"Good afternoon, Master Xia."
Seeing Xia Tian coming, all the chefs in the kitchen greeted him respectfully.
Xia Tian smiled and waved his hand. "Don't be so polite, everyone. I just saw that the store is not busy right now, so I came over to take a look. I wonder if it's convenient for everyone to exchange cooking skills now? Do you want to take a rest first, and then we can continue the discussion?"
"No, no. We're not tired. Brother Xia, let's just get started."
Chef Liu didn't want to miss the opportunity to learn from Xia Tian. When he heard that Xia Tian was there specifically to teach them how to cook, he immediately stood up straight and showed great enthusiasm.
Other chefs also agreed and invited Xia Tian to teach them how to make their specialties.
Xia Tian smiled and said, "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, let's get started!"
Fang Wenxuan, standing in the corner of the crowd, saw how respectful everyone was to Xia Tian. He quietly pulled down the shirt of a waiter next to him and whispered, "Hey, who is this guy? Why do all the masters here seem so respectful to him?"
The waiter said with admiration, "This is Master Xia. He's a distinguished guest of Mr. Zhang and Chef Liu, and they invited him to teach everyone about cooking."
"Tsk! With Xia Tian's mediocre cooking skills, what qualifications does he have to come here to teach us? In my opinion, it would be better to invite me instead of him." Fang Wenxuan had never tasted Xia Tian's cooking and thought he was just an ordinary person who could cook a few home-cooked dishes. He sneered with disdain.
"How dare you talk like that? Although Master Xia is young, his cooking skills are so good that even Chef Liu would be ashamed of himself. We should respect senior masters like him." After hearing Fang Wenxuan's words, Brother Dahe accused him dissatisfiedly.
Fang Wenxuan said unconvincedly: "He is not the master of our shop, what's wrong with what I said? Not to mention that he can't hear me, even if he is standing here, I dare to say it in front of him."
"Okay, okay! You're a troublemaker, right? Then all the work of slaughtering chickens and fishes tonight will be done by you!" Brother Dahe didn't know Fang Wenxuan at this time, so he didn't indulge him at all and started to make things difficult for him at work.
"What's so great about you? You're just a poor waiter. What qualifications do you have to order me around?"
Of course, Fang Wenxuan disagreed with such a work arrangement.
Although he had learned some rough cooking skills, he had never done things like killing chickens and fish.
So he started arguing with the Dutch guy directly.
"What are you brats making such a fuss over there? If you don't want to watch, get out and don't bother others."
Chef Liu heard their faint noise, glanced towards the corner, and scolded them in dissatisfaction.
"Qiangzi, what's wrong with you? Why are you making trouble at such an important occasion?"
A chef who was not far away from the two of them recognized the waiter's voice and glared at him fiercely.
The waiter named Qiangzi said with a look of grievance, "Chef Liu, Master Song, this is not my fault. It's this new handyman who's been saying bad things about Master Xia, saying his cooking skills are mediocre. He also said that you should ask Master Xia for guidance instead of him."
Hearing Qiangzi's words, everyone turned their eyes over.
Chef Liu shouted with an unpleasant expression, "Come here, both of you, and apologize to Master Xia."
Under Chef Liu's order, Qiangzi, with a frightened look on his face, took Fang Wenxuan to the center of the crowd.
"Master Xia, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have quarreled with him at this time and affected your cooking exchange." Qiangzi lowered his head and apologized respectfully.
Xia Tian smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, after all you are helping me. On the contrary, I should be thanking you."
"Okay, don't look down anymore. If you want to continue learning, stand next to me and watch!"
"Thank you, Master Xia."
Hearing Xia Tian's words, Qiangzi hurriedly thanked him, and then happily stood behind Xia Tian.
"New guy, why don't you apologize?"
After seeing Fang Wenxuan coming over and standing there stupidly, Chef Liu couldn't help but urge him.
Fang Wenxuan, however, held his head high and said with disdain, "I don't need to apologize. There's nothing wrong with telling the truth. In my opinion, his cooking skills are really nothing."
Seeing Fang Wenxuan actually called out Xia Tian's name right away, Chef Liu asked in surprise, "Have you and Master Xia known each other before?"
Fang Wenxuan snorted coldly: "Huh! I can come here to do odd jobs, thanks to his help."
Now Chef Liu was in a dilemma. He was not clear about the relationship between Xia Tian and Fang Wenxuan, and didn't know how to deal with it.
Xia Tian noticed the confusion on his face and said with a smile, "Chef Liu, this guy is an old acquaintance of mine. He's just like that, he doesn't hold back when he speaks. You don't have to pay attention to him."
I heard that Xia Tian and Fang Wenxuan were really old friends, and Fang Wenxuan openly questioned Xia Tian's cooking skills.
Chef Liu thought that Fang Wenxuan was a fellow apprentice of Xia Tian, or a culinary genius similar to Xia Tian.
He asked curiously, "Brother Xia, is this kid also from our industry? Could it be that he..."
Xia Tian naturally knew what Chef Liu was thinking. Before he could finish, Xia Tian explained, "Chef Liu, you misunderstood. He didn't study cooking. I arranged for him to come here to do odd jobs because he owed our hotel money for meals, and I asked him to come here to work and pay off his debt."
After hearing Xia Tian say this, everyone instantly understood the relationship between the two.
