Chapter 422: Enthusiasm of The Young

Translator: Xiong_Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth

“The producer and I have decided to shoot a series . Since it’s a documentary, 20 minutes are not long enough . ” The chief editor patted the shoulder of Presenter Lu smilingly and continued saying .

“You did great in the shoot this time . I will give the series to you to do . While the iron is still hot, we will work harder to make it surpass the first two positions . ” The chief editor was fairly ambitious .

The program that had obtained the highest audience rating on their TV station was a very famous program concerning law and the presenter was also an influential leading light . Presenter Lu didn’t dare to think of surpassing him .

“But the shooting of Chen’s Restaurant last time is halfway done . ” Presenter Lu said, not willing to give up .

What a joke! When they interviewed Yuan Zhou last time, he didn’t say a single word nor did he even make a sound all along . It’s really an awkward experience .

“Never mind . Just postpone it until we finish the documentary . ” The chief editor waved his hand and said indifferently .

“But . . . “

“I have faith in you . “

“But . . . “

“Presenter Lu, this important task is given to you now . “

“But . . . “

“By the way, remember that you must communicate with that chef . Although he didn’t say anything in this episode and it wasn’t bad either, you still have to pay attention to mutual communication . “

Having been interrupted for three times continuously, Presenter Lu had nothing to say now .

The chief editor lowered his head and sorted the documents for a while . When he raised his head, he couldn’t help asking, “Um? Presenter Lu, do you still have something to tell me?”

“No, I don’t . . . I’m going to work, chief editor . Presenter Lu said helplessly .

“Go ahead . Remember don’t give yourself too much pressure . ” The chief editor specially instructed .

” . . . ” Presenter Lu nodded his head .

Then, he left silently .

After he returned to his own seat, Presenter Lu looked at the audience rating and couldn’t help sighing, “It’s really painful, yet somewhat happy . “

Naturally, Yuan Zhou had no idea about the problems of Presenter Lu . He was still studying the etiquette of the western-style food . After all, he had obtained it for quite a long time and thus, it was about time to reveal it . However, Yuan Zhou was not lacking in patience at all now .

It was 3:00 p . m . and the sunshine was just right . It was a rare occurrence where Yuan Zhou wasn’t sculpting this time, but was just sitting at the door of his restaurant .

“The sunshine is so nice today, isn’t it?” His neighbor Boss Tong said smilingly to Yuan Zhou while squinting at him .

“It’s indeed nice . Very comfortable . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“Little Yuan, listen to me . You really should find a girlfriend . ” At her age, Boss Tong naturally cared more about Yuan Zhou’s marriage .

“Yes . I’m trying . ” Whenever he spoke of this subject, Yuan Zhou always nodded his head seriously .

“It’s good that you realize this problem . I see many girls coming and going in your restaurant . You’d better be hurry . ” Boss Tong said smilingly .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

While Yuan Zhou was chatting with his old neighbor and enjoying the warm sunshine on this side, Wu Hong and his aunt nevertheless weren’t so harmonious .

“Wu Hong, let me tell you . That chef won’t take anybody as his disciple . Don’t be silly . ” It was the beautiful girl . However, this beautiful girl was losing her temper at the moment with a flush on her pretty face .

“Aunt, why do you still worry about this problem now that you have come here with me?” Wu Hong asked with puzzlement .

“Do you think I want to be here? I’m just worried about you . ” The beautiful girl knitted her brows and asked quite helplessly .

“Even if he’s reluctant to take disciples, I am able to make him do so . I have a lot of patience . ” Wu Hong said with a resolute gaze .

“You have promised me to go back with me if you fail . ” This time, the beautiful girl said with an anxious tone .

The two people debating were Wu Hong and his aunt who came to Chengdu after they watched the program of “Folk Talent” .

Wu Hong just graduated from the university this year . His dream was to study culinary skills and become a Michelin three-star chef . His aunt, named Wu Qian, was his senior based on generation, but actually she was only one year older than him .

Due to some family reasons, his aunt really did take him as the younger generation and hence cared about him a lot . Except for this matter of taking a master, Wu Hong had always respected her .

Of course, his aunt loved him very much . Otherwise, she wouldn’t come after him to Chengdu from such a distant place just because of Wu Hong’s obstinacy .

“I know . But if I can manage it, that will be my capabilities . ” Wu Hong said confidently .

“I had searched for his information before we came . Even a master-level person failed in asking him to be his teacher, let alone you . ” Wu Qian snorted and said loudly .

“I’m different from him . I’m smarter . ” Wu Hong said persistently .

“I won’t say anything more with you . The restaurant is right in front of you . ” Seeing Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was right in front of them, she didn’t debate with him anymore .

“Hoo . . . ” Wu Hong took a deep breath when he saw Yuan Zhou sitting at the door leisurely .

“Don’t go if you are afraid . ” Wu Qian said in a low voice .

She knew much about this nephew of hers . He talked loudly but seldom actually acted . After all, the teacher he was going to ask for guidance previously didn’t answer him at all . At that time, he could only give up .

To be frank, Wu Qian felt this nephew had just read too many novels . He could straightforwardly pay and study the culinary arts . Why would he go take others as his teacher? However, Wu Hong insisted on his own opinion that a teacher mattered a lot . And on that point, no one could persuade him .

“Hello, Yuan Zhou . I’m Wu Hong . I witnessed your sculpting skills on the program ‘Folk Talent’ . It was awesome! It simply reaches the acme of perfection and displays superlative craftsmanship . So I want to request to be your disciple . ” Wu Hong went up and introduced himself and brought out his purpose bluntly .

And he didn’t give Yuan Zhou a single opportunity to speak before he brought it all out .

“Hello . But I don’t intend to take anybody as my disciple . ” Yuan Zhou sat up straight and listened to Wu Hong silently . Only after Wu Hong finished did he say earnestly .

Looking at Wu Hong’s fervent expression and nervous posture of clenching his fist, Yuan Zhou naturally responded seriously .

“I’m obedient . Besides, I know you are unable to do all the work in your restaurant alone . I can do any work including carrying dishes, sweeping the ground and washing the bowls . ” Wu Hong promoted himself eagerly .

At that time, Yuan Zhou stood up and looked into the distance . Then, he naturally saw Wu Qian who paid close attention to them .

With Yuan Zhou’s sharp ears, he clearly heard their conversations about seeking him to be Wu Hong’s teacher just now, but Yuan Zhou felt he was indeed unable to teach a disciple . Even when Wu Hai made the request, he treated it as an exchange of skills rather than teaching him directly .

Considering Wu Hai’s destructive power to the kitchen, Yuan Zhou dared not to eat it .

After all, the dish of the Rainbow Beef Brisket was still lingering in his mind . Yuan Zhou totally didn’t want to eat pigments .

“I’m sorry, but I don’t need any manpower to do those work . Besides, some of the work is in the charge of my staff . Go back with your aunt . ” Yuan Zhou said lightly .

“I can work for you for free . I don’t require any salary . ” Wu Hong felt no one would refuse such a condition .

He was merely a free helper .

“Thank you, but I don’t need it . ” Yuan Zhou refused him again earnestly .

“Why won’t you take me?” Wu Hong asked straightforwardly .

Perhaps because Yuan Zhou didn’t have the arrogance that other chefs usually had, Wu Hong became confident and thus dared to ask directly .

Yuan Zhou indeed had a good temperament . If other chefs were stopped and asked inexplicably to take a disciple, even the good-tempered one would turn around and leave without hesitation .

Some bad-tempered chef might scold him directly . Contrarily, Yuan Zhou refused him in a quite serious manner .

“Because I don’t intend to take disciples . ” Yuan Zhou still refused with the reason that he had told Master Cheng .

“Yuan Zhou, I will never leave until you agree . ” Wu Hong suddenly said that .

“No need to waste your time . Just go back . ” Yuan Zhou finally knitted his brows and said that .

However, Wu Hong just stood at the door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant and looked at Yuan Zhou perversely .

“My goodness! He is really a persistent young guy . ” Boss Tong muttered to himself with a smile .

However, Yuan Zhou didn’t answer him at all . He directly moved the chair back into his restaurant and started to prepare the ingredients required for the dinner .

“You failed, so go back with me . ” Seeing Yuan Zhou go back, Wu Qian went up and said to his nephew .

“No . I will wait here . ” Wu Hong said decisively .

“But you have promised me . ” Wu Qian became flustered and exasperated .
