Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Now the Madam Can’t Do It
The result of trying was creating a complete mess out of an originally orderly kitchen, and finally, she got kicked out of the Michelin restaurant!
Song Song stood outside feeling a bit bewildered because those people’s attitude was as if she had committed a huge mistake. "...Xing Quan, can you see why they act like this? It’s just a little kitchen mishap, right? I was willing to clean up for them! Was there really a need for such fierce anger?"
"Honestly!"
Xing Quan felt particularly awkward, scratching his head, "Madam, this isn’t just any restaurant. Michelin restaurants are notoriously strict about cooking. Originally, I told them... our lady is super talented at cooking, so they were very excited, but I didn’t expect you—"
"Madam, have you really forgotten entirely how to cook? Or were you just too nervous with so many people watching, so you didn’t perform your best?"
How different this is from before!
He remembered that whenever Madam cooked in the past, it was as if she shone, and those hands truly could turn the mundane into magic.
But now... alas! It’s incomparable.
Just now was a complete chaos, fumbling around randomly.
Song Song also realized she might not have a standing to be angry because she really did mess up their kitchen, and it would probably take some time to clean before they could continue cooking. Thinking about it, she felt quite apologetic.
But now she’s more worried about another thing. Isn’t some person still waiting for her to make him something to eat?
Now...
"Xing Quan, I’m not going back with you, I’ll just disappear, is that OK?"
Song Song suddenly wanted to retreat.
Xing Quan roughly guessed her thoughts, "Madam, it’s alright, President Xiao definitely won’t blame you. Actually, President Xiao is facing a really tricky issue right now, and I previously suggested you could help, but he rejected it, alas!"
"Ah! What kind of help? Please tell me, if possible, I will surely do my best."
She didn’t expect she could still be of help to him, could she?
Xing Quan said with some dejection, "It seems unlikely now, because Madam genuinely doesn’t know how to cook. The previous Madam probably could have."
"..." This was really a harsh truth for Song Song!
She was stunned for a moment, "Was the previous me really that amazing? I mean in cooking."
"Of course! The dishes Madam made felt warm, and obviously tasted super good, but they also made people remember instantly—"
"Hmm?" Song Song didn’t quite understand this description, "Why instantly memorable? There should be lots of good food, right? Did I add some secret ingredient?"
The more she thought, the more confused she felt!
But now she truly couldn’t even make a decent bowl of fried rice.
Xing Quan pondered for a moment before saying, "I think the food Madam made wasn’t just superficially good. Compared to other top chefs, Madam’s cooking... seemed alive, as if it had a soul."
"Pfft—"
Song Song couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t scare me, you’re making it sound quite spooky."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft! Madam, that’s not what I meant, I meant Madam’s dishes had emotions, unlike regular chefs who only pursue taste quality without putting their heartfelt love into it."
Xing Quan hurriedly explained.
Song Song smiled, "It’s okay, you’re so anxious, but what should I do now? I really don’t know anything..."
As she finished speaking, she saw a crowd of people gathered on the street.
Curious, Song Song ran over too. Squeezing into the circle, she saw a man kneeling on one knee...
