Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 33
Lu Nanzhi walked quickly all the way, and Shen Lanze followed silently, worried that she would sprain her ankle again, and also afraid that following him would make her angry.

The two walked in tandem like this.

After entering the capital, Lu Nanzhi remembered that she hadn't asked shopkeeper Liu where the restaurant was, but luckily she remembered the name of the restaurant.

She came to the small stall to inquire, and finally found the location of the Spring Breeze Restaurant. She looked up at the door plaque of the restaurant, with a smile on her lips.

Looking back at the person who was still not far or near, the smile on the corner of his mouth fell, and he walked into the restaurant.

Shopkeeper Liu and several other master chefs had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Lu Nanzhi coming over, they immediately greeted her warmly.

"This is Lu Nanzhi, Miss Lu, I specially invited to guide us in making dishes." Shopkeeper Liu gave a brief introduction.

"Hi everyone, I'm Lu Nanzhi." Lu Nanzhi nodded politely to everyone, and then began to observe the location of each ingredient and the combination of various ingredients.

"This dish is the latest dish in our restaurant, called Hundred Flowers Banquet." Shopkeeper Liu brought over the freshly prepared food for her to try.

Lu Nanzhi picked up a piece and tasted it carefully. It tasted really good, and there was still a trace of floral fragrance in his mouth after eating it.

"The taste is extremely delicious, but since it's a flower feast, we can't just put the pollen in the dish, but also let everyone see it. You can put the petals under the plate, which is not only beautiful, but also smells faintly floral."

Everyone agreed with this proposal, only Chef Li who was standing aside showed disdain, how could a little girl know how to cook.

"The most important thing is good food, what's the use of having those fancy things."

Although the voice was not loud, it was still heard by Lu Nanzhi, shopkeeper Liu hurriedly said with a smile: "Miss Lu, this is the list you gave me yesterday, please see if there are any missing ingredients, so I can ask someone to fill them up. "

Chef Li was dragged into a corner by other people, and persuaded in a low voice: "Chef Li, I know you are dissatisfied, but at least you are the one invited by Shopkeeper Liu, so how about some face?"

In fact, Chef Li was not the only one who was dissatisfied. None of the chefs in the back kitchen agreed with Lu Nanzhi. They all thought that women should stay at home and take care of their husbands and children.

What's more, she is only a young woman, if it spreads that their restaurant loses face, it doesn't matter, the key is to damage the reputation of the entire capital restaurant.

But shopkeeper Liu, after all, please come back, and you have to give some face.

Chef Li has always been a straightforward person, he couldn't hide his unhappiness, and ran over regardless of everyone's obstruction.

"Shopkeeper Liu, don't blame me for talking too much. I, Mr. Li, have been working as an apprentice for more than ten years now. I have cooked countless meals. This person you invited..."

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand to signal him to shut up.

"If you think Miss Lu's proposal is inappropriate, how about this, you guys have a competition, let everyone taste the delicious food, everyone can decide whether it is good or bad."

Shopkeeper Liu knew that in order to convince everyone, Lu Nanzhi had to show some skills, otherwise she would not be able to gain a foothold in the back kitchen.

Shopkeeper Liu's words gave Chef Li enough face, and all the chefs echoed, saying that Shopkeeper Liu's proposal was very good, and they also wanted to see who was the best.

Although Chef Li was dissatisfied with Lu Nanzhi, he didn't dare to disobey Shopkeeper Liu's wishes.

He was silent for a moment, looked at Lu Nanzhi and said, "Since shopkeeper Liu gave you a chance, you might as well let you choose first, so as not to say that I bully you."

Although he is arrogant, he is humble and cautious when it comes to cooking.

"I choose pasta." Lu Nanzhi was not polite, and directly chose the best pasta to compare.

"Okay." Chef Li didn't hesitate at all, turned around and started to work.

Everyone waited with bated breath, as time passed, both of them were immersed in making pasta, while Lu Nanzhi was making pastries, and seemed to be carving something.

Chef Li looked at her cautious appearance, and let out a cold snort. It really was the little girl's mind, and she knew how to play those useless tricks.

Shopkeeper Liu's eyes were fixed on Lu Nanzhi's hands, those soft and jade hands slid gently on the chopping board, every time it was just right.

Shopkeeper Liu was stunned, staring at her hands for a long time without looking away.

"Miss Lu, what are you?" Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help asking.

Lu Nanzhi stopped what he was doing and glanced at him sideways.

"Sculpture."

Her tone was calm and without any waves, as if it was an insignificant matter.

Shopkeeper Liu only knows that wood can be carved, but he doesn't know that pasta can also be carved, so he suddenly became interested, "What are you carving?"

"Flower." After Lu Nanzhi said this word, he continued to move his hands, ignoring his shocked expression.

Lu Nanzhi's hands were too fast, shopkeeper Liu didn't have time to capture the traces of her carving, only the movement of her waving her hands.

Soon, Lu Nanzhi carved the three flowers, with delicate lines on the petals. She picked up the carved flowers and put them in the pot for steaming.

The cakes made by Chef Li are very simple, and a plate of hot osmanthus cakes was served in front of everyone, with a look of pride in his eyes.

"So what? It looks terrible." Lu Nanzhi said with a smile, crossing his arms around his chest.

"You! I want to see how good your appearance is." Chef Li gritted his teeth angrily.

Soon, Lu Nanzhi's cakes were steamed, and she brought three lifelike plum blossoms in front of everyone, and the fragrant smell rushed into her nostrils.

It is obvious who wins and who loses, and Chef Li knows it without everyone saying it.

He lowered his head and said: "I lost, my skills are not as good as others."

"How about another comparison?" Lu Nanzhi knew that Chef Li was not good at pasta, and the reason why he chose this way was to sharpen his spirit.

Chef Li didn't expect that she would continue the competition, and he didn't understand why she would do this, since he had already admitted defeat.

"I want to convince you to lose." Lu Nanzhi continued to choose ingredients.

This time she chose a block of tofu, and she made spicy tofu.

"Booming" there was a burst of thunder in the sky, lightnings illuminated the misty sky, and heavy rain fell from the sky, crackling and hitting the ground, and everyone outside dodged the storm.

Lu Nanzhi's hands moved quickly, and after a while, a plate of spicy tofu appeared in front of everyone. She glanced sideways at the pouring rain outside, put down her things and ran out.

"Miss Lu, you..." Shopkeeper Liu didn't know why.

The other chefs took a bite of the spicy tofu with their chopsticks one after another, and their eyes widened instantly. The taste is really delicious!
"Miss Lu is too powerful."

"Yes, I don't know how she made it and what ingredients she used."

"How can the taste be so special? What we make can't be compared with her."

Chef Li also took a sip, and he knew he was completely defeated.

Lu Nanzhi stood at the door of the restaurant, looked at the two people under the eaves not far away, and retracted his step forward.

The hand holding the door frame was slowly tightened, and his eyes were fixed on the two people who were embracing each other. For some reason, there was a nameless anger in his heart.
