Ye Zhongnan clenched his fists, but he wouldn't show it. He just felt an even stronger hatred for the fake Ye Zhongnan.

Having gained valuable experience through the culinary competition, Chen Xu has now calmed down and is more at ease.

He began to humbly learn cooking skills from Ye Zhongnan.

Ye Zhongnan also taught him the simplest way to make stew in an iron pot.

There's really no secret to it; it's just about cooking with care.

Xiaoxi also learned the whole story. It was good that her second brother had taken on an apprentice. He wouldn't have to do everything himself at the snack shop anymore, which would be too tiring.

Xiaoxi helped her second brother collect the iron pot artifact.

She went to an iron pot factory and ordered a set of iron pots that were so realistic they were indistinguishable from the real thing, which she kept in her spiritual veins for 7 days.

The newly crafted iron pot also possessed spiritual power, so Chen Xu could use it to make delicious food just like before.

As for the real iron wok, Xiaoxi patiently explained it to her brother, and said she would take it out when he needed it later.

Second Brother understood that Xiao Xi didn't distrust his newly accepted apprentice, but there are always differences in the closeness or distance in relationships between people.

With an apprentice like Chen Xu, Ye Zhongnan basically doesn't need to lift a finger, and Yongfang Mahjong Parlor doesn't need to cook noodles anymore.

All of these snack shops are run by Ye Zhongnan's apprentices, so it doesn't matter where you eat, mahjong players.

Xu Yongfang's skills in cooking noodles and preparing side dishes have also greatly improved.

Because the vegetable garden behind Yongfang Mahjong Parlor is now more abundant, and these vegetables are all spiritual vegetables from Xiaoxinong.

The vegetables are exactly the same as those in her own online store.

Dishes made with these vegetables are bound to be good.

Dong Pingping, who suffered from anorexia, has now been completely cured and has regained the appearance of a 22-year-old young woman.

Ye Zhongnan was very reassured that she was in charge of managing the accounting and finances of Guangdajie Street.

Ye Zhongnan then sold his goods on Guangda Street.

Time flies, and the New Year is just around the corner. Xiaoxi is on winter vacation and spends her days drinking tea and reading books with her second brother in the small wooden house in the manor.

That day, the gardener, Afan, suddenly came to the cabin to report.

"Young Master, a five-star hotel chef, Mr. Ding, and an elderly gentleman have come to visit. Should we see them or not?"

Ye Zhongnan was puzzled. He had not had any dealings with any five-star chefs since returning to Shanghai.

Who could this be?

Xiaoxi was also curious. She put down the snack in her hand. Her intuition told her that the person who came must be someone special.

So she went to the small living room with her second brother.

Xiaoxi saw that the chef was probably in his forties, and there was also an old gentleman with white hair.

The old man was sitting in a wheelchair, clearly very old and frail. He was in extremely poor health and had actually fallen asleep.

The chef, Ding Li, immediately stood up when he saw Xiao Xi and her brother enter.

"Mr. Ye may not remember me. I was a judge in the recent Food Street Chef Competition. My name is Ding Li. Mr. Ye won the championship, which left a very deep impression on me."

A few days ago, I was in my father's study when I saw him organizing photos. I noticed that there was someone in the photos who looked very much like you. This person was my father's most outstanding student.

I mentioned you then. My father is very old, but he insisted on coming to see you today.

Ding Li felt uneasy about the sudden visit from the father and son.

Before Ding Li could finish speaking, Ye Zhongnan had already walked quickly to the old man's side.

He excitedly grasped the old man's hands, "Master!"
