Chapter 682 - 536: The Future Knows No Bounds
"Today’s chef was specially invited by my Xiaoxi, everyone should try it later and see how it tastes?"
Yang Deyi’s face was beaming with a smile, warmly inviting friends and family to take their seats.
After speaking, he turned to Old Lu on his left and said with a smile, "Old Lu, you’ve been in the Imperial City all these years always praising this chef’s delicious food, and that chef’s delicious food. Today here, you must properly taste our chef’s culinary skills."
Old Lu nodded with a smile, "Not to mention anything else, those two pieces of Victory Cake just now already show the true skills of the chef."
Old Jia nodded in agreement, "Indeed, the taste of that Victory Cake is truly unparalleled, it’s the best I’ve tasted over the years, without question. And this whole table of dishes looks very nice and smells very fragrant, the taste surely won’t disappoint."
The other guests were confused, understanding every word but being somewhat clueless when they were put together.
Speaking of it.
Did they miss some wonderful content?
Or was Yang Deyi giving special treatment?
If it was the latter, that wouldn’t be nice.
Thus...
A guest curiously asked, "Yang Deyi, what is this Victory Cake they’re talking about? Since it’s so delicious, why not bring it out for everyone to try?"
Yang Deyi’s heart tightened suddenly, then he cast a slightly reproachful and helpless glance at Old Lu and Old Jia: You two are really picking at fault, causing trouble for me.
But he quickly adjusted his mood, exhibiting a smile again, and hurriedly explained, "This Victory Cake is actually a birthday gift specially prepared for me by Chef Huang, invited by my daughter. There’s really a limited amount. Earlier, quite a bit was consumed by Old Lu and Old Jia, and hardly any is left, so I truly cannot share more with everyone. I hope you all understand."
Old Lu: "..."
Old Jia: "..."
Darn you, Old Yang, it’s bad enough you don’t want to share, but even passing the blame to us...
You’re quite unkind!
The essence of a good buddy is to take the blame for you, huh?
Never mind, never mind!
Today is Old Yang’s birthday, he should be the happiest...
And after hearing this, although the other guests felt a slight twinge of regret, they still conveyed their understanding, nodding gently in agreement. Some even started teasing Old Lu and Old Jia, adding a bit of laughter to the scene: "Haha, Old Lu, Old Jia, you are truly ’chieftains of the food world,’ not forgetting to taste even birthday gifts!"
Old Lu and Old Jia exchanged smiles, scratching their heads a bit awkwardly.
"Hehe, the Victory Cake was simply too tempting, making it difficult for us to resist for a moment."
Old Lu explained heartily.
"That’s right, it’s the irresistible charm of this cake that ’poisoned’ us both!" Old Jia humorously agreed, then switched to a serious expression, "Later, we really need to learn from this chef."
"Yes, we’re all looking forward to meeting this chef who even impresses Old Lu and Old Jia so much."
Everyone’s faces were filled with curiosity and anticipation, echoing the sentiment.
"Alright! I will surely introduce him to everyone later!"
Yang Deyi’s hearty laughter resonated in the air, and his gaze casually caught Huang Jun coming over with a tray, immediately saying with a smile, "What a coincidence, speak of the devil, and he shall appear, no need to wait now. Let me introduce the main chef for today—Chef Huang Jun."
Momentarily...
Everyone’s eyes simultaneously turned towards Huang Jun.
This sudden attention startled Huang Jun slightly, before he smiled with surprise and slight shyness.
"Daddy~"
At this moment, Qingqing and Weiwei’s crisp children’s voices broke the silence of the scene.
That’s right.
When they saw Huang Jun, their eyes sparkled with joy, as if discovering a new land, and they called out to him in their adorable voices.
Huang Jun nodded at the two little ones, indicating that he had seen them, and with his eyes told them to sit quietly and not make a fuss.
The little ones seemed to understand the meaning in his eyes, each politely covering their own mouths.
"Chef Huang, you’ve come at the perfect time, join us for a meal and let everyone get to know you."
Yang Deyi warmly invited, talking while helping Huang Jun to take the delicate soup cups off the tray one by one, gently placing them on the revolving table, adding, "These are all Chef Huang’s specialties, everyone must try them well."
"Ah, alright!"
Old Lu nodded once, then before Yang Yuxi could act, moved the chair next to him aside, warmly inviting Huang Jun to sit down: "Chef Huang, please have a seat!"
"Thank you!"
Huang Jun replied with a smile, walking towards the table while gently setting down the tray.
He glanced around at the guests seated and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I’m Huang Jun. It’s a real honor to cook for you all here today. I sincerely hope every dish I’ve prepared can be enjoyed by everyone."
"Chef Huang, we’ve already experienced your skills, truly amazing!" Old Lu said excitedly.
"Absolutely, the Victory Cake you made was a delight with every bite, Old Lu and I can’t wait for the next dishes." Old Jia eagerly added.
Huang Jun nodded slightly, his face showing a confident yet humble smile: "I’m really happy to receive your approval. Now, everyone please dig in quickly, the essence of good food lies in its warmth and freshness; if it’s cold, it will lose its flavor."
"Yes, yes, everyone don’t be shy, let’s dig in!"
