After being abandoned by my parents, I became a top boss

"Learn to cook?" Lou Xinyue was stunned on the spot, her face full of disbelief, "Why do you want to learn to cook for no reason? Yunzhou, you don't want to develop a career in this area, do you?"

How hard is his cousin's life out there, making a living by cooking for others?

Lou Xinyue looked him up and down, with a hint of distress in her eyes. Shen Yunzhou saw it and knew that Lou Xinyue had misunderstood him, so he quickly explained, "Cousin, don't think too much. I'm just interested in cooking and want to learn it."

"Is there anyone else interested in cooking?" Lou Xinyue raised her eyebrows slightly. Her cousin's hobbies were really special.

"Cousin, thank you for your help."

Listening to Shen Yunzhou's repeated requests, Lou Xinyue waved her hand, "It's just a small matter, what's the trouble? I'll say hello to the chef, and he'll cook in the future, and you can follow and learn from him."

"Thank you, cousin."

"It's too formal to talk about thanking you. I didn't help you with anything. By the way, will you come here at this time every day to learn from the chef?"

Shen Yunzhou glanced at the time and nodded, "From now on, I will come over at 4:30 every day as long as I don't have classes."

"Okay, you can make your own arrangements." After she finished speaking, she asked Aunt Lin to call the chef over, pointed at Shen Yunzhou and introduced him, "Chef Liu, this is my cousin. He will learn cooking from you in the future. You must teach him well."

Chef Liu was stunned for a moment and looked Shen Yunzhou up and down. He knew that he was the young master of the Shen family and that the Shen family was quite powerful in Lucheng. How could such a person want to learn cooking from him?

Do you want to be a chef in the future?

When this idea popped up in his mind, he immediately cut it off. It was impossible. The parents of these children from wealthy families must have planned their future long ago, and being a chef would never be an option in this plan.

It's definitely just a hobby. If you really want to make it a career, it's impossible.

As he thought about it, he met Lou Xinyue's gaze and grinned, "Miss, don't worry, just leave it to me. I will definitely teach you well."

Lou Xinyue nodded and yawned, "Then I'll leave my cousin to you. I'm going to sleep for a while. Call me when dinner is ready."

Having said that, he stood up and walked towards the stairs.

Chef Liu stood behind him, nodding and bowing.

After Lou Xinyue's figure was completely out of sight, he looked at Shen Yunzhou and waved, "Come with me!"

As he spoke, he led the way forward.

"What kind of cuisine do you want to learn? Or, what are your intentions?"

"The cuisine is not limited, as long as it's light and nourishing to the stomach."

Hearing this, Chef Liu paused, turned around and looked at him with a smile on his face. Light and good for the stomach?

Is there someone with a weak spleen and stomach at home who needs to be taken care of?

But on second thought, it seemed unlikely. He knew the Shen family well. They were all very healthy and full of energy. Who would need special care?

Even if there is, with the Shen family's family background, they already have a team of health professionals following them. Why would the young master of the Shen family need to step out in person to learn how to make these light, stomach-nourishing dishes?

He guessed that the other person was really interested and came here to learn, so he shouldn't make random guesses. He was a chef and was paid by others, so he should just do whatever they asked him to do.

Thinking of this, he turned around and led Shen Yunzhou to the kitchen.

"Have you cooked before?" Chef Liu asked as they walked.

"Did it."

Hearing this, Chef Liu paused. He had thought that a young man like him should have everything he wanted, but he didn't expect that he had actually cooked.

Yes, he has taken the initiative to learn cooking, so it doesn’t seem strange for him to have cooked before.

He smiled and said, "It's easy if you have the basics. Do you have any special dishes?"

"I'm better at cooking noodles, but not so good at other things."

Chef Liu nodded. This was normal. If someone who had never done cooking since childhood said that he was such an amazing cook, why would he come to him?

"It's okay. Cooking is not difficult and easy to learn." He said, picking up a pot, "Do you know all the kitchen utensils?"

"know."

"Okay, then I'll teach you vegetarian dishes first, starting with... stir-fried broccoli. If you learn quickly, I'll teach you meat dishes."

Shen Yunzhou nodded. Chef Liu took out a broccoli from the refrigerator and handed it to him. "Do you know how to handle it?"

"meeting."

"Then you prepare the broccoli first, and then I'll teach you how to stir-fry it."

"Okay." Shen Yunzhou took a fruit knife from the side and began to cut the broccoli along the veins. In just a short while, he had cut the broccoli into even-sized florets.

Chef Liu took the time to take a look and couldn't help but praise: "Not bad! It's very well done."

As he spoke, he took a processed bamboo shoot from the side and said, "Slice this. I'll teach you how to make a bamboo shoot and black fungus dish."

"Okay." Shen Yunzhou put the bamboo shoots on the chopping board and took the knife, but he hesitated and didn't know where to start. Chef Liu was happy, "You don't know how to do it?"

Shen Yunzhou nodded, and Chef Liu smiled, "It's okay, I'll teach you."

As he said that, he walked to his side, took the kitchen knife from his hand, and began to teach, "Watch carefully, first cut into several sections, then stand the bamboo shoots upright, leaving a distance of about one centimeter, put your hand on the back of the kitchen knife, one cut, two cuts..."

He cut two slices and held them up to show Shen Yunzhou, "Just cut them into slices this thin."

After saying that, he put the bamboo shoots down and stepped aside, "Here! Cut two slices."

Shen Yunzhou stepped forward, picked up the kitchen knife, and started slicing the bamboo shoots like Chef Liu did. However, before the knife even touched the bamboo shoots, Chef Liu stopped him.

He pointed at the way Shen Yunzhou was holding the knife, "You are holding the knife wrong! This is not the way to hold the knife. You should use four fingers to block the back of the knife, not use your thumb to block it sideways. It's easy to hurt your hand this way. Try again."

Under Chef Liu's guidance, Shen Yunzhou corrected his knife-holding posture and successfully cut off a piece of bamboo shoots. Chef Liu nodded with satisfaction, "Keep cutting."

Having said that, he walked to the sink and started to process other ingredients.

But he hadn't been dealing with it for two minutes when he turned around and saw Shen Yunzhou covering his hand, with blood flowing from his fingertips and dripping onto the ground.

Chef Liu didn't care about anything else and ran to him in two or three steps. Because his hands were wet, he wiped them on his apron when he pulled his hand, "Why are you so careless?"

After taking a look at the wound, his brows knitted together, "It's quite a big wound. Wait here for me. I'll go get the medicine box."

Without waiting for Shen Yunzhou to answer, he trotted away as fast as he could. When Aunt Lin saw him, she asked him where he was going, but Chef Liu didn't have time to explain and just kept running forward.

Aunt Lin muttered, "He's already old, why is he still so reckless? It's as if there's something dirty chasing him."

But when she saw Shen Yunzhou's wound and the blood on the ground, she suddenly understood why Chef Liu ran so fast.

She took two or three steps forward and looked at Shen Yunzhou's wound, her eyes full of heartache, "Master Shen, let me get you some paper to wipe it first. You said that Old Liu is really unreliable. At your age, have you ever been in the kitchen? Have you ever touched a kitchen knife? It's really too much to ask you to cut vegetables right away. Wait until I tell the young lady, and I will definitely deduct his salary."
