Chef's Mistake Respawn
Chapter 2
Now, are you going to continue talking to me at the door, this is the way of hospitality? " Zuo Yiyang looked at Li Shuwei and asked.
"You, what are you talking about first?" Li Shuwei grabbed the doorknob, and if he didn't care about hospitality, he would have closed the door early in the morning.
"Okay." Zuo Yiyang no longer insisted. "It's like this. My wife is going to have a party, so I'm here to ask Mr. Cao for help."
"Help? Why do you ask him for help? Your wife is British, and Xiao Cao can only cook Chinese food." He can't even use chopsticks and wants to eat Chinese food.
"The theme of this party is Chinese style, so we need to cook Chinese food." Seeing what Li Shuwei wanted to say, Zuo Yiyang hurriedly interrupted, "I'm here to ask Mr. Cao, if you agree or not, at least I have to ask Cao Sir." As Zuo Yiyang walked in, Li Shuwei had no choice but to let the door open.
"Hey you……"
Zuo Yiyang came to the kitchen and greeted him, "Mr. Cao, good afternoon."
Cao Yilin turned around, "Hello..."
"I'm sorry to bother you, but there is something I need your help with." Zuo Yiyang lowered his posture and said sincerely.
"If you have something to say, just say it, if I can help, I will try my best..."
"Great, this matter is up to you." Zuo Yiyang said with a smile.
"Um, what's the matter?" Cao Yilin asked after wiping his hands with his apron.
"It's like this, my wife is going to have a Chinese-themed party at home, and the best Chinese food I know is you, so I would like to ask you for a favor. Remuneration is not a problem, the rest is yours We will be ready for you if you need it.”
"When is the party?"
"Xiao Cao..." Li Shuwei wanted to stop him.
Zuo Yiyang stepped in front of Li Shuwei to block him from continuing, "Next Saturday night."
Cao Yilin thought for a while that there was nothing to do next Saturday, so he agreed, "Okay."
Li Shuwei poked his head out from behind Zuo Yiyang, with a reproachful expression on his face, as if he was complaining about why he agreed.
"Thank you very much. By the way, the PARTY Mr. Richard will also come that day. I think it will be helpful to you." After finishing speaking, Zuo Yiyang smiled politely, and took another look at Li Shuwei before leaving.
Li Shuwei trembled all over, and ran to Cao Yilin's side. "No, I won't send it."
When the person left, Li Shuwei said excitedly, "Why did you agree to him?"
"Huh? I'm fine next Saturday..."
"Can I go shopping if I have nothing to do? Why did you agree to him?" Li Shuwei walked back and forth in front of Cao Yilin.
Cao Yilin followed his movements and turned his head around, "Are you worried about something? Don't worry, I will do well that day." Cao Yilin thought he was worried about himself.
"Who's worried about you?" He was worried about himself, and Li Shuwei shouted from the bottom of his heart.
In the evening, Cao Yilin brought the supper to Xu Wei's study.
Xu Wei stretched his waist, "It's time for supper again, that's great." When Cao Yilin walked in and put down the plate, Xu Wei stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, "Huh?" Cao Yilin struggled first, "After a while, Just hug for a while."
Listening to Xu Wei's tired voice, Cao Yilin gradually calmed down, and asked softly, "Are you tired?"
"Yeah, I have to finish the work at hand as early as possible, so that I can be with you all the way next month." Xu Wei put his head on Cao Yilin's shoulder and rubbed it.
"Anyway, the competition is in City A, so there's no need..." Cao Yilin persuaded.
"I want to be with you." Xu Wei said faintly, finally hugged him, the next step is to devour him little by little, how can he no longer stay by his side.
Every time Xu Wei said such words, Cao Yilin blushed like a monkey's ass. It feels... strange for a man to say this to a man.
"Ah, by the way, Mr. Zuo from next door came to the house today, please ask me to help him at his house next Saturday." Cao Yilin finally thought of changing the topic.
"Next Saturday? You agreed." It wasn't a question or an affirmative sentence, but he refused because he knew he didn't understand.
"Yeah, I had nothing to do that day anyway, so I agreed. He also said that someone named Charlie... would come, and Mr. Zuo also said that he would help me, but I don't know what help..."
"Charlie?" Xu Wei raised his head and asked.
"Seems to be."
"Will he really go?" Xu Wei asked hurriedly.
"Uh, Mr. Zuo said he would go." Seeing Xu Wei's face full of surprise, that person... who is it?
"Then you must go. I will go with you that day."
"what?!"
35: Mrs. Helen's Dinner
Seeing Xu Wei's appearance, Zuo Yiyang raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect Mr. Xu to be free again today? And... three hours earlier." Mrs. Helen had invited him several times before but failed to invite First Young Master Xu, Unexpectedly, it came this time.Thinking of this, he unconsciously glanced at Cao Yilin, because of him?
"Today's appointment is temporarily canceled. I came to visit unexpectedly. I hope I won't cause you any trouble." Xu Wei smiled slightly.
"OH, MYGOD, Xu, are you here?" Cao Yilin turned his head and hadn't seen who was coming, only to see a shiny pink figure suddenly pounce on Xu Wei beside him.
Mrs. Helen, who is about 40 years old and still has charm, hangs on Xu Wei enthusiastically. Although she is European, she speaks proficient Chinese. "Didn't it mean that I didn't have time? It came so suddenly, I didn't prepare well." While talking, touching, and doing her hair, fortunately, she had done her makeup in advance.Ah, I wonder if her makeup is too heavy today?
Xu Wei tried his best to maintain a smile, and signaled Zuo Yiyang with his eyes to pull his wife away quickly.
"Ma'am, this is Mr. Cao. He will prepare all the meals for today's party." Zuo Yiyang knows his master very well. Although he likes to take advantage of a little bit, he is occasionally lost by "beauty" A small meeting, but generally speaking, I will take the overall situation into consideration and treat people with courtesy.
Hearing Zuo Yiyang's introduction, Mrs. Helen withdrew her hands suddenly as if someone had tapped her acupuncture points, and turned her head with a dignified expression.Looking at Cao Yilin, he smiled kindly and said, "Mr. Cao, I will trouble you today."
Cao Yilin was taken aback by the speed of the "face-changing", "...you, you are welcome."
"Then I won't bother you for the time being." Immediately afterwards, Madam Helen's attention returned to Xu Wei, and she said with a bright smile, "Xu, let's go in first. It just so happens that I have something to ask you." Then she said involuntarily Pull Xu Wei and walk in.
"I……"
"I will take good care of Mr. Cao, please rest assured Mr. Xu." Zuo Yiyang looked at Xu Wei being dragged away by his wife with an expression of "you can go at ease".Seeing Cao Yilin's stunned look, he explained, "My wife is so warm to people, you will get used to it gradually. I'll take you to the kitchen first, this way please."
"Uh, oh..." Cao Yilin followed up, and couldn't help but look back... That lady's dress is really shiny, her whole body is covered in sequins.
"The chef at home suddenly asked for sick leave, so I may have to work hard for you today." Zuo Yiyang can be sure that Mary did it on purpose. After all, she has worked here for more than ten years, and now she has hired an outsider to do it. She will definitely have Dissatisfied, but she can't cook Chinese food...
"According to the materials you listed before, we are all ready, can you see what else is missing?"
Cao Yilin looked at the entire kitchen piled up with all kinds of materials, red, green, yellow... Is this going to be a seven-day banquet? This amount is too exaggerated...
Seeing Cao Yilin frown, Zuo Yiyang asked, "What, isn't it enough?"
"No! Enough!" Cao Yilin repeated these two words a little "shockingly", it is true that it is not enough for a month.
"not enough?"
"No, there are too many, too many..."
"That's good, don't be afraid of too much, be afraid of less."
"Then can I take some back?" Cao Yilin said, the key is that considering so many dishes, his family will definitely not be able to eat them before they spoil, so it's better for him to take some back to share than to waste.
"Bring... what?" It's not that Zuo Yiyang didn't hear clearly, it's just that he wasn't sure if what he heard was true.
"I mean, when the party is over, can I take back some untouched dishes?" Cao Yilin thought he didn't hear what he said, so he repeated it.
The corners of Zuo Yiyang's eyes twitched and he laughed twice, "...you can..."
"Thank you." This way you don't have to buy groceries tomorrow.
Said Cao Yilin began to prepare.
Frankly speaking, Zuo Yiyang was somewhat curious about Cao Yilin.Of course, he was curious about all the people who appeared around Li Shuwei. Seeing his skillful selection and chopping of vegetables, he said politely, "Do you need help?"
"Ah, oh, if it doesn't bother you, help me pick the coriander." Cao Yilin pointed to the side and said.
"...Uh..." His words of help were just for the occasion... that's all.
"Is there a problem? Ah..." Looking at Zuo Yiyang's troubled face, "You don't know, do you? It's actually very simple, just take off the dry yellow leaves and pinch off the roots. Let me see you Nails, well, it’s okay, then you don’t need to borrow tools, it’s faster. Just choose the ones you want and put them in this vegetable basket, please.”
Looking at the vegetable basket stuffed in his hand, Zuo Yiyang was speechless, doesn't this person know what polite words are?Zuo Yiyang looked down at the basket in his hand, it was obviously...
Half an hour has passed...
Zuo Yiyang thought he had completed the "task" efficiently and with good quality. "I'm done, how is it?"
Cao Yilin took the time to look back, bit his lower lip, "You are the first to do it?"
"It's sort of..." Although the butler school has cooking classes, his main focus is not there.
"Okay." Cao Yilin didn't want to hit him, "Um, aren't you going to receive guests?"
Faced with Cao Yilin's lame change of subject, Zuo Yiyang still walked down his steps, pretending to check his watch, "Well, it's almost time. Are you sure you can go here alone?"
Cao Yilin said without turning his head, "No problem." When he was part-time job before, he had done more work than this, and unless the kitchen is often cooperated with or more clever people do it together, otherwise one more person may be a problem. Add to the chaos.
"Okay, then tell me what you need, I will basically be at the entrance of the front hall." Seeing Cao Yilin nodding, Zuo Yiyang walked out of the kitchen.
In the living room, I happened to meet Xu Wei who came down from upstairs, and smiled, "Mr. Xu."
"Mrs. Helen is looking for you." Xu Wei said.
"Okay, thank you." Zuo Yiyang was about to go upstairs.
"correct……"
Zuo Yiyang turned around, "Is there anything else Mr. Xu can do?"
"Where is the kitchen?"
"Go straight and turn left and then right and you will see it."
Xu Wei nodded, "See you later."
"see you later."
"Do you want me to call Li Shuwei to help?" Xu Wei folded his hands on his chest, he liked to see him busy in the kitchen.It's just that the three roaring boilers and the vegetables that Cao Yilin kept stirring made him frown slightly, and Xu Wei didn't make a sound until he took out the vegetables.
Just as Cao Yilin put the pot into the sink, when he heard the sound, he turned around and found Xu Wei standing by the door at some point, "Uh, it's okay, no more."
"But you seem to need a few more hands." Xu Wei looked at those boilers, not thinking that his "okay" was really "okay".
Cao Yilin turned his head and glanced, "Actually, it looks like it's very busy, but everything is going on in an orderly manner. If I need help, I will tell you."
Xu Wei stepped forward and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the sweat from Cao Yilin's forehead and temples. "Then I'll stay and help you."
Cao Yilin is still getting used to these intimate actions, maybe the distance is too close, maybe it's really too hot, his face is slightly red, and he stammered a little, "No, no, I can really do it."
"I want to stay and help you."
Cao Yilin didn't understand why every time Xu Wei said something that sounded like "sweet words", his expression was always warm, as if the words didn't come from his mouth.And his face also changed from reddish to deep red.
Xu Wei is very happy that Cao Yilin is no longer stiff from his touch, which is a great improvement for the relationship between the two of them.
"Where are you going to assign me?" Xu Wei couldn't help reminding that it was less than an hour before the time for dinner.
"Oh, that, wash that for me first, and put it here." Cao Yilin shook off the daze caused by the heat just now, and picked up the plate on the side and handed it to Xu Wei.
"By the way..." He opened his briefcase and took out a spare apron, "Put this on so as not to get your clothes dirty."
Xu Wei washed his hands and straightened his arms, and Cao Yilin directly helped him tie them around his back. "alright."
"kindness."
"That needs to be washed..."
"Don't peel the skin so thickly, it will almost be peeled off by you..."
"Don't lift it, this will be covered for a while..."
In the following time, only Cao Yilin kept reminding him to correct Xu Wei's operation.
At the end of the busy day, compared to Xu Wei's uncontrollable excitement, Cao Yilin sat slumped on the side, couldn't help thinking, it was really more tiring than working alone, and the whole thing was just a waste of help...
36: Lady Helen's Dinner (2)
"It's finally done." Although there was no substantial contribution, Xu Wei still said with emotion.Looking at the table full of dishes, an indescribable sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously.
"Yes." Cao Yilin leaned on the table and let out a sigh of relief. This was the most exhausting cooking he had ever done. .
Looking at Cao Yilin's exhausted face, "Next time, get a few more people to help." Xu Wei suggested that if he wasn't here, he would be even more tired.
He could just lie down with a few more people, but just as Cao Yilin was about to refuse, Zuo Yiyang just came in.
"Already done... ready?" He was taken aback by Xu Wei's "house husband" appearance.
"There are still two dishes stewing in the pot, you can serve these cold dishes first." Xu Wei pointed to some dishes in front of him.
Zuo Yiyang quickly recovered his "calmness", "Okay...then I will inform everyone." Before leaving, he gave Xu Wei a strange look
For Zuo Yiyang's "fuss", Xu Wei smiled indifferently.
"Take off the apron." Cao Yilin pointed in front of him.
Xu Wei looked at himself, "Don't you think this is pretty good?" He said, and put on a pose that he thought was very elegant.
Cao Yilin looked at the mud stains, tomato juice, oil stains on the apron in front of Xu Wei... It was really hard for him to nod.
"Uh... If you don't go out again, will there be no place for you?"
"The location is ready." In other words, don't worry about it.
Seeing that Xu Wei was still waiting for his answer, Cao Yilin could only nod against his will.
"Where is it good?" He found that Cao Yilin didn't dare to look him in the eyes every time he told a lie.
"...the apron." Seeing Xu Wei getting closer and closer, Cao Yilin held back for a while and popped out two words.
"What's so good about the apron?" He wondered what else he could "break off".
"Colorful...very, very good."
"Better than me?"
"Cough..." A sudden cough interrupted the closeness between the two.
Xu Wei let go of Cao Yilin and turned to look at "Cheng Yaojin".
Zuo Yiyang looked at him innocently, but he didn't want to disturb them if he could.It's just that everyone is already seated and waiting for the food to be served. "You guys bring the dishes here first, and these cold dishes first." After explaining to the temporary workers behind him, he said to Xu Wei, "The dinner party has already begun, Mr. Xu please!"
Without the slightest embarrassment of being discovered, Xu Wei took off his apron slowly and said to Cao Yilin, "I'm going to the restaurant first."
Cao Yilin nodded with his face flushed, not daring to look at Zuo Yiyang and the others.
"Xu, come and sit here." Seeing Xu Wei, Madam Helen directly beckoned him to sit next to her.
At this time, plates of delicious dishes have been served one after another.
Mrs. Helen is sitting in the first seat as the host. On the left is Xu Wei who just sat down, and on the right is a foreigner in his 50s, with a little silver in his brown hair, a chubby figure and a slightly raised mouth. , giving people a kind and kind feeling.
Because most of the people here are Westerners, Mrs. Helen introduced Xu Wei to everyone directly in English, and explained that all the Chinese dishes tonight are made by Mr. Cao, the chef of Xu Wei's family.
"It's my honor to be able to help Madam." This sentence made Madam Helen "giggle".
Xu Wei said politely to the others again, "I hope the food tonight can satisfy everyone's appetite."
Then Mrs. Helen invited everyone to enjoy the delicious food together, and said to Charlie, "Mr. Charlie, you have to try the dishes tonight. I know you prefer Chinese food, and you are also an expert in this field, so I specially found a very good one." Chinese chefs have prepared these, and of course you need to explain the mysteries of this Chinese cuisine to those of us who don’t understand.”
"Madam, you're welcome. Chinese food can't be explained in one sentence or two, but it can be summed up with an idiom in Chinese, that is 'broad and profound'. The recipes are very particular and varied. I have to say, just eat The Chinese are very happy in this area. Is it Mr. Xu?" Charlie asked Xu Wei with a smile.
"I don't deny that." Xu Wei nodded in agreement. "Tonight's dishes are all traditional and classic home-cooked dishes in China, and I hope everyone can get used to eating them."
"Okay, okay, the dishes are all on the table, so don't be dazed, let's talk while eating." Mrs. Helen first picked up the chopsticks and looked in front of her. Some kind of meat and... is that skin?
"What is this?" Madam Helen picked up a piece and put it into her bowl, asking curiously, she had never seen this thing before.
Xu Wei first looked at Mr. Charlie, and saw that he was silent, so he introduced it to Mrs. Helen, "This is crystal pigskin jelly."
"Pig skin jelly?" After hearing the name, Mrs. Helen regretted it. This pig skin...is used for cooking.
"Ma'am, this pigskin is a good thing for women." Xu Wei explained.
"why?"
"Pig skin is rich in collagen. I believe everyone knows that collagen is good for women's skin, so many women in China like it. This is what Xiao Cao specially prepared for the ladies here. Of course, men also eat it. After all, beauty is not a woman's patent now." It can be seen that Madam still has a little hesitation.
"This dish can't help but beautify the skin, and the taste is very good. If it's not delicious, I won't mind spitting it out."
Madam Helen slowly picked it up and put it into her mouth out of curiosity. Originally, she thought that the pigskin would be hard and hard to bite, but unexpectedly, it would be smooth and smooth.And the surrounding transparent ones seem to be some kind of soup, "Well, it's really delicious."
With Mrs. Helen's affirmation, everyone also tried and nodded appreciatively.Dare to taste the seemingly strange dishes that came later.
During the whole dinner, everyone gave admiration frequently, and only Mr. Charlie didn't say a word. When the last dish was served, everyone's stomachs were slightly protruding, and they leaned on the seats with satisfied faces, following the table manners. Forget it.
"Mrs. Helen, I have an unkind request." Charlie picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Mr. Charlie is polite, please say something."
"Can you let us meet the chef who serves these delicacies tonight?" Charlie De is known as the person who has eaten Chinese cuisine and has the most research on Chinese cuisine. Before that, he traveled all over China and discovered a lot of delicacies. And met a group of friends who love food or cook food. In Charlie's view, every chef has his own "taste". When cooking the same dish, different people will have different tastes, but he I have never tasted this kind of taste, a kind of peaceful but maximum performance of the advantages of various materials, harmonious
37: Lady Helen's Dinner (3)
Charlie De sighed in his heart, his eyes watching.
Even Cao Yilin, who is as dull as Cao Yilin, can feel this eager gaze.
"Are you married?" Seeing Cao Yilin staring at him, Charlie put on a smile and suddenly asked in fluent Chinese.
Cao Yilin pointed to himself, did he ask him?
"It's you, are you married?" Charlie repeated.
"Not yet..." I don't know if it was his illusion, but the creases on the face of this foreign old man who had twisted his neck for 2 minutes and was suspected of being sprained seemed to deepen two more.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Is it the third daughter who is more quiet or the fourth daughter who is more aggressive?Charlie was struggling in his heart, what type does he like?Let's meet them all and see which one he likes.If poaching can't be taken away, it would be best to take it home and be a son-in-law... Charlie laughed "giggle, giggle" in his heart.
"...No." Xu Wei is a man, at most he can be regarded as a boyfriend, not a girlfriend.Cao Yilin analyzed it, shook his head and said.
"I have two women who are also chefs. Find a time to introduce you to each other and learn from each other."
The meaning of these words is quite clear, Xu Wei sees that the other party is an old man, following the traditional virtues of respecting the old and caring for the young in China, he resisted throwing him out.In front of his face, he wanted to introduce a woman to his people.
"Um, if given the chance."
"It just so happens that they are going to come to City A next month. We'll get in touch when the time comes. Is it convenient to give me a call?"
"I haven't remembered my number, sorry." Cao Yilin really didn't remember his number.
"Huh?" Charlie didn't expect to touch a soft nail.
Although he knew that Cao Yilin was unintentional, Xu Wei still couldn't help laughing in his heart. "Yilin just bought a mobile phone, so he is not familiar with his number. If Mr. Charlie wants to find him, he can call my home directly, or I don't mind sending messages for you. This is my business card." Xu Weicong He took out a business card case from his pocket, took out a card and handed it over.
"Alright." Charlie accepted it and put it on.
It's not that Xu Wei is willing to "pull" this line, it's just that Charlie De, as the judge of the preliminary competition of the AC competition, can't let him face.
He is talking about what to be afraid of with him in charge.
"It seems that Mr. Charlie is very satisfied with Mr. Cao." Mrs. Helen said jokingly.
Charlie laughed, "That's right. Young people nowadays are very difficult."
Leaving Mrs. Helen's house, Charlie couldn't wait to call his old friend as soon as he got in the car.
"Old Huang, you don't know what I ate today."
Lao Huang, who was watching TV on the other end, often received calls from this old foreign friend so "suddenly", he must have discovered something delicious again, or met a good chef, so he said cooperatively, "You what did you eat?"
"Today I ate Longjing shrimp, lion head, gourd duck, duck wrapped fish..."
"Eating so much didn't support you." Hearing what he said, Lao Huang knew that Charlie De was so excited and wanted to share with him that the focus was not on the dishes, but on the people who cook them.However, the eight major cuisines he just mentioned are basically available. "Where are you now?"
"In the car."
"I mean, are you in City A?" Lao Huang couldn't help but rolled his eyes on the phone.
"Yes. Oh, don't change the subject. I accepted Mrs. Helen's invitation today. She invited a very powerful chef. She was only in her early twenties. The dishes she cooked were very, very delicious. It's a pity that you are not here. gone."
Mrs. Helen, in City A, could it be...
"If you have a chance, you must try the dish made by that person. The taste is really..." Charlie recalled the deliciousness just now in his mind.
"Is the chef's surname Cao?" Lao Huang asked hurriedly.
"Huh? How do you know? You know it. It's too embarrassing, you even told me before..." Charlie said dissatisfied.
"I just found out about it two weeks ago. You were not in City A at that time." Then it's no wonder that it made Charlie so excited.
"Oh. But that kid is amazing, right?"
"Yeah." Thinking of the child cooking a full banquet in front of him...
"I really want to eat it again." If I can be kidnapped and be my son-in-law, and I can eat it every day... the world will be perfect.
“There will be a chance next month”
"what?"
"He participated in the AC competition, and you are the judge." What a chance.
"real."
"kindness."
"Old Huang..."
"Huh?" Hearing Charlie's sudden serious voice, Lao Huang replied hesitantly.
"Seeing Cao Yilin and your kid, I am looking forward to this year's AC competition."
"En." So?Based on his understanding of him, there should be a follow-up to this statement.
"So...you have to pack the dishes for the final and leave them to me."
"..." "Pa" Lao Huang paused for three seconds and hung up the phone.Who would do such a shameful thing.
"Hello? Hello?" He was followed by a "beep..." sound.
"...Even if you don't agree, just say good night to me, and then hang up on me. Isn't China a country of etiquette..." The driver is very used to the boss's random thoughts. He glanced at the time and started counting. How long can it last.
Xu Wei and Cao Yilin walked home side by side in the dark, "Who is that foreigner?" This was what Cao Yilin wanted to ask most at night.
"He is the judge of the preliminary round of the AC competition. However, it seems that he is quite 'satisfied' with you." Xu Wei emphasized the word "satisfied" and introduced his daughter to him.
Why didn't he respond? As soon as he turned his face, he saw Cao Yilin stopped behind, with a frightened expression on his face, "What's wrong?"
"Huh? He, he, he is the judge?" Cao Yilin's ears were closed when he received the word "judgment", and only these two words were circling in his mind.
"Yes."
"Then, the dishes I just had..."
"He is very satisfied."
"Oh..." Cao Yilin heaved a sigh of relief.
Xu Wei rubbed his head, "Have some confidence in yourself, you must know that our family can only eat the food you cooked, Master Mao lost to you, Mr. Huang also praised your cooking skills, Mr. Charlie is so satisfied that he can't wait to take you home as a new son-in-law. It's not a random person to pick anyone out at random, don't you still doubt yourself? "
"Actually, it's a competition, you can think of him as making delicious food for other people. Think about your mood when you cook for us. It's the same. Would you still be nervous?" Just as he was talking, Xu Wei Suddenly, Cao Yilin looked at him without blinking, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"...No." Cao Yilin withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward with a smile on his lips.He was right, the purpose of participating in the competition was to compete and learn from other people.Winning is the highest affirmation of his culinary skills, and losing can also see and learn from other more powerful people.Thinking about it this way is indeed a lot easier.
Seeing the change in Cao Yilin's mood, Xu Wei raised his eyebrows and pulled him back, "You feel better, how can you thank me?"
"……thanks……"
"Send me with a thank you?"
"How can I thank you?" Cao Yilin "asked for advice humbly".
"Kiss here." Xu Wei pointed to his cheek.
"Huh?" Cao Yilin's eyes widened.
"We've been dating for a long time, and I haven't seen you take the initiative once. It's like I'm forcing you. And when Mr. Charlie asked you if you have a girlfriend, you should just tell him that you have a boyfriend. Let’s talk again when we have a chance, don’t you want to be in two boats…” Although every time you can only win Cao Yilin’s intolerance by pretending to be wronged, it’s shameful, but it’s very practical.
Cao Yilin kept shaking his head, he wanted to say that it was not forced, he wanted to say that he never thought of having two boats.It's just that he, who is emotionally introverted, can't say these words, "I, I..."
"You don't need to explain..." This was followed by one of Xu Wei's classic movements, turning around and pretending to be sad. "I know...I..." Before he finished speaking, he felt his face wet, and the warm touch disappeared after a pause of only two seconds.
"...I, thank you."
When Xu Wei came back to his senses, he only saw the back of Cao Yilin disappearing by the door.Can he say that this time is not counted... Depressed Xu Wei can't help but sigh, why is the distance to home so short, otherwise, maybe he can catch up with the person and do it all over again...
Hey……

Apart from the contestants, the media reporters surrounded the competition venue the most. For this kind of world-class event, they gathered more and more like ants who discovered maltose.All-round follow-up report.
Tietou stood beside Cao Yilin, looking at the people in the hall, mixed with various languages.
"This international competition is different. It's like the Olympic Games. I feel very nervous just standing here." Tietou saw so many people from different countries in reality for the first time, jittering.
Cao Yilin was also somewhat excited by the atmosphere of the competition.
"I said, where is your boss?" Wasn't he still there just now?
"I don't know." Cao Yilin looked around, but he didn't see the familiar figure, mainly because there were too many people.
At this time, the horn on the stage sounded, "Please be quiet, everyone. The competition is about to begin. All contestants, please find the corresponding position according to the number in your hand. Those who accompany the competition, please go to the rest area to wait." Come again.Each player is equipped with a headset for simultaneous interpretation.
Hearing the announcement, everyone began to look for their own seats to sit down.
"Then I'll wait for you over there." Tie Tou pointed to the rest area beside him.
"En." Cao Yilin nodded, then hung up his competition pass and walked into the contestant area.
"Xiao Gua, hurry up, we have to find a good location, otherwise we won't be able to take good photos for the editor-in-chief, and you will feel better when you go back." Zhang Ling entered the competition venue with a notebook and went against the current.
"Sister Zhang, I have to take good care of the camera. If it falls, I will be 'ravaged' by the editor-in-chief when I go back." Even if the camera is so expensive, he can't afford it.
"There's a good spot there, hurry up... ah..." Zhang Ling rushed too fast, and turned her head to talk to Xiao Gua, so she didn't see the person approaching, and bumped into that person directly.Fortunately, he was supported by the other party, otherwise wrestling would have been inevitable.
The other party asked concerned, "Are you okay?"
Zhang Ling just wanted to scold the Three Character Classic, but when she looked up, she saw three-dimensional facial features like Europeans and Americans, and her eyes were deep and full of Chinese mystery. Oh, shit, how could there be such a handsome man in reality.So the Tyrannosaurus rex quickly shrank into a human-shaped lady, and said softly, "It's okay."
Xiao Gua, who was following up, trembled when he heard these words, and almost shook the camera.
"Sorry." Although the opponent was at fault, Cao Yilin apologized politely, and then walked into the competition area.
Looking at the handsome back, Zhang Ling clasped her hands in front of her chest, looking like an adult nympho.
"Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang..." Seeing Zhang Ling covered in pink bubbles, Xiao Gua yelled a few times and patted her after there was no response.
"Why?" Zhang Ling, who was interrupted to admire the handsome man, turned her head and stared at Xiao Gua.
"No, it's okay." Xiao Gua slandered in his heart, treating him differently.
Gradually regaining her senses, Zhang Ling pointed at Cao Yilin, "That person, he entered the competition area, is he a contestant?"
"Just now I saw that he has a competition certificate on his chest, it should be..."
At this time, Zhang Ling had a good idea
"You, what are you talking about first?" Li Shuwei grabbed the doorknob, and if he didn't care about hospitality, he would have closed the door early in the morning.
"Okay." Zuo Yiyang no longer insisted. "It's like this. My wife is going to have a party, so I'm here to ask Mr. Cao for help."
"Help? Why do you ask him for help? Your wife is British, and Xiao Cao can only cook Chinese food." He can't even use chopsticks and wants to eat Chinese food.
"The theme of this party is Chinese style, so we need to cook Chinese food." Seeing what Li Shuwei wanted to say, Zuo Yiyang hurriedly interrupted, "I'm here to ask Mr. Cao, if you agree or not, at least I have to ask Cao Sir." As Zuo Yiyang walked in, Li Shuwei had no choice but to let the door open.
"Hey you……"
Zuo Yiyang came to the kitchen and greeted him, "Mr. Cao, good afternoon."
Cao Yilin turned around, "Hello..."
"I'm sorry to bother you, but there is something I need your help with." Zuo Yiyang lowered his posture and said sincerely.
"If you have something to say, just say it, if I can help, I will try my best..."
"Great, this matter is up to you." Zuo Yiyang said with a smile.
"Um, what's the matter?" Cao Yilin asked after wiping his hands with his apron.
"It's like this, my wife is going to have a Chinese-themed party at home, and the best Chinese food I know is you, so I would like to ask you for a favor. Remuneration is not a problem, the rest is yours We will be ready for you if you need it.”
"When is the party?"
"Xiao Cao..." Li Shuwei wanted to stop him.
Zuo Yiyang stepped in front of Li Shuwei to block him from continuing, "Next Saturday night."
Cao Yilin thought for a while that there was nothing to do next Saturday, so he agreed, "Okay."
Li Shuwei poked his head out from behind Zuo Yiyang, with a reproachful expression on his face, as if he was complaining about why he agreed.
"Thank you very much. By the way, the PARTY Mr. Richard will also come that day. I think it will be helpful to you." After finishing speaking, Zuo Yiyang smiled politely, and took another look at Li Shuwei before leaving.
Li Shuwei trembled all over, and ran to Cao Yilin's side. "No, I won't send it."
When the person left, Li Shuwei said excitedly, "Why did you agree to him?"
"Huh? I'm fine next Saturday..."
"Can I go shopping if I have nothing to do? Why did you agree to him?" Li Shuwei walked back and forth in front of Cao Yilin.
Cao Yilin followed his movements and turned his head around, "Are you worried about something? Don't worry, I will do well that day." Cao Yilin thought he was worried about himself.
"Who's worried about you?" He was worried about himself, and Li Shuwei shouted from the bottom of his heart.
In the evening, Cao Yilin brought the supper to Xu Wei's study.
Xu Wei stretched his waist, "It's time for supper again, that's great." When Cao Yilin walked in and put down the plate, Xu Wei stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, "Huh?" Cao Yilin struggled first, "After a while, Just hug for a while."
Listening to Xu Wei's tired voice, Cao Yilin gradually calmed down, and asked softly, "Are you tired?"
"Yeah, I have to finish the work at hand as early as possible, so that I can be with you all the way next month." Xu Wei put his head on Cao Yilin's shoulder and rubbed it.
"Anyway, the competition is in City A, so there's no need..." Cao Yilin persuaded.
"I want to be with you." Xu Wei said faintly, finally hugged him, the next step is to devour him little by little, how can he no longer stay by his side.
Every time Xu Wei said such words, Cao Yilin blushed like a monkey's ass. It feels... strange for a man to say this to a man.
"Ah, by the way, Mr. Zuo from next door came to the house today, please ask me to help him at his house next Saturday." Cao Yilin finally thought of changing the topic.
"Next Saturday? You agreed." It wasn't a question or an affirmative sentence, but he refused because he knew he didn't understand.
"Yeah, I had nothing to do that day anyway, so I agreed. He also said that someone named Charlie... would come, and Mr. Zuo also said that he would help me, but I don't know what help..."
"Charlie?" Xu Wei raised his head and asked.
"Seems to be."
"Will he really go?" Xu Wei asked hurriedly.
"Uh, Mr. Zuo said he would go." Seeing Xu Wei's face full of surprise, that person... who is it?
"Then you must go. I will go with you that day."
"what?!"
35: Mrs. Helen's Dinner
Seeing Xu Wei's appearance, Zuo Yiyang raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect Mr. Xu to be free again today? And... three hours earlier." Mrs. Helen had invited him several times before but failed to invite First Young Master Xu, Unexpectedly, it came this time.Thinking of this, he unconsciously glanced at Cao Yilin, because of him?
"Today's appointment is temporarily canceled. I came to visit unexpectedly. I hope I won't cause you any trouble." Xu Wei smiled slightly.
"OH, MYGOD, Xu, are you here?" Cao Yilin turned his head and hadn't seen who was coming, only to see a shiny pink figure suddenly pounce on Xu Wei beside him.
Mrs. Helen, who is about 40 years old and still has charm, hangs on Xu Wei enthusiastically. Although she is European, she speaks proficient Chinese. "Didn't it mean that I didn't have time? It came so suddenly, I didn't prepare well." While talking, touching, and doing her hair, fortunately, she had done her makeup in advance.Ah, I wonder if her makeup is too heavy today?
Xu Wei tried his best to maintain a smile, and signaled Zuo Yiyang with his eyes to pull his wife away quickly.
"Ma'am, this is Mr. Cao. He will prepare all the meals for today's party." Zuo Yiyang knows his master very well. Although he likes to take advantage of a little bit, he is occasionally lost by "beauty" A small meeting, but generally speaking, I will take the overall situation into consideration and treat people with courtesy.
Hearing Zuo Yiyang's introduction, Mrs. Helen withdrew her hands suddenly as if someone had tapped her acupuncture points, and turned her head with a dignified expression.Looking at Cao Yilin, he smiled kindly and said, "Mr. Cao, I will trouble you today."
Cao Yilin was taken aback by the speed of the "face-changing", "...you, you are welcome."
"Then I won't bother you for the time being." Immediately afterwards, Madam Helen's attention returned to Xu Wei, and she said with a bright smile, "Xu, let's go in first. It just so happens that I have something to ask you." Then she said involuntarily Pull Xu Wei and walk in.
"I……"
"I will take good care of Mr. Cao, please rest assured Mr. Xu." Zuo Yiyang looked at Xu Wei being dragged away by his wife with an expression of "you can go at ease".Seeing Cao Yilin's stunned look, he explained, "My wife is so warm to people, you will get used to it gradually. I'll take you to the kitchen first, this way please."
"Uh, oh..." Cao Yilin followed up, and couldn't help but look back... That lady's dress is really shiny, her whole body is covered in sequins.
"The chef at home suddenly asked for sick leave, so I may have to work hard for you today." Zuo Yiyang can be sure that Mary did it on purpose. After all, she has worked here for more than ten years, and now she has hired an outsider to do it. She will definitely have Dissatisfied, but she can't cook Chinese food...
"According to the materials you listed before, we are all ready, can you see what else is missing?"
Cao Yilin looked at the entire kitchen piled up with all kinds of materials, red, green, yellow... Is this going to be a seven-day banquet? This amount is too exaggerated...
Seeing Cao Yilin frown, Zuo Yiyang asked, "What, isn't it enough?"
"No! Enough!" Cao Yilin repeated these two words a little "shockingly", it is true that it is not enough for a month.
"not enough?"
"No, there are too many, too many..."
"That's good, don't be afraid of too much, be afraid of less."
"Then can I take some back?" Cao Yilin said, the key is that considering so many dishes, his family will definitely not be able to eat them before they spoil, so it's better for him to take some back to share than to waste.
"Bring... what?" It's not that Zuo Yiyang didn't hear clearly, it's just that he wasn't sure if what he heard was true.
"I mean, when the party is over, can I take back some untouched dishes?" Cao Yilin thought he didn't hear what he said, so he repeated it.
The corners of Zuo Yiyang's eyes twitched and he laughed twice, "...you can..."
"Thank you." This way you don't have to buy groceries tomorrow.
Said Cao Yilin began to prepare.
Frankly speaking, Zuo Yiyang was somewhat curious about Cao Yilin.Of course, he was curious about all the people who appeared around Li Shuwei. Seeing his skillful selection and chopping of vegetables, he said politely, "Do you need help?"
"Ah, oh, if it doesn't bother you, help me pick the coriander." Cao Yilin pointed to the side and said.
"...Uh..." His words of help were just for the occasion... that's all.
"Is there a problem? Ah..." Looking at Zuo Yiyang's troubled face, "You don't know, do you? It's actually very simple, just take off the dry yellow leaves and pinch off the roots. Let me see you Nails, well, it’s okay, then you don’t need to borrow tools, it’s faster. Just choose the ones you want and put them in this vegetable basket, please.”
Looking at the vegetable basket stuffed in his hand, Zuo Yiyang was speechless, doesn't this person know what polite words are?Zuo Yiyang looked down at the basket in his hand, it was obviously...
Half an hour has passed...
Zuo Yiyang thought he had completed the "task" efficiently and with good quality. "I'm done, how is it?"
Cao Yilin took the time to look back, bit his lower lip, "You are the first to do it?"
"It's sort of..." Although the butler school has cooking classes, his main focus is not there.
"Okay." Cao Yilin didn't want to hit him, "Um, aren't you going to receive guests?"
Faced with Cao Yilin's lame change of subject, Zuo Yiyang still walked down his steps, pretending to check his watch, "Well, it's almost time. Are you sure you can go here alone?"
Cao Yilin said without turning his head, "No problem." When he was part-time job before, he had done more work than this, and unless the kitchen is often cooperated with or more clever people do it together, otherwise one more person may be a problem. Add to the chaos.
"Okay, then tell me what you need, I will basically be at the entrance of the front hall." Seeing Cao Yilin nodding, Zuo Yiyang walked out of the kitchen.
In the living room, I happened to meet Xu Wei who came down from upstairs, and smiled, "Mr. Xu."
"Mrs. Helen is looking for you." Xu Wei said.
"Okay, thank you." Zuo Yiyang was about to go upstairs.
"correct……"
Zuo Yiyang turned around, "Is there anything else Mr. Xu can do?"
"Where is the kitchen?"
"Go straight and turn left and then right and you will see it."
Xu Wei nodded, "See you later."
"see you later."
"Do you want me to call Li Shuwei to help?" Xu Wei folded his hands on his chest, he liked to see him busy in the kitchen.It's just that the three roaring boilers and the vegetables that Cao Yilin kept stirring made him frown slightly, and Xu Wei didn't make a sound until he took out the vegetables.
Just as Cao Yilin put the pot into the sink, when he heard the sound, he turned around and found Xu Wei standing by the door at some point, "Uh, it's okay, no more."
"But you seem to need a few more hands." Xu Wei looked at those boilers, not thinking that his "okay" was really "okay".
Cao Yilin turned his head and glanced, "Actually, it looks like it's very busy, but everything is going on in an orderly manner. If I need help, I will tell you."
Xu Wei stepped forward and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the sweat from Cao Yilin's forehead and temples. "Then I'll stay and help you."
Cao Yilin is still getting used to these intimate actions, maybe the distance is too close, maybe it's really too hot, his face is slightly red, and he stammered a little, "No, no, I can really do it."
"I want to stay and help you."
Cao Yilin didn't understand why every time Xu Wei said something that sounded like "sweet words", his expression was always warm, as if the words didn't come from his mouth.And his face also changed from reddish to deep red.
Xu Wei is very happy that Cao Yilin is no longer stiff from his touch, which is a great improvement for the relationship between the two of them.
"Where are you going to assign me?" Xu Wei couldn't help reminding that it was less than an hour before the time for dinner.
"Oh, that, wash that for me first, and put it here." Cao Yilin shook off the daze caused by the heat just now, and picked up the plate on the side and handed it to Xu Wei.
"By the way..." He opened his briefcase and took out a spare apron, "Put this on so as not to get your clothes dirty."
Xu Wei washed his hands and straightened his arms, and Cao Yilin directly helped him tie them around his back. "alright."
"kindness."
"That needs to be washed..."
"Don't peel the skin so thickly, it will almost be peeled off by you..."
"Don't lift it, this will be covered for a while..."
In the following time, only Cao Yilin kept reminding him to correct Xu Wei's operation.
At the end of the busy day, compared to Xu Wei's uncontrollable excitement, Cao Yilin sat slumped on the side, couldn't help thinking, it was really more tiring than working alone, and the whole thing was just a waste of help...
36: Lady Helen's Dinner (2)
"It's finally done." Although there was no substantial contribution, Xu Wei still said with emotion.Looking at the table full of dishes, an indescribable sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously.
"Yes." Cao Yilin leaned on the table and let out a sigh of relief. This was the most exhausting cooking he had ever done. .
Looking at Cao Yilin's exhausted face, "Next time, get a few more people to help." Xu Wei suggested that if he wasn't here, he would be even more tired.
He could just lie down with a few more people, but just as Cao Yilin was about to refuse, Zuo Yiyang just came in.
"Already done... ready?" He was taken aback by Xu Wei's "house husband" appearance.
"There are still two dishes stewing in the pot, you can serve these cold dishes first." Xu Wei pointed to some dishes in front of him.
Zuo Yiyang quickly recovered his "calmness", "Okay...then I will inform everyone." Before leaving, he gave Xu Wei a strange look
For Zuo Yiyang's "fuss", Xu Wei smiled indifferently.
"Take off the apron." Cao Yilin pointed in front of him.
Xu Wei looked at himself, "Don't you think this is pretty good?" He said, and put on a pose that he thought was very elegant.
Cao Yilin looked at the mud stains, tomato juice, oil stains on the apron in front of Xu Wei... It was really hard for him to nod.
"Uh... If you don't go out again, will there be no place for you?"
"The location is ready." In other words, don't worry about it.
Seeing that Xu Wei was still waiting for his answer, Cao Yilin could only nod against his will.
"Where is it good?" He found that Cao Yilin didn't dare to look him in the eyes every time he told a lie.
"...the apron." Seeing Xu Wei getting closer and closer, Cao Yilin held back for a while and popped out two words.
"What's so good about the apron?" He wondered what else he could "break off".
"Colorful...very, very good."
"Better than me?"
"Cough..." A sudden cough interrupted the closeness between the two.
Xu Wei let go of Cao Yilin and turned to look at "Cheng Yaojin".
Zuo Yiyang looked at him innocently, but he didn't want to disturb them if he could.It's just that everyone is already seated and waiting for the food to be served. "You guys bring the dishes here first, and these cold dishes first." After explaining to the temporary workers behind him, he said to Xu Wei, "The dinner party has already begun, Mr. Xu please!"
Without the slightest embarrassment of being discovered, Xu Wei took off his apron slowly and said to Cao Yilin, "I'm going to the restaurant first."
Cao Yilin nodded with his face flushed, not daring to look at Zuo Yiyang and the others.
"Xu, come and sit here." Seeing Xu Wei, Madam Helen directly beckoned him to sit next to her.
At this time, plates of delicious dishes have been served one after another.
Mrs. Helen is sitting in the first seat as the host. On the left is Xu Wei who just sat down, and on the right is a foreigner in his 50s, with a little silver in his brown hair, a chubby figure and a slightly raised mouth. , giving people a kind and kind feeling.
Because most of the people here are Westerners, Mrs. Helen introduced Xu Wei to everyone directly in English, and explained that all the Chinese dishes tonight are made by Mr. Cao, the chef of Xu Wei's family.
"It's my honor to be able to help Madam." This sentence made Madam Helen "giggle".
Xu Wei said politely to the others again, "I hope the food tonight can satisfy everyone's appetite."
Then Mrs. Helen invited everyone to enjoy the delicious food together, and said to Charlie, "Mr. Charlie, you have to try the dishes tonight. I know you prefer Chinese food, and you are also an expert in this field, so I specially found a very good one." Chinese chefs have prepared these, and of course you need to explain the mysteries of this Chinese cuisine to those of us who don’t understand.”
"Madam, you're welcome. Chinese food can't be explained in one sentence or two, but it can be summed up with an idiom in Chinese, that is 'broad and profound'. The recipes are very particular and varied. I have to say, just eat The Chinese are very happy in this area. Is it Mr. Xu?" Charlie asked Xu Wei with a smile.
"I don't deny that." Xu Wei nodded in agreement. "Tonight's dishes are all traditional and classic home-cooked dishes in China, and I hope everyone can get used to eating them."
"Okay, okay, the dishes are all on the table, so don't be dazed, let's talk while eating." Mrs. Helen first picked up the chopsticks and looked in front of her. Some kind of meat and... is that skin?
"What is this?" Madam Helen picked up a piece and put it into her bowl, asking curiously, she had never seen this thing before.
Xu Wei first looked at Mr. Charlie, and saw that he was silent, so he introduced it to Mrs. Helen, "This is crystal pigskin jelly."
"Pig skin jelly?" After hearing the name, Mrs. Helen regretted it. This pig skin...is used for cooking.
"Ma'am, this pigskin is a good thing for women." Xu Wei explained.
"why?"
"Pig skin is rich in collagen. I believe everyone knows that collagen is good for women's skin, so many women in China like it. This is what Xiao Cao specially prepared for the ladies here. Of course, men also eat it. After all, beauty is not a woman's patent now." It can be seen that Madam still has a little hesitation.
"This dish can't help but beautify the skin, and the taste is very good. If it's not delicious, I won't mind spitting it out."
Madam Helen slowly picked it up and put it into her mouth out of curiosity. Originally, she thought that the pigskin would be hard and hard to bite, but unexpectedly, it would be smooth and smooth.And the surrounding transparent ones seem to be some kind of soup, "Well, it's really delicious."
With Mrs. Helen's affirmation, everyone also tried and nodded appreciatively.Dare to taste the seemingly strange dishes that came later.
During the whole dinner, everyone gave admiration frequently, and only Mr. Charlie didn't say a word. When the last dish was served, everyone's stomachs were slightly protruding, and they leaned on the seats with satisfied faces, following the table manners. Forget it.
"Mrs. Helen, I have an unkind request." Charlie picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Mr. Charlie is polite, please say something."
"Can you let us meet the chef who serves these delicacies tonight?" Charlie De is known as the person who has eaten Chinese cuisine and has the most research on Chinese cuisine. Before that, he traveled all over China and discovered a lot of delicacies. And met a group of friends who love food or cook food. In Charlie's view, every chef has his own "taste". When cooking the same dish, different people will have different tastes, but he I have never tasted this kind of taste, a kind of peaceful but maximum performance of the advantages of various materials, harmonious
37: Lady Helen's Dinner (3)
Charlie De sighed in his heart, his eyes watching.
Even Cao Yilin, who is as dull as Cao Yilin, can feel this eager gaze.
"Are you married?" Seeing Cao Yilin staring at him, Charlie put on a smile and suddenly asked in fluent Chinese.
Cao Yilin pointed to himself, did he ask him?
"It's you, are you married?" Charlie repeated.
"Not yet..." I don't know if it was his illusion, but the creases on the face of this foreign old man who had twisted his neck for 2 minutes and was suspected of being sprained seemed to deepen two more.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Is it the third daughter who is more quiet or the fourth daughter who is more aggressive?Charlie was struggling in his heart, what type does he like?Let's meet them all and see which one he likes.If poaching can't be taken away, it would be best to take it home and be a son-in-law... Charlie laughed "giggle, giggle" in his heart.
"...No." Xu Wei is a man, at most he can be regarded as a boyfriend, not a girlfriend.Cao Yilin analyzed it, shook his head and said.
"I have two women who are also chefs. Find a time to introduce you to each other and learn from each other."
The meaning of these words is quite clear, Xu Wei sees that the other party is an old man, following the traditional virtues of respecting the old and caring for the young in China, he resisted throwing him out.In front of his face, he wanted to introduce a woman to his people.
"Um, if given the chance."
"It just so happens that they are going to come to City A next month. We'll get in touch when the time comes. Is it convenient to give me a call?"
"I haven't remembered my number, sorry." Cao Yilin really didn't remember his number.
"Huh?" Charlie didn't expect to touch a soft nail.
Although he knew that Cao Yilin was unintentional, Xu Wei still couldn't help laughing in his heart. "Yilin just bought a mobile phone, so he is not familiar with his number. If Mr. Charlie wants to find him, he can call my home directly, or I don't mind sending messages for you. This is my business card." Xu Weicong He took out a business card case from his pocket, took out a card and handed it over.
"Alright." Charlie accepted it and put it on.
It's not that Xu Wei is willing to "pull" this line, it's just that Charlie De, as the judge of the preliminary competition of the AC competition, can't let him face.
He is talking about what to be afraid of with him in charge.
"It seems that Mr. Charlie is very satisfied with Mr. Cao." Mrs. Helen said jokingly.
Charlie laughed, "That's right. Young people nowadays are very difficult."
Leaving Mrs. Helen's house, Charlie couldn't wait to call his old friend as soon as he got in the car.
"Old Huang, you don't know what I ate today."
Lao Huang, who was watching TV on the other end, often received calls from this old foreign friend so "suddenly", he must have discovered something delicious again, or met a good chef, so he said cooperatively, "You what did you eat?"
"Today I ate Longjing shrimp, lion head, gourd duck, duck wrapped fish..."
"Eating so much didn't support you." Hearing what he said, Lao Huang knew that Charlie De was so excited and wanted to share with him that the focus was not on the dishes, but on the people who cook them.However, the eight major cuisines he just mentioned are basically available. "Where are you now?"
"In the car."
"I mean, are you in City A?" Lao Huang couldn't help but rolled his eyes on the phone.
"Yes. Oh, don't change the subject. I accepted Mrs. Helen's invitation today. She invited a very powerful chef. She was only in her early twenties. The dishes she cooked were very, very delicious. It's a pity that you are not here. gone."
Mrs. Helen, in City A, could it be...
"If you have a chance, you must try the dish made by that person. The taste is really..." Charlie recalled the deliciousness just now in his mind.
"Is the chef's surname Cao?" Lao Huang asked hurriedly.
"Huh? How do you know? You know it. It's too embarrassing, you even told me before..." Charlie said dissatisfied.
"I just found out about it two weeks ago. You were not in City A at that time." Then it's no wonder that it made Charlie so excited.
"Oh. But that kid is amazing, right?"
"Yeah." Thinking of the child cooking a full banquet in front of him...
"I really want to eat it again." If I can be kidnapped and be my son-in-law, and I can eat it every day... the world will be perfect.
“There will be a chance next month”
"what?"
"He participated in the AC competition, and you are the judge." What a chance.
"real."
"kindness."
"Old Huang..."
"Huh?" Hearing Charlie's sudden serious voice, Lao Huang replied hesitantly.
"Seeing Cao Yilin and your kid, I am looking forward to this year's AC competition."
"En." So?Based on his understanding of him, there should be a follow-up to this statement.
"So...you have to pack the dishes for the final and leave them to me."
"..." "Pa" Lao Huang paused for three seconds and hung up the phone.Who would do such a shameful thing.
"Hello? Hello?" He was followed by a "beep..." sound.
"...Even if you don't agree, just say good night to me, and then hang up on me. Isn't China a country of etiquette..." The driver is very used to the boss's random thoughts. He glanced at the time and started counting. How long can it last.
Xu Wei and Cao Yilin walked home side by side in the dark, "Who is that foreigner?" This was what Cao Yilin wanted to ask most at night.
"He is the judge of the preliminary round of the AC competition. However, it seems that he is quite 'satisfied' with you." Xu Wei emphasized the word "satisfied" and introduced his daughter to him.
Why didn't he respond? As soon as he turned his face, he saw Cao Yilin stopped behind, with a frightened expression on his face, "What's wrong?"
"Huh? He, he, he is the judge?" Cao Yilin's ears were closed when he received the word "judgment", and only these two words were circling in his mind.
"Yes."
"Then, the dishes I just had..."
"He is very satisfied."
"Oh..." Cao Yilin heaved a sigh of relief.
Xu Wei rubbed his head, "Have some confidence in yourself, you must know that our family can only eat the food you cooked, Master Mao lost to you, Mr. Huang also praised your cooking skills, Mr. Charlie is so satisfied that he can't wait to take you home as a new son-in-law. It's not a random person to pick anyone out at random, don't you still doubt yourself? "
"Actually, it's a competition, you can think of him as making delicious food for other people. Think about your mood when you cook for us. It's the same. Would you still be nervous?" Just as he was talking, Xu Wei Suddenly, Cao Yilin looked at him without blinking, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"...No." Cao Yilin withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward with a smile on his lips.He was right, the purpose of participating in the competition was to compete and learn from other people.Winning is the highest affirmation of his culinary skills, and losing can also see and learn from other more powerful people.Thinking about it this way is indeed a lot easier.
Seeing the change in Cao Yilin's mood, Xu Wei raised his eyebrows and pulled him back, "You feel better, how can you thank me?"
"……thanks……"
"Send me with a thank you?"
"How can I thank you?" Cao Yilin "asked for advice humbly".
"Kiss here." Xu Wei pointed to his cheek.
"Huh?" Cao Yilin's eyes widened.
"We've been dating for a long time, and I haven't seen you take the initiative once. It's like I'm forcing you. And when Mr. Charlie asked you if you have a girlfriend, you should just tell him that you have a boyfriend. Let’s talk again when we have a chance, don’t you want to be in two boats…” Although every time you can only win Cao Yilin’s intolerance by pretending to be wronged, it’s shameful, but it’s very practical.
Cao Yilin kept shaking his head, he wanted to say that it was not forced, he wanted to say that he never thought of having two boats.It's just that he, who is emotionally introverted, can't say these words, "I, I..."
"You don't need to explain..." This was followed by one of Xu Wei's classic movements, turning around and pretending to be sad. "I know...I..." Before he finished speaking, he felt his face wet, and the warm touch disappeared after a pause of only two seconds.
"...I, thank you."
When Xu Wei came back to his senses, he only saw the back of Cao Yilin disappearing by the door.Can he say that this time is not counted... Depressed Xu Wei can't help but sigh, why is the distance to home so short, otherwise, maybe he can catch up with the person and do it all over again...
Hey……

Apart from the contestants, the media reporters surrounded the competition venue the most. For this kind of world-class event, they gathered more and more like ants who discovered maltose.All-round follow-up report.
Tietou stood beside Cao Yilin, looking at the people in the hall, mixed with various languages.
"This international competition is different. It's like the Olympic Games. I feel very nervous just standing here." Tietou saw so many people from different countries in reality for the first time, jittering.
Cao Yilin was also somewhat excited by the atmosphere of the competition.
"I said, where is your boss?" Wasn't he still there just now?
"I don't know." Cao Yilin looked around, but he didn't see the familiar figure, mainly because there were too many people.
At this time, the horn on the stage sounded, "Please be quiet, everyone. The competition is about to begin. All contestants, please find the corresponding position according to the number in your hand. Those who accompany the competition, please go to the rest area to wait." Come again.Each player is equipped with a headset for simultaneous interpretation.
Hearing the announcement, everyone began to look for their own seats to sit down.
"Then I'll wait for you over there." Tie Tou pointed to the rest area beside him.
"En." Cao Yilin nodded, then hung up his competition pass and walked into the contestant area.
"Xiao Gua, hurry up, we have to find a good location, otherwise we won't be able to take good photos for the editor-in-chief, and you will feel better when you go back." Zhang Ling entered the competition venue with a notebook and went against the current.
"Sister Zhang, I have to take good care of the camera. If it falls, I will be 'ravaged' by the editor-in-chief when I go back." Even if the camera is so expensive, he can't afford it.
"There's a good spot there, hurry up... ah..." Zhang Ling rushed too fast, and turned her head to talk to Xiao Gua, so she didn't see the person approaching, and bumped into that person directly.Fortunately, he was supported by the other party, otherwise wrestling would have been inevitable.
The other party asked concerned, "Are you okay?"
Zhang Ling just wanted to scold the Three Character Classic, but when she looked up, she saw three-dimensional facial features like Europeans and Americans, and her eyes were deep and full of Chinese mystery. Oh, shit, how could there be such a handsome man in reality.So the Tyrannosaurus rex quickly shrank into a human-shaped lady, and said softly, "It's okay."
Xiao Gua, who was following up, trembled when he heard these words, and almost shook the camera.
"Sorry." Although the opponent was at fault, Cao Yilin apologized politely, and then walked into the competition area.
Looking at the handsome back, Zhang Ling clasped her hands in front of her chest, looking like an adult nympho.
"Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang..." Seeing Zhang Ling covered in pink bubbles, Xiao Gua yelled a few times and patted her after there was no response.
"Why?" Zhang Ling, who was interrupted to admire the handsome man, turned her head and stared at Xiao Gua.
"No, it's okay." Xiao Gua slandered in his heart, treating him differently.
Gradually regaining her senses, Zhang Ling pointed at Cao Yilin, "That person, he entered the competition area, is he a contestant?"
"Just now I saw that he has a competition certificate on his chest, it should be..."
At this time, Zhang Ling had a good idea
