"By the way, who invited me on Weibo?" Mr. Tao's attitude was much lower. He felt that the people in the Lakeside University cafeteria, except for that little girl, had been very rude to him. He didn't know which one of them had provoked him to come on Weibo; it looked like it to him. Of course, if it weren't for those replies, he wouldn't have come at all.
"It's me." Xiao Li shrugged and said.
It was him! Otherwise, why would he keep throwing things around? Even putting a bowl down would make a banging noise. But it was normal for him to be angry. Mr. Tao felt that his bad mouth was indeed a habit of his. He had never tasted the food himself, so he casually commented on the food in other people's cafeterias. Now that he had tasted it, he was the one who was embarrassed.
"I want to apologize for my comments on Weibo and what I just did. In fact, I could also insist that your food is not delicious, but I still have principles. You can use such ordinary ingredients and achieve a result that is not inferior to top-grade ingredients. It's amazing!" Mr. Tao gave a thumbs up and glanced at his friend who had just finished his lunch box.
My friend burped. "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is pretty good. The chicken and duck must be local, so the broth is very authentic. Most importantly, the cooking temperature is perfect. Dozens of ingredients blend together, each retaining its own flavor when separated, yet together they form a perfect whole. Perfect."
"By the way, Bobo Chicken is really good. It would be even better if the chili was Sichuan style.
"Oh, I ate too much today. Oh! Lao Zhou, I don't know whether to blame you or thank you. Thank you because I ate delicious food, but blame you because you made me eat spicy food. I'm going to have diarrhea again today!" he said again.
Mr. Tao, also known as Jiang Tao, said, "I don't want to bother with you. Even if you have diarrhea, just consider it a way to clear your stomach!"
Mr. Tao's friend is named Luo Zhongxi, and as his name suggests, he looks very cheerful. However, his identity is not ordinary. He is actually a national top-grade Sichuan chef, and he cannot eat spicy food. He will have diarrhea if he eats spicy food.
Chef Luo looked at the people in the third canteen. The calmest one was the girl. She said she made the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and Chef Luo believed her. He felt that the others couldn't make it to this level.
Ye Tian found this food critic quite interesting. At first, he was arrogant and looked down on others, but now his attitude has become more friendly, like a completely different person. Moreover, the two people who came were praising them. What's going on?
"You are a good girl. Do you want to be my disciple?" Chef Luo looked at Ye Tian, who was confused, and suddenly said this.
"Who are you? She is my master, how could she possibly want you to be her disciple?" Xiao Li became alert.
Ye Tian looked at Chef Luo's hands. His fingers were short and thick, but his hands were very strong and sturdy. There were calluses on the base of both hands, which showed that he used to flip the wok with a kitchen knife. She realized that this smiling uncle might be a good chef.
Ye Tian didn't know who he was, and didn't want to become his disciple casually, so she said directly: "Thank you for your kindness, but I already have a master, so I don't dare to pursue someone higher than you."
"Little girl, this is what you don't know. Chef Luo is a national-level top-grade Sichuan cuisine chef and the head chef of the Jinghua Hotel in the capital. So many people are begging to be his disciples, and yet you still don't want to." Mr. Tao couldn't help but say.
Seeing the bald food blogger's condescending tone, Ye Tian felt even more unreliable about Chef Luo. People are divided into groups, and they probably all think they are superior and look down on others. Even if he is a top chef, Ye Tian is interested in Sichuan cuisine, but she would rather study it on her own than accept him as her teacher.
Master Sun saw everything. He had been silent at first, but now he felt it was time for him to speak.
"Gentlemen, since you've tasted our food, I hope you can publicly clarify this on Weibo after you return. We can't tolerate words like sensationalism. As for Xiao Ye, he's just a part-time worker and a current university student. He won't be seeking any apprenticeship. There are more and more people watching outside, and many want to buy our food. If you've finished eating, please move aside. Thank you!"
After Master Sun finished speaking, Mr. Tao felt a little embarrassed. He had just expressed his apology, but they, a small canteen, were still not letting him go.
Chef Luo said, "Oh, the girl is still studying. It's really not the right time for her to learn cooking. Come to the capital to find me when you graduate! I'll have Lao Zhou post a Weibo post to clarify things when I get back. Bye, thank you for the delicious food!"
"Okay, Lao Zhou, let's go back first. Don't block the place here. We can talk about it when we get back." He pulled Mr. Tao out, and his assistant and cameraman followed.
"Little girl, let's meet again if we have the chance!" Chef Luo turned around and shouted to Ye Tian.
On their way back, Chef Luo couldn't help but say to Mr. Tao, "You can't change your bad mouth and arrogant habits. Go back and post an apology on Weibo. The food is really good."
"Gurgle..." Chef Luo's stomach made a sound. "It's all your fault! I'm having diarrhea again! Look at you, you're so arrogant all the time! Since I came with you, that little girl named Ye has lost her interest in me. I finally found a good talent, and you've influenced me."
Mr. Tao replied, "I have always been like this. If you hadn't insisted on following me, you wouldn't have been able to see her!"
"That's right! And look at your new assistant, he's just like you, he has a sullen face even when I pay the bill for me, and it's not his money!" Chef Luo was still not satisfied.
The young assistant, sitting in the back row, didn't dare to speak. He'd only been on the job for a few days, and he'd already offended his boss's friend. He'd thought it was just some random friend who'd gotten a free meal, but he'd never expected it to be a longtime friend of a famous chef. Ugh! He was so tactless.
…
After watching the show, the tourists were a little confused. They continued to buy food, and after eating, they went to other places to shop.
Food bloggers all said it was delicious, so the line grew longer. Soon, the food in the third canteen was almost sold out, and they started packing up and preparing to go home.
The bowl of multi-grain fish meal Ye Tian bought had already clumped together. But she didn't waste it. She added some hot water and ate it. Unfortunately, she couldn't tell whether it was delicious or not.
After three busy days, the reputation of the Hubin University cafeteria had spread throughout the city. Unfortunately, the cafeteria was not open to the public, so they could not eat there.
As expected, Mr. Tao posted an apology on Weibo the next day, admitting his arrogance and praising the improved Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish served at the Hubin University cafeteria. He also stated that he would work down-to-earth, go deep into the grassroots, and take root in the people to find more down-to-earth delicacies for everyone.
He also posted an edited video, deleting all the discordant parts, simply showing the beauty and deliciousness of the food. In addition to Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, there are also many shots of Qingtuan and Bobo Chicken, as well as shots of Chef Luo eating heartily. At first glance, people feel that the food he eats is delicious.
It has to be said that Mr. Tao is very good at promotion to become an Internet celebrity. This video is a very positive publicity for Mr. Tao and San Canteen.
