Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

No, no, no, this problem is obviously very serious!

While Xiaolizhi was happily wiping her mouth with a tissue, Yuzhe quietly called the maid over.

And asked in a low voice.

"Does Aunt Elisa know that your young lady tastes food in this way?"

"Reporting to Young Master Su... Madam knows everything. At first, she shook her head, but she said that until a more suitable job is found for the young lady, maintaining this situation to give her confidence is good. We think so too... If we discourage her, she'll just..."

She used to just laze around in bed, but this purposeful life is much better for her.

Isn't that great?

But it's only slightly better than lying in bed and wasting time!

Hey!

Aunt Elisa spoils her, the maids in the Ouyang family spoil her, and Xiaomeng might choose to spoil her too.

But Yu Zhe is the one person we absolutely cannot spoil anymore!

This isn't doing her any good; it's harming her!

Excessive pampering will only turn geniuses into mediocre ones and ordinary people into even more ordinary ones.

Make the little idiot... uh, even dumber?

Not only are they stupid, they're also arrogant!

Yu Zhe coughed twice, interrupting Xiao Lizhi's smug state after finishing her evaluation.

Little Lychee came to her senses and couldn't wait to get up and go up to Yu Zhe to ask him.

"Brother Yuzhe, did you see that! If I wanted to do something, I could do it! Hehe... Doesn't this deserve some praise?"

"..."

Sorry to dampen your spirits when you're so happy.

But Little Lychee, you need to know... this is really for your own good.

"Little Lychee, if I tell you the truth now, will you listen? Or do you want to hear flattering lies?"

"?"

Little Lychee looked stunned.

Her brain capacity might not be sufficient to help her figure out why Yu Zhe suddenly asked that question.

But answering the question directly is enough!

"That's definitely true... you have to listen to the truth. Lies are useless; they only lead people astray and make them go further astray. That's what my mother told me."

"Very good, you understand it very well."

With the prerequisites met, Yu Zhe can now freely choose to expose the truth.

Under the worried gazes of Xiaomeng and the many maids.

Yu Zhe took a deep breath, stood up, and slapped Xiao Lizhi on the head with a chop!

"You idiot! Can't you watch more food review videos? Do you see other people evaluating food by simply saying whether it's good or bad? There are technical terms involved! Tsk tsk, don't lose yourself in a sea of ​​praise, wake up, kid!"

"!!"

Mouth open!

These days, the stiff praise from her mother and the maids echoed in Xiaolizhi's mind once again.

Hearing Yu Zhe's words, she immediately realized what was going on!

Got it...

"I understand! Brother Yuzhe means that everyone's tastes are different from mine!"

"That's not what I meant, you idiot!!"

"Waaaaah!!"

.................

After being chopped several times by Yu Zhe, Xiao Lizhi finally understood what he meant.

She covered her head, which didn't actually hurt, and pouted as she admitted her mistake.

"Hmm... I know, I knew it wouldn't work if I just said whether it was good or not... Sigh, everyone spoils me too much, it's really a headache."

"It's none of your business to have a headache! I'm so angry..."

Sometimes, lychees really are awful!

Yu Zhe crossed his arms and asked in an annoyed tone, "So, I'm actually starting to worry. You're not going to be so discouraged that you won't want to do this new job anymore? Well... I was just pointing out your mistakes. If you learn more about the terminology and can make objective evaluations, this job is indeed quite suitable for you."

It seems that Yu Zhe was overthinking it.

Little Lychee is still the same little sun. She playfully sticks out her tongue, puts her hands behind her back, and her golden hair sways, making her both cute and confident.

"I won't give up so easily~ Brother Yu Zhe helped point it out, and I'll learn slowly by watching the video tutorials. It's just... I'll have to work hard again this time."

"Life is about continuous effort... Unlike you, who stays in bed all day, not knowing what you're waiting for."

"Then we'll definitely wait for Brother Yuzhe to come to bed!"

"Don't try to pick up on me with weird things!"

"Well!"

While they were playfully bickering over there, Xiaomeng was still observing the few untouched plates on her table.

The vegetables here are the same ones that Xiaolizhi just ate.

Yu Zhe noticed her, grabbed Xiao Lizhi's head with one hand in a claw-like shape, and turned around to ask.

"Xiao Meng? What are you looking at? Are you hungry?"

"It's not that I'm hungry, we just had lunch, I was just thinking... if Xiaolizhi learns online, she definitely won't be able to learn it, right?"

That's right.

This girl is inconsistent; she only studies sporadically. If she were to study like this in real life, she would probably lose focus, let alone study online.

Her self-discipline is practically zero!

Yu Zhe turned around and tapped Xiao Lizhi's forehead: "See? Xiao Meng knows how hopeless you are."

"Waaaaah! I know I was wrong!"

You'd be a fool to admit you're wrong!

Yu Zhe originally thought that Xiao Meng just wanted to express how terrible Xiao Lizhi was.

But that's not what she meant.

Her next sentence was the key point she wanted to make.

"Uh... Yu Zhe, Xiao Lizhi, what I mean is... Anyway, the college entrance exam is over, and I'm pretty free. There's still some time before school starts, so how about I teach Xiao Lizhi how to use terminology to appreciate and judge food? A month of intensive training, I don't believe she can't learn it! She has a strong learning ability."

These words calmed down Yu Zhe and Xiao Lizhi.

Let's not talk about anything else...

Yu Zhe blinked in surprise: "Xiao Meng, you can actually... taste food?"

"That's right! I'm the daughter of a restaurant owner! This little thing is a piece of cake. I'm not bragging, but I have a pretty good palate. My mom used to say that I even have the talent to be a food connoisseur!"

To make this more vivid and descriptive, Xiaomeng even stuck out her tongue for Yuzhe to see.

This way

...It feels a little bittersweet for some reason.

Yu Zhe silently looked away, nodded with a wry smile, and remained noncommittal.

"Ah! Yu Zhe, you don't trust me! Fine, just you wait and see!"

Xiao Meng's competitive spirit has been ignited.

Even when she wasn't hungry, she would still use a fork to pick up a piece of cut steak.

Unlike stuffing a whole lychee into your mouth, you take only a corner, dip it in sauce, and put it into your cherry-like mouth to chew and savor it slowly.

After finishing her steak, Xiaomeng put down her knife and fork, crossed her arms over her flat chest, and savored the flavor with a swaying head.

"Angus, medium-rare, perfectly marbled, melts in your mouth, truly excellent. However, the sauce is rather perfunctory; it's probably just the most common basic vinaigrette found in restaurants. It needs improvement, and..."

Blah blah blah, Xiao Meng said a lot.

Little Lychee listened to the rambling explanation, completely bewildered and not understanding a thing!

But Yu Zhe, chin in hand, listened with great interest.

As for this kind of knowledge, the all-knowing Yu Zhe has also studied it before. He can't say he's an expert, but he has a good understanding of it.

And...every word Xiaomeng said was spot on, and absolutely correct.

Oh dear...

It seems that Little Lychee will be welcoming a wonderful little teacher this summer!

45. The most delicious delicacy

When Xiaomeng teaches Xiaolizhi, it's a case of mutual restraint.

Xiao Meng's seemingly carefree but actually quite serious and responsible personality is perfect for disciplining Xiao Lizhi, who is careless, easily distracted, but actually really wants to learn something.

Yu Zhe waited patiently by the side, waiting for Xiao Meng to complete her first lesson for Xiao Lizhi this summer.

"This candied sweet potato... well, it's not really tasty, but it's not completely worthless either. It's sweet but not cloying, and the candied strands, when dipped in water, are chewy as long as they don't break. However, I don't recommend adding this dish to the menu. The sweet potato selection is very average, and the cooking method is also just average. Putting it in your high-end restaurant would only ruin your reputation. There are different types of sweet potatoes, you know. Maybe it would be more suitable for my family's restaurant?"

"I see!" Little Lychee was greatly enlightened. "I've learned something! Little Meng, please allow me to take you as my apprentice... cough cough! No, I want to become your disciple!"

"I already said I wanted to take you as my apprentice... Uh, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for someone so young to call himself my master?"

"There's nothing wrong with it! Ability has nothing to do with height. Little Meng is amazing, that's all."

"I meant I'm young! I didn't say I'm tall or short! You were definitely doing this on purpose!"

"Waaaaah, no!! I misunderstood!"
