Chapter 705 The Covenant
"What agreement?" Jiang Yang asked.

Xu Zheng said: "If you can cook a dish with a knife that surpasses mine within half a month, then I will work at Xiangdongliu Restaurant."

"This..." Jiang Yang hesitated.

Xu Zheng's agreement is not simple. You must know that he is famous for his knife skills among the master chefs. It is far more difficult to beat him in knife skills.What's more, within half a month of Xu Zheng's request, this made it even more difficult.

Jiang Yang was thinking, Xu Zheng didn't mean to interrupt his thinking, and drank his tea by himself.

It took a long time before Jiang Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I'm willing to give it a try."

Xu Zheng looked at Jiang Yang. This young man looked a lot like him but not quite like him when he was young.When he was young, he would agree to this difficult agreement, but he would not hesitate for a long time like Jiang Yang.At that time, I was very high-spirited, but it's a pity... Sigh~

Xu Zheng stopped his thoughts, looked at Jiang Yang and said suddenly, "I did this unkindly."

Jiang Yang knew what Xu Zheng said, but he still pursed his lips and did not speak.

Xu Zheng continued: "You and Lao Lin kindly helped me, I know this in my heart. But I still asked you to agree to this agreement, which is not kind of me. But... otherwise, I will feel bad, we old men Everyone has their own pride, how can someone who can become a culinary master not have any pride in his heart?" At this point, Xu Zheng laughed at himself, and continued: "I taught you before, but now I have to rely on you Help, I really can't let go of this old face. If your knife skills surpass me, then I can comfort myself, after all, the master is a teacher, so there is nothing you can't let go of."

After Xu Zheng finished speaking, his heart suddenly relaxed a lot.These words have been backlogged in his heart for a long time, and now he finally said them in one breath.

As for whether these words were suitable for Jiang Yang, Xu Zheng didn't think too much about it.

After Jiang Yang listened, his expression was a little surprised and a little relieved.

"Mr. Xu, no matter what, I will do my best. I will come back to you in half a month." Jiang Yang said.

Xu Zheng took a sip of tea slowly, and Jiang Yang said goodbye and left.

Xu Zheng drank tea alone, one cup after another, turning the tea into wine.

Old Lin, I'm afraid I still don't know what I owe you!
Xu Zheng thought.

He has a lot of debts, Xu Zheng has been in debt all his life.There are debts owed to this, debts owed to that, some are paid off, and some are still paid off.Debt ruined his life, even if he became a master chef, so what?He has been such a failure in his life.

Xu Zheng shook his head and stopped thinking about those things.

…………

Ren Pengcheng is not happy these days, he has accumulated too many things in his heart and cannot tell others.

He felt that he was not pure anymore, since the so-called plan started, he had become not pure enough.No, maybe earlier, when he said yes.

Looking at the implementation of the plan in recent days, Ren Pengcheng felt very complicated.But after a while, his eyes became firm again.

No matter what means, he also wants to go to another height to see the scenery there.

Ren Pengcheng didn't notice that he was already a little mad.In the past, in order to improve his culinary skills, although he would use some means, there was still a bottom line, unlike this time.

Not long after, a "confidant" of Ren Pengcheng came in to report the progress of the plan to Ren Pengcheng.

Ren Pengcheng looked at this so-called "confidant" and didn't know what to think in his heart. A confidant is a confidant, and it is debatable who it is.

"Okay, you go down." Ren Pengcheng said.

"Yes, President." The man took a few steps back, stood still, and said, "President, there is news that the plan can speed up the progress."

Ren Pengcheng asked a little strangely: "Didn't you say that you should take your time? Why do you say that you should speed up the progress now?"

The man shook his head and said: "I don't know about that, anyway, it's the news from over there, I just pass it on."

Ren Pengcheng frowned, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I see, you go down first."

After speaking, Ren Pengcheng saw that the man did not leave, and asked again: "What? Do you have something else to do?"

The man shook his head and said, "President, what about the progress?"

Ren Pengcheng said: "I will make a decision myself."

"But it's been said over there. Could it be that the president doesn't want to speed up the progress? You know, this is related to the breakthrough of your culinary skills, president." The man said, not at all like a subordinate's attitude towards a superior.

Ren Pengcheng stared and said, "Don't I know? Do you still need to teach me how to do things?"

The man hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I just kindly remind the president, if the president doesn't appreciate it, I have nothing to do."

After speaking, the man went down on his own.

Ren Pengcheng angrily dropped the pen in his hand, and it cracked on the table, everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, he collected the fragments of pens scattered all over the place one by one, and threw them all into the trash can.

…………

Jiang Yang was thinking about a problem all the way back, that is how to cook a dish with better knife skills than Xu Zheng within half a month.

Jiang Yang doesn't know many heavy knife dishes, and Jiang Yang doesn't think he can surpass Xu Zheng in every dish he knows.

Sometimes, talent is important, but hard work is more important.

Xu Zheng has been immersed in knife crafting for decades, how can Jiang Yang surpass it in a short period of time?

Jiang Yang thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a suitable solution.

He can only decide to practice knife skills hard during this period of time to see if there is any hope. If there is still no hope by then, then he still has to go there, at least from the beginning to the end.

With that in mind, Jiang Yang returned to the shop.

Yu Zhiyu was preparing things in the back kitchen. When he saw Jiang Yang coming back, he greeted him, "Master, are you back? Where have you been this early in the morning?"

"I went to do something." Jiang Yang replied.

Looking at Yu Zhiyu, he said, "Are you ready?"

Yu Zhiyu smiled and said: "I didn't see you when I came to the store, so I made preparations first, isn't it almost finished."

Jiang Yang nodded and said, "Go and buy more ingredients, we will open the door earlier today."

Yu Zhiyu looked at Jiang Yang in disbelief and said, "Master, are you okay? Did you get your head caught when you went out early in the morning?"

Jiang Yang was speechless, and said angrily: "Your forehead was pinched!"

Yu Zhiyu said: "Master, why did you think of opening the door early today? This is not in line with your personality! In the past, you wanted to open the door for an hour and rest for a whole day. Today is incredible."

Jiang Yang said: "At that time...forget it, why tell you these things. Hurry up and buy some goods, I'm busy today."

Yu Zhiyu said happily: "Okay, master, I'll go buy ingredients right away."

Seeing Yu Zhiyu's happy look, Jiang Yang shook his head in his heart and said, you are too happy too soon.
