“Master Cheng, what kind of gift do you think is appropriate?” Hao Cheng was the first to speak.

As soon as he said that, the other three people also looked at master Cheng, waiting for his answer.

“The most important thing about a thank you gift is sincerity. It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive or not. After all, master has seen all kinds of good things. He doesn’t need those gaudy things.” Master Cheng said.

“Yes, yes, yes. That’s only natural. All the utensils used in head chef Yuan’s restaurant are exquisite. The ingredients in the restaurant are also exquisite.” Huang Fei nodded.

“So there’s no need to consider this.” “I’m thinking of something else,”master Cheng nodded.

“Other things? I think head chef Yuan’s knife and anvil are rare treasures. I’m afraid we don’t have to give them to you. ” Liu Li touched his fat belly and said awkwardly.

“That’s right. We can’t be clichéd when gifting to head chef Yuan. It has to be related to the chef. What should we give him?” Wang Qiang was also a little vexed.

Huang Fei immediately thought of the best choice for a thank you gift, and said,””Master Cheng, I have an ancient recipe that I collected myself. I wonder how this thank you gift is?”

“That’s great. My master doesn’t like anything else but cooking. Your gift is barely acceptable.” Master Cheng was pleasantly surprised in his heart, yet he said indifferently on the surface.

“We also have this thing.” The remaining three people looked at each other before Hao Cheng spoke.

“If there are a lot of them, it’s indeed a good gift. Thank you.” Master Cheng felt even happier and directly smiled.

“It’s no problem. If I’m still a chef, I can invite head chef Yuan to my study room to have a look. It can also be considered an exchange of culinary skills.” Huang Fei said.

That’s right, Huang Fei naturally had the confidence to say this. After all, his ancestor was a chef for a great salt merchant, and he had a lot of recipes at home. After all, whether it was ancient or modern times, money could do anything.

However, Huang Fei didn’t dare to make such a decision, so he could only promise.

“There’s no need for that. After all, it’s your family’s property. It can’t be seen unless you’re a master and disciple. There’s no need.” Master Cheng shook his head and said solemnly.

“Thank you for your understanding, master Cheng.” Hao Cheng said, a little embarrassed.

That’s right. Normally, they had more than one recipe of an ancient dish, but they only had one or two that belonged to them. The rest were taught by their Masters, so they naturally didn’t dare to give them to others casually.

Therefore, Hao Cheng heaved a sigh of relief and felt a little ashamed at the same time. It was because Yuan Zhou was very generous to let them watch and learn his cooking skills.

“It’s okay. Master doesn’t care about these small things. Master must have told you that as long as you go to the restaurant, you are a customer. ” Master Cheng said.

“Yes, I am.” The four of them nodded.

“So it’s fine as long as you don’t disturb my master.” Master Cheng said.

“Naturally, I wouldn’t dare.” The four of them nodded in unison.

“Then that’s fine.” “As for the rest of the matters,” master Cheng continued,”it’s master’s business to communicate with master hang and Master Huang. We don’t need to care about them.”

Hearing master Cheng’s words, the four people came back to their senses. It made sense. With Yuan Zhou’s current status, it was only a matter of minutes before he could communicate with their master or father. They didn’t need to worry about that at all.

“By the way, since that’s the case, will head chef Yuan accept our thank you gifts?” Hao Cheng asked worriedly.

“That’s right. I heard that head chef Yuan has never accepted gifts of gratitude from others.” Huang Fei said.

“I’ve also heard about it. ” Liu Li nodded.

Wang Qiang also nodded his head at the side. Then, he looked at master Cheng and waited for him to speak.

“It’s fine, just leave this to me. ” Master Cheng patted his chest and said straightforwardly,””When the time comes, give me the recipe and I’ll pass it to you.”

“Thank you very much, master Cheng.” Hao Cheng said gratefully.

“You’re welcome. We’re friends after all. ” Master Cheng stretched out his fan-like hand and patted Hao Cheng’s shoulder with a smile.

“Then, when the four of us are ready, we will send it directly to your restaurant, chef Cheng?” Huang Fei said.

“Sure.” Master Cheng nodded.

“See you next time.” Hao Cheng didn’t beat around the bush and directly bade farewell.

“Goodbye.” Master Cheng nodded his head and then watched the four of them leave.

When they reached the intersection where master Cheng could no longer be seen, Hao Cheng couldn’t help but move his shoulders and think,””This master Cheng’s hands are really strong.”

As for master Cheng, he just watched the four of them leave with a happy expression on his face. When he was about to enter the restaurant to find his master who had just finished breakfast, someone entered the restaurant before him.

The one who entered the restaurant was none other than Ling Hong, who hadn’t been to the restaurant since ruan Xiaoqing was hospitalized.

“You’re getting discharged?” As soon as Ling Hong entered the restaurant, Yuan Zhou asked him directly before he said anything.

“Yes,” Ling Hong nodded his head smilingly.

“You’re here to settle the bill?” Yuan Zhou said again.

“I remember that I paid for the takeaway.” Ling Hong said vigilantly.

“I’ve paid for the food, but I’ve been taking a taxi back and forth for the past few days. I’ll reimburse the travel expenses.” Yuan Zhou said primly.

“…” Ling Hong was speechless instantly.

Seeing Ling Hong choked, Yuan Zhou didn’t change his expression, but he was quite happy in the heart.

During the past few days, Yuan Zhou had been forced to listen to Ling Hong’s troubles about love every time he delivered food to him. Although he had Yin ya to protect him now, he could still make a joke as a friend.

“What’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou said again.

“It’s like this, Xiao Qing wants to treat you to a meal to thank you for visiting her. ” Speaking of the serious matter, Ling Hong put away his helpless expression and said seriously.

“Sure, when do you want to do it?” Yuan Zhou said.

“Because you’re one of the invited guests, so you can decide the time.” Ling Hong said.

“Then let’s do it at 8:30 tomorrow night.” Yuan Zhou thought for a second and then said.

“No problem,” he said. Ling Hong nodded his head.

“See you tomorrow night.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head at Ling Hong and then directly started to see him out.

“Thank you, Yuan Zhou,” Ling Hong didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Yuan Zhou seriously and then suddenly bowed slightly to Yuan Zhou.

“You’re welcome. You and Qing Zhu are the friends of me and Yin ya. ” Yuan Zhou didn’t stop Ling Hong, but said.

“Of course. Why else would I come to your restaurant to treat you?” Ling Hong said with a smile.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“I’m leaving. See you tomorrow night. I still have to go and meet other people.” Ling Hong turned around nimbly, waved his hand and walked out of the restaurant directly.

“Don’t forget to invite Wu Hai,” Yuan Zhou reminded him.

“I know. If it wasn’t for the crow beast, I’m afraid you wouldn’t even be able to keep the door here.” Ling Hong said helplessly with a headache.

“That’s right. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head approvingly.

“Ta, ta, ta.” The sound of Ling Hong’s footsteps soon faded away. Then, the figure of master Cheng appeared by the door.

The first thing Yuan Zhou said when he saw master Cheng was,””You’ve finished your homework for this month?”

Master Cheng instantly felt his back tighten. He had the same feeling as when he was a child, when he didn’t do his homework and faced his form teacher. The smugness of getting the recipe instantly disappeared.

“Master, I’m here today for something else.” Master Cheng said carefully.

“What’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou asked directly.

“I’ve found you a few more ancient recipes. ” Master Cheng said.

“Where did you get it?” With a slight frown, Yuan Zhou asked straightforwardly.

Yuan Zhou was worried that master Cheng would exchange something important for it.

“It was those four boys from Huaiyang who said they wanted to give it to you. I couldn’t stop them, so they forced it into my hands.” Master Cheng said without blushing or panting.

Of course. How could he possibly tell Yuan Zhou that he had hinted for them to come here? they had to have come here voluntarily.
