Chapter 117: Who Doesn’t Admire Such A Talent?

Under Lu Sheng’s instructions, He Zhang finished preparing dinner.

Tomato scrambled eggs, stir-fried river prawns, braised chicken with potatoes, crab roe tofu, Dongpo meat, winter melon pork ribs soup, a dish of steamed chicken, and a sauce prepared by Lu Sheng.

Looking at the table full of dishes, He Zhang, who was usually quiet, could not help but sigh. “I didn’t expect Lu Sheng to know so many things about food.”

Although he was the one who cooked the dishes, he completed them under Lu Sheng’s instructions.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “To be honest, I want to open a restaurant in town.”

She looked at He Zhang and said, “I think your culinary skills are good. When the time comes, can you be my chef?”

She was very busy and probably could not stay in the restaurant forever.

She had previously decided to find a reliable chef to prepare the seasoning recipe she created.

Now that she thought about it, no one was more reliable than her uncle.

“Yes.”

Before He Zhang could speak, He Hu said, “We’re family. He has nothing to do at home, so let him help.”

He Zhang was silent for a while before nodding. “Okay.”

Ever since his wife passed away five years ago, he had quit his job to take care of his two children.

Being a chef was his dream. It was a pity that he had left Tian Xiang Restaurant before finishing his apprenticeship. This made him very regretful.

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. “That’s decided then. When my restaurant opens, Uncle will become my chef.”

He Zhang nodded.

“Can I go and do odd jobs? I don’t need the money. I just need food,” He Lai said with a smile.

Speaking of the town, He Hu could not help but frown. “I wonder when the town gate will open again.”

“Yes!” He Lai pouted. “I only returned home for a while. I can’t go back to school now. It’s been a few days.”

“What? The town gate isn’t open? What happened?”

Mdm Xu and He Zhang had just returned from their brother’s place and were unaware of the situation in town.

He Dong said, “I heard from our teacher that an inn caught fire and more than ten people died. One of them was a big shot. In order to find the murderer, the officials closed the town gate. They can’t enter or leave now.”

“If we don’t go to town, how will the people buy wood, rice, oil, and salt?” Mdm Xu frowned. “Even if they want to find the murderer, they can’t do this.”

In order to find the murderer, the lives of citizens were affected. The officials were too rash.

“According to our teacher, it will open the next day.”

He Dong took some bowls and chopsticks for Lu Jiang and Lu Xin before continuing, “It seems like Lord Chu is coming.”

Lord Chu was coming? Was it Chu Sihan?

Lu Sheng’s heart trembled. She had not seen him for a long time.

“How did you know?” He Lai was curious.

“Our teacher said so.” He Dong looked at him and said, “Uncle, you should be able to return to class tomorrow.”

He Lai sighed softly. “If only I could see Lord Chu once!”

Lu Sheng’s eyebrow raised. “You admire Lord Chu a lot?”

“Of course!”

He Lai proudly said, “He has fought for our Huang Yang Town. He became a county scholar at the age of twelve, a provincial scholar at fifteen, a top scholar at sixteen, and a magistrate at eighteen. Who doesn’t admire such a talent?”

To the teachers and students, Chu Sihan was like a god.

“So he’s that powerful!” Lu Sheng mumbled to herself.

“Yeah!”

He Lai said, “I also heard that Lord Chu is extremely handsome.”

Lu Sheng nodded in agreement. “He’s indeed very handsome.”

When she spoke, everyone at the table looked at her immediately.
