e was seriously bickering with the system.
Since the dishes had changed, the price of the ingredients must also change.
Therefore, he was trying to make the system return what it charged him earlier.

After Cao Zhishu sat down, he was surprised to see one other person in the restaurant.

“Head Chef Cheng, why are you here?” Cao Zhishu asked with a frown.
Although he still politely called him a head chef, from his stiff voice, it was clear their relationship was rather bad.

The moment Cao Zhishu spoke, Little Zhao instinctively raised his head and stopped grumbling about Yuan Zhou in his heart.

“Why do you care?” Master Cheng answered impatiently.
He did not even bother raising his head.

“You are here inviting Head Chef Yuan for an exchange as well? I’m sorry to say that my invitation has arrived first,” Cao Zhishu concluded after seeing Master Cheng seriously staring at the kitchen where Yuan Zhou was busy cooking.

The person who had the largest reaction to Cao Zhishu’s words was not Master Cheng.
Rather, it was Little Zhao.

Inwardly, Little Zhao was feeling extremely dissatisfied.
Yuan Zhou was merely an odd-job worker.
How could he stand shoulder to shoulder with his master? How was he worthy of receiving invitations from so many renowned chefs?

That’s right.
Little Zhao knew Master Cheng as well.
After all, Master Cheng was also a renowned chef.
On his Weibo, he had even received positive reviews from abroad.
It was hard to not know him.

“Just wait until you’re done cooking.
You will be taught a lesson,” Little Zhao vowed inwardly.

“Hoho,” Master Cheng held his temper and did not bother saying anything since he was in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

“Looks like you are quite polite in front Head Chef Yuan.
I wonder how long you can keep that up,” Cao Zhishu ridiculed.

“Longer than you,” Master Cheng finally turned around and said.
After all, he had already maintained a polite attitude here for more than half a year.

Cao Zhishu snorted and ignored Master Cheng.

With the two growing hostile the moment they met, it was clear they knew each other rather well.

The source of their hostility was quite simple.
They knew each other during a certain cooking competition.
Due to some divergent opinions on cooking, they grew hostile.
Cao Zhishu was of the opinion that food bore the weight of history as well, since food was a major part of history.

As for Master Cheng, he opined that food was food.
Regardless of what fancy words one used on it, food was still food and did not need the additional weights attached to it.
None of them were able to convince the other, and were thus stuck in a deadlock.

Eventually, it deteriorated to the point where Master Cheng felt like Cao Zhishu’s etiquette was fake, while Cao Zhishu felt that with Master Cheng’s temper, he was a boorish person.

And because of the mutual dislike, they grew hostile the moment they met.

“Huh? So Master Cheng has a bad relationship with this person?” Meng Meng blinked her eyes and looked at the two, curiosity written all over her face.

Fortunately, she was aware of how rare it was for Yuan Zhou to permit her to stay.
Therefore, she did not open her mouth and say anything.

The restaurant sank into silence, only the sounds of Yuan Zhou cooking resounding in the air.

“Have some tea, master,” Little Zhao noticed that Yuan Zhou had not served them any tea so he passed the tea he had prepared in advance to Cao Zhishu.

The hidden meaning behind this action was clear.
Little Zhao was criticizing Yuan Zhou for not knowing proper etiquette.

“Um,” Cao Zhishu took the tea.
Of course, he had not realized what Little Zhao was hinting at.
Instead, he recalled something else.

“By the way, although you don’t know this disciple of mine, he used to learn from Head Chef Yuan.
One can say that I have some sort of relationship with Head Chef Yuan through this,” Cao Zhishu suddenly said towards Master Cheng.

He was obviously trying to brag about the indirect relationship he had with Yuan Zhou.

Little did Cao Zhishu knew that he had touched upon Master Cheng’s taboo.

Master Cheng immediately turned around and saw the astonishment and resentment on Little Zhao’s face.
He immediately sneered.

“What? He learned here before? Learning from Teacher Yuan?” Master Cheng ridiculed.
“Absolutely impossible.
He is not worthy of that.
Are you dreaming?”

“Little Zhao, tell Head Chef Cheng about it,” Cao Zhishu turned and encouraged Little Zhao.
