The day of the intense competition passed just like that. The two sides of the competition acted as if this competition day had never happened. An incident that was originally very likely to fall out ended.
Shao 'an, one of the people involved, woke up early from his sleep and headed to the kitchen as usual. The kitchen, which should have been empty, had an uninvited guest. Shao' an was surprised that someone had arrived in the kitchen earlier than him. In his haziness, he could still see the person's face clearly. This person was actually Chen Sanliang.
Chen Sanliang looked exhausted. It was obvious that he did not rest well last night, but his fatigue could not hide the joy in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Chen, you're really early today.”Shao 'an greeted Chen Sanliang.
Chen Sanliang's body trembled violently when he heard this. It was obvious that he was shocked by Shao 'an's sudden appearance.
"So it's Shao 'an. You really gave me a fright. You came to the kitchen to practice so early!”Chen Sanliang had an expression of understanding.
"I go to the kitchen at this time every day. But Senior Brother Chen, you seem a little special today.”Shao 'an said.
When Chen Sanliang heard this, he immediately revealed a look of admiration. So this was the reason why Shao 'an had improved so quickly. As expected, he was still slacking off normally, Chen Sanliang thought.
"Aren't I learning from Chef Niu?”Chen Sanliang looked like he had found the trick.
"Learn from my master? What do you mean?" Shao 'an was confused.
"Don't you know? Is it Chef Niu's struggle?" Chen Sanliang said in surprise.
"My master's history of struggle? I really haven't heard him mention this before. Can you tell me? I also want to know more about my master's history.”Shao 'an asked curiously.
"Alright, I'll tell you." Chen Sanliang readily agreed.
"My master told me about this. He said that Chef Niu was a dull young man with no aptitude back then. At that time, their master would scold Chef Niu every day. In order to get his master's approval, Chef Niu woke up early and went into the dark every day to train his cooking skills... Finally, I have today's achievements." Shao 'an could clearly see the efforts of a dull youth in Chen Sanliang's description, but the main character in the story was not Chef Niu but Chef Ma.
"After hearing about Chef Niu's history of struggle, I realized how lazy I was in the past. So, I'm going to imitate Chef Niu and become an excellent chef from now on.”Chen Sanliang's words were full of admiration for Chef Niu.
"That's not right! My master told me about this, but the main character in the story is Chef Ma! He said that when they were learning to cook together, Chef Ma was lazy and greedy. In the end, after his master gave him the ultimatum that if he didn't work hard, he would get lost. The struggle history you mentioned just now was what he did after working hard.”Shao An revealed Chef Ma's dark history to Chen Sanliang.
The two of them fell silent at the same time. After a long time, the two of them spoke again.
"Could it be that there are not just one but two main characters in the story? If that's the case, it makes sense.”
※※※
Twenty years ago, Chef Niu and Chef Ma were already in the kitchen when they were young, just like Shao An and Chen Sanliang were now.
"Ma Fugui, I was in the kitchen earlier than you today.”Niu Dahai proudly showed off to Ma Fugui.
"Tsk, Niu Dahai, you just stepped into the kitchen before me. What are you so proud of? I think you'll be scolded by Master again today.”Ma Fugui was not convinced.
"Humph! I've already prepared the topic that Master left behind yesterday. Today, I definitely won't be scolded by Master as an idiot. However, you can't explain it clearly.”Niu Dahai was full of confidence.
"Niu Dahai, didn't you say that you had done your homework that day? But you weren't scolded by Master that time.”Ma Fugui mocked.
After the sun rose, the two teenagers had already finished their basic practice. When the sunlight shone through the gap in the door and window into the kitchen, the two of them could not help but start to feel nervous.
"Master is coming, right?" Niu Dahai felt uneasy.
"Mas... Master... Fu will definitely be here." Ma Fugui gulped and stuttered.
The kitchen door was finally pushed open. The two young masters strode into the kitchen. He looked at his two nervous disciples with a straight face.
"Let's begin!" he said.
After receiving the instructions, the two of them immediately began to choose the ingredients to cook. This was their daily homework.
When the two of them placed their completed homework in front of the serious middle-aged man, the tension became even stronger.
The middle-aged man put down the chopsticks in his hand and tapped the table rhythmically.
"Yesterday's homework…" the middle-aged man said.
The two teenagers were extremely nervous.
"Terrible! Are you two idiots? What was this! Could such a thing be eaten? Is this how I taught you?" The middle-aged man roared at the two of them.
Hearing the middle-aged man's roar, the two of them relaxed instead.
"As expected, I was scolded." The two of them thought at the same time.
Such days were repeated every day. Ten years later, the two of them once again placed their homework in front of their teacher in fear. This time, they finally did not get scolded again.
"That's right. It seems like I have nothing more to teach you.”
The two of them were stunned. They even suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.
"Master, what did you say?" The two of them asked.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? You guys have graduated."
It wasn't until they became the top chefs of the North-South Restaurant that they finally understood why their teacher always scolded them every day. It wasn't because they didn't complete their homework well enough, but because he hoped that they could always maintain the momentum of their specialization.
Now that it was finally their turn to become masters, the methods of their masters naturally had to be passed down. Therefore,
"Are you two idiots? What the hell is this?!" Chef Niu and Chef Ma roared at their disciples.
