Xu Qing and said, "You kid... do you think it's so easy to understand the mind? You can understand the mind after staying in the room for a while? Do you think it's like cooking beef? Jidi must leave Yangquan, travel around, increase his knowledge, and cultivate his mind and body. It will take at least several months or even years to understand the mind. During this time when he is away, Yangquan Restaurant still has to rely on you, right?"

Xu Qing's face suddenly fell, and he corrected: "It's not relying on me, it's relying on the two of us."

"Alas, I am old, and my arms and legs are not as flexible as you young people."

"Master, you are joking. You are still strong and healthy. Just your muscular body can beat two of mine."

"I am just puffy, puffy, do you understand?"

While the two were arguing, the closed door in front of them suddenly opened and Master Jidi walked out.

Xu Qing was about to step forward to greet him, but was stopped by Master Luo Tian.

Master Jidi just walked past them as if he didn't see them and went straight to the kitchen.

Xu Qing was surprised and asked, "What happened?"

Master Luo Tian stroked his beard and said, "His mind is now full of cooking, and he can't see other people or things. Let's go and taste what this dish he made tastes like."
