“Sorry, I may not be able to go shopping with you this afternoon.”
After reading Su Henian’s reply, Qin Lang looked at the other two with a hint of apology, “The senior I know is free this afternoon, and he’s nearby. I plan to visit him now.”
“Eh?” Upon hearing Qin Lang’s words, a regretful expression appeared on Shen Qian’s face, “Okay, we’ll pack so delicious food for you.”
“Visiting a senior is more important, go ahead,” Zhou Tianhao patted Qin Lang’s shoulder and said with a smile.
“Okay!” Qin Lang nodded, then looked at the text ssage on his phone again.
“Qin Lang, Ah Hui has ntioned you to many tis before, and I am looking forward to eting you. I am delighted to hear your news of coming to Ye Zhi City. I happen to be free this afternoon and am at No. 16 Jinli Road.”
On the way to the hotel, Qin Lang passed by Jinli Road, as he said, the locations of the two were very close indeed.
“I have to go now!” Opening the navigation on his mobile phone, Qin Lang strode towards the direction it pointed to, waving goodbye to the other two as he walked away.
“Okay, do you have anywhere you want to go, Brother Zhou?” Shen Qian shrugged as she watched Qin Lang’s retreating figure and looked at Zhou Tianhao standing beside her.
The Spirit Chef Association of Ye Zhi City is not far from here, we can go there first,” Zhou Tianhao suggested with a smile, “It’s a habit of mine to visit the local Spirit Chef Association whenever I arrive in a city.”
“Sotis, the architectural style of a city’s Association reflects the local customs to so extent. Besides, we might be able to learn a bit of intelligence about Mr. Gao Yichen’s assessnt there,” he added.
“In addition, there often is a food street near the Spirit Chef Association, and Ye Zhi City is no exception. If we want to taste other local specialty foods, going there would be killing two birds with one stone.”
“Great idea!” Shen Qian nodded in approval, her eyes filled with laughter, “Then let’s set off.”
“Alright.” Zhou Tianhao looked in the direction where Qin Lang had disappeared, then turned around and walked in the opposite direction, declaring, “Let’sgo!”
“No. 16, Jinli Road… All! It’s here!”
As the navigation hardware on his mobile phone announced that he had arrived, Qin Lang found himself standing in front of a storefront.
Looking at the signboard, a strange color appeared on his face.
It turned out to be a restaurant.
Even more crazy was that he was not unfamiliar with this restaurant.
Still rembering when he first ca to this world, the newly certified Spirit Chef Qin Lang was looking for a restaurant to apply for a hanging position chef after the birth of his first Food Spirit.
At that ti, he directly approached the best restaurant in Dongxia City with full of confidence, only to be ruthlessly rejected by the interviewer.
That restaurant was called Breeze Restaurant, as was the restaurant in front of him right now.
The sa style and similar decorations on the signboard indicated that the two restaurants sharing the sa na was not a coincidence.
Branch?
The husband of Ms. Song Hui seed to have moved from Tianhua State to Mingjing Province for work. Could it be…
At this thought, Qin Lang’s mouth twitched slightly.
The sudden appearance of a figure caught the attention of the host at the restaurant entrance. He took a closer look at Qin Lang then quickly approached him.
“Excuse , are you Mr. Qin Lang?” he asked.
“Yes,” nodded Qin Lang, “I am here to visit Mr. Su Henian, is he in?”
“Mr. Su is in. He specifically instructed to look out for your arrival. Please follow .” The host extended his hand towards the interior of the restaurant with a warm smile.
Mr. Su…
Qin Lang looked even more puzzled.
Indeed, as he had suspected, Mr. Su Henian was a senior executive at Breeze Restaurant, and he ca here from Tianhua State because of the restaurant’s staff rotation.
Even though Breeze restaurant’s unforgiving rejection of his application in the past had left a negative impression on Qin Lang, he also knew there wasn’t much of a connection between different branches, further more, they were located in different states.
After clearing this up, Qin Lang no longer hesitated and followed the host inside the restaurant.
They quickly arrived at the door of an office after passing through the beautifully decorated restaurant.
“This is Mr. Su’s…,” the host began to introduce but was interrupted by an angry voice coming from inside the office.
“The Qualification Battle agreed upon is tomorrow, and you tell the chef has fallen ill and been hospitalized today?!”
The host’s face turned pale and he stopped speaking.
“Get out!”
At the sound of the voice, the office door was flung open, and a middle-aged man in a chef’s uniform slunk out. He didn’t even glance at Qin Lang or the waiting host before turning around and leaving.
Noticing the people outside, the figure in the office turned to look, and his look of anger and worry swiftly disappeared the mont he caught sight of Qin Lang.
“Qin Lang, you’re here.” The man forced out a smile, then strode forward, “You look even younger in person.”
“Nice to et you for the first ti. I’m Su Henian.”
“Nice to et you, Uncle Su,” Qin Lang shook the man’s outstretched hand while examining Su Henian in return.
He was wearing semi-fra glasses and was dressed neatly, exuding an aura of gentle sophistication.
Truth be told, Uncle Luo Hui didn’t lose to him without good reason.
“Sorry for what happened just now” Su Henian said with a rare hint of embarrassnt, aware that Qin Lang may have heard his earlier words, “Co in. I’ve prepared so fine tea. I’ve wanted to et you for a long ti. Let’s have a good chat.”
“Okay.” Qin Lang nodded, not ntioning the incident just now on his own initiative. Then he followed Su Henian into the office.
Soon, the tea was brewed. The fragrance of the tea filled the entire office, which rose one’s spirits.
“Have a try. This is a specialty bud tea of Ye Zhi City.” Su Henian took a sip, and then he laughed, “Although it’s a bit late, but congratulation to you for winning the first place in the Youth Group of the Leaping Fish Banquet.”
“Uncle Su, you followed the Leaping Fish Banquet?” Qin Lang tasted the tea, feeling a thread of tea fragrance from the boiling tea water revolved above his head, refreshing and intoxicating, his eyes squinted unconsciously.
This tea is really good.
“Although I am not a Spirit Chef, I am also a worker in the catering industry. If I don’t care about the Leaping Fish Banquet, it would really be a dereliction of duty.” Su Henian laughed, “I noticed your participation in the competition on the first day of the Leaping Fish Banquet.”
“At that ti, I felt that the champion of the Youth Group of this Leaping Fish Banquet would be you.”
“Uncle Su, you overestimate .” Qin Lang felt a little embarrassed at being highly regarded by Su Henian, “I still have a lot to improve.”
“Victory without arrogance, this is good.” Appreciation flashed in Su Henian’s eyes, and he suddenly asked, “When you were in Dongxia City, have you heard about Breeze Restaurant there?”
Qin Lang hesitated when drinking his tea.
“I’ve heard about it.”
“It should be more than just hearing about it,” Su Henian laughed, “You applied for the position of hanging chef there, but were rejected by the person in charge.”
“Huh?” A surprised look appeared on Qin Lang’s face.
“Uncle Su, how did you know?!”
