Chapter 273: Chapter 265: Farewell Banquet

She looked at the chefs before her and thought back to modern times, when she had joined a cooking club in college. The people who joined either wanted to please their boyfriends, learn how to be a housewife, or planned to open a restaurant after graduation. Apart from her, almost no one was learning to cook simply for the love of cooking and good food. They had too much on their minds, so they didn’t have the focus to truly learn and understand cooking.

In the end, she, who only attended once a week, ended up learning more and doing better than those who attended four or five times a week.

She could sense the focus and passion these chefs had for cooking, which was why they were able to grasp the deeper essence and techniques from just a few of her words.

"I’m happy I could help you. Whether it’s potatoes or any other ingredient, there’s never just one, two, or even a few ways to prepare them. Someone who truly excels at cooking can create an entire feast from a single ingredient. The key is to put your heart into learning and to experiment boldly. Don’t be afraid to fail. All success is built upon countless failures."

"Well said, truly well said!" Boss Chen walked into the kitchen, clapping. His eyes were bright as he looked at Bai Zhi. ’This girl is only twelve or thirteen, yet the things she says are so extraordinary. Her simple words hold such profound truths. I wonder if these big, burly men could even understand.’

Two people followed behind Boss Chen.

Meng Nan and Hu Feng.

Meng Nan quickly squeezed past Boss Chen and reached out to grab Bai Zhi’s wrist. "I knew you’d be here today! As soon as I finished up at the government office, I rushed over. I’m so glad I made it in time."

Bai Zhi gave a faint smile and subtly pulled her hand away. "Have you eaten yet?"

Meng Nan shook his head, a pitiful look on his face. "Not yet. I have to set off for the capital tomorrow, and there was still so much to hand off at the government office. I’ve been busy all morning; I didn’t even have breakfast."

Hu Feng, still standing behind Boss Chen, immediately chimed in, "Just a moment ago, wasn’t someone saying they had three bowls of bird’s nest porridge this morning and still weren’t hungry?"

Meng Nan gave an awkward laugh. "I was just joking. I really didn’t eat this morning. If you don’t believe me, ask Jin Xiao’an."

Speaking of Jin Xiao’an, he scanned the room for him, only to see that the man had already found some golden, crispy-fried potato cakes in the kitchen and was busy eating. He clearly hadn’t paid any attention to what they were saying.

Boss Chen said cheerfully, "Why don’t you all head up to the private room? As we agreed, I’m hosting a farewell dinner for Lord Meng today."

Meng Nan couldn’t have been happier. ’With Bai Zhi here, no matter what she cooks, it’s bound to be the most delicious food ever.’

Before Bai Zhi could even ask him what he wanted to eat, Hu Feng also squeezed in front of Boss Chen and grabbed her wrist. "What are you standing there dazed for? Let’s go!"

Before Bai Zhi could react, Hu Feng had already pulled her out of the kitchen.

"What are you doing? I still have to cook for Meng Nan."

Without turning back, Hu Feng pulled her straight toward the private room upstairs. "There are so many chefs here; they don’t need you. Besides, you’re not Meng Nan’s personal cook. Is he going to starve to death if you don’t cook for him?"

Meng Nan chased after them. He saw Hu Feng gripping Bai Zhi’s wrist tightly, but she wasn’t trying to pull away. In fact, it seemed she had no intention of pulling away at all.
