Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 729 Important Day

Lao Wang nodded. "After spending some time with her, I feel her passion and dedication to cooking. She is like a sponge, constantly absorbing nutrients and always maintaining a high morale, which is especially difficult for carbon-based organisms."

"I have taught her everything I could according to your request, but just yesterday, she came to me again and confessed her worries to me, saying that she had clearly been practicing hard as I asked, but she was still far from me.

"She vaguely sensed that there was something between us, and she hoped that I could open that door for her so that she could continue on her culinary path. As a cosmic chef, I couldn't refuse her request."

"Well, I have no objection to you taking in an apprentice, but what do the city managers say? Sun Mei and I are both native Earthlings. Logically, she shouldn't be exposed to things beyond common sense. But if she really becomes your apprentice, she will have to deal with all kinds of strange and exotic ingredients." Malu said, touching his chin.

"I have contacted the city manager. This is indeed not allowed under normal circumstances. However, when I told it that with Sun Mei's talent, it is very likely that she will grow into a cosmic chef in the future, and the Earth will have another cosmic chef, the city manager was willing to give us the green light after thinking about it."

"That's fine." Ma Lu said, "Let's go to the restaurant this afternoon. No, I'd better call Sun Mei now and ask her to come over. This way, I can tell her the good news earlier and let her recognize the ingredients in advance."

40 minutes later, Sun Mei appeared outside the villa.

It was her first time to visit Malu and Lao Wang's residence. She had heard from He Xiaoqian and Ma Youyou that Boss Ma's big house was very luxurious before. When she saw it this time, the exterior was indeed very grand.

And when she just came in, she noticed that the community was basically full of villas, with large areas of green plants around them, and the floor area ratio should be less than half.

Even if it is rented, the rent will not be too cheap. However, with the current turnover of the Universe Infinity Canteen, this amount of money should not be a big deal for Malu.

Of course, Sun Mei herself came from a family of chefs and had a restaurant at home, so she was not as surprised as He Xiaoqian. She looked away after a few seconds.

I walked up and pressed the doorbell, and soon the door was opened.

But when Sun Mei saw the person behind the door, he was stunned.

Because it was neither a millipede nor Lao Wang, but a wooden man.

The wooden man and Sun Mei stared at each other for a few seconds. Just when Sun Mei was wondering if he had taken the wrong path, Malu's voice came from the house.

"Hey, a guest is coming? You're not happy, you're not happy, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and bring the guest in."

The wooden man seemed to understand what was said. He stepped aside, bent down and gestured for Sun Mei to come in, then turned and walked towards the living room.

Sun Mei was stunned again, then quickly followed.

However, when I arrived at the living room, I still couldn't see Lao Wang and Malu. I waited for a while before I saw Malu coming out of the kitchen with a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses in his hand.

"You arrived quite early."

"Didn't you say you had something important to discuss with me? I took a taxi here the moment I received your call."

After Sun Mei finished speaking, he pointed at Bu Gaoxing and said, "And what's going on with this wooden man? Why can it understand your commands? Is it some new type of intelligent robot?"

"Uh... let's talk about this later. Please take a seat first. Today is a very special day. I am going to announce something very important next. But before that, I have to find my bottle opener first."

As Malu spoke, he placed the empty wine glass on the coffee table, then bent down to look for a bottle opener.

But Sun Mei said directly, "Okay, I do."

"Eh? What do you want? I haven't said anything yet." Malu paused and said in surprise. "You want me to date you, right? I know some tabloids have made up some fake news to attract attention, but I'm not a lesbian. I haven't had a boyfriend not because I like women, but because I hope my other half's cooking skills are better than mine, or at least equal to mine. Unfortunately, there are too few people who meet this requirement. You are one of them. After all, you beat me in the MasterChef competition."

"Ah this."

"Isn't it? I misunderstood."

"No, it's not a misunderstanding, but we can talk about dating later. There's one more thing."

"Anything else?"

"Old Wang is planning to take you in as his disciple." Malu didn't keep the secret any longer.

"Ah, Chef Wang wants to take me as his disciple?" Sun Mei had just sat down on the sofa, but immediately stood up again, his eyes widened.

"No, why do you seem to be happier to hear this news than to date me?"

"There's no contradiction between the two, and if I have to choose one, I'll definitely choose the second one. I've long wanted to watch Chef Wang cook up close, and I'm sure I'll learn a lot."

When Sun Mei said this, his eyes lit up, filled with beautiful expectations for the future.

"Okay, I know you love cooking, but..." Malu changed the subject.

"But what? Oh, are you worried that I will open a new restaurant to compete with you after I finish my apprenticeship? That's okay. We can sign an agreement. After I finish my apprenticeship, I will work in your restaurant for 10 years, no, 15 years."

"Oh, I'm not worried about that. It doesn't matter if you open your own store in the future."

What Malu said was sincere. City B was very big and could easily accommodate two high-end restaurants. As for those special diners, even if Sun Mei really became the chef of the universe and opened his own restaurant one day, they would still have to come to him to purchase ingredients.

The desktop farm has now been upgraded by Millipede. The growth rate of the ingredients in it has long exceeded the rate of consumption. It would be a good idea to exchange some of them for star coins.

Of course, since Sun Mei took the initiative to propose to continue working in the Universe Infinity Canteen, Malu would not refuse. It just so happened that the Universe Infinity Canteen was still short of a sous chef.

His original plan was to let Sun Mei work in the restaurant for three to five years, and then it would be up to her whether to stay or leave.

Having gone off topic, Malu returned to the subject and continued, "I'm not worried about the competition. You can't compete with me. I just want to say that becoming a disciple may be a little different from what you imagine."

"I can understand that many chefs have strange tempers. There are many rules for accepting apprentices, but don't worry, no matter how difficult it is, I will abide by them." Sun Mei said seriously.

"That's not what I meant. Forget it, come to the kitchen and see for yourself." Malu looked strange.

Sun Mei frowned slightly, but still followed Malu into the kitchen.

This villa was carefully selected by Malu. The kitchen is also very large, more than 30 square meters, which makes it convenient for Lao Wang to prepare food.

When the two of them entered the door, Lao Wang was busy peeling fish.
