Capítulo 1802: 076. Public Display
Since Dong Tian hasn’t officially opened for business yet, the number of chefs is less than half of what it used to be. But even with just half, there are still a dozen or so people. Plus, with the young servants and workers who ca to see the commotion after hearing the news, the hall was quickly filled with people.
Looking at the large crowd gathered in the hall, Bai Jing’s heart skipped a beat, feeling that today’s event might not be as simple as it seed.
Just as he was about to speak, Liang Liqin started to provoke Gao Xuan again, making Bai Jing even more irritated.
Liang Liqin might be provoking, but Gao Xuan, adhering to his duty as a chef, didn’t say a word to him.
Gao Xuan didn’t mind, but the others at Dong Tian were quite angry. Gao Xuan, having worked at Dong Tian for years and being an outgoing person, naturally had many good friends.
Seeing everyone’s indignant faces, Lin Yuan didn’t say anything outwardly, but internally she was quite pleased.
Yes, at least it showed that everyone was united against outsiders!
Clearing her throat, Lin Yuan casually asked about the relationship between Liang Liqin and Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan, disdainful of paying any attention to Liang Liqin, simply ntioned that they used to be fellow apprentices and said no more.
On the other hand, Liang Liqin praised Gao Xuan’s culinary skills extensively, causing those at the door enjoying the spectacle to start speculating.
They were from the sa school of apprentices, yet Gao Xuan, with his exceptional culinary skills, was only at Dong Tian. anwhile, Liang Liqin beca an Imperial Chef in the Imperial kitchen, suggesting that Liang Liqin’s skills must be even more superior!
Listening to the murmurs, Liang Liqin felt extrely satisfied. He didn’t genuinely want to praise Gao Xuan; it was simply to elevate himself.
Regarding Liang Liqin’s solo performance, Lin Yuan found it amusing but did not intervene. If soone voluntarily played the clown, why not enjoy the show?
Eventually, Bai Jing couldn’t stand Liang Liqin’s smug deanor any longer and halted him, ending the show.
Covering her mouth to chuckle lightly, Lin Yuan stopped paying attention to Liang Liqin, turning to Bai Jing with respectful eagerness to learn.
“Mr. Bai, since Dong Tian hasn’t truly opened yet, many chefs are still resting at ho and haven’t returned, so today there are only a few people here. However, despite the small number, we’re all eager for your guidance! Of course, if you could, as your pupil ntioned, kindly cook a delicious dish for us, we would be even more thrilled.”
Lin Yuan spoke with a gentle and lyrical voice, making everyone feel quite comfortable, even Liang Liqin was swayed by her words, joining in to urge his master to perform for this bunch of country bumpkins.
“Well…”
Bai Jing hesitantly glanced at the people before him, sowhat doubtful. He indeed harbored the intention of confronting Lin Yuan again, considering that during the previous palace feast competition, he genuinely believed it was the Emperor and the Empress’s consideration of Lin Yuan’s title as Commandery Princess that led to favoritism.
But now, hearing Lin Yuan proactively suggest showing off his skills, why did he feel uneasy?
“Master, what are you hesitating for?”
Liang Liqin whispered urgently into Bai Jing’s ear, “Didn’t we co here to cause trouble for Dong Tian? Don’t be fooled by Princess Pingxi’s smiling deanor; she must be secretly scared! Master, trust , she definitely won’t dare to take the stage personally in this competition. Later, I’ll urge my brother, whose skills I know well. Though slightly stronger than mine, compared to you, Master, that’s the difference between heaven and earth!”
Qian Hai didn’t take Lin Yuan seriously, and upon hearing Liang Liqin’s words, he imdiately nodded in agreent, “Big brother, I think Liqin is right. Look at Princess Pingxi; she’s so frightened she’s called out everyone from Dong Tian just to bolster her courage! She’s all bark and no bite; don’t be afraid of her!”
“Get lost! Who’s afraid of her? Can you talk properly?”
Liang Liqin kicked Qian Hai’s butt, making him wince in pain yet unable to push back against Liang Liqin.
Although he called Bai Jing ‘big brother,’ he was rely a small underling compared to Bai Jing’s proper apprentice.
With Liang Liqin and Qian Hai backing each other up, Bai Jing felt slightly tempted but remained cautious.
