After collecting the two dishes that were a reward for tonight, Zhou Yu also collected a sales bonus of 5340 yuan for today.

Strangely, when Zhou Yu opened the wish list, he still only saw Chen Mingyuan's wish list.

No wish assignments from his patients were found.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yu still clicked to accept Chen Mingyuan's wish quest.

As for the restaurant where he would cook, he finally thought of Shunyilou.

Since Liang Ding started providing him with buffalo milk, Lin Wenhui has been bringing it to him every day, and he hasn't been to Shunyi Restaurant for several days.

I also took the opportunity to visit Liang Ding.

......

The following day, Lingnan finally entered November.

Although the weather in G City is still scorching hot, the northerly winds are blowing more frequently.

The north wind picked up again today, bringing a touch of coolness.

After completing his bodyweight training and preparing the ingredients for the day, Zhou Yu set off for Shunyi Tower.

Led by the innkeeper, Zhou Yu arrived at the kitchen of Shunyi Restaurant.

Before even entering, Zhou Yu heard Zhang Rong raving in the kitchen, spouting Cantonese opera-style verses.

"What the hell? You don't even have the strength to throw a gummy bear? You were completely exhausted last night throwing things with that girl! Put some effort into it, brother!"

The kitchen is full of heat, so the chef's heat is even stronger.

As a chef, it's impossible not to have experienced being harshly criticized by the head chef.

Zhou Yu truly learned his lesson this time; it was indeed a place of birdsong and fragrant flowers.

As he walked in, he saw the tall guy who had questioned him last time, sitting like a quail, getting shrimp paste in his mouth.

Zhang Rong, who was half a head shorter than him, stood to the side looking like a fat general.

When Zhang Rong saw Zhou Yu, his serious expression relaxed, and he greeted Zhou Yu with a beaming smile: "Master Yu, you have time to come over for tea today?"

As he walked towards Zhou Yu, he still urged the tall chef, "Pound it harder, or you won't be leaving early tonight if you don't get good fish maw."

Zhou Yu: "Brother Rong, it seems the restaurant is doing well today, the kitchen is so lively!"

Zhang Rong laughed and said, "Not at all. It's Thursday today, and apart from people having morning tea, we haven't had many customers at noon. But we have been quite busy lately. Mainly because most of the dishes on the set menu require a high level of skill from the chefs."

"Now we're having the kitchen staff practice whenever there's time, otherwise we won't be able to handle the year-end rush of customers. But, Mr. Yu, is there something you need today?"

Zhou Yu: "I have a small matter to discuss with Master Ding, and I also wanted to check on you all."

Zhang Rong said somewhat embarrassedly, "Master Yu, since you're here, I have a question I'd like to ask you. I saw in ancient books that Jiangnan Hundred Flower Chicken also uses night-blooming jasmine, but I saw you used white chrysanthemum last time. What's the difference between the two?"

Zhou Yu: "Actually, it's the same. Whether you use night-blooming jasmine or white chrysanthemum, it just depends on which flower is in season at the time. So, you can use whatever you like according to the season."

Having received Zhou Yu's reply, Zhang Rong finally felt relieved.

As the head chef, he naturally knew that the two flowers were from different seasons, and it was easy for him to deduce that they should be used according to the season.

But unfortunately, the shadow of the last time was still there, and he was afraid that different flowers would also affect the final product, making it seem like a novice chef's apprentice.

Zhang Rong had tried both, but he couldn't tell the difference himself, and he was too embarrassed to ask Liang Ding to ask him.

Zhou Yu, not seeing Liang Ding in the kitchen, asked, "Isn't Master Ding in the kitchen?"

Zhang Rong said, "It was just here a moment ago."

He turned around and looked around, then said, "He's probably out smoking again."

Zhang Rong hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Master Ding hasn't been in a good mood lately, so it's not convenient for me to talk about it. If you see Master Ding and he brings it up himself, please try to comfort him."

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement.

After he came out of the kitchen, he finally saw Liang Ding in the fire escape on the side of the kitchen.

Zhou Yu waved and greeted him, "Master Ding!"

"Brother Yu, you're so free today, are you coming over for tea?"

When Liang Ding saw Zhou Yu approaching, he stubbed out his cigarette and put on his signature Maitreya Buddha smile.

He laughed and said, "Come, come, let's go to my private room for tea."

As he spoke, he pulled Zhou Yu into a small private room.

At this moment, there was only a cute little girl in the private room.

When Liang Xinxin saw Liang Ding come in, she immediately threw herself into his arms: "Daddy, are you done with your work?"

This time, however, she finally remembered Zhou Yu and called out to him, "Hello, Brother Zhou Yu!"

Liang Ding smiled and patted her little head, saying, "You should call me Uncle."

Liang Xinxin: "Teacher Yue Liang said that when you see a handsome older brother, you can't call him 'uncle,' you have to call him 'brother'!"

Zhou Yu and Liang Ding were both amused by her.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was alone, Liang Xinxin asked, "Brother Zhou Yu, didn't that watermelon-headed boy come today?"

Zhou Yu: "Little Linlin has to go to school today, but little Xinxin, I wanted to ask you last time, don't you have to go to kindergarten today either?"

Liang Ding laughed and said, "She'll be attending, but get out of class is over now. She goes to the kindergarten next door, so I pick her up at noon and bring her back to the hotel for lunch and a nap."

After the group sat down, Liang Ding called over a waiter and ordered a few more dim sum dishes.

Zhou Yu quickly said, "Master Ding, there's no need to add more. I've already had breakfast and I'm still quite full."

Liang Ding laughed and said, "It's alright, it's lunchtime now."

As he spoke, he poured tea for Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu had no choice but to return the tea gesture by tapping his fingers together.

After several rounds of tea, Zhou Yu revealed the purpose of his visit:

"Brother Ding, some friends are looking for a place to eat my cooking these past few days, so they'd like to borrow the kitchen and private rooms. Of course, I'll pay the venue fee as required."

Liang Ding waved his hand dismissively and said, "Use it as you please, don't talk about money. You can even have Pork Rong help you out."

He laughed and said, "I'm not being polite with you. The fact that they're helping out and learning from you is what we're charging for the venue."

Seeing Liang Ding's words, Zhou Yu didn't stand on ceremony. However, remembering Zhang Rong's words, he asked, "Master Ding, you look so worried today. Is something troubling you?"

Liang Ding remained silent.

But Liang Xinxin spoke up from the side: "It was my brother who made Dad angry."

Zhou Yu was momentarily stunned. Brother? Me? When did I make Liang Ding angry?
