When the three returned to the dormitory, Jin Yu had already tidied up the room.
Only their personal belongings remained unpacked.
The group quickly tidied up, just in time for Li Kai and Liu Tian to check the dorms at seven o'clock.
After inspecting it, Li Kai nodded.
"Perform at this level tomorrow!"
This means we've passed the test, and the group cheered.
Liu Tian also quietly asked Liu Yihang, "Does your shop sell barbecue at night? What time do you close? I'll go try it after I finish checking the dorms!"
Liu Yihang quickly replied, "My parents live in the shop, so there's always someone there when I go. I also have to go out and help out later, so I'll give you a 20% discount!"
Li Kai had already walked out the door when he turned back and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Oh, I was saying I wanted to try Liu Yihang's restaurant tonight! Are you coming?"
"Ahem, let's talk after we've checked the dorms!" Li Kai said seriously.
The four roommates noticed something was off about the two of them; they seemed very close, yet also not very familiar with each other.
With the internal affairs approved, Liu Yihang plans to go back to the shop to help out again. The barbecue sold well that night, and business is expected to stay busy for a while.
Xiao Chunfeng and He Tao quickly followed.
Jin Yu was getting ready to sleep. Because of the lesson he learned this morning, he vowed that he must get up on time for morning exercises tomorrow and from now on.
He had already bought three alarm clocks in the afternoon and put them on his bedside table, so he was going to go to bed early.
When the three arrived at the store, Wang Donghai and his nephew Wang Jianbin were still there.
I chatted with Chen Yiping over fragrant grilled skewers and beer.
Liu Yihang returned.
Chen Yiping said like a playful old man, "Yihang, they say your fried rice is amazing, but I haven't tried it yet!"
Like a child who can't get candy.
Liu Yihang smiled helplessly: "Shall I make it for you now?"
"No need today, I ate too much today, I'm old and can't digest it, I'll come again tomorrow night!"
"Okay!"
Wang Jianbin then raised his own question at the opportune moment: "Young man, I heard from the proprietress that all the dishes in this restaurant are your own creations?"
"Yes! What's wrong?"
"Can I have a little competition with you? How about making fried rice?" Wang Jianbin had tasted Liu Yihang's fried rice today and was itching to try it himself.
"Sure, no problem, now?" Liu Yihang could tell from the sound of this person that he was probably an expert as well.
Anyway, these recipes were indeed given to him by the system, so in a way, he learned them himself. He was a pretty good cook in his previous life, so he wasn't afraid of anything.
“Then let’s go!” Wang Jianbin was a straightforward person.
Follow him directly to the kitchen.
Liu Xiangdong was grilling barbecue outside, while Liu Yihang and Wang Jianbin, along with Wang Donghai and Chen Yiping, were in the kitchen just watching the fun.
Liu Yihang simply told him where to place the ingredients and seasonings, and the two started making fried rice.
The two men, each holding a rag, gripped the handle of an iron wok, lit a roaring fire, and began frying rice, their movements and postures vaguely similar.
Wang Jianbin also spared some attention to observe Liu Yihang. He initially thought Liu was just a young upstart with some talent, but he was surprised to find that the boy had a real presence and was like a seasoned chef, not at all inferior.
So he stopped being distracted and focused intently on frying the rice.
Both of them fried rice at their own pace.
Soon, the kitchen was filled with the unique aroma of fried rice.
As Wang Jianbin smelled the refreshing fragrance, he knew he might lose, but he felt a sense of exhilaration.
The younger generation surpasses the older generation, and he is not one to give up easily.
He took the fried rice out of his pan, tasted Liu Yihang's fried rice, and said bluntly, "I lost, you're better!"
Wang Jianbin never imagined that one day he would be competing with a young man in such a small kitchen, and that he would even lose. However, it was quite interesting and the competition was very enjoyable.
Liu Yihang took a bite of Wang Jianbin's fried rice and found himself quite impressed with the big man.
After all, he relied on the perfect recipe provided by the system, which was equivalent to copying homework one-on-one.
But their skills and abilities are genuine.
He appears to be a rough middle-aged man, but he is actually very meticulous and has excellent craftsmanship.
It wasn't until Wang Jianbin introduced himself that things changed.
Only then did Liu Yihang belatedly realize that it looked somewhat familiar.
He remembered, wasn't Wang Jianbin his grandmaster from his previous life?
In his previous life, he started by trying things on his own, using unorthodox methods. Later, because of his diligence and hard work, he was noticed by a proper chef and learned cooking skills from him for several years.
His master in his previous life was also from a prestigious lineage, being a disciple of Wang Jianbin, a national first-class chef.
He had never met Wang Jianbin in his previous life; he had only seen him once on television and had heard his master mention him.
I never expected to meet the real person in this lifetime.
But it seems I've committed some kind of treason and disrespect, not only accepting my master's challenge but also defeating him outright.
Fortunately, that was all in my past life.
Chen Yiping and Wang Donghai also tried the two's fried rice.
Wang Donghai did not shy away from or help his second uncle.
He jokingly said, "Second Uncle, you're getting old! The new generation surpasses the old, and the old generation dies on the beach."
After tasting it carefully, Chen Yiping discovered that Liu Yihang's fried rice was indeed slightly different from the one he had just eaten.
If Liu Xiangdong and Wang Jianbin's fried rice were about the same, Liu Yihang's fried rice was indeed several levels above theirs, a level that could only be appreciated intuitively.
As he tasted it, he finished half of the fried rice Liu Yihang had made, patting his belly as he ate and saying, "You better be strong! It would be a sin not to eat something so delicious."
This made all three of them laugh.
As the saying goes, "no fight, no friendship," and Wang Jianbin and Liu Yihang, having developed a mutual appreciation for each other, started chatting about cooking.
Only then did Wang Jianbin realize that Liu Yihang was indeed an untrained student, with no family tradition or teacher.
Liu Yihang naturally couldn't mention his past life, only saying that he had only studied the recipes himself and that he only knew how to make those dishes; he wasn't very good at making other dishes.
Wang Jianbin couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "What a promising chef!" His master had once said that hard work could never surpass talent, but he hadn't believed it then. Now, after seeing Liu Yihang, he truly believed it.
Unfortunately, he wasn't only talented in cooking; he was also quite gifted in his studies. He knew which was more important, studying hard or being a chef, otherwise he really would have wanted to take him on as an apprentice.
Although a good cook can earn money to support his family and gain both fame and fortune.
However, as a student of Tianzhou University, a chosen one, his life was full of possibilities, not limited to being a chef.
So Wang Jianbin suppressed his admiration for talent.
