Chapter 305 Becoming Your Own Thing

Jiang Yang tidied up the store and was about to take a shower.

Suddenly, a phone rang.

"Hello!" Jiang Yang picked it up.

The caller ID is - Zhou Wei.

"Sunshine."

After that, there was a long silence.

"You haven't come back yet?" Jiang Yang asked.

"Ah."

Jiang Yang burst into flames.

"Do you know how worried your godfather and godmother are?" Jiang Yang roared.

"I..." Zhou Wei fell silent.

"They will call me every two days and ask me if you have contacted me! I can hear it from the phone, and the godmother's voice seems to be ten years older!" Jiang Yang continued to roar.

"I'm sorry." Zhou Wei said.

"You tell me there's a fart, and you go tell the godfather and godmother yourself!" Jiang Yang said.

Zhou Wei was silent again.

"Where have you been for so long?" Jiang Yang asked.

"I've been to many places." Zhou Wei said.

"Then why are you calling?"

"I want to... ask, are my parents okay?" Zhou Wei said cautiously.

Jiang Yang was silent, his mood was inexplicably complicated.

"Why don't you call and ask yourself?" Jiang Yang said.

"I……"

"Oh~ forget it, if you still have a conscience, come back sooner." Jiang Yang sighed.

"I... know." Zhou Wei said.

"Then did you find her?" Jiang Yang asked.

There was indeed a silence.

"Okay, I get it. Brother, you've reached this point, let's give up." Jiang Yang said.

"It's okay, I'll hang up first."

"Beep beep..."

Jiang Yang sighed, thinking about going to see his godfather and godmother tomorrow.

……

The next day, Jiang Yang went out early, sent a message to Tao Xiaoyi, and posted a notice.

I went to the vegetable market, bought some ingredients, and took a taxi to Zhou Wei's house.

It was Zhou Wei's mother who opened the door. Zhou's mother, who used to dress up beautifully every day, now looked haggard.

The whole person looks ten years older.

"Xiaoyang is here, come in and sit down." Mother Zhou said.

"Godmother, is godfather there?" Jiang Yang asked.

"No, he's gone to work, what do you want from him?" Mother Zhou asked.

"No, I just came to see you and cook you a meal by the way." Jiang Yang said with a smile.

"It's so far away, it's not too troublesome for you to come here on purpose," Zhou's mother said.

"No trouble." Jiang Yang went to the kitchen and was busy in the kitchen while chatting with Zhou's mother.

Seeing Jiang Yang, Mother Zhou's mood improved a lot.

……

At noon, Zhou's father came back, and it was Zhou's mother who called him.

"Xiaoyang is here?" Father Zhou said.

"Well, godfather."

Jiang Yang cooks a hearty dish, five dishes and one soup.

While eating, chatting.

After eating, Jiang Yang thought for a while and said, "Zhou Wei called me last night."

Mother Zhou became excited all of a sudden, her voice choked up: "How is that stinky boy? Has he lost weight?"

"Xiaoyang didn't see it again, why are you asking this!" Father Zhou said.

"When will that brat come back?" Father Zhou asked.

"I don't know, he said soon, but I don't know how long it will be." Jiang Yang smiled wryly.

Mother Zhou's expression dimmed and she didn't speak.

Father Zhou is much more sensible: "It's good to have news, at least know that the kid is still alive."

After chatting for a while, Jiang Yang got up and went back.

Zhou Wei's phone couldn't get through again, and he didn't know what this kid was doing.

After telling Zhou's father and Zhou's mother the news, Jiang Yang temporarily put aside Zhou Wei's affairs.

……

Beijing, Office of Chefs General Association.

Shen Peihong and an old man were sitting facing each other. There was a chess set in front of them, and it seemed that they should have walked halfway.

If Lin Yong is here, it can be seen that this old man is the president of the Chefs Association.

"I didn't disappoint you this time, did I?" Shen Peihong said.

"Whether I will be disappointed or not is still unknown. Everything will not be known until the knockout rounds begin."

"Then...we'll just wait for the knockout round to start! General!" Shen Peihong said.

"General now, it's too early!" The old man moved his chess piece.

……

Jiang Yang looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so he stopped by Mr. Jiang's place.

Fenghe Building was still the same, so Jiang Yang called Mr. Jiang.

Find Mr. Jiang with ease.

"Xiao Jiang, did you come to see me for something?" Elder Jiang asked.

"I want to ask you another question," Jiang Yang said.

"what is the problem?"

"I'm learning a new dish recently, but no matter how hard I try, the result is not ideal." Jiang Yang said.

"Did something go wrong?"

Jiang Yang shook his head: "No. I know all the steps, and I didn't encounter any problems during the cooking process."

Elder Jiang looked at him, and suddenly said, "Jiang Yang, do you know what makes a good chef?"

Jiang Yang was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Mr. Jiang asked such a question suddenly. Does it have anything to do with his own question?

"Good character, good cooking." Jiang Yang said.

"A good chef, in your eyes, is just like this?" Old Jiang asked.

"Then what is a good cook?" Jiang Yang asked.

"Besides what you said, a good chef must have his own characteristics." Jiang Lao said.

"My own characteristics?" Jiang Yang thought.

"That's right, different chefs have different tastes for the same dish. The chef's personality, experience, etc. are closely related. A chef without his own characteristics is not a good chef at all." Jiang Lao said.

Jiang Yang seemed to have realized something, but also seemed to understand nothing.

"Actually, the problem you have encountered is very simple, that is, you are only trying to draw a picture with a spoon, and you are cooking someone else's food, not your own." Jiang Lao said.

"Then what should I do now?" Jiang Yang asked.

"To understand it, to feel it, to make other people's things your own." Jiang Lao said.

"To understand, to understand..." Jiang Yang muttered.

"I understand a little bit. But I don't know what to do." Jiang Yang said.

"This is your own problem, you need to solve it by yourself. I can help you, just to answer your doubts, but how to do it and how to do it is your business. You need to go your own way. Let's go, that's all I can help you with," Jiang Lao said.

Jiang Yang nodded, thanked Mr. Jiang, and left Fenghe Building.

Jiang Yang understood what Jiang Lao meant, but he still had no idea how to understand it or how to comprehend it.

Before returning to the store, Tao Xiaoyi stood at the door of the store like a discarded puppy.

Seeing Jiang Yang coming back, he came over immediately, and said bitterly, "Boss, I thought you ran away with the money!"

Jiang Yang was amused by Tao Xiaoyi.

"What are you thinking!" Jiang Yang laughed.

"No, I've been waiting for a long time, and you haven't shown up." Tao Xiaoyi said.

Hearing Tao Xiaoyi's complaint, Jiang Yang smiled.

"Go! Go in and work!" Jiang Yang said.
