After they finished washing up, they went to the restaurant together to have breakfast.
When they were almost done eating, Qiu Mengyun asked, "Xia Tian, what are our plans for today?"
Xia Tian: "What else can I arrange? Have you forgotten that I promised Mr. Zhang and Chef Liu last night that I would go to their kitchen today to discuss cooking techniques with them?"
Qiu Mengyun asked tentatively, "Didn't you only agree to teach me two dishes? They should be ready quickly, right? Then can we go shopping together tonight? I haven't had time to go shopping since I started this show."
Xia Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I really want to agree to your request, but I'm afraid I can't. Look over there, Mr. Zhang is already here when we barely got up. It's obvious he's been sending people to keep an eye on us. Since he's so welcoming, it would be stingy of me to only recommend two dishes. I don't think we'll be able to go back tonight, so let's put off shopping for another day!"
Qiu Mengyun followed Xia Tian's gaze and saw Mr. Zhang walking towards her with a smile on his face.
"Brother Xia, sister-in-law, did you rest well last night? I originally wanted to have breakfast delivered to your room, but then I thought about how you young people get up late, so I didn't want to disturb your rest, so I gave up."
Xia Tian put down the bowl of porridge he had just finished and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your concern. We both had a good rest last night. I was just about to go to the kitchen after breakfast to have a chat with Chef Liu, but I didn't expect to run into you here."
Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "That's great. I want to go to the kitchen too. Why don't we go together?"
"Yeah!" Xia Tian nodded in agreement.
Qiu Mengyun looked up and said, "Xia Tian, why don't you go by yourself? I'll go talk to Sister Yun Ting. After we're done, you can find me in the reception area."
Xia Tian nodded without any hesitation: "Okay, then go find Sister Yunting. But don't delay her work, otherwise it will be bad if Sister Yunting's salary is deducted."
Mr. Zhang was incredibly astute. Upon hearing that Qiu Mengyun was going to chat with He Yunting about the past, he quickly said with a smile, "Don't worry. Manager He's job includes helping the hotel receive guests. You two are our distinguished guests now, and entertaining Miss Qiu is her job. She won't have her salary deducted."
"Hehe! Then I feel relieved. Let's go!" Qiu Mengyun waved her hands happily and got up and left.
After saying goodbye to Qiu Mengyun, Xia Tian followed Mr. Zhang directly to the kitchen.
Since it is not yet dinner time, the work in the kitchen is not busy.
Seeing Xia Tian and Mr. Zhang coming over, Chef Liu hurried over to greet them: "Brother Xia, you woke up so early, why don't you rest a little longer?"
Xia Tian laughed and said, "If you sleep any longer, the sun will shine on your butt. Chef Liu, you drank more than me last night, so you woke up earlier than me."
Chef Liu smiled awkwardly: "Haha, I didn't perform well last night. Let's drink again today and I will definitely accompany you."
Xia Tian waved his hand: "Let's talk about drinking tonight. I came here today mainly to exchange cooking skills with you."
"Brother Xia, please feel free to give me some advice." When Chef Liu heard Xia Tian talking about cooking, he immediately became excited.
"All the chefs in charge, put aside your work for now. Today we are fortunate to have Brother Xia in the kitchen to teach everyone about cooking. Hurry and come and learn. I'm telling you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How much you can learn depends on your own understanding."
After expressing his gratitude to Xia Tian, Chef Liu clapped his hands and called all the chefs in the kitchen over.
Seeing the people in the kitchen, they all rushed over.
Xia Tian laughed and said, "Chef Liu, you're being too formal. We're just having a casual conversation."
Chef Liu smiled and said, "To you, it might just be a few casual comments, but to them, it's a blessing from heaven. I can't make it too formal."
Then he looked at the chefs around him and said loudly, "You're all veterans in this business, so I don't need to explain the rules! Later, when Brother Xia is cooking or giving instructions, you can only watch and not ask questions. How much you can understand is up to you, but if there's anything you don't understand, just keep it in mind and think about it later."
"clear!"
The chefs around answered in unison.
Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "Everyone, there's no need to be so reserved. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask directly. I'll tell you everything I know."
"Of course, I don't answer every question. We're all grown-ups now, so please don't test me with basic questions."
"Thank you, Master Xia."
"Master Xia is so generous!"
"Master Xia, don't worry. We definitely won't bother you with such trivial matters."
Hearing Xia Tian’s words, all the chefs around happily expressed their gratitude.
"Chef Liu, how about we start with that chicken tofu pudding you've been craving?"
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Xia Tian looked at Chef Liu and signaled that he should start.
Chef Liu nodded: "Okay, then I'll show you my ugly side."
After saying that, he took out the ingredients that had been prepared long ago and began to process the ingredients according to his usual cooking process.
Xia Tian looked around the crowd and, after making sure he didn't see Xie Jinglong, he looked at Mr. Zhang standing beside him and whispered, "Mr. Zhang, is my friend Xie Jinglong not qualified to come and observe and learn?"
Hearing Xia Tian's words, Mr. Zhang immediately understood: "He's still the second chef, so he shouldn't be qualified to come here to learn. But I've heard from Chef Liu before that Xie Jinglong is performing very well. Not only is he hardworking, but his cooking skills are also quite good. We're planning to promote him to the position of head chef after his probation period."
