Chapter 216 - 213 The Team
Any leader would have told a blockhead like Cao Zhenjiang to buzz off as far as he could.
Gao Yuan was curious, how did a person like Cao Zhenjiang manage to survive in the army, a place with such a strict hierarchy? With his temper, how could he still be in the service; were his leaders all spineless clay figures?
"Anyway, I just have one principle, ’Whether it’s a mule or a horse, take it out for a stroll.’ We don’t know anything about the ’Four Major Cuisines’ or the ’Eight Culinary Traditions’; we just cook whatever tastes good, and whatever we cook tastes good. That’s it, you guys figure it out."
Xinghe stood up and then said with interest, "Alright, then let’s have a competition. You can start cooking now. We’ll eat before we leave, and whoever makes the tastiest food can join."
Liu Muyang’s face turned from white to red after hearing Xinghe’s words, then slowly from red back to white again. Then he waved his hand very slowly and said, "Four dishes and a soup, cook enough for a company, the rest of the selected team members get ready to leave; we dine in two hours and depart immediately after, dismissed!"
Everyone filed out. When everyone else had left, Liu Muyang said to Gao Yuan, "This Cao Zhenjiang... his temper really isn’t suitable."
Gao Yuan nodded; he certainly didn’t want a thorny character in his team, especially the kind who wasn’t open to reason.
"I’m looking for a chef who can cook delicious food; everything else, I think, is secondary."
