Chapter 587 The Imperial Chef

"Sweetie, we'll be in the capital soon. I'll take you to eat hot pot then, okay?" Gu Tingyun coaxed softly.

They are going to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad. After the competition, they can only stay in the capital for a few days before returning to school. They don't have time to make another trip to Dalian.

There isn't much time off after National Day, so if I want to go to Dalian, I'll have to wait until winter break.

Helian Jiao didn't know it was unlikely, so she changed her request: "I also want to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!"

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was the dish she was most satisfied with, besides the goldfish!

Gu Tingyun didn't agree immediately: "Sweetie, I need to go back and ask Grandpa if we can still reserve seats for National Day."

He can't casually promise his sweetheart things that are uncertain, because if he promises but can't keep it, his sweetheart will be sad!

“I’ll talk to Grandpa Li myself,” Helian Jiao said, raising her chin with a smug look on her face.

Grandpa Li will definitely make it for her!

Grandpa Li is the chef who makes Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. He really likes the fair-skinned, tender, and adorable Guaibao. He personally promised that he could make it anytime Guaibao comes.

The young man sitting next to him listened to the conversation, puzzled: "Why do we need to make a reservation in advance just to have a meal?"

It's just Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!

He had eaten it before. It was delicious and the recipe and ingredients were complicated, but surely it shouldn't be that he couldn't decide on it even so many days in advance!

Why go through all that trouble!

The handsome older man asked, "Young lady, is the Grandpa Li you mentioned Master Li from the courtyard house?"

“Yes!” Helian Jiao blinked and nodded in response.

Does the uncle also know Grandpa Li?

The handsome uncle smiled slightly and said gently, "That's normal. Chef Li used to be the head chef of the imperial kitchen. Now that he's old, he can only serve one table of guests a day. Since there are so many people eating here, you usually have to make a reservation at least a month in advance, and even then, you might not be able to get a table."

Judging from the tone of the girl's voice, she seemed to be quite familiar with Master Li.

It seems these two children are not from ordinary families.

The ignorant young man: ...

He swallowed hard again. The imperial chef who cooked for the emperor!

This craftsmanship is definitely extraordinary!

He'd want to eat here even if it took a year, let alone a month's advance reservation!

"Sweetie, go wash up." After putting away the Go set, Gu Tingyun took out a towel, toothbrush, and cup from her bag, stood up, and called out softly.

"good!"

The thought of having Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made Helian Jiao very happy. She cheerfully got out of bed, put on her shoes, took Gu Tingyun's hand, and skipped away.

The two quickly finished washing up and returned. The handsome uncle also took out a towel and toothbrush from his bag, stood up, and prepared to wash up.

There is a washroom at one end of each train carriage, with only two seats. If more people go, they have to stand and wait.

The young man only brought a toothbrush: "Uncle, I'll go with you!"

He felt he got along quite well with the older man.

Helian Jiao took off her shoes, grabbed the railing of the upper bunk, stepped onto the lower bunk, and nimbly climbed up to the upper bunk.

Since there were no outsiders in the sleeper compartment at the moment, Gu Tingyun didn't stop her.

After lying down, Helian Jiao said softly, "Gu Tingyun, I'm going to sleep."

"Go to sleep."

So she closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

Her rosy little lips were slightly pouting, and her cheeks were flushed, giving her a naturally charming and innocent look.
