Food: The super chef just wants to set up a stall leisurely

Chapter 409 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

"Let's go." The boy next to her put away his phone and grabbed the girl's arm to interrupt her.

Zhao Xiaojing glanced at the boy's face in surprise.

So young and handsome! This face must be only 20 years old! He is also a chef participating in the competition?

What's the Jinyuan Restaurant? She wants to hear more.

However, this girl does look more mature, about eight or nine years older than the boy, and they look somewhat similar. They are indeed siblings.

"Why are you leaving? Where are you going to stay?... Oh, forget it. Why make things difficult for others? You can't make a room appear out of thin air by asking others. It's all my fault. I insisted on sending you there and stopped you from booking a room. Now you are in trouble. I was originally worried that the hotel conditions were not good, so I said I would wait and book it. Now it seems that I should have booked it first regardless of the conditions. Isn't this delaying your competition? Oh, blame me!"

After being interrupted by her brother, the sister looked remorseful and followed her brother, muttering to herself, while her brother walked in front without saying a word.

Seeing that she couldn't hear any key information, Zhao Xiaojing quickened her pace and walked out. Unexpectedly, the two people behind her also quickened their pace, so Zhao Xiaojing overheard what they said.

"Why don't you sit here for a while while I check out some other hotels. I'll call you when I've booked one. You've been on the bus for so long, and you have a game tomorrow, so you need to get some rest."

"I have just booked a room for you as well. Have a good rest before leaving tomorrow." The younger brother finally replied.

"Why did you order it for me? You have to go back immediately after I send you off! What will happen to the restaurant business if we both leave? Return it immediately!" My sister got anxious when she heard that.

"What's wrong with taking a night off? If they had to ask you to come and see me off, they should have taken care of the restaurant business themselves. If they don't let you take over, what business do you care about?"

"Hey, I said I would withdraw, don't be so willful! You don't go out much, they are worried about you, and besides, I want to send you off myself!"

"Why should they let me come to the competition if they are worried about me? You should have come. You started learning cooking much earlier than me. This should be an honor for you! Why should they let me come at just one word? Why do they have to let me take over? You have given up so much. What's the big deal about just taking a night's rest? They treat you like this. Why do you have to worry about the restaurant business?" The younger brother's voice became louder, one sentence after another, his tone full of resentment.

So he is the successor of the restaurant. It sounds like he is from a family of chefs. Both siblings studied cooking. Zhao Xiaojing was secretly analyzing in the front.

"Okay, okay, I know you're standing up for me, but I don't agree. In our generation, only you and I are willing to inherit this legacy. We are siblings, so what's the difference between yours and mine? Although I have more experience than you, you have the strongest talent, and that is undeniable. Letting you come out to compete while I take charge of the restaurant is the best arrangement for the restaurant, and I have no objection." Seeing her brother's dissatisfaction, the sister softened her voice and comforted him.

"Restaurant, restaurant! You think about the restaurant all the time, but you've done so much for the restaurant, and yet you still just let me take over! Sister, this is not fair!"

"What is fair and what is unfair? Although I am five years older than you and started five years earlier than you, I still can't learn how to cook soft-shelled long fish like my uncle! But you are different. You can cook soft-shelled long fish and boiled dried shredded vegetables so well. You learn things quickly, have a strong understanding, and you are still young, with unlimited possibilities. For me, handing the restaurant over to you is the fairest thing! I am very happy that you can take over, and the restaurant can be better passed on in your hands!"

Soft-shelled eel. Zhao Xiaojing was cheered up.

Huaiyang cuisine is mostly high-end dishes, and soft-shelled eel is the most famous dish in Huaiyang cuisine. It is also a state banquet-level dish, and the restaurant that cooks this dish is definitely not an ordinary restaurant.

It seems that this competition is truly full of hidden talents. Who would have thought that such a young brother is the successor of a restaurant and can even cook a famous state banquet dish like soft-shelled eel?

"That's true, but the successor doesn't necessarily have to be the best cook, right? Dad's cooking skills are not as good as uncle's, so why can he be the successor? What era is this? Why are you still favoring boys over girls?" The younger brother was still resentful.

"That being said, they spared no effort to teach me my cooking skills. They didn't hide anything, right? We have always had female chefs in our restaurant, and their salaries are no worse than those of male chefs. This is much better than those families that pass down the skills to males but not females, and male workers are paid twice as much as female workers, right? After all, our family has been passed down for so many generations, and it is inevitable to be feudal and traditional. If you think it is unfair, you can change it in your hands in the future."

The elder sister continued to comfort him with a smile, and it sounded like she really had no complaints. However, the younger brother fell silent again after such persuasion.

"Okay, if you really think it's unfair, just teach me the dishes that dad and uncle taught me a few more times in private. Every time they teach me, I find it difficult and they always scold me." Seeing that her brother didn't say anything, the sister changed her tone. Zhao Xiaojing inexplicably felt that her brother was being coquettish.

"Yeah." My brother responded, sounding a little reluctant.

"Why don't you cancel my room?"

"No retreat."

"Look, this time..."

The siblings behind her started a new round of discussion. Zhao Xiaojing walked along the same route into the subway station. The siblings probably also wanted to take the subway, so they followed her.

Just as Zhao Xiaojing was listening to her sister's long speech of persuasion again, her subway arrived at the station.

The siblings discussed that they were going to take a subway in the opposite direction of hers, so Zhao Xiaojing had to get on the train with regret. After getting on the train, she stood in front of the door and looked at the siblings again.

Looking so closely, the sister's face is actually quite young. She does look like she is five years older, but her clothes are a little mature, so Zhao Xiaojing thought she was almost thirty years old at first.

The sister was still trying to persuade her with gestures, but the brother turned his head away without saying a word and glanced at Zhao Xiaojing through the car door glass.

There was impatience, helplessness, hesitation and grievance in his eyes.

Zhao Xiaojing and her brother looked at each other from a distance and smiled habitually. Before her brother could react, the subway had already left at a high speed.

Although Zhao Xiaojing didn't hear the last conversation, from that glance, she felt that her brother would eventually change his mind and would most likely cancel the room, just like he came to participate in the competition and just like he would eventually have to take over the restaurant.

Oh, the restaurant.

Zhao Xiaojing immediately lowered her head and looked up whether it was Jinyuan Restaurant or Jinyuan Restaurant that she had just heard about, attempting to continue the gossip.

It turned out that she either heard it wrong or typed the words incorrectly, and she couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
