What I thought would take a whole day to resolve was actually done in just over an hour.
After the meeting, Wu Zhengchuan and Li Shangui hit it off immediately and secretly went to check out the cafeteria at Kyoto University.
They came here for two purposes.
One reason is that Lu Rong's cafeteria has recently become very popular online, with many saying that the food they serve is comparable to or even surpasses that of top-tier hotels.
This is a very high compliment for the school cafeteria.
Furthermore, with the recent popularity of food programs, many people are curious about Kyoto University's cafeteria and eager to try the exquisite food there.
This includes the two of them.
Another objective was to invite Lu Rong to participate in this national culinary competition.
Although Lu Rong did not agree to become their apprentice, it did not affect their recommendation of Lu Rong to participate in the competition.
Having been in the culinary world for so many years, I've seen all sorts of geniuses.
They had never met anyone like Lu Rong before, which made them feel a deep sense of kinship.
It was almost 11 o'clock, and the cafeteria was preparing lunch.
The two did not have school leaders accompany them. After arriving at the cafeteria entrance in their car, they quietly went inside.
They wanted to see just how perfectly Lu Rong had managed the cafeteria.
As soon as I entered the cafeteria, I saw that the entire cafeteria was clean and tidy.
It gives people a sense of sudden enlightenment.
"Dining in such an environment would definitely put you in a good mood," Li Shangui said, glancing around.
At this moment, Li Shangui was like a naive old man who had never seen the world, carefully observing every corner of the canteen.
"Wow, this Lu Rong is amazing. At such a young age, he not only took over the cafeteria, but also kept it so clean and tidy."
Li Shangui stroked his beard, expressing his satisfaction with the scene.
Wu Zhengchuan was also very happy: "Who would have thought that such a big canteen was actually run by a student? It really shows that the younger generation is surpassing the older generation."
"Looks like we old-timers are about to be swept away on the beach," Li Shangui couldn't help but joke.
Although he's quite old, he's still a playful old man and quite knowledgeable about some of the new online slang.
For example, some memes.
He's also someone who's quick to utter "fuck" or "damn" at the drop of a hat.
It would be fine for an ordinary person, but for someone his age, saying those two words was quite comical.
It's only 11 o'clock now, and there are only seven or eight students in the cafeteria. I guess they haven't had breakfast yet, so they came early because they were hungry.
However, since they haven't officially opened yet, they can only sit at the table and wait.
As they walked, the two suddenly smelled an exquisite fragrance that instantly invigorated them.
"Old Li, can you smell it? It's that Kyoto roast duck, isn't it?" Wu Zhengchuan's nose was very sensitive, and he quickly smelled the aroma of Kyoto roast duck coming from the cafeteria's kitchen.
Li Shangui: "There's no mistake, this smells so good, I can't help but want to try it myself."
The two exchanged a glance, immediately understanding, and then quietly followed the smell towards the door leading to the cafeteria's kitchen.
However, their actions were too obvious, and given their age, they were clearly not cafeteria staff, and were immediately stopped by a sharp-eyed chef.
"Excuse me, gentlemen, this is the cafeteria's kitchen. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed in."
In other places, the reason why other people are not allowed to enter the kitchen is largely because people are afraid that their hygiene conditions will not meet the standards and that others will find out.
Of course, such a problem would never occur in Lu Rong's cafeteria.
The main reason is that everyone in the kitchen is busy right now, and if outsiders come in, it will seriously affect their work.
However, Li Shangui wasn't buying it. He straightened his back, stroked his beard, and said helplessly:
“We know, I just saw the sign here that says ‘No Trespassing,’ but we’re very busy, we’re not idle, we’re not idle people.”
Upon hearing Li Shangui's reply, Wu Zhengchuan felt like he was about to vomit blood, but he couldn't say anything.
Even the chef who had just stopped them was at a loss for words.
I've seen unreasonable people before, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone this unreasonable.
Moreover, the other party is an elderly person; what if they get upset later and lie down on the ground?
This is a big problem.
However, considering that their presence might disrupt the normal operations of the kitchen, the chef still tried his best to persuade them:
"Old man... the idle person we're talking about isn't this kind of idle person."
"What kind of idle person is he?" Li Shangui asked again, giving the person in front of him no time to react.
"We two old men just smelled the food here and it smelled so good that we wanted to come in and take a look. Is that alright?"
This series of questions left the chef completely bewildered, with no idea how to respond.
"This...this..."
Seeing the chef's hesitation, Li Shangui decided not to make things difficult for him.
"Oh, we were just joking. Actually, we just wanted to try your roast duck and meet your boss."
"Just tell your boss that Wu Zhengchuan and Li Shangui want to see you."
"OK."
Upon hearing Li Shangui's words, the chef in front of him instantly understood the identities of the two men.
