Chapter 155: A Vision for Barbecue
After chatting with Emily for a while longer, Gus carried out a large tray of food from the kitchen.
“Thanks for the hard work, Gus,” Leon said once Gus had placed the dishes in front of him.
“Haha, not at all. I’m a chef—cooking food that fills my guests’ stomachs is my duty.” Gus waved a hand and grinned at Leon. “Starfruit is always open to you, Leon.”
“Hahaha, then I guess I’ll be coming to bother you often,” Leon replied with a laugh.
“Good.” Gus nodded, then remembered to add, “Still, I suggest you cook for yourself sometimes. Emily told me your cooking is excellent, and you’ve even come up with some new cooking methods. I think you have the potential to become a great chef, so don’t let that talent go to waste just because you’re lazy.”
“Haha, it’s not something I invented. It’s just the cooking style from my hometown,” Leon explained.
“Close enough. Either way, I look forward to seeing you improve your skills. Who knows—maybe we can exchange tips in the future.” Gus leaned closer and lowered his voice.
“If you want to learn new recipes, I can give you my personal recipe collection. This is old Gus’s secret stash—don’t tell anyone.”
“That’s… a bit too much, isn’t it?” Leon was touched. They hadn’t known each other long, and Gus was already offering to share his most guarded recipes. It was overwhelming.
