As a chef, I am quite familiar with some important figures in the culinary world.
He never expected that the person he usually saw on television would actually appear in front of him.
I didn't even realize it.
When someone you often see on TV comes to life in front of you, you might feel a sense of disbelief.
The chef immediately hurried to the kitchen and reported the matter to Lu Rong.
Not long after.
A corner of the kitchen.
"What? Old Li and Old Wu are coming to see me?" At this moment, Lu Rong was taking the roasted duck out of the oven.
All the roast ducks were successfully lifted out and hung on hooks.
Lu Rong breathed a sigh of relief and picked up a towel to wipe the oil off his hands.
"Alright, I understand. I'll be right there. You can go ahead and do your thing." Lu Rong waved his hand.
Lu Rong was surprised that Wu Zhengchuan and Li Shangui would come looking for him.
Thinking back to how I rejected them last time, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, especially since it happened in front of so many people.
Although I wasn't interested in becoming their apprentice, I was indeed a bit too decisive in refusing them back then.
Now that they've come looking for me again, could it be that they still want to take me as their disciple, just like before?
However, he wouldn't become an apprentice, since he's too busy every day to be in the mood for such things.
Moreover, with the support of the system, I don't need to worry about not being able to learn better recipes.
Of course, since both big shots had come to visit him, he couldn't refuse them a visit; he had to receive them.
I've just finished making all the Kyoto roast duck I made, so I don't have anything else to do for the time being.
Thinking of this, Lu Rong quickly walked towards the door.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw two big shots smiling at him from outside.
As before, Li Shangui was still wearing a white training uniform, looking like an old man practicing Tai Chi in a park.
Judging by his appearance alone, you would never guess that he is such a famous figure in the culinary world.
The clothes were dressed too modestly.
If you don't see them often, you probably wouldn't recognize them if you bumped into them on a regular day.
Wu Zhengchuan fared somewhat better, perhaps because he was younger.
The two are about ten years apart in age; Wu Zhengchuan is in his early 60s and Li Shangui is in his 70s.
Wu Zhengchuan was dressed casually in a gray polo shirt and black sweatpants.
She still looks quite fashionable for someone in their 60s.
Upon seeing Lu Rong's arrival, their eyes immediately lit up.
Wu Zhengchuan chuckled and said, "Haha, it's been a long time, classmate Lu Rong."
"I happened to be at Kyoto University today doing some business, and I thought I'd stop by to see you. I hope I'm not bothering you?" Wu Zhengchuan said a little embarrassed.
After all, Lu Rong wasn't very familiar with them, and it would be quite impolite for him to come and visit without prior appointment.
Of course, Lu Rong didn't care about such a trivial matter.
The fact that a big shot came to see him was a form of recognition, and he was very happy about it.
"Good morning, Mr. Li and Mr. Wu. What brings you here?" Lu Rong greeted with a smile, clearly displaying a warm and cheerful personality.
Even though the Kyoto Food Festival hadn't been over for long, Wu Zhengchuan and Li Shangui felt that Lu Rong had changed quite a bit.
Of course, this doesn't refer to changes in appearance, but rather to the overall feeling or aura one gets.
Moreover, in such a short period of time, it not only took over the cafeteria but also carried forward and improved it.
What an amazing innovation!
Even some business tycoons might not be able to do that.
"Haha, Lu Rong, it's been a long time. Do you still remember us two old folks?" Li Shangui teased.
Li Shangui can be quite pleasant to talk to at times.
Lu Rong scratched his head and laughed, "Old Li, you're joking. How could I not remember? I still remember that it was you who helped me take a good hit at Xie Wei, who was making false claims, at the food festival."
Li Shangui smiled even more broadly when this was mentioned.
This shows that Lu Rong still remembers them.
No one expected that this old man, who was fierce to most people, would now act like a kind and gentle old grandfather in front of Lu Rong.
They were chatting and laughing.
Now that they were in the cafeteria, Lu Rong, as the host, naturally had to do his best to be a good host.
Moreover, both of them are big names in the culinary world, so eating is definitely an important part of their lives.
When the two appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria kitchen, Lu Rong immediately guessed that they wanted to eat.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Wu, would you like to try my Peking duck? It's fresh out of the oven and still piping hot."
