Chapter 9

Tan Li originally thought that she would like French food.

After all, the portions were small and expensive. At first glance, Tan Li felt that she would not be full, which was very consistent with her image of a rich lady.

From the appetizer to the fish dish, Tan Li ate slowly. She would not say how it tasted, but she still thought it was good with the fragrance of money.

Until -

Tan Li frowned: "I don't like bloody meat, change me to one without blood."

The waiter was confused. The temperature of the meat dishes was carefully set by the chef. The beautiful red chef spent so much thought on it. Customers who come to such a restaurant would basically not ask to change the menu carefully matched by the chef, but now...

The waiter: "Miss, this is the use of low temperature..."

"I said-" Tan Li glanced at him, "Change me a portion."

"Miss, please wait a moment, I will change it for you right away!" The waiter trembled, and fled as if escaping from the plate in front of Tan Li and ran away.

Wu Xiu was also affected by Tan Li's sudden sense of oppression. Her hands trembled, and the metal knife and fork made a crisp sound on the plate.

This sound called back Tan Li's reason.

Love and peace, love and peace, love and peace...

Tan Li silently said this three times in her heart, and then she put away her anger, "It seems that I don't like French food as much as I thought."

Wu Xiu felt that the pressure on her heart just now disappeared, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "It's okay, Dali doesn't like it, we won't come to this restaurant next time!"

"By the way, our aunt stews Dongpo pork very well, next time I'll ask her to make a portion for you to try, okay?"

Tan Li: "Okay."

Just don't put blood on it.

In a moment, the little accident just now was over in Tan Li's heart.

But she has moved on, but someone else hasn't.

"Knock knock knock."

There was a slow knock on the door.

A man in a black chef's uniform and a black chef's hat walked in.

As a chef with aspirations, Shi Jiasen hates those who pretend to know how to cook to tell him what to do.

He was polite but a little arrogant, "Hello, guest, what do you think of our Wagyu beef?"

Tan Li: "It has blood on it."

Shi Jiasen's eyes twitched, "This is to keep the beef fresh and tender..."

Tan Li: "It has blood on it."

Shi Jiasen: "...If Wagyu is fully cooked, the taste will be completely different."

Tan Li: "It's okay, I don't mind."

Shi Jiasen took a few deep breaths, "Why don't you try it before commenting? If you don't even taste it, how do you know you don't like this dish?"

"I guarantee that customers will fall in love with the taste after just one bite."

Seeing that he was getting more and more excited, Tan Li leaned back, "Only on what basis?"

Shi Jiasen frowned, "This main dish took our team half a year to research. During this period, we tried dozens of different types of beef, cooking time, sauces, and aging methods. You think it's a simple steak, but it's the result of more than half a year of hard work by our entire team."

"What basis do you have to ignore other people's hard work?"

The waiter behind him stomped his feet in anxiety. The chef's old habit came back again!

Tan Li smiled softly, "What does that have to do with me?"

"Just because you've made an effort, do others have to accept it? Who do you think you are?"

Tan Li stood up and took a step closer to Shi Jiasen -

"You should be thankful that I have a good temper." Tan Li smiled and turned to Wu Xiu, "Mom, I don't want to eat this meal, let's go."

Wu Xiu felt that the thin air finally came back a little, "Ah, ah... OK."

Wu Xiu was about to get up when Shi Jiasen stopped in front of Tan Li, "Indeed, it's not that I've made an effort, so others have to accept it, but I won't accept you denying my cooking with such an inexplicable reason."

Tan Li:?

Man, when did she deny his cooking? She just simply asked to replace the bloody meat with bloodless meat.

In the environment where Tan Li used to live, most of these troublesome people died in the beginning, and the remaining few became corpses in the subsequent battles along with everyone else except her.

Oh, there is another possibility, the corpses were all gone.

After returning to real life, everyone Tan Li met was friendly on the surface because of her identity as a real daughter, no matter what they thought in their hearts. Suddenly, when she met such a noble and stubborn person, Tan Li was angry for a while, and then her mentality changed to the kindness of an old person looking at a young child.

Tan Li said earnestly, "Young man, don't be so irritable. There are so many weird people in the world. If you want to obey everyone, you will only piss yourself off first."

Shi Jiasen's face flushed all of a sudden, "Who are you calling a young man! Do you know how old I am? It's ok for the little girl to have no taste, but how can you not distinguish between the young and the old!" It's over

!

The waiter behind Shi Jiasen covered his face. The chef was no longer sober and started to say that she had no taste in front of the guests.

The waiter secretly glanced at Wu Xiu, gritted his teeth, and ran out.

And Wu Xiu, seeing that Tan Li did not lose the argument, did not think of persuading her. She always felt that Tan Li had a lot of things hidden in her heart, and it would be a good thing to vent them when she had the chance.

"Ah... you like to show off your age and qualifications..." Tan Li sighed, "You remind me of some people I don't want to think of again."

Tan Li was calm, "I won't bother with you, get out of the way."

Tan Li didn't know that her expression of "I'm magnanimous and I won't bother with you" was like the last straw that overwhelmed the remaining rationality in Shi Jiasen's mind.

Shi Jiasen: "Who is arguing with whom?! I don't want to entertain guests like you who don't understand the aesthetics of cooking at all, like those who follow the trend to come to Internet celebrity restaurants!"

Tan Li: "Well, if you don't want to entertain me, I won't come in the future. We both have a bright future."

Shi Jiasen choked.

He was not good at arguing with others, and felt that it was a disaster for him to meet such a tasteless customer today.

He stared at Tan Li closely, and was about to say something about his serious pursuit of cooking, but Tan Li suddenly looked towards the door of the private room.

Shi Jiasen:?

Before Shi Jiasen could react, there was a burst of hurried footsteps behind him——

"Aunt Xiu!" The visitor said in surprise, "How come you have time to come today?"

A man with a few strands of matte blue hair appeared at the door.

Huh?

"Xiao Xu? You came to the store today too?" Tan Li looked at the man who had just appeared in surprise, and heard Wu Xiu say this.

Ying Xu approached Wu Xiu with a smile and said kindly, "What a coincidence! I just happened to have an appointment with a friend to come here today. You know Aunt Xiu was going to come too, so I pushed my friend to have dinner with Aunt Xiu."

Wu Xiu seemed to like Ying Xu very much, "Hahaha, you young people should just have fun together. What's the point of having dinner with us old people?"

Ying Xu: "Aunt Xiu, what are you talking about? You are so young.

People who don't know you will say you are my sister when you go out." Wu Xiu: "You are such a sweet-talker."

"Aunt Xiu, look at what you said. I am speaking from the heart." He glanced at Tan Li calmly, and his eyes stayed for a second.

Tan Li:?

What's wrong with young people these days? They are so hostile when they meet for the first time?

Ying Xu looked at the cold main dish on the table and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Is the dish not to Aunt Xiu's taste?"

Wu Xiu paused, "Well, I don't like it very much."

After saying this, Shi Jiasen became even angrier. He didn't care about his boss and said, "Mrs. Tan, excuse me for being frank, but this main dish is exactly the same as the set meal you often ordered before. It just adds some seasonal flavors to the sauce."

Tan Li: "I'm the one who doesn't like your dish. You don't have to be weird to my mother."

After returning, Wu Xiu was the best person to her. She was a protective person and couldn't bear to see people who were good to her get wronged.

Tan Li's tone was a little colder than before, "Your dishes are full of your self-satisfied arrogance. What? Is it the world's fault if they don't understand you? If you don't know how to appreciate, you have no taste?"

"You are so high and mighty, who do you think you are?"

"Let me put it bluntly, two words, unpalatable."

Shi Jiasen was stunned.

For the first time in his life, the youngest gold medal winner in the history of the French BGS World Cooking Competition was told that his dishes were unpalatable.

Shi Jiasen: "You, how do you know it's not tasty if you haven't eaten it!"

Tan Li sneered, "Does cooking only depend on eating? Color, fragrance and taste, you can't even do the first two, how dare you?"

A bubbling lava hell suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. The person who could turn decay into magic under the most scarce material conditions and bring them food enjoyment was lost in such a magma.

He didn't even have time to scream. He turned his head and saw his hands reaching for life to the sky. Then, they were slowly swallowed up...

Tan Li suddenly felt angry. If that person could survive, he would definitely do better and be more successful than the person in front of him. He would open a bigger store and become a world-famous chef! "Da

Li

." A pair of warm hands held Tan Li's shoulders.

Tan Li turned her head in a daze and saw Wu Xiu looking at her tenderly. "It doesn't matter if you don't like this restaurant. Mom will take us to Da Li to eat a lot of delicious food in the future, okay?"

Tan Li: "...Okay."

But there is no if...

Ying Xu narrowed his eyes and sneered silently.

But in a moment, her face was full of smiles again, "This time, Aunt Xiu and this... had a bad experience. I'll treat

you for this meal and I'll apologize to Aunt Xiu next time." "No need for that." Wu Xiu, who has always been very approachable, revealed her reserved side as a lady, "Xiao Xu, you still have to pay more attention to the quality of service in your restaurant."

Ying Xu smiled apologetically, "Yes, yes, you know, Asen has always been pursuing high goals in his career, and he suddenly went astray. Please forgive him."

Wu Xiu did not comment on his excuses.

Wu Xiu: "Okay, Dali and I will leave first today. Come to Aunt's house for dinner when you are free."

Ying Xu laughed, "Of course! Even if Aunt doesn't invite me, I will come by myself."

"By the way." Ying Xu suddenly asked cautiously, "Aunt Xiu, I bought Manman her favorite macarons. I wanted to deliver them to her house in person, but she..."

Ying Xu said pitifully, "Aunt Xiu, can you help me bring them to her?"

Seeing him being so humble, Wu Xiu sighed secretly, "Okay, bring it here." Ying

Xu was happy like a fool, "Aunt Xiu, wait a minute! Right away! I'll bring it to you right away!" As

soon as he left, Tan Li felt a shadow covering the front.

Tan Li slowly raised her head and met Shi Jiasen's fixed eyes.
