Lu Yunxi looked at the man standing in the kitchen and sighed secretly.
Originally, the kitchen was her territory alone, but now there was one more person, which made it a bit of a hindrance.
"Master Lu, you're here?" As soon as he saw her, the man's eyes lit up, he smiled widely, and greeted her enthusiastically.
"Chen San," she twitched her eyes, "I've already said that my cooking skills are only average. If you really want to learn cooking, you should find a better chef to learn from!"
This ordinary-looking adventurer, named Chen San, was the customer who tipped him that day.
After I refused to meet him that day, he didn't pester me. Instead, he came every day to support me and pestered the owner to come and learn cooking skills. The owner was so annoyed by him that he just left me here.
Shen San started to keep an eye on her and stayed in the kitchen every day.
Lu Yunxi was also helpless.
Her level is currently only intermediate. Once she goes to Jinzhou, there will still be many senior chefs there. By then, he will definitely regret becoming her apprentice.
"You can only learn from one master. You can't learn from other masters in the future. Think carefully!" Lu Yunxi advised again and again. The requirements here are quite strict. You can only learn from one master for a certain skill. Otherwise, it would be considered as betraying your master and ancestors, and you would be despised wherever you go!
However, she said this almost every day, but Shen San didn't seem to take it to heart.
"Master Lu, I believe in you, please teach me! The most delicious dish I have ever eaten in my life is made by you!" Shen San's eyes sparkled on his ordinary face.
Lu Yunxi looked at those longing eyes and couldn't say anything.
Is Shen San's life in the real world so hard? He hasn't even had a good meal! Even though he comes to her place to eat every day, she has only cooked for him a few times. With so many snacks and dishes out there, there must be something delicious, right?!
"...Let me think about it." After being rejected so many times, even she couldn't bear to reject him again.
Forget it! Let's just use the "delay" strategy first! After a while, when the adventurer level is up and she can enter the city, Shen San won't chase her anymore!
Shen San saw through her thoughts at a glance, and continued: "Master Lu, please accept me as your apprentice! I have inquired about it, and I will take care of you in your old age! If there is anything inconvenient for you to do, I will help you do it! I will be very obedient, and I will do whatever you tell me to do!"
Lu Yunxi was getting a headache from being pestered by him, but suddenly an idea flashed through her mind: "Well, I do have some troubles here. If you can help me, I will teach you how to cook!"
Shen San was stunned for a moment: “What trouble?”
"Our village is called Mushroom Village. It's cursed. I want to know how to solve this problem. Another problem is that I'm looking for someone named Lu Zhuniang, 35 years old, who has half a jade pendant on her body."
Shen San, who was still waiting for her to continue, was suspicious: "That's it? Is there no other news?"
"That's it." She had already asked around the entire town but hadn't gotten any information. It seemed she had to go to a bigger place as soon as possible. "As long as you can find out some relevant information, I'll teach you how to cook!"
Shen San's eyes lit up, and he immediately went forward to help light the fire happily. It wasn't like he was asked to solve the problem completely, he was just asking for information. He didn't believe that with his ability, he couldn't find out!
"Master, what are we going to do today?"
Lu Yunxi glanced at the shameless Shen San, and did not correct his address: "Today a guest has reserved the second floor and asked for barbecue... You should wash the vegetables over there first."
Shen San nodded hurriedly and immediately went to work. She then began to process the complicated ingredients.
They were so busy that they didn't notice that the village head's wife and the shopkeeper were chatting as they passed by the kitchen door.
When I got off work that night and returned to the door, I saw the village chief's wife with a strange look on her face.
"Mrs. Village Chief, what's wrong with you?" Her face was so distorted that I would have thought she was sick!
"Ahem..." The village head's wife seemed to be choked and kept coughing, her face red from coughing. "Well, I heard that you have found someone now, um, right?"
Lu Yunxi was a little confused: "What do you mean, found someone?" Could it be that there was news about his aunt?
"No! Hey!" The village head's wife covered her face with a handkerchief, looking embarrassed. "I'm talking about the man who cooked with you! Is that the future husband you found for yourself?"
Lu Yunxi: ...
"Future husband?"
"Yeah, don't hide it. I saw it all when I was chatting with the shopkeeper. You two cooperated with each other in the kitchen. You are so well matched!" The village chief's wife's mouth was almost grinning to the back of her head, and her eyes were full of gossip.
"Haha... Madam, please stop joking!" Lu Yunxi twitched her lips and reluctantly explained, "He could be my future apprentice, but I haven't decided yet! I need to test him."
The village chief's wife gave a subtle smile: "I understand! You don't need to explain!"
After explaining for a long time, the village chief's wife still didn't believe it.
Lu Yunxi could only give up struggling and let the rumors and nonsense fly everywhere.
After returning home with difficulty, she fell flat on the bed.
Tired!
Suddenly, the whole world was filled with gossip about her and Shen San. She and Shen San? How could it be possible! They weren't even from the same world, okay?!
When he went to work the next day, Lu Yunxi paid special attention to Shen San's expression.
Fortunately, Shen San didn't seem to have heard the rumors about the two of them, and he was no different from usual when he was with her.
Seeing that she was staring at him, he felt a little strange and touched his face: "Master, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the embarrassment in her heart disappeared in an instant.
"Nothing! Haha!" After relaxing, she burst into laughter. "I just think you look particularly handsome today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a slight collision sound outside the door.
Shen San had his back to the door, looking down at the fire, and didn't notice the movement outside. She immediately raised her head and looked out the door.
The shopkeeper was standing at the door, and seemed to have heard what she had just said. He gave her an understanding smile, nodded slightly, and left with a subtle smile.
Lu Yunxi: ...
The shopkeeper's expression is a little strange!
On the way back that night, everyone I knew was whispering about it.
"Little Lu from Mushroom Village has found a husband for himself! He's so handsome!"
"I've also seen her husband. He looks like a young master from a wealthy family. He's very fair and clean. Oh! When he was coaxing Xiao Lu, don't even mention how happy he made her!"
Lu Yunxi: “…”
It seems like this rumor has been going on for quite some time! Whatever! There's no point explaining it myself anyway. After a while, they'll realize it was all a misunderstanding!
