Xia Tian nodded: "It's a bit urgent. I promised Mengyun that I would make her something delicious. So, I want to borrow your kitchen and cook a few dishes for her."
Although Mr. Zhang and Chef Liu had clearly stated that they would treat them warmly, Xia Tian still did not forget the promise he made to Qiu Mengyun before coming in.
Even if he didn't do anything, there would be enough delicious food for Qiu Mengyun to enjoy. But he still decided to cook for her himself, after all, this was what he had promised her before.
Moreover, this is Qiu Mengyun’s reward for her work today, and it cannot be replaced by anything else.
When Mr. Zhang and Chef Liu heard Xia Tian say that it was urgent, they were a little disappointed, thinking that they would not have the chance to have dinner together and communicate today.
However, after hearing what Xia Tian said, he felt relieved that he only needed to borrow the kitchen to help Qiu Mengyun cook a few dishes.
"Haha! I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out it's just a matter of cooking a few dishes! Brother Xia, if you don't mind the rough cooking skills of our chefs, just order whatever you want and I'll ask them to cook it." Mr. Zhang said generously.
Xia Tian smiled and declined, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, it's not that I don't trust the skills of your chefs. It's just that this is the reward I promised my girlfriend, and it wouldn't be appropriate to let your chefs do it for me."
"Hahaha! So that's how it is. I didn't think it through. In that case, I won't advise you anymore. Just tell Chef Liu directly what ingredients you need." After hearing what Xia Tian said, Mr. Zhang suddenly realized.
Chef Liu jokingly said, "Oh my! I didn't expect Brother Xia to be such a wife slave. You and your sister-in-law have such a good relationship!"
Hearing Chef Liu's teasing, before Xia Tian could say anything, Qiu Mengyun blushed and defended herself, "No, he's not a wife slave. This was just an agreement we made as a joke. It doesn't matter whether we do it or not."
Xia Tian, however, grabbed Qiu Mengyun's hand and said, "Don't be embarrassed. No matter what others say, I will definitely do what I promised you."
"But……"
Qiu Mengyun felt that it was not a good idea to keep so many people waiting just to make a few dishes for herself, and she wanted to continue to persuade them.
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by He Yunting beside her.
"Mengyun, just let Xia Tian do it. It's rare that he cares about you so much. He even came all the way to the hotel just to cook for you. He's much better than the one in our family. He's busy in the kitchen every day and never thought of making something delicious for me to improve my diet."
Xie Jinglong, who was caught in the crossfire, complained with a depressed look on his face, "Aren't you talking about Xia Tian? Why did you mention me when there was nothing wrong? You know my situation here. I'm just the second chef and I have no right to cook for you without permission."
"Hmph! Stop quibbling. Xia Tian is willing to come to challenge me just to cook for Meng Yun. I've known you for so long, and I've never seen you do such a thing for me." He Yunting didn't listen to his explanation at all.
Xie Jinglong muttered quietly, "How can this be the same? He dares to challenge because he is confident in his own abilities. I have to put in a lot of effort just to apply for the job, let alone challenge."
Seeing He Yunting and Qiu Mengyun chatting enthusiastically, Mr. Zhang asked curiously, "Manager He, do you know each other?"
He Yunting nodded and said, "Yes! Mengyun, Xia Tian and I have known each other for a long time, so we can be considered old friends!"
"However, we didn't invite him to come and challenge us this time. It was purely coincidental that they came here. I only found out about it later."
He Yunting hurriedly explained, as if she was afraid that the boss would misunderstand that she was dissatisfied with the hotel and had specially sent someone to challenge it.
Mr. Zhang laughed nonchalantly and said, "Haha! It doesn't matter why we came to challenge you. Aren't we all happy now? Since we met by chance, it means you and them have a good connection. Why don't you two come over and keep them company during dinner later?"
"OK!"
"Okay, Mr. Zhang."
After hearing what Mr. Zhang said, they both knew that this was all thanks to Xia Tian, and nodded in agreement.
While a few people were chatting here, Xia Tian had already started to get busy, and Chef Liu volunteered to be Xia Tian's second chef.
With the cooperation of Chef Liu, Xia Tian's cooking speed became much faster. In a short time, he had made several dishes that Qiu Mengyun liked.
In the hotel's private room, Xia Tian unceremoniously pushed the sweet and sour pork ribs he had just cooked in front of Qiu Mengyun.
"Here, have this. You love sweet and sour dishes the most, right? This dish is specially made for you. Eat more."
Seeing the other people at the table, they were all looking at him with a half-smile.
Qiu Mengyun said embarrassedly: "Oh! You can just put it there, I can reach it myself. How can others eat it if you push it directly to my side like this!"
Xia Tian said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I made these dishes especially for you. Of course, you should eat them first. Everyone knows this, so I'm sure they won't mind. Right?"
At the end, Xia Tian asked with a smile.
Everyone at the table nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, yes! This is the dish that Brother Xia made specially for his sister-in-law. We are embarrassed to snatch it away."
"Mengyun, hurry up and eat, otherwise we will be fed with your dog food."
"We're already very happy to be able to share a feast with you two, how could we dare to expect Brother Xia to make a loving meal specially for you!"
…
Listening to everyone's jokes, Qiu Mengyun's cheeks turned red unconsciously.
