Lu Mu's eyes were filled with awe for food and a thirst for skill. His hands moved like dancers on a stage, turning ordinary ingredients into delicious dishes that were both visually appealing and fragrant.
"Lu Mu, look at this fish fillet. It needs to be sliced as thin as a cicada's wing to keep the fish tender." Xu Yuehuai demonstrated while patiently instructing.
Lu Mu observed intently, then tried to do it himself. At first, his fish slices were uneven in thickness, but after countless attempts and corrections, he finally mastered the technique and sliced fish slices to his satisfaction.
“Very good, now you can try making a dish with this fish fillet.” Xu Yuehua nodded in satisfaction, her eyes shining with approval for Lu Mu.
Lu Mu confidently accepted the fish fillets and began to devise his innovative dishes. He had a flash of inspiration and decided to combine the fish fillets with lime and herbs to create a refreshing lime and herb fish fillet dish.
He carefully prepared the fish fillets, marinating them with lime juice and herbs, then gently pan-frying them before finally drizzling them with a special sauce.
Xu Yuehuai took a bite and a look of surprise appeared on her face: "This taste... is unexpectedly good! Lu Mu, you really have talent."
A smug smile appeared on Lu Mu's face, but he was not complacent. He knew that the path of culinary skills was endless, and only through continuous learning and innovation could one go further.
As time went by, Lu Mu's culinary skills improved day by day. This was not a miracle achieved overnight, but rather the mark etched on his hands by the years, each scratch representing his dedication and love for the art of cooking.
From a novice just starting out to a culinary master who can now stand on his own, Lu Mu's path to success has been full of challenges and opportunities.
Xu Yuehuai witnessed Lu Mu's transformation from a boy who knew nothing about cooking into a highly skilled chef.
Whenever Xu Yuehuai saw Lu Mu busy in the kitchen, her heart was filled with joy. She knew she hadn't misjudged him; Lu Mu was the true successor, capable of carrying on this love for food and his skills.
Tianxianglou is a famous old-established restaurant in Beijing, known for its traditional cuisine. However, after Lu Mu joined the company, Tianxianglou's dishes began to become increasingly unique.
Lu Mu is not only skilled in preparing various traditional delicacies, but he can also create many novel and unique dishes based on his own creativity. These new dishes have been warmly welcomed by guests since their introduction.
"Lu Mu, your 'Beautiful Landscape' dish is absolutely amazing!" A guest exclaimed, praising Lu Mu's new dish. "The color and the taste are simply a work of art!"
Lu Mu smiled modestly and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I'm just trying to combine traditional cooking methods with modern tastes, hoping to bring everyone something new."
Watching from the side, Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but sigh: Lu Mu not only inherited her culinary skills, but also showed amazing talent in innovation. Such a young man is truly a rare find.
Tianxianglou's business is booming, and Lu Mu's reputation is gradually spreading throughout the capital. More and more people are coming to taste his dishes, and each time they taste them, they can feel his love for food and his unique craftsmanship.
However, behind the glitz and glamour, Lu Mu has not forgotten his original aspirations. He knows that his achievements today are inseparable from Xu Yuehuai's careful guidance and the support of the Tianxianglou platform.
Therefore, he worked even harder to hone his culinary skills, hoping to create more classic dishes for Tianxianglou and let more people taste the charm of delicious food.
Every night, as the lights of Tianxianglou come on, Lu Mu begins his creative journey. He stands in front of the kitchen stove, spatula in hand, his eyes focused and determined.
His fingers moved nimbly among the ingredients, each cut and stir full of rhythm.
In his hands, ordinary ingredients seem to be given life, becoming delicious and palatable.
Xu Yuehuai often stood aside, quietly observing Lu Mu's cooking process. Watching Lu Mu's focused expression and skillful movements, she couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.
Lu Mu's reputation grew, and soon it spread throughout the Great Zhou Kingdom and even to other countries.
However, Lu Mu did not become arrogant or complacent because of this. He knew that cooking was an art that had no end and required continuous learning and exploration.
Therefore, he maintained a humble and eager-to-learn attitude, constantly seeking advice from Xu Yuehuai, learning from his peers, and collecting feedback from diners.
He believes that only through continuous progress and innovation can he go further on the path of culinary arts.
As Xu Yuehuai watched Lu Mu grow and improve, she believed that under Lu Mu's leadership, Tianxianglou's future would be even more glorious and splendid.
On this day, Xu Yuehuai wore a light blue dress, the hem of which gently brushed against the smooth floor. Her steps were steady yet light, as if each step contained endless wisdom and strength.
Her brows exuded composure and calmness, and her deep eyes sparkled with anticipation for the future. She walked through the bustling restaurant lobby and headed straight for the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the stoves were blazing, the sounds of spatulas and woks filled the air, and various aromas mingled together, creating a busy yet vibrant scene.
Lu Mu, a slender and handsome young man, was busy at the stove. His technique was skillful, and every movement was smooth and powerful.
Xu Yuehuai stood at the door, quietly watching Lu Mu. Her gaze was full of appreciation and affirmation. During this time, under her careful guidance, Lu Mu had grown from a complete novice in cooking to a chef capable of handling his own tasks.
His rapid progress surprised even Xu Yuehuai.
Lu Mu felt Xu Yuehuai's gaze, turned his head, and saw Xu Yuehuai standing at the door. A hint of tension and unease appeared on his face.
He was afraid he had done something wrong, afraid that Xu Yuehuai would be disappointed in him. He stopped what he was doing, walked up to Xu Yuehuai, lowered his head, and asked respectfully, "Master, what are your orders?"
Xu Yuehuai looked at Lu Mu, smiled slightly, and said, "I have taught you everything you could learn during this time. Your cooking skills have reached the level of a master chef, and I am very satisfied."
Lu Mu was thrilled to hear Xu Yuehuai's words. He thought he hadn't done well enough and was worried that Xu Yuehuai would scold him. He never expected that Xu Yuehuai would be so satisfied with his performance.
But at the same time, a nameless fear welled up in his heart. He was afraid that Xu Yuehuai would no longer need him because of this and would drive him away.
