return of the king

Hearing that Zhou Yingli was about to leave, Zhou Mingren and the housekeeper who were hiding by the kitchen door hurried away.

Zhou Mingren couldn't walk well, Zhou Yingli strode out of the kitchen, and caught two people not far away as soon as he went out.

Although they pretended to pass by the kitchen, Zhou Yingli saw through their disguise at a glance.

"Aren't you going to continue?" Zhou Mingren laughed dryly.

"It's late." Zhou Yingli said coldly.

What he meant was that it was late now, that he had delayed everyone from having dinner.

"It doesn't matter, you play...you just have fun learning."

Zhou Mingren almost expressed his true thoughts.

"I'm going to take a shower."

After leaving these words, Zhou Yingli turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Zhou Mingren could understand why Zhou Yingli was in a hurry to leave. He had been tossing in the kitchen for several hours, and they could smell his bad smell a few steps away from him. No wonder he couldn't bear it anymore.

It's normal to feel nothing in a kitchen with a similar smell, but once out of the kitchen, the smell is stronger outside in the clear air.They couldn't accept it, not to mention Zhou Yingli who hated the smell.

Zhou Yingli made a mess in a corner of the kitchen, and the ingredients that were originally prepared according to the dishes on the list had to be cleared away when they were not needed. It took several cooks more than ten minutes to clean up before starting to cook dinner.

It took them more than an hour this time for the maid to bring out the nine dishes.

Knowing that Zhou Yingli and Zhou Mingren were hungry, the butler specially asked them to cook one or two more dishes that they both liked.

The dinner was ready, but this time the cook took longer than the lunch preparation, and Zhou Yingli also spent more time on it.

"Do you want……"

Before the butler finished speaking, Zhou Mingren knew what he meant, and said pointedly: "No, you should take a bath on it, it will take more time."

In the morning it was time to take a break, and now I really took the time to freshen up.

Just as Zhou Mingren thought, Zhou Yingli had been taking a bath since he went up.

When he first came up, his hands were covered with greasy dirt and sticky, even his face felt like several layers of butter had been applied, Zhou Yingli's face was black and blue.He throws his freshly undressed clothes in the bathroom trash can instead of the laundry basket.

Under the hanging shower, the whole body was cleansed. After washing the hair and body several times, the scent of shampoo and shower gel was obviously all around, but Zhou Yingli always felt that his nose could still smell those unpleasant smells.

He even cleaned his nose with a cotton swab dipped in water a few times before he felt better.

He had spent an hour and a half waiting for him to come out of the bathroom.

When it came down, the dishes were already on the table. It seemed that the dishes on the table had been placed for a short time, and there was only a faint heat on them.

Seeing Zhou Yingli staring at the food on the table, Zhou Mingren thought he was still thinking about learning how to cook, so he comforted him: "Eat first, don't think about other things, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge."

Zhou Yingli nodded, which was in response to Zhou Mingren's words.

He sat down, picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat something when he remembered something.

"Housekeeper, tell the chef to come over later, I have something to ask him."

He didn't want to go into the kitchen when he was not preparing to learn how to cook, and he tried not to go in if he could, so this time he asked the chef to come out to find him.

"Yes." The butler replied and went to give instructions.

Zhou Yingli asked him to give orders in advance, obviously implying some kind of message, and the housekeeper understood what he meant.

When they entered the kitchen, the butler told the chef about it, and told Zhou Yingli to go out to meet him after dinner.The housekeeper also specifically told the chef to take a shower before meeting Zhou Yingli, clean himself up, and then change into clean clothes to meet him.

That's why Zhou Yingli asked the housekeeper to tell the chef in advance.

He said in advance, let the housekeeper notify in advance, so that the chef can have time to clean up and see him.

The butler came back and stood beside Zhou Mingren.

"Tell him?" Zhou Yingli asked.

What he meant was to ask the butler if he had explained clearly.

"Make it clear, he will come to see you after cleaning up."

It's not "he comes when you're full", but "he cleans up and comes back", which clearly states that the chef will take a bath and then come to see Zhou Yingli.

Zhou Yingli nodded in satisfaction.

Half an hour later, Zhou Mingren and Zhou Yingli finished their dinner, and the two of them moved to the sofa in the hall.

The butler asked someone to clear the table, and he went to notify the chef to come out.

After a while, the chef and the butler, who had already showered and changed into clean clothes, came to the hall.

The chef seemed to know that Zhou Yingli didn't like the white chef's clothes he was wearing, so he specially wore a suit this time to meet Zhou Yingli.

Zhou Yingli glanced at it and immediately felt relieved.

If he sees the clothes he is wearing while cooking, even if they are freshly washed and clean, he will feel that there are still a lot of oil stains on them and emit an unpleasant smell.

"What is the second young master looking for from me?"

Zhou Yingli kept silent, and the chef asked under the hint of the old man's eyes.

"I learned how to stir-fry green vegetables from you today..." I learned it, not learned it.

After saying this, Zhou Yingli suddenly stopped.

Then?

This is the common aspiration of the chef, Zhou Mingren and the housekeeper.

After a while, Zhou Yingli asked as if mustering up his courage, "In your opinion, how long will it take me to do like you?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

The chef was even more surprised.

How long does it take to do like them?

He has been learning how to cook for the longest time, and it took him seven years to become famous.Only the tenth year of learning to cook is eligible to be hired by the housekeeper of the Zhou family. Now, among the cooks in the Zhou family, the shortest time to learn to cook is six years.

They all have a certain talent in cooking. Even if they practice for more than eight hours a day, they still have to learn cooking for several years before they can cook today.According to Zhou Yingli's lack of talent, it is an ideal result for him to be able to learn it within ten years.

And he also has to spend eight, nine, ten hours a day in the kitchen like they used to, but he is the manager of the Zhou family, can he have that free time to stay in the kitchen for such a long time every day?

Therefore, after considering all the conditions, the chef came to a conclusion: Zhou Yingli learned to become a chef like them, and it is impossible to do it in this life!

The result is yes, but it is an unspeakable result.

"When I first learned how to stir-fry vegetables, it took me a month of hard work to make such a result. With the "talent" of the second young master, if I could work hard and spend several hours like today, I would probably be able to cook vegetables in about 20 days. It’s well fried.”

It's just decent, not necessarily reaching their level.

Anyway, the Zhou family has money, so they don't care about wasting the material money. Besides, he guessed that Zhou Yingli didn't have so much time to practice, so he said this on purpose, because Zhou Yingli couldn't live up to his assumption.He thought that Zhou should practice for a few days, and he retreated in the face of difficulties.

The chef purposely made his words vague, as for Zhou Yingli's understanding, it was up to him.

The chef wanted to laugh, Zhou Yingli could not fail to hear it.

But even if he is telling the truth, 20 days is still a long time for Zhou Yingli.

One month of work quickly passed by for him, but Zhou Yingli found it impossible to accept staying in the kitchen for 20 days a day.

Besides, so what if he learns to stir-fry vegetables well, can he take a plate of vegetables to make Duan Li change his mind?

Based on this calculation, it would take him a year to make a big meal, and it was still delicious.

It's fine if it takes a year, I'm afraid there will be long nights and dreams, Duan Li will put forward other conditions at that time, so endless, how long will it take for him to bring him home?

"Is there no quick way to learn cooking?" Zhou Yingli frowned.

He is more keen on crash courses. Whether it is learning a new subject in college or learning about the operation of an industry after he comes out to work, he spends a short period of time reading a few books and getting full marks in the exam and knowing how to do it in an industry. Make money in industries you didn't understand before.

However, only Zhou Mingren and the housekeeper could see his frown, and the chef was even more nervous because of his question.

"Second Young Master was just joking, it's not possible to have a fast method... well, there is a fast method, and now a few of us are teaching you, it can be regarded as a quick method." The chef changed his words halfway through.

crash?

Of course, you can do it quickly, but this is for people who are talented in cooking. It takes a long time for someone like Zhou Yingli to even stir-fry vegetables. Let alone the taste, with his performance, a You can see that he has no talent in this area.

He doesn't care how Zhou Yingli manages a big company, maybe he is really capable in that area, but he has to say that it is impossible for him to achieve good results in cooking.

"let me think again."

Saying that, Zhou Yingli stood up and walked upstairs.

He planned to find out how to practice cooking faster later, he didn't want to spend a year under these chefs to cook a table of dishes.

It seems that there are several experienced people who give advice and it may not be a quick success.

After Zhou Yingli went up, Zhou Mingren lowered his voice and asked the chef: "Do you know what Master Yingli wants to learn to cook? Did he tell you?"

The chef was surprised: "Don't you know, master? The second young master is learning to cook to please women."

"Pleasuring women?!" Zhou Mingren and the butler shouted in unison.

Because they were so surprised, they forgot to control their voices and quickly covered their mouths when they shouted loudly.

"call!"

After a while, seeing that Zhou Yingli hadn't come down, they put down their hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's strange, how did Yingli get the hang of it, how could he think of currying favor with women?Zhou Mingren was extremely puzzled.

Who is the woman he wants to please?No wonder he didn't bring Duan Li back. Could it be that he has a crush on another woman?

Seeing Zhou Mingren's appearance, the chef knew that he had misunderstood the same as they did at the beginning.

"Master, the woman Second Young Master wants to please is Second Young Mistress!"

"How come?" Zhou Mingren said in disbelief.

If he wanted to please Duan Li, Zhou Yingli would have started to please Duan Li 20 years ago, there is no need to wait until now.

"But the Second Young Master asked our Second Young Mistress what she likes to eat, and what he planned to learn was the Second Young Mistress' favorite dishes."

It's just that he's too stupid, and it took him hours to learn to hold a shovel and cook vegetables, so he hasn't started learning the dishes on the list for a long time.

Zhou Yingli couldn't even cook a dish of stir-fried vegetables. The chef didn't expect him to be able to make the dishes on the list.

"So it's to please Duan Li!" Zhou Mingren laughed.

No wonder he said he would bring Duan Li back soon, it turned out that he had already planned to make delicious food to please Duan Li and coax her back.

However, it's useless for him to have this plan. He has learned to cook like that. Zhou Mingren doesn't believe that he can use the food he made to lure Duan Li back. After all, Li Xi's cooking skills are better than the cooks of the Zhou family. .Zhou Yingli's cooking skills are not as good as Zhou Lixi's, can Duan Li admit him?

Zhou Mingren, the housekeeper and the chef looked at each other, and they all felt that it was impossible for Zhou Yingli to learn good cooking skills.

Facts have proved that Zhou Yingli's refusal to enter the kitchen is a wise choice. Poor him, who has been praised since he was a child, fell on learning how to cook. Anyone who sees him learning how to cook thinks he is very bad.
