Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Su Luo put some common seasonings into the pot and added some water. When the soup was boiling, she squeezed two lime juice into it and stirred it evenly. Su Luo’s experience told her this should be enough.
Su Luo tried the taste and felt that it was ready to be served. She raised her eyebrows to the head chef and said, “I’m done. Have a taste.”
The head chef and the other chefs who were watching just now didn’t believe her at all; they all thought that Su Luo must be joking.
“Miss Su, we have no time to play. Why don’t we postpone the dinner a little bit? We’ll start preparing immediately. Half an hour should be enough”
The head chef didn’t believe that a young woman like her could have such talents. If he couldn’t do it, how could Su Luo do it simply by adding some common ingredients?
Su Luo handed the spoon directly to the head chef and insisted, “Try it first.”
The head chef couldn’t refuse any more so he took the spoon and took a sip of the soup.
Immediately, his eyes widened, and his face was full of surprise.
Then he took another sip of the soup, chewed carefully in his mouth, and tasted it, nodding as he ate.
Everyone looked at each other, waiting for the head chef to say something. Was the taste delicious or unpalatable?
“How is it? The flavor is now right, what do you think?”
Su Luo smiled confidently as if she had already known the outcome.
The head chef gave her a thumbs up with a look of admiration, “It’s not just right, it’s even richer than the original flavor! The freshness of each ingredient collided and interweaved. The sour, sweet, and fresh taste all exploded on the taste buds. The fragrance of the limes you added last filled the mouth, making the aftertaste unforgettable.”
Everyone looked at Su Luo in surprise. They had been working for the head chef for a long time, and this was the first time they had heard him give such a high praise for someone.
They all thought that perhaps because of Su Luo’s status, the chef did not want to offend her, so he did it only to please her?
But without the chef’s order, none of them dared to move.
The young man was the chef in charge of this dish. He took a sip silently, and his expression immediately changed. He looked as amazed as the chef was just now. “Miss Su, you’re really amazing. I thought this dish was ruined for sure, but I didn’t expect you could save it so easily! Thank you, Miss Su!”
The young man bowed to Su Luo gratefully again.
Su Luo helped him up and said, “Alright, now that the problem is solved, hurry up and serve the dishes as planned. The guests are almost all seated.”
“You’re right. I’ll arrange it right away.”
A big problem was solved just like that. The head chef was in a good mood and immediately started giving orders. The people in the kitchen started to get busy again.
Su Luo thought her job was done and was ready to leave.
The head chef followed her out and called out to her, “Miss Su, please wait!”
Su Luo stopped and asked him, “Is there anything else?”
The head chef looked a little embarrassed. “Miss Su, where did you learn to cook?”
“I. . . I taught myself.”
The place Su Luo learned to cook was of course couldn’t be found in this world, so she made up a lie to dismiss him.
The head chef was shocked again. “You are really talented. If you want to learn to cook systematically, I can be your master.”
Did the head chef mean that he wanted to take Su Luo as an apprentice?
Sorry, for his level, she could be his master. Wanting to be her master? He was not qualified.
“No need, thank you. I think I am already on the right track.”
Su Luo walked forward, afraid that the head chef would pester her again.
The head chef sighed. He thought that maybe Su Luo did not like his skills. What a waste! Su Luo was really talented. He was confident that he could train her to become a famous chef, but Su Luo wouldn’t even give him the chance.
Su Luo returned in the way she came from. When she reached the stairwell, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.
When she stopped, the sound stopped too. When she resumed walking, she could hear it again.
Su Luo was a little flustered. Did she meet a pervert?
Although she was in her own home, the Su family house was too big. People were busy preparing for the banquet, and most of them gathered in the front hall. She was alone here.
Su Luo quickened her pace, wanting to get to a place where there were other people sooner. When she passed by the stairwell, someone suddenly covered her mouth from behind and brought her in by force.
