Chapter 265: Small-minded and Stubborn

Today is Ye Jiayao’s first class after the chef training class started.

The other teachers were very direct in teaching the cooking skills they were best at, and the students benefited greatly from them.

But Ye Jiayao didn't plan to do that. In ancient times, transportation and information were developed, and everything from the north to the south, from ancient times to the present, from China to the West, could be seen at a glance. But the chefs of this era are not so lucky. Some people can only cook the few dishes taught by their masters all their lives. Those who are a little more flexible and can use their brains are limited by their vision and experience, and it is difficult for them to achieve great things.

So, in the first class, she wants to broaden everyone's horizons and tell everyone about the current cuisine factions, what are the characteristics of each, and what are the main dishes?

All this knowledge is very basic to her, but in this era, it is shocking. No one has ever been able to explain Chinese food culture in such a systematic, objective and comprehensive way, making everyone feel that the industry they are engaged in is so important, and there is a sense of sudden enlightenment, excitement and joy after the epiphany.

Lu Xiaotian also came here to attend the class today. The more he listened, the more engrossed he became, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

After the opening ceremony that day, he had been thinking about what Ye Jiayao said, and was ready to organize the vegetarian diet in a systematic way, leaving it to future generations and promoting it. However, after listening to the class today, he realized that Ye Jiayao was not just talking big, she had already started to organize it.

Moreover, he knew very well how difficult it was to compile so much information. Different professions are like mountains and different schools are like oceans. Different culinary factions are very secretive about their own cooking skills and are unwilling to teach each other easily. Moreover, each faction thinks that its own faction is the best and most powerful, and they look down on other factions, let alone learn other factions' dishes.

It is a great progress that she can break this closed and outdated concept.

No wonder she easily won the last Sichuan chef challenge, and no wonder her Tianshangju can constantly launch new dishes and easily capture the stomachs of customers. It turns out that she is not only good at Huaiyang cuisine, but also has in-depth knowledge of other cuisines.

It's really not easy. She is a woman, but she has done what no man can do.

Ye Jiayao was speaking with great joy on the stage, unaware that her classmate Lu Xiaotian was already filled with emotion below the stage.

Finally, Ye Jiayao said, "In the next class, we will learn some authentic northern dishes. We should learn from the strengths of many schools and constantly innovate. I believe you can all do it."

"Awesome, really awesome..." Duan Qilin on the side exclaimed with emotion.

"We just teach people how to do it, but she teaches them how to create. That's amazing..."

Lu Xiaotian nodded in agreement. Duan Qilin hit the nail on the head. People have different perspectives, so they think and do different things. The more he got to know her, the more shallow he felt himself to be.

After Ye Jiayao finished her lecture, the audience burst into applause. Although they didn't learn a single dish today, everyone felt that they had gained the most today.

The students sitting next to Cui Dongpeng and Wang Mingde all looked at them with envy. These two guys were so lucky to work under Manager Ye.

Cui Dongpeng and Wang Mingde felt the envious gazes from those around them, and they straightened their backs even more, feeling extremely proud.

Ye Jiayao stepped down from the podium and went into the lounge with Lu Xiaotian and others.

Lu Xiaotian personally poured her a cup of tea.

"Every word that Shopkeeper Ye said is thought-provoking. I have benefited a lot from it!"

Duan Qilin, who rarely praises others, said: "Shopkeeper Ye, after listening to your class, I feel that I have been a chef for more than 20 years in vain."

Ye Jiayao was ashamed: "Manager Duan, are you making fun of me? In fact, the Huaiyang cuisine I cook is definitely not as authentic as yours, and my cooking skills are not as exquisite as yours. It's just that I like to come up with new tricks, and everyone likes to support me."

Lu Xiaotian sneered: "It's just your new trick. We can't learn it no matter how hard we try."

It is easy to say that innovation is the way to go, but you will know how difficult it is when you do it.

Ye Jiayao was really embarrassed, and felt like she was cheating. Well, she cheated, she wasn't doing it all for personal fame and gain. Promoting Chinese food culture was something her grandfather and father always talked about. She had heard it since she was a child, and it was ingrained in her. She didn't know how far she could go, but she had to do it.

Xia Chunyu was upset by Jin Yao's behavior and didn't want to read the book anymore.

So he asked Song Qi to harness the carriage and go directly to the training class to pick her up.

When they arrived there, it was not yet time, so Xia Chunyu did not go in. He just sat in the carriage and waited, occasionally lifting the curtain to look out.

After waiting for a long time, I saw Yaoyao and Lu Xiaotian come out.

The two chatted for a few words at the door, and Yaoyao was smiling happily. However, the look in Lu Xiaotian's eyes when he looked at Yaoyao made Xia Chunyu unhappy.

How to describe that look? Focused and gentle, those clear eyes seemed to contain too many things.

It is said that women have sharp intuition, and men's intuition is equally good. In short, he doesn't like other men staring at his Yaoyao like this.

Ye Jiayao exchanged a few pleasantries, and when she looked up, she saw her own carriage. She said goodbye to Lu Xiaotian and walked over.

"Song Qi, when did you come?"

Song Qi smiled and said, "Second Young Madam, you should ask the Young Master. I didn't check the time."

Ye Jiayao glared at him and got on the carriage.

As soon as I got into the carriage, I was pulled into someone's arms, and fell into his lap. Then, he kissed me passionately.

This kiss was passionate and deep, as if it was declaring sovereignty with such determination and violence that she could hardly breathe. She wanted to protest but was afraid that Song Qi and Qiao Xi would hear her outside, so she could only push him with her hands. It would have been fine if she hadn't pushed him, but once she pushed him, he got even more excited. After a long time, Xia Chunyu finally let her go, panting a little. There seemed to be a faint fire in his dark eyes, and he just stared at her straight.

Ye Jiayao's lips hurt, and she complained in a low voice: "Why are you pushing so hard? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Her red lips were slightly swollen from his kisses, and because of the moisture, they looked particularly tender, making people want to taste them again and again.

The food she cooks is delicious, but in fact, she herself is the most beautiful food.

"Keep some distance from Lu Xiaotian in the future." Xia Chunyu said in a low voice, gritting his teeth.

Ye Jiayao was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Are you jealous?"

He had warned her to stay away from Xiao Jing before, and he had the same expression. But Lu Xiaotian was a married man, and he was a gentleman, so how could he have any bad thoughts about her? Ye Jiayao felt that Chunyu's jealousy was a little strange.

But Xia Chunyu didn't laugh: "I'm serious."

Ye Jiayao smiled and rolled her eyes at him: "You are so jealous for no reason. He and I are just friends, just like me and Lao Zhao and the others."

Xia Chunyu twitched his lips and said with a fake smile: "Old Zhao likes men, but I am sure that Lu Xiaotian likes women."

Uh... okay, but she still has to say: "Lu Xiaotian is not the kind of person you think, he is a gentleman."

Xia Chunyu sneered, "It won't work even if he thinks about it."

"You don't have the ability to read minds? How can you know what he is thinking?" Ye Jiayao said with a smile.

Xia Chunyu said seriously: "Eyes, when you like someone, the way you look at him will be different, it will shine, I am very good at judging people."

Ye Jiayao thought about it. Was there any? Why didn't she see it?

However, this guy's jealous look was quite funny, and since she was in a good mood today, Ye Jiayao agreed with him: "Okay, I'll be more careful next time."

Xia Chunyu said angrily: "If I had known, I wouldn't have let you be a teacher."

Ye Jiayao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are you done yet? You are just narrow-minded."

Xia Chunyu admitted generously: "Yes, I am very narrow-minded, just like you."

Ye Jiayao couldn't help but glared at him fiercely: "Who is like you? I never get jealous."

Xia Chunyu disagreed: "You just grew up smelling jealous. Who is more jealous than you?"

Speechless, Ye Jiayao decided to ignore him.

As soon as she tensed up her face, Xia Chunyu softened. He hugged her and said pitifully, "You are so good, anyone with eyes will like you. I have a sense of crisis, afraid that you will be snatched away by others..."

Oh, he actually lowered his posture so low? The always proud and conceited Prince Jing'an, who never took others seriously, actually said that he had a sense of crisis. It was incredible.

Well, seeing that he was so sincere, Ye Jiayao held back her laughter, hugged his neck, and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, you are narrow-minded, and I am stubborn. Who made me fall in love with you? I can't escape even if I want to."

The orchid-like scent sprayed on his ears, making him feel itchy. Such gentle and soft words made his heart stir.

He lowered his head and kissed her lips gently and slowly, saying in a hoarse and ambiguous voice: "Even if you run away to the ends of the earth, I will bring you back."

The temperature in the carriage continued to rise, and both of them had flushed faces and their breathing became unstable.

No, no, if this goes on, there will be an accidental discharge of the gun.

Ye Jiayao tried to maintain her last bit of clarity and pushed him away: "Stay away from me."

Xia Chunyu chuckled and said, "Stay away from you, I'll sit on the roof?"

"Okay, it's cool up there, just the right amount to cool you down." Ye Jiayao couldn't help laughing as she thought about someone sitting on the roof of the car. What a funny scene!
When the carriage arrived at the farm, Ye Jiayao was stunned by the scene before her.

This is too fast! The roof of the house is almost finished.

When Manager Zhao saw the Young Master and the Second Young Lady coming, he hurried out to greet them and took them around.

Xia Chunyu held Ye Jiayao's hand. The construction site was in a mess, with wood and tiles everywhere, and the road was difficult to walk on.

"Be careful with your step, or I'll carry you." Seeing how hard it was for her to walk with her skirt lifted, Xia Chunyu wanted to just carry her.

Ye Jiayao blushed and whispered, "Don't come on, I don't want to be laughed at."

"What are you laughing at? It's perfectly legal for me to carry my wife on my back." Xia Chunyu said disapprovingly. To be honest, he had never carried her on his back before!
