Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After walking for a long ti, Suo Luo finally found the kitchen. Looking at people in chef’s uniform walking in and out, Su Luo let out a sigh of relief.
She finally found it. She thought that she was lost.
When she walked in, she noticed the atmosphere inside was unusually heavy. Everyone looked anxious.
A middle-aged man was yelling, “You’ve been with for two years. How could you make such a low-level mistake? The banquet is about to start. Where can I get the ingredients to make a new one? This is the main dish! The main dish!”
He beca angrier and angrier as he spoke. He even slapped the table with his hand. The noise he made was a little scary.
“Head chef, should I, should I go tell the Su family to change the main dish?”
A slightly younger voice suggested with a trembling voice.
Su Luo quietly listened to their conversation and thought about what had happened. Then, he continued to walk forward.
“Change the main dish? The nu was already given to the guests, and there are only ten minutes left before the banquet starts. In such a short ti, do you think it’s possible to make another dish. You tell . Is this possible?”
Su Luo walked around the iron shelves and approached them. The angry guy with a red face was the head chef; he was scolding a young man standing in front of him.
There were many people watching around, but no one dared to make a sound.
The young man he scolded was trembling. He clenched his fists tightly, and tears fell down one by one.
“What’s wrong?”
Su Luo asked.
When the head chef saw that it was her, he knew that what she was here for. He didn’t want to take any responsibility so he ordered the young man, “Miss Su is here. You can explain it to her yourself.”
The young man imdiately bowed and apologized to Su Luo, “I’m sorry, Miss Su. It was an accident. I don’t know what I put in there, which made the main dish taste terrible. Do you think it’s possible to discuss with Mr. Su and remove one main dish?”
With his arms crossing over his chest, the head chef’s face was livid and he didn’t say anything.
“I’m afraid it’s too late. The nu has been announced. It would be hard to explain it to the guests.”
In her world, Su Luo was a chef herself. She knew the importance of main dish to a dinner party.
Especially in a traditional family like the Su family, the number of dishes and the type of dishes were all chosen carefully beforehand. Changing or removing a main dish might break so taboos.
The head chef saw that Su Luo’s attitude was quite firm. He knew that it would not be settled so easily, but he couldn’t think of a solution either.
If there was enough ti, he would bear all the losses and not charge any money. The problem was that there was not enough ti and the ingredients were limited. He really didn’t know how to turn the situation around.
“What should I do? What should I do?”
After he heard what Su Luo said, the young man was so anxious that he squatted down and held his head and started crying.
“Don’t worry. Where is the dish? Let take a look first.”
Su Luo comforted him. She wanted to try herself how bad the dish tasted and whether it could still be fixed.
“Stop crying. Let Miss Su try the dish.”
The head chef gently kicked the young man’s butt.
The young man stood up. He was still sobbing when he led Su Luo to a big pot. “Miss Su, this is the dish.”
Inside the pot was so stew. There were five types of at and five fresh vegetables in the stew. The sll was delicious.
Su Luo picked up a spoon and scooped up so soup to taste. She frowned.
It was bitter, astringent, and sour. To make such a flavorful taste, this young man was really a talent.
The young man lowered his head in guilt. “I’m really sorry, Miss Su. It’s all my fault.”
“It’s okay. I can fix it.”
After saying that, Su Luo began to search for the seasonings.
“What? It can be fixed?”
The young man raised his head in surprise; his face was still covered in tears.
“Miss Su, don’t waste your ti. I’ve already tasted the dish. It is completely ruined. If it could be changed, I would have done so a while ago.”
The head chef was sowhat conceited. Su Luo was young and grow up in a rich family. He was certain that woman like her did not know how to cook, so he spoke up to stop her.
Su Luo ignored him. When she won the award as a chef internationally, the head chef had not been created by the author yet.
In the eyes of Chef Su, a little problem like this was not worthy of being called a problem.
