"Ahem, yes, I've learned it too. It's not that simple! In a couple of days, Grandpa will teach you how to do fruit carving, so you can outshine the Cui family's so-called 'special skills'!"
Old Liu pointed to the plate of sashimi with his hand behind his back:
"Since you're here at the shop these few days, I think we should add a dish of Peony Silver Ribbonfish Sashimi to the premium set menu. You can practice more, because the kitchen will eventually be in your hands!"
Xu Milu couldn't help but chuckle at the old man's forced composure, but she still showered him with compliments:
“That’s right, I knew Grandpa was the best chef. They say the greatest masters live in seclusion, right? Your skills are so good you’d be a master chef for state banquets in Beijing! How about this, starting tomorrow I’ll come over every day and learn an extra hour of cooking from you, okay?”
Old Liu nodded subconsciously, but by the time he realized what he had agreed to, it was too late. He was immediately on the verge of tears.

"Boss! This dish looks so beautiful! I almost don't want to eat it! No, no, I have to take a picture first!"
Xiao Tao couldn't help but scream, while Da Liu and Xiao Mo peeked out from the side.
The three of them each took a bite, and the expressions on their faces were priceless.
"The boss's cooking is amazing!"
"This is amazing! They're sliced as thin as paper, so crispy! I never knew fish could be eaten like this!"
"Waaaah, isn't this even better than the sashimi at Japanese restaurants? Boss, you're amazing!"
Xu Milu wiped her hands, smiled, and made the final decision:
"Then I hereby officially announce that Rice Food Shop has a new dish, Peony Silver Belt Fish Sashimi, which will be served as a set meal tomorrow."
