Inside Hertz Castle, Anning and Leiting are guests. Everything here is strange and wonderful. Liao Qian's feng shui arrangement to boost Allen's luck is an eye-opener for Anning. She never expected that Chinese feng shui could help the people of Niujin.
Lei Ting and Liao Qian bantered as usual, and they were both used to it. Hans was busy on the side, and after receiving guidance from An Ning, Hans's new tea ceremony became very popular.
Allen: "The teppanyaki tastes really good today, Hans. Your cooking skills have improved again..."
Hans: "Haha, this is all thanks to my apprentice, Newt. Newt, please greet everyone."
News: Hello everyone
The tall, slender, dark-skinned man behind Hans turned out to be his apprentice, and the delicious dishes presented to everyone today were all his creations. News greeted everyone politely and walked towards Anning, carrying a bowl of snow frog and winter melon soup.
Thunder watched him warily, noticing that since Anning and Thunder had entered the living room, News's eyes had never left Anning.
News politely bowed to Anning and offered her the winter melon soup.
News: "Miss Anning, please have some snow frog and winter melon soup. I made it especially for you."
Anning: "Thank you..."
Thunder took the bowl of winter melon soup from News and fed it to Anning.
Lei Ting: "Snow frog promotes saliva production, and winter melon moistens the lungs. This kid is thoughtful. However, you drank Chinese medicine and ate durian. Eating these things together will cause you to feel feverish at night. Drink less."
An Ning: "Hehe, it's not actually that good. I'll just leave it there and eat a mushroom instead!"
Lei Ting: "It will definitely taste bad, but if you want to balance the heat and dampness, you can add some pomegranate juice to the water in the steamer. Pomegranate can enter the blood, which can balance the heat caused by the food."
Anning: "Hehe, you're teaching this method to Hans and the others!"
Thunder: "They don't believe me, M. Get me some pomegranates, juice them, and make sure it's warm, thank you..."
M: "Okay, Mr. Lei..."
While working, News kept glancing this way. Thunder glared at him a few times, and Liao Qian noticed as well. Seeing News's attention, Allen also looked at News. When News realized that three big men were looking at him, he suddenly lowered his head and focused on his work.
Liao Qian and Allen came to Lei Ting and An Ning's side. Liao Qian knew that Lei Ting must be being petty again.
Liao Qian: "Young Master Lei is so thoughtful! He even dug out the pharmacology he used to hate memorizing from his mind."
Thunder: "You've come at the right time! Why has Hans's apprentice been staring at my Anning? Is he some kind of scoundrel?"
Allen: "No, Hans' team is full of excellent people. This News has received the honor of three Michelin stars. I have invited him to many parties. He is a person of good character."
An Ning: "Lei Ting, you're being too cautious..."
Thunder: "A man's unique intuition, Anning, you should be careful of any man other than me, including Liao Qian and Allen."
Liao Qian/Alan: "What kind of talk is that..."
An Ning: "Haha, Thunder is too cautious...haha..."
M: "Mr. Lei, your pomegranate juice..."
Lei Ting: "An Ning, quickly drink some pomegranate juice, it will help you sleep better tonight."
An Ning: "Hmm..."
Lei Ting's caution was beyond what ordinary people could imagine, but An Ning didn't take it to heart. Liao Qian and Allen were her good friends, and An Ning hadn't encountered anyone with ill intentions here, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
News brought over another dish of Dongpo pork. How could a Michelin-starred chef be so good at Chinese food! Thunder was even more convinced of his judgment that News was definitely up to no good. As soon as News arrived, Thunder got up from his chair and glared at him angrily.
Thunder: "What have you been doing coming here all this time..."
News: "I..."
Lei Ting: "Your eyes are darting around. Who dares to look us in the eye here? Are you here to be a cook? You're probably up to no good!"
Thunder's ferocity erupted, and Liao Qian and Allen rushed over. Hans also put down his tools and tried to block Newt's way, but Newt's eyes were still looking back. Anning tugged at Thunder, not wanting him to do that.
An Ning: "Lei Ting, what are you doing..."
Thunder: "Explain yourself clearly. What is our purpose? Speak..."
Hans: "Mr. Ray, did our poor cooking skills upset you?"
Liao Qian: "Hans, why isn't your apprentice focusing on cooking? It seems like his attention is on An Ning."
Hans: "News, what exactly did you do? Tell me!"
With so many people watching him and Thunder's aggressive demeanor, News took a few steps back before stammering out his purpose in paying attention to Anning.
News: "I... three years ago... received a critique from Miss Anning. I came to repay a debt of gratitude, but unfortunately, Miss Anning has already forgotten me..."
An Ning: "? Who? I don't remember..."
News: "Three years ago, I was a vegetable washer at Jess Star Restaurant. You were invited by the head chef to come to the kitchen to teach pastry chefs. I accidentally spilled some water on you while I was washing vegetables. You didn't blame me at all, but comforted me and told me to take it one step at a time... I'm still grateful to this day. I know you've become the King of Bread, and today you've come to Mr. Allen's restaurant for dinner. I know you've been in China for two years, so I specially made a Chinese meal for you. I hope you like it."
Liao Qian: "So that's how it is. Lei Ting, I told you you were overly cautious..."
Thunder: "It was just one sentence, and you've remembered it until now. You must have some other purpose."
Allen: "Thunder, don't make a mountain out of a molehill. Peace is a belief for many people, which is not surprising."
Hans: "Mr. Ray, we caused a misunderstanding. I've brought him to apologize to you."
