Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Chapter 107: The Young Master Can Cook Too

The group arrived at Yunhe Garden, and Xu Yunzhou, quite unceremoniously, sent everyone off to prep the ingredients.

Although Li Yuexing and the others had told her she didn’t need to help with the prep work, Yun Zijin felt too awkward to do nothing, so she followed them into the back kitchen.

Out of the 21 people in the group, including Yun Zijin and Mei Lin, there were only four women. Two of them were designers from the Sheng and Li Groups.

Xu Yunzhou sauntered over to Li Yuexing’s side and asked in a low voice, "Which one is the Zijing you were just talking about?"

He was a few years older than Li Yuexing and the others, and of a slightly higher generation, but that didn’t stop him from having a gossip’s heart.

"Take a guess?"

There was no way Li Yuexing would spill the beans that easily.

"Not talking? Well then, I guess the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall you ordered is probably off the menu."

Xu Yunzhou wasn’t one to be trifled with; he immediately found a way to get leverage over Li Yuexing.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was his signature dish. Anyone who got to eat it was considered lucky.

If he hadn’t happened to have prepared a few portions yesterday, there definitely wouldn’t have been any when they suddenly called to say they were coming for dinner today.

"It’d be no fun if I just told you directly. You have to observe carefully."

Li Yuexing still didn’t give a clear answer, but his tone was less punch-worthy than before.

Yun Zijin walked a lap around the kitchen but, to her surprise, couldn’t find a single thing to do.

Lu Yunque passed in front of Yun Zijin, carrying a basket of string beans. Seeing the unprepared beans, Yun Zijin’s eyes lit up.

"Mr. Lu, are you going to string the beans?"

Lu Yunque stopped, turned his head to look at Yun Zijin, and nodded.

"Mhm, want to join?"

"Sure!"

Finally finding something to do, a smile spread across Yun Zijin’s face.

The kitchen was too crowded, so Lu Yunque carried the basket out to the courtyard of Yunhe Garden.

Luckily, Yunhe Garden hadn’t opened for business yet when they called, so besides their group and the restaurant’s staff, there was no one else there.

As for Chef Xu, he didn’t want to cook for too many people, so he had rejected everyone who called after Lu Yunque.

The two of them sat on chairs in the courtyard, placing the basket of beans on the low table between them.

Watching Lu Yunque expertly string the beans, Yun Zijin was a bit surprised. "I thought a man of your high standing wouldn’t get his hands dirty. I didn’t expect you to be so skilled."

"I studied abroad for a year. You know what foreign food is like, but I happen to have a Hua Country stomach, so I had to learn to fend for myself."

Living alone for a year, I learned to do all the things I couldn’t do before.

"So you know how to cook, too?"

Hearing Lu Yunque say that, Yun Zijin was even more surprised.

’I can’t believe someone like Lu Yunque, who seems to live on a different plane, actually has practical life skills.’

"I can make some simple dishes. I never learned formally."

You couldn’t expect his self-taught cooking skills to be that amazing.

"That’s still really impressive. I thought you..."

"Thought that someone with my background wouldn’t lift a finger and couldn’t tell one crop from another?"

Yun Zijin trailed off, but Lu Yunque finished the sentence for her.

Yun Zijin gave a dry laugh; she hadn’t thought he was *that* out of touch.

"It seems I’ve been misjudged by stereotypes. Next time I have a chance, I’ll cook a meal for you to clear my name."

With that, Lu Yunque finished stringing the last bean and put it in the basket. "All done. You can relax out here for a bit. I’ll just take these in to wash them."

With so many people, the prep work was divided among them, so no one had much to do individually.
