Chapter 282 - His Ambition Was Not High
“If that's the case, could today's esteemed visitor be the enigmatic culinary Grandmaster who recently joined our ranks yet has never shown his face?”
Xue Zixi acknowledged the eager eyes of the crowd with a nod.
A wave of excitement swept through the group.
“Miss, I'm in, I'm definitely staying!”
“And I'm staying as well!”
......
When the self-proclaimed master chefs heard they were to assist a culinary Grandmaster, their faces lit up with delight, and they jostled to remain.
Though they were master chefs in their own right, the opportunity to serve as the Grandmaster's assistants was an honor they couldn't pass up!
To learn even a single technique from the Grandmaster could give them a glimpse into the Grandmaster's realm of expertise.
This was like a pie falling from the sky—they weren't about to let it pass them by!
Xue Zixi watched as the crowd's demeanor transformed, a smile gracing her lips.
Was this what they called a true change of heart?
Just then, a voice cut through the chatter, grabbing everyone's attention.
“Miss Xue?”
Chef Lin gave Jiang Hao a few extra looks before he couldn't contain himself any longer, his voice tinged with uncertainty as he turned to Xue Zixi.
“Miss Xue, is it possible that this gentleman is the Grandmaster we've heard about?”
All at once, the gazes of the culinary masters fixed on Xue Zixi, eagerly awaiting her confirmation.
Xue Zixi quickly caught on and gestured towards Jiang Hao as she introduced him to the group.
“Indeed, this is the enigmatic culinary Grandmaster who has recently joined our Heavenly-Mansion Tavern, Mr. Jiang!”
“Let's give him a warm welcome!”
Leading by example, Xue Zixi started clapping. The reactions from the master chefs were a mix of skepticism, astonishment, and outright disbelief.
They scrutinized Jiang Hao, coming to the unanimous conclusion that he couldn't possibly be older than twenty.
A Grandmaster under twenty?
Could such a thing even be conceivable?
It was beyond belief for them.
“Miss Xue, you're not pulling our leg, are you?”
“This gentleman appears to be under twenty. How could he possibly be a Grandmaster chef?”
Chef Lin was convinced Miss Xue was playing a prank on them. And he wasn't alone; the other master chefs, too, regarded Jiang Hao's youthful appearance as the punchline to some elaborate international joke.
Jiang Hao, witnessing their doubts, showed no sign of offense.
