Chapter 194 Stay

"Zhong Xiang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you have to think about it carefully." The host advised him kindly.

The Royal Hospital is very eager to recruit such talents.

Zhong Xiang once again turned his attention to Ye Jiayao, and Wang Mingde and Jiang Yue behind her. His eyes softened, and if he looked carefully, he could see a faint smile in his eyes.

"I have decided that my success today is not due to me alone, but to everyone in the sky, especially our boss, the Second Young Mistress. Without her guidance and encouragement, I would not be standing here."

"I believe that every colleague who has not grown up to be a chef has a deep understanding. We work in the kitchen with a meager salary and do the dirtiest, most tiring and heaviest work, but the glory, honor and money have nothing to do with us. The chefs are as guarded against us as thieves, for fear that we might steal their cooking skills. They scold us at every turn, and even hit us. Even a single word from the chef can make you lose your job..."

Most of the onlookers below are cooks, some are master chefs and some are ordinary cooks. Zhong Xiang’s words can be said to have spoken to everyone’s hearts, isn’t that it?

"So, I always wanted to get ahead and become a chef, but with mediocre qualifications, such an idea was just a dream. Until the appearance of Li Yao, who is now the second young lady of the owner of Tianshangju, she changed In all this, she never looked down on us humble cooks. She treated us as brothers and taught us cooking skills step by step. She said that cooking is not hard work, but enjoyment. Only by cooking delicious food with your heart can you feel the fun. Under her leadership, everyone’s cooking skills are improving day by day, and everyone’s income is rising day by day. I don’t know when, we began to treat Tiantianju as our second home. No matter how much work we do every day, no matter how tired we are, our mood is... Extremely comfortable.”

"So, I don't want to leave this warm and happy home, and leave the brothers who fight with me every day. I hope to create more delicious food with them, and complete their ultimate dream with them." Zhong Xiang's eyes changed again. He stood firm and bowed to the judges and hosts: "Please forgive me, sir."

Everyone was deeply shocked, not because Zhong Xiang gave up, but because he compared heaven to a home, a warm and happy home. This is simply unimaginable for those cooks who are still struggling in harsh working conditions.

Is that second young lady the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva? Why are there such chefs in the world? Such a boss? Which chef and owner doesn't try their best to squeeze them? Let alone being brothers, let alone teaching them cooking skills.

It really makes me jealous just thinking about it! Damn it, I’ll go to Tianshangju tomorrow to see if they’re still recruiting people?

Xia Chunyu, Xiaojing and others looked at Ye Jiayao and saw tears in her eyes. Xia Chunyu smiled and comforted her: "The person you are interested in is not bad."

"Zhong Xiang is good, but the really good person is Yaoyao." Xiao Jing said.

"That's right, I decided to make this friend the first time I met Yaoyao." Zhao Qixuan is quite proud of his ability to recognize people.

Xia Chunyu rolled his eyes: "That's right, I decided to marry Yaoyao the first time I saw her.

These words made Xiao Jing resentful. If he had met Yaoyao first, nothing would have happened to Xia Chunyu. Hey... this is fate.

Ye Jiayao ignored the words of these three people at all. She was shocked in her heart. She really didn't expect that Zhong Xiang would choose to stay and say such words, which moved her to a complete mess. Zhong Xiang is a person who values ​​friendship, but how could he What a waste of such a good opportunity!

The first place player chose to withdraw, and his qualification to enter the imperial dining room was extended to one. The fourth place player was very happy. He came just for the imperial dining room. He was already in despair. He didn't expect that the first place would withdraw. At this time, his It felt like a pie falling from the sky, surprising and happy at the same time.

When Zhong Xiang came down, Wang Mingde, who had always been reserved, couldn't help but give him a big hug and said excitedly: "Good brothers, we can all be together again."

Zhong Xiang smiled and said: "I think the salary from the imperial kitchen may not be as much as what the second young lady gives me!"

Anyone could tell it was a joke. Unexpectedly, Ye Jiayao said: "It's time to process the money, Zhong Xiang, from now on you will be the chef living in heaven."

Zhong Xiang said hurriedly: "Second Young Madam, I was joking."

Ye Jiayao smiled and said: "You are the first place in the cooking competition. If I hire you as a chef quickly, what will happen if you are poached?"

Xia Chunyu raised his arms and shouted: "Let's go, everyone in Tianshangju will have a holiday tonight, and we will set up two banquets to celebrate Zhong Xiang."

Zhao Qixuan and Xiao Jing will come later, while Xia Chunyu goes back to ask for leave from her mother for Yaoyao. Ye Jiayao took Zhong Xiang and others back to Tianshangju first.

Today, everyone is distracted from work. I really want to watch the game and cheer for Brother Xiang. I don’t know if the results are out now and whether Brother Xiang can be among the top three.

"Back, back, Second Young Mistress and Brother Xiang are back." Axing kept looking at the door. When he saw them coming back, he hurriedly ran into the kitchen to report.

Everyone dropped what they were doing and ran out.

"Second Young Mistress, Brother Xiang, how are you?" Deng Haichuan asked anxiously.

Everyone has an eager look in their eyes.

Ye Jiayao and Zhong Xiang looked at each other and smiled, but Wang Mingde couldn't help it and said, "Brother Xiang won the first place."

First? Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the pot exploded.

"Brother Xiang, you are so awesome..."

"Brother Xiang, you are so awesome..."

"Now we, the Heavenly Residents, are in the limelight again."

"That's great, what can I do? I want to cry..."

Seeing everyone acting crazy, Zhong Xiang felt warm in his heart. It was impossible to say that he gave up going to the imperial dining room without regretting a little bit. But seeing his brothers so excited about his success, he deeply felt that his decision was Yes.

"Can Brother Xiang be able to enter the imperial dining room?" Cui Dongpeng asked.

Suddenly, the scene became quiet. Although everyone's mouths were still grinning, there was already a feeling of reluctance in their eyes.

Brother Yao has become the second young mistress. Although he still comes to live in heaven every day, he can no longer chat, laugh, and work with them like before. Now that Brother Xiang is leaving again and entering the imperial dining room, he is afraid that there will be very few opportunities to come back and try his luck.

It was originally a happy thing, but why was it so sad?

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "What are you doing? Didn't you all hope that Brother Xiang could get close to the top three and get the qualification to enter the imperial dining room?"

Deng Haichuan cheered up first: "Yes, everyone, please be happy. Brother Xiang has become the imperial chef. From now on, everyone will tell us that our brother is the imperial chef. This is a very glorious and awesome thing."

Cui Dongpeng said: "Brother Xiang, work hard and strive to be the chief chef in the future. All brothers are optimistic about you."

Zhong Xiang's nose felt sour: "Second Young Madam, please stop playing with them."

Deng Haichuan was confused, what?

Wang Mingde said with a smile: "Brother Xiang has refused to enter the imperial dining room. He wants to stay in Heaven, for the sake of Heaven and for the brothers."

Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe their ears.

Brother Xiang refused? That was the first place he had worked so hard for. Although he had the guidance of the Second Mistress, everyone could see how hard Brother Xiang worked. Besides, didn't Brother Xiang really want to be the royal chef before? How do you say you just give up?

"Brother Xiang, is this true?" Cui Dongpeng asked in disbelief.

Zhong Xiang nodded and said with a smile: "What? Don't you want me to stay?"

The next moment, Zhong Xiang was overwhelmed by the crowd. Everyone rushed to hug him. Everyone laughed and shouted, and they were extremely excited.

Looking at this scene, Ye Jiayao's eyes became wet again.

She felt ashamed to say that she had no feelings for Tianshangzhu, but she definitely did not feel as deeply as Zhong Xiang. A home, a warm and happy family, but at this moment, she felt that everyone here was trustworthy. Yes, they are brothers. For the first time, these people gave her a sense of belonging.

Everyone has placed their hopes on her, so she will definitely live up to everyone's hopes.

The Heavenly Residence belongs not only to her, but also to everyone here.

The celebration banquet in the evening was definitely the biggest carnival in the history of Tianshangju. Even Ye Jiayao cooked several dishes herself. Good dishes were served, good wine was served, and everyone released their endless joy.

In the private room upstairs, Xia Chunyu and others smiled while listening to the lively commotion downstairs.

"I find the guys here more and more interesting. Speaking of which, Yaoyao really has a good management skills. She can make a group of people so united and willing to work for her. It's really amazing. If my subordinates can also be united and loyal. , that will save you worries." Zhao Qixuan felt deeply.

Xia Chunfeng snorted and said, "Just be content with what you're doing! If those people under your command become one again, will others still have a way to survive?"

"That's right, how about we become a rope first and you lead us to make a fortune first." Xiao Jing said.

Last time, in order to redeem the contract for Yaoyao, he realized how poor he was, so he tried to make a little fortune.

Zhao Qixuan said: "No problem. If we get together, then we will join forces. We will surely sweep the world. We can win any number one position."

Su Yiyun said calmly: "The toad is taking a breath, and the breath is getting louder and louder!"

Zhao Qixuan said with a spineless smile: "Now I am Butler Su Su. Su Su has the final say on everything."

Xiaojing and Chunfeng looked at Su Yi again.

Xiao Jing said: "Su Su, seriously, do you think there is any possibility of cooperation? We still have a little bit of capital."

Su Yi said slowly: "I am planning a business recently. I have to take another look. If I want you to cooperate, it must be 100% sure. When the time comes, we will make a total calculation."

Chunfeng asked curiously: "What kind of business is it?"

Su Yi took a sip of wine and slowly said two words: "Border trade."

Xia Chunfeng frowned and immediately thought that the imperial court was going to open border trade with South Vietnam. This matter had not been finalized yet. Very few people knew about it and they were not allowed to publicize it. He had to admire Su Yi and Zhao Qixuan's keen sense of smell.
