Mr. He picked up the tea cup, skimmed off the foam on it, took a sip of hot tea and said.

"If it's because of Guiyuanrou, then I should be the one who comes to ask you for advice."

"However, according to my estimation, old man, Miss Ayao came here today for other reasons, right?"

"To be honest, I didn't expect Miss Ayao to return to Fuchun Restaurant so simply. I admire her spirit."

"As long as I can help, just say it."

Cheng Yao raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn't expect that Mr. He also knew about the fact that she was taken away by Gong Sun Yue.

"Did Mr. He find out the clues at that time?"

He Lao put down the tea cup, stretched out his hand to play with the flowers and plants on the side, and answered casually.

"I'm just older, it's not like my eyesight is bad."

"Although there were a lot of people at that time and the opponent's movements were fast, I was standing not far from you, and in the blink of an eye you disappeared."

"Can't I still discover the strangeness in it?"

"I've seen so many things outside that I almost know what's going on without even thinking about it."

"I originally thought that you might be swayed by the other party's inducement. After all, people spend their whole lives fighting for fame and fortune, but I didn't expect that you would actually choose the same thing as the other little girl said. came back."

"Not only do you have superb craftsmanship, but you also have an indifferent state of mind than others. There are not many people in the younger generation who can reach this state. Old man, I also admire you very much."

After being praised by Mr. He, Cheng Yao was not proud and complacent, but touched her head with some embarrassment.

"I didn't think it was that complicated. I just felt that since I had promised someone else and made a promise, there was no reason to break the contract halfway."

"Money, fame and fortune that others value are not the first priority for me."

"I feel that to be a human being, you must first live a happy life. Sometimes when you have too many things, it's hard to make a choice. Instead of looking forward and backward and being complacent, it's better to live a simple and wanton life."

"Although I talk about money every day, when I really think about it, what I want is not those countless yellow and white things. I don't need too much, as long as it can meet my needs, it will be enough. ”

"I have a lot of choices, but Fu Lingling pinned all her hopes on me, so I can't and won't let her down."

After such a long conversation, Cheng Yao's mouth was a little thirsty, so she picked up the tea cup and drank a cup.

After drinking all the tea, I tasted something different when I returned to the cup.

Seeing her free and heroic appearance, Mr. He couldn't help but stroke his beard and laughed.

"I see that you are quite righteous, but my tea is a bit wasted."

"You swallowed such good tea in a gulp. I feel so sorry for it."

"You know, this tea, on weekdays, when there are no guests coming, I would be reluctant to drink it myself."

Mr. He smiled and joked a few words, which made Cheng Yao feel a little embarrassed.

"I don't know much about tea, so I will send you some good tea to apologize."

As He Lao was old, he naturally wouldn't care too much about Cheng Yao, a junior. It was just a joke and he didn't take it seriously.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore and let's get down to business."

"Why did you come to visit me specially today?"

When it came to serious matters, Cheng Yao immediately suppressed the extra smile on her face and became more formal. "He Lao, I promised Fu Lingling before that I would help her revitalize the Fuchun Restaurant. According to my plan and actual feedback, it is not a big problem."

"However, according to my original plan, I will not live in Yuecheng for a long time. In other words, Yuecheng is just my transit station, not the terminal station."

"I will stay here for about a month. When the time is right, I will leave."

"But Fuchun Restaurant has finally regained its vitality. Naturally, I can't withdraw directly. I have to pave the way for it in the future."

Hearing this, Mr. He had roughly guessed what Cheng Yao wanted to see him for today.

"Do you want me to join Fuchun Restaurant and take charge of the restaurant after you leave?"

"But I'm old. I've been cooking for dignitaries in Kyoto for most of my life. I finally returned to my hometown. Now that I'm asked to wear armor and go into battle, I'm really not up to my ability."

"Besides, to put it bluntly, I'm used to seeing big winds and waves. The small restaurants in the city this month really don't arouse my interest."

It was completely within Cheng Yao's expectation that Mr. He would say this.

However, since she would come to the door today, she was naturally fully prepared.

"Mr. He, I understand your thoughts and concerns."

"You are getting older, so of course I don't dare to ask you to continue working. It's just that Fuchun Restaurant needs a decent helmsman who can control the situation."

"Only if you are in charge can we ensure that Fuchun Restaurant will not decline too seriously after I leave."

Cheng Yao's words made Mr. He a little confused. He didn't do Tai Chi and asked straight to the point.

"My old man doesn't understand what you are saying, so let's break it down and explain it in detail."

Cheng Yao sorted out the thoughts in her mind and spoke out her thoughts.

"This is my plan. I will release the news tomorrow that I will recruit disciples in Yuecheng to attract new blood to Fuchun Restaurant."

"And Mr. He, you are the teacher who teaches with me."

"Experience in this industry is a very valuable asset. During the teaching process, Mr. He can answer everyone's questions in a timely manner."

"In this month, I will teach most of my recipes to the apprentices. The time is short and the tasks are heavy. Naturally, they cannot learn it 100%, but they will be able to learn it 50% to 60%. Plus He Lao's later stage It’s not a big problem if you think about the training.”

He Lao suddenly realized that this was what Cheng Yao had in mind.

"I understand what you mean, but what does it gain me if I do things for you?"

Seeing He Lao's probing eyes, Cheng Yao smiled politely and threw out her chips.

"Of course, if I ask you to help me, I won't give you any benefit at all."

"The condition I can offer is to complete the fragment of the scroll that you got when you were young, and add a few dishes with hidden secrets to express my gratitude."

"I wonder if this condition can convince you, Mr. He?"

Cheng Yao was neither humble nor arrogant, advancing and retreating in a measured manner, quietly waiting for He Lao's reply.

Hearing this, Mr. He's calm eyes also showed ripples.

This condition is indeed somewhat tempting to him...

"make a deal!"
