Chapter 83 The visitor

On this day, all the elders gathered at the Guangdong Chefs Association. Master Luo Tian was also yawning and leaning back in his seat with sleepy eyes.

Seeing that everyone was present, Elder Li said, "Let's have the Guangdong Chefs Association elders' meeting... Luo Tian, ​​if you feel bored, you can leave directly."

"Really? Then I'm leaving."

Master Luo Tian got up and left without saying a word.

These days he has been busy teaching Xu Qing. Xu Qing's skills have improved extremely rapidly. He racks his brains every day to learn things from his body to teach him. However, Xu Qing is like a huge sponge. No matter how much knowledge he has, Xu Qing can absorb it thoroughly.

Master Luo Tian spent time every night organizing his experience and knowledge, so that he could have something new to teach the next day. Therefore, he slept a little less than usual these days, but his spirit became more excited. After all, he would never meet another extraordinary boy like Xu Qing in his life.

Sometimes he even felt that he had accumulated decades of skills and experience just for this moment, to guide young people like this.

If Elder Li had not required all the elders to be present, he really didn't want to come. It would be such a waste of time.

"Come back here!"

Veins bulged on Elder Li’s forehead.

"Ugh."

Master Luo Tian sighed heavily and sat back in his seat.

I knew it wouldn't be that easy.

Luo Tian's obvious dissatisfaction immediately made Elder Li furious.

Seeing that the situation was somewhat tense, Shen Hong quickly acted as a peacemaker and advised, "Luo Tian, ​​Elder Li requires all of us to be present. It must be something important. You should restrain yourself a little. After all, you are also an elder of the Guangdong Chefs Association."

Others also advised: "Yes, Elder Li, don't be angry with Luo Tian. He has been like this for so many years and has not changed at all. It's useless to be angry with him."

Elder Li took a deep breath, and then suppressed his anger, and continued: "I summoned all of you here for an important matter. Do you still remember Elder Wu Cheng?"

"Wu Cheng? Of course I remember. Didn't he go to the Imperial City at the request of the former head of the Imperial Kitchen? It is said that he has great prestige in the Imperial Kitchen."

Elder Li nodded and said, "Yes, I received a letter from Wu Cheng a few days ago. He is coming back from the Imperial City."

"Why come back now?"

"Wu Cheng is getting old now, he probably wants to return to his hometown."

"That makes sense."

Elder Li remained silent. He always felt that there were other reasons, but it was hard to say now.

Elder Li said, "He is a person who has returned from the Imperial City. He is of great status. He has returned home with honor this time. We at the Guangzhou Chefs Association cannot let him look down on us. Therefore, I have decided to hold a welcome banquet, and the chefs from various restaurants in Guangzhou will serve him their signature dishes."

"Okay, I'll contact you right away."

The elders spoke up.

Elder Li looked at Luo Tian and said, "Luo Tian, ​​you are the only one among the elders who still serves as the head chef. You have always been lazy, so don't be careless this time."

"Do not worry."

Master Luo Tian said, yawning.

Elder Li shook his head and sighed upon seeing this, too lazy to be angry with him anymore.

The meeting ended and the elders left.

Shen Hong stayed behind, waiting for Luo Tian to leave together. Luo Tian has always been a lone ranger in the Guangdong Chefs Association. He has a good relationship with everyone, does not form cliques, and does not compete for fame and fortune. He comes and goes leisurely every day, happy and at ease.

Although Elder Li disliked him, Luo Tian was the least worrying person among the Guangdong Chefs Association.

Shen Hong's relationship with Luo Tian was ordinary before, limited to greeting each other when they met. However, after the incident of the black-bone chicken, he had a good impression of Yangquan Restaurant, and his relationship with Luo Tian became closer.

Shen Hong asked: "What do you think about this matter?"

"What do you think?"

"We both know Wu Cheng well. He is not a pushover. He cares about face and pursues fame and fortune. When he left Guangzhou for the Imperial City, he was so excited that he hoped to become a phoenix. I'm afraid this kind of person will die in the Imperial City and never come back. Now that he has suddenly returned, I don't think it's a good thing."

Luo Tian raised his eyebrows and said, "I think Elder Li thinks so too, otherwise he wouldn't have asked us to contact all the major restaurants and bring out their best dishes to entertain him. We call it a treat, but in fact we want to give him a warning and let him know that the Guangdong Chefs' Association is not a place he can mess around with, even if he is from the Imperial City."

Shen Hong nodded and said, "Yes, this reception will decide who will be the boss of the Guangzhou Chefs Association in the future, our Guangzhou chefs or Wu Cheng, the fierce dragon from across the river. If Wu Cheng gets the upper hand, Guangzhou will probably have no peace in the future. Luo Tian, ​​you can't hide your skills this time, you have to show your true strength."

"Don't worry, I know what's appropriate."

"Oh, by the way, why not call the boy who cooked last time to come along as well? His cooking skills are good enough to be the head chef of a large restaurant. Even in Guangzhou, he would be ranked top. I'll feel more at ease with him around."

Luo Tian shook his head and said, "He is still a child. Don't bother him with these things. The most important thing for him now is to study, not to get involved in such boring things."

After hearing what Luo Tian said, Shen Hong no longer insisted. If the adults like them couldn't do anything, it would be useless to call a child over.

After returning to Yangquan Restaurant, Master Luo Tian deliberately sent Xu Qing away and asked him to run along the river to exercise his physical fitness.

Xu Qing had no doubts about it. During the time he studied with Master Luo Tian, ​​he realized more deeply the importance of physical fitness.

In particular, many of Master Luo Tian’s experience and skills are based on his strong physique. If Xu Qing wants to integrate these experience and skills, he must first lay a solid foundation.

Master Luo Tian then gathered all the chefs and told them what had happened.

After hearing this, everyone was keenly aware of the impending storm, and couldn't help but look uneasy.

"Okay, stop standing there and get moving. What are you afraid of with me here?"

Master Luo Tian clapped his hands and urged everyone to get busy.

After hearing what he said, everyone's anxious hearts suddenly settled down.

Yes, with Master Luo Tian here, what do they have to be afraid of?

He looks like an idle old man on weekdays. Apart from lying down and drinking, he basically does nothing every day. He orders Master Jidi to do all the things.

But when it comes to big things, it is indeed Master Luo Tian who has to step in to make people feel at ease.

Luo Tian walked up to Jidi, patted his shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, Jidi, I have to cook the dishes this time."

Normally he threw everything to Jidi, making Jidi the de facto chef, but when it came time to be in the limelight, he had to take the position from Jidi, which made him feel a little guilty.

Jidi's face looked a little lonely. He knew his own business, and in this situation, it would be best for Master Luo Tian to take action.

"Master, please let me assist you."

Jidi clasped his fists and bowed. Even if he could only help a little, he wanted to do his best to contribute to Yangquan Restaurant and Guangzhou.

Master Luo Tian said with a smile: "Okay, let's join forces and do something great!"
