Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 744 - 376: Four Happiness Rolls 3
The answer was already in their hearts, but they just didn’t want to believe it.
Zheng Da was very clear about his strengths and weaknesses. If, at the very start, he really had the idea of deceiving Qin Huai, this apprentice, before he had seen the world, once he understood what kind of person Qin Huai was and truly witnessed Qin Huai’s talent, that idea disappeared.
He felt this idea was too despicable. Sometimes he even felt he was unworthy of being Qin Huai’s master.
But he really wanted to be Qin Huai’s master. The pearl would not be covered in dust, but at the very least, he, Zheng Da, was the first to wipe off the dust.
Zheng Da had never thought that the term "appreciation for talent" could appear in connection with him.
After all, Zheng Da’s reputation in the Chef circle had never been very good over the years. Mentioning him would associate him with merchants reeking of money. Master Zhou from Zhiwei Restaurant never liked Zheng Da very much, until Zheng Da reformed the recipes these past two years, mass-producing snacks that couldn’t be mass-produced before, and selling mid-range snacks at low-end prices, which bankrupted many mediocre snack shops. From a certain perspective, only after tidying up the industry did Master Zhou start to regard Zheng Da differently.
Of course, Master Zhou still didn’t like Zheng Da very much. He felt that if Zheng Da worked earnestly as a pastry chef, he could certainly become famous globally, and earn not much less than he did now, given his sharp mind capable of making money in any field.
Simply put, Master Zhou just disliked Zheng Da’s laziness.
Zheng Da never cared about this over the years. He never expected to make a big name for himself in the culinary world. Every year during the New Year, when he burned paper for his master, Zheng Da would confess his guilt for not shining brightly in the culinary world as a beloved disciple to his master.
It was only after meeting Qin Huai that Zheng Da truly entertained the idea of returning to the culinary world.
Of course, it was only just an idea.
After being lazy for so many years, Zheng Da simply couldn’t bring himself to be diligent again.
Knowing something in your heart and actually confronting it are two different things. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
When Zheng Siyuan told Zheng Da that it seemed Qin Huai might have another master, one who was more serious and responsible, more capable, more selfless, and more suitable to be Qin Huai’s master, and even had many recipes and secrets, Zheng Da’s initial reaction was one of disbelief.
After all, he was the one who first discovered this pearl.
Seeing the pearl doing better naturally made Zheng Da happy, but there was also a bit of reluctance.
He especially wanted to ask the pearl, "Is your Bo Le treating you well now? Is it really that good? Is it truly that good?"
He also wanted to ask the pearl, "When you see me, will you still call me Master Zheng?"
With such complicated feelings, Zheng Da arrived at the high-speed rail station an hour early to organize his thoughts for a whole hour.
Then he saw Qin Huai dragging a suitcase, waving and smiling at him as he walked towards him.
"Master Zheng!" His pearl called to him with a familiar tone.
At that moment, Zheng Da felt a mix of emotions.
"Master Zheng, I heard you can make Four Happiness Rolls. I’ve recently become very interested in this snack. Do you have time to guide me during this period?"
Zheng Da: ?!
Four Happiness Rolls!
At that moment, many unpleasant memories surged into Zheng Da’s heart. He recalled the painful memories of confidently making the Four Happiness Rolls in his early years, only to fail miserably, being secretly mocked by neighbors, and being questioned by his family back home about how he could ruin the Four Happiness Rolls during the New Year.
Oh, this damned thankless snack, it looks so simple, yet is so difficult to make.
Who, who revealed that he knew how to make Four Happiness Rolls?
Over the years, he made them secretly at home during the New Year, not even telling Huang Shengli.
Zheng Da immediately turned his gaze towards his biological son, Zheng Siyuan.
Zheng Siyuan calmly said, "On the high-speed rail, Qin Huai casually asked, and I just said that dad, you could make it."
"You could make it all along, and I couldn’t."
Qin Huai, who never fights without preparation, specifically pretended to nonchalantly mention this snack on the high-speed rail, then got the answer he wanted from Zheng Siyuan.
Zheng Da: Ungrateful child!
